hugging you

seven

"I think it's a date." Juliet explained to her pets, sitting on her bed, scratching Louie's head. "I don't know though. I really hope it wasn't out of pity though."

'I don't think it'd be out of pity.' Liam protested, Mallie nodding. 'You and him really got along together last night!'

"He was so nice to me today." Juliet sighed. "I just hope I can return the favor."

'You know Mom, this entire lifetime isn't about favors and returning them.' Mallie purred, laying against Liam. 'You are allowed to accept comfort and love from others and not have to "pay it back."'

"I'm a little nervous." Juliet admitted, talking to her three best friends like normal. "I really like him."

'We know.' All of them said.

"YOU ALL NEED TO LISTEN!" Jungkook pointed a spatula at all of the members, them staring at him with wide eyes. "I have bribed you all with food." He pointed the spatula at the huge buffet-like meal. "Now all you need to do is stay in your rooms all night and not make noise and not eavesdrop or spy on me and Juliet. Got it?"

"No." Taehyung smiled, eating his food. "This is my house too."

Jungkook took a deep breath. "GET OUT THEN!"

"Okay, he's here." Juliet stood up, seeing Jungkook pull into her driveway. "God he has such a nice car." Juliet picked up her dog's leashes, going to the front door. "He must be rich." She opened the door, Jungkook's hand raised to knock on the door.

"Hey." A smile spread across his face, his hand lowering. "You got everything?"

"One two three," She looked down at her pets, Mallie in her arms. "Four." Juliet turned to the side, Candyland in a tote bag. "I'm good."

"Do you want me to help carry anything?" Jungkook asked as she locked her door behind her, putting her keys in her bag. "I can take the dogs?"

"Sure," Juliet handed the leashes over, Jungkook smiling down at the dogs. "Are they allowed to be in the back? They can go in the trunk if it's connected and open to the back."

"They can go on the seats, it's totally fine." Jungkook opened the back door, gesturing to the seats. Louie and Liam jumped into the car, sitting on the seats, staring at their mom.

'Look Mom! We did good!' Liam wagged his tail, Juliet waving at them.

"Good boys." She said as Jungkook shut the door. He jumped to the side soon after, opening the door for her. "Oh thank you." She giggled, sitting in the front seat, letting Jungkook shut the door for her. "He's so sweet!" She whispered to Mallie, Mallie meowing.

'Maybe.'

"Did you eat dinner?" Jungkook asked, putting his seatbelt on. "We can get something if you didn't."

"Uhm, I thought we were eating at your place?" Juliet slowly put her seatbelt on, Jungkook freezing.

"Oh shit I did say that." Jungkook scratched his face, staring at the dashboard. "Okay let's go get something."

"If you already ate, we don't need to get anything." Juliet reassured, chuckling. "I'm fine."

Jungkook gasped dramatically, putting his hand on his chest as he backed out of her driveway. "Miss Juliet, you cannot skip meals."

"But-"

"Ah!" Jungkook held up a finger, Juliet sighing loudly. "McDonalds sounds good."

"Okay." Juliet nodded, brushing Mallie's back. "Let's get that."
