ETHEREAL (Jikook)

do you love me, too?

Jungkook sighs, being pulled along by a group of people.

"Come on, it'll be fun," A stranger whispers into his ear.

He swallows hard.

Eyeing the dance floor like he's never seen one before.

Nothing about this seems fun.

Until he sees Jimin.

Jimin smiling with a bunch of people, half of them he doesn't even know.

Jungkook's heart flutters, because he's in love.

Yet he frowns because Jimin doesn't know.

And because he's jealous.

Seeing Jimin, the person he's always there for, boosting up, bonding with others, of course it'll do that to him.

There are so many times where Jungkook just wants to look into his eyes and ask, Do you love me too?

Even a little?

Not at all?

He fears the answer will shatter his heart.

But he also can't help but wonder.

If I have even the slightest chance, the last thing I'd want is to regret never finding that out.

He runs a hand through his hair, fixes his shirt, and sighs shakily.

Jimin looks so happy.

He looks like he's letting go.

Letting go of every problem in his life, or any ounce of stress he's been feeling.

And it's absolutely beautiful, to Jungkook.

Jimin looks beautiful.

"He's ethereal," He whispers.

Jimin is the one who dragged Jungkook here, so this must mean Jimin is the one who wanted to have fun, with Jungkook here.

I can't keep standing here.

Jungkook walks, right towards the dance floor. Specifically towards Jimin.

You have to let loose, too.

Don't be so scared all the time.

Don't be so weak.

He smiles softly once he stands right behind the small brunette.

He taps Jimin's shoulder gently, causing the smaller to turn around.

"Yes, you're here!" Jimin exclaims, giving Jungkook a quick hug.

Jungkook blushes shyly, "I've been here."

"I mean on the dance floor..."

"Oh..."

The two look at each other.

Jungkook is pink, trying his hardest to maintain eye contact although he's a nervous mess.

Jimin notices this, because he knows Jungkook all too well.

"Dance with me."

"Hm?"

Jimin laughs, "Dance with me!"

"I-I don't know how!"

"Jungkook, don't think so much...that's exactly what all of this is about..look around you."

Jungkook observes the place.

Observes every soul here looking as free as Jimin did a few seconds ago.
