Revealed Feelings

Chapter 4

JK's POV

Okay. I knew I had to talk to him. "But how? How do I approach this situation without seeming like a complete freak? Maybe I should wait and see if he really feels the same way about me or if I'm just being delusional..." These questions echoed in my mind, and I didn't realize the guys were calling me.

"Hey, JK! He-llooo! JK to Earth!" Hobi-hyung shouted in front of me.

I shook my head and looked at him. "Sorry, hyung..." I said as I stood up.

"We're going to play Dodgeball, want to join?" He pointed to a ball that, to be honest, I had no idea where he found.

"Sure, sure." It'll be fun, at least it'll help me distract myself.

We all headed to the garden near the pool, marked the lines with some beer cans, and started choosing our teams. Unluckily, I ended up on the opposite team from Jin-hyung, and I knew I'd be ruined if it was just the two of us left. I knew I couldn't hit a ball at that perfect face of his.

"Let's go!" Jin hyung shouted to everyone and when our eyes met, he smiled gently. If he keeps looking at me like that, it's going to be hard to win this game.

We took our positions on opposite sides of the improvised court and prepared to play. The game started energetically, and I was determined to hit anyone but Jin-hyung.

But in an unfortunate turn of events, as he ran to dodge balls coming his way, one of the staff members who was on my team hit him with the ball. I didn't know whether to celebrate or punch the motherfucker for hitting him.

Jin hyung smiled awkwardly but didn't seem bothered and went to the back where those who were hit stayed.

Near the end of the game, there were only Tae and me facing each other. He threw the ball at me. I was fast and grabbed it, then threw it back as hard as I could in his direction. The ball hit him, ricocheted, and went towards Jin-hyung. I panicked; Jin-hyung was talking to Namjoon-hyung and didn't notice that the ball was about to hit him right in the face.

I ran at full speed and threw myself in front of Jin-hyung. The ball hit my back with such force that I was pushed onto him, and because he was distracted, we both fell to the ground.

As we fell, my lips accidentally brushed against his, in an soft kiss. Both of us were momentarily shocked by the unexpected and intimate contact. Our eyes met, and in that moment, I noticed something that filled me with hope.

His whole face turned red; his previously cool skin now felt warm like a volcano. I wanted to capture that moment in a photo, thinking about how I wish to have him under me every day with that sweet look and those plump lips... My thoughts were interrupted when Hobi-hyung pulled me by the shirt.

"Ahhh, COME ON, JK? Why did you do that? We could've won the game."

"S-sorry, hyung! I saw that the ball was going to hurt Jin-hyung, so I acted on impulse..." I said as I got up and extended my hand to help Jin-hyung up too.

He grab my hand, stood up, "Thanks, JK..." It was the only thing Jin-hyung said to me as he fixed his clothes and walked away without much explanation.

Hi's eyes were filled with surprise and maybe a touch of embarrassment after the accidental kiss. While Hobi-hyung continued to scold me for being distracted during the game, I couldn't take my eyes off Jin-hyung, who was walking back to our house.

Hobi-hyung noticed that something more was going on because he suddenly stopped scolding me. "Are you okay, JK? You seem a bit shaken," he asked.

I scratched my neck and gave him a shy smile. "Me? I'm fine, hyung. I was just wondering if Jin hyung is ok.." To be honest I was dying to go after him and find out what he's thinking, but I know I shouldn't.

The game ended at that moment, and we came back to the party which continued for a while longer, but gradually, everyone started leaving.

Jimin, Hobi-hyung, and I stayed to clean up the mess in the garden, while Tae and Yoongi-hyung cleaned up inside the house. Namjoon-hyung went upstairs feeling sick, and we didn't want to bother him.

When I finished, I said goodbye to everyone and headed to my room. As I walked down the hallway, I noticed that the lights in Jin-hyung's room were off; he probably went to bed.

So I entered my room, grabbed a towel from the dresser, and headed for the bathroom. "I just need a good shower" I thought. As the water touched me from head to toe, I kept reliving the accidental kiss and how soft his skin was, and how sweet his scent was, like a strawberry field. Every detail, every fragment of the moment, was playing in my mind like a film, and I didn't realize I had spent almost an hour in the bathroom.

"Are you alright in there?" I heard a muffled voice coming from Jin hyung's room.

When I heard his voice, I turned off the shower, dried myself, and wrapped the towel around my waist. I opened the door that led to his room. He was lying in the bed, watching a game on his tablet, and when he saw me open the door, he placed the tablet on the bed and turned to face me.

"S-sorry, hyung... I guess I got lost in my thoughts and didn't realize how much time had passed," I said, still drying my hair with the towel.

He nodded and, still a bit awkward, got up from the bed and approached me slowly. He lightly hit my shoulders, looking a little embarrassed about the accidental kiss. He scratched his hair and looked down before finally speaking, "Sorry for leaving so suddenly earlier. I was just caught off guard... I didn't expect that to happen."

OMG! IM GONNA DIE. He looks so cute when he's shy, and I feel like squeezing his cheeks and telling him he's the most beautiful thing in the world.

"No need to apologize, hyung. It was an accident, and I didn't expect it either. But you know what, it wasn't that bad..." I smiled gently, trying to ease the tension.

He smiled slightly, completely embarrassed, and looked me in the eyes.
"It really wasn't bad" he said, returning to his bed.

"Did I hear what I just heard? Did he really say that the kiss wasn't bad? Am I not imagining this?" I was screaming in my head, amazed by him saying that the kiss wasn't bad.

"Are you going to stand there all night?" He was now frowning at me.

I snapped back to reality and smiled. I turned to leave his room, but a brilliant idea came to mind. I have to try.

I took a step back, turned to face him, and approached the bed. He was looking at me, trying to understand what was happening.

" I'm going to bed right now.. Sweet dreams hyung..." I said putting my hand on his neck, leaned in, and kissed his cheek, almost at the corner of his lips.

When we made eye contact, his eyes were narrowed, and he was staring at me intently. His cheek was now completely red. " See you tomorrow, hyung" I caressed his hair and left for my room.

I entered my room with my heart racing, I lay on the bed, reminiscing about the accidental kiss and the non accidental almost kiss I had the courage to make before leaving Jin hyung's room.

A feeling of euphoria overwhelmed me, and I could hardly believe that I had the courage to approach him like that. And his reaction was so adorable. Like,  I thought FOR REAL he was going to yell at me or something...

The memories of the moment played like a movie in my mind, and I couldn't help but smile every time I thought about it. These unexpected accidents with Jin-hyung left me with a feeling that something special might develop between us.
