klooble pov

i sat there in geography, stunned that jungkook asked me out. i looked so dazed, like i had just seen the scariest thing in my life. except it wasn't scary, it was amazing.

"are you okay klookloo?" kaykay asked while typing. we're working on our project.

"oh, yeah, sorry. i just can't wait for after school." i said.

"ahh me too! i'm so happy for you, i think he really likes you!" kaykay said. she started reading over what she had just written.

"10 minutes left!" ms nessa barrett called. jungkook is next!!

"we have six slides, we have what is the joseon dynasty, how it started, who were the rulers, battles involving them, prominent figures, and if they had any affect on korea. do we need more?" kaykay asked.

yes, i did help, i researched while she typed. don't worry, i'm a good helper!

"we might be good, unless you find other things to add." i said.

"sure!" kaykay closed her laptop. we'll just say we're done and we're going to rehearse tonight if ms nessa barrett asks.

"you should help me find restaurants for jungkook and i." i told kaykay. 

"okay!" kaykay got out her phone.

we decided on a cafe that was on hongdae street. it was on the more busier part, not my part. hongdae is one of the biggest attractions in seoul because it has lively nightlife and really good restaurants and cafes, which ultimately decided we'd be going there.

we changed and sat on the bench, waiting for mr changbin seo. there i saw jungkook, so i went up to him showing the cafe kaykay and i found.

"that looks good!" he said happily, "it's on hongdae?" he asked.

"yep! hongdae's a popular tourist attraction, it has a ton of good food options." i said.

"you'd have to take me to some." jungkook smirked. i smiled so hard.

the train left at 2:58. the next one was at 3:34, but we didn't want to wait that long, so we ran to the metro instead. thankfully, mr zayn malik understood our circumstances and let jungkook and i get our bags early and leave 10 minutes before. mr zayn malik is one of my favourite teachers for sure.

"oh, thank god!" we were both out of breath. it was 2:53.

"the train for susaek to hongik univ. is leaving shortly." the intercom said.

we looked at the board to see what platform it was. it was on platform b.

"still crowded!" jungkook exaggerated.

"we should upgrade." i said.

"agreed."

"now arriving at hongik univ."

we got off and went upstairs. jungkook put on google maps to start our route to the cafe.

"so if we go that way points left, then turn left at the first intersection, go up a diversion of yanghwa road, there's a red path that's hongdae. we can turn right and the cafe is about the second one off that." jungkook stated.

"wow, you're quite good with directions." i said.

"yeah, i was the map in my old friend group," jungkook said.

we started our route to the cafe. im still in disbelief she even said yes, like i've never been rejected but i was so scared i was going to be humiliated in front of so many people.

klooble spotted the cafe as we turned right.

"this looks cute," i said.

"which is why i picked it." she said.

now, i was going to respond with just like you, but not now. i will when i'm not as chicken.

"hi! what can i get for you two?" the barista asked.

"i'll get chamomile tea and two chocolate chip cookies," i said.

"i'll get coffee with cream and sugar and blueberry cheesecake." jungkook said.

"perfect! your order number is 13, just walk up to that pick up counter over there when your number is called." the barista handed me the receipt and pointed to where the counter was.

"thank you!" we said it at the same time.

"jinx!" jungkook said.

"oh, you!" i said as jungkook punched me lightly on the arm.

we sat at a table by the window and both looked outside.

"beautiful day out, really glad you said yes." jungkook sounded relieved.

"well, you're a nice guy, and you seem amazing to go out with."

i didn't actually want to say that, what i really wanted to say was "OH OF COURSE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH JUNGKOOK CAN WE PLEASE BE TOGETHER??" but no, it's a little too early in the friendship-soon-to-be-relationship. 

"13?" another barista called 5 minutes later. didn't take too long.

"i'll get it," jungkook got up.

"uh, no, i will thank you very much." i said also getting up.

"no! i took you out, i need to be a gentleman."

we fought sillily to the counter.

"thanks!" jungkook smirked as he grabbed the food and i grabbed the drinks.

we sat back at our table and ate our food.

"this is good! good choice klooble." jungkook ate his cheesecake. i went to steal some.

"hey!" jungkook grabbed a piece of my cookie.

"oh, this is good!" i said chewing.

we sat there and ate our food, drank our drinks, and admired hongdae street. soon after we were done, thanked the barista and went out to the front of the cafe.

"jungkook, thank you for this. this was really nice." i said.

"any time! again sometime?" he asked.

"of course!" 

just then, i had the urge to do something i never thought i'd do.

i hugged him.

he hugged me back.

we hugged for about three minutes.

that was the best three minutes of my life.
