Captivated Hearts (On Hold)

Chapter 9

Liam's win was obvious. He earned every point, unlike Kai who only scored 6. Additionally, Liam was able to answer all the questions that Kai got wrong, Jisoo mentioned.
Liam's buddies cheered for him, while Kai's pals were shocked.
Liam noticed his father's proud look, and Jennie's parents seemed impressed.
Jennie was glowing with happiness, and Liam exchanged a smile with her.
Liam's smile faded when Jisoo revealed the next challenge: a cooking competition.

Liam was in trouble. He had never cooked before, and he was terrible at it. The last time he tried, he almost burned the house down.

Liam POV;

"I'm screwed, man, what should I do now?" I exclaimed.

"We're clueless about the dish we want to cook," Taehyung mentioned.

"Yeah, if we knew, we could give it couple of tries before giving up," Jungkook suggested.

"But who burns a kitchen four times, right?" I asked optimistically.

"Well, I've actually burned our kitchen five times, so yeah, four is possible" Taehyung replied, giving me a look.

"Bro, you're not making it any better," Jimin chimed in.

"What? I'm just stating the facts," Taehyung defended himself.

"Let's watch a movie to take our minds off this," Jungkook proposed, grinning at me.

"How is that going to help me with my mood?" I inquired.

"Jennie and her friends are planning to watch a movie tonight, so do you want to join?" He suggested.

"Definitely, count me in," I agreed happily, getting up.

"But hold on, how did you find out?" Jimin questioned.

Oh yeah, that's true. How does he know what Jennie is up to? I gave him a questioning look.

"Umm.. I.. I just.. Nayeon told me," Jungkook stammered.

"When, how?" we all asked.

"I have her number. We're just friends," Jungkook explained.

"Ohhhhh" We teased him and headed to the cinema hall near our cottages.

-----------
As we headed to the cinema, Jennie saw us.

Jungkook nudged me, "Let's pretend we didn't expect to see them." We nodded in agreement and approached them.

Jimin greeted, "Oh, hey It's fancy seen you here guys"

As we approached them, I caught Nayeon giving Jungkook a mischievous glance. Jungkook responded with a wink. What's happening between these two?

"Hey everyone! Oh, look who's here, Liam! I didn't think I'd see you because I thought you were busy practicing your cooking skills," Jisoo said to me.

"Well, not really. Cooking isn't really my thing. I'm more focused on winning in the end," I replied.

Jisoo playfully remarked, "Confident, huh? That's great. So you're really into my sister, huh?"

I blushed, noticing that Jennie was blushing as well.

"Um, hey...we actually just came here to watch a movie, so I guess I'll see you later."I quickly responded and headed inside, grabbing the person next to me. That person happened to be Taehyung.

"What's up with you?" Taehyung asked, looking confused.

"I can't face Jennie. She knows that I have feelings for her. I'm really shy. Like, super shy," I explained.

"Oh, you mean like that song 'Super Shy' by NewJeans?" He asked.

Then he started singing it. " I'm super shy, super shy
But wait a minute while I make you mine, make you mine
떨리는 지금도 you're on my mind all the time
I wanna tell you, but I'm super shy, super shy
I'm super shy, super shy
But wait a minute while I make you mine, make you mine
떨리는 지금도 you're on my mind all the time
I wanna tell you, but I'm super shy, super shy"
