Lost Stars 〈 Jinkook 〉

Chapter 12: The End

The day seem to turn to night quickly. Jungkook felt so anxious and he's gripping on Yoongi tight and the rapper felt as if he was going to leave a mark. But he made no comment and bared the pain. Hoseok, Taehyung, and Jimin were retrieving the last decorations for the dinner date.

Namjoon was setting up their dinner on the roof since it seem romantic and the stars would be out tonight. Yoongi dragged the shaking Maknae with him to the roof.

"Jungkook-ah, what's wrong?"Namjoon asks and tries to pry the trembling fingers off Yoongi.

"H-hyung. I'm really nervous and I don't think I can do this."Jungkook whispered, a dejected expression visible.

"You'll be alright Kookie. We all have faith in you. We've seen how he's around you. It's completely obvious that you guys love each other. Now quit being a baby and help us, better yet prepare yourself too."Namjoon says while fixing the table cloth.

"HYUNG."Jungkook whimpers.

"Yoongi, help him."

Yoongi could only laugh and whisper something in the leader's ear making him grin. The rapper would pull the Maknae along and help him prepare for the night. Taehyung and the others had already returned.

Seokjin was out, doing some shopping, so they were able to do everything without creating any suspicions. All boys hurried with the preparations and Jungkook was left, trying to pick an outfit.

"What should I wear? Or do? Better yet. . . Say?"

The ravenette was pacing back and forth in his shared room. Feeling beyond anxious, the Maknae would drop on his bed and curl into a ball, clutching his pillow as if it was his lifeline.

"I've never been on a date and I don't want to make a fool out of myself."He whines to his pillow.

"Are you seriously talking to your pillow?"Namjoon speaks up and the young boy turns around to see his leader giving him an amused smile.

"Hyung!"

"Alright kid. Time to lose yourself a little bit. What are you so nervous about anyways?"Namjoon inquired, waiting for the Maknae to proclaim his problems so he could later on fill him in on some philosophical words.

"Hyung, I feel so pressured and unsure. I feel like he will think I'm too clingy or something. I don't want to scare him off. I want him to enjoy this moment with me as if it'll be the best memory of his life. Just like it will to mine."Jungkook confesses.

"Anything else?"

"Also. . .I don't know how to word out my love for him. I'm old enough to love but yet I feel completel foolish. I mean, who knows what could happen to me tonight. I could lose my confidence and who I truly am."

"Jungkook-ah. These feelings we get are normal when it comes to situation like these because we're practically facing one of our fears. Confessing our love. Afraid of the rejection. Afraid of what they will think. Afraid of how we, ourselves, will turn out to be in the future."Namjoon smiles faintly and puts a hand on the ravenette's shoulder.

"Does that mean—"

"It means you're finally learning the meaning of life and slowly getting over these emotions. Meaning you are prepared for any future rejections and demise. Jeon Jungkook."

Jungkook straightened when Namjoon called him by his full name.

"I believe in you. We all do. We will be there for you even if you're feeling these dark emotions. Besides, these pesky feelings will eventually disappear. You're a growing kid. Don't be afraid."
