krista's pov

I fluttered my lips as I flopped myself into my bed. Three days to go before my birthday, I guess.

I wish I could celebrate my birthday with Seokjin though. I might as well invite him along with my family. I also want to invite Jungkook since he's being friendly as well.

Speaking of Jungkook, he texted me just now. Honestly, I love the way he's being attached to me lately. I love his presence.

I started to feel nervous because I honestly don't know what he's talking about. I'm afraid he's trolling me or not but even if I'm scared, I still dared to open the door.

A presence of Jungkook is standing to my door with a box of pizza on his other hand. I felt like I was about to cry because I was literally craving for pizza and he's currently making me satisfy my cravings.

"Jungkook," I smiled as my tears started to fill up my eyes. I started to fan my eyes using my hands but since it's useless, I just wiped my tears instead. He gave me a worried look but still smiled. I covered my face since I feel pretty embarrassed at the moment but I was surprised when he pulled me for a hug, still have the pizza box on his hand.

"Surprise, Krista," he whispered through my ear. "Please eat well."

"You too," I added which caused us to pull away from the hug. Goodness, do I even deserve to have this glorious man by my side? What is he to me? I really wonder what he sees on me. I mean, I shouldn't even assume anything at all.

"Get in," I acknowledged him. He entered my house as he put the pizza box on the table at the dining area. "So what brings you here? You're lucky that I'm still awake or else you'll get so impatient waiting out there."

"No way, you usually get distracted from a little noise though. So if I call you then you'll wake up from the ringtone," he scoffed and stuck out his tongue.

"Nah, my phone is on silent mode at the moment. So I still have my reasons, Jungkook," I told him while opening the box of pizza. "Oh, by the way, thank you for the pizza."

"Yeah, it's nothing," he grinned. "I just feel like you need stress-free food since you're very focused on school."

"You really do care a lot about me," I whispered.

"I do," he snorted. Oh my God, he heard me even though I just whispered to myself for not Jungkook to hear.

I felt my stomach clenched as he told me that and finally realized what he just said―he cares for me. I just hope he's being true to his words.

"I―I―" I gulp, feeling a lump on my throat. I eventually said, feeling loss of words. "Let's just eat."

"All right," he grunted as he stood up from the couch. I looked at him and noticed the height difference of us. I snorted at my thoughts. He stood next to me and grabbed a slice of pizza. He took a bite of it and I, as well, ate a slice of pizza.

"Guess who's birthday it is in three days?" I whipped, trying to hide my excitement.

"You, duh," he snorted.

"Oh my gosh, you're a genius! How did you guess that fast?" I replied, still full of excitement. I clapped both of my hands.

"Krista, come on, it's pretty obvious though," he muttered, which caused us to laugh quietly. "All right, so what are your plans for your birthday?"

"I don't know. Well―" I sighed, "I want to celebrate it by going on a fancy restaurant or watch a movie or I don't know―whatever floats the boat then."

"Make sure I'm invited," he winked. I playfully smacked his arm which made him whine.

"Oh, come on, Jungkook. Of course you're invited if ever I make a small celebration," I told him with a slight grin plastered on my face. "Not to mention that you're number one on the list."

Oops, I lied. Scratch that, Jin is still the one yet I forgot the fact that he's still present. He just doesn't show up. Damn it.

"Wow, never thought I'd be this dedicated to someone I truly cherish," he said while looking at me with a warm smile.

My heart started to beat faster than the usual as it felt like it's about to pop out due to his sweetness. I just hope that he's being true to his words. I just feel like he's a true friend and I'm important to him. He cherishes me.

All of a sudden, I felt tears streaming down my face. "Wha―Krista, did I just say something wrong? If I did, I'm sorry!" he panicked. He stood up and went near me as he wiped my tears using his thumb.

"No... no. You didn't say anything wrong," I sniffed. "I just hope that if ever you consider me as an important person, then please don't slowly leave me. Just talk to me―please. I just feel like my friendship with Seokjin is slowly drifting away."

Jungkook hushed me up and pulled me for a warm hug. "Krista, I'll never leave you by your side and I promise you that."

"Jungkook," I told him. "Thank you."

Jungkook ended up having an overnight stay in my house although we didn't share a bed, of course. I placed a mattress on the floor beside my bed for Jungkook.

Good night, Jungkook. Thank you for understanding me.

author's note

ok honestly at all, i feel bad for bangtan being chased by some people in sweden. it really stressed me out that i just want to comfort bangtan but i know that it's impossible since they don't even know i exist. but do you get what i mean??? i honestly want to comfort them gdi. bangtan should be enjoying their vacation, not to be chased!!! people who chased them so at least know their boundaries wtf i'm pissed sigh.

i hope bangtan's all right tho
