    When you woke up, reached for your phone. It's already three. You quickly sat up but you realized Jungkook was still asleep. You placed your hand on his cheek. He shifted a bit before openning his eyes. You pulled your hand away and looked the opposite direction.

    "Mmm... Y/N, it's already three. I think you should go see Ji Hye now," he said. He sat up and well and went downstairs. 

    You grabbed your bag and went downstairs as well. Ji Hye was downstairs talking to Jungkook. She saw you coming and ran up to you. She hugged you before pulling back, "Y/N! I'm so sorry. I can't come shopping with you. Jaemin and I have to set up for the engagement party later today. But I asked Jungkook. He said he'll drive you."

    You nodded with a smile ensuring everything was okay. You and Jungkook headed to the car and drove off.

    You swiftly scanned the racks in the store. All the dresses looked beautiful (and very expensive.)

    "Jungkook, come help me pick out something," you asked. He looked bored and a bit distracted.

    "This is girl stuff. I can't help with that," he said in a boring tone.

    You frowned and grabbed a few dress you like from the rack. At times like this, you couldn't find any reason to pick up a fight with him.

    You head to the changing room. You tried on almost every dress. That was until you tried the last one. It was a red backless dress with a golden belt. You sighed. That was the last of the dresses you could afford for. It wasn't the worst you've seen. It actually looked pretty good on you. 

    You went out to show Jungkook your dress.

    "Jungkook, I thi-" you began. You didn't see Jungkook in the seat he was sitting in a few minutes ago. In fact, you saw him looking around the store. He suddenly stopped at a mannequin. It had a white, silky dress on it. It was strapless with a white lacey flower in the center of the ribbon belt. You thought for a moment before going back in and changing back into your normal clothes.

    When you got out, you still saw Jungkook looking at the dress. You went up tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and seemed startled.

    "Jungkook, what are you doing?" you asked.

    "Oh um... I was just uh- looking around. You know? I mean.... Anyways, did you find what you need?" he asked nervously.

    "Yup! I did. I'll go pay for it, and you can go wait in the car."

   As soom as he exited the store, you went up to a store worker, pointed at the white dress on the mannequin and asked, "Do you have that dress in another size?"

    You took one last spin in the mirror. You really liked the dress you bought. It really suited you.

    You made your way downstairs. You were wearing the necklace and bracelet Ji Hye left in your room. She said she would love to see you wear it.

    As you made your way into the living room, you saw Jungkook he had his tuxedo his mother picked out for him a while back.

    He turned around and saw you. He looked confused at first but then he realized something.

    "That. That was the dress I was looking at in the store. I liked that one. How did you know?" he asked.

    "Oh, I uh... saw you looking and I thought you know... that you would like it," you explained.

    "Well in that case, I love it! It looks very lovely on you," he said with a smile.

    You took his hand and said, "Come on, Jungkook! We have to leave now so we make it on time."

    Jungkook pulled his hand away from yours and nodded. You gave him a strange look.

    I thought I was warming up to him, you thought.

    The whole drive was dead silence. You wouldn't dare talk to Jungkook. In fact, you were quite afraid to.

    As you two arrived, you admired the building. It was huge. Almost shaped like a church but with a fancier design.

    You entered to see the crowded room full of people you did not know of. As you made you way to your seat, you got stuck in a crowd of people. A hand grabbed yours and pulled you away.

    "Y/N! You'll get hurt if you keep wandering around like that," a voice said.

    You turned around and saw Taehyung. You smiled.

    "Sorry. I just got here with Jungkook but I can't seem to find him..." you slowly said.

    "It's okay! You can stay with me," he said while putting his arm over your shoulder.

{Jungkook's POV}

    He looked around for you. How does she keep getting lost? he wondered.

    Then he spotted you. But not only. It was Taehyung. He always knew when to show up. Jungkook raced up and took your hand.

    "There you are! I thought I lost you," he said.

    "No, it's alright. I'm fine," you inquired.

    "If it's alright with you two, can I sit at your table?" Taehyung asked.

    Jungkook wanted to say no. No, because he didn't really like Taehyung. No, because he knew how it felt to be a third wheel.

    "Of course! You're always welcomed," Y/N said.

    Why, Y/N? Just why?

{Your POV}
   
    It was nice to see Taehyung again. He always made you happy. In the middle of the party, Taehyung tapped your shoulder and said,

    "Hey um... Y/N, can we go somewhere a little private? I want to speak with you."

    You nodded and excused yourself from the table. Before you got uo to follow him, Jungkook grabbed onto your hand.

    You gave him a reassuring smile and told him you would be right back.

    You followed Taehyung into the back of the room where there wasn't anyone.

    Taehyung began to speak, "Y/N... I've know you for part of my life... Well, actually most of it, and you make me so happy. I just... When I see you with Jungkook you never look like yourself. But I see you when your with me... Your always smiling and happy. It reminds me of when we little. And I can't but admire that."

    You nodded. Your heart was pounding against your chest. What is he saying?  you thought to yourself.

   "So what I'm trying to say is... I'm in love with you, Y/N. W-Will you go out with me?" he finished before giving a bright smile.
