Nothing like Us ※ jikook

VI. 24/7=Heaven

'Cause nothing can ever,
Ever replace you.
Nothing can make me feel like you do, yeah.
You know there's no one
I can relate to.
And know we won't find a love that's so true.

Today, is the first thought that surfaces in Jungkook's mind when he wakes.

Today...is October 12th.

The very thought is enough to fully rouse the maknae from his deep slumber, and his mouth curves into the tiniest of smiles as he stretches. Sitting up on his bed, Jungkook rubs at his eyes groggily and yawns, blindly groping around for his phone in the dark.

Hold on. In the dark...?

In a slightly more frantic search for his phone - which he finds after a good five minutes - the maknae fumbles with it before he switches it on (and groans when the bright glare of the screen almost blinds his eyes).

Good going there, Jungkook.

Every trace of annoyance is swept away, however, when his eyes adjust to the artificial light and widen significantly - in surprise or shock, he doesn't know, because the screen clearly shows 0530 and the alarm he set yesterday wasn't due to ring in another two hours.

So why the hell has he woken up this early? Jungkook honestly doesn't have a single clue. He tries to reason with himself on what could've awoken him. Namjoon's snoring? No, his hyung's snoring is barely audible for once. The cold? Again, no - he woke up tightly snuggled up under his duvet. Excitement, perhaps?

Maybe.

Probably.

...Very likely.

Jungkook hadn't been able to shrug off the excitement that had bubbled inside him since the day before, and he'd gone to sleep yesterday feeling all jittery, heart thumping so hard he was practically convinced it was about to burst right out of his ribcage.

...oh, who am I kidding?

Yes, it's exactly because of that.

It's something Jungkook still can't make sense of, because there's still 18 hours and 23 minutes left to Jimin's birthday and he's already been anticipating tomorrow since yesterday, or the day before (or a week prior...not that he'd admit that to anyone).

Taehyung's idea better work.

In all honesty, Jungkook had thought that his idea actually sounded pretty nice when Taehyung told the maknae his plan in hushed whispers right after they got home, complete with extravagant hand gestures and excitement evidently laced in the boy's words. That is, after he got over his initial confusion.

"Rooftop? Stargazing? Birthday? What?"

"Yeah! There's gonna be a full moon on Jiminie's birthday! You can bring him to the rooftop of the building after we eat the cake and everything and stargaze with him and confess then! Or like, moongaze, 'cause you probably won't see too many stars with the light pollution. But hey, good idea amirite? Only by yours truly~"
