Reasons To Smile (BTS x Reader)

Dinner Date with 7

Finally, it's the weekend. I sit down in my bedroom chair, letting out a deep sigh of relief. Slowly, I reach for my phone and scroll through notifications. I have missed messages from the group chat Jungkook added me to. I open up the group chat and glance through it, laughing my way down.

Hoseok Oppa: Anyone up
Yoongi Oppa: No
Hoseok Oppa: ._.
Yoongi Oppa: Yes
Jungkook Oppa: ,_,
Yoongi Oppa: Why the hell do you guys keep making those faces
Namjoon Oppa: '_'
Yoongi Oppa: I'll kill you
Seokjin Oppa: 0_0
Seokjin Oppa: We're spamming [Name]-ah's phone.
Jungkook Oppa: Well I feel like it was bound to happen at some point
Namjoon Oppa: True
Taehyung Oppa: My phone too.
Taehyung Oppa: It's the weekend go to sleep
Hoseok Oppa: Sorry Tae

I have a temptation to text in but all of this happened about half an hour ago and I wouldn't want to just pop in suddenly, I'm not quite as bold as Hoseok. I go back through the messages when I get a notification of my own.

Jung.kookie_ Followed you on Instagram

Taking a wild guess, Jungkook just followed me on Instagram. I mean it could be some other Jungkook, but I doubt it. I open the app and press my notifications to view his profile.

Selfie's of him at school and with his Hyungs are dotted throughout the grid of photos, in between are artsy filtered photos of trees. Yup, it's him. I follow him back and get a text message almost as soon as I press the button from him.

Jungkook Oppa: Oh I'm so glad I followed the right person

I act quick to think of a decent response.

Me: I'm glad it was you J

Ah shoot, wrong response. Wrong time wrong place wrong person, wrong response. I wish I could delete it, but he read it. It's done. CRAP.

For a moment it says that he's typing, but then the sign quickly retreats. Thoughts pop in my head about what he was going to say, maybe criticizing my idiotic response, but for now I brush it off, sitting back in my chair. I feel the cool of the cushioned chair press against my back as I let out the breath I had held since he shot me a text. Why am I so tense? I'm not sure, but I know that I could place the feeling but the word is far back in my mind, unreachable now.

Jungkook Oppa: You wanna come over tonight? Seokjin's making dinner

I nearly shoot out of my chair. Nervous pins and needles prick my back as I shiver at what seems to be a draft from my window. I wish I could respond with Do I ever! Or Yes of course! But that's weird. Even for me. So I calm my response.

Me: May I? It'd be really nice

Not knowing whether that was too much of a happy go lucky response I keep my eye on our texts to see how he responds, my heart beat quickening every 10 seconds.

Jungkook Oppa: Yeah of course, you know where, right?
Me: Yup!
Jungkook Oppa: See you at 6 then ^_^

I nearly type love you but take my hand back and leave it at read.

6. I'll see you at 6 too.

I'm filled with warmth as a deep smile shows on my lips.

I walk up their porch, letting out a small sigh as my legs ache slightly from the walk over here. I knock lightly on the door and after about a minute, the door opens to see Namjoon's smiling face.

"[Name]-ah, looking lovely as usual." He remarks as he lets me in, taking my coat.

"Thank you, and you look very nice too. Thank you for letting me come over." I say as I wander in.
