Best friends.

2

We had made it to the amusement park and the "teenagers" separated away from the adults so they can go drink at those booth things. We had gone on a lot of rides and we were now in the zoo part of the park. I walked next to Burcin as the boys walked in front of us. The fenced in land filled with flamingos caught my eye since they are one of the prettiest birds here. I walked closer to the fence and watched as one of the flamingos walked by, it's long legs taking long strides. 

I jumped at the sound of Burcin's loud, high pitched scream and quickly turned my head, expecting to see a murder happening or a celebrity. But I just see Burcin running towards the elephants, Jimin pointing towards them, obviously the one to point them out, and his face now full of shock. Jungkook has his hands on his ears and his face full of shock as well. I laugh as the boys look to me with an expression that reads what the hell just happened, is she crazy? 

I walk towards the elephants after I see the boys start to walk towards them. Jungkook turns around to see if I'm accompanying them and I smile tightly when he turns around to wait for me so we can walk together, Jimin already next to Burcin petting the elephants trunk. When I'm next to him, he wraps his arm around my shoulders and pulls me into his side. I tense at first then relax when I realize that he's my best friend, has been since forever, and even though this deal of our will change this forever, I know it will, I can't let that change us now. 

"You okay, babygirl?" Jungkook asks as he looks down at me.

"Yeah." I smile up at him but he furrows his eyebrows. He continues to stare at me even when I look away and towards the elephants we're supposed to be walking to but he stop in his tracks, pulling me to a stop as well. I looked back at him confused, turning my body so I'm facing him now, our bodies not that far apart. 

"Is this about us?" He asks looking down at me concerned.

"Wait what?" I asked shaking my head as if I'm trying to shake the confusion off.

"The deal, Ari. Are you re-thinking it?" He asks as he steps closer and looks down at me. I was up to his nose so he wasn't a giant compared to me, but he still intimidated me.

"No, no I'm not re-thinking it Jungkook. Jeez I wont take away your sex, calm down." I joked but he didn't laugh. "It was a joke, laugh." 

"You were never good at jokes, babygirl." He rolls his eyes and pulls me into a hug. 

"Oh shut up." I say and pull away as I roll my eyes. 

He chuckles softly when I push at his chest, but grabs at my hand that pushed his chest to pull me closer. He wraps his arm around my shoulders again and hugs me close to his chest. "Hug me back then I'll let go." 

"No." I roll my eyes. 

"Then I'm gonna hold you forever."

"Let go of me, kook."

He simply shakes his head and just holds me tighter. 

"Hurry up! I want to see the tigers!" I hear Jimin's voice whine as he and Burcin walk over to us. "Let Arianna go, so we can see the tigers!" He whines and pulls at my arm, that's by my side.

"Not until she hugs me back. Go on without us, We'll catch up."

Jimin gives Jungkook a suggestive look, before pulling Burcin by her arm away. Burcin looks back at me with a wink then turn forward and continues to walk away. 

I sigh and wrap my arms around Jungkook's waist, my face still buried into his chest. "There, I hugged you. Happy?" 

"Not quite. I want you to squeeze me and hug me like you mean it."
