"These fries are way too addictive."
And you were munching them and throwing more in your mouth faster than you thought humanly possible.

"Yep, they are. This place opened after you... After you left." Jungkook looked up at you and smiled.

You had sent a text back to your lunchies group (just you, Minah, Jungkook, Taehyung and Jimin) in a show of good faith that you had learnt to never leave without saying something again.

Then you climbed some walls and hopped over fences and skipped school. Okay, technically, there was only one fence/wall, and there was a ladder. And Jungkook carried the bags. Like the good old times.

Jungkook took you to this new cafe a few blocks away from school, walking maybe 20 minutes. The fries were amazing.

"You'd better be inviting me here a lot, Jeon," you grinned back at him.

"Will do," he said quietly, looking deep-in-thought for a moment.
"Have you worked out why yet?"

"Why what?" Okay, maybe you knew exactly what he way talking about, but better pretend to be clueless.

"Why you didn't tell me."

"Jungkook, you can't just expect me to achieve sudden enlightenment within a week! I've been puzzling over it for half a year!" you exclaimed, exasperated.

"Well, fine then."

You took it down a notch. "I don't know," suddenly talking softly, "I think I just cared more."

He cocked his head and smiled, "I think I like that answer."

You heart was hit with some sudden affliction and thudded hard in your chest. Uh no, missy, this be your best friend who just be teasing your shit. No falling for a best friend of 9 years.

So you smirked back and said, "Oh, did you?"

And he sure as hell looked like he did.
