He was still sat in his seat at the table, with his body half-turned so he was facing you, and your wrist still loosely held in his right hand.

You mentally stumbled over his words. Best friend...? "Y-yeah, of course."

He looked up from your hand to your face and right into your eyes. They were wide open. "But why do I feel all these weird emotions? Why do I get all these feelings when I see you?"

You looked flabbergasted. Yes, that was it. To your credit, this was Jungkook. Your childhood friend of seven years?

He continued on without considering your thoughts (naturally), "And when I see you act friendly around hyung I get jealous! You did not know how relieved I was to hear that hyung already had Eunjeong-noona. What are you doing to me?"

Still frozen in your spot, you tugged a little on your wrist and he let go immediately. "Sorry," he said.

Guilty. "No, Jungkook... I should be. Because... I feel the same way too."

A slip of the tongue, and the bomb just dropped. Just like that.

Now he stared at you. With those intense eyes. "What?"

"Ugh, Jeon Jungkook! Don't make me repeat myself! I like you, okay?" A grin had started to form on his face. It was threatening to form on yours.

"You like me?" Okay, full-blown grin now. Come on, there's bound to be some way to resist that.

You chose to roll your eyes. "Yes, I do."

"What did you say?" A bit of a smirk now.

"Jeon Jungkook, I fucking like you! But I swear to God if you don't stop I'll kick your balls off!" I bursted.

He stood up and wrapped his taller form around me, clutching my head to his neck. It was warm.

And as usual, Jeon Jungkook had to ruin the moment.

"Ew, you smell like salt."
