JUNGKOOK'S POV:

I was cleaning up at the restaurant after I had just closed it when I heard a knock on the glass door. I looked up and I saw none other than Taehyung looking in and waving as he gave his boxy smile.

I giggled and went to open up the door.

"You know that we're closed right?"

"I know, but I still wanted to have some ramen. I figured you'd make an exception for your favorite customer."

"I guess, but you owe me, Kim Taehyung."

"Owe you what?" he smirked.

I blushed and began walking to the kitchen to make his ramen, "I'll figure something out."

After I'd finished making him the ramen I brought it out to him and sat at the booth across from him. He ate his noodles as I sat across from him, watching him.

"What are you looking at?" he chuckled.

I looked down and started playing with my hands as I realized I was staring at him, "Uh, sorry I didn't mean to... how are your noodles?" I asked changing the subject.

"Delicious as always," he answered.

"Good," I smiled.

He finished his bowl of noodles and said, "Well, what do I owe you?"

"You're gonna have to buy me dinner sometime," I replied.

"You mean like a date?" he raised his eyebrows.

"What? No! I mean, like, just get me pizza or something. I like food," I said nervously.

He laughed, "Now now Kookie, don't get flustered."

"I'm not flustered!"

"Sure you aren't," he said sarcastically. "So it's a date then."

"It's a date," I said. "Wait, no, only if you want, I mean, it's okay with me I just-"

"Jungkook," he cut me off. "Chill out. I wanna go on a date with you."

I blushed uncontrollably, "Okay."

"We should go now," he suggested.

"Now? But you just ate!"

"I know. I'm still hungry."

"Fine, just let me finish cleaning up."

-

"So you just want pizza?" Taehyung asked as we left the restaurant.

"Yeah, pizza's the best," I said smiling.

"We should go back to my apartment and order instead of going out," he suggested. "Is that okay with you?"

My eyes widened at the thought of being alone with Taehyung at his apartment, "Yeah, that's fine."

He smiled, "Okay."

-

We arrived at Taehyung's apartment and he sat on his couch so I sat next to him, feeling awkward. He already ordered the pizza on the way there so now they were just waiting.

"Do you wanna play Mario Kart?" Taehyung asked, breaking the uncomfortable silence.

"Sure," I responded quickly.

He started up the game and we picked our characters.

"Are you really choosing to play as Peach, Jungkook?" Taehyung asked chuckling.

"Shut up, it's my signature character when I play Mario Kart."

"Alright I don't judge."

He picked Mario after seeing that I picked Peach, "Now I can save you, princess," he joked.

I blushed, "Oh my god, shut up."

We started the race and it got really intense because were both really serious about Mario Kart. Taehyung was in first and I got a blue shell and I mercilessly sent it his way.

"You hoe!" he screamed. "I'm in 5th place now!"

I laughed as I passed him, "Oops, didn't realize you were in first."

"You're going to tear this friendship apart Jeon Jungkook!"

"That's what Mario Kart is supposed to do if you're playing it right."

Even though he got sent back, Taehyung still managed to get ahead of me.

"Are you cheating? What kind of bullshit is this?"

"It's all skill, Kookie. It's all skill."

I was right behind him and I managed to get a red shell and threw it straight at him, overtaking him.

"What the hell!" he yelled out of frustration. He put his controller down and started reaching for my controller to mess me up but I held it out of his reach. He then began to tickle my sides until I was uncontrollably laughing.

"Stop Hyung!" I yelled as I laughed. "I can't breathe."

I fell off of the couch and onto the ground and he suddenly ended up on top of me. He stopped tickling me and looked straight into my eyes and then down to my lips. He began leaning down closer to my face and just as our lips were about to meet, we heard the doorbell ring.

He pulled away quickly and coughed nervously, "Looks like the pizza's here." He got off of me and went to get the pizza, leaving me laying on the ground.

"Goddamn you Papa Johns," I muttered under my breath.
