It was a bad idea to spend the night with Jungkook. Only because we ended up falling asleep together on the couch. We were so fortunate to wake up to the guys giggling.

Well, Taehyung and Jimin anyways.
They spoke in Korean so of course I didn't understand but once Jungkook woke up, his face grew red. I was able to presume what they spoke about given the guy's continuous giggles and Jungkook's face.

"Be quiet." Jungkook said in a sleepy voice.

I'm glad he can remember to speak English around me the best he can.

I fully got up and tried to wake myself up. Right away I noticed Min Yoongi wasn't in the room.

Instead of dwelling on the past situation between Jungkook and Yoongi, I headed to Namjoon's room to get my stuff. I took this chance to Skype my friend Alexis for fashion advice.

She answered on the first ring. Not surprising given she knows I'm with the guys.

"Ah! Hello! How are you? How's Jungkook? Have you talked to him? Why haven't you called? Is Taekook real? Oh my god are you married to Suga yet?" she rambled on.

"Chill! Don't speak their stage names or they'll know that I know who they are." I still smiled because it's a shock to me I'm still sharing this house with them.

Alexis chuckled. "Okay, okay. But what's up?"

I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Well I need advice on what to wear. We plan to go to the amusement park today."

My heart fluttered a bit. I can't believe I'm spending so much time with them. It's rather mind-blowing as a matter of fact. But I had to suppress the excitement.

"What?! I swear if you don't confess to Jungkook my love for him I will fly down there and kill you. And also, I suggest those red converse and the 'babygirl' red print, white shirt... ripped jeans as well." she said in all one breath.

I swear I loved her. Alexis was a long time friend. We met at a BTS concert around 4 years ago. Ever since then I realized we had so much in common and we were able to connect not only through our taste in music but also on other levels. It was nice to have a friend like her around. Even distance couldn't keep us apart.

I slipped on the outfit she suggested, (I swear she's a wizard at fashion), and sat for a bit with her. She stopped rambling about the boys surprisingly and we just talked about anything that came to mind.

"No, you threw the cake first and hit your mother not me! You always blame me for that." She spoke in between constant snickers.

"Yes only because you threw it at me first! I only happened to miss you."

"Awe you miss me?"

I stuck my tongue out. "Duh. But not what I meant, silly."

Our conversation was cut out when I heard a knock on the door. Absentmindedly I invited whoever it was, in.

It was Taehyung.

He smiled and looked between me and Alexis on Skype. His face full of light and content.

"Hello. We will leave soon. You ready?" his soft baby voice scrambled through the room. Giving me a sense of comfort and joy.

I sneaked a glance at Alexis - her face completely in shock.
"Oh. Yeah I am."

Just as I was about to close Skype and say my farewells, Alexis spoke up. "Excuse me! Are you not going to introduce me? Who is this?"

Smooth.

I smiled. "Taehyung this is my friend Alexis. Alexis, this is Taehyung." I exchanged pointing from the screen of my phone to Taehyung.

They both greeted each other politely and exchanged hellos. While I observed her face. She was quite astonished by his presence. Not that I can blame her because he is... well, Taehyung. It's not everyday you can see him and be greeted by him let alone Skype with him. It was amazing that she kept her cool, though. It was hard enough for me to do so myself so my admiration for her will to be calm was not diminished.
I had to end the call, however. Given the boys were antsy to go out. Can't blame them, I haven't been out in a while either.

Of course Alexis blew up my phone asking for videos and pictures but with my anxiety, doing so would make me feel queasy. Quite the understatement. But we all get it.

We entered the amusement park and already they were in awe. They've only been to Disneyland once so being able to come to an amusement park again, even if it wasn't Disneyland,  definitely didn't taint their enthusiasm for such scenery.

"This one! This one!" Hoseok demanded we ride the Dragon Ship.

"No. That goes too high. Let's go on the swings." Namjoon suggested.

I scoffed. "The swing one goes much higher than the Dragon one, silly."

He and I chuckled as we all kept walking around. In the end we decided we wanted to eat first. Well, mostly Jungkook and Jimin demanded it since they were starving but I had to admit I was craving funnel cake anyways.

As soon as I ordered one, they all ordered one too. They were curious to what it was and how it tasted. Not only that but the smell reminded them of churros which they've always had a love for. But I can't bring myself to regret the decision of getting one... Even though Jungkook took powder from his cake and wiped it on my cheek.

"Aw man!" I cried as I was about to wipe it off.
That was until he took this chance to wipe it off himself.

With. His. Mouth.

He basically sucked it off. And frankly I couldn't deny the affect it had on me. He turned me on with his tongue technology.
But it was a good thing no one really noticed since I was on the far left of the bench and Jungkook was exactly right of me. It still left me speechless.

Since when did this boy become so forward and confident?

Never mind that. I didn't dare acknowledge it given I felt awkward to begin with.

"Oh! Balloons!" Jimin yelled out as he pointed to a balloon dart pop stand.

The only prizes were giant stuffed bears and cute foam hats. But he insisted on going.
Jimin only played but he won the first time around. Unfortunately he didn't get the big bear he wanted but instead got the foam hat. Instead of him having it, he placed it on my head and looked at me for longer than a second.

"Cute." was all he said and then walked away.

My face flushed at his gesture while I saw Min Yoongi stare him down as he walked past. Jungkook looked around with a blank stare; almost envy I believe. This made me feel a little nauseous. I didn't want to have to deal with these two again and their banter and fighting. Who cares? I'm... me! If anything I'm nothing special and the fact they are so worked up over Jimin's little compliment makes me annoyed and flattered at the same time.
But I didn't say anything. Confrontation isn't my best suit and I didn't want to get them riled up over something so silly than what they already were. I kept the hat on though. Admittedly, it was cute. It was baby blue with a black cats silhouette on it.

We went on a few more rides until it got dark. I noticed on our way back to the car that Jungkook was trying to hold my hand and get close. But each time I moved my hand slightly farther away. This made him a little upset.

Then he was really upset when he saw Taehyung come up to me and lock hands with me. It was adorable nonetheless. But I felt bad for pushing Jungkook away. I knew what Taehyung and I had was strictly friendship related that's why I allowed all he did. But with Jungkook, I couldn't let us get that kind of close.
I don't know why I didn't want to. I just didn't. As gorgeous as he was and as kindhearted he was... I still refused this idea.

Being with the boys, it was all overwhelming and oddly quick paced. Yoongi and Jungkook were aiming for my lustful attention. Taehyung wanted my complete friendship. The rest just wanted to be around me all the time. As noted; very overwhelming.

I stayed around them though. As packed as it is, I still liked them.

That, I couldn't deny.
