Kiss Me, Jungkook:

When I First Met You

Earlier that day

"Jackson? Why are you here? Again?"

When I went downstairs to get a drink from the store, I saw Jackson sitting by the table near the window.

"So, you're graduation is tomorrow?" He asked.

"Yeah, why are you here?" I looked at him weirdly.

"I came here because I know you just came back from China." He stood up and started walking towards me.

"How'd you know my graduation is tomorrow?" I crossed my arms and stepped away from him.

"Because your mom told me so." He said.

"Is there something you want?"

"You." He grinned and laughed.

"When did that line became so famous?" I mumbled to myself before joining him laugh.

"Actually, I want to have lunch with you."

"Fine."

...

Jackson was getting used to coming to my house and casually ask me to go places with him and I don't even know why I'm letting him. I shouldn't be fooling with Jackson when I have Jungkook on my plate, that would be so selfish. And I know, I am selfish.

"Thanks for the meal." I said. He nodded and took a step forward.

"It's always a pleasure to spend time with you." He said pushing my hair behind my ear and suddenly he gave me a hug.

"I hope you take this as a sign that I like you Sora." He said. I pushed him back because I was shocked at what he said.

"What?" He suddenly pushed his face against mine thus, our lips touched and my breath hitched.

This kiss, can it be? Was this it?

"I need to go." I pushed him and ran inside.

If that was the kiss, then can I possibly live my life peacefully now?

...

A few minutes after I got inside the store, I heard the bell ring therefore someone came in and my head instantly shifted to the door. I saw Jungkook walking in with his head down and hands inside his pockets.

"Hey!" I walked up to him with a smile. He looked at me and smiled back, he used his hand to pushed my hair from my face.

"How's your day?"

"Fine, where have you been?" I held his hand and instantly felt something.

Was that kiss enough? Can I tell Jungkook everything now? Can I like him freely without thinking about the possible consequences? Can I love him now?

"I was at my apartment, wanna have lunch together?" He asked.

"I already had lunch, though." I said.

"Oh, okay." He nodded while looking around the store.

I can't. Even if I think about the kiss and if I did it or not, I can't tell Jungkook about the curse, I just can't but my heart ached so much.

...

That night when I was walking to my room, my head was suddenly spinning. I don't understand, what just happened? Can Jackson actually lift this curse? He kissed me right? Isn't that enough?

"That kiss." My mind replayed the scene over and over again but my heart didn't feel anything after that.

I'll just have to cut all my connection with Jackson at all costs.

...

Today was the day. Our graduation ceremony was only the ceremony I have ever attended that I didn't complain not even once. As of now, nothing bad has happened to me while getting ready which made me a little scared. My mind floated while mom talked to me about the possibilities of what might happen if I don't kiss anyone before the ceremony.

"Jackson and I kissed." I said.

"When?" She asked.

"Yesterday." I said.

"Why didn't you tell me? Have you guys talked after that?" I shook my head.

Apparently my mom was only worried about the curse, she didn't care if I was humiliated in front of everyone or ruined my reputation, as long as I remove the curse, everything will be alright.

It's better this way, Jungkook shouldn't be involved in this if I cared about him, it's safer for him.

block jackson?

yes or no

joon:

you:

When the ceremony started I was beginning to feel anxious and scared. I was afraid of going up that stage and practically falling off of it or worst I could break my leg before I even step on the stage.

I was so nervous that nothing has happened before I came here and I wasn't used to these kind of situations, it was driving me crazy.

"Are you okay?" Kimsu came up to me with a worried look on her face.

"You look pale."

"I'm fine." I swallowed and avoided contact with Kimsu. I focused on the ceremony and thought about good things.

...

"Jungkook!"

Kimsu ran towards me while I was preparing to go up the stage. I raised my brow at the panting girl in front of me. What's going on?

"What is it? I'm about to go on stage." I said.

"Sora, she fainted come help her." Kimsu pulled me towards their seats where I saw Sora on the floor.

I was about to help her but something came to my mind and made me think twice. I was thinking about different things, thoughts that never really sink into my mind. Those thoughts were suddenly taking over me and I stood there looking at her, the girl I like, and now I was thinking if I really do like her and if she really deserves to be helped.

Was she in pain? Or was I the one in pain?

I froze and shut my eyes, I suddenly opened my eyes and I was already walking back to the stage with Kimsu yelling at me from behind.

Why am I doing this? I'm so stupid.
