[Chapter 25] "It's a date then!"

"Do you want me to kiss you again?"

My eyes turn large and my cheeks start burning. I look away and Taehyung starts giggling.

"Stop!"I say.

"Okay,"he gives a goofy smile.

"Also, Jennie will you come to the party along with me? It's on this weekend. Remember the one Hoseok hyung mentioned?" He asks.

"Okay," I say. Not like I had anything to do this weekend. Though I had made plans with Lisa at first she had messaged me earlier that she wouldn't be able to come so I guess I'll just go along with him then.

"It's a date then!" He chuckles.

"A date? To a party?" I scrunch my nose.

"Yes! It's your first date too isn't it?" He giggles.

"No," I deny and I rush to my room. Locking the door behind me I press my cold palms against my burning cheeks.

Switching off the lights I go to bed.
But well I couldn't really get a good night's sleep. My thoughts seemed to only linger around Taehyung. I would start of by thinking of something random but my thoughts circled back to him.

Though I was concerned over the fact that if the police actually came in search of me would I be able to get away? That I din't know.

A little portion of me wanted to run back and scream at that woman that neither I nor Jungkook would return but I din't have the willpower to do it.

For now all I had to do was enjoy whatever I am gifted with and with that in mind I drifted off into dreamland.

I woke up in cold sweat. My fingers trembling from holding on to the sheets. I try to calm myself as my breathing slows down. Did I have a nightmare? I couldn't remember a thing. The only thing I knew was that I was crying. I wipe the tears as I stare at the reflection of my messy self on the mirror ahead of me.

Why was I crying? I din't know why but somehow it all lingered around the same topic. I needed to get out of this place. I need to calm myself. I climb out of bed and head to Jungkook's room. I notice that it was almost 2:00am.

I knock on the door to his room and when I don't hear an reply I push the door open. Jungkook seems sound asleep and so not to disturb him I walk away. Taehyung! Let's just say that the idea popped into my head. I had no idea why I was knocking on the door to his room at two in the morning but well I had walked up till here I might as well just check if he was awake.

When I hear no reply I try to go back but the place reminds me of the nightmare and so I open the door. There, Taehyung sits in the ground with the same 'Pandora's box' and I think I see him smiling.

His head turns immediately towards me and his eyes turn large as he closes the box immediately and fidles with the lock. Once he is done securing the box he looks up at me, "What are you doing here at this time?" He asks.

"Uh sightseeing?" I say, sarcasm lacing around my words.

He gives me a please-stop-it look and I continue to attack him with questions.

"Why are you up and what's in that box?" I look behind him to see the box placed safely on his bed.

"Uh nothing but anyways why are you up at this hour?" He whispers.

"I had a nightmare," I mutter.

He walks towards me and I notice his steps getting faster as he shuts my mouth with one palm and pulls me inside his room shutting the door behind.

"What the fuck?!?" My voice comes out muffled.

"Jungkook! I saw his room's door opening,"he whispers.

He doesn't remove his palm and I raise an eyebrow.

"What would he think when he sees you outside my room...,"he glances at the clock, "at two in the morning? Also looking like that,"He smirks.

Shit! My cheeks start burning and I realize that only a little space is left between us. Well I do look messy which means my hair is sticking out in every direction possible. I comb my hair using my fingers; a fail attempt to keep them down.

"and what good is if he sees me inside your room?!?'I mumble.

He gives me and exasperated look and drops his hands and moves a little away from me.

He slowly peeks outside and he turns back around immediately and closes the door, "Why is this kid up at this hour?" He whispers.

"He was sleeping when I checked on him," I say.

"Maybe he wants water or something," I say.

"Yea he'll probably leave in a few minutes," Taehyung whispers.

Who knew that Jungkook had planned on staying up for longer than we had estimated. Why was he playing video games at this hour? Is he serious? Wasn't he sleeping? If I wasn't in this situation I would have walked up to him and would have beaten some sense into his walnut sized brain.
