Chapter 19

Namjoon POV

"Kookie! Namjoon hyung!" Taehyung cheers as we meet up with them outside the fair the next day. I give the two boys a small smile while Jungkook grins and waves at them.

"Hi, hyungs! We ready to ride some rides?!" Jungkook cheers excitedly.

"Fuck no. Imma go play games while you guys do that shit. You know I don't do rides, Kookie." The guy I'm assuming to be Hoseok says with a frown, shaking his head. He's the same one who had shown up at the apartment the other day with Tae when Jungkook ran off to the park.

"Okay, okay, hyung." Jungkook chuckles before Hoseok walks off.

"Are we ready to go then?" Jungkook asks, looking between Taehyung and me. I give him a small smile and nod whilst Taehyung is a little more enthusiastic.

With that, we head off and start riding a bunch of rides. We probably end up going through about half of the rides here before the two of them decide to take a break to find Hoseok and maybe get food or play games.

Though, while the two of them had loads of fun with the rides, I'd been a little more preoccupied with keeping an eye on Jungkook. After Jin hyung came over and spoke with Jungkook last night, it's begun to make me wonder just how well he's really actually doing.

Just as Jin had said, he hides everything really well and you would never be able to tell that there's a single thing wrong in his life. That it isn't completely picture perfect.

"Ooh! Do you guys see that giant teddy bear?!" Taehyung exclaims as we're all walking through the games section of the fair after having met up with Hoseok. Hoseok chuckles at the younger boy though, ruffling his hair before walking away over to the game that Taehyung had been pointing at with the giant bear.

Taehyung begins jumping up and down excitedly as he realizes what Hoseok's doing before rushing over to the older boy. Jungkook merely chuckles at the two of them.

"If it weren't for the fact that I know Hoseok hyung has a girlfriend, I would easily mistake them to be dating." He mutters with a smile as he watches the two. I smile as well, nodding my head.

Keeping an eye on Jungkook, I notice him look around curiously at the different games around us as we wait for the other two. Though, as he glances over at a certain game, I catch his eyes widen just the tiniest bit before returning to a normal size while he looks away from it back over to the other two. Watching him, he doesn't return his gaze back to the game, though I had caught sight of which one it was.

Smiling down at my feet as an idea comes to mind, I look back up over at the game. Glancing one last time at Jungkook, I begin to make my way over to the game he'd had his eye on. The only issue is that I don't know which prize he wants...

"Woah, hyung! That was really good." Jungkook compliments as he suddenly appears by my side just as I'm finishing up the game and winning.

"Congrats! What prize would you like?" The woman working the game booth smiles at me. However, I look over at Jungkook.

"Which prize do you want?" I ask him, smiling a bit as I see his surprised expression form on his face.

"Wha-How- Uhh... The dog one..." He mumbles, a cute blush creeping up on his cheeks.

"We'll take that one." I answer with a smile, pointing to the biggest stuffed dog they have. She smiles at us, nodding her head as she gets it down for us.

"You two are really cute together." She says with a smile as she hands me the dog before walking back to her seat, not giving either of us a chance to explain that we aren't actually together.

Handing Jungkook the stuffed dog, his eyes widen once again as he takes it before we start walking back to where Taehyung and Hoseok are now waiting for us.

"You didn't have to get the biggest one, hyung. You didn't have to do that at all..." Jungkook says softly, still blushing. I just chuckle in response.

"But I wanted to." I tell him with a shrug. Pausing before we reach the other two, Jungkook looks over at me with a curious look.

"How'd you know I wanted one of the prizes from over there, hyung? I didn't even say anything." He questions quietly, tilting his head to the side in confusion. I smile, rubbing the back of my neck nervously.

"I noticed you looking over in that direction and kinda looked like you wanted something before you looked away again. I just didn't know which one you wanted since you didn't say anything." I admit. He looks down at the stuffed animal in his hands, the blush on his cheeks deepening in color a bit.

"Thank you, hyung." He says softly before beginning to walk back to the boys again.

After that, we all decide upon getting some food and then doing the Ferris wheel before calling it a night here. At this point, Taehyung seems extremely happy as he carries the giant teddy bear in his arms, Hoseok having also agreed to do the Ferris wheel since it wasn't a scary ride.

Soon enough, we end up on the ride and it begins going up, stopping for a bit before we climb one cart distance higher. Taehyung and Hoseok are in the cart before us, while Jungkook and I are together.

"I hope you had some fun today, hyung. I know you weren't super keen on the idea of coming here." Jungkook says with a small smile as he looks over at me. We're sat across from each other since the carts each fit one person on each side.

"I did have fun, Jungkook. I appreciate you not having pushed me to agree though, even though you wanted to come anyways." I tell him, a small smile on my face as well.

"Of course, hyung. I don't wanna push you to do things that'll make you uncomfortable. As long as you're taking things one step at a time, no matter what the pace for what it is, that's all that matters. I'm glad you had fun today." He explains happily.

A silence forms between us once again as we slowly reach higher and higher on the wheel. As I look around, I realize that it's actually a fairly clear night and we can actually see the moon too, causing me to smile.

"Woah, we're so high up." Jungkook grins as we finally reach the top, looking down below us. I chuckle at his adorableness, causing him to look back up at me.

I don't know what comes over me as I look over at Jungkook, biting my lower lip lightly. His smile decreases a little bit, though he still seems just as happy as before.

Not entirely realizing my actions yet, I gently move to the edge of my seat with Jungkook mimicking my movements just seconds later as he tilts his head to the side once again, still smiling. At this point, we're close enough that our knees are in between each other's, though I don't think either one of us really cares or notices.

Before I can even think about what I'm doing or the consequences of my actions, I find myself leaning over and pressing my lips against his...
