Ch. Twenty-Three

Taehyung's POV

  I held the fresh red rose in my hand, ready to ask the question I had in the back of my mind for the past few months. I talked to Jungkook's mom, and she was the sweetest person ever. She picked a fresh rose from her garden for me to give to Jungkook— which was really odd.

  As soon as I got to the school, I stood up straight and fixed my hair. I had never really asked someone out on a date before, but I sure as hell was about to do it today. No more toying with girls. No more being rude and mean.

  Seokjin had been begging me to be a better person like I said I was trying to be before.

  I walked up to Jungkook with a forced timid smile and he looked back at me weirdly.

  "Are you asking me to prom?" He joked. I rolled my eyes and held out the rose to him.

  "Not yet." I stood in front of him and relaxed a bit as he took the rose. "I'm asking you if you'd like to.. perhaps.. go on a date with me..?"

  I closed my eyes tightly and waited for an answer from him. Jungkook's hand reached up to my cheek and pinched it. "Of course." He said, causing my eyes to flutter open.

  "Wait- really?" I smiled a boxy smile at him. He gave me a smile in return and rubbed my arm comfortingly. "You expected me to say no to you?" He questioned worriedly.

  "Oh.. I'm sorry, do you even want to?" I asked him with a laugh to brush off my weirdness.

  "Of course. I like you.." Jungkook reached up and placed a kiss on my cheek as he held the rose behind his back. "Also.. I'm sorry for blocking your number." He smiled weakly.

  I furrowed my eyebrows and tilted my head. Did I just hear him right? "When did I ever get your number?" I asked him curiously.

  He kind of just looked at me and put his fingers in the bridge of his nose, between his eyes. Jin started laughing at us, but I still didn't understand what was going on.

  "Nevermind, Tae." Jungkook smiled.

  "What's going on?" I asked with a frown.

  Jungkook looked at the ground to hide his smile and shook his head. "It's seriously a good thing that you're cute, Taehyungie." He said.

  He took out his phone and scrolled through it, then flipped it around to show me some messages. I furrowed my eyebrows once I realized where most of the messages were coming from. "Wait a minute.."

  My mouth slung open and my heart sped up. "That was you?" Everything started making sense as I recalled all of the messages.

  I literally told him I liked him.. and I even talked about him TO him?? What kind of shit-

  "Surprise." Jungkook smiled his bunny teeth at me. He giggled adorably as he looked at me with his Bambi eyes. "I'm sorry." He laughed.

  I shook my head and smiled with him.

  "It's okay, Brat." I rolled my eyes.
