8: Time is Ticking

Jungkook held onto my hand the whole time walking to the Coex Aquarium and I was almost surprised on how my hands weren't sweating.

When we bought tickets to get in, he still didn't let go and he still held onto it as we looked at the fish inside the place.

I had to clear my throat and say, "Ehemmm, ummm, you can let go now, we're not on the streets anymore."

He immediately looked at me and said, "Oh I'm sorry."

"Nah, it's okay", I said and he chuckled in embarrassment and looked at the fish then he said, "You know the last time I've been here was when I was three and now it looks so different."

"Well, I guess it's new for the both of us", I said as he scooted closer which I immediately noticed making my cheeks warm up.

"Hey I know this is straightforward but I can still see your beautiful face even under the dim lights", he said and I looked at him and saw that he was being genuine with the look in his eyes.

It was so hard to not fall hard for him right now, I just looked at him as if I was put in a trance but I didn't want him to think I immediately liked him back.

I immediately said, "Bold of you to say when I've only met you just a little over two hour ago."

"My lips are made to tell the truth, no matter how bitter and sweet it is", Jungkook said and most definitely he wasn't lying.

At that moment, in detail, I remembered how he rejected me on Valentine's just yesterday and how it hit hard. He didn't spare an ounce of truth when he told me that he just wasn't attracted to me.

The memory instantly killed my mood but I didn't want him to question my sudden sourness so I looked at the fish and said, "Isn't it weird that there are many sea creatures here that are named things that they don't even look like."

"That was really random, but please do expound", Jungkook said and I pointed at a fish and said, "I mean look at this angelfish, it doesn't look like an angel but it's called one."

"I have a question", Jungkook said and I said, "Fire away."

"Does anyone call you angel?", he asked and I shook my head and said, "Nope."

"That's weird", he said, "You're an odd type of species."

"Looks like an angel but isn't called one", he wittingly said and I immediately looked away to hide my cheeks that were immediately turning red.

"Don't look away", he said and I shook my head making him turn me around and the sudden motion pulled our bodies near to each other to where our noses touched.

At that moment, my heart started beating fast and we were just staring at each other until I moved backwards and started looking at the fish again.

Well that was awkward.

*********************

I left Jiyeon with Jungkook because even though he was mean to her at school, I know her and I know that she still likes him.

She can be strong and she acts tough all the time but I know she has a soft spot for the boy.

Regardless, I needed to go somewhere too.

I wanted to see Naeun.

Since I've liked her for a while, I know where she always goes during the weekends.

Naeun is different, she's never online in the weekends and I know why.
