Started With A Dare

Tzuyu's POV

JM: Hmm... When you see him, I mean Jungkook... Is there something strange you feel inside you?

Huh?

TY: Wh... What? What do you mean?

JM: A different sensation in you that you don't usually feel when you see other people or boys, just when you see him?

I gulped staring down at my feet.

JM: Or something new? Does it feel quite different whenever you see him now than before?

I lowered my head.

JM: Do you feel like you're always wanting to see him more often? Do you feel flushed whenever you see him? Do you just want to look at him but you get too tensed when he looks back at you?

I lowered my head even lower.

All the things he said... They were true... Is he a genius? Or has he experienced this every time?

He smiled at me as I bent my head lower and lower while holding the store bought things.

JM: Right? Thought so...

TY: H-How do you know all these?

JM: I feel it every time... Every time I see this girl... She's so captivating... When I'm with her, it feels like the world was only made up of me and her.
Ah... Never mind, just stupid thoughts...

Stupid... Thoughts?

TY: Oppa... You like Dahyun!

He looked at me with shock in his face. His face suddenly reddened and his eyes widened at me.

JM: h-how'd you know?

He murmured.

TY: You think it's not obvious?! Just the way you look at her makes it so obvious, it's just like the things you said... Your heart flutters when you're with that special someone...

JM: right...

TY: Go for it! We've all seen how she looks back at you! Ask her out already!

JM: Nah that can't happen... I don't know how she'd react when she'll see the real me...

TY: Oh come on! Dahyun unnie is also a totally different person at home! She has two personalities!

JM: Ah... That's not it....

TY: Then what is it?!

JM: Ah... We're here...

We both stopped and stared at the stairs leading to the entrance in the hospital. I set foot on the first step of the stairs and my other foot followed. Jimin oppa just stayed quiet down there for a while.

TY: Oppa, wha-

JM: Ah... I-I'll just quickly follow after, just have to stop by somewhere again, see you there..

Jimin oppa rushed towards the other direction to who knows where. I slowly stepped up the stairs and went in. I took the elevator to the floor where Jungkook's room was and I headed to his room carrying all the things I bought.

I entered and no one but Jungkook was there.

TY: uhm...

I took a step forward nearer to the couch we were sitting in a while ago and realised that Jungkook was actually asleep. I sat down at the couch, not knowing what I should do next. I looked around the room, trying to avoid the sight of Jungkook sleeping on the hospital bed.

I gave up and just let my eyes fall on sleeping Jungkook, he wouldn't know, he's asleep for goodness sake! So I started staring at him again...

As I stared more, I started spotting flaws in him. I saw a not so obvious scar on his cheek that was usually covered over by makeup. Well, curiousity killed the cat, curiousity also seemed to have killed me.

Without realising, I suddenly got up from my seat and approached the bed, staring even harder at the scar on his cheek. I put my hand on the bed as I looked even closer at his face.

Suddenly, I felt his hand crawl over mine after I layed it on the bed. I was shocked of course, who wouldn't be? I was too shocked and flustered to move my hand away.

TY: ah... Uhm...

JK: I'm sorry but.... Can we just.... Stay like this?.... For a while...

I could feel the heat rushing into my cheeks, I was blushing tremendously and I just know it. I get flushed real easily and it normally doesn't feel good... But this time... It feels okay...

Jungkook slowly opened his eyes and his eyes were staring right back at mine. I blinked rapidly as I felt my heart flutter, and the butterflies in my stomach were rambling everywhere... What is this?

I suddenly tensed and looked away, I am definitely blushing. But I suddenly forgot all my thoughts and feelings when I felt his hand shaking. I saw him gulp, he was probably scared... I don't know... What to say to him...

TY: A-Are you okay? What's... Wrong?

JK: I don't know... Either.... I just collapsed, just like that!

I can hear the shakiness of his voice and I could feel his fear in that sentence. And then, awkwardness filled the room. I looked around the room, still trying to avoid eye contact.

JK: Tzuyu....

I looked at him. His big brown eyes were staring straight back at mine, I could feel my eyes widen at the sight of his dilated pupils.

They say that once you look at something you like, your pupils become bigger.

I could definitley feel my eyes widening, I could feel my heart fluttering, the sensation this sudden mood was creating many k-drama scenarios in my head that is killing me and making me shake like crazy inside. But beyond all of this, I felt happy.

I was happy that he was talking to me, that I had a chance to become friends with him, that I have a chance to hang out with him, that I met a person like him. It made me happy and happier...

I blinked suddenly and came back to reality, remembering that I was staring at him and he has something to say...

JK: It hurts...

TY: U-Uhm... Do you want me to get you some meds or so-

JK: Can we just... Stay like this for a while?

Wh-What?!
