Jungkook's POV

"You what?!" Jimin screeched as Yuna chuckled. "This is not a funny manner."

"You're always making me laugh with your reactions though, how can I not?" Yuna punches Jimin's arm lightly.

"Yuna.." Jimin rubs his forehead in frustration. "I knew something was off about your competition."

"Nothing was off about it! All I did was do my trick in mid-air a bit.. slower than usual." Yuna forms a grin.

"You failed your competition so that you could lure me out! Imagine if I wasn't there! Then what would be the use of doing that?" Jimin reasoned in a high-toned manner.

"I just wanted to see you." Yuna shrugged nonchalantly. "It's not a big deal. I wanted to see you, and I got you to stay. And you can't leave either."

Yuna wraps her arms tightly around his arm, as Jimin's face became a light peach pink.

Glancing over to me, he lets out a small sigh, lightly pushing Yuna off his arm.

"Okay I got it." Jimin ruffled Yuna's hair.

I smiled lightly, seeing that Yuna was back and brighter than ever before. It was as if whatever happened with Jimin just didn't happen at all.

I didn't want to be involved in Yuna and Jimin's relationship. They're very close, compared to me with Yuna. How could I ever think that it could happen?

Me and Yuna together? I must live a fantasy life.

But I'm also glad Jimin is back. He's talking a lot more, smiling widely when he's around us. There's just one thing about him that's changed.

He's acting more.. mature?

More aware in a sense.

As if Jimin knows I like Yuna, he would frequently give me glances whenever Yuna playfully grabbed his arm or hugged him and shrug her off.

The part that bothers me isn't really the contact they'd have, it was more to why he'd give me these glances.

Ever since Jimin came back, I never got the courage to ask him where he went.

I didn't want to bring it up.

What if he ran off again? As long as I don't say or do anything, I should be fine. Nothing like this will happen again. I won't make it happen.

"Earth to Jungkook?" Yuna waved her hands in front of me as I blinked a few times.

"Oh.. ah yes! Yeah! What happened?"

"You doing okay?" I glance briefly to the both of them.

"Yeah."

"Good because we are going to have a competition to see who can eat the most instant noodles." Yuna's eyes sparkle up before she gives me a look.

"What's with that expression?" Yuna asks, raising her eyebrow.

"I mean aren't you usually against me eating instant noodles—"

"Let's go!!" Yuna grabs my arm, following with Jimin's arm, and runs off to the convenience store.

-

"Ah.. that was fun." Yuna smiles in victory as I rub my aching stomach.

"How can you eat that much? Do you just secretly eat these all the time?" I raise my eyebrows.

"We'd have eating competitions all the time, and I never won one." Jimin adds, amused at Yuna's reaction, as I was completely puzzled.

"Wah.. daebak." I mumbled.

"Yah! Stop making me sound like a pig! I'm just better at eating than you guys!" Yuna nudges Jimin's arm.

"Hey! I wasn't the only one who sounded like that! Nudge Jungkook's arm too!" Jimin pouts as I slowly back away from Yuna before she could hit me.

"Jungkook didn't tease me about it like you!" Yuna argued. "If you do that again I swear you'll have another coming right at you!"

"Okay okay I'm sorry." Jimin quickly surrenders.

"Ah shoot.." Jimin glances at his phone. "I have to be somewhere. Jungkook, can you take Yuna home?"

"Yeah, of course." I answered as Yuna gave him a face.

"I'll see you guys later." Jimin waves before walking off.

"So.. let's get going?" Yuna asks as I turn to her and nod.

"So.. you really did fall on purpose? Because of Jimin?" I asked as she bites her lip.

"Yeah." Yuna answers.

"But how could you just do that? How are you able to accept the rude comments and criticisms that others say about you just by making one mistake? You could've won." Yuna glanced over to me.

"And if you knew that your incident was going to get Jimin to come out; if you knew that he was going to be there, why didn't you just tell me?"

"Jungkook.." Yuna sighed. "It was a manner that I wanted to take into my own hands."

"To the point where you lost the competition? Yuna—"

"Sacrifices can be made, Jungkook." Yuna states with a gleam in her eye. "A mere competition that I lost isn't going to kill me."

Seeing my speechless reaction, Yuna quickly speaks.

"Hey, it's not that I don't trust you! It's just—"

"Yuna, do you know how worried I was when you fell in the rink?" I bursted, making Yuna stop in her tracks. "I was so worried that you got hurt, physically and mentally."

"I wanted to scream your name; encourage you to stand back up and stand strong." I took my gaze to the floor. "You were doing so amazing, and when I saw you fall, I was just.. shocked."

"Jungkook," She began with a wide smile. "Thank you for worrying about me."

"It really means a lot to me that you care. I'm also sorry that you felt that way."

Wrapping her arms around my neck, I tightly hold her with my arms around her waist.

"By the way, I saw you gawking at me with your mouth wide open!" Yuna's breath tickled against my neck as my face flushed.

"You were just that amazing." I answered as Yuna suddenly buries her face into my chest.

"W-What's wrong?" I asked as her arms around my neck stiffen.

"My face." Yuna answered.

"What do you mean? There's nothing wrong with your face, you look amazing—"

"Yes there is something wrong!" Yuna barked.

"Let me see then."

"No!"

"Why?"

"Because I'm blushing you idiot." Yuna replied in a low tone.

"Oh.." My mouth formed a smirk. "I mean.. it's true that you're breathtaking, talented, beautiful—"

"You better stop!" Yuna growls, still buried under my chest.

"Why should I?" I asked, amused with teasing her. "The list is endless, why wouldn't I continue?"

"Or else."

"Or else what?" I taunted her. "Yuna, the one and only woman—"

Before I continued, Yuna softly pecked my cheek.

"Look who's blushing now." She chuckles, holding eye contact. "I dare you to finish that sentence."

"With pleasure." I winked, pecking her lips and gazing into her eyes. "Yuna, the one and only woman who.."

"Stole my heart."
