27 | a little talk

Jisoo laid still on the bed, hair sprawled out on the sheets as her she stared blankly at the ceiling. It had been a few days since the date yet she still couldn't get over the fact that she has indeed fallen for Jeon Jungkook. The female lets out a groan of frustration all of the sudden, curling up her body before turning to the left side of her bed.

She knew she shouldn't have these feelings for him; it would get in the way of work, and if you include the fact that they are only in a fake relationship, then that gives her more reason to try and abandon the feelings she holds. "I don't like this..."—She pouts—"It's not fair... Dear Lord, why him?"

"I hear a damsel in distress."

Jisoo turned her head to see Lisa, leaning against the doorway, arms crossed as she looks at her with a smug smile. "Is this about Jungkook?" She asks, letting herself in as she walks up to the side of Jisoo's bed.

The female doesn't reply, instead she picks up a pillow from the top right side of her bed and snuggles it into her chest before rolling away from Lisa. Though there was no verbal response, the younger took it as an affirmative sign that Jisoo was indeed in distress because of Jungkook. She sighed before lying down beside the older, "You can talk to me, you know? Me and the girls will always be here for you."

That sentence alone warmed Jisoo's heart. For these past few days, she had been bottling up her feelings as she continues to try and sort it out herself; but no matter how many times she has tossed and turned on her bed, it wasn't going to work. The female knew that she needed outside help, and perhaps it was time to open up.

Jisoo slowly turns to face Lisa, who was staring at the ceiling, awaiting for her to respond to her offer. The older sighs, "I don't know... Lisa."—She then rolls over to the younger, slowly wrapping her arms around the girl's torso—"I don't know what to do..." She mumbled.

"But you like him, right?"

The very question awakened the butterflies in Jisoo's stomach. Her heart warmed at the thought of her honest answer. Yes, she indeed likes him, and there was no doubt about that. The only thing that stood in her way was him—his thoughts exactly. What if the younger male only saw her as a friend and nothing more?

"Yes.. I do like him" Jisoo muttered ever so softly, her temperature slightly rising as her cheeks turned red, "But I'm not sure if he feels the same way."

Jisoo heard Lisa scoff. She turns to the younger, only to find the aforementioned's eyebrows raised, giving her the 'are-you-serious' look. The older scrunches her eyebrows in confusion, not quite getting the idea of Lisa.

Lisa rolled her eyes. "Are you kidding me, Jisoo-unnie? You two have been friends for months; not to mention, he had already taken you out before all of this fake dating news happened. I'm pretty sure that serves as some sort of hint."

Jisoo pondered for a moment. The younger members had so much experience when it comes to these type of stuff, as they normally receive love letters and confessions; they knew the little gestures guys would give when they show interest for a certain person. Though that wasn't enough for Jisoo. The risk of rejection was too high; she definitely wasn't going to risk every single ounce of her heart only for it to face rejection.

"Thanks, Lisa.." Jisoo smiles, softly caressing the younger's arms as she nuzzles closer to the crook of Lisa's neck, "But I don't think I am ready for stuff like this."

Flick!

Jisoo flinched back in pain. The younger had just flicked her middle finger on her forehead. "Ow! What the heck was that for?" The older asked with unmasked annoyance.

"My gut feeling is telling me that you're denser than water." Lisa answers bluntly, "I swear, you owe me a date when Jungkook actually confesses that he was the first one to like you."

Jisoo only smiled in response, finding the idea to be impossible; if only she knew that Lisa had unintentionally stated the truth.

"Hyuuuung, I am a coward."

Jin couldn't help but sigh as he hears the younger whine to him for the umpteenth time today. Ever since that date with Jisoo, Jungkook has been abnormally kind to the members; no more of that bratty boy with a bunch of schemes up his sleeves. Though there were times when the boy would randomly walk up to him (specifically him) and just whine about how much of a coward he was.

"It isn't my fault that you couldn't tell her the truth." Jin stated, looking up from his phone; the two are currently sitting on the couch situated in the living room, "Plus you practically saved yourself from heartache... So you should be giving yourself a pat on the back."

The younger glared at the older. Jungkook huffed as he snuggled against the soft pillows, arms crossed as he continued to look at his hyung, "Not helping."

A moment of silence followed; the typing sounds coming from Jin's phone could only be heard. After approximately five minutes, Jin turned off his phone and sets it down on the coffee table. "Look," He began. The older male was going to give advice; helpful or not, he was willing to help the younger, "Are you really smitten by her? Like, are you ready to really be with her?"

The seriousness in Jin's tone made Jungkook stiffen up a bit. As he laid still on the couch, the younger male pondered for awhile. He was certainly sure of his feelings for Jisoo; it was clear as day. Though he was just shy to admit it, especially to one of his members, since he would never hear the end of it as they would continuously tease him.

"I..." Jungkook paused, closing his mouth briefly before talking again, "Y-Yes..." He utters out in a hushed tone, which was barely audible to Jin, though the older could still make out what he was saying.

"And are you sure that she likes you?"

Jungkook stiffened again. He remember blubbering to Taehyung and Jin about the moment he locked eyes with her. He remembered how his heart was beating so fast, how he felt the spark in their touch, and the way her eyes glistened, as if she felt the same way. His mind was telling him that it was a stretch, but his gut feeling was telling him that was a sign. Though he shouldn't be getting ahead of himself here, the girl might've been glancing at the sunset for all he knew.

"I don't know...I-"

"You know what?" Jin says, cutting off the younger, "You should just go for it."

Jungkook did not like the tone and the look in his hyung's eyes because it persuaded him; it made him want to do it. He sighs as he sinks into the couch, Jin's words still in his mind. 'I should just go for it?'

Seeing that the younger was affected and is now taking his suggestion into consideration, Jin thought that it was time for him to leave; he had given him an idea, all that's left is for Jungkook to decided whether or not he should take action.
