"I swear I wasn't spying," you say as soon as you spot Jungkook.
He's carrying a wooden tray with not one, but two drinks on it. After he carefully lays it on the table, he gives you a smile. "No one said you were."
Right. The saying does say that the best defense is a good offense. A bad offense only makes you look guiltier. "I just... ah, I just wanted to make that clear."
"Don't worry, Y/N-ssi. It's crystal clear."
He tucks his chin against his chest. From where you're sitting, the corners of his lips seem to be twitching. But when you peer to get a good view, he tilts his head up and his expression is once again unreadable. Taking a seat, he hands you a mug.
"What's this?" you ask.
"A caramel macchiato? Seokjin-hyung said this is your usual drink." He sits across from you and fiddles with the straw of what appears to be a milkshake. It has a tall glob of whipped cream complete with sprinkles and a cherry on top. What an unusual choice of drink. "Ah, would you like a milkshake, instead?" he asks. "We can trade if you want."
He's tugging on his lower lip. A shallow dimple appears on his cheek. Your weakness! If he's not in front of you, you'll be groaning out loud and shaking your fist at the universe. There really is no justice in this world. The more you observe this man, the more you discover he has all the arsenal needed to aim at your heart. On the other hand, what do you have? "Oh, no. That's okay. I was just wondering why you got me a drink."
Did he not want to meet anymore? Maybe he didn't really mean it when he said he'll treat you next time. Not that you were expecting much, but still...
"Ah, this one's on the house."
"On the house? Why would Seokjin-ssi do that?"
Jungkook shrugs. "He's just that kind of hyung."
That doesn't make much sense since you don't know Seokjin that well, but you accept it anyway. At least it's not because he's reneging on your agreement. "I see. I'll have to thank him later, then."
"I'm the one who brought it to you, though," he says with a small pout.
It makes you smile. "Thanks to you, too. I'll enjoy it."
Raising your mug, you deliberately take a sip. Meanwhile, he lowers his head and takes a bite off the side of his whipped cream so the cherry now dangles precariously over the peak. The action leaves a foamy mustache above his top lip. Regardless, he goes on to take a sip until he drains almost half of the tall glass. The cherry sinks with the froth and melds with the slushy mixture.
"Jungkook-ssi..."
He cocks an expectant eyebrow.
You point in the direction of your own mouth. "You have some stuff on your--"
"Ah!"
