Jungkook knows that high school relationships never last, but he's determined to at least start one... with the captain of the football team, Kim Taehyung.
Jungkook gulped as he walked into the gym, holding onto the straps of his backpack tightly. He was clad in a pair of sweatpants and an oversized shirt, not knowing what to wear, much less what to expect from "practice."
"Hey, Jungkook!" Hyuna said, causing the boy to almost jump. He smiled shyly and set down his bag, rubbing his arms awkwardly. "I'll introduce you to the rest of the team," Hyuna said, grabbing Jungkook's arm and leading him towards the other cheerleaders.
"Everyone, this is Jungkook," Hyuna said, catching the attention of the rest of the cheerleaders. Jungkook waved shyly, carefully pulling his arm out of Hyuna's grip.
"Jungkook, this is Yeri, Tzuyu, Jennie, Jisoo, Sana, Irene, Rosé, Nayeon, and Taeyeon," Hyuna said, rattling off a bunch of names that Jungkook was sure to forget within a matter of minutes. The girls all waved at him and soon Jungkook found himself swarmed with phones, everyone asking for his number.
"I'll text you the details for tomorrow night," Yeri (or maybe it was Tzuyu) said, her acrylic nails tapping against her phone. Jungkook's phone dinged in his pocket. "O-Okay," Jungkook mumbled again, pulling his phone out of his pocket.
He had a string of texts from random numbers (or maybe they weren't random because they were the cheerleaders). Jungkook started adding all of their contacts in his phone, watching his contacts list jump from ten to twenty.
"W-What's happening tomorrow night?" he asked, feeling a chill run down his spine when the cheerleaders stopped what they were doing.
"Did Hyuna not tell you?" Irene (or was it Jisoo) asked, shooting Hyuna a sad look. "Oh! No, I didn't tell him yet," Hyuna said, "We're having a beginning of the season party. Everyone's gonna stay over!"
"O-Oh," Jungkook mumbled. He hadn't really been to a party before. "I-Isn't it weird for me to go?" he asked, desperately trying to get himself out of the situation.
"Why? You're gay, right?"
Jungkook pauses. Was it really that obvious?
"Uh, yeah... I... I guess it's not weird then..." he mumbled, feeling excruciatingly self conscious. If only Jin or Jimin were with him right now.
"Awesome! Then it all works out," Hyuna said, resting a hand on Jungkook's shoulder. "Let's start practice then!"
Jungkook nodded and watched as Hyuna walked off. What was he getting himself into?

Jungkook held onto his duffel bag tightly as he stood outside of Hyuna's house. Her house was big... no, gigantic, and Jungkook felt out of place just standing outside of it.
He had made the wise (extremely stupid) decision of not telling anybody about what he was doing. He told Jimin that he would be "studying" as his excuse for not being able to make it to game night. Jungkook's missed game night before. He was certain that another unattended social gathering wouldn't harm his relationship with his hyungs.
He rang the doorbell, awkwardly shifting his weight from foot to foot as he waited for someone to answer the door. Maybe he should've gone to game night.
The door swung open and Jungkook jumped, fixing a plastic smile onto his face. Irene (he had gotten better at distinguishing who was who) stared at him with a smile and moved aside so he could walk in.
Jungkook followed her awkwardly, trying to memorize the hallways and turns of the large house. They eventually stumbled upon a large open room... filled with cheerleaders.
"H-Hey guys," Jungkook mumbled, setting down his stuff. He sat down on a fluffy chair, caught off guard by the fact that he practically sank into it.
"Hey!" Hyuna said, putting down her phone and patting the spot beside her. Jungkook shuffled awkwardly and plopped down next to Hyuna.
"Kookie," Yeri began, pausing when she saw the confused expression on Jungkook's face, "Sorry, can I call you that?" Jungkook nodded awkwardly.
"Have you ever had a facial before?" Yeri continued. Jungkook shook his head, eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "Oh, that's fine," Yeri mumbled, but grabbed some things from behind her and stared at Jungkook with a huge smile on her face.
"What movie should we put on?" Tzuyu asked, scrolling through Netflix. "You should put on a porno if Taehyung and the guys are coming over," Sana giggled from beside Jungkook.
"T-Taehyung?"
Fuck. Let's just say that Jungkook did not mean to say that aloud.
All of the girls stopped and looked at him, confusion dancing across their faces. "Yeah, you know, football Taehyung," Jisoo explained. The rest of the girls nodded along.
"H-He's coming over?" Jungkook mumbled, feeling his face flush from all of the attention. Hyuna nodded. "Why? Is something wrong?"
Jungkook shook his head.
"Do... Do you like him?"
Perhaps it was Jungkook's bright red face that betrayed him. Either that or he was just way too obvious when he stared during pep rallies or in the cafeteria.
"Awww," Jennie cooed, making more color rush to Jungkook's face. "So is this your first time talking with him?" Nayeon asked, receiving a punch in the arm from Yeri. The girl mumbled out a string of profanities before apologizing quietly.
"N-No..." Jungkook mumbled, avoiding the stares from the girls in the room. His eyes landed on Yeri, and he watched as her confused stare turned into something more mischievous.
"This is your chance then, Kookie!" Yeri exclaimed, practically throwing herself onto Jungkook in a bone-crushing hug. "Let's give you a facial and maybe mess with your hair a bit," she said, ruffling Jungkook's hair, much to his dismay.
"Good idea, Yeri!" Hyuna added, pulling the round glasses off of Jungkook's face, "Do you have contacts, Kookie?" Jungkook shook his head.
"Good thing I brought bleach today," Taeyeon muttered, reaching behind Rosé to grab her bag. "B-Bleach?" Jungkook mumbled, scrunching his nose when Yeri put something cold on his face. Of course, he couldn't really see what she was doing.
"I think highlights would look cute on you, Kookie!" Taeyeon giggled, putting gloves on and grabbing a bowl from Hyuna's kitchen.
Jungkook wasn't sure how his hyungs would feel about this.
