POV: Y/N
We had just arrived at the hotel. After tossing my luggage in the closet, I joined my friends, who were all sprawled out on the bed.
"Y/N, let's go to the mall!" Armani said, already kicking her feet in excitement.
"I have to ask Yoongi first," I pouted.
"Then go already!" she said, dramatically pushing me off the bed.
"Alright, alright! I'm going!" I laughed as I left the room.
I knocked on the door and, of course, Jungkook answered. His eyes locked with mine, and for a second it felt like the world paused.
"Uh—where's Yoongi?" I asked, standing on my tiptoes to peek over his shoulder.
"He's, um... on the balcony," he stammered.
"Thanks." I smiled, gently patting his shoulder as I walked past. He turned away, but not fast enough—I caught the blush blooming on his face.
I found Yoongi on the balcony, staring out over the city like he was in a music video.
"Shouldn't you be resting?" he asked without turning.
"I just wanted to let you know I'm heading to the mall with the girls."
"Jungkook!" he suddenly yelled.
Jungkook peeked out. "Yes, hyung?"
"You're going with her."
"What?! I don't need a babysitter," I protested.
"Then stay in the room," Yoongi shrugged, walking inside.
"At least send someone else. Jin? Taehyung?"
"I'll ask Taehyung," Jungkook offered. "I think he's free."
"Fine. I'll wait here," I muttered, plopping on the couch.
A few minutes later, Jungkook and Taehyung stepped out, both dressed down but in full disguise—hoodies, caps, sunglasses, and masks. We took the elevator down in silence. Why were they suddenly so quiet?
I entered my room and called out, "Let's go! Guys?"
No response.
Then my phone buzzed. It was a text from Armani:
"Already at the mall. Across the street. Oops 😬"
"Traitors," I muttered.
"They're already there?" Taehyung asked.
"Yup," I said while fixing my hair in a compact mirror.
I grabbed Jungkook by the wrist and dragged him along while Taehyung trailed behind, still watching videos on his phone. We crossed the street and entered the mall. As we passed by a teddy bear stall, I spotted my friends—and the cutest stuffed duck I've ever seen.
"Aww! That's adorable!" I squealed.
"Want it?" Jungkook asked.
"No, it's fine—" But he was already at the cashier.
"Too late," he said, handing me the bag.
"You didn't have to..." I blushed.
"Oooh! Look who's got a date!" my friends chorused in our language, giggling.
We browsed clothes in the department store. My friends ditched me again, saying they were hungry. That left me with Jungkook and V. I picked out a few outfits and waved them over.
"Can you help me with these?"
"Sure," Taehyung said, taking the clothes.
They sat on a bench outside the fitting rooms. I tried on a silk black bodycon dress and walked out.
"What do you think?" I asked, adjusting the skirt.
Both of them stared.
"Do I add a cardigan or...?"
"You look good," V said, still stunned.
Jungkook, suddenly frowning, glanced at V before mumbling, "Buy both. Let's eat."
Was he... jealous?
After a very full steak dinner (which I instantly regretted), I suggested the arcade.
"You sure you're up for it?" Jungkook teased.
"Yup. Let's go."

At the Arcade
"Let's do basketball," he said, dragging me with him.
"You don't stand a chance," I smirked.
V waved us off. "I'll wander the mall. Catch you later."
We played. I lost. Brutally.
"What was that you said earlier?" Jungkook teased.
"It was luck," I grumbled.
"Claw machine next?"
I sighed. "Fine."
He focused hard—too hard—like winning me a plushie was a matter of national pride. And somehow, he did it.
"Got it." He shook the prize proudly.
"Let's go back. I'm exhausted."
Back at the hotel, we shared the elevator again. He took off his mask and leaned against the wall, letting out a breath.
"You tired?" I asked, eyeing my mountain of shopping bags.
He gave me a look that said, What do you think?
I laughed.
He dropped off my bags in my room.
"Thanks again. I had fun," I smiled at him by the door.
"You're welcome," he said, ruffling my hair gently. "Go shower and rest."
"Mm-hmm. You too."
"Goodnight."

Jungkook's POV
As soon as I walked back into the boys' room...
"How was it?" Namjoon asked.
"Did you eat?" Hoseok added.
"What did you do to my baby?!" Jimin teased dramatically.
"What?!" Yoongi snapped.
"Nothing!" Jimin cackled.
"Where is she?" Jin asked.
"She okay?" Yoongi added.
I groaned. "Can I breathe first? I'll tell you everything."
I flopped down. "We went shopping, ate, arcade. Taehyung left. Nothing happened."
"This is the last time I'm letting you be alone with her," Yoongi said darkly.
"Why?! We didn't even do anything!"
"I'll think about it."
I rolled my eyes and stood. "I'm showering and going to bed. Don't ask me anything else."
After my shower, I dried my hair and collapsed into bed, hugging a pillow.
It was a long day.
But worth it.
