Jungkook is always bad in expressing his love for me. It's  more like he doesn't know how to express his love for me. But when he unknowingly does, it's like my world comes to a stop.

I remember it was a pleasant day for strolling in the streets. Me and Jungkook, both wore couple hoodies and set out for the day.

As we were passing by shops and restaurants, the hoodie slid down, revealing the hickey on my neck. Embarrassed, I quickly covered it up. Jungkook, who was walking beside me, started complaining "Stop covering it up. There's nothing to hide. Let the world know that you are mine."

I started punching him with my tiny fists "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! It's all because of you! It looks so obvious!"

Over his shoulder, I could see a restaurant with a cute doll poster for an ad. The doll was given as a gift if one person or one couple could finish one huge burger in one hour. If you don't finish it by one hour, you need to pay 300 won.

I squealed looking at the doll "Wow~ this doll is so cute! Seems like the burger is also delicious!" I salivated in front of the restaurant.

Perhaps the restaurant's worker noticed my saliva drooping on the window as he hurriedly came towards us and spoke with a fake smile "Hi guys, this challenge is so popular in our restaurant! Lots of couples do this challenge. Come try it!"

I pouted, looking at the doll "Although the doll is cute... I feel like we won't finish. It's such a waste. And it's not cheap either."

Jungkook glanced at me. He then took my hand in his, and walked towards the restaurant "Let's go! We're eating this today!"

"Huh?! Wait Jungkook!"

"Stop thinking about it. I made a decision."

And the next thing I knew, we were inside the restaurant, talking to the chef about the challenge.

"We want to do the challenge," Jungkook said with a proud face.

I whispered in his ears "We won't finish... Jungkook! Listen to me...!"

The chef looked at us, with a smug smile plastered on his face "You have one hour. Please take your seat."

After about 15 minutes later, our burger arrived, and what the... OH MY GOSH!!!!

THE BURGER WAS DOUBLE MY SIZE!! LIKE, IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!

Jungkook was intimidated by the burger. He gave me a nervous smile "This..."

"...IS SO HUGE!!" I completed his sentence.

I was looking at the burger from every angle. Where should I even start?!

I turned over to look at Jungkook who had started eating without any hesitation. He then looked at me menacingly "Lisa!! Start to eat! Don't just sit there!"

One hour later, the chef came towards our table with a stopwatch "Guys! It's time up!"

We looked at our burger. There was more than half left out. The chef gave us a mocking smile "Gosh~ what a shame. Just 'a little bit' left then you would have got it for free with the doll~ Thanks for trying. Your bill is at the reception."

We paid the bill with a heavy heart and exited the restaurant sighing loudly.

On our way home, I asked him "Jungkook, you knew we won't finish right?" He nodded his head "So why did you make us do it? You knew we won't finish..." I pouted sadly.

Jungkook took a glance at me. He then fished out his phone from his pant pocket and started texting, completely ignoring me.

Frustrated, I asked him "What are you doing?!" Just then I got a text message. When I looked at the message ID, it was Jungkook. Confused, I took a look at the message and was taken aback.

'Because I like you. So even if I know it's dumb, I would like to try it with you. That's all, dummy.'

I awed at the message. I was too busy gawking at it, that Jungkook immediately deleted the message.

Baffled at his sudden move, I started punching him "Hey?! Why did you delete the message?! I haven't even reacted to it!"

Jungkook shrugged "It so cringed, just act as I've never said it."

"I don't care!! Send it again!!"

The next day, I was busy working at home when the doorbell rang.

Utterly exhausted by work, I opened the door lazily but was completely surprised by the sight in front of me.

Taehyung and Jimin were standing at the doorstep with the huge doll that was at the restaurant.

"Taehyung and Jimin, why are you guys here?" I asked them worriedly "And, what's going on with the doll?"

Jimin burst out crying "Ask Your Jungkook!!! I can't believe he made us do this! He told us that he would treat us for a meal, but it was that huge burger!! And he forced us to finish the whole thing!! He's mad!"

"Huh? Sorry about that! I loved the doll so... how could you do that, Jungkook?! But isn't it that challenge only for couples?"

"Don't mention it!! Jungkook put our names down! He said Taehyung and I were a couple!!"
