author's pov

tzuyu froze as the words escape his mouth. her whole world comes to a stop, and all of a sudden, she couldn't breathe.

jungkook holds his gaze, it was filled with deep intent and longing. intense, but subtle.

she gawks at him and remembers the food that was in her mouth, she had forgotten to breathe and now she was choking.

everyone on the table turned to look, jungkook passes tzuyu her water bottle but she refuses to take a sip. instead, she stands up from her seat, turning to leave. she was flustered and she had to gather her composure in the washroom.

jungkook watches her disappearing figure. he turns to the group and smacks his head on the table.

nononononononononono, did I do it wrong?? was it too sincere??? or was it too lighthearted??? noniONONOUNOUSohAJDLSHHGLKHDLAKHDL WHAT DID I DO

he closes his eyes as he cursed to himself, "ahh, you couldn't resist any longer eh?" hoseok teases him as he brushes his elbow to his.

the girls were confused but as they were slowly filled in with what went down, they all collectively gasp.

"yOU DID NOT."

"yOU'RE TRYING TO STEAL MY TZUYU FROM ME..?????!??!?"

"aw I ship it,"

"you mEAN YOU DIDN'T INFORM ME FIRST??" nayeon slams her hands on the table, bewildered,

"I'm asking to court her.." jungkook finally looks up from the floor, explaining further. confusion and unease consumed him, he didn't know if he did the right thing or not, if he conveyed his feelings well or not. but what he knew for sure was that he wasn't going to give up that easily. he let himself be vulnerable at this time when the girl he liked wasn't in the same room as he was in right now.

"Besides, you're not my mom," he adds, sticking a tongue out at her, nayeon rolls her eyes in response but she removes her attention from him to the girls who were now gaping at each other.

, "court??" jihyo mouths, "who does that these days..." jeongyeon scoffs,

"our generation right now...our romantic era..  kinda sucks ass," chaeyoung mumbles referring to how little to no boys actually make an effort nowadays in making a relationship happen. how deep meaningful talks had been replaced by short texts, how some current relationships have lost its sentimental value.. how everything nowadays was just for fun

"well, we're different, us boys will definitely treat the girl we end up with, just right," namjoon starts, "our miss right, eh?" the boys all agreed, they wanted to draw a line between them and the boys who are only out and about for hookups.

mina and jimin had nothing to worry about since they both are lovingly all over each other.

as the group conversed among themselves,  jungkook contemplated how he would react the moment tzuyu returns.

"if you pull anything weird jeon.." sana towers above him who swung an imaginary bat,

"face the wrath of twice," nayeon finished as they all glower, they break from their character when they see tzuyu return, the group whispered good lucks and cheered for him silently.

tzuyu's pov

"no, I mean.. I'm falling in love with you."

I look at myself in the mirror. my cheeks were flushed and warm. the scene repeats itself in my head, and I couldn't help but feel tense all over again.
