Set Aflame

I'm telling you in advance that my writing groove is off but I didn't want to make you wait so please excuse my writing

After breakfast and about an hour of talking and catching up with Yoongi and Namjoon, you go back to your guest room to make your bed and organize yourself.

It's when you close your door behind you and you're alone that you remember Jungkook's text. You pull out your phone and read it again.

Jungkook

Hey I keep thinking about yesterday. Can we talk?

You sigh. Do you want to talk? You're honestly kind of afraid of what Jungkook will say. You've only known him a week. You are used to shutting people out for this reason. So why are you nervous that he won't want to talk to you anymore?

Yeah sure

You go back to your original task, not expecting an answer for a while.

The reply comes within five minutes.

You look at your phone.

Jungkook

Can we meet up or are you busy? I can call I'd just rather meet in person

You don't get lots of time with Yoongi and Namjoon. You're not about to spend the day away from them and anyway, if Jungkook wants to meet, he'll have to come pick you up or something, meaning he'll meet Yoongi. Being childhood friends with Yoongi is another shocking thing he didn't know about you and you would rather not have to add that to the list of things Jungkook probably wants to talk about.

I'm a little busy but we can call

Jungkook calls you. You answer.

"Hello?"

"Hey Y/n. How has your day been?"

"Listen, about last night. I know what you saw was probably crazy and I know you want to talk about that and all but-"

"Last night? No I just wanted to know how your day is going."

"That-thats it? You're not... that's what you want to talk about?"

"Well yeah."

You blink. Okay. "Um. My day has been good. I'm catching up with an old friend and my brother dropped by this morning. We got to have breakfast together."

"Aw that's nice. Okay now we can talk. About last night..."

Ah there it is.

"I know how it seems, and I know you might not want to come near me anymore, but-"

"What? Why? If anything, I should be apologizing."

What?

"Huh?"

"Last night. When I told Jimin you're lesbian and then told you I didn't believe you... I'm sorry. It was kind of a bitchy thing to do."

You stare at the floor in confusion. Is this Jungkook? He's not at all curious about your powers? Was that even him last night? Does he have a secret twin he didn't tell you about?

"Y/n? You there?"

"Y-yeah. Um. Thanks. It's fine. But uh... you're not... you're not curious about what happened after the party? You know, right outside the cafe you work at?"

"Oh yeah. I forgot about that."

You tilt your head, waiting for more.

"...and?"
