Mystery Girl

Busan 2

Y/n's POV 

The restaurant was wonderful, the smell of delicious and foreign food filling the air. I sit down delicately, trying to remain polite even when all my senses were bursting with colour and smells. I smile at Jin widely, so happy that he was thoughtful enough to research local places to eat. I am also nervous somewhere within me but I shove the thoughts that cloud my head to the back of my mind- they don't need to ruin this beautiful day. 

Looking out the window, I can't think of a time in my life where I have been happier. All these new experiences and encounters have made a monumental difference to my life and at a point where I had thought that my life would always be the same, stuck in a little town with a small job and modest income. Although all of this is inevitably temporary, I am enjoying every moment because the best time to live is in the present. 

Jin asks me what I would like to order and he waits patiently as I pick what I want from the menu, an act of politeness that he doesn't have to display to someone younger than him. He seems to have done some more research on my culture, as his manners are different from how he normally acts. 

When the waitress has walked off with our orders, I nudge Jin with my elbow. "You don't need to act like this if you don't want to," I say to him, feeling slightly bad that he had thought that he had to try so hard for me. "It seems to be impressing you, so I think I will carry on for now," Jin replies with a little less conviction than I think he intended. I smile and roll my eyes at him and he covers his red face with his hand. 

When the food arrives after about 10 minutes, we dig in wordlessly and I make noises of appreciation, smiling at Jin gratefully. I don't eat too fast because I don't want to make myself sick and besides, the food is so delicious I want to savour every bite I take. 

Namjoon's POV

After walking to find Jungkook, I hear sniffling coming from a room with an open door. I walk in quietly and see Jungkook sitting in a corner, his head between his knees and his back against the wall. Slowly, I walk over to him and sit on the floor beside him. He lifts his head slowly but faces away from me, he doesn't want his hyung to see him cry like this, understandable. 

"I don't get it hyung." Jungkook says finally. I wait for him to carry on patiently and he turns to face me before continuing. "Why am I so jealous? What is wrong with me?" I sigh and place a hand on his shoulder softly. "Kookie, let's face it, you don't have much experience with relationships and all of a sudden y/n has come into your life and you don't know how to act right?" He nods quietly, a silent tear rolling down his face. "Maybe this is good for you, to learn how to deal with relationships and heartbreaks, after all, everyone has to go through it."

Jungkook stands up suddenly. "Does this mean that I still have a chance?" He asks, his voice filled with hope. "I would say so Kookie," I say, knowing that my personal feelings don't have a place in this conversation for now. Before I can register what is happening, I feel Jungkook's arms wrapped around me. "Thank you hyung. I know that this is hard for you too and I appreciate your selflessness. I don't deserve her, you do, but the game isn't over until there is a winner." With that statement, Jungkook leaves me standing in an empty room, contemplating the maturity and intelligence of the man who was once a boy. 

Yoongi's POV

I overheard the conversation between Jungkook and Namjoon at lunch break and I couldn't believe my ears. I knew he was serious, Jungkook is serious with most things he does, but I hadn't realised just how much he wanted to be with y/n. I clench my fist in annoyance. What would be morally correct to do? Give up now, or play the fight fairly? I am conflicted between my own selfish desires and the intuition to let the maknae have what he wants. 

It's fair game for now Kook.
