(G)I-dle Reactions
Requested by: @cadelinhadaspinks
Your child first steps
Miyeon
Miyeon legit didn't noticed right away. The tugs on her pants made her turn around only the third time. Not gonna lie at first she thought your son could teleport himself. It's only when she noticed that he was standing without tumbling that she put two and two together. She caressed his little head before kneeling down to be on the same level as him.
"You know how to walk and you didn't even tell Mommy. Come on let's go show mom."
Tumblr media
Minnie
"Come on, you got this baby. Come to me."
Just when Minnie stopped recording because she thought it wasn't today that your child would successfully walk to her. Your little human let go of your hands and tried to walk to its mom, at first the steps were unsure and heavy but the distance was fast to disappear letting Minnie shocked. She cursed herself for missing the moment that she wanted to catch on camera the most.
Tumblr media
Soojin
Soojin let out a loud gasp when your toddler suddenly got up and went welcome you to the door. You were surprised too but responded to its demand and took its hand all the way back to her. Once back in front of Soojin, she lift your child in the air playing the airplane because of how proud she was. She wasn't expecting to see that any time soon, your child was still a baby for her.
"You're a genius, you learned that by yourself."
Tumblr media
Soyeon
As a mother Soyeon was more focus on making your child sing and rap than making her walk. Your daughter had daily trainings with your girlfriend and her karaoke device when she suddenly got up and went to her room.
"Soyeon ?!"
"I know. My bad I pushed her too hard, I'll go apologise."
It's only when she came back with your daughter in her arms that she realised.
"Did she just walk off ?"
Tumblr media
Yuqi
Yuqi prepared a whole ass obstacles race for your twins. Most of it was just crawling through tunnels and climbing up stairs. Your twins were awfully competitive and Yuqi was enjoying the show a little too much, thrilled to see her own children crush each other. Suddenly your first born stood up and ran to pass the finish line, shocking you both.
"Wait ! What ? Okay we need a new obstacles, let's go to the pet store !"
Tumblr media
Shuhua
Shuhua couldn't understand why your daughter couldn't stand up and walk. She loves to drive the stroller around though, so much that she sometimes actually forget to put your child inside before going out. Maybe it contributed to your daughter learning who to walk on her own. She just ran after her mom when she saw Shuhua forgot her again. When Shuahua noticed she kissed your daughter cheek before putting her in the stroller.
"You might know how to walk now but I'm not letting go of this super car so just pretend you don't a little longer, okay ?"

Back To You
Pairing: Lisa x Fem!Reader
Word Count: ~ 3,266
Warnings / Misc. -- Angst, Some Fluff, Some Smut / Suggestive Themes, Some Swearing
Disclaimer: This writing is a work of fiction, and no disrespect is meant for those mentioned herein.
A/N: Hey everyone! This one is based loosely on the songs “Everytime” by Ariana Grande and “Oh My God” by (G)I-DLE. (Total bops, ikr?) There are some *spicy* moments in here, so prepare yourselves. Nothing too crazy, but it’s definitely something new for me. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it; feel free to let me know what you think. Happy reading!
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
As Lisa watched you from the back of the room, her drink being clutched tighter in her hand with each passing second, she attempted to control her emotions. The current song’s strong beats pulsed throughout the house, the bass sending vibrations out across the floor. She watched as you spun around, leaning back and grinding slightly on whatever new person had been brave enough to approach you. Their hands were all over you, gripping your hips, your hair -- everything. The sight made her sick, but she couldn’t take her eyes off of you.
“You okay?” Jennie asked, raising her voice loud enough for her friend to hear. Upon seeing the dejected look on Lisa’s face, she followed her gaze; just as her eyes landed on you, your dancing partner leaned in to press a kiss to your neck. Your head was tilted back, granting them access; Jennie knew that Lisa would be crushed.
"Totally." She seethes, clenching her jaw and rolling her eyes as you're bent over again. 
Not even 10 minutes ago, she was the one dancing with you. The past hour had seen you two out there, bodies pressed close together, free in the rhythm. 
But she lost you the second that she left to get a drink: everyone who had been waiting for the chance to dance with you took this as their opportunity. 
Upon seeing her best friend so miserable, Jennie began to regret inviting you in the first place. The girls love Lisa more than anything and they want to see her happy; clearly, though, whatever you share with Lisa is anything but healthy. Every time they voice their concerns, she swears she knows what she's doing -- that she's capable of handling herself. It doesn't take a genius to see that she's not fine, but they do owe you some credit; she's seen some of her happiest times because of you. The only thing Lisa is certain of is that she can never seem to leave you. Anytime she thinks she's managed to let go, you're calling again, effectively pulling her back in. The situation is complex, feelings and fears mixing together in a deadly combo. 
After a while, Jennie convinces her to spend some time with the girls outside by the firepit in hopes of taking her mind off of the situation. She agrees, and soon she's genuinely enjoying herself again. 
~~~~~~~
Why, out of every other room possible, did she have to walk into this one? It's almost karmic, to the point that Lisa wonders if maybe she did something so unbearably heinous in a past life that she might be deserving of such punishment. She was simply looking for the restroom; never did she expect to witness this. 
Perhaps you haven’t noticed her presence yet -- you're in someone’s lap, half naked with your hair mussed and lips swollen, your motions never ceasing for a second. Standing there, catching you in the act, Lisa's torn -- should she slip away and pretend like she never saw that? Or should she burst in and interrupt you? 
Before she has time to react, the decision is made for her.
From outside the door, just a little bit down the hallway, another partygoer shouts out a slurred phrase to their friend, falling to the ground in a drunken heap. The sound catches your attention (considering it was loud enough to be heard over the music blasting from downstairs) and you look up. Lisa’s eyes meet yours halfway, neither of you knowing what to do at that point. She visibility tenses before muttering a quick sorry and shutting the door. Shit.
Your current hook-up is too busy leaving marks on your neck to even acknowledge what happened, their hands gripping your waist as they pull you in closer. While part of you wants to go after her, your mind is still clouded with desire -- your body overrules your better judgement, prompting you to continue on. You attempt to push the thoughts of Lisa from your mind, but every time your head is thrown back in pleasure, eyelids fluttering closed, the image of her sad eyes flashes before you. Why did she look so upset?
Lisa’s heart is breaking. After making her way down the stairs, she throws a goodbye to her friends over her shoulder before walking out. What the two of you have was never supposed to be complicated; quite the opposite actually. Neither of you can deny the energy you share -- the connection you feel anytime you're together-- but you aren't ready for a relationship. Lisa's always said that she isn't either, but it's a lie every time; she doesn't want to tie you down or hold you back from experiencing everything life has to offer, but she wants more with you. 
She prides herself on being a strong woman, tough in the face of difficult situations. But the one thing she can't seem to get over is the fact that you're intimate with other people. It's not a new discovery by any means, but in the past she could always pretend like it wasn't true when the sadness would come on especially strong. After finding you like that at the party, though, she clearly can't do that anymore. 
Once the two of you are finished, they quickly exit the room, leaving you alone with your thoughts. With them gone, you can finally breathe and take a minute to think about what happened. Why do you feel guilty? Lisa has made it clear that she's okay with what you have going on, but yet something in her gaze told you the opposite. The way her face fell, brows knitted sadly, eyes cast to the floor -- it all sold her out, her real emotions on full display. 
~~~~~~~
Two Days Later
"Can I come over, baby?" The pet name felt a bit foreign on your tongue now, almost as if you didn't have the right to use it after what happened. 
She knew the words were coming, but she still felt her stomach flip at them. A simple "Mmm," came through the phone as your answer, and you soon set off for her apartment. You could tell she was trying to sound the same as always, attempting to disguise the uncertainty in her voice as indifference. 
~~~~~~~
*Knock Knock*
The second that the door opens, you begin to apologize. 
"Lisa, I'm sorry that you had to see--"
The feeling of her mouth on yours silences you, catching you completely off guard. Wasn't she upset? Despite the confusion, you don't move away; you allow her to pull you into the room, melting into her embrace as she pushes you up against the door. 
The logical part of your brain is begging you to wait, to talk about what happened that night, but you can't find the strength to step out of her hold. Gently, her nails graze over your skin, mindlessly tracing little patterns as her soft lips press to your jaw. 
Her hands swiftly snake under your shirt, caressing the warm skin of your abdomen, and she lifts her head to kiss your lips. After spending so much time with Lisa, you're able to read her well; every touch, tremble, and move has its own meaning, successfully communicating the thoughts that she could never say out loud. Her body never lies to you, and you consider it a trusted source for that very reason. With that in mind, you make a mental note to pay attention so that you might gain some insight into what she's feeling. 
After stumbling blindly into the living room, she walks you backwards until your legs hit the couch; with a shove, you're sent falling backwards onto the soft cushions below. Her darkened eyes peer down at you, scanning over every inch of your body. Once her gaze settles on your face, she smiles widely; you're already turned on, and she's proud of herself. The air of the room thickens as she licks her lips, signalling for you to take your clothes off. She reciprocates before joining you, hovering over your form. Her hair falls into your face, gently tickling your cheeks and lightening the mood momentarily; the action draws a giggle from you, and she grins at the sound. No matter how upset she was, how hurt your previous actions made her, she would forever be under your spell. 
The aura around you shifts back to its initial, tense state, thrilling you to your core. She bites your lip, granting herself more access as she nudges your legs apart with her knee. The feeling of her toned thigh connecting with your center sends you reeling, but she's quick to muffle your moan with a kiss. Every little move from her drives you crazy, only fueling your desire more. One of your arms wraps around her waist, aiding her movements on your thigh, while your other hand comes up to tangle in her hair. With a tug, you begin kissing down her neck, leaving dark marks on the tender skin there. Your actions pull a low groan from her, and you almost grow arrogant; your ego is soon put in check when she grinds further down onto you, her hips settling into a smooth rhythm. Your knees go weak at the sensation, your stomach tightening with each push and pull of her body against your own.
The pleasure rushing through you causes your eyes to flutter closed, mind only on Lisa. Your head falls back onto the cushion, and she jumps at the opportunity to gently -- teasingly -- wrap her fingers around your neck, the slightest bit of pressure added. "You like that, baby?" It's a rhetorical question: she knows you enjoy it, especially with the way that your pulse quickens beneath her fingertips, your skin heating up. She watches as your eyes peek open the slightest bit, only to widen upon seeing the lustful look she's giving you. Knowing that your words would surely fail you, you instead nod furiously, determined to answer her question anyway. 
Her other hand travels up your stomach, past your ribs, and eventually lands on the material on your bra. In one motion, she has it off of you, sending it flying across the room with a flick of her wrist. When you shift your leg, brushing it harder up against where she needs you most, her breath hitches and her movements speed up. "Fuck, Y/N," she whines out.
"L-lisa…" The word is a mix between a stutter and a sigh as it slips past your lips; the very ones that are swollen and red from her fervent kisses. Seeing you like this -- watching you slowly come undone right before her, squirming and calling out her name -- is one of her favorite pastimes. She wants nothing more than to be the only one who has the privilege of seeing this show. You've drug her under completely, leaving her no possible way of escaping the love she has for you.
The couch creaks beneath you, its springs being worn down with every thrust of Lisa's hips, and the lewd sounds you're both letting out echo across the apartment. Surely her neighbors can hear what you're up to, and perhaps that should matter; it doesn't, though, at least not right now. 
By the way she's pouring her all into it, giving you everything she has, you know she's hurt. She's trying to prove something to you, to show you how good she can make you feel. 
You match her energy, both of you spending the next while pulling out all the stops to bring each other to release.
~~~~~~~
Deep maroon paints the dusky sky, streaks and hues of yellow and orange mixing in here and there. From your position on the couch, the curtain is parted just enough to give you a glimpse of the brilliant summer evening. The two of you must've fallen asleep after your third round, considering how much later it is and how rested you feel. Lisa’s skin is warm against your own, her body cradled in your arms underneath the blanket. With this peaceful set-up laid out before you, you decide to put your head back again and relax.
A few minutes later, quiet sniffles against your chest snap you out of your post-sex haze, causing you to quickly reposition yourself to look into Lisa’s eyes. 
"What's wrong, jagi?" 
Her eyes shut at the name now, tears wetting her long lashes at the action. How many other people have earned that titled? The thought of you holding anyone else like you're holding her right now breaks her heart.
"Don't you know?" She asks sadly, voice soft.
"I think so, but I need you to tell me." Sensing that this conversation will be a serious one, you sit up fully so that you can face her. 
"I want to be with you, Y/N. I can't share you anymore." She dives right in, sick of always beating around the bush. This isn't the first time she's tried to make you aware of her feelings, but in the past she's always relented, chalking her confessions up to simply being caught up in the moment. Her tone lets you know that this time will be different, though. 
"Lisa, we've talked about this--" The words come out sounding tired, but you're not sure what it's more directed towards: her and this recurring argument, or yourself. Perhaps a bit of both, seeing as how they're interconnected in many ways -- you're the root cause of the issues. You're tired of reminding her of your agreement, always having to be the one to crush her spirits time and time again; but what's more, is that part of you is tired of fighting your feelings for her. 
She's perfect, even in the ways that she isn't, and you know you don't deserve her because of that. You're a deeply flawed individual, too much of a coward to face your feelings and be honest. All you've ever known is running, and the idea of being open and vulnerable with someone so important to you isn't something you can deal with. You've tried pushing her away -- keeping her at arm's length, hoping she'll see that she deserves better than you -- but it never works. You're far too selfish to give her up completely, and she's too in love to leave. 
"Don't say it," she pleads, fresh tears being wiped away as soon as they fall onto her skin. 
"Why am I so special, huh? You could have anyone in the world and you choose me? I'm a nobody; I have nothing to offer you." The words are whole-heartedly earnest, honestly surprising you a bit. 
"I don't know why, Y/N. Don't you think I've questioned that myself?" 
You shake your head, taking a minute to gather your thoughts.
"Tell me that you don't feel the same. I need to hear you say it." Her tone is final, attempting to hold strong. She's trying to do this in order to move on, but both of you know it's futile. 
"I can't do that." You refuse to lie to her.
"Why, if you're only interested in me for sex?" You curse yourself for allowing things to get to the point that she'd believe something like that. 
"You've gotta be kidding me. I care about more than that, Lisa; I'm just trying to protect you." 
"From what?" She inquires, quirking an eyebrow as she crosses her arms. She's growing frustrated just like you; you can feel it.
"Me, damnit! I'm not good for you; can't you see that?" You're exasperated at this point.
"Why the hell is everyone such an expert on what's good for me? The girls, now you -- evidently everyone gets a say in it but me."
She has a point, so you tell her to continue.
"All I know is that I want you, Y/N. I wanna be the person you wake up next to, the first person you call when you have news to share; your person. I know you're far from perfect, but when have I ever asked you to be? You're a fucking mess, but I want every part of you." 
Did she really just say that to you? Your mind tries to process how the hell you managed to have such an incredible woman so ready and willing to not only stay by your side, but actively want to be there. No one's ever cared enough to be different; but Lisa is the difference that you've been searching for all along. She's seen your struggles; you've told her more about your past than anyone else, and somehow it's only made her want to stay more. How you had been such an idiot before is beyond you, but you can't put all of the blame on yourself. Having a person like her in your corner is rare; you're just happy you had this epiphany before you let her slip away.
She's looking into your eyes, intently searching for an answer in the deep pools as she waits for you to respond. The nerves that she's worked hard to suppress bubble up within, sending a sinking feeling to settle within her stomach. She holds her breath upon seeing you slowly lift your head higher, a special sort of twinkle in your eye.
"I'm so sorry, Lisa; for everything. You're the best person I know, and the absolute last person to deserve what I've put you through. I'm just scared. You're different than what I'm used to and I don't know how to deal with that. But I want you, too."
She can't contain the smile that works on her lips, tugging the corners up in the most adorable way possible. Her heart is soaring now, starting to feel like it's being repaired as she fully registers your words. She's been dying to hear you open up -- to let her in -- and it's finally happened. 
"Yeah?" She asks, seeking reassurance that this is really happening before she gets her hopes up.
"Yeah." You declare, reaching for her hand. "I'm ready to try." A gentle kiss is pressed to it, serving as your way of confirming your feelings. For some reason, kissing her hand has always felt sacred to you; thus, you only do it on special occasions. She's noticed that fact too, so it means so much more to her that you chose to do it now. 
"Come here." She utters, leaning back and opening her arms for you to join her. She wants to hold you. With a wide smile, you quickly do as she asks; her embrace is one of your favorite places in the whole world, and you'd never miss a chance to be in it.
Your head is on her chest, the sound of her steady heartbeat making its way to your ear, comforting you. She rests her cheek against the top of your head, taking in the tropical smell of your shampoo. I'll have to get her some more, she thinks to herself. She can't wait to spoil you.
Now, with the cosmos finally finding some semblance of harmony, the two of you begin your journey together. It won't be easy, but the love you hold for each other is too strong to let go to waste. Lisa’s shoulders are free of the previous weight they held, her heart no longer bound by the shackles placed on it. She's free to love you, to show you that you're worthy of a good, kind love -- the type that's patient and honest -- and she's never been happier.

Tumblr media
"It's truly too early for this." Yoongi yawned out into his palm as he sat down at the table here in the library.
"It isn't too early. You just stayed up all night and now you're too tired to function." Namjoon told him with a smirk on his lips as he joined him, taking a seat to his right.
"Joon is right," Jin added as he too joined the two men in the library.
Yoongi rolled his eyes at both of them before letting his eyes wander around the room, trying to spot the rest of their friends. It wasn't early, actually, it was already noon but it was a Saturday which explains why the library is practically empty.
"Please tell me one of you have a good enough reason as to why I'm awake before 3 PM on the ONE Saturday that I don't have any work to do? I wanted to sleep the day away!" Taehyung cried as he flopped down into one of the chairs.
Yoongi glared at the whining boy as Jin and Namjoon laughed, which made Taehyung glare as well at them from where he sat.
"We have that big trip coming up and we need to finish planning it or else it'll go to shit like last year," Namjoon answered him.
Jin snorted at the thought of how badly last years trip was. "Yeah. I still blame Jimin for that one though."
"You blame Jimin for what exactly?"
Right on cue, Jimin walked from behind Jin and sat at the big table himself. He walked up just on time to hear himself being talked about.
Jin wasn't fazed by Jimin at all. Rather he smiled and gave him a teasing poke to the arm. "I blame you for fucking up last years trip to the amusement park. You threw up barely two hours after getting there which sent a chain reaction through Hoseok and Jungkook, then we were all left feeling queasy and uneasy. We left because you can't hold your liquor."
Jimin was offended now. His eyes widened and his jaw fell open. "Well, whose idea was it to get drunk before five that day and ride crazy loopy rollercoasters?! Blame yourself, Jin!"
"Pft. Weak."
The five men who sat together all started to laugh at the argument and the memory of last year. About ten minutes later Jungkook and Hoseok had joined the group and they were all seven sat together talking and planning.
Every year, ever since they were kids and before they even came to college, they took a trip somewhere together. A best friends vacation, if you must. It was tradition and was never missed out on. Despite growing up and becoming completely different people with different goals or life plans, they stuck together and remained the best of friends all these years.
It was really sweet.
"So no amusement parks this year?" Jungkook asked in a sad tone.
"Definitely not," Jimin replied as he shook his head quickly at him.
Sighing, Jungkook leaned back in his seat and tossed a pencil at Jimin. "Boring."
"What if we just rent a house?"
All eyes ended up on Yoongi at his suggestion. When they all looked at him with confused expressions, he sighed and decided to elaborate. "I mean, we can rent a beach house for a week or two. We always take our trips at the beginning of summer anyway so it'll be hot enough. Plus, the beach is cool and-"
"We'll see plenty of hot girls in their bikinis!" Hoseok cheered out loud. Taehyung reached out and gave him a high five as he laughed and nodded his head quickly in agreement.
Jin laughed too but Namjoon rolled his eyes. Jungkook laughed under his breath after Namjoon muttered "pigs" about them.
"I'm serious. It'll be fun, despite Hoseok's and Taehyung's obvious ideas of getting laid this summer." Yoongi finished with a little nod to himself.
A very brief moment of silence passed before everyone nodded and agreed with Yoongi's idea. It was a good idea, honestly, and they all really did find it to be exciting yet so simple. It was nice!
"Well, now that that’s settled, I'm gonna go get some food. Anyone wanna come?" Jungkook asked now as he stood up from where he sat. Everyone was getting up to go now, actually.
"I'm down for some food." Taehyung nodded.
"Are you gonna pay?" Jin asked. Jungkook only glared at the older man. Taking the hint, he waved him off with his hand and a soft laugh. "Kidding. I have some things to do anyway,"
"Yeah same here," Namjoon told him. "Sorry, Kook."
Jungkook smiled with a little nod. He understood. "Yoongi? Jimin? Hoseok?"
"Gotta finish my last paper." Yoongi shrugged.
"I'm in!" Hoseok walked around to join Taehyung and Jungkook.
The three of them looked to Jimin who was still getting up and ready to go. Feeling all eyes on him, he slowly looked up to them with a curious brow arched.
Silenced filled them as they all stared at Jimin and he stared at them. It was awkward, pressuring, and weird. But funny.
Jimin started laughing as he shoved his hands into his pockets and walked around himself. "Let's just go. I'm starving."
* * * * *
"Pancakes are so good. I wonder who actually came up with the idea of pancakes. Ugh, genius."
"Could you not speak with your mouth full?" Jimin asked Taehyung before shoving his own fork full of syrup covered breakfast into his mouth.
Taehyung shrugged his shoulders carelessly as he ate quietly now before being scolded by Jimin again. Hoseok chuckled at the two of them as he ate his own food. Jungkook, who was listening to them with a smile over his own lips, watched them in amusement.
"You two argue like a married couple." Jungkook teased.
Jimin, rolling his eyes, sipped on his drink before waving a finger to Jungkook as he replied. "We are a married couple. Tae-Tae and I are madly in love, didn't you know?"
"He wishes I was in love with him." Taehyung gagged out with a look of disgust on his face.
"You guys are so annoying." Hoseok laughed as he continued to eat his own pancakes happily.
Jungkook dropped his fork onto his plate before standing up and pushing his chair in before starting to walk away wordlessly but with a smile at his friends. He went to the bathroom, handled his business, and washed his hands before coming back out after a few minutes.
As Jungkook walked out from the bathroom, he was too busy looking down at the ground and nearly ran right into another person.
"Excuse me- oh hey!" Jungkook's eyes widened when he nearly ran into you but smiled upon realizing it is, well, you. "I'm sorry ____. I wasn't paying attention."
You smiled a friendly smile to Jungkook as you shuffled back a bit. You two were quite close from nearly colliding seconds ago. "It's okay! I wasn't either."
You and Jungkook shared a class together. Sitting beside one another for a year now allowed the two of you to become friends, to say the least. Except Jungkook had the biggest crush on you and you had absolutely no idea.
Jungkook found you to be alluring. Everything you did amazed him; he was like an early teen crushing on the girl next door. He couldn't help the smile he always had when around you. You made him laugh, made him happy, made him work hard (mainly in an attempt to impress you). He thought you were beautiful in every way. Even on those days that you showed up to class in your pajamas and tangled hair because you woke up late and had to go straight to class. You were always so happy, outgoing, and you were incredibly smart.
Yeah, he definitely liked you. A lot.
"Um," you giggled softly as you glanced to the table where your own little group of friends was sitting and waiting for you. "Are you here with anyone?"
Jungkook glanced back himself to his own booth and smiled softly. Taehyung was tossing a grape into Jimin's mouth, which he caught. Hoseok clapped his hands and cheered for his "good catch!" that he shouted about.
"Actually yeah, I'm with them. The loudest table in here."
You looked back in the same direction he did but only for a short moment, wanting to keep your attention on him.
What Jungkook didn't know was that you too were crushing on him. Just as hard as he was crushing on you, honestly. Your friends never heard the end of it!
"Are we still in high school? Worried about boys and talking about how cute Jungkook's brown eyes are when he laughs?" your best friend, Soyeon, teased you once a few weeks back.
Jungkook smiled down at you as you fiddled with your fingers in front of you. Your name was being called for then. You held a finger up to your friends while keeping your eyes up on the boy in front of you.
"Do you maybe want to get together later? I have to study for our exam coming up but I seriously can't ever focus by myself so I was wondering if, you know, you wanted to do it with me. Study. For the exam. Later? If you're free?"
You were mentally slapping yourself in the face as you stumbled over your words nervously. Jungkook arched a brow at you as he looked down with an amused grin in his expression. He nodded very lightly as he let out a soft chuckle.
Jungkook found your nervous rambling absolutely adorable. "Of course. Yeah, absolutely. Text me later; we'll meet up."
"Okay great. See you!"
"Bye, ____."
You brushed a hand down Jungkook's arm as you passed by him to go to the restroom yourself. He smiled at you one last time before going back to the table where Hoseok, Jimin, and Taehyung waited for him. He jumped back into the conversation with them naturally without mentioning you.
That was the thing. Jungkook didn't mention you to any of his friends because he knew that we would never hear the end of him liking someone. They always went on about how he needed a girlfriend because they were tired of him being so lonely, especially because he wasn't the one night stand kind of guy like Hoseok and Taehyung were. Jungkook, Namjoon, and Jimin were more into having proper happy relationships and Jin just kind of went with whatever he wanted to go with at the moment. So, knowing them, they would try to pressure him into asking you out or something and he just didn't want to make you uncomfortable or anything. Considering he had no idea about your similar feelings, it was logical.
After you finished in the bathroom, you headed back towards your table but slowed down when you spotted Jungkook's table again. You admired the boy sitting there with the cutest bunny smile on his lips as he laughed with his friends. He was sweet, different, and you couldn't help but watch as he laughed so freely and happily.
Then, you heard it. A familiar laugh you never wanted to hear again. Your eyes drifted over to the opposite end of their table to Hoseok. He was the one making Jungkook laugh by doing something weird with his fork and spoon. Your heart jumped in your throat at the sight of him.
Quickly then, you rushed over to your table with your back towards Jungkook's table to hide your face.
"We need to go," you told your friends Soyeon and Soojin.
They both looked up to you with confused expressions. "What's wrong?" Soojin asked.
"Hoseok is here."
Both of them paused before glancing behind you to the table themselves. Soyeon scoffed at the sight of him and Soojin shook her head, an annoyed expression over her face now.
"Please can we go?" you asked them when neither of them said anything about this.
"Of course. Come on," Soyeon gave you a warm smile before standing up.
Soojin followed her and stood up herself. You dropped enough money on the table for the bill with enough extra for a nice tip before the three of you rushed out of the restaurant together before Hoseok could notice you here.
Hours later you were left sitting in your dorm room in the worst mood. Today started off well, got better when you saw Jungkook, then got worse when you saw Hoseok. He always manages to put you in a bad mood. What an ass, you thought to yourself.
With a tired sigh, you dropped your pen down onto your desk then rubbed your hands over your face in an attempt to feel less tired and aggravated. A knock at your door took you from your thoughts though. Had Soyeon lost her key again?
You stood up from your chair and walked over. Without thinking you just unlocked the door and opened it to let her in.
But it wasn't her.
"Hey," Jungkook greeted you with a smile over his lips. When you only stared with your mouth gaped open and a little lost, he cleared his throat before continuing on. "I'm sorry for just dropping by but you hadn't texted me back and I thought maybe you just got sucked into studying or something. I see you were sleeping though, so I apologize."
"Sleeping? No, I wasn't sleeping!" you shook your head quickly at him. Your appearance did look like you were sleeping. You stood there in an oversized tee with a pair of shorts that were hidden underneath it and your hair was in the worlds messiest bun. "I was studying actually. That's why I didn't reply, I'm sorry."
"Oh, that's okay."
"Please come in."
You stepped aside to let Jungkook in. He walked into your room and you closed the door behind him. This wasn't the first time he'd been in here. The pair of you worked on a project together earlier this year, which is how he got your number in the first place too. You talked here and there sometimes since outside of class as well. He took a seat on your bed and sighed tiredly.
Seeing him here made you feel bad for ignoring his texts today. When you saw him with Hoseok earlier, you just couldn't bring yourself to reply to him. Why would he hang out with Hoseok anyway? They were polar opposites.
"You looked worried about something," Jungkook stated as he watched you walk back over to your chair. You sat down and turned it so you were facing him now. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. It's nothing," you shook your head at him then gave a reassuring smile. "Just...  saw an ex today. It ended really badly so yanno, it's messing with my head a bit."
Jungkook nodded, understanding where you're coming from, and gave you a warm smile. "Well, his loss. You're pretty great. Don't let the douche bring you down."
A giggle bubbled from the back of your throat. He called his own friend a douche and really had no idea. You shook your head at it and waved a hand as if brushing it off.
"It's no big deal. Honestly. Old news!"
"Right," he chuckled. "Well, this is how far I got studying. What about you?"
For the next hour and a half, you and Jungkook helped each other finish studying for your upcoming exam. You shared some tips, quizzed each other, helped one another memorize things, etc. It didn't take nearly as long as you thought it would before you both were confident enough for the exam. It went by pretty quickly actually and it made you a little sad knowing he was leaving so soon.
You watched quietly as he packed his things into his bag to go.
"Hey, Jungkook?" you broke that silence. He glanced up to you with a soft hum. "How do you know Hoseok?"
"Hobi?" he asked. You nodded very lightly but he caught a glimpse of it as he looked up to you now. "We grew up together! Him and all of my friends, actually. We followed each other here and everything. Wow. I never said that out loud. How cringy."
You laughed softly. "It's not cringy. It's sweet."
"Thanks," he chuckled. "Why do you ask though?"
"Oh," you paused now. He looked at you curiously as he waited for a response. Of course, you hesitated. What if he stops talking to you because of your past with his best friend?
Before you could answer him, the dorm rooms door opened and Soyeon walked inside. She paused upon noticing Jungkook sitting on your bed before coming in properly and closing the door behind her. "Hey," she mumbled.
"Hey," you smiled at her. "How as the movie?"
"It was good!" she answered with a smile at you as she flopped down onto her bed. She looked over to Jungkook who barely glanced her way. His eyes were focused on you in front of him. She noticed how he looked at you and smiled again, but without saying why. "How's your night been together?"
"Finally got this topic down packed," you said with Jungkook nodding in agreement.
"Finally," he added. "I should probably go now though. I'm sure you ladies will be heading to bed soon and I don't wanna keep you up too late."
"Mm, what a gentleman," Soyeon teased with a grin on her lips. "Much more polite than Hoseok ever was."
Jungkook stopped where he stood from standing up. He looked at Soyeon with wide eyes before looking down to you in your chair with a shocked, and equally confused, look on his face. Soyeon noticed his expression and how mad you looked at her and cringed where she sat.
"Shit I'm sorry. I thought you asked him about it! I'm sorry!"
"I was getting there," you grumbled to her.
"You date Hoseok?"
You stook up from your chair to be more level with Jungkook. Shaking your head at him, you went on to explain the situaton to him. "Hoseok and I dated a few months ago. It lasted for like... two months? Or something. I don't know. We talked for quite some time though and it took him forever to want to be with me but even after he asked me out, he hid me. I didn't even know that you knew him! He cheated on me and that's why we broke up but before that happened we were already toxic. The hiding, the fighting because he couldn't commit like I wanted him to. It was a mess but I promise I didn't know he was your friend."
Jungkook listened to you carefully. He was taken back by the fact that Hoseok actually had a girlfriend and hid her from them. He felt many different things. Including anger hearing that he cheated on you. He also felt jealous because his best friend dated the girl he really liked. He was embarrassed because he knew he wasn't hiding his feelings very well.
When he didn't say anything, you frowned. "I saw you guys together this morning that's why I brought him up. I didn't think you would be friends with someone like him."
"Someone like him?" Jungkook asked, confused. "____, he might be bad with feelings, with commitment and love, but he's an amazing friend. I couldn't imagine not being friends with him."
"Right... I'm sorry."
He frowned and how small you made yourself. "I'm sorry he did you wrong, I really am. I still mean what I said earlier by it being his loss. And being a douche." you smiled small at him. "Look, it's okay! It isn't your fault he hid you away. I'll see you on Monday okay?"
"Okay,"
"Goodnight, ____."
You waved him off with a soft smile. After walking him to the door and closing it behind him, you turned to face Soyeon and held your hands up with wide eyes.
"Thanks, Soyeon!"
She flinched where she sat and held her hands up in defense. "I'm sorry! I didn't know you hadn't gotten to the point yet. It's your fault for not hurrying up!"
Sometimes, you really wondered why you dealt with this girl.
When Monday pulled around, Jungkook talked to you like he normally would before knowing about you and Hoseok. He didn't even bring it up to you or hint about it at all. Which, you were thankful for. You really didn't want to talk about it. Especially not with the boy you were interested in.
"Thank gosh this is the last week of school before summer. I'm exhausted," you whined to Jungkook as the two of you walked across the courtyard together.
Your class had ended about ten minutes ago now. Jungkook laughed beside you but nodded in agreement because he felt the same way. "What's your plans for the summer?"
"Going on some vacation with my family," you smiled up at him. "My parents, Soyeon, and Soojin. Then I'll be back home until it's time to come back here. What about you?" you asked him.
Jungkook shrugged his shoulders as he thought about it. "I'm not too sure. I do know that I'm going on a trip with my friends for a couple of weeks but after that, I'm probably gonna work to save up some money."
"How many of you are there anyway? Just the four at breakfast?"
He smiled over at you, appreciating your interest. "Seven actually. There's Jin, Yoongi, Hoseok, Namjoon, Jimin, Taehyung, and myself."
"Seven?" your eyes widened a bit. The two of you took a seat together on a bench that was hidden underneath some shade from a large tree to hide from the sun for a bit. "Geeze. I can barely keep up with Soyeon and Soojin sometimes."
Jungkook chuckled softly. "It's a challenge for sure. They're important to me though."
You smiled over at him. He sat close to you; your elbows were touching and your thighs were gently pressed together. Despite how hot it was outside, it was nice having him close. You weren't exactly sure if you'd see him again for the next few months considering you were both going separate ways for the summer.
"Tell me how you guys met," you said softly.
Jungkook's expression was soft while talking about them. He seemed content when they were involved. "Well, I met Namjoon first. He was nice, like an older brother almost. He introduced me to Jin and Yoongi, then I met Jimin when he moved next door to me one year and I introduced him to them. Jimin knew Taehyung who knew Hoseok and the rest is history. We all spent nearly every day together after meeting."
"Even following each other to college."
"Exactly!"
"It's sweet," you nudged his elbow with yours a little. "Having friends you're so close with. You seem to really care about them."
He smiled again. "I do. What about your friends though? Tell me how you met them."
"Well Soyeon and I knew each other first." you started. Jungkook's eyes were on you as you spoke. "We met in primary school and met Soojin years down the line when heading to high school. She fit in with the two of us perfectly. She was a missing piece that we didn't even know we were missing until she came around. They're wonderful, honestly, and we too followed one another to college."
"Meant to be together," Jungkook said softly. "Friends are nice."
You hummed in agreement. "They are."
"I'm glad we met."
You looked over to the boy beside you. Eyes meeting his, you couldn't help the smile that painted your lips. "I'm really glad we met too."
Jungkook eyed you silently. It wasn't a bad silence or an awkward stare. It was almost intimate. His eyes didn't leave yours as he admired you at this moment. Being around you was more than enough to make him feel at ease. It was a feeling he wanted all of the time. He wanted you around all of the time.
"____, I really like-"
"Jungkoooooook!" a voice sang in the distance.
Both Jungkook and yourself looked to the left where it came from. Two boys came walking over with grins on their faces. They looked at you in amusement as Jungkook groaned at the absolute terrible timing they had.
"Jimin. Jin. What do you want?" Jungkook asked beside you.
"We're meeting up with everyone at that sushi place, come on," Jin said to him as he waved a hand in a motion to get him to stand up off of the bench.
"Wait wait, he may be busy with his pretty friend here. Hi! I'm Jimin!" the shorter boy held out a hand to you with the biggest smile on his plump lips. "And you are?" he asked you kindly.
Reaching out, you took his hand in yours and shook it gently. "____. Nice to meet you,"
"Do you wanna join us for some food?" Jin asked you after introducing himself as well so he wasn't being rude. "I could cover you. Any friend of JK's is a friend of mine."
"That's really sweet but I wouldn't want to intrude. Thank you though!" Jin nodded understandingly. You stood up with Jungkook then and took a deep breath. "Text me later?" you asked Jungkook softly.
He nodded once. "Of course."
"Great. It was lovely meeting you both." you smiled to Jin and Jimin before giving Jungkook a happy smile. Turning on your heels, you waved to the three of them before heading in the direction of your dorm.
They were nice enough to wait for you to be out of view before teasing Jungkook.
"She was cute, Kookie! When were you gonna tell us about your girlfriend, huh?" Jin teased his younger friend as he put his arm over his shoulder and pulled him into his side.
Jimin laughed beside them as the three of them walked towards Jin's car to go out to meet up with the rest of their friends. Jungkook groaned in annoyance as he pushed Jin away from him, but did so with a smile over his face.
"She isn't my girlfriend. As much as I would like for her to be," he confessed to them. "We are just friends."
"That's sad." Jimin sighed. "Just make your move, man. She's clearly into you."
Jungkook shrugged his shoulders. It wasn't that he didn't want to, because he really did, but he started feeling guilty for having feelings knowing you were with Hoseok a few months ago. He felt like he was going to hurt Hoseok. He almost told you how much he liked you right before Jin and Jimin interrupted him. That must be a sign, right? That it's a bad idea? Who knows, he thought to himself.
Hours later, Jungkook sat at a rounded table with all six of his closest friends. They all stuffed their faces with food as they talked and laughed. Everything around them disappeared as they enjoyed each others company and ate together.
Until Jimin spoke up.
"Jungkook was with a girl today."
"What!?" Namjoon and Taehyung gasped out loud, both shocked more than the others.
Hoseok and Yoongi widened their eyes and started smiling, but were quiet about their surprise. Jin and Jimin laughed at the betrayal on Jungkook's face.
"She was really cute too," Jin added with a nod before shoving another sushi roll in his mouth.
"You got a girlfriend and didn't tell us?" Hoseok teased him with bright eyes. "Do tell us now!"
As badly as Jungkook wanted to call him out for doing the same thing months ago, he didn't. He put on a smile instead and shook his head. "We're just friends."
"Who clearly like each other!" Jimin rolled his eyes. "They were very close and smiley while together. She even gave him "the look" before walking away. Don't let him fool you."
"There was no look!"
Jin laughed at his denial. "Yes, there was."
"Stop ganging up on me," Jungkook complained to Jin and Jimin before huffing softly.
Namjoon laughed then hushed them softly. "What's her name?"
Jungkook froze at his question. All eyes were on him and it made him uncomfortable. He was put on the spot. This is what he wanted to avoid this whole time. Jungkook nervously glanced around them all slowly before his eyes landed on Hoseok beside him.
"Um," Jungkook cleared his throat. "____. Her name is ____."
"Pretty," Taehyung said with a soft smile. "Is she nice?"
He nodded. "Really nice."
"That's great!"
Jungkook smiled at Taehyung. Hesitating then, he looked over to Hoseok once again. His smile was gone now as he looked at Jungkook. The way Jungkook answered so nervously and the way he kept eyeing him, Hobi just knew exactly who he was speaking about. Without mentioning it though, he only wished Jungkook the best before eating his food quietly.
The rest of dinner passed by as it had started; fun and happily. Except for Hoseok, who kept getting lost in his own thoughts. After everyone finished eating nearly two hours later, they all left to go their separate ways to go back to their own dorms. After a while, it was just Yoongi, Hoseok, and Jungkook who were still there. Yoongi ended up leaving shortly after everyone else did, leaving Hoseok and Jungkook alone.
Silence took over the table when it was just them two. Jungkook knew something was going to be said. He straightened his posture and cleared his throat, getting ready to say something but was stopped when Hoseok spoke out.
"Is she okay?" he asked Jungkook almost hesitantly. "Last time I saw ____, she was crying. She pushed me out of her dorm and that was the last time we spoke. I just want to know if she's okay."
Jungkook was surprised but nodded. "She's doing great. She's happy."
"Happy with you?"
"We aren't together."
Hoseok looked over at Jungkook rather than eyeing his plate. Jungkook was already looking his way. Hoseok, sighing, shook his head. "I hurt her bad."
"I know." Jungkook licked his lips, feeling a little uneasy having this conversation. "She told me what happened. Why did you hide her from us?"
"I didn't mean to, honestly." now, Hoseok relaxed back in his seat and adverted his gaze down to his empty plate again while speaking. "I never do well with feelings and relationships. I didn't want one but she did. She wanted to be more than fuck buddies." Jungkook cringed at that. "So I agreed one night while I was drunk. It wasn't for me, the relationship. I'm not interested in them enough to care. I did cheat and I know it was wrong. But I can't change any of that. I didn't say anything because I was going to end it. There was nothing to tell."
Jungkook frowned. There was regret in Hoseok's voice when he spoke. He really didn't mean to hurt you. Although Jungkook didn't condone cheating or any reasons behind it, he still felt pity for his friend. Hobi is a nice guy and he knows that.
"If you want her you should go and get her." Hoseok went on.
"But won't that be weird?" Jungkook asked a little confused.
Hoseok laughed beside him. Shaking his head lightly, he sat up as he prepared to leave. "Definitely not. Well, not for me. It's up to her I guess. And you."
* * * * * *
The rest of the week passed by in a blur. It was the last week, so everyone was rushing to plan life back at home and on their vacations or the next few days. Professors didn't care much about their lessons. It was calm yet fun. Weird but true.
Jungkook spent a lot more time with you too. Every day after class, he walked you back to your dorm. He even slipped his fingers between yours and held your hand as he walked you there. You two texted more often and he even called you once or twice just this week.
All the guilt he was feeling faded after Hoseok found out about Jungkook's feelings and said it was okay. You were over Hoseok and focused on Jungkook rather than his friendship with your ex-whatever. It was just a week, a short week, but it was lively.
Now as you sat in the grass after class with Jungkook laying beside you with his head on your lap, you felt content. It was the last day. Everyone was preparing to leave tonight and in the mornings. It was a little sad. Neither you nor Jungkook was rushing to leave either.  Instead, you sat in the shade contently while watching people pass by on their bikes or simply walking. Your fingers were running through Jungkook's tangled locks of hair, his eyes were closed with his hands folded together over his stomach.
Feelings hadn't been confessed exactly but they were obvious. It made you happy. You were happy.
"Your hair is a mess," you whispered out to him.
Jungkook smiled up at you without opening his eyes. "Yeah but you're having a wonderful time fixing it." you giggled softly at him and poked his forehead.
"Is it nap time?" a voice asked behind you.
Tilting your head up, you looked back to see Soojin and Soyeon standing there with teasing grins. You laughed at them but shook your head. "Just relaxing. Where are you two going?"
"Nowhere. We came to find you because you didn't come back to the dorm room." Soyeon said as she and Soojin came around and sat in front of you and Jungkook.
Jungkook opened his eyes now and looked over at them just as you did.
"You ditched us for your boyfriend? That's cold, man." Soojin pouted.
"That was my fault. Sorry," Jungkook started.
Soyeon held a hand out to him and shook her head quickly. "Do not apologize! It's about time you two love birds accept fate and be together."
You rolled your eyes at them and giggled softly. "Shut up before I tell my parents that neither of you can come on vacation with us suddenly."
"That's harsh," Soojin pouted.
Jungkook laughed with you. He sat up off of your lap, leaving you pouting, but stayed sitting beside you. "Where are you guys going anyway?" he asked.
"No idea. My parents haven't said." you leaned into him a bit.
Smiling, Jungkook placed a hand on your thigh and pulled you closer to him. Soyeon and Soojin smiled at one another as they watched the two of you be so affectionate together.
"Isn't this so cute!" Taehyung's voice came out of nowhere as he flopped down on the other side of Jungkook. "Hey, ____. Hey, ____'s friends."
You got to meet Taehyung the other day when he was walking with Jungkook to class. He's nice, and he makes you laugh. His blue hair was quite interesting.
"Hey," you smiled over at him. Soojin waved at him and Soyeon smiled kindly.
"What's up Tae?" Jungkook asked him.
Taehyung tore his eyes from your friends and his very many thoughts and smiled at Jungkook. "Hm? Oh, nothing. I just saw you cuddling over here and came to bother you. You two are so beautiful, holy shit."
You bubbled into laughter at his very random and sudden compliments to your friends. They both giggled themselves but rolled their eyes at his current eye-fucking as he eyed them both.
"Whoa is this a friends party? Hello, ladies." Jin came up with Namjoon and Jimin at his sides. The three of them sat down and joined your now little group.
The quiet and relaxing moment you had with Jungkook was gone as all of your friends joined. Even Yoongi came and sat down himself. Hoseok, who was with him, hesitated a bit when seeing you but joined anyway.
Soojin and Soyeon eyed him from their positions but you gave them a look of your own for them not to say or do anything. Despite what happened, you were letting it go. Considering Jungkook's words last weekend about Hoseok being a really good friend, you didn't want to get in the way of them in any shape or form.
"I like this! More people, bigger group, more fun." Jimin said as all ten of you sat together talking and laughing together. "Good job on getting a girlfriend, Jungkook. It made us a better group."
"I thought we were okay before," Yoongi huffed.
"Yeah but now there are boobs." Taehyung pointed a finger to Yoongi.
Hoseok reached out and gave Tae a high five, making everyone laugh. Even you laughed at them despite how perverted it was.
"I love how everyone keeps calling us boyfriend and girlfriend yet we aren't even dating," Jungkook said to you.
You snorted into a laugh. "I know. I think it's funny."
"Wait, you haven't asked her yet? What are you waiting for?" Namjoon asked confused.
Jungkook shrugged his shoulders at Namjoon. He then looked around at all of them with a playful look of annoyance on his face. "Maybe I'm waiting for all of you to not be up in our asses for once."
All eight of your friends gasped in unison. All looking offended and hurt, Soojin started to yell at him. "____, Soyeon, and I are a package deal! You get her, you get us!"
"Same with us!" Jin agreed with her. "We are a freaking package deal."
"They're like our children," you mumbled to Jungkook. "They can't give us space or privacy."
The ten of you sat together for the next few hours, honestly, talking about the most random things. From switching positions between laying down in the grass, standing, or sitting, none of you left. It was as if all of you had known each other for years and didn't start as strangers at the beginning of this week.
All this laughter and happiness made you sad knowing it happened at the very last minute before summer before all of you left and went different ways for the next few months. You wanted more evenings like this. It was fun and relaxing and you felt so comfortable with everyone. Even Hoseok. Being with Jungkook made everything feel better. You just felt happy now with him here.
You also got to see how much different of a person Hoseok was with friends rather than girls he was sleeping with. Jungkook was right when saying he was a good friend. He was, you could see that now.
Before anyone knew it, the sun was down and it was time to go back to your dorm rooms. Everyone stood up out of the grass together and brushed the dirt from their knees and bottoms. Sighing, you gave Jungkook's hand a little squeeze.
"I'll text you tomorrow. I have to finish packing up a few things tonight."
"Okay," he frowned. "Be careful going home okay? I won't be here tomorrow to see you off. We leave early in the morning." Jungkook said, speaking out for him and the six of his close friends.
You nodded at him and gave him a warm smile. "We'll talk every day."
"Yeah?"
"Absolutely."
"Good," he smiled happily.
You paused while looking up into his eyes, which you seemed to be doing a lot these days. He had the prettiest brown eyes. Your voice was nearly a whisper when you spoke again. "Don't wait too much longer to ask me. I want to be yours, officially."
"I won't wait much longer. I just want the perfect moment." Jungkook assured you. "I promise."
"Okay," you leaned into him, pressing a gentle kiss to his cheek. "Goodnight Jungkook."
"Goodnight, ____."
Everyone waved and wished one another goodnight before going separate ways. The three girls and all seven boys went off in opposite directions to get ready to go home for the summer.
* * * * * * * * "Oh, I SO call dibs on this room! Look at this view!" Soyeon yelled as she walked into the biggest room with windows that gave her the perfect view to the beach.
You followed behind her inside with Soojin at your side. Your mother, who trailed behind you, laughed at the excitement. "All three of you girls have this room. It's the biggest one. Your father and I will take the room downstairs," she finished telling you.
"Thank you!" Soojin and Soyeon cheered excitedly as they set their suitcases down near the wall.
You giggled softly seeing them so happy. You turned to your mother and gave her a hug. "Thanks, ma. We'll be down to go out to dinner after settling in."
Your mother whispered a soft okay as she smiled before leaving you to it. You rushed over excitedly to the glass doors in the room that led out to a balcony; sliding them open, you stepped outside and took in a deep breath of the air.
The little vacation your parents planned was just a trip to a beach house for half of the summer. It was a simple idea, but you were so excited about it. It was nice, and it was even better that they let you bring Soyeon and Soojin with you. Especially considering you had no siblings and they could go out and do things with you on the boardwalk.
"It's such a pretty view," Soojin said beside you as she walked out to see the balcony herself.
"It really is!" you agreed.
You both admired the view of the beach out in front of the house. You were ready to go relax in the sand now, but there were dinner reservations to go to in about an hour.
Your phone started ringing in your back pocket, taking you from your thoughts. Reaching behind you and pulling it out, you excused yourself from your friends and walked back into the room.
Jungkook's name flashed on the screen, making you smile. It's been nearly two weeks since you all left for the summer and saw each other, but Jungkook made sure to keep talking to you every day. It was the sweetest.
"Hello?" you answered his call.
"Hey," his voice came in from the other line. "Make it to your vacation spot yet?"
The sound of his voice made you feel relaxed. You smiled to yourself. "Yeah. Just got here. It's a really cute beach house actually. Near the boardwalk! It's cool." Jungkook paused for a moment when he heard where you were. You noticed it too. "You okay?"
"What? Yeah. Just, uh, what beach?" telling him the name of it, he started laughing on the other side of the phone. "____, go outside for a second."
"Huh? Why?"
"Just do it. Please!"
"Okay, okay, don't get your panties in a bunch geeze." you teased.
Listening to him, you made your way downstairs and outside. You walked down into the sand on your own and took a deep breath. "Okay, I'm outside. Why did I have to do this?"
"Because," he hummed on the line. "I'm staying next door. Look."
Your heart started to race at his words. You started to look around in a panic to see if he was serious. Your head spun in different directions as you looked around to the houses near yours. As you spun around the third time, you finally saw him. Jungkook walked out into the sand himself with his phone up to his ear.
No words left your mouth at the sight of him. Just seeing him made your whole body fill with excitement. You hung up the call quickly and ran over to meet him. Jungkook, who met you halfway, picked you up in his arms as you jumped into them. Wrapping your legs around his waist, he held you up in a big hug with a gentle kiss to your shoulder.
"I thought it would be months before I saw you again!" you said out into his hair as you held onto him.
"I know, I know. Oh gosh. I've missed you," Jungkook confessed to you.
You wiggled in his arms a bit to get down. Jungkook got the hint and set you down on your feet, but you kept your body close to his as the two of you kept your arms around one another. You looked up into his eyes again and started smiling wide.
"I missed you too, Jungkook."
Jungkook reached up with one of his hands and brushed a strand of your hair from your face that fell from your ponytail. Taking a deep breath, he spoke softly as he rested his hand on your cheek, caressing it gently. "I found it."
"Found what?" you asked confused.
"The perfect moment," Jungkook smiled. "This is it."
Your mind wandered back to your last day seeing him. You started smiling big, your eyes shining in excitement. You didn't say anything though and just waited to hear those words. Realizing this, Jungkook tilted his head very slightly.
"____, will you be my girlfriend?"
You nodded your head quickly at him unable to stop your happiness from showing as boldly as it was. "Yes, of course."
Without another moment to waste, Jungkook leaned in and pressed his lips to yours. A feeling the both of you long waited to feel. His lips against yours felt perfect; they were warm, soft, and he moved his lips so slowly against yours. The kiss was far more passionate than you ever planned your first to be, but it was perfect.
Everything was perfect.
Until... "Oh hell no. Jungkook's girlfriend is our neighbor?!" Taehyung yelled from the door of their home.
Ruining the moment completely, both you and Jungkook pulled away to look over in Tae's direction. Five other heads poked out from behind him. It was quite a funny sight, seeing all of them watching you two. Soojin and Soyeon even came outside to see where you had gone.
As all ten of you looked between one another, many things were mumbled softly before Jin spoke out.
"Beaches, booze, boardwalks and ten horny adults all living side by side? This will make an interesting two weeks."
You looked up at Jungkook, who had already looked down at you himself. A grin spread over his lips and you started smiling yourself.
This indeed was going to be a very interesting, and unplanned, summer. And you were so ready for it.

Andrew’s Top 10 Kpop Title Tracks of 2018
Hello again, it’s me. Yes, I’m still trying to make this a thing. Nobody cared in 2015, then my 2016 list got a decent amount of notes, then that dropped off by a lot for my 2017 list, so we’ll see what happens this time. I hope there’s even a couple folks out there that enjoy reading this, but even if there’s not, I still enjoy putting it together and writing it, so here we are. Quick refresher on how this works, I limit myself to title tracks (and/or songs that have a MV and were promoted), link their MVs, and then give a quick write-up of why I picked them, all listed in descending order from 10 to 1. I’ve changed the name from “Top 10 Songs” to “Top 10 Title Tracks” because I’m thinking of doing a separate list for b-sides or non-Korean releases. On that note, let’s get it; list under the break~
10. KHAN - I’m Your Girl?
Tumblr media
The tenth spot on my list is always a dogfight, and my honorable mentions list is always long. This year, the debut song for KHAN (composed of former The Ark members Jeon Minju and Euna Kim) won the fight, and I’m not gonna lie, a solid part of why is based in the gay undertones of this song and MV (and honestly, they’re really not undertones, the lyrics are pretty frank about it). Honestly, though, I just really adore the chemistry Euna and Minju have always had together, and I’m so happy they’re back making music together. I’m Your Girl isn’t the fanciest song out there, but it is a bop and a half and will definitely be one of the songs I think of in future when I remember 2018.
9. gugudan - Not That Type
Tumblr media
At spot nine, there was another fight, but it was between songs by the same group. The loser of that song will appear in my honorable mentions later. As for the winner, Not That Type was something I’d been hoping gugudan would do ever since they debuted. Their Produce 101 trio (Sejeong, Mina, Nayoung) have always had a certain sass and badassery about them, and even in previous comebacks you could see the other members had it in them, too. This is the song they needed to let it out, and boy did they. This track and MV had an attitude we don’t see much as of late, and the song managed to have that attitude without seeming try-hard or having an overplayed sound. One particular thing it did that I really liked was how it never entered the chorus the same way or on the same beat, keeping the listener on their toes. All in all, a breakout song for gugudan that had to make my list.
8. IZ*ONE - La Vie en Rose
Tumblr media
This song, at number eight on my list, took some growing on me. When it came out, I never pictured it being on my Top 10 of the year. In fact, I didn’t even think I’d listen to it much at all. However, there’s just something about it, something about the chorus, that made it unforgettable to me. It worked its way into my brain and wouldn’t leave. Still to this day it won’t leave. It’s quickly become one of my most-played songs of the year. I followed Produce 48 all the way through, and while I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the final lineup, I must say they’ve really grown on me. Whoever produced this song did a brilliant job, because each member has a part that fits them like a glove, and no one really feels either over or under-exposed (though I could certainly ask for a couple more lines for Nako). Just a very solid song from a dynamic group that deserved to make my list.
7. Sunmi - Siren
Tumblr media
Dropping in at spot number seven for the second year in a row is everyone’s favorite lesbian and best follow on twitter, Sunmi. Does she release anything other than bops? I think not. She revealed recently that this song was actually originally a Wonder Girls production, and released a quick snippet of the original recording from WG as a band in 2016. While I most definitely wish we could’ve heard the full group’s take on Siren, I’m glad Sunmi revisited the track and made it her own, ‘cause it’s really a stroke of catchy genius. Get away outta my face! More like get away outta my head. I just could not justify keeping this song off my list, not with how often I find myself subconsciously singing or whistling it.
6. WJSN - Save Me, Save You
Tumblr media
Another artist that released multiple jams this year, WJSN comes in at number six. While I loved Dreams Come True, there was just something very special about Save Me, Save You. It felt like they finally nailed their sound again. The last time they truly hit it on the head was with Secret, and it feels like they’ve been trying to get back there ever since. Well, they did it here. This track has exactly that dreamlike quality to it, that beautiful cosmic sound that their name would lead you to expect. Add in nearly properly balanced line distribution (except for Dawon, #JusticeForDawon), and a particularly interesting choreography, and you’ve got a recipe for one of the best songs of the year. With their next comeback on the horizon, I’m hoping they can continue the trend.
5. (G)I-DLE - Hann
Tumblr media
IDLE really leapt onto the scene in 2018 with their debut, but it’s their followup effort that makes my list at spot number five. The main thing I can say about IDLE is that, as rookies, they have no business being this good. They’re all incredibly talented, their stage presence is off the charts, and both of their title tracks thus far are certified bops. Rookies don’t do that! Yet, here they are. The chorus of Hann is simply unforgettable, both musically and visually. Vocals, raps, visuals, choreo, this song has everything you could ever want and it has them in spades, which is why it leads off the top half of this list.
4. GFriend - Time for the Moon Night
Tumblr media
It wouldn’t be a kpop Top 10 without GFriend on it, and here they are at number four. If you’ll recall, I was probably the world’s biggest fan of their first “different” release, Fingertip, naming it my Song of the Year in 2017. TFTMN arrived as their second effort at a more mature concept, and I think they really killed it here. Not only is this track a more mature GFriend, but it is also still very distinctly GFriend. For their entire career, these girls have had a sound all their own, and TFTMN proved unequivocally that they can maintain their signature sound while striding into new conceptual territories, and for that alone it would make my Top 10 of 2018. It certainly isn’t hurt by the fact that the chorus is incredibly memorable, the melancholy-yet-upbeat tone is right up my alley, and the choreo is dope as hell.
3. fromis_9 - Love Bomb
Tumblr media
The song that made me fall all the way in love with what is now essentially my second bias group comes in at number three. Honestly, I was actually expecting this to be my Song of the Year for 2018, but a couple other songs reminded me who’s boss. That’s to say nothing against Love Bomb, of course. I mean, imagine a single song making you fall head-over-heels in love with a group whose names you didn’t even know! Going into this release, I legitimately only knew Gyuri (from Produce 48) and Jiwon (way back from SIXTEEN). Now, a couple months later, I know them all better than I ever thought I would. As for the song, this is honestly one of the happiest songs that came out this year. By that I mean that it never fails to put me in a good mood. There’s just something truly special about this song. Moreso even than the song, it’s the girls’ singing; they have a way about them, where they always seem to put feeling into how they deliver lines. I can feel this song, and it wouldn’t change that even if there were no instrumental included; their singing is so incredibly emotional, it’s just special.
2. Chungha - Roller Coaster
Tumblr media
The earliest release to make it on my list this year, coming in at number two is one of the bops of a great month of January, Roller Coaster by Chungha. I’ll be honest, this song really had a good argument for being #1 on the list. If producers went into the studio and said “we need to make the perfect song for Andrew,” this is what would’ve come from it. It’s funny, actually, because if you go back to when this was first released, I was lukewarm on it, but now it’s one of my most-listened to songs. The song has nearly every musical element that I love; it’s got that retro sound, those good synths, a gorgeous voice, upbeat, catchy, great choreo. I couldn’t ask for any more, other than to have her do more songs in this style because she absolutely kills it.
1. Red Velvet - Bad Boy
Tumblr media
January was truly a great month for kpop songs, and Red Velvet’s Bad Boy has stood the test of time, making it all the way from January to year-end to claim the title of my Song of the Year for 2018. As I said when Bad Boy dropped, “Well fuck. Good luck, literally everyone else. I don’t see this being passed up as my song of the year for 2018.” Here we now stand, and that holds true. I said that Roller Coaster is the perfect “me” song, and it is. Bad Boy, though, is the perfect “me” song for my other main love in kpop; laid-back R&B. Everyone always seems to love the Red side of their music more, but I’ve always been about the Velvet side, and Bad Boy really gave me the perfect Velvet song. It’s everything I ever wanted from Red Velvet, and I’m not sure they’ll ever pass it up for me.
We’re at the end! As always, if you’ve read to this point, I love you, I thank you, and bless you. I’m not a professional writer or music critic, but I love putting together this list every year, and even if only one person reads it and finds it truly interesting, then it was worthwhile. I’m very proud of this list and the work I put into it, and I just hope y’all enjoy it. I began this list on January 1st, but it is now the 2nd (this seems to be a theme for me with this). That said, I wish you all a happy new year, and here’s to another great year of kpop!

TWICE’s Dahyun always looks effortlessly put together. Check out these 10 easy tips that you can incorporate into your everyday style to elevate your OOTDs! 1. Dress up a simple outfit with accessories.  Dahyun dresses up a base outfit of a black turtleneck and jeans with her funky hat and a leather jacket. Using different coats, purses, and more can keep the outfit feeling brand new every time you rock it!     2. One-pieces are the easiest way to go.  Rompers, jumpsuits, even dresses — All of these things require almost no effort in the morning but still look equally as chic. Next time you’re running late, grab a go-to romper that takes away the pain of matching tops and bottoms.     3. Use different fits.  She combines a form-fitting top with some loose pants for a cool and casual silhouette. On the contrary, if you’d rather show off your lower body, go for some skinny jeans and a baggy t-shirt or sweater.     4. Get tomboy-ish.  Dahyun isn’t afraid to rock something super comfy. Follow her lead and keep the outfit looking put together with a cute beanie and structured bag.     5. Being matchy-matchy is okay.  It might bring you back to the days of your mom dressing you in matching outfits for Kindergarten, but when executed correctly like Dahyun’s yellow combo, the whole “matching” aesthetic looks super neat.     6. Denim is so versatile.  If you’re stumped for a summer outfit, start with a denim skirt or shorts. Since just about everything looks good with it, you can do no wrong!     7. Overalls can be chic AF.  Maybe regular overalls feel a bit juvenile, but a white pair is totally summer fashion approved! Pair it with a nautical top like Dahyun for the ultimate beach babe vibes.     8. Try a solid look with a pop of color.  Her cute beret stands out against her all-black outfit. Alternatively, you can execute the look in a more eye-catching way with an all-white outfit and a red bag.     9. Use black accessories to tone down a look.  Dahyun goes for bold reds in this unique outfit but keeps it from being over the top with some black boots and a black bag.     10. Become a pastel princess.  From her hair to her cozy coat and scarf, she totally belongs in soft colors. I mean, who doesn’t feel their best in a mermaid palette?   Here's The Surprising Full Story Of How (G)I-DLE's Yuqi Went From Child Genius To K-Pop Star by Korea Stars TV
