jungkook was being messy and he knew it. he knew he shouldn't have told you about the necklace. it wasn't his business. but for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to stay quiet. hoseok was in love with you. hoseok knew it, jungkook knew it, and everyone else knew it. except you.
after ordering your entrees, you fiddle with a loose thread on the table cloth and think. what jungkook said made sense to you. what didn't make sense is why he would give the necklace to you without telling you what it meant. without telling you the feelings he has for you. and it is for that exact reason that you decide jungkook has to be wrong.
the necklace might have initially been for the woman hoseok loves, but you were certain he just wanted to give it to you because you became so close over the years. you were practically brother and sister. you would know if there was something more going on.
the food arrives and jungkook perks up in his seat. he thanks the waitress and licks his lips as he watches the spread of food be placed onto the table. honestly speaking, there was a lot of food between the two of you.
jungkook ordered pasta carbonara with a side of chicken and you ordered fettuccine alfredo with a side of steak. however, since you both were tempted to also get other things, a plate of spaghetti and meatballs sat in between you two. jungkook insisted on getting it for you two to share. who were you to say no.
jungkook cuts a piece of his chicken with his fork before adding some of his pasta, creating the perfect bite. you begin to cut up your steak as you watch him, giggling softly as he falls back into his seat with his eyes closed while chewing his food.
"you seem to do that a lot when you eat."
jungkook swallows his food before quickly prepping another bite. "only when the food is good. it deserves the love."
you nod in agreement. "i can understand that" you say before taking your first bite. your eyes widen as you look at him and nod quickly. "mmm this is so good!"
jungkook chuckles as he nods quickly and continues to eat. "this place is the best."
you take another bite of your food and clap excitedly before reaching for the plate in front of you and taking a meatball on your fork. you take a bite of the meatball and let out a hum of satisfaction as you sit back in your seat. "mmm this is the best meatball i've ever had!"
jungkook watches you and pouts as he bounces in his seat excitedly. "i wanna try! i wanna try!"
you've never seen this side of jungkook. granted you haven't known him long, but you never expected him to be so . . . cute when it came to food. his aesthetic was on the darker side due to his favoritism towards the color black, the multiple piercings he had, and his impressively designed tattoo sleeve. but on the inside jungkook seemed to be sweet and almost innocent.
you were only getting a glimpse of this side of him, but something inside you craved to see it more often. unknowingly, you craved to really get to know him.
you giggle and nod quickly as you lean across the table and hold your fork up to his mouth so he could eat the remaining portion of the meatball. jungkook licks his lips and leans forward as his eyes slowly meet yours.
you look into his eyes as he takes the bite off your fork and let out a quiet breath. you knew his eyes were dark, but seeing them this close made you realize just how dark they were. his eyes were so dark that they held a certain depth to them. there was a story behind his eyes. and you were eager to know what that story was.
jungkook's gaze was intense as he chewed. neither one of you dared to move. it was almost as if something was pulling the two of you towards each other, begging you to stay close. you weren't going to fight it.
you eyes flicker to his lip piercings as a little sauce gets on them. surely he's going to clean it off. but he's too focused on you. taking advantage of the moment, jungkook inspects every inch of your face. he's never seen you this close. he's been this close before, yes. but he never got to pay attention to your features.
he sure as hell was going to take the chance to do so now. being occupied with his little personal mission of noticing every beauty mark you have, he doesn't notice the sauce on his lip rings. but you do.
you slowly lift your hand to his lips. you shouldn't. you really really shouldn't. but you want to. so you do it.
you gently wipe your thumb across his lip to take the sauce off. his lip rings are cold, but more importantly his lips are soft. really really soft.
as you look back up into his eyes time suddenly slows. everything around you blurs, and all the sounds become muffled. in this moment, theres only you and jungkook. looking into each others eyes as you wipe sauce from his lips.
people often say that you'll find your person when you least expect it. some say fireworks will go off when you come in contact with the love of your life. some say your breathing will sync and the two of you will become one. some say it happen's with a stranger. some say it happens with someone you've known for years. you never knew who to believe. love wasn't something you ever worried about because, although you were uncertain of how it would happen or who it would happen with, you knew it would happen one day.
in this very moment you wonder if this is what people meant. but it can't be. you were simply wiping jungkook's mouth. there was no physical intimacy. no kissing. no profession of love. you haven't even known him for that long.
but the two of you were caught in a beautiful moment. so beautiful in fact, that all your other senses were clouded.
which is why you don't pay attention to the fact that two guys have walked into the restaurant. you can only focus on jungkook.
taehyung walks into the restaurant and pauses when he spots you two. hoseok follows after him and furrows his brows, wondering why he stopped so suddenly. he follows taehyung's gaze and his smile immediately falls. his heart drops.
