"Meeting you was fate...
Becoming your friend was a choice...
But falling in love with you I had no control over."

Jungkook's POV

I couldn't think straight. I couldn't fathom what had happened just now.

Did she just kiss my cheek?

I traced my fingers over my cheek, where the touch of her soft lips still lingered.

After doing the dishes, I came out, my mind clouded by Taraa's action.

"JUNGKOOK! ARE YOU LISTENING?!" Tae-hyung, who was sitting on the couch, shouted, looking at me with wide eyes.

"Uh...huh." I barely let out the words.

"Back to earth, Kook. I was calling you for the past 30 seconds." Tae-hyung said, his voice back to normal.

"Sorry, hyung. Say, why were you calling?" I asked.

"Please give me the strawberries kept in the fridge." he requested. I nodded and turned around only to be stopped by him once again.

"And why are your ears so red?" he asked, his eyes narrowed.

I looked at Taraa, who had just came and stood behind Taehyung, making a ponytail with his hair.

Her eyes met mine momentarily, and she smirked.

I gulped visibly, making Taehyung look behind him with investigative gaze, while she just smiled innocently at him.

"Are they? That must be your imagination." I said confidently, and returned to the kitchen.

Just you wait, princess. I will get back at you.

Taraa's POV

I was feeling overwhelmed after that little action of mine. I don't even know myself from where I got the courage to do that and now I even felt like I should not have done it.

Other than that, I was feeling kinda bored today as I didn't even want to do anything due to post-fever laziness.

I decided to go to Namjoon's room and maybe ask him to give me some good book to read. I returned to the same spot on the couch holding Me Before You. It had been on my to-read list for quite sometime, and when Namjoon gave it to me, I decided to start it right away.

Sitting beside me, Jimin was watching something intently on his phone, with earphones plugged in.

I was immersed in the book, when Jimin got up and almost ran somewhere. I didn't pay much attention and went back to reading.

A phone ring made me remove my eyes from the page and look beside me. It was Jimin's phone that was ringing and was turned upside down.

I ignored it for a moment, but then picked it up.

Soulmate💕

That would be none other than Taehyung.

I accepted the call and only when I heard Taehyung's voice from the other side, did I say something.

"Jiminie?"

"He went somewhere and left his phone here." I informed Taehyung, who had gone to their dorms to get a few things.
