"Why are we here?" you ask with narrowed eyes, eyeing your best friend whose cheeks are puffed up with pork belly.
"We are on a date." he answers with a obvious tone.
"I got that from your single message." you roll your eyes, remembering the message you got when you barely got home.
It's Tuesday, it's not even the middle of the week, and you definitely weren't expecting him wanting to hang out during the week. He's lucky you were hungry anyway, home with almost empty fridge. He knows you can't say no to food, especially when it's a typical Korean barbecue.
'I'm taking you out in an hour, be ready'
That's what the message said and even when his black car parked in front of your apartment building, he barely explained the point of all of this.
"Well, this is Seokjin's restaurant," he starts, seeing your dumbfounded look before he sighs. "Seokjin, you've met him when we went bowling with Tae, Jimin and Kiko. Even Hoseok tagged along." he explains, unfolding a very hazy memory.
If you remember correctly, it was the day when Jungkook introduced Kiko to you.
Jungkook looks like you should know exactly who he is, and the way he stares at you like if you were an idiot makes you annoyed. "It happened like a year ago. Do you really expect me to remember that?" you snark, rolling your eyes in annoyance when you see Jungkook doing the same.
So much for acting like a couple who loves each other.
"Anyway, he's not here right now. But Hoseok works here as operations manager."
Hoseok, Kiko's close friend, is here right now and it all makes sense. He knows when Hoseok would see you, he'd probably tell Kiko. Nothing is sure, but it's worth a shot.
"Ah, right. Now I get it." you breathe out, reaching for a chopsticks before you make yourself a wrap.
Jungkook just nods along, eating quietly before he opens his mouth. "Oh, Seokjin is getting married and he invited me to his wedding. You're coming with me."
"What? Why do I need to be there?" you exclaim with full mouth, causing him to glare at you in disgust before he sighs.
"Because I need a date and he knows we're dating. He kinda invited you as well," he explains, shooting you his pleading look which consists of his doe eyes and slightly pouted lips in hope. "Okay, I'm sorry for dropping this on you all of a sudden. He just called me yesterday to remind me of the wedding and I forgot. I was supposed to go with Kiko, but that changed..." he trails off, silencing himself for a few seconds before he continues. "And now he knows we're dating, so I told him you'll come."
"Yeah, okay. Is she going to be there?"
He nods, biting the inside of his cheek. "Yes, Seokjin is marrying her best friend. She is going to be there."
With that, you only nod and stuff your mouth again.
It's just another plan that might work perfectly. Jungkook told you about him and Kiko talking to each other at the club. He hasn't said much, but he clearly sees the hope in winning her back. Even you can see it, after hearing her questioning you and his relationship. If she didn't care, she wouldn't ever stopped by to talk to him.
"When's the wedding?" you ask him, noting that you need to buy a proper dress for that.
Your wardrobe mainly consists of sweatpants, slacks and basic shirts. If you want to look good, you need to invest some money in a nice dress.
"Next week."
"Jungkook!" you exclaim, watching your best friend in horror.
Next week is too soon.
