Jungkook gazes out at the Moon and softly smiles. Tonight's the night. It's been countless weeks since he first met Amira, but every day since, he's fallen more and more for her. They've been on several dates, but nothing crazy serious. Well, they've been serious to him. Every one he's tried so hard not to mess up. She noticed and teased him for it, then helped him relax by reassuring him that she's going out with him because she genuinely likes him. Huh. What a funny word.

"Like"

Isn't that such a funny word? It can be used to describe so many things. Like Jungkook likes something. Jungkook likes Iron Man. He likes dinosaurs and geeky things. He likes anime and certain traits in woman such as determination and knowledge. He likes Jin. 

There's no shortage of things he likes, but as soon as he says he 'likes' Amira, it becomes more than just 'like'. The word, although not spelled or pronounced any differently, means so much more. It means that he likes her. Likes her in a way that he doesn't like other people. Likes her in a way that he wants to pursue something with her. It's a crazy, almost strange word, but a word that he's grown to appreciate over the years. He likes her. He likes her enough to take a risk tonight.

"Why are you cryptically staring out at the Moon?" Amira's alluring voice asks. 

Jungkook chuckles upon hearing it, her footsteps coming closer by the second. "You like the sky, so do I. Is it a crime to want to watch the stars, Miss Winters?" he teases. 

She snorts, stopping and leaning against the fence. They're in the park now, the place empty because of how late it is. Jungkook insisted on picking her up so she didn't have to go alone at night, but she insisted that she'd have Hans drop her off so she didn't have to walk at all except for through the park. That's why he made sure to be right near the entrance. If anything happens to her, Jungkook's not sure what he'd do. Isn't it crazy how attached he is already?

"Y'know, staring at the Moon isn't the only cryptic thing you've done today," she says. 

"Oh yeah? Enlighten me then, sweetheart." 

He loves to call her pet names to tease her. Sweetheart is more in a joking way, same with dear, but he loves to call her princess, love, and babe to get her all flustered even though they're not technically boyfriend and girlfriend. They're simply two people enjoying dates together. Not boyfriend and girlfriend, but not friends either. Wait, did Jungkook explain all that just to convince himself he's not in the friendzone?

She shakes her head with a small, almost unnoticeable smile. "You texted me at eight o'clock at night saying you have huge news and that we need to meet as soon as possible. Care to explain what this urgent news is and why we had to meet at night in a park?" 

He turns to peer at her, drinking in her casual but still beautiful appearance. God damn, she makes even plain shirts and pants look amazing. Isn't that amazing? He's not sure if she's truly one of the most beautiful people on the planet or if he's just so head over heels for her that she's twenty times more attractive than anyone else, but he adores her appearance. From the moment he saw her sparkling, curious eyes, he knew that she's someone to be admired.
