Can I Love You

21

Jungkook wakes up early to play basketball at the village court, he wants to condition himself for the match later, he can't sleep properly that night thinking how he will make it up to Taehyung so he decides to tire himself and focus on what matters to him. Taehyung and the SSG

The sunrise shines where the basketball ring is making Jungkook miss the last shot he threw before leaving the place, he grabs the ball and throws it one more time when a group of men walks outside the fence

Bogum and his team simply walk past the court going to school and saw him alone picking up his things to go home to get the cupcakes his Mom made for their last day of food festival before going to school but Bogum stops and holds the fences to greet him 

"Hey Jeon.. good morning"
He gives him a cocky smile somehow mocking him and Jungkook thinks he needs to get used to him than to be always worked up everytime he sees him

"The morning has been broken"  he responded without looking at him and proceeded to get out of the court

"Oh, come on... For real, I want to be friends with you" he walks to meet him in the entrace walking beside him

"me? And why is that?"

"because of Taehyung? I want to be on good terms with all of her friends specially to you, they say you're the closest to her and i think if we can agree to one thing then it'll be easy for us to get along when me and her  goes to a date"

Jungkook scoff to that and look at him

"Do you really want to date her this much to be friends with her friends? Then what?"

"what what? What else could it be? She's so cute, I really want to know her more"

"if you want to date her you have to pass through me, and for real... I don't really trust you"

"so you're acting like her brother too, that I need to get your approval first?"

"maybe, think of it that way, i don't care... I just want to protect her from the kinds of you"

"Woah, kinds of me? What do you think of me? I don't flirt around not like you and if ever she got hurt before doesn't mean I'm doing the same thing to her!"

"tell her that yourself"  he points a finger on his chest smirking

"whatever you say... I really want to date her. See you later and please don't be late"  he warns turning on his way to their school

It was lunch time when Taehyung decided to visit their booth, It was the last day of the food festival and all the  clubs had gathered enough funds for the upcoming club day, they were given only 3 days to prepared for that because of the periodical exams need to finish before the month ends

She was sitting beside Jinah when they both have notifications received in their GC. Ms. Reyes posted an announcement just to keep them updated about their rehearsal schedules

Then Jinah reminds her about the match between Jungkook and Bogum that will happen later that day

Jimin and Hoseok are part of the basketball team as well as Namjoon and as the Captain Ball of the team they are all obligated to come with him for that, it is considered a practice even if it just happened because of his crazy idea

"Noona" Jinah nudges her in the elbow giving her a puppy look

"What is it Jinah?"

"I.. i want to come watch their game, please?"

"You can come with them if you want"

"But I was thinking, it is the last day and I want to cleanup early so we can all go and watch it.."
