Chapter 43 || Back To Square One

the dinner went unexpectedly good, with the elders and especially jungkook who has already bonded a lot with seokjin and yoongi despite it being his first time meeting the eldest. jiah enjoyed seeing them talking like they have been friends for ages and the seven years age gap felt like nothing. jungkook was the trickster, funky young boy and seokjin could be his mate if they hungout one more time together. 

yoongi had offered to walk jiah home, however jungkook quickly assured him that he would drop her off safely in his motorcycle, while namjoon bid goodbyes and headed home, driving seokjin with him since his house was on the way. the dinner was primarily to catch up and have the normal routine hangouts back, although yoongi decided to take the opportunity to drop one of the biggest news of his life.

he was getting engaged next year to this girl his parents found for him, and set him up on a blind date with. the whole week while jiah was stuck with taehyung, yoongi was being the part of the play his parents had set up for him, so he could meet this girl and fall in love with her. they had two dates, the second one being too casual as they just went out to grab a coffee and talk about their interests, but the first one was a big deal.

yoongi cringed telling jiah and the other three the details of his supposedly date, how he wore semi formal clothes and was instructed strictly by his mother to not be rude to the girl, which ended up in him keeping his mouth shut for half of the time. however, he admitted it wasn't so bad because listening to the girl was actually quite enjoyable. that was something jungkook quickly agreed with and nudged jiah, as if letting her know that he loves to listen to her talk as well.

jiah couldn't be happier for yoongi. he is almost her brother, just not by blood, and seeing him finding a nice girl, a compatible life partner feels good in itself. she hugged yoongi as soon as he accepted that he was, in fact, interested in that girl and wouldn't mind another date. it might look like it's not a big deal, but jiah knows what kind of person min yoongi is and has always been. through the years, with his seemingly cold personality and savage nature has often intimidated people, making it hard for them to approach him.

his only relationship that she can remember was when she had started middle school and he was in college. he had a girlfriend back then, who lasted for more or less a year and then they broke up for unknown reasons. after that yoongi never really got involved in relationships, not that jiah knows of any. flings? maybe. but that's also something out of jiah's knowledge. so, after almost ten years, today is the day that she head him talking liking a girl. mind that he has only met her twice. love at first much.

jiah smiles at her thoughts, not realising when jungkook pulls in front of her apartment complex and taps her knee, get her attention back on him. she hops off quickly, glancing forward at her son, who has fallen asleep during the short drive and jungkook supports his tiny body with one hand, so he won't slip. "thanks for today. it was fun with you." jiah smiles at jungkook, carrying her son in her arms and faces jungkook properly. "and i'm sorry if i said something stupid or made you uncomfortable. i can be a little out of my head sometimes..." she smiles sheepishly like a nervous child, fondling with the handle of his motorcycle.

"i don't mind you being out of your head as long as we can work it out. just know that i'm always here for you, whenever you want someone to talk, or listen to you, or hug you, anything." he smiles, "you're precious."

"you've been saying a lot of sweet things, jungkook."

"because you deserve it, baby."

"hm, you think so?" she grins, stepping closer to him, holding her toddler and leans near his face, "take your helmet off." jungkook does as she says, too eager for he expects a kiss, tilting his head and closes his eyes, almost jumping internally in happiness to be able to kiss his crush for almost seven months.
