Chapter 12

Y/n's POV

"Y/n... I need advice on something."

"Okay,  what is it?"

"Well, I think I'm starting to develop feelings for someone."

At that exact moment I feel my heart drop and it feels like it landed in my stomach. I don't show it, but I'm being torn apart inside.

"Ooh la la, who is it?"

"Hmm... I don't think you know them, they don't go to our school."

Well that just confirms that it's not me. Why am I being like this? I like him, don't I?

"Ah well I hope it works out," I manage to say.

"Well how should I confess," he says. Instead of looking worried, he's smirking. "I've known her for a really long time now and I don't want I lose her as a friend."

Despite my sadness, I'm able to provide advice.

"Well I guess you should just say it." I don't know if it's right, but it's advice. 

"Well how would you want your crush to confess?"

"Me?"

Why does he want to know how I would want my crush to confess?

"Yeah you, is there anyone else around?"

Boi if you're being sassy with me right now-

"Why do you want to know?"

"Because she's kind of like you."

If she's kind of like me then why can't he just like me instead?

"Umm I guess I'd want us to be alone and I dunno maybe a singing proposal?"

"Hmm... interesting."

"What?"

"Oh nothing, let's go for a walk."

We start walking around and he spots a claw machine.

"Jungkook those things are rig-"

He pulls me closer to the machine and inserts a coin. After playing the game for not even 30 seconds he leans down to take out an Iron Man plushie and hands it to me.

I stare at it shocked.

"How-"

"Don't mind it, let's just go."

He drapes his arm around my shoulders and starts walking down the sidewalk.

This really feels like a date, but I need to snap myself out of it. It's strange, I've never had a crush on someone after such a short time of knowing them. I thought it was fate.

"We're here," he announces and takes his arm from around my shoulder to get the door.

"Thank you..."

I look around and the place seems rather empty.

"Do you have any karaoke rooms available?" I hear Jungkook say to the cashier.

"Yes we do, how long?"

"Just one hour."

"Okay and just you two?"

"Yes."

"Okay come with me."

Jungkook intertwines his fingers with mine and follows the worker.

We reach a small room with a booth and a big TV on one wall. The lady says a few short instructions and leaves.

"So what song should we do first?"

"Um... what are we doing here?"

"Helping me choose a song to sing for her."

Ah, right, of course. "For her."

"Okay umm..." I start but trail off to text my friends.

Crazy Kids

Guys

Jungkook just took me to a
karaoke room

It's just us

Areum Oooh

Areum get ittt
-
I giggle at her silliness and come back to join reality.

"Umm do they have Purpose? By Justin Bieber?"

"That's perfect!" he exclaims and types in the number without looking in the book.

"You know the number by heart?"

"Well I come here a lot, and I really like Justin Bieber so..."

"Ah I get it."

He presses play and starts singing.

You've given me purpose, Jungkook.

Before I know it the song is over, and Jungkook walks over to sit next to me at the booth. 

"So what'd you think?"

"Perfect, the perfect song to sing for a confession."

"Was it?"

"Yeah, and if she says no after you sang to her, she must be crazy."

"Does that mean you'll say yes?"

I just noticed how close we are. Jungkook's eyes are moving back and forth from my eyes to my lips. I scoot to my left a little.

"What?"

"This is my confession," he scoots closer. Our eyes never leave each other's.

"Are you being serious?" I scoot.

"I am," he scoots.

"But you said she doesn't go to our school," I scoot and feel myself touch the wall.

"I didn't want you to know it was you. Ahh but there's something you should know before going out with me. And honestly you should know even if you don't accept my confession," his voice gets quieter as he speaks.

"What? What is it?" I can barely talk now.

"I don't know if I'm allowed to tell you yet. "
