18. streets

18.

As I'm standing in the elevator with Jungkook again, I can't help but feel as though all of this should not be happening to me. How could it have happened to me? I'm just Jae. I'm just some random girl from New York who lives her everyday doing the bare minimum in life. But here I am; standing next to one of the biggest K-pop idols— and we kissed less than ten minutes ago.

What am I thinking? I'm crazy. The amount of times I have counted my fingers or pinched the skin of my arm to make sure it is real— more than you think.

My heart is beating ridiculously fast when the elevator hits the lobby. I check David's location again and am relieved to see he hasn't moved. I compose a text to him.

You: getting ice cream???

David: yeah
stop locating me or I'll shut it off
seriously

You: I'm omw

David: I'm done w my ice cream

You: idc
Luna wants a milkshake

David: 😑
I rlly want to leave
but fine
where did u put him?

I glance up from phone. Jungkook and I have made it outside and the only thing illuminating our surroundings is the street lights. I don't want to admit that I'm using David as a distraction from having to talk to Jungkook— but I am. I'm afraid I will say something weird because I'm still not over the fact that he kissed me.

You: he's coming with me

David: are you fucking stupid???

You: hey
don't curse at me
u fucker

David: sorry...
you're just dumb!!
why would u bring him with you?!?

You: he wanted ice cream

David: people will SEE him

You: he said he doesn't care idk

I know David is right, but I'm selfish and want to appease to what Jungkook wants to do. I don't want him to have a reason to be annoyed with me yet. It's our first day together in real life.

David: omg
I can't do this
Tell him to go back

You: YOU can't do this?
calm down drama queen
just stay there

David: fine
it's not a good idea

I huff at the conversation and don't respond to him. I click on the details of our messages and open his location in Maps. We are about a five minute walk away still and have only made it down one small suburban block. The nerves are kicking in as I overthink the situation.

"At least put your hood on," I look at Jungkook.

He rolls his eyes at me but does as I have said. Looking at him right now— dressed comfortably and walking around Los Angeles casually— has reminded me of almost every boyfriend Jungkook tweet I have ever seen. He makes for a great low quality picture thread, but I keep my stupid thoughts to myself.
