I was sitting at my desk in my room that evening, editing the next GCF. Peace and serenity surrounded me but the termoil inside of me boiled at medium low. I could sense that someone was getting closer. I wasn't sure who, but this made me uncomfortable. I moved around, tried to get comfortable on my seat when Hannah suddently burst in.

-Jungkookie!, she shouted, causing me to jump on my seat.

-WHAT- is it Hannah?, I almost shouted back.

-I was wordering what you were doing, she explained, proceeding to sit down behind me on my bed.

-Do you honestly want me to believe that?, I asked rhetorically, turning my seat to face her.

She made a straight face and responded:

-You're right, but first, come sit next to me Jungkook.

I got up and span around to sit. There was a short moment of silence which made me realise the situation we were in. It was late and there were no lights on in my room, only the red light from my computer's screens gave the room an ominous warm glow. Hannah was wearing an oversized pastel pink wool sweater and skin tight dark grey leggings. Her hair was her usual black fade to red bob cut but, it was slightly  more messy today. She looked quite worked up.

-What's going on, Jungkook?, she asked worryingly as she put her hand on my thigh to get my attention.

-What do you mean?

-You haven't been acting like your usual self lately, Kookie.

-People change, Hannah.

-No No, I don't mean your tatoos nor your change in style! I mean, you have been much less... confident.

-Oh. Well, I don't know...

-Now I know that's not true. See? This is what I mean! You are usually much better at voicing your feelings or at least, at showing them.

-...

I didn't know what to say. She's right, I have been bottling up so many feelings lately. I looked down and closed my eyes painfully. Hannah pulled me into a hug.

-Jungkook, I know you've been in quite some trouble lately, what with the fans harassing your friend and your car incident. You know you can't hide your feelings from me, she said calmly.

-I don't know how you can be so calm in situations like this Hannah, I wimpered returning her embrasse.

-Well I don't, really.

Even if her woolen sweater was a little bit itchy, her chest was warm and it had the sweet aroma of a coconut. Lucky I have a girl... A female friend who is just as much of a clean freak as I am.

-Actually Jungkookie, I seem calm most of the time but, once you get used to hiding your feelings, it just comes naturally, she explained.

-I guess I'm not really good at that, am I?, I asked.

-Fortunately, no, not so much.

-How can that possibly be a good thing?, I jerked away from her, hands on her shoulders.

-Because! Keeping your feelings to yourself will only do you harm! You can't hide from them, you have to face them, she explained, mimicking my pose.

-Ugh, I hate it when you're right Hannah!, I groaned and face-planted onto her chest once more.

-And who's always right?, she asked fully knowing the answer.

-You~, I said with my muffled voice.

We cuddled for quite a while, I lost track of time, but frankly, that didn't matter. Spending time with someone I love is always worth it. The members keep asking us if we are together yet, but we always deny. I believe we are the one two left "without a partner'. It's not that we don't wanna be together, we do, but our awkwardness back when we first grew feelings for one another kinda scared us away from actually awknowledging that we are in a relationship. I know what? Maybe a right time to make it official would be now!

-Hey, Hannah?, I whispered to her.

-Hm?, she softly responded.

-Um~ I'm glad we get to do this sorta thing without being too awkward.

-... Me too, now sssh!, she shushed me, but I saw her face turning slightly pink.

-I feel much better then before and I think your pep talk worked, I continued.

-Really?

-Ya, so now that we aren't so awkward anymore, we can... be together right?, I finally splurged out.

I could hear her heart beat faster and her breathing get cut short. She was speechless for a moment, truly her expression of shock scared me. It was my turn to hold her and I worried. Is she ok?!

-Hannah? Hannah?!

-Y E S! I mean woh, I need to take some air, need to- need to- shower!, she shouted and panicked.

-Woh woh, ok calm down Hannah-chan, everything is ok now, I tried to calm her by tightening our hug which... Sorta worked? She was definitely less shaky.

-Thanks Jungkook, but really, I think I'll need a shower to process this, now I'm all hot and bothered! I don't wanna sweat!, she wimpered.

-Umm, ya, good idea!, I quickly agreed and made her stand up and turn around, my cheeks hurting from being too flustered.

She set off to take a shower like she said she would. I lied down on my bed, contemplating what she said. What did she mean 'hot and bothered'? Hannah isn't like that, she's cute and pure! No? AaaaaAAAAH, I DON'T WANNA THINK ABOUT IT! Oh! I know! Gaming! That'll take my mind off of her for a while. I hopped into my desk's chair and opened my pc. She came back a little later, hair soaking wet. She was drying it with a towel.

-Ah~ much better, she sighed peacefully, sorry for my strong fervent reaction Jungkook, I didn't expect you to... You know.

-Ya~ Sorry if I surprised you Hannah, I apologized turning around on my chair to face her once more, You know I was thinking about what you said... What did you mean "hot and bothered?"

-Huh? What? Oh no, I didn't mean it like that, I swear! I meant it literally, warm and uncomfortable, warm and uncomfortable!, she explained in a rush to make things clear.

I couldn't tell if she was blushing, her face was still red from the warm shower but I'm certain that she was. I laughed at her panic and rush to clear her name.

-Don't worry about it, I'm just glad you said yes, I said proudly.

I was about to hug her, but she swiftly avoided any contact by mentioning her wet hair. I looked at her confused, but I wanted a hug! So I took out my hairdryer and blowed her hair dry.

-Now can I hug you?, I asked impatient.

-Ok, but only because you insist and I can't say no to you, she mumbled.

I jumped into her arms to cuddle her as she giggled.

-Wow, you really do get what you want when you put your mind to it. See? I'm sure you can find the happiness in you if you just hang on, she proclaimed.

-Don't worry about it Hannah-chan, I already have.

Tada! I hope you liked this chapter because, just in case you didn't notice, by now all the couples are made and so my fanfiction most come to a close. But that's ok! I'll probably add new chapters to fill plot holes my younger and unexperienced self made three years ago. ^_^"""

Anyway, hope you enjoyed my story and feel free to comment your thoughts and consider voting!

If you just can't have enough of my au (alternate universe) and you like to call yourself a MOARMY, then maybe you should head over to my TXT fanfic, TXT×2! Where you will find a similar thing happened to those fives boys~

Have a nice day and until next time! Anniong!
