Maya held jungkook's arm and dragged him into the pathway that led to the house where the party was being held. He has been trying to make fake excuses so he wont come today but she wasn't having any of that.

"I dont know why you dont like them kookie, they're really nice people." she said trying to pull him faster before the event starts.

"Its not the parents i dont like, its their son" he grumbled.

She shot him a disappointed glare. "But you really liked hoseok, you said he was really cool before, what changed?" she stopped walking and stood infront of him with her hands on her hips making sure he wont avoid or ignore her question.

"Nothing"

She scoffed "something surely is bothering you kookie, is it because of something he did? Did he do something to you?"

Its not to me, idiot, its to you

"No he didnt now lets go" he snapped. She stared at him with her mouth agape.

Why is he being so difficult?

He wasnt like this at first. When these people moved in next door to her house both of them had gone over to welcome them. Hoseok and him had clicked instantly. They had lots of fun for hours and he had even asked her several times if they can stay longer. They had formed some sort of friendship with him. Hoseok had came by to her house or jungkooks house several times. What changed?

She rolled her eyes and followed him up the path to the Jung household.

She was about to knock the doors but she saw him pouting like the cute 18 year old he was. She grabbed his cheeks and made him look at her.

"Jungkookie" she cooed. "Jungkook oppa" she giggled at the glare he sent her way. Her best friend never like that word, he was older than her by a few months but he still didn't like being called "oppa" and she had called him that just to irk him so many times.

"Dont pout and be good boy" she spoke as if talking to a 3 year old. "Smile and lets see that bunny teeth" she said squishing his cheeks.

"Yah, stop it" he said grabbing her wrists and pulling it down. She snickered and looked up at him putting on a pout.

"Sorry oppa"

He glared at her again and slowly knocked on the door, putting a polite smile on his face.

She smiled at his obedience, she stood on her tippy toes and leaned up to give him a kiss on the cheek like she always does but he caught her off guard when he turned his face towards her, making his face dangerously close to hers.

Her heart froze for a moment. It was like one of those cliche incidents that happen in cheesy movies but this was real, and ime seemed to stop as she glanced at his face in shock. His face was so close to her. His hazel coloured eyes stared at her as if he could see her soul, leaving her bare and vulnerable. His face was devoid of any emotions, he was merely staring at her, waiting for her to do something about their proximity, daring her to finish what she set out to do. She willed herself not to look anywhere besides his eyes, but her gaze betrayed her, making her look down at his lips that were pink, a bit swollen and shaped like a heart.

She looked back up at his eyes, similar to her she saw his eyes travel her face and land to her lips. She licked her lips in anticipation and plastered on a huge smile on her face, one of her defense mechanisms to distract people from seeing her expressions. If she didn't smile his attention would soon be on her cheeks which were flaming red.

She put her hands on his shoulders, using him as a leverage to peck him on the cheek. She looked back his face and saw a little disappointment there but it was quickly masked with indifference

"Wow i never thought i would live to see something like this"

As quickly as their tension started, it disappeared, only to be replaced by embarrassment. Maya let go of his shoulders and pretended to straighten the unexisting wrinkles on her dress, she flattened her hair and looked up to see her best friend looking up at her with a wicked grin on her pretty face. She gulped and looked anywhere but at jungkooks face. Her bestfriend grabbed her hands and pulled her in, leaving the door open for jungkook to follow.

"Hey where-"

"Shh its bestie time" Iris winked at maya and took her away. Jungkook rolled his eyes and went to meet the other people in the house.

Once out of earshot, iris looked back at maya and wiggled her eyebrows

"What was that all about? Y'all looked cosy" she purred

Maya ignored her friends question knowing that Iris already knows that she liked Jungkook. She met jungkook 2 years ago when she moved in her house and Iris and him had both welcomed her. He had showed her around and introduced her to a few people at school. She had realized she had liked him 7 months later, but he was never the one to like someone so simply.

She had tried to set him up with people before she started liking him but he always complained and whined about that girl not being...the one. He had said that he already knows his ideal type and it wasnt any of them.

Her eyes found jungkooks across the room without any effort and she saw that he was already looking at her. She blushed and gave him a weak smile but he didnt return it. He seemed to look past her and before she could turn her head she was enveloped in a hug. It was a back hug so all she could do was look straight to jungkooks unimpressed face. She turned her head and saw hobis side profile.

Grinning widely he turned her around to him, and she hugged him back immediately. She hadnt seen him in weeks.

"Hey Maya, how are you?"

"Im good, how was England?" he had traveled to England for a few weeks to attend a wedding and he came back here when the wedding was over to celebrate his birthday with his family

"Ah its cold" he pouted causing her to giggle. She hugged him again, she had missed him.

"Where's Jungkook?" he inquired once he was free from her death grip. She looked behind her to point at him but he wasn't there. She clicked her tongue in annoyance. Whats wrong with him?

"Hold on hobi, I will be right back" he nodded and went to hug Iris.

Once Maya left upstairs hobi looked at Iris in concern
"Was that too much?"

The dark-haired girl shaked her hand as she rolled the soda around on her hands. "Nahh..it was taking forever. Neither of them are going to do it."

"Then why bring me into this?" he said pulling her waist to him. A chuckle past her lips "hobi, jungkook is jealous of you. By purposely talking to her every night you sure have annoyed him"

Hobi smiled and pecked her cheeks "Werent you jealous though?"

She scoffed "of course not" she sipped on her drink to hide her face.

"Whatever makes you sleep at night Iris" he said taking her soda, drinking from it.

Maya went up the stairs and spotted jungkook out in the balcony.

"Jungkook!"

He turned around and spotted her behind him. He raised a brow at her with a bored expression on his face.

"Why did you leave?"

"I dont know, you guys looked cosy, so I decided not to interrupt." he said shrugging but she can tell he was pissed with that tone of his.

She stood infront of him "jungkook you have been acting strange these days, couldnt you even say hi? Did you not miss him?"

"I did but surely you didnt you were always on the phone with him."

"He is my friend. He is yours too"

He released a sigh of frustration, running his hand through his hair. "Does it always have to be about him?"

"What-

"Your always talking about him. Hobi this hobi that. Its too much Maya and sometimes i would rather not listen." he snapped facing away from her to look at the garden outside.

Are you jealous?

She was silent for a moment, contemplating what to say when he slowly apologized.

He didnt know how he had come to be like this. He knew it was jealousy, eating him up inside, making him snappy and sensitive. And the girl next to him was all to blame. From all the nights she was texting jhope to the times he was calling her non-stop. They are not married why are they acting like this?

"Its fine" she said curtly "just come back and don't...uh just come back before we start"

She made to go but he grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
"Im sorry...i just...i don't like what your doing with him. Im jealous okay? I admit it. Happy?"

She blinked. He was jealous. The voice at the back of her mind let out a little 'i told you so' and she resisted the urge to smile. Maybe he was simply jealous of the time she had spent with hobi and maybe not in the romantic way she had hoped. "Its fine, i will try to include you in our conversations from now on im sorry for leaving you-

"Its not that Maya damn.." He said slapping the railing with his palm. Since when did telling his feelings to her become so hard? "What am I to you Maya? What am I?"

Her mind drifted back to the time she had asked him a similar question a few months back and she gave him the same answer he had given her before.

"Your my bestfriend-

He groaned and turned away from her, running his hand through his hair. "No i dont want to be..." he looked at her.

He knew she had liked him back before but he had no idea how she felt now, she could be telling the truth when she said she only sees him as a friend for all he knows. But he had to make sure, one way or another.

He took a step towards her "so your telling me you feel nothing towards me?"

"No, your my frien-

She went quiet as he took a step forward. She took a step back to make some distance between them but her bum hit the table, without breaking eye contact with him she slowly tried to go around the table away from him but he trapped her with both his arms by putting them on the table on either sides of her body.

"Dont move, dont go away from this-

"There is no this jungkook, we have-

"Are you sure?" he asked eyeing her lips as she licked it.

"As I said, your my-" he leaned closer to her face in an attempt to shut her up. He had never hated the word friend like this in his life.

"But thats not how I feel" he confessed.

She felt warmth course through her body and somehow making her shiver as she heard his words. Her heart had started beating so fast when he had barged into her personal space but now as she heard those words her heart is threatening to jump out of her body. A little hope ignited in her chest.

"Then...how do you feel?"

He stared at her dead in the eye. He was not good with words. Never was and probably never will. Perhaps showing her how he feels is better, actions speak louder than words right?

He lowered his lips to hers and felt her small gasp against his own, he smirked and kissed her with a bit more fervor, gaining the upper hand.

His lips felt so perfect against hers and she could only sigh in satisfaction. She had wanted this for such a long time, and now that she had a taste of him, she wanted more, she craved it actually. His tongue traced her bottom lip and she felt her head go light. He was so gentle and it made something in her gut twist. He caressed her tongue with his own and by now his hands were down to her waist. She felt stupid for just putting her hands there so she wrapped her hands around his neck. She felt him pick her up and place her on the table. He quickly stood between her legs before she could protest and she felt her dress ride up. She made to cover her thighs but he kissed her again, and all worries were thrown right out of the window. His hands began to travel around her body. Careful not to touch her in areas so as she wouldnt be insecure.

He broke the kiss and looked at her flush face.

"Your so beautiful" he murmured. She blushed deeply, trying to keep her breathing in check. He gave her smirk and dived at her neck. Going by her ear to kiss her tenderly and nibbling at her ear lobe, causing her to give out a low moan. It felt so good and she didnt want him to stop at all.

He kissed up her jaw and she felt one of his hands travel up her leg and her breathing increased rapidly. His wandering hand stopped there as he changed to the other side of her neck. She easily gave him access relishing in the amount of attention he was giving her. She thought his hands wouldnt travel higher but she was wrong. Oh how it felt great to be wrong. His hands went up her thighs and stopped at her hip. She groaned as he pulled her closer to his, her body flush against hers. She grabbed his face and kissed him hard, dying from his teasing.

He broke the kiss and looked at her. He had to say it. "I like you Maya and i want you nowhere near hoseok.

She glared at him, his words were sweet but still how dare he say that to her.

"Excuse you, your not my boyf-
He cut her off with a kiss

He broke the kiss and smirked at her "yet" he replied simply

She blinked, trying to repeat what he said to her in her mind to understand what he was implying at.

"What?"

"I will rephrase, go out with me Maya. Lets have dinner tonight at my house, I can cook for you"

She looked at him with a pretty blush on her face. He resisted the urge to kiss her again. He needed her answer.

"Okay...what time?"

He pecked her lips "At 8. Dont change what your wearing. You already look pretty."

He had called her pretty, he had also said she was beautiful before. She felt like she had accomplished a huge task, like her life was complete. She felt light headed and giddy, and its all because of him. She nodded and was about to say something back but she heard the door opening to reveal hobi and Iris.

Maya gulped, she felt embarrassed because they had seen her in such an intimate position. Jungkook was still between her legs with his hands still on her hips, her dress ridden up to add a little spice to her embarrassment. She pushed him away from her gently and pulled down her dress avoiding eye-contact with anyone in the balcony.

"So..." Iris looked smugly at them then finally at hobi. "You owe me pizza" hobi shaked his head and hugged her waist, looking over at them

"We always knew you guys would eventually be together" he said "but couldnt you guys wait a little longer, now I owe her pizza" he said pouting.

"You were betting on us?" Jungkook asked

"Of course no one missed those looks you sent each other everyday." Iris rolled her eyes "Now lets go downstairs the party is starting."

Maya felt jungkooks hands hold hers and she looked at him to see him smiling widely at her, his bunny teeth flashing cutely. She blushed and let him lead her downstairs.
