The Deal
Word: 8.8k
Pairing: Jungkook x Reader
Genre: Angst, Fluff
Summary:  Entering your room you immediately lay on your bed sighing with exhaustion, you lift the money and start counting the money. “ 20,40,60,80...what the fuck…” you continue counting the money until it’s to five hundred dollars. “ Here I come, Jungkook.”
Warnings: Mature language
A/N: AHHH I’m soooo sorry I haven’t been posting lately due to this crazy pandemic a lot of unfortunate things have happened to me. I hope you guys like this fic, it took me awhile to plan it and write it, and I’m still disappointed in it :( I wish you all good health and please be careful!! Make sure to always wash your pretty hands!!!
Tumblr media
“ Her parents have been married for twenty years but she thinks her mother is having an affair. She still wants to find love like them well...at the moment when they were happy. Her favorite movie is Fight Club because she thinks it makes her have good taste in movies. She doesn’t kiss on the first date because she doesn’t want to seem too easy,” you finish your statement and hold your hand out. “ That would be a hundred dollars.”
Jimin hurriedly reaches from his back pocket and looks for cash in his wallet. He’s about to give you the money but stops himself. “ Is that all? Did Heejin say anything about me?”
“ Well I can’t just randomly say your name in our conversations. You know how long it took me to be her friend and I had to listen to her complain about everything.” Jimin gives you a sad pout and gives you an extra twenty dollars. “ Fine okay. We were playing truth or dare and she said she wouldn’t mind getting on
her knees for someone on the football team…”
“ And…”
“ It was you. Happy now?” You smile once he hands you the money. You smirk while counting the money. “ There’s also one more thing but I don’t think I should tell you.” You sigh and put the rest of the textbooks in your bag
He slides you another twenty dollars, “ Tell me.”
“ She lost her virginity in a small car and she regretted it. It was to some random guy. Well she wants her first boyfriend to think she’s a virgin so it can be special to her. She only told me since we are ‘close friends’. Now it’s your time to woo her or whatever.” You grab the cash and put it in your wallet. You quickly say bye to Jimin and walk out of the library.
You enter the classroom and take your notebook out. “ Hey. Wanna hangout afterschool? My parents aren’t home, we were thinking of throwing a kickback?,” Heejin asks you as she takes her notebook out.
“ Uhh... can’t I’m really busy with homework.” This was the hardest part of doing this ‘job’, trying to get rid of your relationship with them.
Heejin shakes you lightly, “ C’mon you can worry about your homework another time. And guess who’s going to be there?”
You look at the time on your phone wondering when the teacher is going to come. “ Who’s coming?” You fake a smile and twirl your pencil.
“Jimin’s coming. He asked me out on a date so I asked him if he wanted to chill.”
Wow he works fast. Heejin always has alcohol at her place; one drink wouldn’t hurt. “ Okay I’ll go but I can only go for an hour.” The teacher comes and class starts.
--
You show up to the kickback forty five minutes late. “ Y/N. Nice for you to show up,” Taehyung says while giving you a drink.
Taehyung is someone you rarely talk to, he’s the guy who just casually nods his head at you when you see each other around the hall. He’s also the guy you gave a handjob to.
“ Hey. I had to walk here. Thanks.” He looks out of place wearing oversized sweats and a hoodie. “ Where’s Heejin?” You should at least say hello to her ,stay for a while, and leave. He holds your hand and leads you upstairs to a door that is slightly ajared.
He whispers to you in your ear, “ She’s in there with Jimin.” You look in the small opening and you see her on his lap making out. So much for not kissing on the first date you think to yourself.
“ Is she drunk?” You whisper back to Taehyung.
“Most likely she had like five shots and a beer.” He opens the door slightly more, “ Aren’t you going to help your friend?”
Oh yeah she’s your friend. You opened the door more and walked into her bedroom. “ Heejin! I’m here!,” you smile at her as she turns her head at an angle to see you. Heejin smiles brightly and gets off of Jimin, and hugs you tightly.
“ You're here! I thought you weren’t going to come.” She pouts while holding your hands. Jimin coughs lightly and stands up from the bed. “ Oh this is Jimin. I don’t know if you guys like properly know each other.”  
You know Jimin quite alright, you probably know him more than she does. He’s the guy who paid over hundred dollars to get to know her more. Know her more than any instagram post. “ Hey, you're the guy that throws the football across the field and hopes that someone catches it. I’m Y/N,” you smile at him      
Jimin laughs and smiles brightly at you. You got to admit he’s an attractive guy and he’s stacked with money. Jimin and Heejin will make a good couple, they are both the same. “ Yeah that’s me. Nice meeting you.” He grabs his cup from the desk and looks into it, “I should get a refill. Anyone want more?”
Heejin is about to say something but someone interrupts her. “ No, I think they are good.” You turn to see Taehyung still waiting by the door. Jimin lets out a small okay and walks out kissing Heejin on the cheek. “ Alright, I should get home. It was nice seeing you Y/N. Thanks for the party Heejin.” With that said Taehyung leaves.
“ Are you and Taehyung something?” Heejin giggles at her own question.
“ No way. He was just talking to me.”
You ended up staying the whole time and helping Heejin clean up. Heejin knocks out the moment she lays on her bed. It’s really late, you should get home. You're about to lock Heejin’s front door until a girl yells to stop. You’ve seen her around campus. She's really pretty but you don’t know her name.
“ Hey I left my wallet in the house, I’ll be quick.” She goes into the living room and grabs her wallet. “ Hey, your Y/N, right?” You are surprised she knows your name, she’s way too popular, more popular than Heejin.
“ Yeah. That’s me...,” you say to her while walking away from Heejin’s house. “ And you are?”
She gives you a flash of surprise, “ Chaeyoung. Do you need a ride?” Chaeyoung points at her shiny black jeep.
“ Yeah, that would be great,” you smile at her. She is pretty and nice, huh.
When you enter her car it has the lingering smell of a new car. The dashboard was nice and shiny. You told her where you lived, looking outside the window you hum a familiar tune on the radio.
Chaeyoung asked softly while looking at the road,“ So Y/N how’s business these days?”
You froze at her question only a selective amount of people know about your so called business. If everyone knew of you what you do, then there would be no point in this business. You only had a few clients at school and mostly were rich boys wanting information on girls so they can date or hook up. Yeah, it sounds sleazy but it’s going to help pay for college.
“ Don’t freak out on me Y/N. It’s just a simple question,” she laughs while she looks at you at a frozen state. “ It was Hoseok who told me. I couldn’t believe that Hoseok managed to have sex with Miyeon. I know Miyeon, she’s sweet, pure, saving herself for marriage. And I asked myself how’d did Hoseok, a guy who likes to have sex with a new girl every month, have sex with her. I forced an answer out of him.”
That asshole can’t keep his mouth shut. What are you gonna do now, maybe you could try to lie and find a way to get out of this situation. You need this job.
“ I-,” you start to say.
“ I gotta admit it was pretty incredible that you managed to do that,” she lets out a whistle. “ Don’t worry Y/N, I won’t tell anyone.”
You felt a rush of a relief, “ Okay thanks.” You wipe your sweat from your hands and take out a piece of gum from your purse. You gave her a piece, she laughs while putting it in her mouth.
“ Since you're so good at your job, can I be your client,” she asked, tapping her light pink polish nails against the steering wheel.
This was the first time a girl asked you she wanted information on someone. “ It cost money,” you advise her.
“ I know a good amount of money, and I have a good amount of money,” she smiles and turns left. “ I need information about Jungkook.”
There’s no way you can do this job. First he’s a male and the chances of me trying to become him his friend would be impossible. Second he’s way too popular, he has his own group of friends that wouldn’t allow me to talk to him. Third, he's rich and powerful if he finds out that you did this to him, you don’t even know what will happen to you. Let’s try to veer her away from this person. You laugh cooly, “ Trust me you don’t need my help. You have a pretty smile, nice legs, and a new car. Plus, I see you are already close to Jungkook. You guys sit together at lunch with his other friends.”
Chaeyoung doesn’t say anything for the next few minutes and you think that she forgot about this subject but unfortunately she doesn’t. “ You know I have been Jungkook’s friend...or whatever he claims I am for like three years?,” she asked you. You hum for her to continue on. “...I want to be his girlfriend, something official. He’s very hot and rich, and his father has his own law firm and his mother is head surgeon of that new hospital. I think we will look good together...no I know we will look good together.” Chaeyoung parks her car in front of your house. “ I know I’m all those things you described me as but the problem is...I can’t seem to get to really know him. You know after we have sex he takes a shower and he just leaves. No pillow talks and even when I try to talk to him he puts up a wall, a fucking wall I can’t get over. So that’s when you come in Y/N, you do the impossible, and I need you to do this for me.”
“ I understand but—”
Chaeyoung interrupts before you can finish,“ I’ll pay you whatever you want. Does five thousand sound okay?” This girl is really desperate and really rich.
“ Okay, it sounds like a deal,” you stick your hand out and shake her hand. You can’t believe you are taking this deal, wow money does change a person's mind.
You are about to leave until her hand gently grabs your elbow. “ Here, consider it a deposit.” Chaeyoung gives you some cash. You bid your goodbyes and enter your house.
Entering your room you immediately lay on your bed sighing with exhaustion, you lift the money and start counting the money. “ 20,40,60,80...what the fuck…” you continue counting the money until it’s to five hundred dollars.
“ Here I come, Jungkook.”
--
“ Wait we really did make out! I’m so stupid you think I would have known the first time I did this,” Heejin says while placing her head in disappointment.
“ Wait, you were drunk when you lost your virginity?,” you asked. Stop pretending you care Y/N, she’s not your friend, you were paid to be her friend.
Heejin gives a sad glance and nods her head. You place your hands on her back rubbing it soothingly. “ Hey, it’s okay. If you ever want to talk about it, I’m all ears,” you smile at her and she smiles back.
“ Thank you, Y/N. I never had a good friend like you.” You roll your eyes jokingly, trying not to take the compliment to heart. “ Y/N, I really mean it. I gotta go to Calculus, see you later!”  
You enter your Chemistry classroom sitting down on your assigned seat.
 “ Okay settle down class. You know what today is? It’s lab day.”
You look to your left to see that your partner isn’t here. What was his name? Jinwoo no it wasn’t that...Jinhwan—“Y/N, Sangchul transferred to another school, go find another partner,” the teacher said loudly.
Looking around you see another student with an empty seat next to him. You stood in front of him and was shocked to see him. Jungkook. How convenient for you. You never knew he was in your class. “ Can I be your partner?,” you ask him. There was no one beside him so you naturally assumed he'd say yes.
“ I have a partner already,” Jungkook says it curtly. His eyes briefly make eye contact with yours and then he looks back at the textbook.
“ My bad I didn’t see him sitting right next to you, oh wait he’s not,” you sarcastically speak. You didn’t mean for it to come out like that he was being rude first. Jungkook looks at you and rolls his eyes. Fuck, he can’t hate you, you have to get close to him. “ Sorry I didn’t mean to sound like that. But can I please be your partner. It's only for this lab day. I may be shit at chemistry but I’m good at helping…,” you timidly smile. Jungkook ignores you and you are about to leave until he sighs loudly.
“ Fine. You can be my partner,” he pushes the chair out beside him. You silently cheer in your head. Jungkook is different from all the other people you work with. He’s harder to approach almost not welcoming than the others. Placing your things beside you, you stay at a safe distance from him. The teacher hands Jungkook the lab assignment instructions and he reads it for about three minutes, then hands it to you.
You briefly scan it and look at him, only to see his side profile, and he’s writing things in his lab notebook. You don’t want to bother him since you don’t want to get on his bad side. Occasionally Jungkook would make comments related to the lab and you would quickly jot them down on your own notebook. “ Sorry, I wasn’t much help,” you tell Jungkook.
“ It’s fine,” he says and reaches for the lab assignment paper by your hands. You give it to him and he quickly says thanks, handing it to the teacher.
He takes your lab notebook along with his and turns it to the front desk. You quickly slip your history notebook in his backpack before he comes back. “ See you later,” you leave with your belongings.
--
Chaeyoung is smoking in the school parking, leaning against her car. “ How’d it go?,” she asked once you got closer to her.
She offers you a cigarette and you shake your head no, “ Great, Jungkook said five sentences to me,” you kick a rock that was by you.
You look at her blow out the smoke in a different direction and she laughs, “ Sounds like him. At least he said something, when we first met he was silent the whole time.” She throws the cigarette on the floor and steps on it, “ We had sex this morning.”
“ Okay…” you say awkwardly. You didn’t need to know that but okay.
“ He’s being more distant than usual. I don’t mean to rush you but I’m running out of time here.” Chaeyoung grabs the mirror from her purse and reapplies her lipstick.
How the hell are you going to make him get closer to you? Jungkook is a difficult person to talk to and now Chaeyoung is rushing you. “ Okay, I’ll work faster.”
She smiles, “ Good.”
You walk back to the cafeteria and look around for Jungkook, he’s sitting down with the rest of his friends and he’s laughing. You walk closer to the table and Jimin is the first person to greet you. “ Y/N! How’s it going?,” he swings his arm over your shoulder. Jungkook looks towards you and is surprised to see you.
“ I’m doing good, Heejin told me you looked cute today,” you come up with an excuse. Jimin blushes and scratches his head. “ By the way is it cool for us to join you guys for lunch?,” you ask curiously.
“ Yeah join us!,” he exclaimed excitedly.
Heejin is talking to one of her other friends and you interrupt them “ Hey Heejin, Jimin invited us to eat with them.” She looks at you in shock and flushes when you drag her to the table.
Jimin invites her to sit with him, you stand along the table searching where you should sit. “ You can sit here,” one of Jungkook’s friends said. You sit between Jungkook and his friend. “ What’s your name?”
“ Y/N. And yours?,” you ask politely. You feel your thighs brushing up against Jungkooks and you scoot closer to his friend.
“ Namjoon. I think you are in my AP Physics class, you beat me with the highest mark on the test,” he jokingly states.
“ Oh, that’s you! You were always a point ahead of me so I finally decided to study a little bit. Wow, it feels good to see the person I beat,” you smile. Jungkook looks invested in the conversation but doesn’t say anything.
Namjoon barks a laugh, his dimples fully on display, “ A little bit? I’m impressed, you gotta show me your ways,” he nudges his elbow against you.
“ How do you suck at chemistry but not in AP physics?,” Jungkook asked you and you turned to look at him. “—Sorry it doesn’t make sense to me, physics is way harder than chemistry.”
Finally he decides to talk to you, baby steps Y/N. “ My dad is a Physics professor,” you tell both of them. Both of their eyes widen and you laugh, “ I’m kidding. I’m not sure why I’m really good at physics. What are you good at Jungkook? You look like you're good at Literature.”
Namjoon intervens, “ He’s good at everything.” Jungkook subtly rolls his eyes but Namjoon doesn’t see it, only you.
“ Oh is that so. Must be sad to be good at everything,” you say indirectly to Jungkook.
“ How so?,” Namjoon asked, pushing his glasses up. “ Being good at everything means you can accomplish anything.”
You think thoughtfully, “ People will always have this high standard of you though. If you don’t meet their expectation won’t you be useless since you are supposedly good at everything? Even if you could accomplish anything would you be accomplishing things that you want? I wouldn’t want to be perceived as someone who is good at everything, they must be really lonely.”
You look back at Jungkook and he stares at you for a long time. “ Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.” He leaves quickly and says goodbye to the rest of his friends.
“ Wow, he’s in a rush. So Y/N about that upcoming physics test…” Namjoon scoots closer to you.
--
You lay your head against the table in the library listening to your music and softly hum. A blue notebook comes into your view when it’s placed on the table. You sit up and see Jungkook standing by the table, you take your earphones off, “ I found your history notebook in my backpack, I don’t know how it got there,” he gives a skeptical look.
“ I’m not sure either, thanks anyways,” you lay your head back down. Jungkook looks at you closely and you laugh, “ Need company?”
He shakes his head and is about to leave but then turns back and sits right next to you, “ What’s wrong with you?”
“ Nothing just tired. I feel like I’m always tired, I don't know of what,” you continue to lay your head.
He taps his finger against the table lightly, “ It sounds like you're depressed.”
“ Probably.” Your fingers go beside his and lightly tap with his. “ Are you good at everything Jungkook?,” his fingers stop tapping.
“ Why do you care?,” Jungkook said defensively.
“ I don’t care,” you bring your hand closer to you. Any minute he’s going to give you a tragic story but then again he’s not like the others. Jungkook is cautious of you and he should have every right to be. “ What’s your favorite color?” You switch the conversation to ease the tension between you two.
“ Black,” he says quietly. You ask him why as you close your eyes. “ Black is simple, it’s not complicated. There’s no light or dark black. It’s just black.” You hum an okay and smile when he asks you what’s your favorite color.
“ Today it’s blue. I don’t have a favorite color because it always changes when different people ask me,” you sit up and look at him. “ I have to go, it takes forever for me to walk home. It was nice talking to you Jungkook.”
--
You start sitting next to Jungkook more often and Chaeyoung watches from the side. It goes on for weeks and your surprise that he hasn’t pushed you away. He talks to you in short sentences, never anything deep. You both are in the library individually listening to your own music. Your head is once again against the table, you feel Jungkook tap you on the back, you take your earphones out as a sign that you are listening. “ Y/N, what’s the thing that you are most afraid of?”
Why should you tell him? Jungkook is like every other person, someone you pretend to be friends with. He shouldn’t know anything about you but you tell him anyways. “ Getting old. Seeing yourself get old and people dying around you, wondering when your time is up. What about you Jungkook?”
“ You know the first time you hangout with us at lunch, that scared me the most. I like how closed off my friend group is, it scares me when new people come into my life. I don’t know what they want...I don’t know what I’m saying,” he sighs and lays his head next to you. Both of you stare at each other and his eyes are shining, you hate how hopeful it looks so you close your eyes.
“ You fear me?,” you ask softly.
“ No,” he clarifies.
It is silent for a while and he finally speaks “ I was in middle school when my dad introduced me to one of his interns at his work. Areum, that was her name, she just got out of law school. She was nice and pretty...I saw them having sex in my dad’s office. I hated her so much I slashed her tires and broke her mirrors.” You open your eyes and his eyes are closed. “ My mom knows that my dad has affairs, she just lets it happen.”
He must be lonely at his house. “ What’s your favorite food?,” you ask Jungkook.
“ Pork belly. Yours?,” he smiles for the first time at you.
“ Today it is kimchi fried rice.”
He sighs, “ Why do you always do that Y/N?”
“ Do what?”
“ Tell me things that other people want to hear. You did it with the ‘what’s your favorite color question too’. I really want to know what you like and hate,” Jungkook says softly.
You flush a little, never ever having to tell what you want or what you like. “ I like Sundubu-jjigae. My Dad used to make it for me when I was younger,” you smile to yourself.
Jungkook chuckles, “ When you were younger, you make it sound like you're in your mid thirties. Why doesn’t he make it for you anymore?” He is disappointed to see your smile disappear when he asks this question.
“ He’s busy,” you want to tell Jungkook all your troubles but you swallow them. “ Wake me up in 15 minutes,” you close your eyes and rest on the hard table.
--
Chaeyoung invites you to her party and you really don’t want to go but you have to. Once you enter the party you go straight to the alcohol, taking two shots before looking for Chaeyoung. She’s smoking outside and standing beside her, she offers you a hit and you take it.
“ How’s it going with him?” she immediately asked.
You blow the smoke away from her, “Good I guess, he’s gotten closer to me.” You hand the blunt back to her.
“ I can tell. Anything important he said?”
There’s always a small part of you that feels guilty when you have to tell the clients shared secrets. “ His dad is having an affair with his interns. He hates that his mom doesn’t say anything. He’s sad that he can never love or be loved.”
“ Hm, good work. Do you think he’ll ever love me?” Chaeyoung gives a new blunt and you take it.
No Jungkook will never love Chaeyoung. “ Yes. Just give him time.”
“ Okay.” She smiles bashfully to herself. “ Keep up with the good work.” And with that she leaves you. You look at the blunt in your hands and put it in your pocket.
You walk around her house looking at her pictures that are against the wall. She looks like the only child, the house looks big and pristine despite all the people here, she must be spoiled. You go upstairs to use the bathroom and then you stay there for thirty minutes watching videos on your phone. You get a text from Namjoon to see if you were at the party, you tell him yes and go downstairs. “ Hey Y/N! Studied hard for the test tomorrow?”
“ Of course not, I’m here partying,” you smile at him giving him a drink. Namjoon laughs and goes to the dance floor.
“Hey Y/N.” Jungkook says.
“ What’s up. Wanna get high?” You take the blunt and wave it in front of his face.
He laughs and smiles at you, nodding his head yes. Jungkook leads you to a bedroom and you assume it’s Chaeyoung because there's pictures of her and her friends. You go towards her window and open, you feel a cold breeze and you shiver. “ Here,” he pulls his hoodie off and hands it to you.
“ Uh, Thanks,” you put over you and immediately feel warmth. It smells like him. You don’t know how to describe it but it’s nice. You light up the joint and inhale the smoke letting it consume your lungs. Jungkook takes the joint and does the same. He blows it out and sighs in content.
“ This is some good shit. Who did you get this from?,” Jungkook sits down on the bed.
“ Your girlfriend. The tall pretty girl who always wears red lipsticks,” you laugh and lay on the bed with your joint close by. He doesn’t say anything and you pass the joint to him. It goes on like this for a while just passing it back and forward until there wasn’t nothing left. You throw the butt in the trashcan by the bed. Jungkook lays beside you looking at the ceiling and chuckles.
“ She’s not my girlfriend. Just someone who’s using me,” he turns sideways to look at you. “ But it’s okay I’m using her too,” he says softly.
The weed makes you feel light and you are not functioning straight. And for that reason the words that came out his mouth made you laugh. They are all using each other including you. Jungkook gives you weird stares but smiles anyways asking you what’s funny. “ Nothing I’m just really fucking high and I haven’t been high in a long time,” you try to wipe the tears in your eyes but you feel his hands wiping them away. His fingers brush against your cheek and he is staring into your eyes. If this was a romantic novel both you guys would've kissed but it’s not. The warmth of his hand is gone and it feels cold, you don’t deserve to feel his warmth. “ If you don’t mind me asking how are you guys using each other?”
 Jungkook sighs, “ Chaeyoung only wants me because I come from a rich family. I would be like a prize or something to her. I only use her for sex. Just meaningless sex,” he looks at you to see if your expression has changed but it didn’t. If Jungkook can see it so easily then why doesn’t Chaeyoung see it.  “ Have you ever used anyone Y/N?”
“ You,” you say mindlessly. What if you told him the truth would Jungkook still want to be your friend? He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. “ Yeah, when I asked to be your partner in chemistry.” Jungkook laughs at your statement and scoots closer to you.
“You’re so pretty,” he lets out under his breath.
Your heart skips a beat but you shouldn’t feel this way. “ And you are high.” You laugh while pushing his chest a little. Your hands feel his toned chest blushing you pull your hands away.
“ I am but you are still pretty. I thought you were pretty the first time I saw you. Also a little bit mean,” he smiles thoughtfully. His hand reaches to the fallen strands of your hair pushing it back from your face.
“ Of course you would remember being mean,” you roll your eyes.
“ Yeah you made a bad impression. It’s okay I like you.” He continues to make eye contact to see your reaction.
Fuck Jungkook likes you. Why does he have to make it so much harder than it already is? And why do you feel happiness when he confesses to you? “Why do you like me?”
“ You understand me. I could talk to you about anything and you just know how I feel.”
“Jungkook I—”
“It’s okay you don’t need to say anything,” he pinches your cheek and laughs. “God I’m so hungry we—”
“Jungkook can you kiss me?” You bite your bottom lip nervously and play with the string of his hoodie.
He doesn't say anything but leans closer, “ Are you sure?” Nodding your head and closing your eyes, you hope that this kiss doesn’t affect you in any way. His lips kiss you carefully while his hand holds your cheek. It feels nice, it’s not like that kind of kiss that makes you feel like you're in heaven or that you find the answer to every unsolvable question. But it feels like you can kiss him and you won’t have to worry about anything.
He pulls back with hazy eyes and a smile, you pull him back for a second kiss. His tongue traces your bottom lip asking for permission to enter, and you grant him. The position is uncomfortable since you are both laying on the side so he hovers over while you keep kissing him. His lips leave yours and you whine a little, and he laughs but continues his kisses to your neck. The feeling of lips on your neck makes you feel warm all over your body. He bites your skin on a sensitive part of your neck and you gasp.
“ Jungkook…” You sighed. He groans and you place your hands on his hair, tugging it lightly so he can return to your lips. One of his hands goes to rest between his hoodie you’re wearing and your shirt, caressing your stomach. The kisses become more desperate and you start to feel his hard member against your core.
He pulls back from the kiss and looks at you with a fond smile,“ Y/N, I like you a lot. I haven’t felt this way with anyone before.” He rests his head against your neck, laying completely on you.
Laughing you play with his hair, “ You’re heavy!”
“ Just let me stay here for a while,” he muffles against your neck. You turn your head to the side and see the picture of Chaeyoung and her friends. Fuck what are you doing Y/N.  
--
You are walking to your Literature class and feel someone pull you into a classroom. It’s the art classroom where students normally work on pieces and leave them there to be secured. Taehyung locks the door and stares at you with a deadly glare, crossing your arms. “ What the hell are you doing Y/N?”
“ What the hell am I doing? What the hell are you doing?” You try to leave but he steps in front of the door. “ Move, Taehyung.”
“ What are you planning to do with Jungkook?”
You scoff and look around the room, “ Nothing.” You weren’t surprised that Taehyung knew what was going on, he was always suspicious of you even with Jimin.
“ Y/N, don’t fucking play dumb. You especially don’t want to fuck with me,” he says sternly.
“ Why does this concern you?”
“ Because Jungkook is my friend! I don’t want him to get hurt because of this stupid game you like to play.”
You laugh bitterly, “ A game? You think this is a game?”
“ Well I’ve seen the shit you do Y/N, you’ve done with Hoseok and Jimin. And now Jungkook. Just to have fun playing with people’s feelings.  Stay the hell away from him,” he turns his back from you.
“ Wait up asshole,” you grab his wrist so he can look at you. “ You don’t have the right to talk to me like that. You think I do this for fun? Huh, you think I like fucking do this. Not everyone is as privileged as you,” you rant and there’s angry tears starting to fall out.
Taehyung’s face shows nothing but confusion, “ Y/N...why are you crying?”
You wipe the tears away, “ I don’t like it Taehyung. I really don’t. I just need the money for college.” You push him to the side so you can exit the classroom but he stops you.
“ Y/N, I can help you. My dad knows people that can give you high paying job-”
“ Stop, I don’t want your pity.”
“ Shut up and listen to me,” he says and you give him a glare. “ Sorry, but I just don’t want you to do this anymore Y/N. I can tell it’s hurting you. Please stop this and tell Jungkook the truth.”
--
The library is empty and it’s just the two of you silently working on school work. “ Want to play Xbox at my house?” You stop typing your essay when Jungkook asks you this.
Sighing you close the laptop, “Yeah, I’m beat with this essay.” He helps you pack up your stuff and leads you to his car. It’s your first time in his car and it suits him. As he continues driving to his home you pass through multiple affluent neighborhoods. Finally when you arrive at his place your eyes widen. It's bigger than Chaeyoung and it’s front lawn looks so green and spacious.
After silently gawking at the inside of his house he leads you to his room. You immediately are fond of the scent and the pictures of the room. A picture frame is placed on his desk, grabbing it you smile. “ That’s me and Taehyung. When we were younger.”
“Kim Taehyung?”
“ Yeah we are great friends, he doesn’t hangout with us during lunch since he is busy finishing touches on his art portfolio for college,” he says while setting the Xbox on. “ You two know each other?,” he looks back at you with a curious gaze.
“ Not really. We had art history together ,” you casually say while you sit on his bed.
Few hours passed and your multiple losses with his video games had made you upset but it was fun. You never had this much fun in a long time. He laughs when he kills in the video game and you throw a pillow at his head. “C’mon don’t be a sore loser,” he grabs your remote and places it on his console.
“ I have every right to be, you don't even give me a chance,” you pout and lay down on his bed. Your skirt rises showing more skin and Jungkook stares at it. His fingers brush your thighs carefully, you flush at the nice sensation. He looks away from your legs and throws a small blanket on them, and sits on his bed with his back against the headboard. You copy his actions and lay your head against his shoulder just looking at his black screen tv. “ Have you ever cared for someone, Jungkook?”
“ I would say no but I would be lying to myself,” he touches your hair carefully. You lean into his touch like a needy kitten. “What about you?”
“ I’m starting to care for someone but I’m scared I might hurt him—“
“Then don’t,” Jungkook said sternly. “...Don’t hurt him. Don’t hurt me,” this time he says softly. You turn to look at him and he looks beautiful with his soft features but determined eyes. He closes the gap between you two and kisses you gently. It’s warm, you feel warm like everything is perfect but it’s not.
“ Jungkook we shouldn’t,” you lightly push his chest. He looks at you with hurt and confusion but backs off.“I just...I don’t want to complicate things.”
He looks lost and searches for your eyes, “ I don’t understand… I thought you like me… I like–“
“ Please Jungkook, you don’t like me. You say you like me but your having sex with other people. You're just fascinated with me because you're lonely…you don’t like me. No one will,” you say quickly and rush to get your things.
“ What the hell are you talking about?,” he voice rises. “ Chaeyoung is nothing to me. I haven’t had sex with her since we like met. Don’t you dare call me fucking lonely when your fucking lonely yourself. You analyze people thinking you're better than everyone, guess what you're not. You're just good at lying to yourself,” he finishes and pushes his head hair back in frustration.
You don’t say anything because all of those were true and it hurts to hear him say it. “Goodbye Jungkook,” you quickly walk out of his house despite him calling your name.
—-
It’s been a few days since the fight with Jungkook and you’ve been dreading to get up each morning. The rainy weather fits your mood and you're done with all this shit. You send Chaeyoung a text if you can talk to her and she invites you to her house.
You're in front of her house door and you open it since she said she left it open for you. Walking upstairs you hear moaning and you halt. It’s coming from her bedroom and your heart stops. “Fuck–Jungkook! Please don’t stop!” The sound of the bed frame hitting the wall is making your head hurt so you back down stairs to the living and wait there. Listening to Jungkook and Chaeyong have sex put a pang on your heart. You really thought Jungkook liked you and now you feel like a fool.
You hear them stop wiping your tears and fixing yourself up, you hear footsteps coming down stairs. Pretending to type vigorously on the keyboard on your phone you make yourself look busy. “Y/N?,” you look up to see Jungkook and it hurts even more to see him. He’s lightly shining because of the sweat and there’s red marks on his neck.
You try to smile at him but it's just filled with sadness, “ Hey. I just needed to give her something.”
“ Y/N, it’s not what you–fuck I’m stupid. Can we talk later or something? Please I want to talk to you,” Jungkook pleads as he tries to grasp your hands. “I’m sorry about everything and this meant nothing I was sad and she–
“ It’s okay. I’ll see you later,” you squeeze his hand. Jungkook gives you a hopeful look.
You walk upstairs and Chaeyoung is lying down naked on her bed with her phone in her hands. You see her clothes on the floor and you hand it to her. It hurts to see her lying in bed breathless because of Jungkook. She dresses while you talk, “ I don’t want to do this anymore. The contract is cancelled.”
Chaeyoung's eyes widened, “Why?” You don’t answer her and look away as she throws away the used condom on the floor. “You caught feelings for Jungkook, huh? I can tell the way you look at him and the way he looks at you. I didn’t pay you to fucking make him fall in love with you Y/N.”
“ It’s not that...he doesn’t like you, okay. He already knows that you want him because he’s wealthy and hot. It’s pointless to continue this”
“ And what about you Y/N? He likes you because you are not using him? Last time I checked you were getting paid to use him.”
“Whatever I’m done.”
“I’ll tell him what you do,” Chaeyoung threatens you.
“ I was going to tell him anyways. Don’t forget you are the one who paid me to do this, we are both not innocent,” you leave her house.
You lay in bed for a couple days not bothering to go to school. You tell your mom that you have bad period cramps and she doesn’t attempt to force you to go to school. Jungkook texted you multiple times but you're too scared to read his messages. After three days you decided to go to school and you dread it, you purposely walk slower as you walk there.
“ It’s lab day guys! Nice for you to come to class Y/N,” the teacher welcomes as you enter the class late. You are walking to your desk until she interrupts, “ Y/N sit by Jungkook, his partner isn’t here today.”
You walk towards the empty desk beside him and look at the lab assignment that was on the desk. “ Where were you these past days? I kept texting you but you didn’t answer. I’m sorry that you saw me at Chaeyoung’s house. I still mean what I said at the party... ” Jungkook bites his lip trying to see your face but you're staring down at the assignment. “Y/N…”
You hear every word that he says but it still hurts that he had sex with her but then it wasn’t like if you guys were together. “ The first answer has a frequency of 1.9 GHz,” you say. You did the calculations in your head. The first time you met you lied to him saying that you were bad at chemistry. “ I lied to you Jungkook, I’m good at chemistry. I’m sorry.”
He looks at you with confusion, “ It’s okay... but are you okay? You don’t look well,” he checks if you have fever by letting his hand rest on your forehead.
“ Are you really okay with me lying to you?,” you say quietly. His hands leave your forehead and look at you carefully. “ I need to tell you something.”
“ Jungkook, Y/N! Are you guys done flirting, the assignment is due after class,” the teacher yells out from the front of the class. You hear a couple students chuckling and Jungkook rolls his eyes.
“ We will talk about this later, okay? He pats your thigh and continues to solve the problems.
You are both outside for lunch sitting in his car. “ You can tell me anything Y/N. I’m here for you,” Jungkook stares at you and grabs your hand.
“ I was paid to get close to you Jungkook,” you say without taking breath.
“ What?,” he laughs incredulously. You don’t laugh with him, “ Is this a joke?,” he says seriously.
“ No it’s not. I get paid by certain people you want to be with a person. I get their secrets and what’s so important to them and tell the person who’s paying.” You look at him and there’s a million questions that’s going on inside of him. “ Chaeyoung paid me, Jungkook.” He stops holding your hand and gives you a hard stare. “ I’m sorry, I am really sorry. I wish I could take it back but I can’t.”
He lets out a humourless laugh, “ Wow, and I was stupid enough to tell you everything. I told fucking things that I haven’t told anyone and you tell her. And to believe that I actually thought you liked me, cared for me--”
“ I do care! I like you so much Jungkook that for once in my life I was happy and I wasn’t tired,” you plead with tears in your eyes.
“ Get out. You used me, I don’t think I can ever so your face again. Leave.” Jungkook looks out his window not wanting to see your face as you leave his car.
“ Hey Y/N, where have you been? I’ve been looking everywhere--,” Heejin says but you hug her crying into her shoulder. “ It’s okay let it all out,” she pats your back soothing your whimpers.
“ I’m so sorry Heejin. I’m sorry, thank you for being my friend but I ruined it all,” you cry out. You feel Heejin looking around the halls and she leads you to the bathroom.
“ How...what have you ruined?” Heejin softly asks while pushing your hair out of your face.
“ I do awful things. You won’t like me after I tell you.” You look at her and she looks like an angel with her white dress.
She shakes her head, “ Tell me and I will find a way to understand.”
You tell her what you do and she looks confused half the time as you explain it going through each client you had but never stating their name. You expect her to yell at you, to look at you in shame, or just to simply leave but she doesn't do either of those things. Instead she hugs you tight, “ You must have been going through a rough time being all by yourself.”
“ Heejin… Jimin paid me to do this to you. I’m sorry, I don’t deserve your--”
“ But you told me the truth right now, you understand what you did was wrong and you are apologizing for it.” You shake your head and the tears are slowing down but your heart still hurts. “ It takes two people to make a transaction, you shouldn’t be the only one hurting, Y/N.”
“ Thank you Heejin. I..I uh I want to thank you for being a good friend. If we can still be friends…”
“ Y/N stop. We are still friends. Let’s get out of the restroom, it smells like weed,” she smiles and grabs your hand. You walk together towards her car and she tells you what’s been going on with her cat. It goes silent when she mentions Jimin. “ I have to talk about this to him,” she sighs and you squeeze her hand lightly.
The weeks pass by and you’re in your AP Physics class when Namjoon decides to sit next to you. “Why haven’t you’ve been sitting with us anymore?” He whispers while the teacher is lecturing.
“I’ve been busy with college admissions,” you tune out the teacher’s voice. He does a bad job at teaching anyways.
“Something happened between you and Jungkook, right ?”
“Why would you even need to ask me if you knew it already.” You roll your eyes and solve the problems for today’s homework.
“ You know I wanted to ask you out after you started hanging out with us.” He gives you a cheeky smile and you laugh. “ I told Jungkook that I was into you this was before the Chaeyong’s party...and he told me that you’re not into people with glasses.”
“Why would I not be into people with glasses when I sometimes wear them?” You stifle laughter with your hand.
He barks out a laugh and the teacher looks at you two but continues on. “ Jungkook doesn’t think through things. But I caught on that little Jungkookie had a crush on you.”
“ Not anymore,” you sigh.
“ Talk to him please. He looks like shit, he always looks at your table at lunchtime. Contemplating how to talk to you,” he looks at your homework and checks his answer.
“ What if he doesn’t want to listen to me?” You look at his answer to see a significant difference.
“He’ll listen. If he doesn’t tell him that you are going to date me,” he says jokingly. “ Y/N please help me with this,” pointing at his obvious wrong answer.
Heejin is waiting for you in the school parking lot wanting to eat at a new ramen place. Walking to her car you hear your name being called and it’s from Chaeyoung. What does she want, walking to her you, you see her smoking. “ Make it quick.”
“What a way to greet me,” she chuckles. “ How are you?” She flicks the cigarette on the floor and steps on it.
“ Good. See you later.” You say and turn around to leave.
“ We are still having sex.”
You stop and feel anger and sadness rising within you but you put it aside, “What do you want?”
“ I heard him cry when he was in the shower after we were done. I also heard him moan your name once when we were doing it.” She rolls her eyes and sighs, “ It’s meaningless sex anyways. I’m always facing away from him so he won’t see my face.”
“ Funny how he’s still talking to you,” you scoff. Jungkook doesn’t even look your way but he’s able to have sex with Chaeyoung.
“ He’s not talking to me, he fucks and just leaves. I guess that’s my punishment,” she arches her brow and shrugs her shoulder.
“You shouldn’t be punished like that Chaeyoung. It's not healthy for you,” you tell her softly.
“ I know,” she smiles tiredly. “ I’m putting an end to it, I can’t do this to myself, to him...to you.” You nod your head and part ways until she stops you, “Here like I promised.”
“No I don’t want it,” you stop her from giving you money. “ Chaeyoung it will make me feel bad.”
“Okay. See you later,” she goes into her car and walks the opposite way.
“Finally you're here! I’m starving!” Heejin yells with excitement as you enter her car.
“ This place better be good.” You tell her and she rants on how she always picks good restaurants. Your phone lights up and you see a notification from your bank. Did you forget to pay a bill. $10,000 has been transferred to your checking account.
---
The next day you decide to approach Jungkook during lunch and you get very nervous, shaking your leg throughout class. You walk with Heejin to his table and Jimin greets you. “ Hey Y/N,” he nods at you and  whisk Heejin from you, greeting her with kisses all over her face. Heejin confronted Jimin that day you broke down, they were able to talk it out and now they are dating.
“ Y/N! Sit here,” Namjoon pats next to the empty space between him and Namjoon. Jungkook doesn’t look at you just staring at his phone and browsing his social media.
“ Hey guys,” you sit down trying not to bump into Jungkook. Namjoon tells you how he fell down his bike while showing you his scrape. Jungkook doesn’t join the conversation just silently watching you both talk. You catch him a few times looking at you and your heart races a little.
The bell rings indicating lunchtime is over and everyone disperses while you take your time throwing your trash. “ Hey.” Jungkook is standing beside you and throws his trash away.
“ Hey,” you say back quietly. “ How’s your day?”
“ Good.” He scratches his neck and looks around the cafeteria. “ Are you going to the library?”
“ Yeah… you want to join me?” Please say yes.
“ Yeah I’ll come.” Jungkook walks beside you whistling lightly. The library is empty and you chose a table near the back.
“ I miss you,” Jungkook speaks out and looks at you.
Your eyes widen, “ I miss you too.”  
“ Why do you do it?”
“ What?”
“ I just want to know why you do it, is it for fun or money?” Jungkook scoots closer to you wanting to hear you clearly.
“ I don’t have enough money to go to college. I don’t want my parents to worry about paying for it. They work too hard. Adding my college tuition to their bills will take a toll on them. I don’t like what I do but I do it anyway.” You cut off the eye contact, looking away in shame.
Jungkook sighs and grabs your hand, “ I’m sorry. I got hot headed and ignored you. It would’ve been easier to not get mad at you if I heard your reasoning.” You look at him and he wipes your tears. “ Y/N...I uh I had sex with Chaeyoung during our time apart. I’m sorry I was mad and I wanted to hurt the both of you. I realized how much of a dick I was…”
“It’s okay Jungkook. I’m sorry too,” you sheepishly smile.
“Can we start all over?” He gives you his signature bunny smile and the butterflies flutter in your belly.
“Yes please,” you lean forward and hug tightly. He rubs your back and your entrance with the feeling of comfort.

let’s kick it.
Tumblr media
Anon said: Hii can i request a yuta scenario where he is just cocky af and a fuckboy but ends up being really sweet and you fall for him pls (:🌸
Yes, perfect. 
Pairing: Yuta/Reader
Word Count: 4100+
Summary: The end of the school year is approaching and the only obstacles ahead of you are graduation, prom, and Yuta. 
Senior year tends to be a bittersweet experience for most people, including yourself. You didn’t think it would fly by so fast and it’s all coming to an end after this week. With prom and commencement being the only things ahead of you, the feeling of relaxation is becoming a recurrence for you. You observe the surroundings of your associated student body room and think to yourself, “Hey, I’m probably not going to see any of these people for a very long time or never again!”. For you, it makes things a lot easier.
 Going off to college with a clean slate and having the ability to showcase your introduction skills to new peers makes you content. Until you’re brought back to reality that one of your colleagues is coming with you for the ride. Yuta Nakamoto. It is unfair to say that you can’t stand the guy because you two have never properly met but…you can’t stand him. Knowing each other’s names is good enough for you. Having the opportunity to choose from 10 colleges that accepted him and the odds of him choosing the same college as you is highly unlikely. But, Lady Luck thought wrong. You catch him in the middle of the room discussing with fellow classmates on final prom preparations. He always tends to get loud and obnoxious over the smallest of things and today is no different.
“What do you mean we couldn’t get the snapchat filter for prom? It’s literally five dollars! If ASB isn’t willing to pay for it, I’ll pay out of my own wallet for it.” Yuta exclaims while standing up. You roll your eyes and note that his actions are done to draw in more attention from other people in the room.
 “No one is stopping you, Nakamoto.”
 “Was I talking to you?” He retorts. You froze. Did I just say that out loud? You glance back at the boy causing a ruckus and look around the room as well. Everyone was staring at the both of you, waiting to see what is bound to happen. Yuta then walks over to where you are seated to bring the tension to a climax. You stand up to capture his eyes at a level that seems to fit the mood. You wouldn’t want him to have an advantage over this stupid argument that literally happened two seconds ago. He smirks and says,
 “Cat got your tongue, sweetheart? Do you want me to repeat the question again?” You can’t stand the way he talks to you as if you’re one of his fanclub members. If he stopped the faux sweet-talking you’d find a way to win this battle easily.
 “I said that no one is stopping you. Do you want me to simplify it for you? Go ahead and buy it yourself. The entire associated student body is not objecting your possible actions.” You smirk back at him enjoying the change of expression on his face. It stops once he comes back for more.
 “Alright, but I have one more thing to ask. Why do you care this much about my suggestion? Is prom a sensitive subject for you? No date? No plans?”
“It’s none of your business whether I have a date for prom or not. Just buy your precious snapchat filter and go.” With that ending thought, the class bell rings signaling the end of the school day. You pack up and head out for the door, leaving Yuta to compute what exactly just happened. Once leaving the building, you hear footsteps coming towards you and an arm around your shoulder following that.
 “DUDE, that was fucking wild!” That voice could only belong to the one and only Johnny Seo. He is a prime example of someone you would actually miss during the next four or so years of college. Being your trusted friend all throughout high school, he understood most if not all your problems and knows more about you than yourself. You’re not surprised that word spreads fast around here however, you’re more surprised by the fact that the campus found that discussion between you and Yuta worth talking about. Johnny lives for spilling the tea so, you’re more than happy to let him in on the details.
 “What do you want to know about it?” The two of you make it to your destination, your car. You grab the keys from your bag and unlock it for Johnny to hop in as shotgun. You then enter as well, turn on the ignition, and lock the doors. This afterschool tradition of driving to the nearest boba shop to spill the “tea” is what keeps you sane mostly. Johnny always gets a ride home from you so he makes it up for you by treating you to a drink.
 “NOOOOO, keep it in your mind until we make it to the shop! I’m not ready to hear!” He whines as he pretends to block you out by covering his ears. You roll your eyes and put your car on drive. You proceed to head to your designated destination, Tranquili-tea. This place was the main hangout joint for people of your age. You wouldn’t be surprised to see if Yuta would be there. Luckily, karma wanted to apologize and he wasn’t at the scene. You grab a table and pull out your phone to check the notifications. Nothing too out of the ordinary on Snapchat, some mentions on Twitter, and a message from your folks. Johnny soon returns with two drinks in his hands and his goofy ass smile.
 “An Okinawa milk tea with mini boba for you and a mango green tea slush for me! Ok now, SPILL IT” He says as he pokes his straw into his drink awaiting for your side of the story. You reluctantly sigh and begin to process your thoughts. You had wished that Johnny somehow forgot about the whole thing while ordering but you both know that would’ve never happened.
 “Nakamoto was complaining about the school not getting a Snapchat geofilter for prom and I just told him that no one is stopping him from purchasing it himself. No big deal honestly. I just wished that I kept that rebuttal in my mind rather than saying it out loud and embarrassing myself in front of people I probably won’t see again.” You say and then soon after taking a sip of your tea. It seemed a bit bitter today which symbolized how you felt honestly. You can’t stand the guy but that doesn’t mean that you’re willing to cause a scene over something as small as this.
 “There were no punches being made? No “WORLDSTAR” being shouted from the distance?” You absentmindedly blinked at Johnny. Where did he get these vivid thoughts from?
 “What the fuck are you going on about? Is that what people were saying?”
 “Yeah, they made it seem like you guys were at each other’s throats. The way you described the scene makes it seem like it was small, insignificant, and boring.”
 “Well, it was.”
 “Lame.” You give him a friendly hit on the shoulder and he pretends to be in pain.
 “I can’t believe you expected me to do something crazy. We literally have a week left of school. Why would I do something that would risk me losing my senior privileges.”
 “Very true. Speaking of senior activities, have you figured out your prom plans yet?” You’re glad Johnny switched topics. Prom is actually worth talking about. You had no idea where you were when it came to that. The only things that you had figured out was what you were going to wear and the accessories that came with it. However, that wasn’t as important as the “pre-prom ritual”. Where to eat and where to take pictures is definitely essential to you.
 “I thought we were gonna grab Italian and take pics by the park?” You look to a very confused Johnny. Is that not what we planned?
 “You thought correct however, I wasn’t referring to that. I was mostly referring to the date issue.” He then sends a wink your way. You smack the air around you and then state,
 “That’s not really an issue. I won’t die if I go stag, dude. You can bring that girl from psychology and I promise I won’t third-wheel with y’all.”
 “Really? Would you do that for me? That’s so sweet of you!” He says while pulling you into a hug. You could tell from ages ago that he had a thing for that girl in psych.
 “I’m sure there’s going to be people doing last minute promposals. You’ll definitely be one of them, I know it. You’re such a catch, who wouldn’t want to go to prom with you?”
 “You.”
 “Hey, watch it.” You laugh it off and start talking about other topics that seem to be on the top of your minds. Time flew by abruptly and stopped once someone came in. Since you were sitting right by the door, you couldn’t help but notice the figure walking towards the line. You suddenly duck down and hide behind your booth causing confusion for Johnny.
 “What’s going o- OH I SEE-” You then push Johnny down as well. You wished that he could actually keep his mouth shut for once, especially since Yuta decided to show up to the boba bar. However, Johnny thought different. He broke from your embrace and yells,
 “Yuta! How’s it going? Come over after you get your order!”
 “Hey, Seo! Yeah sure, I’ll be there!” Fuck, seriously? You got up from your seat and head for the door. Johnny grabs your wrist and stops you in your tracks.
 “Where do you think you’re going?”
 “Leaving.”
“You can’t leave now, the interesting part is bound to happen!”
 “What do you have up your sleeves?” He smirks and looks at his arms. He shrugs and says,
 “What sleeves? Can’t you see that I’m wearing a sleeveless top today.” This fucking fool. You were about to give him a piece of your mind when a disturbance in the environment was present. Present especially close to you. You look up to find Yuta awkwardly standing in front of the table carrying a drink quite similar to yours.
 “Twinsies?” Yuta points to your drink with his spare hand and you release an awkward chuckle.
 “Yeah, I guess so. Don’t be painfully awkward, sit down.” You make room for him and he obediently listens to your order. You take out your phone to look like you’re doing something and Yuta starts to sip his drink. Johnny could sense the atmosphere being somewhat awkward so he decides to break the ice. He stands up from his seat and says,
 “I’ll be right back, I got to take this phone call!” Johnny runs out of the shop and you give a deadpan expression. How dense can Johnny be to think that you would believe that was a real excuse? You snap back to reality once you realize that there’s a whole Yuta sitting there silently. You sigh and decide to get some closure.
 “Hey, Yuta? I’m sorry about today. I didn’t mean to make you look like a fool in front of class today. It wasn’t very ASB-like behavior. In all honesty, it’s great that you remembered about the Snapchat filter. People would love to post things with that on it.” You look him in the eyes awaiting his answer. His face turned was unreadable at first but it soon changed.
 “Oh, that thing? Pff, it wasn’t that big of a deal. I just thought it was really weird that you decided to butt in on a conversation that wasn’t even direct towards your committee. But, I forgive you. Also, my apologies for mentioning prom dates and stuff. That wasn’t cool of me exposing you in front of everyone.” He says with a smile. That wasn’t that bad, you think to yourself. You’re glad he’s being reasonable to you on the special occasion you actually talk to him. You decide that being his enemy when there’s one week left of school isn’t the best thing to do so, making conversation would be the better alternative. You observe Yuta and realize that he’s sporting your future university on his hoodie. Your university and his university. You point at his hoodie and say,
 “I totally forgot you’re going to attend there in the fall with me.” He looks down to his hoodie unclear of what he was wearing at that time and looks back up with a smile. No wonder he’s known in the yearbook as “healing smile”.
 “Oh yeah! I do recall you being in my tour group on campus day. Are you excited? I sure am.”
 “Yeah, mixed feelings. But honestly, I’m kinda glad I won’t be seeing most of these people for the rest of my life.”
“Hopefully you’ll be seeing me on campus.”
 “Yuta, the incoming freshmen class is around 6000 or so.”
 “Atleast study with me!”
 “I don’t know you that well, how am I supposed to know that you’re actually gonna study?” He blankly blinks at you and processes what he wants to say next. He then puts out his hand and awaits you to shake it. You do what he wants and end up shaking his hand. He smiles and exclaims,
 “Hi, I’m Yuta Nakamoto! Graduating senior and incoming college freshman in the fall. I love playing soccer and will be playing in college. I love to eat food especially takoyaki. Also, Sicheng is my best friend. You know him right? The co-captain of the dance team? Anyway...since we are both attending the same university, it would be a pleasure to keep in touch during the next four years. If we suffer in high school together, we might as well suffer in college together too.”
 “God, you’re so extra!” You retract your arm back while laughing and he laughs. You admit that judging the book by its cover was probably a bad idea and now you’re somewhat happy that you actually got to talk to him.
 “Well, it has to be a two-way street here. I want to know more about you!” You start to think of things to tell Yuta. My hobbies? My favorite color? Any instruments I play?
 “Uh...well, I’m-”
 “Hey, sorry guys! Did I interrupt something?” You both look up to Johnny who finally came back from his “phone call”. He sits down from across the two of you and you glance over to your phone. You start packing up and state,
 “It’s getting late. We should head out, Johnny.”
 “Seriously? But I just sat down! Plus, I haven’t even finished my boba!” You can sense Johnny is coming up with excuses at this point but, you’re not buying them. You practically drag Johnny out of his seat and glance over to Yuta.
 “Sorry, Yuta! My parents are expecting me to be home in a bit and I also have to drive this dunce home. It was nice talking to you!”
 “That’s fair. See you around, you two! Drive safe!” With his final words, you successfully dragged Johnny out of the cafe and into your car. You start up the car and leave the parking lot without a word. You then glance to a not-so-happy Johnny.
 “What’s your deal?”
 “Dude, could you not see what I saw?” What exactly could Johnny see?
 “Stop being vague and spill it?”
 “Yuta, dude. He’s totally into you.”
 “That’s bull and you know it.”
 “You should’ve seen the way he was looking at you. Dude, major heart eyes.”
 “You’re such a kid, Seo.”
 “Oh my god, what if HE asks you out to prom?” Prom? With Yuta? Yeah right. You highly doubt he was still available as a date considering how many girls are head over heels for him. It’s not that you wouldn’t want to go to prom with him, it’s more like a “you wouldn’t expect it and if he didn’t ask you, you wouldn’t care” kind of thing.
 “Please be realistic, Johnny. I saw at least three prom posters made for him in the last week. Plus, I barely know the guy. Things would be extremely awkward.” He slightly chuckles in his seat and declines it a bit.
 “Suit yourself. Just don’t be too surprised when he pulls out a poster in the quad during lunch.”
 “Yeah and then Berkeley will send me another email saying that my rejection letter was fake and they’ll award me with a full ride.”
 “You’re still bitter about that, aren’t you?”
 “College wounds are always present, loser.” You finally make it to Johnny’s house and pull up on his driveway. He thanks you for the ride and leaves for the front door. You pull out of his driveway and drive about another block away to make it to your own house. Today was so extraneous and all you wanted was some good sleep. You greet your parents, tell them that you’re skipping out on dinner and will have a big breakfast instead and head for the bedroom. After refreshing yourself and changing into your night attire, you hop into bed and charge your phone. You scroll aimlessly on your tiny glowing screen for a good 15 minutes until you get a text message from an unknown number
 [Unknown] 10:01: Hey, it’s Yuta. I got your number from Johnny, I hope that’s okay!
 You groaned to yourself and hid your head underneath a pillow. Are you fucking serious, Johnny? Rather than silently plotting Johnny’s demise, you decided to text Yuta back.
 [Me] 10:04: oh, hi. that’s fine. what’s up?
 [Yuta] 10:04: Nothing really, I just wanted to make sure you got home safe :-)
[Me] 10:05: oh that’s sweet of you!! yeah, i’m really tired though.
 [Yuta] 10:06: AHHHH i’m so sorry !!! I won’t text you anymore then !! please sleep well and see you physics then! Try not to dream of me ;^)
 Winky face? How greasy of him. You laugh to yourself and lock your phone. Geez, Johnny might be onto something… But I can’t rely on his tiny intuition to make any assumptions. I should just sleep it off. Tomorrow is a new day.
 The next day was a new day, in fact, it was too new. In the sense that you were greeted with gifts on your desk during first period. On your desk, there laid a notebook of some sorts and also a boba tea drink.
 “Isn’t it a bit too early to be consuming such thing?” You turned around and saw Johnny.
 “Who did this?”
 “Why would I know?” He smirked.
 “Because of that look on your face. Just tell me!” He begins to walk over and then whispers something in your ear. You aren’t able to listen correctly due to the school bell ringing. People start trickling in and Johnny heads back to his desk. You look at him angrily and he shrugs his shoulder in a friendly-like manner. That prick. You sit down and begin to examine the notebook in front of you. The first page reads, ‘ Be sure to head to the quad during lunch! ’. You slam the book close and cover your head with your arms. Oh no....Johnny really was right. Yuta really is onto something…
 “Is there something wrong?” You look up and your teacher is right by your desk. You flash him a smile and reassure him that you’re okay. He tells you that it’s a free period due to the fact that the school year is practically over and lets you do your own thing. You run to Johnny’s desk soon after demanding answers.
 “It’s Yuta, isn’t it?”
 “You cracked the case, Sherlock.” You grab a chair near by and sit across from him in an interrogation fashion.
 “Spill it.” He reluctantly rests his head on his left hand and begins to speak.
 “There’s not much to say. Yuta has a thing for you and I knew it from the start. I should’ve placed money on it… Please show up to the quad during lunch today. It would be embarrassing if you didn’t.”
 “Why should I go? I don’t even know much about the guy.”
“Trust me, I know Yuta like the palm of my hand. He’s actually a great guy. Yeah, he’s a bit cocky but that’s just him not trying to be a rug for people to step on. He’s actually such a softie.” Johnny gives you the “puppy dog eyes” and you roll your eyes.
 “I can’t believe this is happening…”
 “Me either! You’re growing up so fast. First college acceptance, now prom date? I feel like a parent.” He puts his right hand on your shoulder and you move it back to his desk.
 “Just... make sure no one records anything.”
 “No promises.”
The lunch bell rings and you pack your stuff up quite slower than usual. Your heart begins to beat extremely fast and you keep telling yourself to stop it. You couldn’t understand why Yuta possibly asking you to prom was such a big deal. He could be asking you as a friend. That would make things a lot better. But also, what if he wasn’t? Yuta isn’t that bad looking. He does have a great smile… what am I doing? You snap yourself out of it and head for the quad. You are then stopped by none other than Yuta himself.
 “Hey, loser. Mind following me for a bit?” That’s it, the moment of truth.
 “Sure?” He then goes behind you and covers your eyes with his hands. He tells you to go forward until he tells you to stop. Finally reaching your destination, you hear chatter in the distance and silence once Yuta takes his hands off your eyes. You are greeted with the sight of a soccer goal post and a soccer ball not too far from it. A poster hangs in the center labeled, ‘Let’s KICK IT at PROM?’ and two smaller posters placed on the left and right respectively saying ‘YES’ and ‘NO’. You look to Yuta on your right and he sports that huge smile of his.
 “Well, I hope you’re a good kicker like me.” You laugh and walk over to the soccer ball. You kick it with great force towards the ‘YES’ and the crowd surrounding you goes wild. You turn around and Yuta comes towards you with arms wide open. You embrace him and your heart is beating quite rapidly. Wait, that’s his heart not mine. You look up to him and his smile seemed to have gotten bigger, if that was possible. The commotion that took place in the quad had to be soon evacuated because it was getting too loud. That sooner or later left you with Yuta to clean up the area and take the goal post back to the sports facility after school. The walk there had been quiet but you decided to finally ask him about his promposal on the walk back.
 “So, why me? Why prompose to me the day after having a petty discussion with you?” He looks to you and laughs.
 “You do realize that I knew you even before that? Just because we never talked doesn’t mean I don’t know of your existence. Johnny is my best friend too.”
 “Johnny…he’s getting such an earful later.”
“Spare him, please! He’s the one who helped me out with this. But as I was saying, I know about you quite well actually. Being in a few classes with you this year has allowed me to see how you are and you’re honestly such a cool person. I’m terrible at interacting with people so when you decided to speak up during ASB yesterday, I made a mistake. I wanted to talk with you, not argue with you. Bad first impression, right?”
 “Tell me about it.” He playfully hits your shoulder and you fake cry out in pain.
 “Hey, only I can be the sarcastic one here. Anyway, I wanted to prompose to you because Johnny informed me that you still didn’t have a date. I honestly couldn’t believe that for one minute but, I had to think fast. So yeah, I thought prom would be a nice way of getting to know each other on a face to face basis rather than getting information from a secondary source. I hope that isn’t too creepy for you…” You try to process all the things he said considering he said it completely at twice the normal speaking speed. You stop him in his tracks and he looks to you confused. You walk closer to him and place a small and gentle kiss on his cheek. Content with your action, you walk ahead and look back to a flustered Yuta. You laugh at him and say,
 “Come on, let’s go grab some boba. It’s on me.”
