A bright and early new day, it was.

Jungkook had forced himself to get up early, wanting to stare at your sleeping form for a little while longer. His eyes stare intently at your face, lips pressed together in a small but evident smile. He watches and watches, intrigued by your sudden eyebrow twitches, your hand reaching up to rub your eye and your occasional light snores. Everything about you seemed to intrigue him.

"Stop staring so much."

Jungkook flinches when he hears this, recognising the voice to have come from the back seat. He spins around to glare at the owner of the voice, piercing his gaze through Kai. Kai was sitting cross-legged, arms folded on his chest and an annoyed look on his face. He truly hated Jungkook, but still felt grateful towards him for many things. Jungkook scoffs mockingly, "Shut up."

Kai's eyebrow twitches in anger and he forces himself not to get violent. His gaze travels from Jungkook's annoyed face to your sleeping one, eyes softening immediately. "Can't blame you for staring though," He mumbles, also entranced by your adorable self.

Jungkook grew annoyed at the way Kai was staring at you, and decided to confront him about everything he had said before. "Kai..." He begins, watching as Kai's eyes meet Jungkook's. "What?" He asks, voice sharp.

Jungkook bites his lips, averting his gaze as to not make direct eye contact. "Do you still love Y/N?" Although he wanted to ask about the past, something in him forced him to ask this question instead. Jungkook watches as Kai's face becomes slightly pink, and a soft smile spreads on his face. "Of course I do. I'm aware of how you feel about her but that does not change the fact that I have known her for a long time. She is and always will be my first and last love."

Jungkook felt himself get confused over what to feel at that. He felt jealous, but also he knew Kai was right. The main thing keeping Jungkook from knowing more about you was your privacy about your past. He finds himself moving to sit up straight, eyes never leaving Kai's harsh ones. Jungkook tilts his head, his jaw clenching unintentionally, "I love her too. More than you think." Although Jungkook's voice was laced with determination and strength, his face displayed an unknown emotion. Kai caught this look on his face, an eyebrow unknowingly going up. The red-haired boy smirks, realising that he had finally found a fault in the so called 'coconut boy'. "What did you do, Jeon?" He mumbles, a dark but wary look being evidently shown in his dark pupils.

Upon hearing this question being spoken with a hint of knowingness in Kai's voice, Jungkook's jaw unclenches and his eyes widen. He knows that he has been caught by Kai's observant and mysterious eyes. "I-I didn't do anything."

Kai's smirk deepens when hearing this, eyebrow going higher and higher. Caught him, Kai thinks to himself, Wonder what this saint might've done.

"You definitely did." Kai says, trying to think about what Jungkook, the boy who couldn't even see another guy look at you, would have done that he assumed you didn't approve of.

Jungkook chuckles in nervousness, a bead of sweat dripping down the side of his forehead. He didn't want to tell Kai, in fear of him opening his mouth and telling you. "I'll tell you all when the time is right," Jungkook lets out after a long pause.

Kai's smirk falls, eyebrow returning back to its original place on his face, "So it's that bad, huh?" He was surprised, he never thought Jungkook had done something wrong. What could he have done?

Just as Kai was about to say something else, the two of them hear a soft moan, and their heads turn to see you slowly getting up from your position on the seat. You slowly sit up, hair a mess with one hand ruffling it, your left arm being utilised to prop yourself up. Your left eye was shut because of the bright light coming from outside the window, and you finally open it, turning around to see Jungkook and Kai both looking at you with weird looks on their face.

You make eye contact with Jungkook who immediately looks away and you turn back to Kai, who also refuses to look at you, averting his eyes immediately. You furrow your eyebrows in confusion, looking back and forth at the pair. You raise an eyebrow, "What were y'all talking about, huh?"

They both whip their heads to face you.

Jungkook lets out a shout, "Nothing!", while Kai just shrugs.

You turn back around, disappointment displayed on your face. "Weird," You mumble, adjusting your seat so you could sit properly.
