《in time ✱ j. jungkook》✱ chapter twenty-eight

I was shocked. What the hell just happened?

Why did Jungkook get so defensive? I was only trying to help him.

He was miserable, I know he was. But why?

"Miyoung," Taehyung breaks me out of my thoughts. "Just ignore him, let's enjoy our date. I don't want him or Miyeon ruining our special day today."

I purse my lips, still watching their now disappearing figure.

He was right. Technically, this date was only supposed to be Taehyung and I. There was no way I was going to let anything ruin this, especially Jungkook.

I've waited so long for this moment.

I turn around and beam at him. "You're right. Wanna ride the ferris wheel?"

He nods and takes my hand, leading me to the ferris wheel.

I had to remove all thoughts of Jungkook right now. I was on a date with Taehyung, I shouldn't let any thoughts about Jungkook cloud my mind.

I want to enjoy this date as much as I can.

We were getting on the ferris wheel. The worker tightened the seat belt and we were off.

It was quiet between us, but it wasn't an awkward silence. It was peaceful. We were too busy admiring the view.

"Hey," Taehyung calls. I turn my head and look at him. "I'm sorry, about Jungkook and all. I didn't think it was going to end up like this."

I nod. "It's okay, it's not your fault."

He sighs. "I agree with you, though. Jungkook didn't look like he was having fun at all with Miyeon."

"I don't know why he blew up like that," I say. "I was only trying to help."

Taehyung mutters something under his breath that I couldn't catch.

"What?" I ask, but he dismisses it.

I look out to see the view.

I feel Taehyung scooting closer to me and wrapping an arm around me. I laugh and turn to face him, a cheeky smile enveloping his face.

"That was such a cheesy move." I comment.

Taehyung beams. "Well, we're at the top of the ferris wheel. I think you know what that means."

I giggle while feeling the blush starting to take over. "Yep."

He starts to lean in, his eyes fluttering shut. I purse my lips and follow his actions.

His lips were now on mine, our movements were slow. He scoots closer and hugs me with that one arm that he had previously wrapped around.

I cup his cheek with one hand, my other hand leaning on his arm.

Butterflies. All I felt was butterflies.

We broke apart, foreheads leaning against each other. Our breaths were hitting each other's cheeks.

I was sure my face was bright red by now. I purse my lips to hide a smile.

"Wow." He breathes, making me giggle. "You– I–, wow."

"Same." I whisper, giggling again.

The ferris wheel comes to a stop. We hop off, our hands intertwined as we run to get some funnel cake.

"Sit here, I'll be right back with some funnel cake." Taehyung cheekily orders me, going in line to buy some funnel cake.

I smile at him and rest my head on my hand, my eyes dancing around. There were so many couples, some with kids and some on dates.

Everyone looked so happy.

The kiss was replaying over and over in my head, my cheeks immediately burning up at the memory.

Taehyung. He sure knows how to make a girl feel special.

I look and spot Jungkook and Miyeon a couple tables away.

Miyeon was feeding him french fries, while Jungkook accepted them with a bored look on his face.

I was confused. He goes off on me because I was trying to see if he was okay, and he goes off with her and still acts bored? I don't get him.

But he told me to butt out, and that's exactly what I was planning on doing. I didn't want any more negativity radiating off of him and onto our date.

Taehyung soon comes back with a funnel cake in his hand. He grins and sets it down, sitting opposite of me.

"Let's dig in!" He says enthusiastically, making me laugh and grab a piece of a funnel cake.

The entire time we were throwing pieces of the funnel cake onto each other, cracking jokes and laughing so hard that our stomachs hurt.

The date sadly had to come to an end. He led me to his car and we drove off to my house, still joking and laughing.

"I had so much fun today," I admit once we reach my house. He blushes and gets out of the car to open my side of the door. "Thank you for an incredible night, despite the little drama."

I kiss him on the cheek, causing his cheeks to redden even more. I giggle at his face.

"Thank you for coming with me. I hope we can do this again sometime." He says.

I grin. "I'd love to."

We bid our goodbyes and I walk in my house, immediately sliding down against my door as the events of tonight replayed over and over in my head.

I really like Taehyung.

I don't know why I exploded the way I did.

Maybe it's because Taehyung and Miyoung were having a blast while I was stuck with Miyeon.

Maybe it's because Taehyung and Miyeon were rubbing their stupid love story in front of my face.

Maybe it's because Miyeon was a terrible date and it affected my mood drastically.

Or maybe it's because I couldn't get Miyoung to look at me the entire time, no matter what I did.

I bit the inside of my cheeks as I sat down with Miyeon on the benches. After I lashed out at Miyoung, I lead her away and I tried to have some fun with Miyeon.

I couldn't stand watching Taehyung and Miyoung acting all lovey-dovey right in front of me.

I took Miyeon to some booths and we played a little. I started to have some fun until Miyeon wanted to ride the ferris wheel.

There was nothing wrong with ferris wheels, in fact I enjoyed them a lot.

It's what I saw on the ferris wheel that completely crushed me.

We were in line for the next turn on the ferris wheel, Miyeon clinging onto me for dear life.

I watched all the couples on the ferris wheel and how in love they looked.

But one particular couple at the top of the ferris wheel caught my eye.

And that couple just so happened to be Taehyung and Miyoung.

I felt my insides churning and twisting as I watched the next scenes unfold.

He wrapped his arm around her and scooted closer to her. She laughed at something he said, and then they started to lean in.

And then it happened. They were kissing.

I felt my heart drop and crack down at the pit of my stomach. I couldn't look away, no matter how hard I tried.

They finally pulled away once they were reaching the bottom. Taehyung grabbed her hand and they rushed past us without seeing us, both of them smiling with their cheeks bright red.

It hurt so much.

I gulp and blink a couple times, turning to Miyeon. "I don't feel so good, could we ride the ferris wheel another time?" I say, being careful to not let my voice betray me.

She gives me a worried look and nods, leading me to the benches by the food stands. She tells me she's going to get some french fries to see if that'll make me feel better and leaves me alone.

Once I was alone, I felt the tears starting to brim against the corners of my eyes.

Jungkook, what the hell? You can't be crying over a girl, that's so uncool.

Anger coursed through my veins, soon hit with another wave of sadness, then another wave of anger.

I wipe my eyes and look around and spot Miyoung by herself.

My heart stops. Miyoung.

Will she ever see me the way I see her? Why couldn't it have been me on this date with her?

Why did I choose Miyeon out of all people?

That's right, because I thought that she could help my mind get rid of all Miyoung related thoughts.

Also because I knew that she hated Miyoung. If she started saying bad things about her, maybe I would start to go along with it as well.

But that wasn't going to help seeing that her and Taehyung were about to suck each other's faces off right in front of us.

Will there ever be a time where I can come out clean and admit my feelings for her?

And Taehyung... what did he have up his sleeves to invite me to this date when he knows I like her as well?

Did he want to see me lose?

I glance at Miyoung one more time before looking back at Miyeon who had a tray of french-fries in her hands.

I really like Miyoung.
