"Park Miyoung!" My teacher snapped at me, causing me to break out of my trance. "It'd be lovely if you came back from dreamland and focused on the lesson. All of this is going to be on the next test, and I'm sure you out of all people don't want to fail it."

"Yes sir." I muttered under my breath, subtly rolling my eyes.

He hummed and turned back around to continue his lesson.

I huffed out a breath and began to take notes.

I felt a nudge by my side. I turn my head to see Nayoung with a confused look etched on her face. "You alright?"

Nodding, I turn back to my notes. "Yeah, I'm okay." I whisper and continue to write down what my teacher was explaining.

Lie. I was not fine.

All of my thoughts had been currently all about the one and only Jeon Jungkook, and I didn't know why.

For some reason, it bothered me a ton when he said that it was just a stupid dare. He said it so... bluntly and without a care in the world, and it ticked me off.

Why?

Why was I so bothered about it?

It had been almost a week since the incident occurred and I hadn't been the same since. I had been constantly avoiding both Jungkook and Taehyung like the plague.

I don't know why I had thrown Taehyung into the mix. Maybe it was still because I was embarrassed over the whole ordeal that he literally sat on me for a good thirty minutes without budging to get up.

Why was I overthinking this whole thing?

Taehyung had noticed that I was trying my hardest to avoid him, and he didn't do much to try to talk to me.

The one time he did, I bowed and ran away from him as quickly as I could. After that, he didn't try to talk to me again.

I would catch his gaze every now and then, but that was the most contact we exchanged the whole week. Neither one of us dared to say a word to the other.

The thought itself made me upset. I don't want to lose Taehyung over some of my stupid thoughts that made no absolute sense. Taehyung is someone that I hold dear to my heart.

And as for Jungkook? Well... it seems like he's been avoiding me as well.

Every time we see each other in the hall or in the classes, we both look away and focus on other things that don't involve each other in any way.

Why is he avoiding me though? Was he embarrassed about the kiss as well? Or was I too cold on him when I left his house?

Well, can you blame me?

Not that I was complaining that he was avoiding me though... it made this a whole lot easier for me.

The bell rang, signalling that the class was finally over and it was time for lunch. I quickly began to gather my lunch and tugged on Nayoung's sleeve. "Can we eat outside today?"

She sighed , throwing her backpack over her shoulder as she gave me a knowing look. "Again? Miyoung, you know that you can't avoid them forever. You're going to have to face them sooner or later."

I nodded. "And I choose later. Please?" I begged her as I followed her out of the classroom, making sure not to look at Jungkook and Taehyung who happened to be standing near the door.

Nayoung grabbed my arm and pulled me with her just before Taehyung could open his mouth. We rush to the cafeteria to get our food and head to our special spot outside.

She sighs as she places her tray in front of me, sitting down. I follow her actions and immediately start digging in my food.

"Miyoung, I'm serious," Nayoung continues our conversation from a couple minutes ago. "Avoiding them is doing you no good. What do you gain from it?"

I cock an eyebrow up and look at her incredulously. "Well for starters I gain not talking to them which is a huge weight lifted up from my chest."

"Even Taehyung?" She wiggles her eyebrows at me.

I sigh. "Even Taehyung. I don't know, it's just awkward with him."

She scoffs. "That's because you're making it out to be awkward. It doesn't have to be. It was just a dare, right?"

My teeth grit together once I hear what she says, immediately triggering what Jungkook had coldly said to me that night.

"Yeah, I know," I harshly mutter out, ignoring her taken aback expression. "I just overthink everything and take it the wrong way, I get it."

"Woah, no need to get all defensive," Nayoung says, putting her hands up defensively. "I just want to help you."

I sigh and play with my food, no longer interested in eating. "It's not like I'm the only one doing all the avoiding, Jungkook's been avoiding me too."

She hums. "And does him avoiding you bother you?"

I bite the inside of my cheek, pondering on her question. It shouldn't, it really shouldn't be bothering if he's avoiding me or not. It shouldn't. If anything, I should be overjoyed that he isn't annoying me anymore.

But why am I feeling this way?

"A little," I admit, my cheeks starting to heat up. "I don't know, I guess I'm just used to him being wherever I was and always beating me."

Even when he wasn't trying, he beat me in my own thoughts. It seemed like he just took control of my mind and let all of my thoughts be of him.

Occasionally of Taehyung.

"So you admit that Jungkook has become someone important in your life?" Nayoung pushes, leaning in closer with a small smirk on her face.

I glare at her. "Okay, now that's just overreacting. That's not what I said at all."

She winks and leans back, popping a carrot in her mouth. "Alrighty," She sings out. "What about Taehyung? He doesn't really deserve this, he was just completing a dare. He didn't want to look like a pussy in front of his friends and more importantly, in front of you."

I blink. "In front of me? Why would that matter?"

Nayoung gapes at me, her mouth slightly hung open. "You do remember he confessed that he liked you... right?"

My heart did a flip as I recalled when he pulled me out of the class to confess to me. "Right. It's been so long."

"It's been like a month, not that long," She says. "Are you ever going to return his confession?"

"You know, I was thinking about doing that at the dance. I've been hoping that he would ask me, but looking at the situation between us now, the chances of that happening are slim."

"That's why you gotta talk to him and get all this stupid, awkward tension out of the way!" She slams her fist on the table, momentarily making me jolt in my seat before glaring at her.

Before I could say something snarky back at her, I heard faint singing from behind me. I furrow my eyebrows and look at Nayoung and was about to ask her what was happening, but her eyes were wide open and her mouth was covered by her hand. She looked at me and quickly did a hand motion to turn around.

I blink and turn around, immediately gasping at what I saw.

In front of me were the five boys I had played Truth or Dare the week before, a couple of other unrecognizable boys and some girls. They were singing to Eyes Nose and Lips by Taeyang.

The five boys consisted of Yoongi, Jimin, Seokjin, Namjoon and Hoseok up in front. There was no sign of Taehyung nor Jungkook.

The rest of the boys and girls were behind the five boys, taking small strides behind them. One of the boys held the boombox that was playing the karaoke version of the song as they sang along to it.

Nayoung came up to me, sitting next to me with her hand still clamped over her mouth.

"What is this?" I whisper over to her.

Not receiving an answer from her, I huff my breath and continue facing to the group.

They had finally reached our table, which meant that this kind gesture was meant for either Nayoung or I.

Then it all clicked in my head. This was someone trying to ask one of us to the dance next week!

I gasped and looked to Nayoung. "Is Hoseok asking you to the dance right now?"

She didn't respond again, leaving me still in the dust.

All of the sudden the sea of people split in half, revealing Jungkook with some flowers in one hand and a poster in the other.

He had a nervous expression dancing on his face, but you could tell that he was trying his hardest to look as cool as he possibly could in front of everybody.

Jungkook reached Nayoung and I, holding the flowers and sign confidently in his hands.

Behind him, the five boys plus a random guy each held up a piece of paper that spelled the word

My eyes widened when I see Jungkook stand in front of me, holding out the sign and the flowers.

The sign read:

Flowers are the second most beautiful thing, can I take the first to the dance?

My cheeks immediately start heating up as I dart my eyes to face Jungkook, who's face was also burning red. He had a shy smile on his face.

"Miyoung, will you go to the dance with me?"
