#Tae's POV…
Have you ever noticed that Kookie has very pretty eyes? See, look at them. Wait, what? Oh man, he caught me staring at him! I whipped my head around as nonchalantly and quickly as I could.
To my relief, the class was easy and didn't require me to interact with anyone else. Surely they'd have teased me. At the end of math, I stayed behind to ask the teacher about the lesson. I didn't quite understand how you get the average of a set by... Adding and dividing? Or was it multiplying?
Anyways, afterward, I went out to the lunchroom and saw Wooshik approaching Kookie. Two-face! He only wanted something that I did too.
❝Since you aren't Taehyung's boyfriend, will you go to the grad dance with me?❞ Wooshik asked Kookie. How could he do this? How could I let this happen? I should've asked Kookie to get more serious-
❝No... You sure hit the ground hard...❞ I swear I heard Kookie say that. Thank God! Oh, buddy, you don't know how worried I was. I listened to Kookie spit a reply in Wooshik's face, and then I followed him to another table.
❝So, I asked you to the grad dance?❞ I asked teasingly.
❝Yeah, sorry, I just wanted to get out of that situation,❞ He replied with a giggle. I understood.
I decided to take a risk. ❝But in all seriousness, are we going to the grad dance together?❞
❝Oh, well, only if you want to...❞ Did Kookie think that I didn't want to? If so, he was most certainly wrong.
❝Of course I do! I just wasn't sure that you wanted to,❞ I said, trying very hard to conceal the grin that was growing on my face.
Kookie shook his head. ❝No, I'm going to turn down the person I've liked for six years.❞
I laughed at this remark and we sat in comfortable silence. I could feel his gaze on me as I looked down, so I looked up at her, locking eyes. How could I have ever wanted to run away from Jeon Jungkook?

As I dumped my books into my bike basket, I could feel Wooshik's presence near me.
❝So, you're good to the dance with Kookie?❞ I heard his voice say.
I nodded as I spun around. ❝Yup, sure, am,❞ I said with a smirk.
Wooshik laughed. ❝You know, I asked him on account of a dare, but I didn't actually think he'd get a date. Somehow, you two never fail to surprise me.❞
❝Just leave us both alone. That was a total jerk move and I don't understand why you're acting like this,❞ I spat at him.
He pushed me, and as I was going to shove him back I felt a pair of hands grab my wrist. Turning around, I saw Kookie and it came to me that this was wrong.
❝Don't be stupid,❞ He whispered before pulling me away. I nodded and followed him off to the side of the school.
❝What was that?❞ Kookie asked, more demanding. I could see in his eyes that he was unhappy.
I sighed. ❝Kook, he was making fun of us. Of you! I wasn't going to let him do that!❞
Shaking his head, Kookie's expression softened. ❝Who cares? For six years people made fun of me, and I just did one thing. Ignore...I ignored them.❞
❝But Koo-❞ ⁍Oh My!!⁌
I was cut off by a gentle sensation on my lips. Suddenly I felt more aware of everything and noticed his hand in mine; his lips on mine; Mine! I might get my first heart attack & for sure in upcoming days, months or years i will get these attacks more. Our physical closeness. Abruptly he stepped away and looked down. ❝Sorry...❞ He mumbled.
❝No! I mean no, it's fine,❞ I said, more than okay with what he had done.
❝No!❞ He says sternly. ❝I-I should've asked.❞
❝Well then,...❞ I said quietly, waiting for the words to form in my head. ❝Can I kiss you? IF! If...if you're comfortable doing?❞
Kookie looked into my eyes, his face a mixture of surprise and excitement.
❝Yes,❞ He mumbled before crashing his lips onto mine. He tasted sweet, like strawberries. I savored the moment and when it ended there was but one thing on my mind.
❝Kookie,❞ I began. ❝Will you be my boyfriend?❞
He giggled and said, ❝OH, MY YES!❞ and laced his fingers with mine. ❝I think we need to go,❞ He said with a pang of sadness.
❝You're probably right. But who says that we won't see each other tomorrow?❞ I could stay here forever with Kookie. But I knew I shouldn't. ❝Well, we still have the ride home together.❞
❝That's true,❞ he replied contentedly. And we were content. Happy, even
To have this off our chests and instead in the small space between us. As we raced down the streets, I watched in amazement as Kookie's hair flew gracefully, carefree. He's beautiful. So pretty. My heart will explode because of his prettiness. And today? Probably the most memorable day for me, like, ever.
