You don’t know when this started. You don’t know when the late night talks, the 2 am walks, or the random visits for cuddles after midnight began. It was just something that developed over the span of your friendship. A restless sigh slips past your lips, the thoughts running through your head are keeping you awake.
You turn over onto your stomach in your bed, trying to will yourself to fall asleep.
Burying your face into your pillows, you let out a scream. It’s nights like this where you wish you had a boyfriend to lie next to. To just talk about what’s going through your head, but instead, you can make a forty minute car drive to see your best friend.
That’s exactly what you do. You don’t bother to change from your pajama shorts to some sweatpants or at least pajama pants. You just grab your phone, wallet, and keys as you make your way to the front door. Right before you leave though, you decide to slip on a hoodie as you slip on your fluffy bunny slippers.
Within forty minutes, you make it to your destination. The dorms. ‘He should be here,’ You thought quietly as you knock on the door loudly. You also send him a quick text, letting him know you’re standing outside.
Your best friend, Jeon Jeongguk or mostly known as Jeon Jungkook, has been your best friend since you both started secondary school together. Whilst your friendship has not been long and it’s had a strain on it due to his career, you both still managed to become best friends.
The other six members of BTS welcomed you with open arms after you met them at graduation. You were about to knock on the door when it’s suddenly swung open. You’re greeted with a tired looking Jeongguk. His hair is sticking up, his eyes puffy, and it looks like the white shirt he is wearing is going to slip off of him any moment.
You can see his collarbone and his left shoulder. “Y/N?” He rubs his eyes with his hands, making sure it’s actually you. He barely managed to read your text message, he was trying not to fall back asleep on you.
“You’re not imagining me,”
“You knocked on my door at one in the morning, to cuddle?” His voice is raspy and slurred from sleep. You can tell he’s slightly annoyed from being woken up, but when it comes to you, he seems to get over it quickly.
You don’t reply to him as he steps aside to let you in. You didn’t realize how cold you actually were until the warm air of the dorm hits your face and legs. I guess that’s what you get for leaving the car windows down on the drive over here.
He takes your hand into his before leading you throughout the dark door and to his room. It’s something the both of you do often, holding hands. The boys tease you of your friendship with Jeongguk. They always say that the two of you act like a couple more than best friends.
The two of you always just brush them off, but the thoughts in your mind tonight made you realize something. The thought has frightened you. They are thoughts that seem to haunt you in the daytime too.
The two of you climb into his bed, immediately moving closer to each other. The both of you are facing each other, legs intertwined, whilst fingers are laced together.
“Is something bothering you or you just can’t sleep?” You take notice of how much more awake he sounds, even if it’s not much. You release a heavy sigh through your nose. Your eyes scan over his features with the little light that the moon is providing through his windows.
“I’ve been thinking too much lately,” You mutter, your heartbeats are beating faster when you feel him squeeze your hand.
“Thinking about what?” He whispers, not feeling the need to talk any louder than that. After all, it’s one in the morning. You two tell each other everything, no matter how small or embarrassing it may be.
“Love,”
“Love?” He questions and you can see the curious look taking over his sleepy features. Maybe this is the time to tell him, how you truly feel about him.
Your heart is pounding loudly and you let out a shaky breath. You suddenly feel really nervous and you are starting to think that if you coming here tonight was such a good idea.
But you honestly can’t deal with the thoughts and daydreams you have during the day and the dreams that you have at night when you can sleep. You’re always thinking about him. Jeon Jeongguk. Your best friend and your first love.
You always think about the long hugs that the two of you share. The stares and glances you two share when you’re across the room from one another. The hand holding, the once innocent-looking late night or early morning walks seem more like dates to you the more you think about them.
The late night giggles and whispers that the two of you share on nights and mornings make your heart flutter. He’s always on your mind, even when you’re not realizing it.
“I-I think I’m in love with you, and that scares the crap out of me.” You blurt, your eyes screwed shut as you wait for the rejection that you know you’ll receive.
“In love…with me?” Jeongguk spoke slowly to himself, his heart racing too. He fell in love with you a long time ago. He just never had the confidence to spill his feelings to you. The boys knew and that’s why they teased the both of you so much. They knew just how much you two love one another.
The room is dead silent and you are starting to feel anxious. “Y/N,” He whispers, making you open your eyes to meet his. He doesn’t say anything, he just looks at you.
The next thing you know, he’s propped himself up on his elbow before leaning over to seal your lips with a kiss. When his lips met yours, you were shocked nonetheless. It took you a second to comprehend what was going on. You guess you took too long because Jeongguk pulls away from you before you could respond to the kiss.
Before he can pull all the way back from you, you untangle your fingers from his and pull his head back down to you with your hand, capturing his lips in a kiss. He can’t help but the cup your cheek as you tangle your other hand into his hair. He shifts over as you lie on your back. His body is positioned between your thighs and over you. His left hand next to your head to keep himself propped up.
The kiss is passionate, making your worries of rejection disappear. Your heart swells in your chest as the both of you pull away from each other. The two of you are panting as you both look at each other. Lips are swollen and eyes are glazed over with love.
Jeongguk releases breathless giggles and you can’t help to giggle with him. “I think I’m in love with you too,” After hearing his confession, you can’t help but to pull him into another kiss, the both of you can’t help yourselves from giggling and grinning widely.
‘It definitely wasn’t a bad idea to come here,’
