"Come on, you have to tell me who he is." Jeon Jungkook grins.

Wavy ebony hair dances with the wind then lands on his forehead. The peaceful ambiance of the place matched the gentle wind of the beach, bringing comfort to your skin. Unfinished meals infront of the both of you, both spoon and fork down as you two decided to talk more.

"You." You said, "I mean, what about you? Do you have a girlfriend?" You asked as you nip on your bottom lip.

Although, you know that the chance of you confessing might be low and wont come anytime soon, you didn't want to tell him. You didn't want to grab the chance because it was all overwhelming. You just admitted to yourself that you love him and now, you're confessing?

No. Just no. That's a big wrong move. Plus, if ever you confess, you want it to be on a perfect timing. And you still have to observe if its right to confess because admit it or not, rejection sucks.

Jungkook sips on his juice, after putting the glass down on the table again, he shooks his head. "I dont have a girlfriend." He said.

You swallowed. He doesn't have a girlfriend. A slight flicker on the go signal makes your insides turn, in a good way. Like you're excited for something.

"Yah, this is not about me. Dont change the topic." He pouts.

The backrest of your chair feels comfortable when you let your back touch it. Alright, Jeon Jungkook, let's see how this turns out.

"Why dont we play a game? I will drop a clue who he is if you drop a clue about your ideal girl." You smirk, for a moment, you felt a slight confidence as you face Jeon Jungkook.

You're talking to him as if he's not your crush. As if you dont like him. Its like you're a veteran to the game you're trying to play.

"Fine." Jungkook frowns, "I like charming women."

A smirks errupt from his lips, you laughed. "Very specific, Jeon Jungkook. He's handsome." You nodded to yourself.

He's face scrunched when he realized what you're doing. That moment you wanted to pat yourself on your shoulder for doing a great job.

"That's cheating." He muttered.

"Two can play the game." You shrug.

Jungkook raises his hand and asks for the bill. His eyes didn't left yours, as if he was observing you, squinting every now and then. Jeon Jungkook feels challenged, you know.

You were about to pull money from your pocket when he hiss, "Don't. This is my treat, remember? Besides, I don't like girls paying when they eat with me."

He hands back the bill to the waiter with the money and stood up from his seat. "Let's go." He said.

The chair made an annoying screech when you quickly stood up from your seat. You frowned with embarrassment as you stalk Jeon Jungkook out the restaurant.

Large steps took you effort just to close the space between the two of you. You walk by his side and asked, "Where are you going?"

He glanced at you, "You said you wanted to take a little walk on the beach right?" He smiled.

To say that Jeon Jungkook is handsome is an understatement, he was magnificent. You adore his honey skin and his wavy ebony hair. You love the way he smile boyishly and how he acts cutely without noticing, he was beyond beautiful. He resembles the prince from every fairytales you ever watched from your childhood.

Its like he's the guy that would sweep you off of your feet. And he does, he did.

"I like girls that are smaller than me." He muttered as you walk in the sand.

"He's taller than me." You giggled and you heard him groan.

"This isn't working." He said, "I like girls who wear skirts."

"Oh, I see you Jeon Jungkook." You laughed as you tease him.

A soft pink tinted the apples of his cheeks, he awkardly chuckle, "That's not what I meant."

"He likes wearing red." You mumbled as you steal a glance at him.

You saw how he pursed his lips, his brows furrow a bit and eyes in confussion. You advance a bit, leaving him behind but quickly turn around to face him and walk backwards.

"Why do you even want to know who he is?" You tilted your head a little as you ask him, a playful smile on your lips and hair blown by the harsh wind as you got near the water.

A corner of his lips tug up and he quickly put his camera up, stops in his track and took a picture of you. His one eye still closed when he put the camera down, when he opened it, he set it steadily on you.

"Because...I dont want you hurt, Y/n." He said making you stop from walking too.

The distance between you feels like you were miles apart as you stare at him. The wind blowing, the sun out and shining. It feels magical but sad at the same time. Sad because the boy infront of you feels like he's so far when he's just steps away. Sad because the boy standing in front of you doesn't know that all these time you were talking about him.

"Then dont. Dont hurt me." You whispered to yourself as the waves crashes at the shore.

You swallowed that forming lump on your throat as you feel your heart get heavy, "Dont worry, Jeon Jungkook. I wont get hurt." You assured him with a smile.

The next day came, your room mates were already fixing their make up when you got out of the bathroom. You chose to where a navy green short, black tank top with a white button up longsleeves that you left open and the sleeves folded almost to your elbow, and a white converse.

"Aren't you going to put make up, Y/n?" Hannah from your batch asked as she put a brown eyeshadow on her lid.

Hannah came from the other section, though you rarely talk to anybody, Hannah is the exception. The tanned girl with black straight hair and perfect brows turned out to be friendly and she'd always have a small talk with you everytime she sees you in the journalists room.

You shook your head, "Its going to be a waste since the schedules a bit hectic. We'll all be sweaty at the end of the day."

"I heard the hot boys from different schools are in this competition, don't you want them to notice you?" Sharlene, a sophomore said. Her pale complexion suits her yellow top and orange tint.

You shook your head again. Why would you want them to notice you when the only man you want to notice you is Jeon Jungkook. The guy from your school. Plus, you bet he's even hotter than any guy from the schools that participated in this competition.

Hannah turn her head to you, the brush down on the table. "You dont have any boyfriend, do you?" Her eyes squinted.

You shook your head as you laughed. "But I saw you with a senior yesterday. Jeon Jungkook, huh?" Hannah smirks.

A faint blush creeps on your cheeks, "We're friends."

"Everything starts from being friends." She said as she turn to continue her make up.

"I'll go ahead. We'll all have breakfast together, right?" You asked.

Hannah nodded, "They are already in the hotel restaurant. Its on the ground floor. Oh, and its a buffet."

You quickly got out of your room and went straight to the restaurant. You saw a long table filled with the journalist that came here for the competition. Three chairs were the only empty ones that means the three of you, Sharlene and Hannah, are the ones they are only waiting for to join.

You smile shyly as you approach the table, Jungkook smiled at you and pull out the empty chair beside him, telling you to sit beside him.

"Hi." You said as you sit down. You saw a plate full of different food and an orange juice beside it.

You spent the whole afternoon yesterday with Jeon Jungkook, saying random things and enjoying the sun. You only head back to the hotel when the sun bid goodbye.

"Good morning, how's sleep?" He asked as he eat his breakfast.

"Good. Is this for me?" You asked as you pointed the plate.

Jungkook nodded, "Figured you'd be late so I got you food."

Hannah and Sharlene came down after a few minutes. The teams were given designated events, Jungkook decided to be you partner and you're assigned on the volleyball and table tennis.

The venue for the volleyball competition will be held in front of the beach, they had put up a net on the sand just so they can play while the table tennis is a block away and will be held in a gymnasium. The sun was a bit harsh today, making you squint your eyes everytime it hits your face.

Wearing no make up was a right choice because with the heat right now, you'll probably sweat like a pig when the sun hits its peak. A black ballcap was placed on your head and you have to tilt it up just to see who gave it.

You saw that same black doe eyes again. "Wear it." He said.

He started to walk towards the venue and you catched up to him. "You know the girl you like would be lucky to have you." You mumbled.

You nip on your bottom lip, you wished that she's you.

"Yeah? Thanks, Y/n." He chuckled.

The strap of his camera hangs on his neck and his camera on his hand, ready to capture the perfect smash from our team. You were with your phone just taking notes from the game because you need it for your article.

You sat down on a stone while Jungkook just stood there beside you. His large frame shielding you from the harsh sunlight. A coach from your team approaches Jungkook.

"Hey, I need to see Coach Hwang, can you hold this for a minute? The players might need it. I'll be quick, Jungkook." The coach was already meters away before Jungkook could say anything.

Jungkook stared at the towels the coach gave to him for a second before he took pictures again. The girls played first, you noticed that most of the players were seniors because they smile at Jungkook everytime they see him clapping.

The other team called for time out, the players from your school came to your side and drank their water.

"Where's coach? He has my towel." A girl asked, Lee was printed on the back of her jersey.

Jungkook walked towards her, "Here." He said as he hand it to her.

He quickly walked back to you, "Should we go now? I think the table tennis event will start soon."

You nodded and headed to the gymnasium. A lot of people were watching the game, most of them were the schoolmates of the players. You walked towards your team with Jungkook on your side.

"Should we watch it there on the bleachers? Or should I sit alone?" You asked as you point an empty seat.

He didn't answered you, instead he was just staring at something so intensely. You figured you should go and sit on the bleachers alone since he needs to take shots.

You turned around, ready to head for the chair before anybody else sit on it but you felt a hand grip yours. You stopped and looked at your hand then to Jeon Jungkook who was gripping it.

"Don't go." He said as he look at you in the eyes.

You froze on you spot, just staring at him with complete shock and a raising heart. "Stay with me." He sounded frustrated.

You tilted your head, "What's wrong?" You asked as you took a step closer to him.

"Just... Dont leave my side, okay?" He said, not letting go of your hand.
