"Did you get a shot of it?" You asked Jungkook as you both stood at the back of the gymnasium.

The students wearing different jerseys as their uniform wander on the shiny floor of the gymnasium. The hall full of noise as the players talk to each other as they announce the champions each event. In the stage, groups of players are wearing their medals earned with hard work and a big smiled on their faces.

"Yeah." Jeon Jungkook said as he set his eyes directly on the stage, arms crossed and wearing a gray oversized shirt.

"The volleyball team did great." You commented.

Jeon Jungkook nodded and you saw a small smile on his lips, "They did."

Out of the two event that you were assigned, the volleyball team were the only one who got in the next season. And you're pretty sure the other team in other events got in too, but sadly the table tennis team didn't.

After they awarded everyone, Jungkook and you both decided to go back to your hotel rooms. You tap the card and the clicked open, you turn the doorknob and was about to go in.

"Y/n." You heard Jungkook and you quickly turn around to see him.

"Hmm?" Your brows raised with curiousity.

"Its our last night here, should we make the most of it?" Jungkook flashed that boyish smile.

You grinned back and nodded, "Yeah, I'll just pack my things." You said.

"I'll see you outside the hotel?"

You nodded, you saw how his smile grew. He turned around and opened the door of his room and got in. You inhaled and stuffed your cheeks with air as the excitement grew inside of you.

You happily pack your clothes back to your duffel bag. You were a white large sweater and a shorts, you put your hair in a tie and made sure to put some tint and blush to your face. You smiled on your reflection before heading down.

Your phone beeped when you stepped out of the elevator.

Jeon Jungkook:

Im in the seashore.

You put it back on your pocket and headed out, the cold wind seeps through your skin even though you're already wearing a sweater. You saw Jeon Jungkook wearing his gray shirt and a black pants with a rip on both knees.

You inhaled before you walk up to him, "They are already celebrating." You said that made him look at you.

"Let them. We're not players anyway." He said then he stare at the sea again.

"Why didn't you join the varsity? Im pretty sure you're good at sports." You said as you kick the sand, both hands on your back.

"I like photography more I guess. And Im pretty sure the athletics team did great even without me." He stated.

You nodded. The waves crashes, the sound so sudden and forceful, you watched the waves produce bubbles as it hit the shore only to go back to the sea again and vanish. Another wave hit again, the sound still sudden, even though it was so redundant and even though you knew it was coming again and again, the force of it never became familiar.

Some things were probably like that. Even when you experienced it many times, you'd still be surprise when you have it again. Like how a sudden rain touch our skin after a long sunny day, like how you'd still get surprised and hurt when you touch something hot even though you've already done it when you were young, or like how it feels to be around this boy even though the time you were with him cant be counted with fingers but you'd still feel the same.

You'd still feel that butterflies and that crazy beating of your heart. Some things are probably like that. Some things will probably never go away and you'll never get used to it.

The wind blows and you look ahead of you, the moon looked more like a yellow crystal stone than a satellite.

"Its a full moon." You muttered.

"Do you know what they say about full moons?" Jungkook asked, eyes now on the satellite and not on the dark sea.

You shook your head, "They say you get to wish every full moon and it will be granted by the great satellite." He said.

His black doe eyes stared at the moon, it shines and sparkle for a minute and you saw how Jeon Jungkook look so fascinated by the moon. Like a kid who wonders about it and looked up to it. His lids slowly flutter close and you saw how his lips twitch as if he's whispering something to the wind, to the dark sea and to the moon.

Jeon Jungkook was wishing.

Then you watched how his eyes flutter open. For a moment, you saw how his eyes looked so lost but so magical 'til it became a little bit more sober. A smile curve on his face.

"What did you wish for?" You asked and you see the sides of eyes form lines.

"Something I don't have. You should try it." He said as he nudge your shoulder with his.

Your eyes go to that perfect yellow circle on the dark sky. A sudden calmness occur to you as you stare at it and then you did what Jungkook said. You wished. You wished to the moon.

You wished for the boy beside you to like you back.

You sighed when you were already done wishing. "What did you wish?" Jeon Jungkook asked.

Your brows furrowed at his question, "If I tell you what I wished for, wont that spoil everything? My wish won't probably be granted." You scrunch your nose.

Jungkook chuckled, "You're right. Just give me a clue about it."

"Its something I can't have." You smiled and you saw he raised his brow.

You laughed even though you thought it was hot, "You're doing it again. You're a copycat, Y/n." He giggled.

A silence grew between the both of you, the crashing waves were the only noise and the blowing wind. Jeon Jungkook exhaled, his eyes staring from afar.

"Do you ever think of risking it all? Like its your only shot in this lifetime and you only get to live once so you have to do it no matter what's the outcome?" Jungkook said, like he's in a deep thought.

"Sometimes, Y/n, you have to learn to gamble." Jungkook looked at you with these meaningful eyes that shines in the dark, "Try confessing to him, he might just like you too." He smiled.

The four days you spent with Jeon Jungkook was wonderful, almost surreal, too memorable, specially the last night and you're sure you'll treasure it forever, in your heart and mind. You won't forget it.

"Tampon did that?" Park Jimin squeaked.

You nodded, a smile slowly creeping on your face as you lean on the wall after you told Jimin what happened on the sports competition. Jimin had his hand on the wall supporting himself as he talk to you. His eyes full of joy, lips stretched into a smile as he talk to you.

His black hair styled as his forehead show, his skin seemed to be shining like a glass as the sunlight seep through the clear window parallel to the both of you who stood on the side of your corridor.

"Aw, who knew Jungkook's such a jealous boy?" Jimin dragged on.

"Do you think he knows that I like him? I tried to give him clues." You pout as you look at you shoes.

"Well, Alice told me that Jungkook's pretty smart so he probably does. And besides, why would he say that if he doesn't know? I think he's just a shy boy and wants you to make a first move." Jimin had his chubby fingers drawing unidentified shapes on the air.

Your brows furrowed, "Wait, who's Alice?"

Jimin's face became blank for a second, "Alice? My fling? Last week?" He said as if he's trying to pull out a memory from you're brain which didn't happen because Jimin never really introduce Alice or any of his fling to you.

"Doesn't ring a bell."

"She's his classmate." Jimin rolled his eyes at you.

"If he wants you to make the first move then he has no balls but Jungkook's pretty cute so I'll let him pass." Jimin shrug and you bit your lower lip.

"Do it, bitch. I can feel that he likes you too." Jimin squeaked.

Your mind flew with that thought. Jimin cant be wrong, with everything that Jungkook did even before the sports competition. He doesn't treat others like that. What if he's just waiting for you to do the first move? What if he feels the same too?

You bit your lip, Jungkook wanted you to gamble. But is it worth it? Will the outcome be worth it? But what if this is your one shot in a lifetime like Jungkook said? What if this is the right time?

"What you thinking about babe?" Wendy asked as you head out of the classroom after your last class for the day.

"How will you know if its the right time?" You asked her.

Wendy smiled, her blond hair tied in bun, her cheeks flushed like always. "Well, there must be a sign. You have to wait for that sign."

There must be a go signal.

You nodded and felt your phone vibrate on your pocket. Jungkook's name popped on the screen.

Jeon Jungkook:

Are you still in school? I have to give you something. Im waiting at second floor of building A's stairs.

"Hey, I still have something to do. You can go home first." You beamed at Wendy before jogging away.

"Where are you going? The sun's about to set. Go home quickly. Chat me when you get home, alright?" You heard her voice even from afar.

You threw her one last glance and you saw her just standing where you left her and slowly, her figure shrinks. You looked up the orange sky and smile because everything feels so right.

You stopped on your tracks when you were in front of building A. You inhaled then run your fingers through your hair. You stepped in and walk up the stairs.

You saw him standing on the landing and his back leaning against the handrail. The strap of his camera around his neck, one of his feet taps on the floor as he view the pictures in his camera.

"Jeon Jungkook." You called him.

Jungkook turned his head to you with an innocent look. He leaned away from the handrail and stood properly. The staircase was silent, you could hear Jungkook breathing and you think he'd hear your heart beating like crazy.

"I thought you already went home. Im sorry I forgot to give you this earlier." Jungkook fished in his pocked and handed you a tiny black rectangle.

A flashdrive. The flashdrive looked so small in his palm.

"The pictures are alredy in there." He said as you pick it up from his palm.

You nodded but still stood there. Jungkook's brows furrowed, he took a step closer to you.

"Are you alright? Why do you look so flushed?" He asked as he put his palm on your forehead and neck.

"You aren't sick, are you?" He asked with a worried look.

He's beautiful. You thought. From your upper right corner, sits a window that flashes the orange sky.

You shook your head, "I have something to tell you." You said, almost like a whisper.

This is crazy. You thought. If its even possible, you're heart beat raised more. Your palms started sweating as you clench your hands into a ball, until your knuckles turned white, your nails digging on your palm.

You foot took a step backward, the coward inside you kicking in. But you closed your eyes and inhaled, then flutter them open again. You saw Jungkook staring at you with those black doe eyes, just waiting. Patiently waiting for you to say anything.

"Jeon Jungkook, I like you." You said, your eyes wide and cheeks on fire. You finally had the guts to tell your long time crush what you feel about him.

You sighed, like a weight is being lifted from your chest. You gave yourself a pat on the shoulder mentally for not stuttering and voice breaking.

You saw a surprised look in his face, then he became flustered.

"So... the guy you were talking about in the beach... even in the theatre room... it was me? The one you like is me?" He asked.

You nodded, "Yes. I like you, Jeon Jungkook."

You sighed again, this is it. You're finally gambling. You're taking your one shot in a lifetime.

Jungkook smiled, giving you a spark of hope and a wash of relief. Or maybe it was a false hope or just him being kind as he says, "I'm sorry but I'm already in a relationship."
