â hey siri! play right there by ariana grande ! ἍáĄ
for anyone that knew how high school was, it usually came with its cliques. sure, it wasnât high school musical levelâbut it close enough for some.
there were the nerds, the group of football players that walked around the school like a herd of sheep. the cheerleaders, and the âpopularâ groupâ the ones that didnât take school as seriously and used their parents money to buy the next expensive thing they see.
jungkook was considered to be in the nerd categoryâin a comic collecting, head always in a textbook, marvel movie watching, collecting figurines sort of way. not that he complained, he was happy to be in that position, drew less attention to himself.
that wasnât the problem though, it was you. you werenât considered to be in that category, you were in the more popular status of the school. you were always walking around with the other popular girls, girls who thought it was okay to be malicious and judgmental to everyone. and when jungkook first saw you, he assumed you would be just like them.
but it turns out, you werenât, and now he had one of the biggest crushes on you. he remembers the first interaction you two ever had. it was in a history class you both had together, and you were assigned to work with a partner on a group project. and by some fate of the universe, coincidentally you both were chosen to be partners.
jungkook was overly nervous to put it simply, he didnât know how you would be as a partner. he assumed he would be the one doing all the work, and the two of you sit in silence for most of the class period. but actually, it was the opposite. instead you came and sat down in the desk next to him with the sweetest smile adorning your face. the second thing he noticed was everything you owned was pink. Pink school supplies, pink backpack, pink water bottle, even a pink pencil case.
âhi! I hope you donât mind us being partners! Iâll try my best to help, even if history isnât my best subjectâ, you spoke with a smile, tucking some of your silk pressed hair behind your ear.
jungkook was stunned momentarilyâpartly from your kindness and your beauty. the fact that you even said anything to him at all had him stumpedâhe could even feel some of the popular girls staring their way, judgmental and side-eyed.
before after that, you both found out that polar opposite friendships really do exist. you two fit together so well, it quite literally didnât make sense to a lot of people. seeing you both walking down the hallway together, eating at lunch together some day, even doing homework together in the library.
jungkook would even invite you over to his house sometimes after school, watching marvel movies together or you watching fondly as he showed you his comic book collection.
you two couldnât separate even if you wanted to.
a few months into you guys friendship and you still didnât know about jungkooks growing feelings for you. you were everything he wanted and more. you were kind, loving, confident, passionate about the things you cared for. and you never cared what people thought of your friendship. anyone that would dare to say anything you were able to easily shut them down, even as simple as a glare sent their way.
which is why jungkook finally wanted to ask you to prom. the prom season was near and everyone was already asking their significant others with huge grand gestures to the last dance of the year for seniors.
with the help of his close friends jimin and taehyung, he was able to fully prepare for how he would ask you. a poster inspired by your favorite song, right there by ariana grande and a bouquet of specially picked pink lilyâs from a nearby flower shop his mom suggest he go to.
and now here he was, walking down the hallway with the two items in his trembling hands. he gave himself a mental pep talkâpushing up his glasses with his finger as he walked.
âyou can do it, you got thisâ, he murmured to himself, trying to ignore the countless stares he was getting. it was useless attentionâwhich he didnât wantâbut it was worth it.
jungkook eventually got to your locker, smiling fondly seeing the outfit you were wearingâa pink cardigan and jean skirt with mary janes. you back was turned, but he didnât need to see your face, he knew you looked beautiful that day.
before he could even try and gain your attention, one of your friends let out a small gasp seeing what he was holding. âmhm? whatâs wrong?âyou looked at her with confusion, tilting your head before turning around. you face melted into one of surprise, letting out a small gasp of own.
âhey uh, I-I know itâs sudden butâ, jungkook spoke nervously, already feeling his face heating up. âwill you be right there and go to prom with me?â he gave a soft, nervous smile as he showed you the poster. it had light pink bows hot glued to the sides, the handwriting neat and pretty. and lastly, the album cover to Yours Truly glued on it as well.
âOh kooâ, you spoke softly, feeling your throat tighten just seeing how much effort was put into something so simple. you didnât even think he would remember what your favorite song even was.
everyone was looking at the both of you at this point, some with judgmental stares, others simply waiting for what you were gonna say. the fact that he was asking you made them even more appalled.
âIâd love to go to prom with youâ, you answer with the brightest of smiles, throwing yourself into his arms as you wrap your arms around his neck. jungkook yelped with surprised, almost dropping the poster and flowers. he soon smiled, returning her hug, even lifting you off the ground a bit.
âGod I canât believe your going with him of all peopleâ, one of the girls complained, loud enough for you to hear. and you knew that was all you would hear people gossip about for weeksâbut you didnât care, you only hugged jungkook tighter. nothing else matteredâbecause the boy youâve been crushing on just asked you to senior prom.
âthank you for asking me. I canât wait to go with youâ, you say, pressing a kiss to his cheek as your feet meet the ground. âthank you for saying yesâ. jungkook blushes instantly, caught off guard by the sudden gesture.
but he had done it, he asked you, the girl he was falling in love with to promâand he couldnât wait to go with you either.
-the end <3
P.S - lemme know if you guys want a part 2 hehe
