â hey siri ! play moonlight by ariana grande á„«áĄ.
it was finally the night, the night every senior in high school had been waiting for. It was the night of prom.
every one was getting ready for the special occasion. putting on their dresses and suits, girls doing their makeup together at each others houses, taking pictures before going to the dance, the whole nine yards.
everyone was so excited, everyone but one person. jungkook had been in a nerve racking, anxious tangent all day. he didnât usually go to dances, he thought it was often too much for one night, too much attention. Taehyung and Jimin had to practically drag him out of his house just so he would attend a homecoming dance their junior year.
but this year he wanted it to be different, he wanted to enjoy the last school dance heâll ever attend in his life, especially because he asked youâhis long-term crush to go with him. he wanted to be a good night for you, to enjoy yourself, and he wanted to try and do the same thing.
so, with a small pep talk given to himself in his bathroom mirror, jungkook was able to leave his house and make it to the school without growing into a panic sweat for the fifth time that day.
and there he was, in the huge gymnasium, admiring people and decorations while standing by the fruit punch table. he tugged at the black tie he was wearing, it being mildly uncomfortable but he could manage for a few hours.
he pushed his glasses up with the knuckle of his index finger, looking around with doe eyes to see if you had walked in yet. he couldnât help but admit he was more than excited to see you, you hadnât let him see your prom dress at allâsaying that you wanted it to be a surprise.
after what felt like an eternity, jungkook finally seen youâand he was in instant awe. you walked in wearing your signature colorâa light pink dress, it covered in ruffles that flowed to the bottom. Your hair was curled towards the ends, makeup done perfectly after hours of effort, and now here you were.
once you spotted jungkook from across the room, your face lit up instantly, gathering some of your dress in your hands to walk over to him properly with excited steps.
âhi koo!â you exclaim, bringing him into a hug. Jungkook was still in a bit of awe by your beauty, trying to get his brain to catch up with him but failing.
âh-hiâ, he stuttered. âyouâŠyou look beautifulâ, he admitted shyly, but not able to keep such a compliment to himself. in his mind, you deserved all the praise and more.
âohâ, you smile, bashfully looking down at your dress. âthank you, and you look handsome. here, lemme fix your tieâ, you adjust the tie that sat against his neck, jungkook practically feeling his ears turning red from the attention.
âalright, all goodâ, you grin. ânow, how about some punch? we should grab some while we can before the football team decides to douse it in alcoholâ. Jungkook chuckled at your words, smiling. âSure, Iâd like someâ.
you two walked over, jungkook being the gentlemen he was he poured your drink for you. and just as you were about to talk a sip, the DJ started to play one of your favorite songs.
âoh my godâ. you gasp, almost dropping your drink, and partially startling Jungkook in the process.
âthis is my favorite song. koo come on we have to go dance!â you dragging Jungkook by the hand before he could even utter a response, a small yelp slipping from his mouth.
you bring him out to the dance floor, already busting out every dance move you could conjure up. jungkook couldnât help but laugh, watching you dance freely without a care in the world. It was so endearing, watching you sing your favorite off key but still giving your all.
âcome on koo dance! donât leave me hanginâ nowâ, you encourage, grabbing his hands as you moved them around. âAlright Alrightâ, Jungkook chuckled, his cheeks aching from how hard he was smiling. Sure, you got a few stares, stares you both were used to, but you didnât care. it was just you and him, enjoying what might be the best night of your lives.
the night carried on, you and jungkook talking about any and anything while drinking cup after cup of fruit punch. that and talk about the different suits and dresses you saw, ranking how some looked from a distance. but either way, you both were having fun.
at least until your group of âfriendsâ decided to walk over, interrupting the lovely night you both were having.
â____! hey!â one of the girls, Mina called out your name as they made their way over, each in their own different styled prom dresses.
you turn around, perking up. âoh! hey guys! having fun?â you ask, bright with enthusiasm.
âoh you know we are!â, another girl, Jisoo spoke with the same excitement, before her eyes landed on the boy who stood next to you. Jungkook stood there, a bit awkwardly as he watched you and your girlfriends converse with each other.
âand I still see you brought him with youâ, Jisoo says, subtly looking Jungkook up and down. their judgmental eyes started to make him uncomfortable, looking down as he shifted foot to foot.
âwhat?â your brows narrowed, your smile faltering âYeah, of course he came he asked me to promâ.
âoh we knowâ, Nayeon, who stood next to Mina, chimed in, âwe just donât get why you would wanna go with someone like him. wouldnât you prefer one of the football boys? not some pathetic loser who can barely look a girl in the eyes without pissing himselfâ
Jungkook felt his stomach drop as the girls exploded into laughter. he felt ashamed, embarrassed, humiliated above it all. tears gathered in the corner of his eyes, and before you knew it, he was running out of the gymnasium. âJungkook wait!â you tried to stop him, but it was too lateâhe had already ran out the entrance doors.
and now, now you were seething with anger. you had never felt yourself become so upset, but this was your best friend. the people you thought were your friends hurt the one person you care about the most, and you had had enough of it.
you turn around, still seeing the girls laughingâas if what they said was hilarious rather than malicious. âwhatâs so fucking funny, huh?â you ask, jaw tight, your hands clenching at your sides. âYou think that was funny?â
âoh come on donât be so dramaticâ, Jisoo rolled her eyes, crossing her arms. âyou know itâs true. no other girl in this school wouldâve batted an eye at him if it werenât for you. but you just toke pity on him, right? surely you didâ.
âno the fuck I didnât, you know I didnâtâ, you grit out. âyou know Iâve always liked him, Jisoo, you all have. but you canât find it in yourselves to be just a little fucking supportive?â
Nayeon scoffs. âsupportive of what? that pussy of a boy youâve been running around with for months?â
you send a hard slap across Nayeonâs face, causing her to almost fall if it werenât for the girls supporting her.
you walk right up to her, face to face with intensity in your eyes.
âi donât wanna hear you say another bad thing about him, you hear me?â you seethe. âIâm not like you, Nayeon, I donât wanna get with the nearest fucking boy thatâll barely give me the time of day. Jungkook cares about me and heâs always been there unlike you. so I suggest you pick your words very carefully the next time you wanna talk to me or himâ, you finish, giving the group of girls one last glare. you looked around, seeing you had caught attention from a few students, but you didnât care. you ran out of the gym, frantically searching the halls for Jungkook.
âJungkook!â you call out, growing worried. You searched every hall, every classroom that wasnât locked, but nothing. until you turned down a certain hallway, seeing the boy sitting down against the lockers. his head buried in his knees as he cried.
âoh kooâ, you say softly, walking over and sitting down next to him. Jungkook looked up at you, trying to quickly wipe away his tears but failing as more fell. you noticed this, stopping him as you grabbed his hands, holding them in yours with care.
âI-Iâm sorry I ran I just-â you shook your head. âyou donât need to apologize for anything, hun. you hear me? and what they said back there? none of that shit is trueâ.
âwhat if it is though?â Jungkook asked, looking at you with watery eyes. âweâre so different from each other, _____. your so loud and confident about everything you do, a-and then thereâs just me. Iâm not like that, and I donât know if I ever will beâ.
âBut you donât have to beâ, you reply, shaking your head. âI am who I am and you are who you are. Yeah Iâm loud about everything I love and too passionate about shit or I talk too much, but that doesnât mean you have to be tooâ, you cup Jungkookâs cheek, wiping a small tear away with your thumb.
he sniffles. âreally?â you nod, chuckling. âreally. I love that youâll listen to me rant about the things I love, even if you may not understand them at times. I love the small things you do for me, like standing at my locker every morning and afternoon, walking me to class everyday. Cause even though itâs not loud things, I still notice them. I notice youâ.
Jungkook could feel his heart flutter from your words, and your soft touch against his skin. you hadnât touched him in this way before, so intimately. he leaned into it before he could stop himself, the warmth doing far too much to his poor heart.
âand thatâs whyâŠâ, you could feel yourself tearing up too, that odd feeling gathering in your throat. âI like you, Kooâ.
Jungkookâs breath caught. âw-what? you do?â you nod, smiling through tears. âI do, I have for so long. I just didnât wanna ruin what we had, your the closest friend Iâve had, and I would hate myself if I ever ruined thatâ, you sniffle. Jungkook searched your eyes, seeing nothing but sincerity in them.
âIâŠI like you too, so muchâ, he confesses, feeling a big weight lift from his chest. âI just worried thatâŠthat maybe I wasnât good enough for you. that maybe youâd prefer someone elseâ.
âwhat?â you give him an incredulous look. âbaby no, look at meâ, you gently cup his cheeks so his eyes would meet yours.
âyour it for me, okay? I donât wanna anyone else, I want you. Just you, yeah?â you smile softly, stroking his cheek. Jungkook nods, returning your smile.
you glance back at the gym doors before looking back at him. you didnât wanna go back in there to join in the festivities, and you doubted Jungkook wanted to either. So, you came up with the next best thing.
you pull out your phone, opening Spotify to search up a song. and soon enough, moonlight by ariana grande started to echo through the hall.
Jungkook looked confused hearing it, tilting his head. âWhat are you doing?â
you grin. âjust playing a song, wanna dance with me?â you ask, getting up as you reached for his hand. Jungkook looked up at you, grabbing yours without hesitation.
you guided him out to the middle of the hallway, setting your phone down on the floor as the song played through. âPut your hands here, like thisâ, you guided the boys hands to your waist. He nodded shyly, placing a gentle grip there. âLike that?â You nodded, smiling. âJust like that. And I put my hands hereâ, you placed your hands on his broad shoulders.
arianaâs voice filled the silence, that and the soft hums coming from you. you and Jungkook swayed together, moving at your own pace, your own rhythm.
âYouâre doing greatâ, you praised, looking up at him with the softest eyes. âYou tooâ, Jungkook replied shyly, feeling himself growing red, especially when he felt your hands trail to the back of his neckâyour white French tipped nails running through his nape, giving him goosebumps everywhere.
Tryna sit in the back of his whip
you moved closer, the space between you both thinning by the second. your eye contact never faltered, neither of you looking away. it was just you two, in your own little world, away from the loud chaos that was the gymnasium.
He knows just what it does
When he's holding me tight
âI like a lot, mr.jeonâ, you say in barely a whisper, a teasing smile on your lips.
Jungkook smiles too, teeth showing. âI like you a lot too, mrs.____â. he glances down at your lips, wondering if he should just go for it. he has wanted to for so long, what was stopping him?
but you could read him so easily, noticing the hesitation in his eyes, in his movements.
âgo aheadâ, you encourage, looking deep into his eyes. âkiss me, babyâ.
and so he does, leaning in as your lips molded together so perfectly, almost as if it was meant to be.
And he calls me "Moonlight" too âĄ
