“Would You Rather…?” Drabble 03 - Reader x Jungkook
Would you rather… 🤔🤔 go to the roller rink (roller skating woo) with Jungkook or … One of those trampoline rooms with Hoseok?
Send me BTS “Would You Rather…?” questions in my ask box for a drabble
I’d be down for both tbh but I thought a 1980s!au might be quite cute
This was one of the various posters that met your eyes upon walking into the building for the roller rink. Alongside this one were posters for the junk food from the diner, a game themed poster for what was probably one of the arcade games here, and one poster for the latest movie in the cinemas which you had actually already seen last week.
You and Jungkook had been seeing each other for almost a couple of months now and were just seeing where things took you from spending time together after taking a liking to each other when you met in the store he works in. It eventually became an unspoken protocol that Thursday night was date night since after every date, you’d both agree to see each other ‘this time next week?’
Neither you nor Jungkook had really ever done this before or at least for a long time; so you had a pair of skates as a toddler that you can recall growing out of within the year, and there was the odd roller skate party you went to as a preteen but you didn’t really express and interest in the activity.
However, the idea of going to the roller rink on a date actually sounded fun, Jungkook’s suggestion last week when he walked you home from the movies. The expectation was that though none of you will exactly be superstars at it, it would be a laugh. Besides, there’s plenty of other things on offer too such as arcade games and pigging out on junk food.
Jungkook is sporting a fairly coordinated outfit, though he insists the matching sweater and skates were merely a coincidence as he steadily brings himself to his feet after putting on the wheels.
“I just bought these from some thrift store because I didn’t wanna come unprepared; I wish I had realised you could rent them out here” he laughs nervously.
A baggy colour block sweater hung over his muscular frame. Three main colours: green, then yellow, then red. Black sleeves, white collar. His roller skates follow a similar theme with the yellow and red stripes layered over the black background all attached to yellow wheels and green toe stops.
You also follow a simple attire for the evening, donning just the primary colours with your blue jeans, yellow crop top, red cardigan and belt to match.
The two of you roll your way to the rink already feeling uplifted by the background music, Michael Jackson’s “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough”, the music video being projected onto a large screen which overlooks the rink.
“I love this song!” smiles Jungkook, taking your hand as you both step onto the main floor. You each then grab onto the hand rail trying your best not to fall straight onto your butts in front of one another.
Picking up some momentum, you go ahead of Jungkook as you gain moderate speed to let go and begin skating with and you let yourself glide free with your date following behind.
Sure, it’s mostly travelling straight forward until you reach a corner and so on but as Jungkook catches up with you and skates by your side, it’s each other’s company that you really bask in. Holding hands, preventing each other from falling, trying your best to both chat and not slip up at the same time, it feels quite liberating to roam in this way.
After a few laps though, you feel yourself being dragged to the ground as Jungkook takes a fall and didn’t let go of your hand. Finding yourself practically on top of him, you both laugh awkwardly at the contact; in these little dates, you haven’t really gone beyond the hand holding, occasional hugs and a goodbye kiss.
“Sorry I-I er…” he stammers.
“It’s time for couples only!” announces a male over the PA system as a the more gentle “Take My Breath Away” plays through the speakers.
You are then quick to climb off Jungkook and bring yourself to your feet.
“I don’t know about you, but…” you nervously begin, unsure of how to say you don’t really want to do this couples only thing.
“Don’t worry” he replies. “Me neither” he chuckles. “Shall we grab a bite to eat?”
“I think a drink is in order first” you giggle. “This thirsty work deserves a smoothie!”
“Your wish is my command” he jokes, taking your hand to lead you to the concession stand.
You both sit on the nearest bench to take off the skates and you wander around in just your socks to see what tickles your fancy.
“Ooh, there’s a pool table!” you note.
“Here’s some pennies” Jungkook smiles. “You get the cues and I’ll get the drinks” he instructs, planting a kiss on your cheek affectionately before walking towards the bar.
The games of pool that followed were super fun; you agreed to go for best of three. Jungkook won the first, you won the second, and then a very tense third game followed but ultimately Jungkook won.
“Oh! No way!” you exclaim as that final black ball is pocketed by him.
“Ha ha! Yes way!” he celebrates. “I am the pool king!”
“Come on, let’s go to the arcades” you suggest, trying to conceal your pout.
“Aww… is somebody a sore loser?” he teases, pulling you in by your waist for a cuddle.
Out of all the boys you’ve dated, Jungkook has to be the jackpot of them so far. He has such beautiful eyes that stare at you endearingly with such affection. You’ve already seen that he has a good body too from the one date he wore a vest to the beach and took it off to go for a dip. Okay so a good personality is usually the desired trait in any guy you get involved with, but come on, one with amazing abs is always a bonus!
“I’m not a sore loser” you protest with a coy smile. “I was just so close to winning”
“Aww!” he chuckles sympathetically. “Well you are on a date with a winner, so how does that feel?”
“Alright, I guess that is pretty good” you admit, smiling at all the things you like about Jungkook.
“Actually, um..” begins Jungkook, pulling away from the hug to properly look at you. He looks serious which makes your heart skip a beat - what does he want to say?
“I was actually thinking the other night, that um… Well you know we’ve been on like six dates now?” he stammers.
“Seven if you count this one” you correct him, a hand on your hip to be sassy with it.
“Okay, seven dates,” he reiterates. “How would you feel about… taking things a step further? You know, like… introduce you to my parents?”
“Your parents?” you repeat, unsure of how to respond.
“It’s totally fine if not” he tells you, careful to not make you feel pressured. “It’s just… well there’s only so long, as I’m sure you know, that I could tell them I was going out at the same time every week just to study with friends…” he explains, hand rubbing on his neck.
“Yeah, of course” you agree. “Are they okay with it?”
“They’re completely fine with it, they said as long as I’m happy then so are they, but… well to be honest, I’ve never managed to hold on this long to a girl I’ve been interested in” he admits.
This surprises you a little. You always had the impression that if he wanted to, Jungkook could have any girl he wants and for any amount of time he wants; you had concluded from that that he hadn’t had much interest in pursuing a girl prior to the dates with you.
“Aw, well I’m flattered” you appreciatively tell him.
“You can tell me if I’m taking things too fast…”
“Okay, sure, sure…” you assure him, anticipating his next sentence.
“My parents are doing a Sunday dinner type deal this week, you know, on Sunday” he nervously explains. “They told me I’m more than welcome to invite you along”
Your grin spreads from ear to ear at hearing this. You really like this guy, and there’s actually a real chance that he’s starting to feel the same way.
You take hold of his hand and bring him in for a kiss.
“Can I take that as a yes?” he beams.
