i woke up at 7am, relaxed in bed for a bit, ate breakfast with the others, got ready and left the hotel to go to dance practice.


8am


we all arrived on time and greeted each other but jungkook has been quiet and distancing himself from everyone. we stretched and started going through the choreography.


10am


we've been dancing for 2 hours, jungkook and i sometimes looked at each other but haven't talked at all. i wanted to speak to him but i didn't know what to say after our conversation from yesterday but it was pretty awkward between us. we've been so focused on dancing and started discussing the stage outfits and preparation for our performance.

during dance practice, i was isolating myself from everyone because i had so much on my mind and the atmosphere didn't feel right. yoongi-hyung and vanessa would talk time to time but she mostly sticked with emily, leanne and some of the hyungs.


"did she choose yoongi-hyung over me?" i thought to myself


11:30am


we just got back to the dorm. the hyungs were worried about me, i told them what was going on and they comforted me. when they were going to their rooms, yoongi-hyung wanted to talk to me.


"jungkook-ah, let's talk"


"alright"


"i'm sorry that i started liking vanessa when you've been taking her on dates"


"you do know that she really likes you, right?"


"yeah..." i said and nodded


"what time are you meeting her?"


"1pm"


"you better get ready now, i'll drop you off"


"okay"


"vanessa is gonna show up, trust me" he said then walked to his room


"so she didn't choose yoongi?" i asked myself then walked to my room


after i finished getting ready, i left the dorm with yoongi-hyung and we were on our way to lotte world.

11:30am


mr an, emily, leanne and i just got back to the hotel. i had time to chill then get ready to meet up with jungkook at lotte world. i was worried that i wouldn't be able to find him or if he doesn't show up.


i took a shower, got changed, leanne blow dried my hair and emily did my makeup but it was a simple and natural, nothing too dramatic. when i was ready, i told mr an that i'll be back at the hotel before 9pm then he called a taxi for me.

i arrived a few minutes early and i nervously waited for vanessa outside the lotte world entrance.


vanessa's pov ࿐ྂ ;


1pm


i paid the taxi driver and got out of the car. i crossed the road and the bridge to get to the entrance of lotte world. there was a few people around but i found jungkook right away, he was wearing a light grey shirt, black ripped denim jeans and timberland boots. i saw jungkook biting his bottom lip nervously while looking around, i walked towards him and our eyes met.


"you're here" he said surprisedly


"yep. i chose you, even though you were my only option"


"what do you mean?"


"i was going to tell you yesterday that i didn't accept yoongi's feelings for me and that i chose you but you kept cutting me off"


"o-oh, i didn't mean to keep cutting you off, i was overwhelmed..." he stuttered while fidgeting with his fingers


"that's okay"


"it was hard not being able to talk to you, i've missed you" he said and pouted


"let's not do that ever again and i've missed you too"


"thanks for choosing me" he said and hugged me


"thanks for asking me out" i said while hugging him back


"let's have fun!" he said and offered to hold my hand


"let's go!" i said and held his hand and smiled


we lined up, bought our tickets then walked around. i was so excited since i love going to amusement parks and it was my first time at lotte world. i kept taking photos and videos with and of jungkook, he was doing the same. we then started lining up to go on the rollercoaster.


"you know what i just realised?" i asked


"what is it?"


"this is the second or third time that we're wearing the same/similar outfits"


"it's meant to be" jungkook said and held my hand


"it seems like it" i said while intertwining my fingers with his


"i can't stop looking at you"


"why?"


"because you're beautiful"


"you're such a flirt"


"only to you" he said and winked


my heart was fluttering and i could feel my cheeks burning up, i covered half my face with my other hand and jungkook chuckled.


4pm


we went on all the extreme rides, laughing and screaming together. i loved every second being with jungkook because he makes me extremely happy and i love how he's so easy-going, understanding, thoughtful, compatible and fun to be with.


we then got hungry, we bought hot dogs and churros, afterwards we bought cotton candy to share.

when the sun was finally setting, vanessa and i lined up to go to the farris wheel. once we got inside the carriage, we were admiring the beautiful view.


"oppa?"


"yes?"


"do you think it's too quick to be in a relationship?"


"yes since we've only met this week but we have strong feelings for each other and i'm certain that i want to be with you"


"i want to be with you too but-"


"but what?" i asked worriedly


"i don't know how my parents and ARMY would react for us to be dating, we would have to do long distance after i go back to australia..."


"that's okay, we'll get through this together. i know we can" i said and smiled


"will you be mine?" she asked


"only if you'll be mine"


"deal" she said while shaking my hand and we laughed


when vanessa was about to let go of my hand, i gently pulled her close towards me and leaned in to kiss her. we pulled away and i saw her blushing and looking away.


"why are you so cute?" i asked


"i don't know" she said and covered her face


"come here"


she uncovered her face then sat next to me, i had my arms wrapped around her while she leaned on me.


"you know after our second date when we called for hours?" i asked


"what about it?"


"i wanted to call you because i missed you and after you fell asleep during the call, i didn't want to end the call so i just left it and slept"


"aw really?" she asked and looked up at me and i nodded


"you're so precious. i actually started missing you too so i looked through the photos and videos of us from that date "


"i'm happy that we met and now that we're together"


"me too, i'm lucky to have you" she said and kissed me, then i kissed her back.

after we got off the ferris wheel, it was starting to get dark and a bit chilly. we walked into one of the shops and bought matching hoodies then took more photos together. when we walked out of the shop, we heard and saw the fireworks being lit up in the sky. it was so beautiful that i had to capture this moment.


"wow, it's so pretty"


"you're prettier"


"yah~" i said and lightly hit jungkook's arm and blushed


"it's true haha"


"thanks. by the way, did you still want me to call you oppa?"


"you can call me whatever you want but kookie or kookie oppa is fine. how about you?"


"okay~ for me, nessa or nessie is fine"


"aw cute, you're my baby nessie" he said while wrapping his arms around my waist


"and you're my baby kookie" i said while wrapping my arms around his neck


we stared at each other's eyes, leaned in and kissed while the fireworks were still going off.


7pm


we've been going on other rides and walked around for a few hours then jungkook was getting a call.


*after the call*


"is everything okay?" i asked


"yoongi called to tell me that he's on his way to pick me up now because we need to work in the music studio"


"aww"


"i'm sorry but we'll give you a ride to your hotel"


"okay, thanks oppa"


"no problem"


as we waited to get picked up, we went to a photo booth to take photos together. the poses we've done were smiling, showing v/peace signs, kissing each other's cheeks and kissing each other on the lips.


when we were done, we walked out of lotte world, waited a few minutes and got picked up by yoongi. on the ride to the hotel, jungkook and i exchanged photos and videos we took today and chatted while listening to music.


8pm


we arrived at the hotel, i thanked yoongi for the ride and jungkook walked me to the front entrance.


"thank you so much for today" i said while holding both of his hands


"thank you too, it was really fun being with you"


"i'm gonna miss you once you leave"


"i already miss you even though you're right here"


i pouted and we hugged


"i'll try text you later if i can but we'll see each other tomorrow, okay?" jungkook said and cupped my face with his hands


"okay"


we hugged again and kissed then waved at each other and parted ways. as soon as i got to my hotel room, emily and leanne came out of their rooms and asked how the date went. we went inside my hotel room and while i got ready for bed, i told them how it went and showed them the photos and videos we took today.


"that sounds like a really fun date!" leanne said


"i wish we were there too" emily said and pouted


"aw you're so lucky to have each other" leanne said


"we're so happy for you, vanessa" emily said and we had a group hug


"are you going to tell your parents?" emily asked


"hm... probably when we're back in australia"


"good call" leanne said


we ordered room service for dinner and chilled out for a while. when it got late, i got ready for bed but i didn't hear from jungkook.


"they're probably working in the studio until late" i thought to myself


i laid in bed, texted my parents then fell asleep.
