JUNGKOOK pov
Just thinking on saying her name makes my insides churn, I'm too afraid to stutter... My heart is beating too fast, and I barely stand up straight, so I kept my head down and slowly walk closer to her.
"Iu..."
I said her name with all the courage I can muster; I hold out the gift that I spent my two month salary ( it's the gucci shoes that was limited edition) and pushed forward that she accepted without any hesitation.
It's too early for the picnic that NamJoon schedule but here I am, standing in front of the bleachers with Iu, trying to convey the feelings that I am keeping since BTS debut.
"Iu, I love you..." I whispered, and I looked down, the courage that I have had suddenly lost in thin air, my guts twisted and my eyes are almost welling up with tears.
Its been years since I fell in love... with the person I used to look from a far, the cutest among all the cutest and the person who understands me the most. I tried to fight this feelings because I know it's wrong. I know that this person wouldn't like me back. I even might receive a slap or a punch once I confess, but I will risk it all, 'coz I know that taking chances may lead to something than doing nothing at all.
I kept my head hang low, trying to keep my feet steady on the ground, waiting for the best or worst. I know I wouldn't be that hurt if I will be rejected. I have gone to so many harsh words and moody emotion from this person. I can still love this person whatever it takes, even my heart will be crushed for whatever answer I may get.
I didn't wait long when Iu's hand is on my shoulder all of a sudden, and then she tapped it as she chuckled, I looked up biting my lips and I saw her smile, the smile that took all the worries away from my heart, and one more thing that makes me at ease... is when she said "Jungkook, I love you too".

TAEHYUNG pov
I thought the one month break from concerts would be a good idea. I was planning on having a full rest to spend with my family. I also planned on having a bonding shopping with Jimin and Jin-hyung. Just a short vacation just to keep my mind out of work and misery. I've been trying to spare my heart from breaking since I realized that I was in deep shit. Like really need to save my self, but after all the concerts and room sharing that I've spend with JungKook, it hits me straight to the core and now I'm in big trouble.
I'm in love with Jeon JungKook.
Last week before my break ends, Namjoon-hyung invited us to have a picnic with some friends from the industry. So I decided to have jog first before going to the open stadium where we all decided to meet.
The tiredness and sore all over my body beats by a single sight on the bleachers - Lee Ji Eun, JungKook's crush, having JungKook, the person that I am in love with on her tight hug... It's kinda strange seeing JungKook with girls; moreover with his crush. I know that I should be happy, JK has been having a crush with Lee Ji Eun since forever and he is not afraid confessing in front of everyone how much he likes her. However, seeing Ji Eun hugging JungKook made my heart ache like I was hit by hundred arrows.
I looked away, I never felt this defeated.
I know I can't do anything about this because JungKook's feelings for me are nothing but platonic, rather Hyung-Dongseang relationship.
I should be happy that he already have a girl that she can protect. They really look good together. What am I compared to her, right? I'm a guy and guys shouldn't be with guys.
I walked away and think of nothing of what I have seen. Maybe I'll tell NamJoon-hyung that I cannot go after all.

JIEUN pov
I felt excited when JungKook called me out for help, saying he needs my time for some important matter. I would never say no to him, since he's been a good dongsaeng and all.
My heart tightens when he started to say my name... Then he walks closer, holding out a gift and saying "Iu, I love you." I can't explain how happy I am, those words, I've been dreading to hear that for a while now and then suddenly he said it.
"JungKook, I love you too" I chuckled after I tap his shoulder then pulled him into a very tight hug... a hug that I don't want to let go as my tears started to flow out of my eyes, I just hugged him and whispered "That's great, JungKook... you did well." And I tried to dry my tears before I loosened and released him from my embrace.
His smile sparkled with glee and hope flickered into his eyes.
"Iu-noona~ you think TaeHyung-hyung will say 'Yes' to me?" he inquired once again.
"Yes, he will."
I smiled, hoping that I really helped him practice on confessing with his bandmate, he was so nervous he can't even say TaeHyung's name, and hearing my name as a replacement plus the words "I love you" felt so good, even though I know it's not really meant for me.
Well, I guess pretending wouldn't be that bad.
