@yongguksgiggle: Hey can you write a fan fiction for my friend, @mirajaneasuna ,about Jungkook taking you out on your first date being a night picnic?
Today was many things. It was a Saturday, it was the fourteenth day of the month, but most importantly, it was the day you were having your first date with the one and only Jeon Jungkook. He had first asked you out several months prior, but you initially turned him down. He was a world famous kpop idol after all, and you were just a student with a part time job at a cafe he liked to visit.
That’s where the two of you had met. His visits to the cafe, sometimes alone, sometimes with his bandmates, soon became one of your favorite parts of the day. He was always so sweet, very funny, and just a little bit flirty - all of that coupled with his handsome face had you crushing on him in practically no time at all. Still, you felt like you had to turn him down when he asked you on a date. Why would he want to date a part time barista when he could have any singer, model, or actress he wanted? You assumed you were just some temporary infatuation of his, but he was determined to prove you wrong. He asked you out a second time, and a third, and a fourth. If anyone else was doing this, you would have complained to your boss and had them banned from coming into the cafe anymore by the third time asking. But this was Jungkook, and you wanted more than anything to forget your anxiety about the situation and say yes. It was this fourth time he asked when you threw caution to the wind and accepted. He was ecstatic. The two of you exchanged numbers and had been talking all week, getting to know each other better before your upcoming date.
Jungkook told you he had a special surprise planned for tonight, and you were very excited, but also very nervous. You sat on your bed staring at the closet, unsure of what to wear. If you didn’t know what the date entailed, how on earth were you supposed to choose something appropriate for it? What if you put on heels when he wanted to go for a walk in the park? Or you were wearing a plain on t-shirt and he planned on taking you to a fancy restaurant? You shook your head, if it was anything where you had to dress a certain way, you had to assume Jungkook would have mentioned that much. You finally settled on what you thought was a safe outfit - regular old blue jeans, a simple but nice black shirt, and your favorite pair of red Converse high tops. You quickly changed and then sat out on your front porch steps, waiting for Jungkook. He came to pick you up at 7:00 pm - exactly when he said he was going to. You climbed into the passenger’s seat of his car and flashed him a shy smile. He responded with that cute little bunny grin of his.
“You look really pretty,” he said, making you turn your head to hide your blushing cheeks and squeak out a quiet ‘thank you’. You were a little embarrassed, but turning your head kept you from seeing that he was blushing just as much as you were. He cleared his throat in an attempt to keep an awkward silence from building and started driving down the road again.
“So…” you started off, “how has your day been going?”
“Honestly? Kind of stressful. I had practice all morning into the afternoon, and then I had to make sure everything was ready for tonight. I wanted to make sure everything was perfect, and I may have gotten a little too into it and, well, yelled at Namjoon for something stupid,” he explained. Even though he hadn’t said much, you could see his posture loosen up a little bit, like some weight had been taken off of his shoulders. You felt really bad for laughing, but you couldn’t help it. Not only was Namjoon his hyung, but he was the leader of the group, and the thought of Jungkook being so nervous and stressed out that he would yell at him just seemed so unlikely to you. He looked really confused and a bit hurt, so you rushed to explain yourself.
“I can’t believe you were nervous about this! You’re Jeon Jungkook, you perform on a stage in front of hundreds of thousands of people on a regular basis, and going on a date is what makes you nervous?” you asked incredulously.
“Well, yeah, when that date is with you it does,” he responded softly. You felt touched, and before you could stop yourself you let out an ‘aww’ that made you blush more than you had before. But doing that made Jungkook smile, so your mild embarrassment was worth it.
“If it makes you feel any better, I was probably just as nervous getting ready for tonight, maybe even more so” you confessed.
“Really?”
“Yeah, I even spent like half an hour just staring at my closet trying to figure out what to wear.”
“Well, if it means anything I really like your outfit, so there’s that.” At that moment, Jungkook pulled over to the side of the road next to the trees and turned off the car. He looked at you before speaking. “Well, we’re here,” he said. He sat there, fidgeting his fingers in his lap, making you giggle. You looked out the window and saw a dirt path winding its way through a park, passing by a few trees and leading down to a perpendicular path that ran alongside a river.
“And where exactly is here?” you asked.
“The site of our picnic!” he answered cheerfully. Then he got out of the car and came around to open your door for you. You thanked him while getting out, and he assured you it was nothing as he took out a cooler and blanket that you hadn’t noticed had been sitting in the back seat of the car. The two of you made your way down to the river’s edge and set up the blanket on the corner of grass where the two paths met. As you settled comfortably on the ground he pulled out two bottles of lemonade and two cling wrapped sandwiches.
“I’m not much of a cook, but I wanted to make something. I remember you eating peanut M&Ms on your break a few times, so I know you’re not allergic to peanuts, so I made us peanut butter sandwiches. And you mentioned the other day that there’s a street cart that sells lemonade that you like to stop at on the way home from work, so I brought lemonade to drink. I know it’s really simple, but I hope you like it,” Jungkook explained shyly, his eyes wide with hope and cheeks tinged pink with mild embarassment.
“It’s perfect,” you commented, earning another bunny smile from your date. The two of you ate your simple yet delicious meal in a comfortable silence with the murmuring of the river and the chirping of bugs as your background noise. The awkwardness from the start of your date had mostly faded, and what little bit remained was a good kind of awkwardness that stemmed from your general personalities and not a lack of knowledge of how to behave around each other. When the both of you were done eating you laid down next to each other and looked up at the sky. The two of you began talking about anything and everything - work, your interests, the current state of your lives.
Through the canopy of the trees you could see a quickly darkening sky as the sun set, lit up in spots by the emerging stars and flashing lightning bugs. You were starting to get a little cold, and despite your best efforts to keep it under control Jungkook noticed your shivering. Without a word he gestured for you to go closer to him, which you did. He put his arm around you and you rested your head on his chest. With your new warmth and the calming sound of his steady heartbeat blending in with the nature sounds around you, it was easy for you to start dozing off. Jungkook didn’t seem to mind, as he let you lay like that for a while before deciding it was getting late and the two of you should probably head back home. After groggily getting off of the ground, you helped him pack the picnic stuff back into the car and got into the passenger’s seat. He drove you back to your house and despite your protests that he didn’t have to, he walked you to your front door.
“I had a really good time tonight, I’m glad you finally agreed to go out with me,” Jungkook admitted, sheepishly scratching at the back of his head waiting for your response. You smiled at him.
“I’m really glad I did, too.”
“Can I ask why you said no the first three times?” he said quietly. Your smile faltered and you couldn’t look him in the eye.
“Well, you’re so talented and famous and amazing and I’m, well, I’m just… me.” He grabbed your hand in his and you looked back at his face to see him looking at yours.
“Are you kidding me? You’re so smart and funny and beautiful and just a little bit crazy and I like you so, so much.” He blushed bright red once he realized what he said, but it didn’t matter because you were a matching shade. Before your moment of courage could fade, you leaned forward and pressed a quick kiss to his cheek.
“Text me, okay? I get to plan our next date,” you said. He just nodded, not fully comprehending what just happened. You opened your front door and gave him a quick wave goodbye, which he returned, before he headed back to his car and you entered your house.
You couldn’t imagine a better first date.
i probably should reread this to make sure it’s as good as it can be but it’s almost 2000 words and i really don’t want to do that. i hope you both like it!
