Intro
The trip had been planned for weeks.
Your family had decided to take a long road trip, and—as usual—Jungkook somehow ended up coming along. He'd practically been part of your family since you were kids, so nobody questioned it. Your parents loved him, your siblings treated him like another brother, and Jungkook was always around.
At twenty-five, he was still the same Jungkook you'd grown up with—just taller, quieter, and much harder to read.
You were twenty-one now, and somewhere along the way, things had changed.
At least for him.
Jungkook had been secretly in love with you since childhood. He'd never said anything, terrified that confessing would ruin the friendship he'd treasured for years.
Now, as everyone climbed into the packed car, you thought you had your usual spot—until you realized there wasn't one.
You stared at the completely full backseat.
“Seriously?” you muttered.
Your mom laughed. “You'll have to squeeze in.”
You looked around before your eyes landed on Jungkook.
He was already watching you.
After a moment, he shifted back and quietly said, “You can sit here.”
You blinked. “Where?”
He patted his lap.
Your mouth fell open.
“You're joking.”
“Nope.”
After everyone insisted there was no other option, you finally climbed into his lap, settling against his chest.
Jungkook immediately went stiff.
You were wearing soft gray sweats and a tank top. He was dressed almost identically, and with your back against him, he could feel every tiny movement you made.
He'd dreamed about being this close to you for years.
He just never imagined it would actually happen.
“Don't let me fall,” you whispered.
His arms gently settled around your waist.
“I won't,” he murmured.
And judging by the quiet smile on his face, Jungkook had absolutely no intention of letting this moment end quickly.
