a/n: yo yo yo, this is my first ff ever, so please be kind! I’m currently taking a creative writing class for fun (yay, learning!), so I thought I might write a cheeky something instead of doing my coursework.

I really hope you enjoy this little story, I’m excited to share it with you! I don’t plan on making it a full series, but I might follow it up with some random pieces if inspiration strikes and it feels right.

Thanks for reading, and I’d love to hear your thoughts! I would to improve if possible 🙏

You double check your makeup in your compact, hoping this anniversary dinner would go smoothly. It was at a new Italian restaurant that had been booked for weeks—something your girlfriend had insisted on, especially for your two-year anniversary. She’d been working back-to-back shifts lately as an independent makeup artist, something she was incredibly passionate about, and you understood that it sometimes meant long hours. But you loved her for it, and it was that drive that had made you fall for her when a mutual friend set you up.

You thanked the cab driver, paid, and stepped out, carefully making sure your new outfit didn’t get caught in the car door. Checking your phone for the reservation details your girlfriend left you, you walked into the restaurant.

“Hello, welcome to Jin’s. Do you have a reservation?” the hostess asked with a smile.

“Yeah, it should be under So-yoon?,” you replied.

“Of course! Your date is already at the table. Follow me.”

Your girlfriend was already here? You’d expected her to be late, but maybe they’d let her go early for the special occasion. A smile tugged at your lips as you followed the hostess through the restaurant, noting how cozy yet elegant the atmosphere was. You could see this becoming one of your favorite spots—assuming the food lived up to the hype.

“This way,” the hostess said as she led you to the table. “The menus are on the table, and there’s some water. I’ll be back in a moment to take your drink order when you’re ready.”

But as you approached the table, you froze. A man was sitting there, not your girlfriend. He looked confused, staring at the empty chair across from him.

“Excuse me?” you said, raising your hand to stop the hostess from walking away. “I’m supposed to be meeting my girlfriend here... for our anniversary.”

The man glanced up at you, his expression equally puzzled.

“I think there’s been some kind of mix-up,” you continued, trying to get the hostess’ attention. But she had already walked off, greeting the next group of diners.

The man smiled awkwardly, seeming to realise what had happened. “I think I’m in the same boat. My girlfriend’s supposed to be here too… for our two-year anniversary.”

Your confusion deepened. Two two anniversaries? How could that even happen? Had you accidentally made a deal with some sort of sorcerer supreme and messed with the multi-verse?

You glanced at the man more closely. He was handsome, with soft, doe-like eyes that seemed kind. And the sunflowers on the table—definitely something your girlfriend would love.

“I’m sorry, this is... weird,” you said with a half-laugh. You introduced yourself with a smile.

The man smiled back warmly, extending a hand. “I’m Jungkook. Nice to meet you. It’s funny, both of us here for an anniversary dinner, but... not with who we expected, huh?”

You shook his hand and let out a soft chuckle, nodding in agreement.“Well, this is... awkward. But it’s nice to meet you too.”

You both stood there for a moment in a shared silence, neither sure how to break the ice. The tension in the air was thick with confusion. Finally, Jungkook spoke again, trying to smooth things over.

“You can sit down if you want. I mean, I don’t mind. While we wait for the Hostess?” He smiled, a little sheepish. “At least we can save ourselves from standing awkwardly.”

You laughed, grateful for his attempt to ease the situation. “I guess that’s one way to look at it.” You pulled out the chair and sat down. “So… our girlfriends are both late, huh?”

Jungkook chuckled, nodding. “Yeah. It’s a bit of a weird coincidence.” He paused for a beat, looking thoughtful. "I’m guessing you and your girlfriend are the same, huh? The kind of couple who goes all out for anniversaries?"

You smiled, feeling a little more at ease as you shared a common connection over the significance of the day. "We try to. Two years... it feels like a milestone, you know?"

“Definitely,” Jungkook agreed, his smile widening. “For me, anyway, it’s all about making sure I do something special. She works so hard, and I just want to show her how much I appreciate everything she does."

You nodded, understanding where he was coming from. You and So-yoon were in a similar position—she worked long hours and was passionate about her work as a makeup artist. Sometimes it felt like your lives were on different schedules, but moments like these made it all worth it.

“I get that,” you said quietly. “My girlfriend’s a makeup artist, actually. Always juggling back-to-back shifts. It’s a lot, but I think that’s part of what makes her so amazing.”

Jungkook’s eyes softened at the mention of your girlfriend’s career, as if he understood exactly what you meant. "Sounds like you two really get each other. That’s rare, especially with how busy life gets."

“Yeah,” you agreed, smiling wistfully. "We’re still figuring things out, but I think we’re doing okay." You looked over at him, feeling like maybe this dinner wasn’t going to be as awkward as you’d first imagined. "So, do you think our girlfriends are in on some secret where they get to be fashionably late to dinners?"

Jungkook laughed, shaking his head. "I hope so, because my girl’s always running behind, but in the end, it’s worth it." His voice softened a little, fondness evident in the way he spoke. "She's a makeup artist too actually? What are the chances..." He trailed off as the door to the restaurant opened with a soft chime, and you both turned instinctively. There was no mistaking the sense of anticipation in the air as a figure walked in.

Your heart skipped a beat. It was her.

Your girlfriend, looking as stunning as ever, wearing her signature bold red lipstick and a radiant smile. Her eyes scanned the room, and then they landed on you. Her face lit up with recognition, and she rushed toward the table.

"Sorry, I’m late!" she said breathlessly, her eyes apologetic but full of warmth. "Work ran over, but... Happy anniversary, love."

You stood up, stunned for a moment, and she leaned in to give you a quick kiss. You felt your heart warm and for a split second, you let yourself believe that everything was fine. Maybe tonight would be the night things fell into place—finally, you'd get the correct table, enjoy a delicious meal, and forget about the chaos of your hectic lives for just a little while.

Jungkook’s eyes widened, confusion flickering across his face. His gaze darted between you and her, trying to piece it together. But it wasn't until the kiss ended, and you smiled at her, that the truth began to settle in.

Your girlfriend smiled at you, clearly oblivious to the awkwardness in the air. It wasn’t until she turned toward Jungkook, her face lighting up with a smile that seemed just a little too bright, that the knot in your chest tightened.

Her eyes flickered between the two of you, and that’s when it hit you—the sudden shift in her expression, the way she froze, just for a moment, as if caught in something she hadn’t planned for.

"Wait..." he whispered, his face paling as realisation swept over him in an instant. "No way. You... you’re the one she’s been talking about?"

“Jungkook?” So-yoon said, her voice faltering, looking between him and you. “Oh my god… what’s going on here?”

Her face drained of colour at the same moment, and he could see it in her eyes before she could even speak—the guilt, the fear, and the horrifying truth that both of them were now fully aware of what had been going on behind their backs.

Jungkook took a step back, his disbelief morphing into a mix of anger and betrayal. "I can’t believe this... You’ve been playing us both this whole time?"

His words hung in the air like a bomb waiting to explode.

Your girlfriend stood there, now looking like a deer caught in the headlights. She opened and closed her mouth, like she was trying to piece together some fragile explanation, but all that came out was a nervous laugh that only amplified the awkwardness."This... this is not what it looks like." she was clearly trying to break the tension but failing miserably. "I mean... it’s exactly what it looks like, but it’s not what I planned!"

Jungkook stared at her, his confusion replaced by a mixture of frustration and surprise. "I—I don’t even know what to say right now. The whole two years?"

Your girlfriend winced, the weight of the moment clearly hitting her. "Yes, i'm so sorry" she said softly, her eyes flickering nervously between you and Jungkook. "I didn’t mean for it to happen like this. I didn’t want to hurt either of you."

You couldn’t believe it. Your hands were shaking, and your chest felt tight as you processed what she was saying. Two years. For two years, she had been with both of you, keeping you and Jungkook completely unaware of the other’s existence.

"I... I don’t know what to say." You finally managed, the words coming out in a breathless rush. “How could you—?”

Jungkook was the first to speak again, his voice a little more even but still laced with shock. "So you... you’ve been seeing both of us? For two years? This whole time?"

She nodded, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. “I didn’t mean for it to go this far, but—”

"You’re both... both lovely people," she said, her voice trembling as she looked between you and Jungkook. “I didn’t know how to tell either of you. I didn’t want to lose either of you."

There was a long pause as the three of you sat in stunned silence. The weight of the situation hung heavy in the air. Your mind was racing, still trying to make sense of what had just been revealed. Jungkook and you, both sitting at the same table, both having been in the same relationship with the same woman.

Finally, Jungkook cleared his throat, his voice a little tight. “Well, this is... well, this is a mess.”

You didn’t know what to say. Your mind was racing, and your stomach churned with disbelief. You looked at Jungkook, and then at your girlfriend, the woman you thought you knew—who had somehow been living two separate lives with both of you.

And in that moment, everything felt too heavy. Too much.

Jungkook broke the silence again, his tone no longer laced with shock, but with something that felt a little more freeing, almost… resigned.

“You know what?” he said, standing up and grabbing his jacket. “I’m done. This—this is insane.” He looked over at you. “What about you? I don’t know about you, but I’m not sticking around for this.”

You blinked, feeling the same surge of frustration and disappointment rise in your chest. The last thing you wanted to do was sit here, trying to salvage some ridiculous, broken version of an anniversary dinner that had just shattered in front of you.

“No,” you said quietly, shaking your head. “I’m not staying either.”

You both looked at your girlfriend ex-girlfriend, but there was no apology, no plea for understanding. Just a sad look, as if she had already resigned herself to the fact that this was happening.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered, but you could tell she wasn’t really talking to either of you anymore. She was just trying to make sense of what had happened, and it felt too late.

Without another word, both you and Jungkook pushed your chairs back, standing up at the same time. You didn’t feel the need to say anything else. What was there to say, really? You couldn’t fix this in a restaurant full of strangers, with awkward glances and sunflowers sitting on the table that no longer held any meaning.

Then, without another word, he turned towards you, offering his arm, the gesture somehow both comforting and distant.

You hesitated for just a second, still processing what had just unfolded—her betrayal, the way everything had shattered in an instant. But when you looked at Jungkook, you saw the same confusion and hurt mirrored in his eyes. Without saying anything, you took his arm, the weight of the unspoken understanding settling between you.

You both walked toward the door in silence, your footsteps echoing in the quiet space. Once outside, the cold night air hit you, but it was oddly refreshing.

“So, uh,” Jungkook said, turning to you with a half-smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “I don’t know about you, but I’m starving. I was really looking forward to this anniversary dinner, but I’m not about to stay here and pretend any of this is okay.”

You couldn’t help but let out a breathy laugh, the absurdity of it all finally sinking in. “Yeah, same. All I wanted was some pasta and a nice glass of wine, but now… I just want to eat something that doesn’t come with this much baggage.”

Jungkook nodded, grinning a little more now. “Exactly. So what do you say we get out of here and grab some fast food? I’m thinking of greasy fries and a burger.”

You looked at him, and despite everything that had just happened, a little spark of humor broke through. “I think I could go for that.’

Without a second thought, you both headed toward the nearest fast food joint. It wasn’t the romantic dinner you’d expected, but there was something comforting in the simplicity of it. It was just two people, sharing a moment of confusion and frustration, but also a moment of camaraderie—a shared understanding that some things just weren’t worth trying to fix.

As you walked into the fast food place, you felt the last remnants of the tension begin to slip away. The greasy smell of fries and burgers filled the air, and it was a relief to realise that, for once, there was no pressure to make anything out of the evening.

Jungkook nudged you, grinning. “So, we both got played by the same girl... But hey, at least we can laugh about it, right?”

You chuckled, shaking your head. “I guess so. At least we’re not the ones stuck eating dinner by ourselves”

"You know, I met her at a coffee shop. I don’t usually get days off, and when I do, I don’t really go out much," Jungkook said, his chuckle light. "Honestly, I would've been better off staying home with my dog."

You couldn’t help but laugh. "Don’t worry, I’ve got a mutual friend to curse at now. Two years wasted." You sighed, feeling the weight of it all. "And honestly, we wouldn’t have even found out if she hadn’t double-booked us."

Jungkook nodded, shaking his head in disbelief. "She really should’ve just used a Google Calendar or something," he joked. "Could’ve saved us all a lot of trouble."

You both burst out laughing, the absurdity of it all hitting you both at the same time.

The whole situation felt like something out of a twisted comedy movie. The kind where everything that could possibly go wrong, does, but in the end, it somehow brings people together in the most unexpected ways.

As you both sat at the fast food table, greasy fries in hand and the remnants of laughter still hanging in the air, you couldn't help but marvel at how absurd everything had turned out. The woman you had thought you were sharing a meaningful anniversary with—who you’d trusted and loved for two years—had turned out to be living a double life, and somehow, that was the least shocking part of the night.

He wiped his eyes from laughing and took a deep breath. "Honestly, though, I think we’re both better off without her. I mean, who even does something like that? Two-timing, on an anniversary no less..."

You nodded, shoveling some fries into your mouth. "Yeah. I keep thinking about how messed up it all is, but it doesn’t change anything now, does it? The worst part was probably her thinking she could get away with it... and somehow pulling it off for two years. That takes some serious nerve."

Jungkook's face turned slightly serious, a rare shift in his usual laid-back demeanor. "I know what you mean. I guess it’s hard not to feel stupid. I trusted her, you know? I thought I knew her. But that’s the thing with people like her, I guess... they’re good at hiding things. I don’t know if that makes me feel better or worse."

You glanced at him, empathy flooding through you. It wasn’t just the betrayal that hurt—it was the sense of disbelief, the questioning of how you could have missed the signs. But you weren’t alone in that feeling, not anymore.

"It makes sense," you said quietly. "I get it. You never expect the people closest to you to be... well, anything other than who they say they are. I think we both got caught in her version of things." You paused, letting the weight of it sink in. "But you know what? It’s not our fault. People like her? They know how to manipulate. And that’s on her, not us."

Jungkook looked at you for a moment, his expression softening. "Thanks. That means a lot, actually." He paused, his eyes flickering as if he was still processing everything. "I think part of me was blaming myself for not noticing... But I guess she did a pretty good job of keeping it all under wraps."

You shrugged, trying to make it sound casual, but inside, a small knot of relief twisted. "We wouldn’t have figured it out if she hadn’t double-booked us, right? I mean, that's a level of incompetence even I can’t wrap my head around." You let out a short laugh, shaking your head. "I thought it was going to be a nice, quiet night—no drama, no surprises. Instead, I get to have dinner with you, so... thanks for that, I guess."

Jungkook laughed too, the tension in his shoulders easing as he leaned back in his chair. "Hey, at least we got a good story out of it. You’ll always remember this anniversary now. ‘The one where we both got cheated on by the same girl.’"

You both burst out laughing again, the kind of deep, genuine laugh that comes only after something bizarre and painful has passed, leaving you a little wiser but somehow lighter.

"So," Jungkook said after a moment, looking more at ease than he had all night, "what do you do for a living, if you don’t mind me asking? I mean, now that we're both just two random strangers who got screwed over by the same girl, might as well talk about something else."

You grinned. "I’m a freelance writer. Mostly work from home, so my schedule’s flexible. Which, I guess, means I’ve got more time to think about how much of my life I’ve wasted on... well, this." You gave a dramatic wave of your hand. "But hey, it pays the bills, and I get to work in my pyjamas. Can’t complain too much."

Jungkook raised an eyebrow. "Writer, huh? That sounds cool. Must be nice to have a job where you can just... work from anywhere."

You nodded. "It’s not as glamorous as people think. Sometimes it’s more about staring at a blank page for hours than actually writing anything worth reading." You smiled a little. "But it’s a good life, you know? Not too many rules. Just deadlines and coffee."

He grinned back. "Sounds pretty sweet, actually. Way better than producing music and dealing with a bunch of drama. But hey, at least I get to work with some cool people, right? I mean, I do a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff, but the long hours? Definitely not worth it on nights like this."

You raised an eyebrow playfully. "Wait, you’re a producer? Do you like work with super famous artists?"

Jungkook smirked, clearly enjoying the surprise in your voice. "Yeah, all the time." He rolled his eyes, "I don’t usually get a lot of days off, though, so I’m kind of stuck in the grind most of the time." He paused, then grinned again. "But tonight? I’m pretty sure I’m done with all the work drama. You and me? We’ve got a much better story now."

You chuckled. "Definitely a story worth telling. And hey, no more weird anniversaries for us, right?"

Jungkook laughed too, his shoulders relaxing for the first time that night. "Yeah. I think from now on, I’ll just stick with my dog instead of dating."

You shook your head. "At least your dog’s loyal."

"Exactly," Jungkook said with a wink. "No double-booking, no hidden agendas. Just treats and belly rubs."

You laughed. "You know what? That sounds perfect. I’ll take a dog over whatever this was any day."

"Agreed," Jungkook said, raising his drink in a mock toast. "To no more double-booked anniversaries. And to dogs."

You clinked your cup against his. "To dogs," you echoed, feeling lighter than you had all night.

The evening hadn’t gone as expected. But as you sat there with Jungkook, sharing a greasy meal, laughing about the most ridiculous night you could’ve imagined, it felt like, for the first time in a while, you might actually be okay.
