Fourteen injured in South Korea as man rams car onto footpath and stabs shoppers

By Associated Press 1:31am Aug 4, 2023

A man has rammed a car onto a footpath in South Korea, then stepped out of the vehicle and began stabbing people at a shopping mall, leaving at least 14 people injured in the country's second mass stabbing in a month.

At least five people were hurt by the car, and nine others were stabbed in the attacks that occurred in a crowded leisure district near a subway station in the city of Seongnam, according to Yoon Sung-hyun, an official from the souther Gyeonggi provincial police department.

Authorities arrested a suspect in his 20s at the scene and were questioning him. Police did not identify the man or offer any immediate information about a potential motive.

The head of the National Police Agency described the attack "virtually an act of terrorism".

An official at Gyeonggi's provincial fire department, Ha Dong-geun, said at least two of the wounded were hospitalised in a serious condition.

Photos from the scene showed forensic units examining the halls of the AK Plaza, where the stabbings took places. A white Kia hatchback with a broken front window and ruptured front tire could be seen on a sidewalk near the subway station.

South Korea's Kyunghyang Shinmun newspaper published a video on its website that it said was sent by a witness. The footage showed a man wearing sunglasses and a black hoodies walking up the mall's escalator with an object in his hand.

A witness named Hwang Hee-woon told YTN television that he "heard a sound from the first floor that seemed like a scream, so customers and shop workers were gathering on the rails of the second-floor near the escalator to see what was happening below.

"Suddenly, someone told us the person who committed the crime was coming up to the second floor, so we ran away in panic," he said.

He ended up hiding inside a refrigerated storage room with some mall employees.

Last month, a knife-wielding man stabbed at least four pedestrians on a street in the capital, Seoul, killing one person.

The National Police Agency held an online meeting on Thursday with regional police chiefs to discuss ways to deal with stabbings and other attacks against random targets.

During the meeting, National Police Agency Commissioner Gen. Yoon Hee-keun made the comment about terrorism. Officials discussed increasing nighttime patrols in leisure districts and other crowded areas and strengthening security camera surveillance, according to the agency.

Dynamite - in small and large packages

I was looking back through holiday photos today and came across pictures of the suits BTS wore for the 2021 Grammys performance of Dynamite. They were on display in Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Seoul when i was there last year.

First i have to say, these suits are exquisite. The fabric is beautiful and they are exceptionally well made. Our boys certainly do not go about looking like paupers.

But the main reason for this post?

Their sizes reflected by these outfits

I know, i know, its old news. We see it in so many photos and videos... but the suits, side by side, really brought it home for me.

And for the record Namjoon is a towering oak of a man. His suit is a LARGE. I was legit intimidated just imagining him in it haha. He is truly a lighthouse - physically and intellectually.

But back to Jiminie and Jungkook.

The difference in size is notable.

We know Jungkook is a muscle pig, but I'm not kidding, that suit looks like he's packing half a cow under his jacket and the other half down his pants (not like that, you filthy minded people).

Jimin is as slender as a reed. If he was a musical instrument, he would be a flute. His waist must be so so tiny. I am sure Jungkook could encircle Jimin's body with his two hands.

Not that i imagine this or anything like it. Ever at all. Nope.

But i digress...

The suits, when seen next to each other, really show what a big boy JK is and how tiny his 'small and precious Jimin-hyung' is.

And I know Jiminie isnt short-short and JK isn't a giant by any standards, but there's a marked difference in height when looking at these suits.

Also, both of them have ridiculously long legs. How is this fair? Did they sneak into the gazelle queue when legs were being assigned?

I was definitely in the caterpillar queue. And I was right at the back 🤣

The world around you feels surreal, like you’ve stepped into a dream you don’t want to wake from. As you clutch your phone in trembling hands, Jungkook’s name glows on the screen, accompanied by the text you’ve read at least three times now. 𝘉𝘶𝘻𝘻𝘻𝘻, another text.

“𝙄 𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙚 𝙄’𝙢 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙄’𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣.” A soft smile plays on your lips, your heart racing as you type back a response.

Your fingers hover over the keys, a sudden rush of nervousness making you second-guess every word. But then you remember the way he looked at you earlier—like you were the only person in the room—and your confidence builds.

“𝙃𝙞 𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙠𝙤𝙤𝙠, 𝙄’𝙙 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤𝙤.”, you finally reply with your pulse quickening as you hit send.

Seconds later, your phone buzzes with his reply: “𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩. 𝙄 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚. 𝙎𝙚𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙣 𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙧?” You respond quickly to Jungkook. “𝙄’𝙢 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙! 𝙔𝙚𝙨, 𝙙𝙧𝙤𝙥 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙙𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄’𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚. 𝙎𝙚𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙤𝙤𝙣.”

Your phone buzzes again, pulling you out of your thoughts. It’s Jungkook. “𝙇𝙚𝙩’𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙖𝙩 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙮 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙠. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙖 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙩, 𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙡𝙡 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙩. 𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚’𝙨 ��𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙙𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨.” Seconds later, the location pings on your phone. You quickly map it, noting it’s only 12 minutes away. Relief washes over you—plenty of time to freshen up and make sure you’re at your best.

You glance around, noticing a makeup store in the plaza just a few steps away. Drawn by the bright lights and displays of colorful packaging, you wander inside. The shelves are lined with K-beauty products, their pastel tones and charming designs tempting you to grab one of everything. Lip tints, cushion foundations, serums promising glass-like skin—it’s a paradise for any beauty lover. Time seems to slip away as you explore, your nerves easing with every swatch and test.

Finally, you check the time: 6:45. You make your way to the restroom, pulling out your essentials. A quick touch-up on your makeup, a few adjustments to your hair, a spritz of perfume—it’s all part of the ritual. As you look at yourself in the mirror, the realization hits again. You’re about to meet Jungkook. The thought sends a flutter through your chest, but you shake it off, determined to stay cool.

At 7:00 sharp, you step outside and call for a Kakao ride, the night air brushing against your skin. You’re ready.

As the Kakao glides through the streets of Seoul, your heart feels like it’s racing to catch up with the moment. The city lights blur past the window, their soft glow reflecting the whirlwind of emotions swirling inside you. You clutch your phone tightly, replaying Jungkook’s last text in your mind. “𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙡𝙡 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙩.” There’s a warmth in his words that makes your cheeks flush, and you can’t help but wonder if he’s just as nervous as you are.

Questions swirl in your head, each one louder than the last. 𝘋𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰𝘰? 𝘖𝘳 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵? But then you think of the way he looked at you earlier, how his gaze lingered, and your heart flutters again. You try to calm yourself, taking deep breaths and glancing at the passing scenery to ground yourself.

Finally, the car slows to a stop. You glance at the park Jungkook suggested, its entrance softly lit by fairy lights strung along the path. The sight is enchanting, like something out of a romance drama. You thank the driver, stepping out into the crisp evening air.

For a moment, you stand still, clutching your phone as you try to collect yourself. Your pulse quickens as you type a short text: “𝙄’𝙢 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚.”

A reply comes almost instantly. “𝙄 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪.”

He’s standing just a few steps away, bathed in the soft glow of the park’s fairy lights. He looks effortlessly striking—his dark hair styled perfectly, a loose black sweater hugging his frame, paired with casual yet stylish jeans. Accessorized with silver jewelry, a belt, & black chunky shoes. The look is understated but undeniably captivating, the kind of effortless charm that only he seems to possess. His eyes meet yours, and there’s a flicker of warmth in them, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

Your emotions are a whirlwind—excitement, disbelief, nervousness, all colliding at once. You can feel your pulse quicken as you try to steady your breathing, wondering if he can sense just how flustered you are. Yet, there’s a comforting energy about him, something that makes you feel as though this moment is meant to be.

As you take a step forward, you notice two men standing at a distance, their watchful eyes making it clear they’re security. It’s a subtle reminder of who he is, but in this moment, all you can focus on is him. Jungkook begins to approach, his movements relaxed yet purposeful, and for a second, it feels like the world narrows to just the two of you.

Jungkook stops just inches away, his presence so close you can feel the warmth radiating between you. His eyes meet yours, soft yet intense, and he offers a gentle smile before speaking. “𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠… 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜,” he says, his voice carrying a sincerity that makes your heart skip a beat.

“𝙄 𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨…” His words trail off, but the way his gaze lingers on you says everything.

Caught in the moment, you can’t help but smile, your cheeks flushing as you muster a response. “𝙔𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠,” you say, your voice steady but light with admiration.“𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙠𝙤𝙤𝙠. 𝙄 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣, 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨.” The playful edge in your tone makes him chuckle softly, and for a moment, it feels like the world around you fades away.

You glance around, taking in the park illuminated by warm, golden fairy lights strung between the trees. “𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡,” you say, turning back to him.

“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙩𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙥𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚… 𝙞𝙩 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙪𝙣𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡.” He nods, his eyes flicking between the park and you. “𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙙 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙩. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙛𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙤𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙚.”

As you begin to walk, the conversation flows naturally, like a stream winding its way through untouched land. You share laughs over lighthearted topics—favorite foods, hobbies—and delve into deeper questions. He surprises you with his thoughtfulness and humor, making you feel like you’ve known him for far longer than a few hours.

“𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙙𝙢𝙞𝙩,” Jungkook says as you pass a small fountain surrounded by blooming flowers. “𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙄 𝙨𝙖𝙬 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩… 𝙄 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣’𝙩 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙚𝙮𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪. 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪. 𝙄 𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪.” His confession makes your heart flutter, the sincerity in his voice grounding the surrealness of it all. “𝙄 𝙛𝙚𝙡𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙢𝙚,” you reply, your voice barely above a whisper.

Every step you take together draws attention, heads turning as people recognize him. There’s a quiet buzz of murmurs and discreet glances, but Jungkook seems unbothered, focused entirely on you. His calm confidence puts you at ease, making you forget the world around you.

Soon, the soft strum of live music drifts through the air, guiding you both toward a cozy secluded spot by the lake. The water shimmers under the moonlight, reflecting the fairy lights and creating a dreamy backdrop. You find a bench nestled under a willow tree, its branches swaying gently in the breeze.

As you sit, your bodies naturally angle toward each other, knees almost brushing. His posture is relaxed, one arm resting on the back of the bench, while yours mirrors his, your hands occasionally brushing when you gesture. The chemistry between you is undeniable, your connection deepening with every question and answer.

“𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪?” you ask, leaning slightly closer. He grins, the corners of his eyes crinkling. “𝙄 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙚𝙜𝙤𝙨. 𝘼𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝙄’𝙙 𝙬𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝 𝘽𝙤𝙗 𝙍𝙤𝙨𝙨 𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙤𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙏𝙪𝙗𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚. 𝙉𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨, 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙛𝙛.” You respond to his admission.

“𝙎𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙛𝙛? 𝙉𝙤, 𝙣𝙤, 𝙣𝙤. 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙧𝙩!” Hearing your support and enthusiasm seems to light up his face.

The music swells in the background, and for a moment, neither of you speak. Instead, you both look out at the lake, the serene beauty of the scene mirroring the quiet comfort settling between you. It feels like the start of something extraordinary, and for the first time in a long while, you feel like you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

You glance over at Jungkook, only to find that he’s already looking at you. His gaze is steady yet soft, as though he’s memorizing every detail of your face. It takes your breath away, leaving you momentarily speechless. The way he leans slightly toward you, his arm resting casually along the back of the bench, makes him seem both relaxed and attentive. The faint glow of the fairy lights reflects in his dark eyes, giving them an almost hypnotic depth. He looks effortlessly handsome—his hair slightly tousled, the collar of his sweater framing his sharp jawline. For a moment, you wonder if this is all a dream, because how could this be real?

Neither of you speak, but the silence is far from uncomfortable. It’s as though the world around you has faded, leaving just the two of you and the serene beauty of the park. The gentle strum of live music lingers in the background, mingling with the soft rustle of the trees. You feel an overwhelming sense of calm and connection, a moment you wish you could freeze in time.

Eventually, the music begins to fade, signaling that it’s time to leave. Jungkook shifts first, standing gracefully and extending a hand to help you up. His touch is warm and steady, and as you rise, his hand moves to your lower back—a light but intentional gesture that sends a wave of warmth through you. It’s protective, intimate, and enough to make your heart flutter.

You walk side by side toward the park’s entrance, the evening air crisp and cool against your skin. As you near the exit, Jungkook turns to face you, his expression unreadable but his tone filled with quiet excitement. “𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪,” he says, his voice low but eager. “𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙖 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙚, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙡𝙡 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙞𝙩.”

Curiosity sparks in your chest, and you nod without hesitation. “𝙊𝙠𝙖𝙮,” you reply, your voice softer than you expected. He smiles, the kind of smile that could disarm anyone, and continues,

“𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚, 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙚.”

The suggestion catches you off guard, and your heart skips a beat. You weren’t expecting this level of closeness, and the thought of sitting next to him in his car feels both thrilling and nerve-wracking. “𝙊-𝙤𝙠𝙖𝙮,” you stammer, trying to suppress the butterflies in your stomach. The idea of being in such an intimate space with him makes the reality of this moment even more surreal.

As security steps forward to guide you both, your attention shifts to the sleek black car parked a short distance away. The sight of it stops you in your tracks—a Mercedes Benz GT63S, gleaming under the streetlights like something out of a luxury magazine. “𝙄𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩… 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨?” you ask, your voice filled with shock and interest. Jungkook chuckles softly, rubbing the back of his neck. “𝙔𝙚𝙖𝙝,” he says modestly, as though it’s no big deal.

You can’t hide your shock, your eyes darting between him and the car. It’s the kind of vehicle that turns heads, much like its owner. As the driver’s door opens, revealing the immaculate interior, you feel a mixture of awe and disbelief. This night keeps getting more unreal, and yet, here you are, living it.

Jungkook walks ahead, his stride confident yet unhurried, and reaches the passenger door before you. With an effortless motion, he opens it for you, stepping slightly to the side. “𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙜𝙤,” he says, his voice low and smooth. The simple gesture, so charming and manly, sends your heart into overdrive. It’s the kind of act you’ve only seen in movies, and yet, here he is, doing it with such natural grace.

As you settle into the plush leather seat, a wave of emotions washes over you—excitement, nervousness, disbelief. You run your fingers over the stitching of the seat, trying to ground yourself in this moment. The car smells faintly of cologne and leather, a combination that feels distinctly Jungkook. Your pulse quickens when you hear the driver’s door open and see him sinking into his seat. He adjusts the steering wheel with one hand, the other resting casually on the gearshift, his movements fluid and effortless.

As the car pulls away from the park, you glance over at him. The streetlights cast fleeting shadows across his face, accentuating the sharp line of his jaw and the way his dark hair falls just slightly into his eyes. He looks impossibly good, the glow of the dashboard highlighting his profile in a way that makes your heart flutter. There’s something mesmerizing about the way his hands grip the wheel—strong, steady, and entirely in control. “𝘚𝘰..𝘴𝘦𝘹𝘺.” You think to yourself.

You find yourself torn between admiring him and the cityscape passing by. Seoul at night is a spectacle in itself, the streets alive with energy and light. Neon signs glow brightly against the dark sky, and the faint hum of city life filters in through the closed windows. The contrast between the lively city and the intimate quiet of the car feels surreal, as though you’re in your own little bubble with Jungkook.

“𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙬?” Jungkook asks, breaking the silence. His voice pulls you back to the present, and you can’t help but smile. “𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙞𝙣,” you reply honestly, glancing out the window before turning back to him. “𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙧, 𝙮𝙤𝙪. 𝙄𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙨… 𝙪𝙣𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡.”

He glances at you briefly, his lips curling into a soft smile.“𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡,” he says simply, his tone carrying a sincerity that makes your chest tighten.

Before you know it, the car slows as you approach a cozy corner of the city. The warm glow of an ice cream café comes into view, its whimsical decor and softly lit exterior inviting. Jungkook pulls into a nearby parking spot, and as he turns off the engine, he glances at you, his expression playful. “𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙚?” he asks, his voice laced with excitement.

You turn to face Jungkook, taking a moment to fully appreciate his stunning features. His jawline is sharp, his lips soft and inviting, and the way his eyes seem to sparkle under the streetlights makes your heart skip a beat. “𝙔𝙚𝙨, 𝙄’𝙢 𝙨𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮!” you say with a playful grin, your excitement evident. He smiles in return, his expression warm and genuine. Without a word, he exits the car, walking around to the passenger side to open your door. The chivalry, so effortless and natural, makes you feel like the most special person in the world.

As you step into the café, you’re greeted by the sweet aroma of waffle cones and the hum of quiet conversation. The interior is cozy, with pastel-colored decor and whimsical string lights hanging from the ceiling. Glass cases display rows of ice cream flavors in every color imaginable, and your eyes light up when you spot your all-time favorite flavor.“𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙩!” you exclaim, turning to Jungkook with a gleeful smile. He chuckles softly, clearly enjoying your excitement, and places the order for both of you.

Outside, the evening air is crisp but pleasant, and the café’s outdoor seating area is charmingly lit with lanterns. You find a spot under a small tree, its branches adorned with twinkling fairy lights. The vibe is peaceful yet intimate, the kind of setting that makes you forget the rest of the world exists. As you savor your ice cream, Jungkook watches you with a playful glint in his eyes.“𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙧 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙜𝙚𝙩?” he asks, leaning closer. You tell him, and before he can ask, you scoop a small bite onto your spoon and offer it to him.

He hesitates for a split second, then leans in, his lips brushing the spoon as he tastes your ice cream. You watch as he savors the flavor. The attention being on his lips, causing curiosity to flood your mind about how soft his lips would feel pressed against yours… “𝙈𝙢𝙢,” he hums, his expression softening.“𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙.” The way his eyes meet yours after he pulls back makes your cheeks warm and flustered. You can’t help but giggle at how endearing and cute he looks. “𝙔𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩,” 𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙙𝙙𝙨, “𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙣𝙚𝙬 ��𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚.”

As the last bites of your ice cream disappear, you find yourself lingering over the moment, not wanting it to end. Jungkook leans in his chair, his elbows resting on the table as he studies you with a soft, thoughtful gaze. The feeling of his eyes settling on you is all a very familiar feeling. You meet his eyes. “𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙚,” he says, his voice sincere. “𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢—I 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙮, 𝙩𝙤𝙤.” His words make your heart skip, and you nod, smiling as you respond, “𝙈𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙤.” “𝙄 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙮.”

Jungkook glances at his watch, then back at you, reluctant but practical. “𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙬𝙚 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜?” he asks, standing up and holding out a hand to help you from your seat. The warmth of his hand in yours is quick and brief but electric.

You both walk back to the car, the night air cool against your skin. Security hovers at a respectful distance, ensuring your privacy. Jungkook opens the passenger door for you again, a small smile tugging at his lips. “𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙜𝙤 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡.” He says.

You turn and face him as you slide into the seat,

“𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙤 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚.” Jungkook smiles charmingly at your response. With one last glance at the glowing cafe, the car ride begins.

The car ride back to the hotel is quieter but no less meaningful. The hum of the engine and the soft tunes playing on the radio fill the space, but your thoughts are consumed by everything that’s happened tonight. Every so often, you glance at Jungkook, watching the way his hands move on the wheel, his profile illuminated by the soft glow of the dashboard. He catches your gaze once, flashing a confident smile that sends a flutter through your chest.

When you arrive at the hotel, the atmosphere shifts slightly. There’s a sense of finality as you walk through the quiet lobby and into the elevator, but it’s not unwelcome—it feels more like a transition to something deeper. At your door, you lean back against it, feeling the cool wood press against your back. Jungkook steps closer, his arm resting above your head, effectively caging you in. His proximity is electrifying, and his voice is low when he says,,“𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙄’𝙫𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚.”

Your heart swells at his words, and you smile up at him.

“𝙈𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙤,” you admit, your voice soft. The warmth in his eyes shifts to something more contemplative, and for a moment, he seems to hesitate. Then, he takes a deep breath. “𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙙𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙆𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙖?” he asks, his tone tinged with something that sounds almost like regret.

“𝙏𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬,” you reply, the word feeling heavy as it leaves your lips. A flicker of disappointment crosses his face, and the silence that follows is filled with unspoken emotions. You both know the night is ending, and yet neither of you seems ready to let it go.

Finally, Jungkook speaks, his voice gentle but determined. “𝘾𝙖𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮?” He pauses, as if searching for the right words. “𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙤 𝙖 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡, 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙚.”

Your breath catches, and for a moment, you can’t speak. The sincerity in his eyes, the vulnerability in his voice—it’s all so overwhelming. “𝐘𝐞𝐬,” you finally say, your voice barely above a whisper. His face lights up with relief, and he quickly adds, “𝙄’𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜—𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙡, 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙩. 𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙖𝙮 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮.”

You nod, a soft smile spreading across your face. “𝙄’𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮,” you say, and the weight of the moment settles between you both, heavy with promise and anticipation.

As you confirm your decision to stay, Jungkook’s eyes widen, his lips curling into a slow, satisfied smile. It’s the kind of smile that makes your heart race, and for a brief moment, you wonder if he’s just as shaken by the chemistry between you both just like you are. Your gazes lock, the weight of the unspoken words hanging between you both. There’s a longing there, something deeper than words could ever express. You take in his face, memorizing every detail, not wanting to let go of this moment. His cologne, rich and intoxicating, wraps around you like a blanket, pulling you in closer with each breath.

Jungkook bites his lower lip, a mischievous glint in his eyes. Then, his fingers trace the cool metal of his lip ring, an action that sends wild thoughts swirling in your mind. You know you should go inside, but instead, you find yourself lingering. As if sensing your hesitation, Jungkook leans in slightly, his arms moving to gently wrap around you.

The hug is firm and impossibly comforting, as if you both done this a thousand times before. You feel the strength in his embrace, the subtle rise and fall of his chest, and the faint scent of his cologne lingering in the air. His hand rests lightly on your lower back, and for a moment, the world feels smaller, quieter—just you both.

“𝙂𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙮/𝙣,” he murmurs softly against your ear, his voice low and full of warmth. You pull back slightly, just enough to meet his eyes, and give him a shy smile. .“𝙂𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩, 𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙠𝙤𝙤𝙠,” you whisper; your voice barely above a breath.

Finally, you slip into your hotel room, the door closing softly behind you. You lean against it, your breath catching in your throat as you replay everything that just happened. The events of the day, the warmth of his smile, the connection you shared—𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯? You collapse onto the bed, unable to wipe the smile off your face.

As you unwind and prepare for bed, a wave of emotions washes over you. It’s a mixture of excitement, disbelief, and a touch of sadness that tomorrow will come all too soon. Your phone buzzes, pulling you from your thoughts. It’s a message from Jungkook. “𝙈𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙡𝙮. 𝙄’𝙢 𝙨𝙤 𝙜𝙡𝙖𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮. 𝘾𝙖𝙣’𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙞𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬😌”

Reading his message sends a flutter through your chest. His words are like a warm embrace, comforting and thrilling all at once. You can imagine the smile on his face as he typed it, the sincerity in his tone. A wave of excitement floods over you as you respond with a teasing message of your own, the butterflies in your stomach impossible to ignore.

You exchange flirty, playful messages, the kind that makes your heart race with anticipation. The conversation slowly winds down, and you both wish each other goodnight. As you drift off to sleep, you can’t help but think about what tomorrow will bring, the excitement bubbling inside of you.

Tomorrow, Jungkook’s date might just be the beginning of a whole new adventure… a whole new life—and you can’t wait to see where it takes you both.

And as you close your eyes, a single thought crosses your mind: “𝙄𝙛 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙪𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚, 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙙.”

Chapter 5

Renjun was still expecting an answer. His jaw clenched as he saw you reach for your chopsticks and grab a piece of food without another word.

You didn’t want the rest of the hangout to be awkward just because you lacked an explanation.

But you needed a couple more seconds to come up with a response, plus you were quite hungry.

“I was just curious is all.”

“Yeah, suuure.” Renjun’s drawn out annoyance had a hint of lightheartedness, much to your relief.

“He hasn’t seemed to scare you off yet. You must really like it there.”

“Hmm?” Your mouth was too full to make a comment of inquiry.

Renjun shook his head with a smile as the two of you continued your meal in comfortable silence.

~

The optical illusions museum was a nice change of pace for an off day. Not too much out of your comfort zone, but enough to keep your brain stimulated.

The two of you were currently in a liminal space of sorts, an Ames room with furniture to boot. Renjun looked awfully tiny on the couch in the upper corner whilst you looked gigantic next to a standing lamp in the opposite corner. Passerbys stopped every once in a while to view the two of you move around the small area.

“I wish they had a camera to take a shot of this and print it out for us.” Renjun said as he stomped along the floor to touch the other props placed in the room.

“Just ask someone to take a picture for us. I’m sure they will.”

“Good idea!”

You leaned against the yellow painted wall as you watched him skip out to ask a stranger who happily agreed. In those few seconds you had the idea to check your phone, not really understanding why you were expecting something from him.

The two of you had never exchanged messages before; the only reason you had each other's numbers was that Mark insisted on it in case of call-ins.

“You ready?” Renjun hopped back over to his favorite spot, the couch. You got back in the corner and aided in an awkward pose as the elderly lady snapped a few pictures with a smile.

Once she was done, the both of you bowed in thanks as Renjun retrieved his phone.

You hovered over his shoulders to view the pictures, both giggling at the results.

“I’ll send you these later okay?”

“Sounds go-”

You were interrupted by a call that popped up on Renjun’s screen…

Caller id: Jeno

Embarrassingly enough, your heart dropped.

Renjun accepted it but remained close enough for you to hear the other end of the line.

“Dude…I just got an email from a Seoul Fashion Week associate!”

This much excitement was unheard of.

“Woah, really?!” Renjun jumped slightly, disregarding his inside voice.

“I read through it like five fucking times. I guess they want me to audition for LIE?”

“That’s the one I was hoping for!”

“Let me finish! It’s in 2 weeks, at the Dong…dae..mun Design Plaza.”

You found it oddly endearing how he slowed his reading to make sure he pronounced the name of the plaza correctly. Though, you mentally shamed yourself for using that favorable of a word to describe his comprehension skills.

“Okay but still! They probably want you to bring a bunch of stuff. Did it say? Y’know what, nevermind! We can discuss it later when I get home.” Renjun rushed, knowing you were standing closeby, but you didn’t mind.

“Where are you anyways?” Jeno asked, seemingly eating cereal based on the crunching and tapping of his spoon in the background.

“I’m at that optical illusions museum I told you about.”

You blessed Renjun at the fact that he spared mentioning you were there, even though it was much deeper than that.

“With who? You’re too lame to go by yourself.”

With a look of regret towards you, Renjun mouthed a “sorry” before spilling your name.

You slammed your eyes shut, waiting for his presumed dickhead response.

That still didn’t prepare you.

The familiar disconnect tone rang through both of your ears.

It was uncalled for.

“What the hell?” Renjun’s voice was far from calm, baffled by the “Call Ended”. You knew exactly why he hung up, but Renjun sure didn’t.

It was best if it stayed that way.

“We should move, I think there’s some people that want to get in here.” Your tone of voice had dropped to that of disappointment but you spoke quickly to distract Renjun, who was on his way to call him back.

Planning an escape would be ideal.

Was he unsatisfied about last night? Disgusted? Appalled?

These were the questions that became of justified interest; yet you weren’t guaranteed an answer, even if your life depended on it.

What made it worse, was that you would have to see him again at work tomorrow, if he didn’t call in.

“Are you okay? Is something wrong?”

Renjun snapped you out of your inner monologue, eyes scanning your face for a reaction.

“I’m fine. I know you need to go help Jeno. We can meet again later.”

“Well wait a second! We still have 2 more sections left to look at!” Renjun pointed back towards the art pieces that were indeed waiting to be seen. But based on the impending catatonia that was bound to erupt out of you, there was no patience left in you to stay here.

“No, it’s fine. I know this is a big deal and you need plenty of time to prepare. I’ll see you at work tomorrow.”

You turned on your heels and walked towards the exit, leaving Renjun in the middle of the crowd.

There was definitely something he was missing, and he had to figure it out.

~

“Jeno, I’m homee!” Renjun’s voice rang through their apartment as he took off his shoes by the door.

He heard the flush of a toilet and running faucet water, assuming Jeno was busy in the bathroom.

“The museum was super cool! You would’ve liked it.” Renjun spoke low, trying his hardest to gauge Jeno’s body language as he appeared out of the bathroom.

“Mm.” Jeno didn’t bother making eye contact, instead plopping on the living room couch to view the emails on his laptop with the most horrid sitting posture.

Noted.

Renjun joined him on the couch, leaning in to adjust his eyes to the tiny font.

“Okay so let’s go over this again.” Renjun said as he quickly scanned the email for anything Jeno could’ve missed.

“They need you to bring a physical portfolio, ID, aaaand, that's it. They’ll supply you with clothes and makeup for the audition.”

“Duh, that’s what it says.” Jeno spoke matter-of-factly, obviously annoyed.

“I’m just trying to gather all this info, no need to have an attitude… jeez.”

“We have time to gather everything. I’m gonna head out.” Jeno slammed his laptop shut on the coffee table and rose from the couch. Renjun immediately took note again:

Distancing.

“Okay you sounded so excited earlier. Now you don’t give a shit? What’s the deal here?” Renjun got up from the couch, purposefully blocking Jeno’s view of the front door. He was beginning to get hot-tempered, oddly matching his best friend's habitual energy.

“All I said is that we have time! You automatically think I’m disinterested now?”

“This is a big deal, and you’re blowing it off! Don’t come to me pissed off if no one ends up wanting you!”

Renjun tried his best to fight back a lip quiver, somewhat apologetic for saying such a statement.

Jeno froze. Eyes stinging and anger brewing.

There was an uncomfortable pause. One where Renjun considered asking if there was missing a puzzle piece to you and Jeno’s madness.

Before he could commit, Jeno grabbed his keys and phone off the coffee table and shoved past Renjun, slamming the front door shut on his way out.

~

Jeno already knew where to go to get away from Renjun.

The subway ride felt like a drag, but he found himself staring off into space; eyes nowhere near a female like usual.

Jeno experienced déjà vu, realizing he was in Hongdae.

But he wasn’t here for you. He was here to see Haechan and Jaemin, to take his mind off the overstimulation present in his life. He needed something boring, for once.

2:32pm

[jeno]: im on my way up

[haechan]: kk

Jeno shook his head, the way it never failed for Haechan to make him cringe with the use of “k.”

Jaemin was the one to open the door. Stopping in his tracks at the sight of him.

“You look like you just got laid. How do you feel? Better I hope?” Jaemin’s devious grin paired well with his bizarre observation.

“Whatever.” Jeno scoffed as he took off his shoes near the door and made his way to the kitchen.

“No, I’m serious. Who was it this time?” Jaemin followed behind, eager to hear Jeno’s storytelling, as it was something he was always good at.

Instead, Jeno made headway towards the pizza box sitting on their kitchen island, not even bothering to ask for a slice.

“Sooo…?”

“Don’t make me leave.” Jeno took a bite out of the pepperoni pizza, chewing rather savagely.

“Can I make a few guesses?”

“No.”

“Oh wait, I think I know who.” Jaemin’s cheshire grin grew even wider at his own speculation.

“It’s that chick you work with isn’t it?” This time Haechan chimed in, making his first appearance from his own bedroom.

“Y’know, I came over here hoping to relax, not play 20 questions.” Jeno finished the slice within their sentences, grabbing another and dragging his feet to their living room.

“We knew it. Sorry.” Jaemin followed again, sitting next to him on the couch.

“I’m guessing it went terrible, based on the fact you’re not saying much.” Haechan said as he grabbed the remote to turn to a scary movie, Jeno’s favorite, hoping to cheer him up from his “awful” experience.

If only they knew it was the complete opposite.

You were absolutely amazing, he thought.

He just didn’t want to share that. And to gloat about you, felt unnatural unlike the others.

If he could keep you to himself, he would. No one else needed to know.

“Well there’s plenty of them left out there.” Jaemin patted Jeno on his back, feeling smug that his friend felt comfortable enough to come around.

They had everything misunderstood, but maybe it could stay that way.

~

11:25pm

You were being suffocated by your thoughts.

To think you were replaying the events of last night again, made you somewhat nauseous.

Jeno. Naked. You. Naked.

How he rearranged your guts in the most filthy way possible.

But it was everything you wanted. And more.

It wasn’t often you were faced with the dilemma of grabbing your phone and staring at your contacts, contemplating communication; finger hovering over his name.

Before you could even take a breath, a dropdown notification covered the upper half of your screen:

“jeno”

It wasn’t even a text. The obnoxious ringtone being the only indication to snap you out of your disbelief.

If this was “pre-fuck” Jeno, you would’ve let it go to voicemail.

Your trembling thumb tapped the green phone symbol, opting to hear him talk first.

“Probably wasn’t expecting me huh?”

His voice was still just as cocky, with a sneer to go along with his mixed signals.
