Chapter 11: Christmas Special

Frienemies...or More?

"Oh, Jungkook. What's up?" Jimin said, as he waved. Jungkook frowned and walked up next to them.

"What are you doing and where are you going?" Jungkook asked, slowly. Jimin raised an eyebrow. "We're just hanging out...why?" 

Jungkook glared for a moment before relaxing his face. 

"Oh, no reason," he said as he zipped up his coat. Jimin nodded slowly, "Right...do you want to come?" 

Jungkook stopped what he was doing and looked at the two of them. Juri was rolling her eyes as Jimin smirked at him. 

He shrugged, "Sure, why not?" Juri groaned in frustration before grabbing Jimin's hand and starting ahead. 

"Woah, I didn't know Juri liked to lead," Jimin said, teasingly. She sent him a glare as they continued walking down the street until they reached the first coffee shop they could find. 

"So, when's he getting here?" Juri asked Jimin. Jungkook was tagging along behind, still being completely ignored. He was bothered at how close Jimin and Juri's relationship had become. 

"Yah, what are you doing?" Jungkook asked as Jimin put his arm around Juri's shoulders casually. But again, he was ignored. The two in front of him continued to chat as they went into the shop. 

"Aish, what's going on?" Jungkook said to himself. He ruffled his hair in frustration as he followed. After the three of them were seated, Jimin and Juri started working on their notes and homework, leaving Jungkook to himself. 

Jimin and Juri were sitting right next to each other and would continuously chat about their assignment. 

"So, for the project, why not do this one?" Juri said, pointing to one of the examples on the page. 

"We could tweek it a bit to make it have a bigger effect." 

Jimin snapped his fingers, "That's a great idea! Why didn't we think of that before?" He patted her head, "Aigoo, our Juri is so smart!" 

Jungkook scoffed at the sight, "Stop getting so lovey dovey! People are staring!" 

Jimin looked at him and smirked before sticking out his tongue, "Shut up, maknae! You're just jealous that I'm close to Juri!" 

Jungkook looked at him baffled, "A-Aniya! Why would I be jealous!? She's not even that pretty!" 

Juri looked at him and made a face, "Yah! You're not that good-looking either!" 

Jungkook mimicked her face and her words. Juri rolled her eyes, crossing her arms across her chest. 

"Stop being so immature!" She said. Jungkook mimicked her again, "Stop being so immature!" 

"Jungkook, seriously? Don't make me--!" She raised a fist threateningly. 

"Ooo~, I'm so scared!" Jungkook teased. "JEON JUNGKOOK! YOU! SERIOUSLY!" Juri leaped out of her seat and walked to his side. She pushed him against the window and gave him a couple punches. 

Jungkook grunted in pain as Jimin looked on with an amused face. 

"Hey, you g--Whoa. What's going on here...?" 

The three of them looked up and saw that Jin and V were there, standing in front of them. 

Juri gave Jungkook one last punch before sitting nicely next to him. 

"Well, hello..." Jin said, sitting down next to Jimin. Jimin high-fived him and V as they sat down next to him. 

"What's with the face Taehyung?" Jimin asked, a smirk on his face. 

V scowled at him, "Shut up, hyung." Then he turned to Jin, "This better be very very important! I had to end a date early because of you guys."

"You were on a date?" Juri asked. Then she smiled, "Was  it with Dahee? I noticed how smiley she's been all day long."

V blushed before clearing his throat, "So what's happening?" 

All of them laughed at V's reaction before Jin opened up to what exactly was happening. 

"Okay, so I asked you guys to come here for the engagement. You guys are the main people I need help from. Since tomorrow's Christmas, it'll be much more meaningful." 

Juri raised her hand slowly, "I thought we were going to do it at the coffee shop..." 

"Uh, yeah...about that...my parents want me to get married soon...like, real soon. They're afraid I might lose my chance with Junghwa," Jin said, laughing,  "-and the coffee shop is closed this week because the boss is on vacation." 

"Well, that's new." Jungkook said, leaning on one hand. Jin nodded, "So, I already talked to her parents and we're all going skating tomorrow night." 

"Skating!?" Jungkook asked, confused. "Yeah, and mysic is going to come on for Taeyang's 'You're My' and we're going to be singing it." 

"Singing!? Waeyo!?" Jimin, Jungkook, and V protested. Jin gave them a desperate look, "Come on guys! Help out a hyung, will you!? It'll be like what we always do! Plus, you guys are our vocals!"

"Aish, fine. You owe us, hyung!" Jimin said, poking Jin's shoulder. Jin poked him back, smiling, "Arasso! I'll take you guys out for dinner afterwards!" 

The three guys cheered as Juri raised a hand again. 

"So, what do I have to do with this?" Juri asked. Everyone's eyes turned to her. Jin smiled, "You're there to keep her occupied and make sure she doesn't suspect anything as we leave and get our stuff ready." 

"Okay! I got it!" Juri smiled as she was giddy about the whole situation. "I can't wait!" 

Jin sighed, "Me too! I hope everything goes well!" 

V patted his shoulder, "Hyung, I'm sure everything will be fine! You got this!" 

 


 

Merry Christmas!" Juri's mom came from her bedroom and kissed Junghwa and Juri on the cheeks. The two sisters were baking cookies for the family. 

"Are you two almost done?" Their father asked as came from the bathroom. 

"Almost!" Juri answered as she finished decorating a snowman shaped cookie. 

Junghwa laughed as Juri messed up putting on the sprinkles. 

"You failed!" She said, laughing. Juri made a face at her but laughed as well. Their mother helped them finish with everything and bag them. 

"Asa! I'm going to get ready now and meet Jin!" Junghwa said as she pulled her bow tight. Juri scoffed, "Aigoo, you two are always so lovey dovey!" She shivered jokingly. 

Junghwa smacked her shoulder as she walked past her, "Yah! Watch it! You'll be like this one day too!" 

Juri stuck out her tongue at her. When Junghwa was gone and closed the door to her room, Juri quickly slipped off her apron. 

Right as she slipped on her coat and started putting on her shoes, her mother stopped her. 

"Juri! Since you're going out, can you send some of these cookies to the Jeon's?" 

"Jeon's!? Wae!?" Juri protested. Her mother looked at her sternly, "Go!" She gave her the basket of cookies and gave her directions. 

"Don't get into any trouble! It's not far from here either!" Her mother called to her. Juri waved as she walked out of her apartment, grumbling. 

After about a ten minute walk, she had arrived at their place. She went on to the third floor and rung the door bell. Juri stood in front of the door, patiently. 

"Hello, Juri! Merry Christmas!" Mrs. Jeon said as she opened the door. Juri bowed in greeting, "Annyeonghaseyo, Mrs. Jeon! Merry Christmas to you too!" 

"Come in, come in! The guys were just talking about you!" 

Juri furrowed her eyebrows, "Yeh? The boys?" Mrs. Jeon facepalmed, "That's right! You don't know them yet!" 

"Uh...well, here are some of the cookies my sister and I made!" Juri gave her the basket of cookies.

"Thank you! Now, why don't you go knock on Jungkook's door? I'm sure they'd like to talk over what's happening today, right?" 

Juri smiled and nodded, "Yeh!" Juri went into the hallway and knocked on the door that had the sign 'BTS' on it. 

"Omma, I to--" Jungkook stopped mid-sentence after Jimin opened the door wide open. Juri stood there awkwardly in front of six boys. 

"Uh...maybe I should go..." Juri was about to turn and walk away, when Jimin grabbed her and pulled her down to sit down on the ground next to him. 

"Omo, Kookie, is this your girlfriend?" A guy with pale skin crawled up and sat next to her, studying her face. 

"I think she's the one in the picture!" A guy with a long face said, nudging another with a big smile. The guy with a big smile nudged him back, "I think so too!" 

"Uh, I'm not Jungkook's girlfriend..." Juri said, cautiously. The guy with a long face shook his head, "Aniya! It's okay, don't be embarassed!" 

Juri's eyes widened at his reaction. He was almost like an ahjumma. Jungkook shot the guy a glare. 

"Hyung. She's not my girlfriend." 

The guy looked at him with raised eyebrows, "But isn't she the girl on--" Jungkook jumped across the other unknown guy, covering his mouth. 

"HYUNG!" Jungkook yelled, his face turning red. "Who's that?" Juri whispered to Jimin. 

"That's Hoseok Hyung. Also known as J-Hope. The guy who was smiling like an idiot is Namjoon Hyung aka Rap Mon. Then the guy who's sitting next to you is Yoongi Hyung aka Suga," Jimin whispered. 

Suga whipped his head around to look at the two when he heard his name. He narrowed his eyes at Jimin as Jimin smiled sweetly at him. 

Suga made a gagging face and turned to look at Namjoon as he was trying to get everyone's attention. 

"AYO!" he yelled. Everyone looked at him as he cleared his throat. 

"Okay, y'all know the drill, right?" Namjoon said, crossing his arms. He was sitting on the mattress with V, who was staring at his hands and occasionally nodding. 

"If you guys don't, let's go over it again, okay?" Some of the guys complained as Namjoon hushed them. 

"First of all, we head over to the ice rink and check the sound systems and mics, okay? Then Jimin, V, and Jungkook go warm up their voices ready for everything. Around this time, Junghwa and Jin's parents should be arriving as planned. Juri, your name is Juri, right?" He said, pointing at her. 

Juri nodded as he continued, "Okay, Juri, you go and find Junghwa and Jin. It shouldn't be that hard since Jin said they'd be at the coffee shop around the corner. But anyways, you'll bring them over and start skating for a bit. You distract her for a couple of minutes as Jin runs away to get ready, okay?" 

Namjoon didn't wait for any replies before continuing on, "You two will go on the ice rink first and then start skating. Then, you'll hear music and bam! Jimin, V, Kookie, and Jin are there singing. Jin sings the first couple of lines then he walks up, you stand off to the side, ladadadada, Jin proposes, happy ending!" He rushed. 

Juri nodded slowly, letting the plan seep and slowly let her brain gears going. 

"Okay," she said, elongating the word, slowly nodding. Namjoon gave her a smile while nodding, quickly. 

"OKAY! LET'S HOP TO IT, PEOPLE!" Namjoon jumped up, startling the people sitting on the floor. It seemed as though the only person that could fully understand the situation was him. 

Namjoon looked around, waiting for his groupmates to stand up too. 

He poked V on the shoulder, "Yah. Are you coming? Are any of you guys coming!?" 

Everyone reluctantly got up. Juri was still slowly processing the whole plan as she walked out with the guys. 

Just as she was about to walk out the door, she was pulled back. 

"Yah!" She protested, annoyed that her train of thought was interrupted. She turned around to see Jungkook holding on to her hood. 

"What? Do you want to go outside without your scarf or bag?" 

Juri looked at him confused before realizing that he was holding her stuff. She quickly snatched them from him and put them on, quickly. 

"Thanks," she muttered. Jungkook nodded as he walked past her towards his hyungs. 

Juri watched him go as she put on her scarf. After she hastily wrapped it around her neck, she ran to catch up with them. 

They were all waiting for her in the elevator, J-Hope still holding on to the door. 

Juri thanked him as he gave her a nod. 

"So, I heard that Jimin already introduced us, correct?" J-Hope asked to break the silence that engulfed the room.

Juri nodded, "Yup, he told me."

"Oh...so what's your relationship with our Kookie?" He asked suddenly. Juri looked at him, baffled.

"We've known each other for a while...but we're not exactly friends," Juri answered. Jungkook scoffed as he crossed his arms, "We're not friends!? Tch, fine."

Juri held up her hands, "What? You said so yourself! You said we were 'frienemies'!" 

Jungkook made a face, "I can't believe you still remember that." 

"How could I forget it? It's not like we had anything else to call it!" Juri retorted. 

Jungkook made a face at her and Juri mimicked it.

"Aigoo, stop acting like a couple, please!" Jimin said, shaking his head. He rubbed his temples, looking at Namjoon to tell them to stop. 

But Namjoon only looked at the levels. Jimin sighed and opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the 'ding' of the bell. 

Everyone rushed out, since there wasn't much time left. Jungkook bumped into Juri and only scoffed as Juri almost stumbled and fell on her face. 

"OKAY! We'll split up to hyung-line and maknae-line then. We'll go set things up and you guys go practice the song. We'll see you guys later! I'll text you if anything comes up!" Namjoon waved and then dragged J-Hope and Suga after him. 

The two waved as well, before disappearing on the streets of Seoul. 

"Okay, so, let's head to the ice rink first then?" Jimin suggested. Everyone nodded, but V was texting away on his cellphone. 

"Are you texting Rap Mon already?" Jungkook asked, surprised. V shook his head before putting his cell phone away. 

"No, I was texting Dahee. I told her to meet us at the ice rink. I'm sure Juri doesn't want to be alone with us for Christmas." 

Juri smiled at him. She knew that even though he was playing cool, he was head over heels for Dahee. 

"Thank you, oppa!" She side-hugged him. "There's that 'oppa' again! I deserve to be called 'oppa' too!" Jungkook protested. 

Juri scrunched up he face, "As if! You don't deserve it anymore!" 

"Wae!? I've known you longer than anyone here!" Jungkook yelled. 

"So!? You're meaner!" Juri yelled back at him. Jimin facepalmed, "Hey, hey, kids. Calm down! We're not going to get anywhere if you two keep arguing like that!" 

Juri glanced at Jimin before looking back at Jungkook. "Fine. But this isn't over!" She said, poking his chest. 

Jungkook turned around and marched outside after zipping up his jacket all the way. 

Finally, with little bickering, they reached the ice rink. There wasn't much people on it yet since everyone was probably still at home. 

V walked into the tent that kept the shoes that could be rented. Jimin, Jungkook, and Juri tried to look for Jimin's aunt who managed the rink. 

V then emerged, smiling like an idiot, with Dahee next to him. When Dahee saw Juri, she ran up to her and tackled her with a hug. 

"Oomph!" Juri almost fell over from the impact, but was able toncatch herself, last minute. 

"Well, hello Dahee...." Juri trailed off, looking at her overly excited and happy face. 

"HELLOOOO!" She said, giddily. Juri backed away from her a bit, "Are you...okay?" 

"OF COURSE! WHY WOULDN'T I BE!?" Dahee said, pulling Juri again and hugging her. 

"Did you see Chen in real life or something?" Juri asked. Dahee laughed out loud, "I WISH! No," she grabbed Juri's hand and pulled her away from the boys, "...V asked me out!" 

Juri smiled, "I know." Dahee pouted, "How!? I wanted to tell you!" 

"Oh, come on! You were so happy yesterday and plus, I saw you walk out, hand in hand with him."

Dahee blushed, wringing her hands together, "Was it that obvious!? I didn't tell my parents yet..." 

"It's okay! I'm sure they'll let you two date! Oppa's smart, respectful, and good-looking. Why wouldn't they like him?" 

Juri squeezed her hands, "I'm happy for you! Geez, and you always said I would get a boyfriend first!" 

Daheen laughed and grabbed her into another bone-crushing hug, "Thank you so much!" 

"You're welcome," Juri said, patting her back. Dahee let go just as V called them over. 

The girls walked over to the warming tent, surprised to see Jungkook and Jimin singing. 

Dahee nudged Juri and nodded at Jungkook. Juri eyed her as if she was crazy. Dahee smirked and sat next to V who also harmonized with the two guys. 

Juri's eyes couldn't help but to fall on to Jungkook as he  hit the high notes.

'His voice is so smooth and soothing...' she thought as he harmonized with Jimin and V. This was a whole new side of Jungkook she had never seen before. 

'How many sides do you have, Jungkook? Will I ever get to see all of them...?' 

After the small snippet of the song ended, Jungkook looked up at Jimin in triumph. 

"We got this!" He said, smiling brightly. 'I've never seen him smile like that in so long...' 

Juri couldn't help but to smile softly, before Dahee nudged her. 

"You're falling for him~!" She whispered in Juri's ear.  Juri moved away from her and glared at her direction as Dahee chuckled to herself. 

"How long has it been since we got here?" Jimin asked, leaning back in his chair. 

Dahee looked at her cellphone and gasped, "It's 5:45PM!"

Everyone gasped and stood up. They looked out the window and noticed how many couples and families were getting on the ice. 

"Oh, crap. Juri, quickly go and find Jin and Junghwa! Jungkook, V, and Dahee, stay here and help me set up the other stuff! Rap Mon should be here soon, if he's not here already!" Jimin said, taking control of the situation. 

"Okay! Got it!" Juri saluted and ran out. She followed what Rap Mon had said earlier and called Junghwa. 

After a couple rings, she picked up. 

"Yes?" Junghwa asked. "Unnie! Where are you?"

"Coffee shop, why?" 

"Are you near an ice rink?" Juri asked. "Uh...I dunno...Jin, are we near an ice rink?" 

Jin was heard in the background, saying things. 

"Yeah, we are. Why?" Junghwa answered. 

"Well, me and mom, and dad are all here! Bring Jin along for a family outing!"

"Why!?" Junghwa protested. "Because! Mom said so!" 

"Aish, fine. Let me talk to Jin about it first." 

Juri waited for a moment as Junghwa discussed things with Jin. Finally, she came back on the line. 

"Okay, we'll be there shortly!" Junghwa said. Juri jumped in excitement, "Okay! I'll see you later!" She said, trying to calm down. 

"Arasso!" Junghwa ended the call. Juri ran back inside and ran into her parents. 

"Omma! Appa! You guys came just in time! Junghwa's on her way right now." 

"Really!? See, honey! I told you!" Her mother said, dragging her husband along. "Alright, alright. I apologize," her father said, laughing. 

Juri's parents went across and rented some ice skates. 

"We'll rent some skates for Junghwa, so that Jin can escape and grab some skates for himself." Her father said, putting on some skates. 

"That's so smart!" Juri said, laughing. She was slipping on her skates, when she heard her cell phone ringing. 

"Hello?"

"Juri? Where are you guys?" Junghwa asked. Juri motioned to her parents that Junghwa was here. Juri's mother quickly dialed Namjoon's number. 

"Oh, we're here in the tent, putting on our skates. We got one for you!" 

"Okay! I see you!" Then she ended the call before running up with Jin. 

"Omma! Appa! Juri!" Junghwa called. Juri and her parents waved in return as Jin waved again. 

"Hello, dear! Come, we got you some skates!" Her mother said, grabbing her hand and seating her. Junghwa looked up at Jin, "Does Jin have one?" 

Her mother looked around, "No...sorry! We didn't know what size he wore..."

"Oh...then oppa, are you going to go get one?" Junghwa asked Jin. Jin nodded, "Yeah, I'll be back."

Jin kissed her on the forehead and left the tent. Juri made a face and mockingly shivered, "Ugh, so sweet!" 

Junghwa laughed and flicked her forehead, "Thank you, Juri! That's why I love my boyfriend!"

The parents laughed at their two daughters that were bickering about the smallest thing. 

"Aigoo, you two. Come on, let's go!" Their father urged. He had his arm around his wife as they started to leave the tent. 

"We'll see you two later!" Their mother chuckled, waving. Juri and Junghwa waved as they walked out. 

"I think I'm going to wait for Jin..." Junghwa said, not getting up. Juri grabbed her arm and pulled her up, "Andwae! Come on, I don't want to skate alone!"

"Please, please, please skate with me? Just for a bit before you're gone?" Juri pleaded with her. Junghwa shook her head, lightly laughing, "Fine, fine. It's not everyday that you see Juri so desperate!" 

"Unnie!" Juri whined before laughing. The sisters went on the ice and enjoyed the moment, pushing and pulling each other. 

Then, the music for 'You're My' started and Jin's voice came on the speakers. 

Junghwa stopped, "Isn't that....no way..." Junghwa started laughing and let go of Juri's hand as she walked to the other side of the rink where a huge group of people were standing. 

Juri followed her, smiling brightly. Everything was going just as planned! 

When they got to the group, they pushed through and saw Jin, V, Jimin, and Jungkook standing in a line, in front of mics. 

"Oh my gosh..." Junghwa whispered as Jin winked at her. Junghwa covered from the surprise and started to tear up. 

Juri came up behind her and rubbed her back. Then Jin stepped forward as V, Jimin, and Jungkook continued singing. 

Jin went down on one knee as the bystanders cheered. 

"Junghwa, we've been with each other for three long years. We've gone through our ups and downs, lefts and rights. Though I may not be the best and perfect guy, you still chose me over the rest. I don't deserve you at all, but I'm going to take the courage and ask you this. Park Junghwa, will you marry me?" 

Everyone was completely silent as Junhwa started to tear up. 

"I...I...yes! Yes! I will!" She said, dropping down to hug Jin. 

Jin wiped away her tears and kissed her forehead as everyone cheered. They started to disperse as they put on some Christmas music. 

Juri wrapped her arms around herself and was about to go forward and congratulate the newly engaged when she felt two arms circle around her. 

Her eyes widened in surprise, and started struggling until she heard a certain voice next to her ear. 

"Can't we just stay like this for a moment?" 

The voice's owner was Jungkook. Juri's breath hitched in , not able to say anything. 

Jungkook set his head on top of Juri's. "Y'know, this is probably the most intimate I've ever been with you...and I like it." 

Juri opened to say something, but Jungkook cut her off, "Don't. You don't have to say anything." 

Juri swallowed the spit that was slowly increasing in . 

"When will you ever learn? When will you know and notice, Juri?" He said, squeezing her closer to him. Juri could feel the whole world stop around her, because right now, all that there was, was Jungkook and her. 

'Stop,' she wanted to say, 'Stop making me feel like this' she thought. 

Then Jungkook did the unexpected.

Jungkook kissed the top of her head.

"Merry Christmas."
