Jungkook had not planned on going in to work on a Saturday, but then he remembered that he had left his phone there. There were two missed calls and a message from Tris that read: 'I am so so sorry, I am not going to make it tonight, please have an amazing time and enjoy the rest of your birthday!' Jungkook smiled, as he read the message again. Today is the day, he thought, today is the day he is going to ask Tris out on a date. He could no longer wait until Monday.
