Later that night

After saying her goodbyes to Taehyung at the door, Sakura braves the cold and hurries to the curb where Jungkook waits. "You took your time" he huffs before handing her the helmet, and she hesitates when taking it, now just holding the item like it was a bomb or something. "What?" Jungkook groans.

"What?" The girl repeats.

"Well are you gonna put it on your head?"

"J-jimin never made me wear one"

"Jimins an idiot" the boy says before briskly pushing the kickstart lever with his foot. "You got 10 seconds to get on or I'm leaving you here alone"

Not even doubting that the boy wasn't exaggerating, Sakura places the helmet on her head and climbs to sit on the back of the bike. "C-can you just promise me something?" She asks nervously, arms sliding to gently hug the males waist. "Don't go too FAAAST!!"

20 minutes later

Sakura PoV

I step off from the bike, removing the helmet before passing it back to him. "Thankyou by the way" I blurt.

"No problem—."

"I don't just mean for the ride" I look at him, and wait till he looks at me with those humongous doe eyes. When the silence hits I take that as my queue to head inside. Think I've had enough of awkward pauses for one night :)

Next Day

"So this Taehyung boy. Is he tall?"

"Isaac why is height so important to you?"

"Because. You know the saying. Big guy, big dick"

"You're unbelievable" Sakura says, eye rolling before pushing the door open for the both of them. Their last class finished a couple of minutes ago.

"So anyway when will I get to meet this mystery man??"

"Sakura" a distant voice calls, causing Sakura to look ahead at the opposite side of the road. There stood Taehyung, a bouquet of flowers clutched in his hand as he beamed with a bright smile.

"..Pretty soon" Sakura blurts.

22 minutes later

"So. Isaac is ..interesting"

"He just has his own way of talking" Sakura laughs before taking a seat beside Taehyung at the back of the bus. With a soft smile she smells the fresh set of flowers before her. "These are so pretty by the way. Thankyou"

"You're welcome. I was gonna get you chocolates instead. Jungkook mentioned you had hay fever"

"So where are we going?" Sakura quickly changes the subject.

"To meet the guys. That cool with you?"

"No problemo"

Sakura PoV

Looking ahead I see a few young couple sitting on this bus, girls holding their boyfriends hands or tickling their arms, guys occasionally kissing their girlfriends on the cheek. But the couple that really catches my attention, are the two boys sat a few seats ahead, cutely resting their heads against one another as they attempt to sleep.

I glance up at Taehyung, and he's just casually staring ahead. I glance down at his hands, seeing them tucked away in the pockets of his jacket.

Just ask him Sakura. Be a woman and make the first move.

"Hey Taehy—."

"Oo this is our stop" the boy chirps before getting up.

"Huh??"

"Come on" he smiles before walking down to the front. I look out of the window, and this is not where he lives, or where I live?? God forbid if Kirsty ever saw this part of the city she'd puke into one of her Chanel bags.

We get off the bus together , and that's when I see the guys waiting across the other side of the road. Holy shit. Am I being introduced to some mafia meeting?? Like on the Sopranos??

When crossing over, everyone looks happy to see me, except a certain someone. "What's she doing here?" I hear Jungkook mutter to Yoongi.

"Sakura, Sakura, Sa-Ku-Raaaa—." Jimin begins singing my name like a little jazz routine, snapping his fingers and bouncing softly as he approaches me. I smile and accept the hug from him.

"Woahhh who are the flowers from?" Namjoon smirks, and I press my lips shut to subdue a smile, but the minute I feel Taehyungs hand on the small of my back it's literally impossibly. "Ey look she's blushing" Namjoon adds.

"I'm not, it's just hot out"

"It's legit -2 degrees out"

"Well I'm wearing a lot of layers"

With all the guys smirking and scoffing, I come to realise I'm not only a terrible liar, but an amusingly terrible one.

"We off then?" Jin clasps his hands together. "Hoseok will be waiting at the usual spot"

Hoseok??

I look up at Taehyung in question.

"Hoseoks our old roommate." He answers. "He moved out a couple of months ago when he got into a serious relationship"

"Ohhh. Do you still keep in touch though?"

"Pretty much. I mean when he's not with his girlfriend he's out jumping with us"

"Wait. J-jumping?"

"Come on cutie" the male smiles before pushing me along. Honestly. My mind right now.

20 minutes later

Okay. So this is not a what I had in mind at all. No trampolines. Just an abandoned skate park.

"Hey you guys made it" a male calls out, and all the guys greet him with hair ruffles and brotherly handshakes.

"Hoseok this is Sakura" Taehyung introduces me to the slightly tatted male. Okay are any of these guys bare skinned? Ew. Wait, that sounds weird.

"Sakura" Hoseok smiles at me. "Tae's mentioned you before but my god he never said how beautiful you were" the boy comments. Wow. This boy sure knows how to sweet talk a girl.

"Oh trust me you wouldn't be saying that if you saw me at 6:00 in the morning, it's like shrek and donkey got freaky under the sheets and had me" I laugh, but dear Lord why did I laugh?? Why did I even say that sentence?!

Hoseok suddenly switches to look at Taehyung. "I like her. Keep this one around please"

Just as Hoseok walks away, I hold onto Taehyungs arm so he'll look at me. "So when you said jumping, what exactly did you mean—."

"Hyung" Jungkook calls, shrugging his chin before gesuturing something with his hands. Taehyung responds by reaching for a pack of cigarettes and tossing it over to him.

"Oh..you smoke?"

Sighing, Taehyung drops his head low. "Probably should have told you" he speaks before looking at me. "Look if it's a problem—."

"It's not"

"Oh, so you smoke too?"

"No but, that doesn't give me the right to tell you to stop"

"It just means I'll be silently judging you every time you have one" I say before walking backwards, and when I see a smile curve on the boys face it makes me smile too. God damn something about those heart shaped lips just gets me going.

"So Sakura get over here" Hoseok gestures for me to come sit with him and the others around the edge of the skate bowl. "I wanna get to know the girl whose gonna carry Taehyungs future child"

"Jesus Hoseok are you trying to scare the poor girl off??" Jin scoffs, now turning to look at me. "Sakura ignore him he's always like this"

"Always like what?" Hoseok repeats.

"Nosey"

"Tryna say I've got a big nose?!"

"No dipshit, like you're invasive on others business"

"How am I invasive you haven't even let me ask my first question yet"

Sighing Jin gestures for the male to ask the question.
Hoseok looks at me, flashing me a warm smile. "Sakura"

"Hoseok" I reply.

"So are you and Taehyung having sex yet or—."

"Okayyyy" Taehyung sings. "Think that's enough of the Hoseok interview. Can we talk about something else please?"

"Oo I know!" Jimin beams all giddy, dangling his legs like a kid over the skate bowl. "Let's play fuck, marry, kill. I'll go first, ermm—."

"No no" Yoongi interrupts before smacking his hands over the males mouth from behind. "I beg someone else to go first or he'll give us shit ones again"

"Fine I'll go" Namjoon grins, and when his eyes lock onto mine, I mentally face palm. Going first can never be a good thing in games like this. "Aight Sakura, Yoongi, Jungkook or Taehyung. Go"

"W-wait dont you have to choose celebrities for this kind of game?"

"It can be whoever" Taehyung tells me. "Oh by the way if you kill me i won't be upset. I'll just haunt your ass for all eternity"

"Well am definitely gonna die and we all know why" Yoongi huffs.

"Why would you say that?" I ask.

"Because you're obvs gonna marry Taehyung, and obvs gonna fuck Jungkook. He's got a massive penis"

"Dude" Jungkook looks at the boy. "Did you get a spurt of Jimin syndrome or something?"

Wow. 4 minutes in and I've already found out one of the guys measurements..

With a displeased expression Jungkook just takes a drag from his cigarette, the end lighting with an orange glow before he puffs out black smoke into the air. I've never been lightened by the idea of smoking, but something about the way Jungkook does it is mesmerising, so mesmerising that I almost forget about the game. But Namjoons cough brings me back to reality.

"E-erm. Well. I guess I'll Marry Taehyung"

Even though I predicted it, the guys making Ooo sounds still turns me a little embarrassed.

"And I would sleep with Yoongi"

With eyes widening to the size of golf balls, Yoongi almost chokes on his own saliva. "Seriously?! Even after I told you about Jungkooks elephant dick??"

"Thanks Hyung"

"Well. Jungkook smokes so i wouldn't really wanna kiss him"

I mean that's not a unfair reason right? And yet I'm confused when Jungkook scoffs. "Is she for real?"

"What?" I question him, feeling ready to argue against whatever topic he throws my way.

"Well little miss perfect, think you're forgetting that everyone sat here smokes. Taehyung included"

"Oh yeah.."

"Well maybe she was just trying to spare your feelings kooks" Taehyung smirks before wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "After all she is now the first girl to officially reject you"

"Now now kids let's play nice" Jin gestures, the true mother hen in him coming out into the open. "Sakura it's your turn to pick—."

"Actually I wanna play a different game if that's okay. And I was thinking truth or dare"

"Okay, you can pick first then—."

"Jungkook" I blurt, eyes fixed on the smug faced smoker. "Truth or dare?" I ask, and with full confidence the boy pop out the word—

"Truth"

"K. Is it true you're an ass?"

"No. Sakura truth or dare?"

"Truth"

"Is it true you speak before thinking?"

"No. Truth or dare?"

"Truth"

"Is it true you enjoy making others uncomfortable?"

"No. Truth or dare?"

"Wait aren't we all supposed to have a turn when playi—."

"Jimin shush this is getting good!" Yoongi smirks, hands back to covering the boys mouth.

"Truth" I reply.

Flicking his cigarette aside Jungkook crosses his legs and leans a little over the edge of the skate bowl. "Is it true that you're little brat?"

"Nope" I say, popping out the letter "p" at the end. You know, if I stare at him long enough is it possible for me to burn a hole through that dumb face of his.

Honestly he's lucky he's sitting across the skate bowl from me; because my god I don't know what my body strength is capable of but let's just say I would have done something pretty lethal to that pretty face by now.

Jungkook PoV

You know for a girl that used to stutter at almost every sentence, she sure doesn't have a problem with it anymore.

"Truth or dare?" She asks.

"Truth"

"Is it true you judge too quickly"

"I just assume things that turn out to be correct"

"And what do you assume about me??"

"Pretty sure you already asked your question" I smirk, and boy can I tell it pisses her off. Don't ask to play the game if you can't even follow the rules kitten. "I'm done with this" I tak before getting up, ready to walk away when a noise in the distance catches my attention. A group of guys begin making their way over to us, one of them holding a crowbar which he points straight at me. "Him!" He calls out.

Crap.

"He took the purse!" he adds.

"Erm. Kooks?" Jin questions.

"Yeah Hyung"

"Wanna tell me why those five guys look ready to butcher your ass?"

"Well..I could tell you now. Or. We could run"

"...let's run—."

"Yup"

Sakura PoV

"Come on cutie" Taehyung pulls me up, and before I know it we're all running. No questions; no discussions, just running and a whole lot of it, seriously, these guys gotta have Usain Bolt somewhere in their ancestry trees.

"Wait who are those guys?!" I ask, shooting my head to look back, and judging by their angered faces I'm guessing they don't just wanna talk things out.

"People Jungkooks pissed off"

I don't know whether it's because Taehyungs holding my hand so tight, or that five thugs are chasing us all; but my heart is pounding like a floor drill right now.

"What's the plan then Jk?" Jin asks.

"Roof top" the boy calls back, and that's when he climbs on top of a dumpster before pulling himself over a wall. One by the one the guys all do the same; me and Taehyung being the last ones there. Holy shit I'm gonna get left aren't I? I'm gonna be left and beaten to death with a rusty crowbar. My body will be found days later and my parents will find out on the news. They'll no doubt spell my name wrong like every Starbucks I've ever been too, and after my death I'll forever be known as Sackura, not Sakura.

Within a second Taehyung is over the wall. And I'm all alone. I climb up onto the dumpster, but the wall is too tall for me to even see over. You know I blame my parents for this, mothers 5ft 3 and my fathers 5ft 5 so being tall was never gonna be possible for me now was it.

Just before I go into full on panic mode, two sets of hands reach over the wall and pull me up, and I'm now greeted by both Taehyung and Jimin.

"Were you napping there or something?" Jimin jokes.

"Not now Jimin" Taehyung huffs before grabbing hold of my hand again. We catch up to the others, and there's another wall up ahead, only this time it's a couple meters higher. Just as I'm about to wonder how the hell my scrawny ass is meant to get up there; Jungkook demonstrates by leaping to grab hold of the gutter pipe, almost using it as a climbing pole. The others all follow after him effortlessly, and thats when it hits me. These guys were all raised by Spider-Man.

"Taehyung I can't" I stop in my tracks, shaking my head. He stops too, so does Jimin, and they both look at each other for a moment.

"There is another way to the rooftop" Jimin admits.

"Do we have time though?" Taehyung asks. And just before the discussion can properly take place, we hear the yells of those five thugs in the distance.

"We'll just lift her up first" Taehyung says and grabs hold of me again. When we reach the gutter pipe, Jimin climbs up first like some little spider monkey, and Taehyung bends down on one knee. Not how I'd imagine him doing that for the first time but ey I'll roll with it.

He pats his knee. "Climb on and I'll lift you"

I nod and do as he says, stepping onto his thigh carefully whilst Jimin reaches down for my hands.
I stretch, but he's still too far for me to reach.

"Gonna have to put those spaghetti arms to use Tae" the boy calls.

"I'll get you for that later" the male grunts, hands now gripping onto my waist as he lifts me a little higher, and Jimin finally grips hold of my hands before pulling me up. The relief I feel only lasts for a short moment until I see one of the thugs running straight for Taehyung. I improvise, picking up a small stone and lobbing it far.

"OUCH!" Taehyung winces before rubbing his forehead.

"Sorry! I was aiming for him!" I point. There's a reason I was always picked last in gym. Making a second attempt I pick up a bigger stone and throw it, this time hitting the thug sharp on the nose.

"Damn nice shot" Jimin grins, and Taehyung makes it over the wall safely.

"Okay so I'm beating up Jimin for the spaghetti comment, and suing you for abuse" he points, and i pout before checking his forehead. "I'm sorry, is it sore?"

"A little, but a kiss to the head might make it better" he flashes me a cheeky grin, and I feel my self turn a little mushy inside. It's the Kim charms people I can't.

"How about we get to that layer when our lives aren't at risk? Sound good?"

"I'm holding you to that"

2 minutes later we make it onto the rooftop where the guys are all waiting. Aww cute, it's almost like a little reunion.

"What's the story then?" Taehyung asks.

"Gotta jump onto the other rooftop" Jungkook huffs. "But this gap is bigger then any we've made before. Gonna each have to take a fast run up"

"What? No there's no way Sakura can make that jump. Is there not another way down??" Jin questions.

Shaking his head Jungkook flicks his cigarette aside. Damn did we actually take that long?? "We already checked for low balconies, we have to jump and we have to jump now" the boy replies.

"Now when he says jump" I blurt, and all the guys look at me worriedly. Sweet baby Jesus I better have gained some muscle from all this cardio.

"Well, see you all on the other side" Yoongi smirks, and within a second he's racing forward and leaping over the gap, roughly landing on the other side before tumbling to a stop. To no surprise Jungkook is second to jump, like he'd actually consider waiting for me. His landing is less rough, but that doesn't surprise me either; boys got Tom Cruise genes no doubt. As the guys all go one by one, it starts to hit me that this is all real; and that I'm actually going to have to jump.

"Taehyung I-I'm freaking out—."

"Hey look at me" the male cups hold of my face, eyes so sweet and genuine as they stare deeply into mine. "You can do this okay. You just have to focus on landing, don't focus on the drop—."

"N-no Taehyung I'm not like you guys I don't do this kind of thing everyday. I-I wear avocado shorts
a-and dance to Billy Joel, I eat soup out of the mug and call it hug in a mug—."

"But you can do this sort of thing Sakura you just gotta tell your self you can"

God knows what it is, but something in those brown eyes tells me that this boy actually believes I can make this jump. Either that or he's high on drugs, but I'd like to believe it's the first one.

"Tae we gotta do this now" Namjoon calls. It's now just us three on this rooftop, the others all stood waiting for us on the other side. Kind of reminds me of that ending scene in The Croods.

"Sakura" Taehyung's voice snaps me out of my thoughts.

"Taehyung" I frown and look down. It's like I can feel my heart drop into my stomach. "You have no idea how scared I am right now"

"I know but listen to me. It's all in your head. There's no proof that you can't make this jump"

"Erm how about gravity?"

"Sakura. Trust me. You can make this jump. And I promise you this. If you don't.."

"Then you'll mop up my smushed body parts off the sidewalk?" I question. Cracking a smile Taehyung takes hold of my hand. "Come on cutie" he speaks, and my god we're actually gonna do this. "On three we're gonna run. Got it?"

"Can't we just find stunt doubles??"

Ignoring me Taehyung steps back and begins the count, hand still squeezing tight of mine. Dear god, is it possible to have swallowed my own tongue??

"One...two ....THREE"

We run. Fast. My feet hitting the concrete rooftop so loud that the sound almost echoes through the air.
I can do this. I can do this. The closer I get to the ledge I just keep repeating those three words.

I can do this. I can do th—

"I CANT!" I quickly rip my hand from Taehyungs grip, but he's already so close to the edge that it wouldn't be possible to slow down in time. He's forced to jump, and for a split second my heart stops, but to no surprise him and Namjoon make it onto the other side. In that short moment everything feels fine again, that is until I realise I'm now the only one left on this side, the same side where five thugs will be any second now.

"Alright Sakura baby you got this!" Jin claps his hands together; almost like a mom cheering their kid on at a school sports day.

Taking a gulp I cautiously walk towards the edge of the roof, and slowly, peer over. It's as though a gust of wind crashes against my body, and I shoot backwards and away from the edge. I scrunch my eyes shut and clutch hold of my chest, shaking my head.

"Sakura!" I hear Taehyung call, but I don't open my eyes. This is nothing like the other day. The drop is much higher; the gap is much wider, and this time I don't have a choice. There is everything wrong with this situation right now, EVERYTHING!!

You know when I moved to the city, my mom asked me to try and make friends this year. Think I did pretty well with Isaac, the most dangerous thing we've ever done is return a library book past it's due date.

"Sakura come on sweet you're running out of time here" Jimin adds. "Just think of it as one big transparent floor"

"Oo but don't try walk on it!!!"

Okay. I need to calm my nerves. What always calms my nerves?? What what what??

Holy shit..

APoV

The guys all watch as Sakura reaches for her jacket pocket.

"What the heck is she doing?" Hoseok questions.

Furrowing his brows Taehyung try's to make out the song that the girl was now playing out loud. "I think...I think she's playing Billy Joel"

"Oh for real?"

"Well she said he's her favourite artist"

"This girl just confuses me more and more everday" Jungkook comments, now watching Sakura start to move her body to the music. "Oh for fuck sake Hyung she's dancing now, can we just go?"

"Jungkook!" Jin snaps before clipping the boy on the back of the head.

"Are you all seriously not seeing what I'm seeing right now?? She's dancing. To Billy Joel."

Ignoring their younger friends concern the others all just watch Sakura. And that's when an idea strikes Jimins mind.

"..a-and when she knowwwws what she wannnts from her ti-i-iiime" he begins to sing along to the song, loud enough for Sakura to hear. It makes her stop dancing, and finally open her eyes.

Taehyung joins in.

"And when she waaaakes up and maaaakes up her mi-i-iiind"

Then the others, until all except Jungkook are singing along to the 1983 hit classic, Uptown Girl.

After 1 minute into the song, Sakura realises its time to jump. She plugs her earphones in, and tucks her phone back into her pocket, still playing the heavenly vocals of Joel through her ears. She takes around 10 steps back, each one making her entire body tense up. In an ideal world, she would be allowed at least another 5minutes of prep time. But unfortunately, the thugs had finally found where the group had escaped to, and they had eyes locked on Sakura.

"Here goes nothing" the girl mutters before sprinting forward, her pony tail flowing behind her as the five guys attempt to chase her down.
Closer and closer she gets to the edge before she leaps into the air and soars, legs still moving as though she was running on the ground, limbs flying all over as she desperately tries to help her self reach the other rooftop top. She can see it. The lining of the ledge. So close, but not close enough. She'll miss it surely, by an inch at least.

But then out of the unexpected, a pair of arms hook onto her figure and snatch her over the ledge and onto the rooftop. She gasps, all emotions smacking her at once before she grips on tightly to the mystery person. Shooting her head up she sees him. Jungkook, staring down at her closely, his arms hooked around her securely, as though letting go wasn't an option.

Later that night
Sakura PoV

Taehyung:
I should have never brought you to that area of the city

Sakura:
It's not your fault
Those guys were after Jungkook, how could you have known they'd be there

Taehyung:
No but I knew that area Sakura
Guys like them run the streets and it was no place for a girl like you

Sakura:
I don't know if this is leading to some big apology but if so, just know you're already forgiven

Taehyung:
Well how are you feeling anyway?
That jump would have taken a lot out of you

Sakura:
I'm okay

Actually. I'm more then okay. And it's confusing.

When I made it over that ledge, my heart was racing faster then ever before. My entire body was tingling and I couldn't feel my feet, it felt like I was floating, like I weighed nothing, like I was part of the air or something.

Taehyung:
You could have stayed over you know?

Sakura:
Thanks but I have an early shift tomorrow

Taehyung:
Okay
Well how about we meet tomorrow afternoon
Just us this time?

Sakura:
I'd like that:))

Taehyung:
I'll meet you outside your work

Sakura:
Okaiii

Taehyung:
Oh and btw
I'm still holding you to that kiss

I smile before swiping my phone screen off and roll to lay on my back. And that's when he crosses my mind again.

Of all people he would have been the last i'd predict to help me. And yet. There he was. Holding me so tightly, as though letting me fall would have been his greatest fear. I mean I'm not stupid, he probably wouldn't have risked his own safety if I wasn't involved with Taehyung but..

Still..

The boy surprises me more and more everyday. He's cold one minute, and then he's offering me rides home on his motorcycle. He's insulting me in a game of truth or dare; and then he's practically saving my skin.

Jeon Jungkook. You are one big mystery.

Damn that sounds like some edgy album title.
