You’d been going to the same gym for months now, always at the same time. And always, without fail, he was there.

Jungkook.

Sleeveless shirt, hair tied back, headphones in. Completely focused as he moved through his routine like he was born for this.

You never spoke to him — never even dared to smile when your eyes met (if they ever did). Instead, you stole glances between your own sets, heart pounding harder than any workout could make it.

Today was no different.

You were at the water fountain, trying not to look like you were staring as he moved to the squat rack. But your gaze caught on the tattoos peeking out from his arm, the sweat glistening down his neck, and you almost forgot to breathe.

Then he turned.

For a moment you thought he was looking past you — but no. His eyes stayed on you, curious, like he was finally noticing you for the first time.

And then, to your absolute shock, Jungkook smiled.

Just a small one. But it was enough to send you back to your treadmill with your pulse racing for a whole new reason.
