9: (L)OVE

(L)eaning on the door’s threshold, you arched your brows and repeated yourself, “Boys? Tell me about what?”

There was a long pause.

“That we’ll have a date on Sunday,” Jungkook said smiling widely.

“Tsk, you haven’t even told me what happened to you yet,” you said entering the room and placing the bags of food you bought on the table.

“I just felt a little bit dizzy, maybe because of the weather?” He said looking closely at Taehyung. “No worries, I’ll be dismiss tomorrow, right hyung?”

“Huh?” Taehyung was caught off guard. The doctor told him that Jungkook need to stay longer since they needed to do some further examinations on him.

“Rigggght, Hyung?”

The guy chuckled halfheartedly and just nodded.

So there you were head on the side of his bed while sitting half of your body on the chair, it’s a bit uncomfy but you were trying your best to get some sleep since you still have to attend school tomorrow.

Jungkook caressed your hair softly as if you were some kind of fragile thing. His delicate touch made your eyelids get heavy-- you tilted a bit to find a better position.

“Babe,” Jungkook’s soft voice rang on your ear.

“Mmh?” You hummed sleepily.

“You can lay with me on the bed, we can cuddle,” he offered, seeing how uncomfortable you were. “Come here.”

Jungkook moved to the side slightly, giving enough space for your slim frame, you crawled your way beside him, eyes half closed as you let your head rest on his arms.

It felt warm and cozy under the blanket as he hugged your small figure strongly, he placed a soft kiss on the crown of your head and inhaled the sweet scent of your shampoo while you settled yourself on his chest letting his familiar aroma set you to sleep.

“Time to wake up love birds,” Taehyung said purposely banging the door behind him.

You groaned as you look up to see Jungkook’s face only inches from yours, he smiled and you wondered how he could look way too handsome for someone who is sick and just woken up.

“Morning my princess,” he said as he pecked on your lips which made you smile immediately.

“Hello? I’m here,” Taehyung said, waving his hands on the air, “Y/N, you still have classes to attend to.”

“Oh! Shit!” You exclaimed and you stood up and kissed Jungkook on the lips as you get your bags. “Need to go.”

“Okay, see you tomorrow on our date,” your boyfriend winked with a taunting smile on his face, “I’ll text you the address.”

You waved at the both of them and rushed to the university.

“Please Hyung, just one day,” Jungkook pleaded.

“You are crazy Jungkook,” Taehyung answered fast, the younger one was asking him to sneak him out of the hospital the next day so he could go on a date with you.

“I already promised her, I can’t let her down. I know you can pull this off, please.”

They’ve been going off about this for more than an hour now and he knew that Jungkook wouldn’t let him rest if he won’t agree to the guy, so Taehyung bit hard on his lips, cursing deep inside and asking why it has to be his best friend who had to suffer these kinds of consequences. He deserves to be happy, like the way he always made people smile when they’re around him.

“Just one day,” he finally gave in, “and you’ll be back here, and do all the examinations.”

“Yes!!!”

7:16pm

Two and a half hours.

That’s the amount of time you’ve already spent looking through your wardrobe and yet you still couldn’t find a perfect dress. You’ve never had an actual date before and it would be a total lie saying that you’re not a nervous wreck at the moment, cursing for a millionth time you decided to look through your dresses thoroughly looking at every single sides of the wooden wardrobe.

After a few minutes of rumbling to the chaos you’ve created, something caught your attention and you finally saw this white colored dress at the very corner of the closet.

It was a simple white chiffon dress, the length was perfect running just above your knees, its laced wide open neckline and sleeves made the dress even more dramatic. You turned around letting the feather like fabric twirl along with your movements.

“This is it,” you smiled and sat in front of the mirror to put on a very light make up and decided to just let your hair down.

Your phone lit up and you check it immediately.

Taehyung will pick you up. :)

You smiled and just after a few seconds, your doorbell rang.

“What’s all these?” You asked, smile could not be erased from your face.

“Just sit back and relax Madam,” Taehyung said winking at you on the rear view mirror as you positioned yourself at the back seat of his car.

It was almost after an hour of driving when Taehyung said that you’ve finally reached your destination.

He made you close your eyes as he guided you, and you giggled as you grip on Taehyung’s hand. After few moments, you both halted and your boyfriend’s best friend whispered, ‘you may open your eyes now Y/N’, and as you did, you saw Jungkook’s chocolate brown eyes on you, he was standing on a gazebo a few meters away, despite the distance it still didn’t close the fact that he looked striking with that coat and tie he was wearing.

It looked magical as the string lights dangling on the gazebo’s ceiling and corners flickered, the cool breeze fanned your skin, and the tranquility of the night wrapped you.

You walked your way towards Jungkook letting go of Taehyung’s hand, eyes never left each other’s gaze while you get nearer to him, he spread his arms allowing you to wrap your arms around him and filled your lungs with his sweet scent.

“You look beautiful baby,” he said.

“You don’t look so bad yourself either,” you giggled referring to his simple yet elegant formal clothing.

He guided you to sit on the table situated at the very middle of the gazebo.

“You prepared all these?” You asked staring intently on the various foods on the table. Jungkook reached for the wine on your side and poured it on both of your glasses.

“Did you like it?”

“I love it!” You smiled, eyes twinkled from happiness.

You both ate dinner, talking about random stuff, you laughed at his jokes and you would see him smile lovingly at you as if memorizing your face.

“Stop it,” you finally said feeling the rush of blood up to your face.

“What?” He asked smiling cutely.

“Stop staring like that, it makes me,” you couldn’t find the right word.

Jungkook chuckled as he stood up, you followed his movements as he extended his hand

You looked at him questionably.

“Can I have this dance?” He asked.

You tittered, “but there’s no music Jungkook.”

“Please?”

You smiled at him as you took his hand letting him usher your palms to his shoulders, you did the initiative of resting your head on his lean chest while he swayed your bodies together, his hands on your waist.

And suddenly he started singing, you felt his voice vibrating on his chest along with the beating of his heart.

Just him singing was more than enough compared to having a recorded music playing on the background.

His sweet, loving voice filled your ears while you close your eyes and smiled as he continued to sing for you. You were enchanted by his beautiful voice, soft yet powerful at the same time, and you thought to yourself that maybe you won’t be able to forget how loving his voice sounds when he sings, especially when it is for you.

The song ended and Jungkook reached for your face cupping it with his warm hands.

“I love you Y/N,” he said, eyes glimmered as he brought your lips together engulfing you into a passionate kiss. The touch of his lips to yours sent shivers down your body and you felt weak and vulnerable, but you didn’t mind at all, because it was Jungkook that you’re with right now, and you know that you can be defenseless around him-- because that is how much you trust him.

Both withdrawn from the kiss, still eyes were fixed with each other’s. You brought your fingers to his face, trailing the beautiful scar on his left cheek.

His eyes, his nose, his lips, his everything was beautiful, and you can’t still grasp the fact that he was yours. But as you continued to look at him, you caught a glimpse of sadness on his eyes-- or maybe it was just the wine taking effect on you.

“Y/N,” he paused briefly before letting out the words on his quivering lips, “marry me.”
