now playing paper rings - taylor swift
"if i pay you, would you please go away, and let me work?"
"jungkook!" yerim couldn't help but to whine at his sentence. "that was mean!" she then mumbles to herself, but loud enough for him to hear.
"alright, i'll let you work. go on and work, don't mind me." feeling all sulky, yerim decided to walk away with the cutest pout on her face. she ain't exactly sulking right now, but she's just sad that jungkook is not paying attention to her, especially now when she is actually, really, is craving for his attention.
she just wants a cuddle, okay?
jungkook couldn't help but to feel bad. but can you blame him? that crazy calculus lecturer of his suddenly gave a 30-page worksheet that needs to be completed within twelve hours. not to mention that he still have to deal with his paperworks for the dance club and what not. ugh.
jungkook and yerim have been each other's sweetheart since high school, where jungkook confessed to her on their graduation day with a huge bouquet of lavenders. yerim enthusiastically nods at his confession, and said yes on repeat, mentioning that she have always had a crush on him. honestly, it was like a dream come true for jungkook when yerim actually accepted his confession. jungkook is never good with girls, but yerim is his girl, thank god for that.
now it's been almost five years since they started dating, both are currently at their last stage of college, so the hectic schedule could be overwhelming most of the times. thankfully, jungkook and yerim had the best communication skills when it comes to their relationship. they would always notify each other when it comes to their feelings. jungkook thought it was impossible for him to ask for a better relationship, yerim is the perfect fit for him, really.
and now, that cute little pout on yerim is totally bothering his mind. he couldn't concentrate on the worksheet at all.
sigh. "yerim!" his legs unknowingly chased after her, something that he always does unconsciously.
yerim is the death of him, really.

"shit, shit, shit."
jungkook freaked out when the clock strikes quarter to eight in the morning. he just woke up and now he have 15 minutes left to complete his now left 12-page calculus worksheet.
he scrambles out from the bed, ignoring the sweet smell of pancakes lingering in the house, as he frantically reached out for his worksheets.
"i'm gonna die— eh?"
jungkook blinked in surprise when he saw all his worksheets are filled with neat answers. he pinched his cheeks once to make sure he wasn't dreaming, and then checked the worksheet again.
when? how?
a sense of surprise stricken his mind when he realized there is only another person who is actually living with him in this small studio apartment. rushing out of his bedroom, his face lits up when he saw the love of his life clumsily putting on strawberries on her freshly-made pancakes.
"yerim!"
the petite girl looks up, and greeted the elder guy with a smile. "jungkook."
jungkook couldn't help but notice the eyebags under her large, sparkling eyes— further confirming his suspicion.
"did you—"
"— ah, your worksheets? yes, i completed them for you last night."
bursting into a very huge smile on his face, jungkook sprinted towards yerim before scooping her into a huge bear hug, twirling her around. yerim squeals in surprise. "— jungkook!"
feeling that he is still not showering her with enough affections, he squeezed her cheeks before planting several playful kisses all across her face. "ah! jungkook!" yerim tries to squirm out of his hold, but man—jungkook's strength is on another level. she didn't even manage to budge him.
once he's had enough, he happily put her down back to her own feet, still can't seem to erase that stupid grin lingering on his lips. "yerim, you're the best."
"i know." yerim sassed before flipping her hair as she made her way back towards her freshly-made pancakes. "come on and have breakfast! you can send those worksheet after this."
"alright, queen."
jungkook being hungry is an understatement. yerim couldn't help but to watch him gobble up those pancakes, and it looks like as if he's about to swallow the plate as well. she laughs at his eating manner before grabbing a tissue, as she gently wipes the corner of his lips. "you're such a baby."
"i'm older than you."
"no correlation. you're still a baby." yerim's determined eyes meant that there is no more room for arguments, so jungkook just nodded at her statement. "okay, i'm a baby."
"good."
such an unusual couple, aren't they?

packing up his worksheets, jungkook's eyes fall on a stack of white papers sitting neatly at the corner of his desk. with a smile on his face, he grabs a piece of paper before skillfully folding it into a specific shape, and he did all that with yerim's smile in his brain accompanying him.
on his way out, he managed to grab yerim's hand, making the petite girl to divert her attention to him. "what's up?"
without saying anything, jungkook's cute bunny smile grows wider as he gently lifts up yerim's right hand, earning a curious stare from the younger girl. he then slips his handmade paper ring onto her ring finger, as he twirls it around.
"once i have a stable career and some more money, i promise i'd replace this with a diamond ring."
yerim melted at his sweet words, as she can't help but to tear up. "you know... i like diamond rings."
"but i don't mind marrying you with this paper ring, not at all."
