Racing from Love I I JJK FF

8. Friends?! 🤷‍♀

"Focus, Y/n, Focus!!!"

I said to myself.

"Focus. Y/n, focus"

Fuck. Did he just read my mind? Oh no, or did he catch me literally eye fucking him? I looked at him with wide eyes, but his gaze was fixed at the laptop.
Seriously.... How can he match my words most of the time?

"Uh.... Y-yes."

I started to work on the laptop, but my mind was tossing over him. I can't get him out of my mind. For the time being I even forgot the pain in my palm.

I shrugged it off. After a few minutes of time he shut down his laptop stretching his arms. He looked tired.

As soon as he made an eye contact, I quickly broke it. But then I felt heavy footsteps walking towards me. Strangely, my heart beats were increasing. I felt him settling himself on the couch beside me.  He was way too close. And I was way too uncomfortable.

I shifted a little far from him. With corner of my eye, I saw him reading the presentation I prepared. I wish he don't find any mistakes. After a big silence he broke the ice.

"Hm.... I didn't expect you to do such a great work. You're doing well. Good job."

Ddaeng. I can't believe my ears.

"What?"

I looked at him with delighted expressions. Did I hear it right?

"You heard it." He spoke with stoic expressions. "Can you please just repeat?" he just praised me. Oh God, I need to listen it again.
"I expect you to do better next time."

He said coldly. Tsk, What was I even expecting from him?
Suddenly he stood up making me look at him with confused looks.

"C'mon, let's go to eat." What? Lunch with him? "Huh?" I stared at him blankly.

"I don't like to eat alone, so I am asking you to accompany me. Would you please like to give me your precious time and have my presence near you?"

He said sarcastically. Seriously..... How can he always talk like that.
I shook my head.
"Oh, no, no, no. Who am I to disagree your request?! And how is my time precious in comparison to yours. Let's go."

I stood up to walk but was stopped by him.

"Tell someone to bring it in here." Noted. "Oh, okay."

I told one of my colleague to bring the food inside his office.

We both sat on the couch maintaining a safe distance between both of us.
We started to eat the food but then it was the time I realized I can't eat with my right injured hand.

I tried to hold the chopsticks but couldn't. I noticed Jungkook staring at me.

Heck. It would have been so easy if I would have eaten with one of my friends. Or better yeonjun, he would have fed me.
And when the hell is Dahyun returning from her holidays.
After several attempts I heard Jungkook sighing.

With the corner of my eye, I looked at him.
Suddenly he came closer to me and took the chopsticks.

And the next he did, I feel like shouting my lungs out. He fed me with his own hands.

First he blew some air on the hot food and then looked at me, who was staring at him with wide eyes.

"Open your mouth."

I blinked my eyes a few times and opened my mouth. He pushed the food inside my mouth and I was frozen at my place. I chewed the food slowly.

"I don't know why would you go around fighting with the goons. That too when they have a knife."

I didn't have any words to speak while he kept feeding me.

"Next time be more careful. You don't need to get involve in any fights to save a person. Okay?"

I nodded my head nervously. Is he really caring about me? Why?

"And you know how much a loss it is if you get an injury. In that case you will have to take a leave and now you have more responsibilities as you are my secretary. Don't get hurt."

Yes. This is more like Jungkook. And I thought he was actually concerned about me. Foolish girl.

He fed me the last bite and food was finished but next he leaned closer to me. I gasped looking at him.
But then I realized he was just wiping the food at the corner of my lips with the tissue. But that also stopped my heart. I am losing myself.

What Yeh heck is he doing?

"Now, let's get back to work"

I quickly stood up as he said that. "I will go to my office."
Before he could reply I gave him a bow and quickly ran out of his office.
I breathed out heavily as I realized I literally stopped breathing.

"Ahhh.... Why am I like this? Control Y/n. Why are you getting so hyped up?"

I went straight to my office and continued with further work.

—Time Skip

—Jungkook's POV

After a tired working day I drove to my house.

When I reached my house I saw an unfamiliar car parked in front of my house. Maybe some guests.

I entered the living room where my parents were sitting with one more couple like them. I went to face them.

"Jungkook?"

"Teacher Lee?" we both said at the same time.

"Oh. You both know each other?"

My mother asked out of confusion.

"Mom, you know the teacher I used to talk about who taught me in America. It's Teacher Lee. But how do you know her." I explained to my mother. She chuckled looking at her.

"We are childhood best friends. Today your dad and I went to the mall. There I met her. So I invited her to my house." She looked at me and smiled.

"I didn't know Jungkook was your son. He's just like you. Intelligent and smart."

Teacher Lee complimented me like always.
We all sat and had dinner together with some random talks.

"Now it's getting late. We should-"

A phone call interrupted her. She picked up the call.

"Mom where are you?"

"Y/n-ahh. I am at a friend's house." She answered in a low voice.

"Ahhh. Mom I am sleepy. Did you carry a spare key, So I can sleep?"

She clicked her tongue before replying.
"Yes, you go and sleep peacefully. Have you eaten?"

"Yeah, Good night Mom."

"Good night" She hanged up the call.

"Jungkook, By any chance is this Y/n the same girl who came to our house the other day." My mom asked looking at me.

"Yes, Mom" Teacher Lee looked at her with a frown.
"You know Y/n? She came here?" My mom giggled.

"Yes. Look how destiny joined our ways."

"Yes. And thank-you Jungkook."

I gave her a slight bow as she bid good bye and left.

Yeah, I also wonder how destiny joined our ways......

A small smile crept on my lips.
