Lust | JJK ✔️

12- Jeon, do you love me

"You didn't have to- you remembered- I mean.." you stutter as he pulls you towards the bed by your wrist, making you sit down on the soft mattress. He takes out a cotton blob from the bag and a cloth strip, slowly wiping the blood that was leaking.

"I need to wet this.." he says looking around to find a source of water.

"It's okay-"

"Where's the bathroom?" He ignores your words and looks straight at you, you couldn't utter anything but the answer to his question.

"There.." you point your finger towards the room you had just exited and he walks towards the place with the cotton in his hands.

You were taken aback at his quick reaction to something he didn't even learn about properly yet, adding the fact he was the only one who came to ask you if you were okay out of everyone.

Soon he walks back to you, a bowl of water in his hand. He dips the cotton ball into the liquid and cleans your blood, holding your arm gently but firmly.

"Jungkook you don't have to-"

He shuts you up with a finger on your soft lip, his piercing gaze burning your eyes.

"I'm doing this because I want to, because I care for you, because I-" he cuts himself off, closing his mouth before he could complete his sentence.

"Because you?" You mumble under his finger, he hides a smile.

"Nothing." He says and takes his finger back before wiping his own lips with the same finger. I see what you did there.

His action cuts you silent, you couldn't speak after this. You simply sit there and watch him clean the dripped blood off your arm, his eyes focused and careful.

"So, Yn, tell me more about your story, I guess this is the right time." He suddenly asks you to reveal more about you but you give it a second thought. Should you?

You decide that going deep into the past could be avoided for now, he hasn't even confessed to you yet and you guys aren't official. It will obviously take time, the situation was a catch 22 afterall. You couldn't send him back without completely jeopardising your relationship, neither could you reveal such a sensitive and secretive thing so soon; so since he was waiting here you could test his purity a bit more, although you knew you were already in a situation where you'd leave everyone for him.

"I'll tell you why I couldn't trust anyone to love till now." You say and adjust your posture. "Please keep it a secret." You say.

"You don't have to remind me that, sweetheart." He smiles.

"So the story goes like this." You say as you watch him change the used cotton ball with a new one.

"You see all these magical possessions, expensive materials which are so rare and found in deep corners of the world, a talking lion cub with powers, a flying carpet, maids and soldiers who turn into small beads and vice versa on command, and much more you haven't seen till now, all is a gift."

"A gift? From whom?"

"It's a gift from a man, a man who we met years ago, a man whom I've not seen in years now. It's a long story, a lot of mystery is yet to be revealed, and I'll slowly tell you all of it." You say.

"But for now, this palace as a whole, is all his. But all my powers vanish the day I fall in love, and the person doesn't love me back. I'll lose Aban, Hamza-" you close your mouth.

You couldn't speak more.

"I got it." Jungkook immediately comforts you. "You don't have to speak it all out. I understand some part of it, you didn't trust anyone because you were scared you'd lose your powers right?"

"There's more to it, but, that's all I can tell you for now, I'm, I'm sorry-" A single teardrop falls from your eye.

"It's okay." Jungkook lifts your chin and caresses your cheek. "Let's not think about it and focus on what we were doing before, okay?"

You nod before he wipes your tear.

"Don't speak about any traumatic past event unless you want to open up about it yourself, okay? I'm sorry for reminding you about it." He places a kiss on your forehead.

He shifts his focus back to the first aid he was giving you, slowly squeezing the water out of the cotton and spreading it over your skin.

"So.." he says.

"For treating the rest of your wound we need to remove your blouse." Your eyes shoot open wide, wider than dinner plates.

"Turn around." He smiles, rubbing his nose tip with his thumb.

"Do we have to-"

"I won't look, promise." He says.

"Okay..?" You slowly untie your top, letting some of it fall down your shoulders as you hold together the rest, enough for exposing all of the cut but not enough for Jungkook to see.

He sighs.

"Come one Yn." A hint of disappointment in his voice reflects but he still wipes any remaining blood off before opening the cloth strip.

"What? You want me naked?" You say.

"Is that a question." He mumbles and you slap his bicep playfully. He giggles before spreading the bandage across your arm and rolling it around.

"Why would you not want to remove all of it?" He asks clicking his tongue.

"Um we aren't even official yet." You manage to mutter but shut your mouth right after.

"So you want us to get official? Wait." He says before finally tying the bandage and slipping your blouse back on, tying it up. Your eyes widen yet more, as you watch him throw the first aid materials aside and he holds your arm to make you stand up, before lacing his fingers with yours.

"Come." He pulls you out into the verandah and into the staircase, you hadn't realised how dark it already had gotten. The moon was up shining brightly and there was pin drop silence, almost everyone was ready to sleep now. You hope no one sees.

"You told me to meet you here yourself yesterday, so I'm just.." he says, and the thought you had forgotten strikes you.

He tugs you by the waist and pulls you close, you giggle.

"Hi, Yn. Say what you called me for." He bends his head to join his forehead with yours.

Should you?

Should you should you should you?

"Jeon, do you love me?"

You don't care about Aban for fuck's sake, you want him.
