Bittersweet

35: Saranghae

---------------- FLASHBACK --------------

"Oppa, where are you taking me?"
She could hear creaky noises under her feet. Her stomach was churning. Hunger? Fatigue? Or was it just the high altitude? Her nails slightly scratched, Jungkook just chuckled,
"Fiesty? Aren't you Kitten?"
Kiera just giggled a bit. She was safe with him. He would rather die than letting her go.
The cold air hitting her honey skin. Shivers went down her wounds. Her ragged gown wasn't enough to keep her warm. But luckily, Jungkook's arms were. His hands snaked around her thin waist. She was just bones. He placed his head on the crook of her shoulders,
"Kitten, slowly open your eyes and look around at the count of three. One... Two..."
"Three!"
Kiera said as her eyes shot open. Her gasps trapped behind her long bony palms. She threw her arms around Jungkook.
The yellowish stained bedsheet was dazzled with a small candle and an eaten cup of instant ramen. Maybe two bites were left at the very corner of the almost broken cup. The noodles were cold. But again it was romantic. Kiera felt a warmth. Jungkook chuckled and guided her to sit down,
"Here Kitten. Do you like it?"
"Like it, Oppa? I love it!"
She exclaimed, making Jungkook laugh. He pecked her cheeks,
"She was way too hard on you. Wasn't she?"
Kiera shivered. The leather belt. Kim Su-Bong's famous lwather belt. The one which slashed through their skin. She snuggled in Jungkook's arms,
"I don't want to talk about it."
Jungkook, taken aback by her answer, still managed to smile. He understands. But again, he thought she would tell him everything. Maybe she qasn't ready yet. Maybe she wasn't just feeling it yet. Jungkook shook the thoughts out of his head,
"It's okay. You don't have to force yourself. I know it's tough for you. Please don't force yourself. Here, lemme help you relax a bit."
He took her on his lap, his chin on the crook of her neck. His arms around her waist. He whispered,
"Better?"
She just hummed. Kiera felt as if she was in heaven. Jeon Jungkook. Her first love. Her first ever friend. She felt her body give in. Her eyes glued on the shining sphere on the velvet surface. It had a striking resemblance with her lover. Again, it was just a plain round silver mirror, hanging on a pitch black wall. But she could see Jungkook in it.
"Oppa?"
Her voice was low. Jungkook pecked the top of her head. He knew something was going inside her head. He hummed,
"Yes Kitten. Or shall I call you Queen."
"Nah, everyone calls me Queen. I want you to be special."
Jungkook scratched his nape as his tongue poked his cheek. Queen of Hearts... Queen of Hearts... Queen of... Hearts!
"You are my Hearts! Only mine!"
Kiera chuckled,
"Ay Ay Tokki Oppa!"
His brows neatly furrowed together, he squinted his beautiful eyes,
"Tokki Oppa?"
Kiera giggled and sat facing him,
"Yes, Tokki Oppa. You are a cute little rabbit to me."
She mischievously avoided any possible eye contact. Jungkook pulled her in his arms more. Closer to him. He softly said,
"Look into my eyes Kiera."
Kiera's cheeks flushed with a red hue, her dimples poking out she looked in his eyes,
"You know I never back down from anything."
"Tell me, what's going inside your mind?"
"You know, the sky's black and the moon's bright. Same way, I'm the dark and you are a bright shining person. We complete each other just as the moon compliments the night sky. I love you Jeon Jungkook. I love you more than I can ever express. I know you love me as well. So why not take it to a next level."
"I love you my Hearts. My heartbeats only for you. My eyes shine at your sight. When I'm with I feel like I'm in Utopia. YOU are the cause of my euphoria. I've always felt something for you. Even though, today was the first confession. But I think we've been an item since... I don't know... Forever. I think we are on the next level. Cause I love you more than their are stars on the sky. If I had a flower for everytime I think of you, I'd have a garden of my own..."
Jungkook's confession lost it's track as Kiera pressed her lips on his. Her hands scrunched up Jungkook's collar and deepemed the kiss. His hands wrapped themselves around her waist as his lips moved according to her rhythm.
She smirked in between the kiss. Jeon Jungkook was under her. She was overpowering him. She was controlling Jungkook's lips. Jungkook felt a hidden pleasure. His Queen was on top of him. She made a move on him.
Their tongue touched each other and left no corner of the mouth unexplored. After a good amount of time, the two teenagers let go. Kiera mysteriously smirked,
"Happy with my answer Tokki Oppa?"
"Aish! Stop calling me Tokki!"
"You're a good kisser Oppa."
She said teasingly. Jungkook looked her in the eyes and leaned in for another kiss. They kissed again.
Kiera felt butterflies in her stomach. For the girst time she felt a warmth in her heart. Her little heart was bouncing up and down. It was all for Jungkook. Her Ace Oppa. Her Tokki Oppa.
Jungkook broke the kiss and cupped her face in his hands,
"You don't know what you mean to me. You are my heartbeat. You are reason for which I'm breathing. You are my melody, you are my lyrics. Without you I'm nothing. I can't live one second without you. I want to bubble wrap you and protect you from everything. Everyone. One day we'd be seen as nothing but monsters. We would be criminals. Just remember, I would always be with you. A wanted criminal with another. A perfect pair. Don't you think?"
Jungkook wriggled his eyebrows. Kiera laughed and smacked his chest lightly,
"Babo Bunny."
"Ay! Saranghae!"

---------End Of Flashback-----------

Tears glided down her cheeks. Jungkook. What was she even doing? She and Taehyung... They were a thing? How?
"Sorry."
She muttered to herself as her palms aggresively rubbed away the tears.
