After the Storm

02: Two peas in a pod

Dahyun woke up with a start. Her head is spinning because of suddenly waking up.  yet her body feels so comfortable lying in the soft bed with a very big cuddly pillow. With eyes still close she snuggled closer to her pillow.

But why is the smell a bit different. It smells like cedarwood and a spicy masculine scent. Her room smells like baby powder with a hint of chamomile and magnolia, nothing like the scent she's smelling right know. It kind of reminded her of Jungkook, yes, this smells like Jungkook's manly scent.

She slowly opened her eyes and is shocked to see her face so close to Jungkook's. She can clearly see his long eyelashes, his sharp nose and even the morning stubbles adorning his gorgeous face. Her bestfriend is really handsome. She stared a bit more. Memorizing the planes and tones of Jungkook's face. No wonder every women fall for him. He seems like a greek god who fell out of Olympus to bless mere mortals of his otherwordly beauty. She softly touch his face. It's not impossible to fall in love with her bestfriend. If and only if she will be held captive amd in love with a man, she hopes it's with her bestfriend. She gulped and shake her head with her wayward thoughts.

She slowly lifted her arms which had been cuddling Jungkook's torso, afraid of waking him up. She's shock to notice that even her legs are intertwined with his. One would think they are lovers with the way they slept together.

Jungkook is sleeping peacefully that she slowly freed herself from him not wanting to wake his deep slumber. They do not have any classes today that is why it's a good day to just doze off and lie down in bed.

She is a lightweight but one thing that's good is that she never had a hangover. It's like sleep really charges her and gets rid of that nasty alcohol in her system. She hopped out of the bed and decided to make some breakfast, but first, she thinks she needs to shower first. Yesterday's stink had its toil on her clothes.

She rummaged Jungkook's closet and help herself for some oversized T-shirt and boxers. She knows him enough to know that he won't mind her borrowing some clothes.
Her apartment is just across his. They are neighbors but she's too lazy to go back to her apartment yet. And she owes Jungkook some breakfast for all he did yesterday. Honestly, with the state of mind she has, she knows she won't be able to come home without Jungkook's help.

One disadvantage of an over-achiever with an equally prideful personality to boost is that she does not want losing nor getting embarrased in front of so many people. One negative critique about her and she will be offended easily. The exact opposite of Jungkook who takes criticism lightly. She often claims she's one independent woman yet she always want Jungkook by her side. They are two peas in a pod, they are inseperable and that will never change even if they age. 

If Jungkook is too ashamed of reprimanding the waiter for giving him a different order, then she will unabashedly call out that waiter for such mistake. Jungkook on the otherhand is the one to tame her rather stubborn personality. Her sharp tongue always causes trouble and yet Jungkook's friendly disposition always eases the impending tension. Jungkook is the yang to her yin and vice versa.

Many of their friends are shocked that their personality blend so well. With how opposite they are, their friends expected constant bickering and petty fight but opposites do really attract.

She went to the bathroom and took a shower. She feels so stinky considering she failed to have a shower before going to bed last night.

Humming to the tune of her favorite girl group's latest release, she had her private concert in the shower. Dancing with the beat of Alcohol-free, that shower boost her mood.

She feels so fresh. With a towel still on her head, she went straight to Jungkook's kitchen amd prepared some pancakes. Potato pancakes to be exact, the one thing she's capable of making.

After mashing the potato and combining it with the pancake mix, she readied the pan. She's not exactly the best chef in town but her potato pancakes are to die for. It's actually one of Jungkook's favorite.

Humming again and doing her little dance, she fried the pancakes when a hand went to hold her waist. Still sleepy, Jungkook embrace her, his head leaning on the crook of her neck.

"You smell so good," he murmured.

Yes, I rummaged your closet and took the liberty of showering and changing my clothes. You dont mind right?

"Nope, not at all," he answered while still sniffing my neck.

Hey, stop sniffing me. It's ticklish.

He chuckled and went to sit on the chair while his drowsy eyes are observing me.

How come you never, like ever had any hangover?

I laugh out loud by his question. I myself don't really know. Its just that after a deep sleep, my system goes back to normal the moment I wake up, that is even when Im flat out drunk the other night.

That's because I have powers you know, I jokingly answered him.

Right after preparing the table, we heard his door clicking and his mom appeared, holding a basket of fruit on one hand.

We really are not that surprised. Mrs. Jeon never failed to visit her only child during the weekends. Same with my mom who visits me every Mondays. My mom's weird, she often tells me that she visits every Mondays as a good luck charm for me to be able to start the week right.

Mrs. Jeon, tho, is the one surprised seeing me in her son's apartment wearing her sons clothes.

"JK, you better prepare a grand wedding for you and Dahyun. I want my grandson or granddaughter to have a legal family, she shouted to Jungkook, getting advance with her assumptions.

"Mom, its not what you think," Jungkook answered blushing, even his ears are red.

I went to tease him further. I fake cried and approach Aunt Ji-eun.

"Auntie, Jungkook seem not to want a marriage with me. He should be responsible after all the things he did to me," I stated while hugging Jungkook's mom.

Aunt Ji-eun stiffend. Glaring Jungkook with her blazing eyes. She rubbed my back comforting me.
"Oh my poor little meow meow, do not fret, I will castrate Jungkook if he fails to take responsibility," aunt Ji-eun remark.

I giggled. Aunt Ji-eun really dotes me more than her own son.

"Auntie, chill. Please do not castrate Jungkook. Im just kidding. Nothing happened, you son is a gentleman that is why I trust him with all my heart.

I know. Jk's a little coward like that and Im also joking. But a wedding between the two of you would not really be that bad. Auntie said giggling and not failing to matchmake me and Jungkook.

Her and mom had been playing cupid and making love schemes just so me and Jungkook end up together.

I stared at Jungkook who is still blushing. He really is cute. Perhaps, our mothers matchmaking schemes are rubbing on me because If I ever fall in love, I want it to be with him.
