The Epiphany // (Jungkook x Reader)✅

"Let's date"

Jungkook had been restless since last night. He was still unable to believe what Jimin had told him earlier.

Y/n is here? In Seoul?

Even while recording a song in the studio, the only thing on his mind was you. He wanted to see you as soon as possible. And finally, after going back and forth on the decision, he decided to visit you.

Present time

"Hi, y/n." He said softly.

"Hi Jungkook.", You somehow managed to say, and immediately stood up coming face to face with him, and shook his hand.

It felt like the whole world stopped.
All went black and white, and Jungkook was the only color you could see.
Your heart was ready to burst out of your chest. Oh! How much you wanted to hug him then and there.

At the same time, Jungkook was standing there in a daze. He looked at you, taking it all in.
You looked so different in your white shirt, with gray fitted trousers. A little taller too, in your black heels. He wanted everyone to vanish at that moment, so that he could just look at you.

"What are you doing here, Kook?",Jimin's voice interrupted your thoughts.

"We were supposed to meet for lunch, remember?", Jungkook calmly said.

A baffled look on Jimin's face, "We were?"

Jungkook quietly eyed him, and motioned towards you, trying to make his best friend understand the situation.

"Oh yeah! We did. Sorry it slipped from my mind.", Jimin was quick to catch up.

"No worries. So, should we get going? Y/n, why don't you join us?", Jungkook asked coolly.

"Uhh.. yeah sure..", you stammered, still not over the fact that this is actually happening.

At the restaurant, you and Jungkook talked about how life's been since the trip and how you ended up in Seoul.

Jimin was observing you both. How you both were exchanging smiles and looks. He was aware of Jungkook's attraction towards you, but now he could see that you also felt the same.

"Why don't we meet over drinks this Saturday?", Jimin suggested, "It would be so much fun. Now that we are all together again, it would be like Iceland."

"Yeah of course, we should meet.", Jungkook quickly agreed, with a broad smile.

"I am also in.", You smiled.

Exchanging your contact details for the when and where, you all left the restaurant to go back to work.

Remaining days of the week were uneventful and Saturday was quick to arrive.

When you reached the bar in your emerald green cocktail dress, Jungkook's eyes went wide.
Jimin came forward and gave you a hug. You simply smiled at the two.

Jimin had booked a private and secluded table, so that Jungkook could also be comfortable.

Throughout the night, your gaze was moving back and forth to Jungkook, who was wearing a white tee with a denim blue jacket. Everytime you looked in his direction, he was looking at you. And everytime you looked away, blushing hard.

Drinks were ordered with food. The table was filled with laughter. You all talked about the trip, how you wanted to go back to the place, about your lives, about Jungkook winning the Grand Music Award.

"Well, I didn't celebrate as such. Me and Jimin just met over drinks.", Jungkook said in tiny.

"So consider this as the celebration of your win.", You clinked the tip of your beer bottle with his glass of whiskey.

Alcohol had slightly kicked in, and you stood up to give a toast.

"To the youngest recipient of the Grand Music Award, to the most talented artist out there and my favorite, Jeon Jungkook.", You raised your bottle in the air.

Jimin clapped and encouraged you. Jungkook was just sitting there smiling like an idiot, while resting his face on his palm and eyes fixed on you.

After the dinner, it was pretty late and Jungkook offered to walk you home. You tried to refuse but Jimin also pushed you to go for it.

Your father's house was hardly a 20 minutes walk from there. With a cool breeze blowing, you were walking a little closer to Jungkook.

"Can you walk? Should we get a cab?", He worriedly asked.

"Of Course... I am fine... just a little tipsy.... You might not know, but my alcohol tolerance is pretty good.", You proudly smiled.

Feeling relieved, he smiled at you.

You wrapped your arms around your body because of the cold breeze.

"Do you need my jacket?", he offered.

"Why? Don't boys feel cold?", you teased.

He laughed. "Not into cliches, I see."

He, then, took your hand in his, and put it in his jacket's pocket. Still not letting go.
"This should keep you warm."

Your cheeks went red. Was it his touch? Was it the alcohol? You didn't know. But you loved the feeling.

Reaching at your doorstep, you looked up at Jungkook and realized that you both were still holding hands.

"Thanks for walking me home.", you smiled, not wanting to let go.

"Let's date", he said, not breaking eye contact.
