Racing from Love I I JJK FF

42. His Confession

—Time Skip

Jungkook's POV

My heart clenched remembering her words.

'I hate you, Jungkook.'

I remembered that hurt in those eyes. I am happy at one thing that she trusts me. She knows that I will never hurt her.

"I wished I could tell you what I'm planning. But I can't let you know. It will only put your life in danger."

I rested my head on the chair and closed my eyes.

—Flashback

"Jimin Hyung, are you okay?!" I made him sit on the chair as he was panting heavily. "Jungkook." He said gasping for air.

He took a deep breath and stood up.

"Jong Dae is Japan's wanted Mafia's son." I looked up at him and frowned.

"So, that's the reason he was able to return to Korea." He nodded his head.

"Jungkook, he isn't a safe man. The spies who got me the information are all dead." I scoffed at his words.

"That lowlife murderer. I'm not letting this slip away." I spoke placing my hands on my hips. He grabbed my shoulders and made me face. "It's dangerous. He's after my life now. He will kill every single person who will come to know about his truth."

"What?! He's after your life?!" I clenched my jaw. I slammed my fist on the desk. "He will pay." I said almost shouting.

"Whatever you do, just remember. You have Y/n." My mind filled with her thoughts. No matter what I'm gonna protect her at any cost.

"Don't worry Hyung, now it's my turn to make a move. I will destroy him without harming anyone else."

—Present

"Just wait, Y/n. I will make everything right today." My phone buzzed, I picked up the call.

"How do you manage to live with her all day?! She speaks so much." I chuckled at the word of the person on the other side. But why is he always so annoyed with her.

"Jokes apart, Tae Hyung. Tell me what happened." I asked getting straight to the point.

"She trusts you a lot. She wants to know the truth. She was crying. I calmed her down. And as you told, I kept her busy. Now, I have sent her with my driver to the place you want."

I sighed. "I feel so bad to make her cry." I heard him clicking his tongue.

"And I feel so bad for myself."

"Shut up, Hyung."

"Whatever. I wasted lot of time. Bye." He retorted and hanged up.

—Y/n's POV

I was drowned into my thoughts, which came to halt when the car stopped with a screeching sound. I got off it without taking a glance at my surroundings.
Suddenly my eyes blinded by bright lights. It was then when I realized that I was standing in fromt of a hotel. My eyes widened seeing the building. It was so huge. I squinted my eyebrows and turned towards the driver.

"Why are we here?!" I asked politely.

"Sir asked me to drop you here. I'll get going now." Before I could process anything, he left. Wow. I was standing alone in an isolated place with nothing but a hotel in front of me. Just great. I decided to go inside the hotel. Well do I have a choice?

To my surprise, it was absolutely empty inside. No people, nothing.

"What is this?!" I looked all around the building. I turned around and saw a screen.

"Y/n, you need to come to the terrace."

I was shocked to see my name on the screen. This is scaring me. Are there any ghosts calling for me?! I never even killed a mosquito.

I was still curious, so I took the lift and went on the terrace. The hotel was of 70 floors. Unbelievable. I wonder if it's real or paranormal.

With so many thoughts I stepped out of the elevator. It was all so dark. I was scared. What if, the next second some zombie appears and-

My thoughts were interrupted when the lights were switched on.

"Ahhhhh!" I shouted as from nowhere Jungkook was standing in front of me with his bunny smile. I placed my hand on my chest gasping for air.

"YOU SCARED ME."

I shouted hitting his chest. He giggled. But wait... What is he doing here?!

"What's going on?!"

Instead of answering, he brought a heart shaped balloon in front of his face. He slowly left it. As the balloon flew in air, I looked up. And the whole sky was filled with sky lanterns. My mouth widened at the beautiful sight.

"Incredible." I admired the view with my mouth open. I turned towards Jungkook who was already staring at me. Unconsciously my lips curved up but I wiped off that smile almost instantly.

"I ain't buying that until you tell me about you and Jong-"

He came closer and took my hands. Just him holding my hand so delicately made me feel special. What am I supposed to do if he acts this way. Adrenaline rushes thorough my cheeks.

"I know you trust me. I want to answer all your questions but not now. Just know that whatever I'm doing it's for your own good. I promise, once it's over, I myself will tell you everything."

His words were convincing, I can't deny it. I looked up at him and smiled. He's right after all.

"You never fail to show your dominant side. Fine, I'll let it slip away for now." He gave me his bunny smile and deep inside my heart I was too happy for the fact that nothing ruined because of my mouth. I agree my words were harsh.

"Now turn around and look up." I frowned but decided to follow what he said.. After a crack sound, I saw something being written in the Sky.

"I love you, Y/n 💞"

I stood there dumbfoundedly staring at those words. I felt two arms around my waist. Jungkook placed his chin on my shoulder. His hot breath hit my neck sending shivers down my spine. He gave me feather kisses all over my neck.

"I love you, y/n." He turned me around and said while staring deep into my eyes. I was shocked although I knew he did. I had mixed emotions. I didn't know what to reply with. It's confusing, yet joyful. Never thought, he would love me. Never thought the person who used to annoy me to the core will once start loving me so dearly.

He leaned in and placed his lips on mine. My heart was thumping wildly.
He moved his lips but I was too shocked to kiss him back. He instantly pulled away.

"Y/n, you never used me. Neither you treated me like an option. No need to feel like you did something wrong. You thought of yourself. And being selfish for yourself is good. I am always ready to accept you the way you are. Don't think too much." He spoke calmly caressing my cheeks. "Still, I'll give you time to think. To sort out your feelings. I waited for so many years." He paused for a while. "waiting for a little more time wouldn't be a lot."

He knows about me well. His every word was deep enough. I deserved the best. And he is the best for me. But I still don't know clearly if I really love him. He's right. I can take time.

I smiled and nodded.

"I really love you as a human being. Can there be a living creature better than you?!" He sighed. I'm definitely not good with words.

"I am waiting for the day when you will finally start loving me as a man. As a person who'll stay beside you holding your hand."
He gave me an assuring smile.
