Finding Love In Paradise || Vkook

Chapter 19

JUNGKOOK'S POV

"I think I like you Jungkook."

My eyes widened. Did he just confess? Is this real?

He chuckled at my reaction and grabbed my hand. I was beyond shocked. Just when I thought I couldn't be more surprised, he looked at me and winked.

"So stay by my side, got it?" He continued.

My knees felt like jelly and my heart fluttered. It reminded me of the time we went to Sea Life Park. Is my Taehyung coming back?

We exited the elevator and left the hotel. No one knew who we were but we did receive a lot of awkward stares from people.

I felt nervous and scared. I feel uncomfortable when people look at me like I'm a weirdo, but I wasn't ashamed. If anything, I'm glad that I'm walking with the man I love.

Taehyung seemed to notice my nervousness. He gave my hand a quick squeeze, getting my attention.

"Kookie, are you okay?" He asked worriedly. "We can walk without holding hands."

I shook my head. "N-no. I'm fine." Curse my stuttering.

He laughed and released my hand, but I quickly grabbed it again.

"I said I'm fine hyung." I protested,

"Kookie. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable."

He released my hand again and wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

"Is this okay?" He asked.

I looked around and no one seemed to care. I nodded, sighing in relief.

"Taetae. It's not that I'm ashamed..."

"There's no need to explain Jungkook. I want this day to be enjoyable." He smiled down at me and I looked away to hide my blushing face.

We met a Korean couple who insisted that we have lunch at Duke's Restaurant. They gave us directions and we successfully found it.

When we arrived, the lady led us to our table with a view of the ocean. The menus were in different languages, including Korean. After ordering our meals, she gave us our drinks.

I looked out towards the ocean. "Wow. Isn't it beautiful?" I said, staring in awe.

"Yes you are."

My heart skipped a beat. I looked down and played with the napkin on my lap.

"Hyung, I was talking about the view."

"But you are the view."

Although I wasn't looking directly at him, I could see him smirking at me.

"Ya!" I yelled loud enough for only him to hear me. "Why are you acting this way?"

He raised an eyebrow. "Why? You don't like it."

"I don't." I glared.

He laughed, leaning back into his chair. "I'm just playing with you Kookie."

I pouted, earning a small chuckle from my hyung.

"For someone who doesn't like it, you sure seem disappointed." He teased.

I rolled my eyes. Our waitress came back with our food. It was surprisingly fast.

I started to chow down my food. Taehyung watched me, ignoring his meal in front of him.
