Narrator's POV
"Am I annoying?" As those words hit Jongkook's ears, he was in disbelief as to why she would question that.
He cupped her face, forcing her to look at him in the eye. Her eyes were red-rimmed, glassy with tears. His heart clenched and he was angry at whoever or whatever made her react like this.
"Somin..." He softly whispered, wiping off the tears that were rolling down her cheeks. He pulled her towards the car and forced her to seat down on the passenger seat.
He ran a hand through her hair as he stood infront of her, making her look up slightly to meet his eyes. "Why would you ask me that? Who did this to you?" Jongkook sternly asked.
Somin thinned her lips and looked away, shaking her head. "It's okay. Forget about it," She softly said and turned to seat properly, facing the front windscreen. Jongkook sighed at her sudden change and closed the door.
He went to the driver's seat. Silence filled the air while Somin was fiddling with the food. "You expect me to forget about it when I see you suddenly cry, walking back here? I'm not falling for that, Somin," He stated.
"I said, forget about it," She urged, looking out of the window. She felt pathetic now that she reminisced the scene. She didn't even felt the tears until Jongkook asked why she was crying.
"No. I'm not moving on from this until you tell me," Jongkook demanded, taking the food away from her and placed it on the backseat. Somin glared at him as he daringly stared back.
A few seconds flew by as they held each other's eyes. Somin thought he'd back down any second but he was there, facing her with a serious expression.
She finally looked away in defeat and leaned back on her seat with a long sigh. "I overheard someone talking about me," She paused, feeling a lump in her throat again.
She cleared her throat. "It was something negative so I...I let it get to me. I know I shouldn't have," Somin realised so she quickly added.
She looked at Jongkook's expression and saw his eyes soften. She gave him a smile and awkwardly laugh. "I know it's stupid. You've been in this industry way longer than me and you're probably thinking about how weak I am."
Somin was about to humorlessly laugh one more time until Jongkook clasped a hand on hers, squeezing it before relaxing. "I don't think you're stupid. Not even abit. You think I don't know what you feel? I've been called alot of names too," He sympathised.
Somin just nodded and flipped her hand to interlock their fingers. Both of them exchanged smiles. "Talk to me if you ever feel like this again, okay? I mean if you don't, I'd probably feel like a useless boyfriend," Jongkook blurted out casually with a chuckle.
Somin held her breath. "Boyfriend?" She whispered. Jongkook's eyes widened slightly. His adam's apple bobbed up and down. He pulled away from her fingers and rubbed his face to hide his blush.
"I mean, uh...shit," He tried to explain but stuttered. Somin laughed at his awkwardness. "So, you've figured your feelings out?" She teased and leaned forward to pat his shoulder.
Jongkook laughed out of embarrassment. "I guess I did," He confessed. "How cute of you, Jongkook-ssi," She joked once again with a wide smile. "Jongkook-ssi?" Jongkook repeated.
The moment was suddenly interrupted by Somin's stomach grumbling. Her face turned beet red quickly, placing both of her hands on her stomach. Jongkook let out a laughter while Somin squirmed in her seat.
"How cute of you, Somin-ssi," He threw her comment back at her. She hit him as a response. Jongkook grinned at her shyness and ruffled her hair. "Oppa!" She complained in annoyance.
"Now, do you want to eat in your car or go somewhere to sit and eat there?" Jongkook asked. Somin thought and just let out a sigh. "I'm too hungry to care. We can just eat in my car," She replied and reached out to grab the food.
Jongkook just shrugged and went along with it. "What did you order for me?" He asked. "I bought myself spicy tteokbokki and some sides to eat it with. For you, I bought udon noodles and pork cutlet."
Jongkook hummed in satisfaction. She handed the food to him. Both of them started to eat and shared their meals with one another. Somin gave a thumbs-up as a response to her cravings and Jongkook just sweetly smiled at her reaction.
"Not this again," Jongkook suddenly said after they finished their food. "What?" Her face filled with confusion. He shooked his head and reached forward to wipe the sauce of tteokbokki on the side of her lips.
She held back a smile. When she saw Jongkook suddenly licking the sauce off his finger, she automatically blushed. "Oppa, w..what are you doing?" She was surprised at his action.
"What?" He pretended to be oblivious to her question and smugly grinned. "You're crazy," She said, looking away from him as she fanned herself. He only laughed. "You're already flustered from this?" He joked.
"Shut up," Somin replied with a racing heart. His lips twitched and leaned forward, carefully cupped her face. She relentlessly looked at him, trying her best to not smile.
He pulled her towards him and her breath hitched. Their faces were close to each other, their breaths slowing down at the intimate contact. Somin licked her dry lips as a habit and Jongkook's gaze dropped to her lips.
"Damn it, I was supposed to be playing around," He thought to himself, holding himself back to just slam his lips on hers. "Somin, I..." He paused. "Shit..." His voice was slightly high-pitched, sounding desperate.
"What am I even doing?" He softly whispered to himself and started to pull away until he felt two hands on his face, making him still. His hands moving to stay on top of hers. "Somin, what-" His words got stopped by warm lips embracing his.
Jongkook's heart was pounding immensely, he felt that he'd melt. He exhaled in the kiss and closed his eyes, embracing the moment. His lips moved with hers slowly with his head tilting for better access.
He heard her whimper when he tugged on her lower lip. He felt warm all over. Somin felt his hands trailing down to her waist and she instantaneously wrapped her arms on his neck. He pulled her closer, their chest meeting.
He groaned softly into the kiss as he felt her pulling gently onto his hair. Jongkook felt her sitting up to straddle his lap but he didn't think that was a good idea at the moment. He gripped onto her hips, forcing her to stay in her seat. She bit his lower lip gently in annoyance as he chuckled into the kiss.
Slowly, they pulled away, leaning on each other's forehead. Both of them breathing each other's scent. Jongkook lifted up his head and looked at Somin, who was trying to avoid eye contact.
His hands were still on her waist and her arms were still on his neck. Jongkook let out a small laugh from her red cheeks. He gave her a peck on the cheek. "Now, that wasn't so bad, was it?" He teased as Somin just rolled her eyes playfully, with a smile still attached on her lips.
