"So lock the door, And throw out the keys, Can't fight this no more, It's just you and me, And there is nothing I, nothing I, I can do, I'm stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you." ~ Ariana Grande, Justin Beiber - Stuck with you

A hearty meal and love confessions are the best way to start the day, Jungkook concluded. Standing in his house balcony, he looked at his girlfriend talking animatedly on the phone with someone, with a smile. His heart smiled when he looked at her. Before knowing her he was aware of her talents - singing , dancing, playing instruments, somersaulting as a past cheerleader (yes he watched that episode), painting (he used to see fan shipping posts on twitter and was impressed with her art) but now he was convinced the girl was a secret chef in disguise.
If the smell of the food had left him feeling nostalgic, nothing could compare to the taste of it. He had volunteered to do the dishes and with many protests she had complied, that's when her phone had started ringing.
Now he lounged in his living room that overlooked the balcony, where the sun rays made Chaeyoung's hair look like liquid gold, her skin shining, her laughter infectious. He switched on the TV so as to not seem like a peeping tom.
Days off usually meant he would sit watching his favourite shows, not moving from the living room couch, unaware of the amount of junk he's stuffing his face until he switched on the video game console and then the world dissolved. Real world would materialise when the game was turned off only because his gaming mates - Bambam, Yugyeom and Mingyu quit, then he'd hit the gym. And that's how the day ended.
It was 11 o clock now. And he'd already done so much more than he would in the entire day.
Showered? check.
Had breakfast? check.
Wearing fresh clothes? check.
Called in at work to sort some documents? check.
Told his girlfriend he loved her? check.
Smiling like there was a hanger in his mouth? check check check.
He shook his head trying to clear it so that he could stop smiling like a local pervert down the street. But when Chaeyoung returned to the room with a huge smile, walking towards him with the sun illuminating her form, looking like an angel, the smile returned full fledged.
Extending his arms like a child wanting to be coddled, Chaeyoung laughed as she stepped into his arms, holding him as he pulled her towards himself so that now she was seated his lap. Leaning forward, smelling her hair- coconut and strawberries today, meaning of contentment was clear to him.
"Hey you." He whispered even though there was no one else in the house.
"Hey you." She whispered back laughing. " Why do you address me like that always?"
"I don't know." He said as he pressed a kiss on her temple. "Instinct."
"Maybe 'hey you' can be our always." She chuckled.
"What?" He looked at her confused.
"The Fault in our Stars?" She said as if that explained everything. He still looked confused.
"Jungkook!" He looked at her more confused.
"Why will there be fault in our stars? You're my lucky charm." He still looked confused as he said that with a pout.
"It's a book, Jungoo." She laughed. "But it's cute. You're my lucky charm too." She laughed as she pecked his cheek.
"Ah that explains why I didn't know." He smiled embarrassed.
"It's a movie too." She hummed.
"Okay we can watch it now if you want."
"OKAY!" She shouted as she jumped up from his lap, rushing into the kitchen.
Jungkook sat there shocked, gaping at the empty space in his lap where she sat ten seconds before she bolted somewhere. She rushed back with a big bowl and was that a box of tissues?
"I get popcorn. But why tissues?"
"Aww you clueless baby. You're in for a ride." She said as she patted his cheek.
In the duration of the movie, Jungkook laughed, sat in awe, cried and felt a thousand emotions which he didn't think was possible for a movie to bring out at the same time.
As he processed the reason of his existence and his emotional mess of a state as the end credits rolled, Chaeyoung buried her face in his chest, sniffing as he felt her entire body rock with emotions. Wrapping his arms around her consoling her as he rubbed her back, kissing her forehead as she calmed down.
"Why do you always make me watch movies with leave me crying?" He asked her as she stopped crying.
"You have to admit they all are good though." She said as she laughed into his shirt.
"Yes but they break my heart."
"I'm sorry." She said as she looked up at him.
"You know my fans are wrong about one thing." He said after a moment of silence.
"Which is?"
"That I'm good at everything." He said.
"Well I don't think they're wrong about that. You're a beautiful, talented, muscular hunk." She laughed, emphasising her point by squeezing his bicep.
"Why thank you my lady." He said as he laughed. "I'm delighted you enjoy my body."
"Difficult not to." She said as she hugged him tighter. He laughed.
"But that's not what I meant."
"Ok. Tell me. What do you think you're not good at?"
"Academics. I was never good at that. Especially maths. God, I hated that class and that subject." He suffered as he said that. She laughed but didn't say anything as she wanted him to continue.
"But this movie, taught me a math lesson." He said. "Some infinites are bigger than other infinities."
She looked up at him now.
"Every day, every moment with you, feels like I'm out of a place in reality. It's a short amount of time and yet an infinity. An infinity of me being happy and content." He said as he stroked her cheek, looking at her like she was the centre of his universe, hugging her more tightly. " I love you so much, Chaeyoung."
"I love you too, Jungkook." She said through her tears extending her neck so can kiss him.
"Chae?" He said after a moment as she buried her face in his chest again.
