Stripped Naked

6. Jungkook can't stop staring...

Jungkook can't stop staring at her but Ava doesn't even notice. He is smitten by the natural beauty right in front of him as she says her goodbye to a dear friend, Taehyung. He's off to Paris... why? Because she encouraged him to pursue his formal education in visual arts.

She fanned her eyes with both hands, not wanting a teardrop to fall. She's happy for Taehyung but he will definitely be missed. Fishing out a keycard that has Jungkook's name on it, Ava handed it to him with a smile.

"Here... you have exclusive access to this room, studio A where we filmed and in the editing room... you can also use it to get food items and drinks from the vending machines around the building."

"Got it! Thanks..." Jungkook replied with a wide smile. "I'll be out of here in the morning... do I get to keep the keycard or you want me return it before heading home?"

"Keep it... it's yours now anyway." She replied giving him a smile back.

Jungkook can't help but admire Ava's modesty. She's part owner of this entire place yet no trace of superiority can be traced from her. He looks at her from the side, admiring how she tends to dress down in skinny jeans and white plain shirt. She was so fierce back there in the shoot yet she's such a simple girl in real life.

Taehyung was talking to her, discussing a bit about his upcoming farewell party. He was convincing Ava to come but she's not really into parties and she doesn't know anyone from his circle so she might end up alone during the party.

"Just swing by when you can... no pressure!" He said with his cute boxy smile.

She smiled back and realized it was getting a bit hot in the room. Ava went over to the AC control to regulate the temperature as she was about to leave, Ava started fixing her hair and tie it to a high ponytail, both arms folded over her shoulders as she turned around to see Jungkook examining her figure.

Jungkook darted his gaze on the floor, a faint blush forms on his cheeks realizing Ava caught him staring at her. "I better go...still have classes in the morning." She said to both guys.

"Do you drive now?" Taehyung asked, looking a bit surprised.

"Yeah, what do you think of me?" She replied chuckling.

"I've seen you drive and it's bad... you can't be left out there alone, behind the wheel." Taehyung is scooping his jacket from the rack and reaches into his pocket for his car keys.

"Tae... this is ridiculous... you need to work tonight and it's a waste of time for you to drive me home... besides, I brought my own car, I can't just leave it behind."

"Liar, you can leave that car here and have Jin pick you up tomorrow." Taehyung smirks in victory, throwing the keys to Jungkook who perfectly caught it with one hand.

Ava glared at Taehyung, getting now what he's up to. "Oh please... you don't have to Jungkook..." She reassured him.

"I insist... besides it's late to be driving alone." He says with a firm tone as he starts to wear his leather jacket while getting up to stand.

"Jungkook is the most careful driver I know so don't let the bad ass look fool you." Taehyung says in confidence.

Jungkook silently followed Ava to the elevator and stood a step behind. "I don't bite... and I'm not your boss... so you can chill." She said, stepping backward to stand right beside him.

She hears him chuckle silently, letting out a nervous sigh. "Sorry I'm just really like this... the exact opposite of Tae."

"Yes, I noticed." She said with a smile as she went off the elevator. "That's what usually works when you're partners right? You compliment each other."

Ava stood on the passenger's side of Taehyung's car and Jungkook scoots right in front of her to open the door. "Thanks..." She said and was about to pull the door closed but Jungkook leaned over to see her eye to eye.

"I'll just get something from my bike." He said in a low voice to which Ava replied with a nod.

Ava sees him walk over a gorgeous motorbike that she barely knew existed since it's limited edition. Lifting the seat up, she could see him get a thick folder, clutching it under his arm.

"That's a really nice Harley you have there." Ava said, pointing over to the direction of his parked bike.

"Thanks!" He chuckled, scrunching his nose cutely. "You ride motorbikes?" He asked as he adjusts his seat.

"Nope..." She replied with a shake of her head which Jungkook find really cute since she's giving him a slight pout.

"Maybe you should..." He says with a timid smile as he turns the engine on.
