Confessions

The whole day, Jungkook had spent planning the perfect setup for him to meet Kate again. He turned to look at the room, satisfied with how it all looked. Then his eyes moved over himself in the mirror. He chuckled as he took in a bit too much dressed-up appearance.
"Showtime. Fighting Jungkook!" He mumbled, trying to give himself support.
"Hello, this is room 1997. I want to talk to your chief of the complaints department." He tried to sound stern when he called reception.
"Is there a problem, sir?" A young female voice asked in a formal tone.
"Yes, there certainly is. And I do not feel the need to discuss that with you. I want to talk to your boss!" The singer really hoped his angry tone would help him get Kate to meet him.
"Just a second, Mr..."
"Mr. Jeon. And I do not have a second. Do you know how much I make in a second?" He expressed, feeling bad for saying something so rude.
"Okay, sir. I will let Miss Hemmington, the chief of our complaints department, know, and she will come to see you soon."
Jungkook danced around with a bright smile, the feeling of success mixing with his excitement to see Kate again.
He had not finished his little happy dance when he heard a knock on the door.

Kate could not believe that Jungkook was still at the hotel. Since she had seen him, her heart had been broken all over again. She took a deep breath and knocked on room number 1997's door.
When the door opened, it was like all oxygen had left her lungs. Jungkook looked great with his black pants and the white shirt that was only buttoned up in half. Her mouth hung agape when he walked closer to her, her pulse racing at how he was making her feel.
"Kate... I mean June," he mumbled as his hand came to hold hers.
Suddenly, Kate came back to reality and pulled her hand away.
"Mr. Jeon. I was informed that you have a complaint." Kate looked into his eyes, trying to return to her business personality.
"Yes, I ordered...It would be best if you come in." Jungkook opened the door wide and gestured for her to step inside.

As soon as the door closed, Kare could feel his arms coming around her middle as he gave her a back hug.
"I miss you," he whispered, and it took Kate every ounce of strength in her body to push him off.
"Jungkook, please. I am working, which is the only reason I am here. So, what is your complaint?" Kate stepped away from him, her eyes examining how neat his room looked.
"I have ordered food from the room service."
"I can see that. Are you waiting for a guest?" She inquired as she saw two cloches on the table.
"Yes ... No..."
"What is it? It doesn't matter, anyway. What is your complaint?" Kate would have loved to know who he was expecting as jealousy started forming inside her.

"It is about the food?" Jungkook told her as he directed her to the table.
"The food?" Kate lifted one cloche and saw her favorite dish appearing. "What is wrong with it?"
"Just taste it? Please."
Acting innocently, Jungkook pulled the chair out for Kate to sit down. Absentmindedly she took the seat, and the singer had to hide his grin when he started to believe his plan might work.
Jungkook hurried to the other side of the table and lifted his cloche before taking a seat as well. With intense eyes, he watched as she cut a small piece of shrimp and put it in her mouth. Her eyes closed in delight when a grin of satisfaction appeared on her face.
"It tastes good to me," she told him, trying to get up.
"The shrimp is not the problem. Maybe you should try the other thing, you know..."
"The gratin?"
"Yes, whatever." Jungkook was so worried about her leaving that he forgot what he had actually ordered for her.
Kate sat back down and started to take a small bite of the potato dish. Jungkook finally felt that he had reached his goal and she would stay.
"So why do people call you June?" he asked as he started to eat as well.
"Because June is my middle name, and when I came here, I wanted a fresh start. Jungkook, what are you doing here? The food is delicious. My shift ended ten minutes ago, so can I go home, please."
It broke Jungkook's heart when he thought about her returning to a home she was sharing with her future husband.
"Is your fiancé waiting for you?" He replied coldheartedly, holding her stare.
"Yes, he wants me to cook dinner tonight." Kate got up when her phone started to ring.
"Excuse me," she told Jungkook before she answered the call.
"Hey, I was about to... What? That's okay. I will talk to you tomorrow then. I lo..." Jungkook didn't want to eavesdrop, but when he saw Kate's face dropping, he knew that now was his time to show her that a man should not treat her like that.
"Kate?" He approached her slowly to let his thumb come under her chin, lifting it to make her look into his eyes.
He was not prepared for her next move, though.
