Chapter 23

"And what if I say that I don't like you ?," Chaeyoung questioned him back. She was teasing him and Jungkook didn't seem to mind at all. 

If this was them flirting then Jungkook was here for it. 

"Then I will make sure to court you, go after you, convince your family and be the only man that you can ever look at," he said proudly laughing. 

"And what if I still don't like you after that ?" she asked him again. Butterflies were swarming in her tummy but she was just having fun. "You know, I have a lot of trust issues regarding men. So you will definitely have a hard time pleasing me." she chuckled and sipped the soup of the ramen. 

"Oh do you?" Jungkook raised his eyebrows mischievously. "I think I did pass the test of you trusting me then cause you are spending a night with me, today." he winked back. 

"That's because I didn't want to trouble my brother, Jimin, to pick me up." she retorted back. "Mind you, even if our relationship happens in a long term and we enter a phase of you know meeting families, I promise you my dad and my brother won't go easy on you.", she added proudly. 

"Oh Chaeyoung, you are so innocent and now that you said about "families meeting" I take that as a yes to my confession." he chimed in and stood up on his feet, and went back to his seat. 

"You fucking tricked me, Jungkook." Chaeyoung almost shouted to him. 

"I didn't. You were having a hard time accepting the truth and I just went with the flow." he laughed at her frowning cutely and took a spoonful of his cold ramen. 

He paused and looked at her, "And about 'fucking', we can do that later, just let me know", he smirked to which Chaeyoung kicked his leg from under the table.

They ate in silence for a while now and sometimes talked here and there. Jungkook was more than happy to know about her feelings. He was skeptical about what would happen after the party but looks like things are back to normal and even better. 

"Jungkook, should we do the dishes right now?" Chaeyoung asked cleaning the table. 

"I don't think it's a good idea. The candlelights are a way to dim and even if we leave a speck of dirt on plates we might not see it properly. As much as I want to use an emergency light, I think we better save it for emergencies cause I don't see power coming back until tomorrow morning." he said as he stared back at her back. He was sitting on the couch.

Jungkook had just noticed that his hoodies had only reached till her mid thighs and her long milky white legs were looking absolutely sexy right now. 

"Leave that Chaeyoung. It's cold. Come here we need to warm up before cold hits us more" Jungkook took the liberty and dragged her back to the couch in the living room. 

Chaeyoung was insisting but she lost to Jungkook's stubborn ass and followed him anyways. They sat in silence for a while and Jungkook started again. 

"So when are we going for the first date? Do you have any place in mind you want to go to? Or if not I can plan the whole date from morning till evening. And yes, it's gonna be a full-day date. There no way in hell you will say no-" Jungkook interrupted when he saw Chaeyoung smiling brightly at his enthusiasm. His heart swelled at it.

She abruptly hugged him and it took Jungkook a while to process. She was sitting on his lap as she continued.

"I am happy with anywhere as long as you want. It's you who are busy most of the time not the other way round, Mr. President," she whispered to his ears.

A shiver went down Jungkook's spine. Even though it wasn't sensual at all, her soft voice and the hot breath that his ear felt just turned him on.

"Chaeyoung..." he grunted in his deep voice almost like he was holding something back.
