DEAD SENSES || J.JK ✔

"No," he declines, "why do you ask?" His rosy lips force into a smile, but it doesn't go unnoticed from my eyes since i can tell clearly that he's distressed, and his hands are crossed, in a fist.

I exhale, maybe he's not wanting to tell me about it. I try to not ask him again, but move closer to him and lift my head to look in his eyes, "can we go and show hanuel the surprise now?" I smile, feeling all giddy and excited about what the little one's reaction will be like when she sees the pie, the inside filled with her favourite jam, apple jam.

"Can we wait a bit more, baby?" He glances away at the guests who slowly leave, taking their time, and i nod, ignoring the butterflies i felt when he called me baby. Something doesn't seem right, i can feel it, and i hate that feeling.

"I gotta go, june." Kiyoung comes to us, and he turns to mister jeon and bows, "thank you for the invitation, sir." He calls his hand out to kumi as she's smiling shyly while gazing up at mister jeon, being shy and cute because of the man who intimidates me as well, she's just like me, really.

"Hey, it's okay." He pats kiyoung's back. Mister jeon doesn't let this go unnoticed, this cute smile on kumi's lips. "Goodbye, kumi." He leans down and holds her tiny hand in his veiny clasp, smiling at her while she giggles softly, playing with her finger in her mouth, she suddenly goes forth and kisses his cheek. Wow, i cannot believe he made her do this.

Mister jeon chuckles, putting his arms forth to take her in his embrace, "you're so adorable, darling." He whispers, kissing the back of head. I sometimes wonder if she thinks of him as a father figure, this is possible, her own one is always away and far, so this might be the reason she finds mister jeon comforting and is cute and awkward and shy with him too. That's so soft of her to feel this way, but on the other hand, i don't want to think from her point of view. It's more than worse.

"There," he rubs her back soothingly, but cups her small face which fits his whole hand, and she smiles as he gives her a kiss on her cheek, "have a good night, okay?" She nods, unable to think of how to speak and what to say, she smiles at him with her baby rose lips and mister jeon gets up, the smile almost disappears as soon as i look at him.

Why's he acting this way? Am i the reason? Have i messed up without knowing what i did?

"Bye..." Kumi waves her hand at hanuel once kiyoung picks her up to step outside the house, she automatically lays her small head on her brother's shoulder, the only one who she's the closest to, she sucks on her thumb but her eyes have a hard time staying open. "Goodbye." Hanuel smiles, looking at her with the softest eyes, and she comes to me but wraps an arm around my waist, so i touch her back, and gaze down at her.

One woman who still doesn't leave, takes her purse but bends over for it, and her short bodycon rides up, but mister jeon takes his eyes away from the scene, his jaw clenching and the anger building up in his orbs, his hands clutch into a fists, but he exhales.

Is it because of her that he's tensed? I wonder if she crossed the limits of irritation, because mister jeon isn't the one to be angry over small stuffs. The anxiety slowly taking hold of me, i stop my heavy breathings but move back and decide to go to the kitchen to check on something which is for hanuel.

"June, wait, do-" I grab the paper box to open it, but mister jeon's words getting broken by my actions, he rushes to me but closes the lid after i've seen inside.

Jungkook's POV

Her face explaining it all, i swallow the lump down my throat but gaze at her as she doesn't raise her eyes up to me anymore and just stays still, i go closer to her. "Sweetheart?" I hold her hand but she slides both of them down the counter slowly, not facing me.
