Chapter 94

The living room was filled with delight and joyful waves of laughter as the three of you had started playing a board game that was full of tiny little figures of animals and you had to find the animal the card you would pull, would tell you too. It was simple yet because the images were so small on the big board that was laid all over the table, and the fact that whoever found it first would actually be the winner, made the game somehow have a sense of eagerness, hurry and tension that ended up gifting you all excitement.

"Penguin...penguin...penguin- Ah! Found it!" You were murmuring to yourself until what you were all looking for finally fell to your notice and you hurried to put your finger on it before anyone else and ended up having your hand halted in mid-air, as Jungkook tried to stop you so he could touch it first but at the last moment, Jimin pulled the board towards himself making Jk lose his aim and him managed to touch the figure of the penguin first.

"I won!" He announced his victory full of happiness before he started laughing and you and Jungkook just slapped him at the sides of his shoulders, both in irritation cause he had managed to win thrice in a row so far.

"Ah, this is so frustrating. I feel like breaking his arms, Agh~" Jungkook held the bridge of his nose with his two fingers as he spoke in irritation, half-jokingly half not for his competitiveness had really woken up.

 "I normal would object to that 'cause he barely left the hospital some weeks ago but the fact that this game has no rules that would make this not count is irritating me too. Let's tie him up." You spoke in seriousness, making Jimin crack up more for, despite your hard gaze, he knew you were joking and was finding the irritation of you both, quite entertaining.

"Maybe instead of complaining you should just try to play better. It's getting boring since I have no competition." He decided to put oil on the fire and instantly smiled as Jungkook's eyes shot at him with a deadly stare.

"The audacity." You exaggerated a scoff that had him literally throw himself on your lap laughing and you let him be, slightly giggling along while his head was resting on your knees. A normal brief action as he soon gathered himself in his seating position again, but for some reason, once you lifted your gaze towards Jungkook at that very moment, you found him staring at you in a familiar way.

That piercing gaze and the way he had lightly chewed on his lower lip, made you think of the days he had amnesia. If you didn't know better you could think that he was bothered by something or to place it better, for that brief moment he was giving you that gaze that screamed jealousy but he had no treason to be looking at you like that now, so you discarded it as just your imagination.

"Let's play. I will win this time." He announced in a rather confident tone and you rose an eyebrow at him as you weren't planning to let him have it. Sure Jimin winning so many times in a row was not pleasant but Jungkook winning this time, didn't change much to you. This game should be yours. You had a pride to protect and when it comes to games, that side of you surely used to get more prominent.

"I am picking a card then," Jimin said and he proceeded to do just that, soon announcing to you that the animal you will be looking for this time around was a cat.

Simultaneously you all dropped your eyes on the board and started scanning it in search of the animal and to your surprise, you caught sight of it, right by the corner, where Jungkook had his elbow close by. Your face lit up unconsciously at the sight and unfortunately, Jungkook instantly caught that from his peripherical vision and as you were about to quickly attack and touch the figure of the animal on the board, he literally swiped the whole board and stood up, running away with it.

"Yah! Come here!" You screamed at him as you quickly followed and Jimin did the same amount some laughter while you ended up chasing him around the house, as he kept going from room to room, making you all end up at Jimin's bedroom, him on the bed while you and Jimin had circled around him, trying to prevent him from escaping.

"Leave the board down slowly and step away from it." You uttered and Jimin couldn't help but crack up once more at the fact that you were sounding like a policewoman who was trying to arrest someone.

"I will win."

"Heck no! I saw that cat first. Bring the board down and play fair!" You argued with him and Jungkook shook his head in denial, in a rather cute way.

"This little- I said bring it here!" You climbed on the bed and took hold of one side of the board, pulling it your way only for him to pull it back towards himself, now with a smile on his face, as he too was finding this ridiculously funny.

You started pushing and pulling on it while staring at each other while Jimin was literally laughing his ass off at the side, occasionally murmuring to you two to stop cause you might tear the board apart.

"Let go of it!"

"No, you let go of it." He argued and as you pulled the board with great force towards yourself, you ended up losing your balance. The sight had Jimin instantly grow worried as you were leaning backwards and you could end up falling to the floor, so he rushed towards you, in thoughts of preventing that, but instead, he was met with the board landing on his head, as Jungkook had thrown it instinctively in order to free his hands, and had taken hold of your wrist, pulling you towards himself. An action that had saved you from falling off the bed and meeting the floor but had made him lose his own balance and have you bath fall backwards instead and plop on Jimin's bed. 

Everything had happened so fast that you had barely had the time to blink but as your mind was processing the situation you were staring blankly at Jungkook who you were right above, his nose touching yours.

His breath had gotten stuck in his throat while his eyes remained wide open, unable to look away from you. His mind had gone completely blank while his heart was speeding up under the warmth of your palm that had landed on his chest.

"Oh my, are you guys okay?" Jimin's worried voice was what made you both snap out of the moment and turn your heads towards him, only to say nothing but look back at each other, then in a hurry, get off of him and clear your throat.

'I am fine. But from now on, moving the board isn't allowed. And this round is won by me. I saw that cat." You played it cool, changing the subject to exactly what it should have been, while you tried to ignore the nervousness that the unexpected close proximity with Jungkook had brought him.

"You all, let's relax. It's just a game." Jimin laughed, despite the fact that his eyes, were travelling from his brother to you quite observantly because he knew you well, and that was not the way you usually react when coming to unwanted physical touch with anyone. But unlike all he knew, to his surprise there was no aggravation in your reaction, instead, all he could see was a hurry, to overlook it.

"A game that you are winning so it's easy for you to speak," Jungkook replied to his statement and he rested his gaze on him with a smile on his face, while he didn't fail to notice a certain awkwardness taking over Jungkook's body language.

Did I miss out on something?... They are both behaving...unusually.

He concluded in his mind as he kept his thoughts to himself and proceeded to pick up the board game from the floor and follow after you, who hadn't hesitated to leave the room, once you had uttered your last words.
