..but I still want you // OT7 [COMPLETED]

75 || A Beginning's End

JUNGKOOK & DANBI

Jungkook POV

"Danbi?" I ask more to myself than towards the woman approaching.

"Danbi?" Alana echoes albeit a bit more on the sad side. "Your ex."

I turn back to Alana noticing her sight drop to Koo-Koo who is drooling on his fist. She shifts him in her lap before she speaks again without looking up.

"She's beautiful, Jungkook."

"Alana.." I squat to see her eye level. "Baby, what's wrong?"

She shakes her head. "I didn't picture her to be quite so pretty. Like, abnormally, K-drama actress pretty."

I chuckle, raising my hand to caress Alana's cheek. "I guess she's okay. Not really my type, though."

Alana peers shyly through her lashes. "Yeah?" She sounds like a kitten mewling. It's adorable.

"Yeah," I reply leaning in to join our lips.

"Oh.." Danbi's voice is closer now.

I turn my head in Danbi's direction but still keep my hand on my girlfriend's cheek. Danbi has stopped just close enough to see Alana and me kissing.

"I didn't mean to interrupt. I just wanted to say hello." Danbi says holding her hands together behind her back.

I give Alana a few more affectionate pecks on her nose, lips, and cheeks that make her giggle like a dork. "Is it okay if I talk to Danbi for a minute?"

Alana scrunches her face. "Only if you don't, like, try to run off and be with her again."

"I love being right where I am right now," I answer honestly.

I touch our lips once more then stand and make my way over to Danbi. A gentle breeze blows swaying her long hair across her back and fanning her sundress to one side.

Danbi smiles widely at me. "Hi, Jungkook. How are you?"

"I'm good, Danbi. How are you? You look amazing."

Indeed, she does. Gone is the shy girl I dated for four years who couldn't fathom the idea of showing off her curves. In front of me stands a woman proud of her body and glowing from happiness.

"Thank you," she blushes but doesn't break eye contact. "You look amazing as well. You grew out your hair."

I shake my shaggy mess and chuckle. "Yeah. My girlfriend likes it this way."

Danbi peeps around me to see Alana and I follow her gaze. Alana's head immediately snaps upwards to look at the sky as she forces herself to whistle nonchalantly like she wasn't just trying to watch our entire interaction.

It might have worked if she knew how to whistle.

Danbi giggles. "She's really pretty."

"Yeah. She's absolutely beautiful."

Danbi takes note of the dreamy undertones in my voice. "Engaged yet?"

I stuff my hands into my pockets fiddling with the ring box I have carried with me for the last two months. "Hopefully as soon as I work up the nerve to pop the question. You?"

"Our wedding is Saturday."

"Oh! Wow! Congratulations, Danbi." I try to hide the surprise in my voice.

"We decided against a big ceremony. The only guests are our immediate families."

She nudges the ground with the tip of her sandal. "A small ceremony felt right with my Jiminie. I can't explain it." Her cheeks blush.
