Mafia Fanboy || Jeon Jungkook ✓

9: Lip Touch

Ari slowly munched on the kimchi and then took a huge spoon of rice. "Is it good?" I asked her and she looked up at me.

"Did you cook these all? These are great!" She said emotionlessly which I was used to by now.

"I did cook all of these. You helped me last night so you deserve a feast." I said and she was busy with her food. "When I got the text from the unknown number I thought that it was a stalker of mine. But then somehow in the middle of the night I came here and entered the code on the door lock, I found that the message was true. Then I found you passed out on the couch with bloody clothes so I took off your clothes here and treated your wounds-" 

"Wait! You stripped me here?"

She nodded her head innocently as if it wasn't a big deal for her. 

"I wouldn't carry you to your bedroom with your bloody clothes. I don't want mine to get ruined as well. So I gave you a sponge bath, treated your wounds, and carried you to bed then came back here for your clothes again. And you were heavy as iron. It broke all of my bones to carry you to your room with my body supporting yours."

"You could've just laid me on the couch," I said but she looked at me. "Just in your boxers? What if the person who sent me your door code walks in and sees you like that?" She said and she always has a point.

"Still you could have woken me up or made me wear clothes," I said and made a poker face. "I tried to but you didn't wake up!" She exclaimed and I blushed at her. 

"Still you shouldn't have left me in just my boxers. I have basic human rights, you know?" I said to her. "Well, you are going to strip me in the future as well so it will be fair that way." She said blankly while I choked on my rice.

I looked at her with big eyes only to find her holding a glass of water in front of me with a straight face. I took it from her and drank it, trying to calm myself down. 

"Are you always this direct?"

She just nodded her head and I scoffed before laughing. "You really are something, little genius," I said while resuming my eating.

"Why aren't you smiling at all today?" I asked and she looked at me before flashing a small forced smile.

"I don't smile at all. But after meeting you I am trying my best, so please cooperate." She said and I nodded before continuing to eat my food.

"I also saw a room filled with all the comics and fan goods from all of my works," she randomly mentioned and I looked at her.

"Well, I said you. I was a huge fan of all your works. It comforted me when I was feeling down. So buying things like that was like an obsession for me." I said and she hummed.

"Does my work really comfort you?" She asked while peeking at me shyly. I placed my chopsticks down to look at her. 

"You know yesterday, before going for the gang war, you updated your webtoon, so I read it. I was feeling nervous about it but my heart felt at ease while reading your work.

Creators like you won't understand how much your content means to us, viewers. We are all humans. You are good at doing something while we are good at doing other things. Contents that the creators make are like a warm hug to its viewers. While comments from us are like a charger to you all.

It makes us smile and it makes our days brighter. Every week we wait for a single update from you. Because we love you and everything you do." I said to her and watched her smile genuinely at my words. 

Also, I could notice the pink tint creeping up her face. She bit her lips shyly and stood up. She walked over to me and sat on the chair next to me while I stared at her with raised eyebrows. 

"Jungkook, can you place your lips over here?" She said pointing her cheeks and my eyes widen.

"I- I- Are you fine with it, Ari?" I asked her and she grinned at me while nodding. I chuckled and cupped her face before leaning in to gently place my lips on her cheek.

I closed my eyes and then my lips pressed to her cheek. I didn't pull back quickly and let my lips over there for a while. I smiled at her cheek before kissing it one last time and pulling back to stare at her giggling at me.

"Now my turn," I said showing my cheek to her and she laughed softly before placing a quick soft kiss on my cheek. 

I whined at how quickly she pulled back. I opened my eyes to glare at her playfully. "You are an evil brat. I gave you such a lovely kiss and you didn't even kiss me that well."

"You didn't kiss me," she said while smiling and I smiled. "I didn't? Then what did I do?" I asked her. 

"Your lips just touched my cheeks. It is called lip touch." She said while grinning sheepishly. I scoffed at her but started laughing eventually.

"Ari," I called her softly and she hummed. "Can I be your boyfriend?" I asked her and she gave me a surprised look. 

Did I ask too much? Am I moving too fast? I don't know. She is already younger than me so she might want to take things slow. Shit! I fucked up.

"I m-mean . . . it's alright i-if you don't-"
"Did you say that you want to be my boyfriend instead of asking me to be your girlfriend?" She asked and I looked at her.

"You want to take things slow then I am fine-"
"Jungkook, in all the dramas that I have seen or all the comics that I have read, the male leads always ask the female leads to be their girlfriends. This is the first time I heard someone asking if he could be her boyfriend." She said with a smile and I sighed in relief.

"I thought you don't want me as your boyfriend," I said while catching my breath and she shook her head. 

"I would love to be your girlfriend." She said and I smiled at her. I hugged her and she gasped under my embrace, probably feeling this for the first time in a while.

"You are my idol and I am a small fanboy. Of course, I can't ask you to be my girlfriend. I need to ask you if you think that I am worthy of being your boyfriend." I said while kissing her head.

She wrapped her arms around me and I inhaled her sweet fragrance and enjoyed her warmth. This feels like a dream. The person whom I admire the most is hugging me right now. This feels so surreal and magical.

"Jungkook," she called out and I hummed while closing my eyes. "I can't breathe." She said and I opened my eyes and released her. 

"Oh, sorry. It's just that I have always seen you on pictures or book covers. So hugging you for the first time was like a dream come true for me. So I just-"
"It's alright, Jungkook." She said while smiling. I pouted at her. 

"You still call me Jungkook. Why?" I said letting my frustration out. She pursed her lips and looked at me in annoyance. "Then what do you want me to call you?"

I grinned and looked at her evilly before saying.

"Call me Kook~"
