Not So Shy! | | JJK [ON HOLD]

«Kristen»

I am twenty-five years old. Is it weird that I have been giggling, blushing, and throwing my arms in the air since I got back home?

I guess not. I mean, even if it is, who cares?

Jungkook and I hardly did any shopping together but the fact that he still came made me jump around the house. I knew Jungkook didn't like going out unless it was for business purposes. His mother had told me before. He was an introvert and traveling with people is the last thing he wanted to do. He could travel the whole world alone but he disliked having company.

I didn't want to push him to get out of his comfort zone just because he was married to me. But seeing that I wasn't the only one putting in the effort made me feel better.

I secretly glanced at Jungkook chopping my vegetables while he stood there making his soup on the stove. He was in his trousers and T-shirt with an apron tied around his neck. His hair fell beautifully over his forehead.

He was so beautiful to look at.

I was staring at him for five minutes carelessly chopping off the carrot.

"Kris." I quickly looked away flustered. Jungkook walks towards me as I look at him like I wasn't just devouring his beauty seconds ago. "The soup is ready. Can you please taste it and give me feedback?" He has the bowl in front of me. I open my mouth while he stares at me blankly before he finally feeds me the soup.

"Hmm" I nod my head. "It's so good." He grins going back to the stove. I look at what I am doing.

Yeah, half-heartedly chopping vegetables because my husband keeps distracting me by helping me in the kitchen.

I give the vegetables to him and go to get the dough ready for baking the cake. I don't know how to bake a cake but Jungkook does. So I am just helping him out with the dessert.

My hands are dipped in flour and my hair is falling over my face. The bun that I made has loosely fallen over my back.

"Jungkook." I call for him. He hums as I struggle with my hair. "Can you please tie up my hair? They keep falling on my face." I feel Jungkook's presence behind me. "Give me your hair tie." I scan the kitchen counter searching for my hair tie. I whine.

"I keep losing my hair ties." Jungkook chuckles walking out of the kitchen and quickly climbing up the stairs. I pout waiting for him.

Jungkook comes back with my scrunchie in his hands, the same scrunchie I had lost three days ago.

"Where'd you find that?" I ask. He shrugs his shoulders.

"You leave them around and forget." He pulls my hair out of my face holding them together and tying them up. "Better?" He asks peeking from over my shoulder.

YES CALM THE FUCK DOWN. HE JUST TIED YOUR DAMN HAIR.

I nod my head. "Better" He goes back to whatever he was doing.

It takes us two hours to get the dinner ready. When it is finally done I look proudly at our work.

"Now, you go and take a bath. Get ready, okay." He hums and walks away. I wash my hands and go to scroll through my phone.

As soon as I open Instagram, I get Nathaniel's call. I pick it up sitting on the stool.

"Oh, you are alive? Do you have a phone? Do you have my number? You remember me?"

I am half shouting, overreacting, and being dramatic.

Nat hisses. "I am sor-" I scoff cutting off his sentence. "No, no, no, no! Please. King Nathaniel. Please don't apologize. Don't insult me like that. I am just a peasant of your kingdom. Don't let me bother you."

I roll my eyes. The Bitch hasn't called me in a week.

Yes, he had the whole company to take care of in my absence but taking out five minutes to call me wasn't a big deal. I put the call on the speaker keeping it on the counter and go to grab a bottle of water from the refrigerator.

"Look, if you keep doing that I'll have to come there and snatch you away from your husband so that I can make up to you." I gasped.

"No fucking way. We are having guests over. Don't you dare."

Nathaniel laughs devilishly.

"I am really missing you Stenny-" He uses the nickname I hate from the bottom of my heart. I can sense the mocking in his tone.

"Shut up! You can go Fuck off. I have a husband now. I don't need you. Shoo-"

Of course, I am kidding but Nat doesn't need to know.

Nathaniel gasps feeling offended.

"You betrayed me~
And I know that you'll never feel soooorry for the way I hurt~"

Nathan sings in his off-note voice.

"Yeah, I don't feel sorry at all. Go find someone for yourself." Nathan whines.

"I only want you though Kris." Nat and I have a bittersweet relationship. We are always fighting, bickering, and mocking each other. Even while comforting each other we mostly insulted the other person and lightened up the mood. It was cringe to say sweet things. We would say a sweet word or two then in the future we would make fun of it and laugh forever.

However, flirting was a top-tier thing between us.

"Too Bad. I'm already married. Maybe in the next life baby." I laugh after that. Nathaniel laughs too.

"I'll prefer to live with a porcupine instead of you."

See.

"Yes, whatever. Fuck off. And I am still mad at you. Busy Bitch." I hang up the call. My water bottle is still in my hands and I haven't taken even a sip.

It was hard to focus on any other thing when I was on a call with my best friend.

"Nathaniel and you are very good friends, I see." I jump since Jungkook comes out of nowhere.

My eyes are all over him. He is wearing a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows matching it with black jeans. The first two buttons of his shirt are unbuttoned exposing his collarbone.

And I totally forget that he must have heard all of our conversations since the phone was on speaker.

"Um, yeah-" I answer shortly. Jungkook smiles up at me.

"Nathaniel is fun to be around. I survived the wedding just because of him." He tells me. I raise a surprised brow.

"You were with him?" 

He hums nodding his head.

"He talked a lot. About you. The whole time."

NOOOOOO!

I SWEAR I AM NOT AS BAD AS HE WOULD HAVE DESCRIBED ME TO BE.

I am panicking. I rush towards Jungkook.
"What did he say?" Jungkook chuckles shaking his head.

"Not telling you." He shrugs his shoulders. I walk closer to him holding his arm.

"Please tell me. I want to know." He clicks his tongue against his teeth.

"Nope." I am about to whine more but Jungkook gives me a look.

"Go get ready." I pout but decide to get ready right now otherwise I'll get late.

I have other tricks to know what Nathan said about me to Jungkook.

I am positive I am going to kill Nathaniel. He must have spilled all the embarrassing things I did when we were Fucking children and he would have probably said to Jungkook that I am weird with only two brain cells.

I don't expect one good word from him.

Nathaniel dude, you better be ready for my rage.
