The Blood of a Gumiho ~JK~

Chapter 14

"Good morning, princess," A deep, soothing voice reaches Mina's ears. She opens her eyes blearily, looking around her lit bedroom. She spots Jungkook sitting at the end of her bed, looking down at her with kind eyes. She smiles.

"Good morning, criminal," She sighs, "I thought I locked my bedroom door and told you to stay in the lounge room?"

"I couldn't help myself," Jungkook grins cheekily, "I wanted to watch you sleep," Mina sighs as she pulls herself up into a seated position, her bed hair hanging around her head like a wonky bird's nest.

"You know that sounds creepy, right?" Mina smirks playfully, "I should tie you up before I go to sleep from now on,"

Jungkook chuckles and shuffles closer, peering down at her with a dark look in his eyes.

"That wouldn't stop me," He murmurs huskily.

"That... that was even more creepy, y-you know?" Mina blushes and decides not to provoke him anymore. She wiggles her legs so Jungkook is forced off the bed so she can get up. She slides out of bed into her slippers. As she reaches for the hair tie on her bedside table, she runs her fingers through her hair. Once she thinks she is presentable enough, she addresses Jungkook.

"Please remove yourself from my bedroom so I can get dressed," Mina says firmly, but her eyes are full of mirth.

"I guess," Jungkook shrugs, a smile playfully pinching his cheeks, "I'll make some coffee,"

Mina waits until he is out of the room before rushing forward and locking the door. She shakes her head as she hears Jungkook's faint chuckle from the hallway.

Mina dresses quickly, not 100% confident in Jungkook's ability to not be a pervert. Once she is dressed, she leaves the room in search of him - and hopefully, she will find him with some coffee.

As soon as she exits the hallway, she immediately regrets allowing him to make the coffee. The room is full of the smell of burnt toast and extremely strong coffee. Frowning, she enters the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" Mina asks, looking around her usually clean kitchen. He has filled a cup with hot water. The coffee is thick and potent as if he poured half the jar of coffee into it. The singed toast is sitting on the countertop, burnt to a crisp. There are crumbs, coffee and water all over the counter. Has he never been in a kitchen before?

Giggling, Mina steps forward, pushing the bewildered Gumiho aside.

"Let me do it," Mina shakes her head, still giggling at his attempt at making food.

"I can do it," He pouts.

"Really?" Mina turns and folds her arms, "Have you ever used a toaster before?"

"Toaster?" Jungkook frowns at the bench. His eyes land on the toaster and he points to it, "This?"

"Yes," Mina points to it as well, "This is a toaster. It makes toast,"

"Toast?" Jungkook frowns at the seared bread, "Cooked bread?"

"Surely you know what toast is," Mina laughs as Jungkook blushes.

"I don't cook my bread again, I only cook it once," He frowns, "I don't understand," He admits.

"Then how did you know to use the toaster?" Mina asks, feeling a little sceptical.

"I've seen you use it for breakfast, so I assumed that's what you would want,"

Mina smirks as she looks up at the 1000-year-old creature, shaking her head. He looks like a child learning how to cook for the first time.
