House of Cards [english version]

You opened your eyes feeling the heat under your head and smiled realizing that last night didn't quite go as you had hoped.

When you woke up for the fourth time, feeling anxious and worried that something would happen, you finally got up and rubbing your sleepy eyes, headed to the living room where Jungkook was sleeping on the couch.  You felt stupid to wake him up and admit you were afraid to go back to sleep, so you just went to the kitchen and poured yourself some water.

"You're not sleeping?" you heard after a while and you jumped. "Hey...baby, what's up? Are you afraid of something?"  He walked over to you and grabbed your shoulders, rubbing them lightly.

"I don't know, I can't sleep.  I keep waking up and I'm kind of restless..." you whispered and snuggled into him. You breathed a sigh of relief as soon as his scent hit your senses. "Will you lie down with me?"  you asked quietly without moving away from him, after a moment you lifted your head to look at his face.

He smiled and reached his hand to your cheek to stroke it.  "Yes.  Have you had a drink yet?" When you nodded your head, he grabbed your hand "Come on" and pulled you towards your bedroom.  He stopped in front of the door and waited for you to open it.

When you did, you walked in together and he closed the door behind you.  "Jump in" he nodded towards the bed which made you blush slightly and got under the covers, sat down and patted the spot next to you.

Jungkook walked over to the bed and carefully laid down next to you.  You lay there for a while and stared at him until you heard his loud sigh.

"You know you don't have to just watch?" he whispered. "You can cuddle."

"But I... wouldn't want to hurt you." You said quietly, glancing at his bandaged torso.

"I guarantee you I'll be fine.  I'm not that fragile.  Come on." He slowly raised his arm, waiting for you to move closer to him so he could hug you.

You lifted your head gently and smiled sweetly seeing the calm, innocent face of the brunet who was still sleeping.  You looked down at his chest and swallowed.  Now, in daylight, there was much more to be seen.  Some of the scars were really distinctive, like from a knife or a bullet.  You swallowed and brushed away all those disturbing scenarios because you really had no idea what was going on in his life.  And if he said he wasn't ready to talk about it, you weren't going to push it.

"Good morning, baby." He purred and you felt his hand stroke your shoulder.

"Good morning." You replied a bit embarrassed and with a sweet, innocent smile rose to a sitting position. "I'll make us breakfast. What do you want?"  you asked and Jungkook pushed himself up on his elbows and swallowed.

"What do I want?" he repeated and fixed you with a look that felt like you were burning from the inside out. You blinked nervously. "Sandwiches will do."
