Mafia Fate | Jeon Jungkook x OC ✔️

Chapter 16

Jungkook's POV

When I woke up, I found myself in an unfamiliar yet familiar room with an unfamiliar, sweet smelling bed; my bed certainly never smelled this sweet.

When I looked to my side, I found Yeri sleeping with me. I was in her room, in her bed.

Slowly lifting myself up, I sat in bed, trying my best not to wake her up. I looked at her sleeping figure. She looked beautiful and she looked peaceful.

But I knew better than to call her life peaceful. She had told me so much the previous night and I had found myself wanting to take care of her. I suddenly wanted to tell her that she had someone whom she could rely on.

Maybe because after spending an entire lifetime believing and knowing the fact that there wasn't a person in the world who understood what I felt, Yeri was the person who understood.

I had seen all the pain in her eyes when she had talked about her past and how she had left everything to live a normal life. And I had taken away that chance from her. I had taken away her chance at a normal life.

And then when I thought she would have told me to leave like she always did, she had told me to stay and then we had ended up falling asleep in her bed; together.

She had wanted me to stay with her all night. I never noticed before that moment how lonely and sad her eyes always looked. And when she told me to stay, I wanted nothing more than to take away all of her pain and turn it into joy.

Perhaps because I knew how it was like to be the only person in the world, to strengthen your own shoulders so much they were able to carry all the weight of your head and your life upon them.

A sigh escaped her beautiful lips, causing me to stare at her perfectly kissable lips a moment longer than was necessary. I found myself wanting to smile when she snuggled into the comforter.

Reaching out my hand towards her pretty face, I tucked a lose strand of hair behind her ear. She looked beautiful. Taking one last glance at her, I got out of her bed and made my way towards my own room.

After taking a shower and doing my morning routine, I got dressed for work. A few minutes later, I headed to the missions that awaited me.

Yeri's POV

When I woke up, Jungkook was gone.

I recalled the events of last night. We had gotten into bed. At first it was awkward for both of us but then I had moved closer to him and sometime during the night, I had woken up to find myself wrapped in Jungkook's arms. And I hadn't felt safer than I had felt in that moment.

Getting out of bed, I changed and made my way downstairs to eat. A maid served me my breakfast and I thanked her.

After eating, I went out in the garden and spent most of my day there. I saw different plants and the gardener told me their names and different facts and information about them.

In the evening, I read a book in the balcony. I heard a knock on the door of my room which got me out of my book and brought me back to reality.

"Come in," I said and turned around to find Jungkook standing inside my room.

"You're back."

He nodded.

"You're having dinner with me tonight so be down in five."

His voice was commanding but I could see him making efforts to make it sound even; polite.

His considerate attitude was shocking me and I wondered how long it would last for but it made me feel a little warm nonetheless.
