Mafia Fate | Jeon Jungkook x OC ✔️

Chapter 22

3rd person POV

And he meant it, every single word.

Yeri shook her head and gave him a small smile. He found confirmation on her face. He was apologetic but she had forgiven him. A part of him sighed in relief.

Slow music from the ballroom hit Jungkook's ears and he knew the party hadn't ended.

He stepped closer to Yeri and smiled faintly at her.

"Want to join me for this dance?" he asked her.

"I don't dance," she replied.

Jungkook smirked.

"What happened to "Bold of you to assume I would dance with anyone except Jungkook"?"

Yeri coughed and looked away.

Jungkook brought Yeri closer to himself in one swift move, wrapping his arms around her waist, making one of hers rest on top of his chest and the other one around his neck.

Jungkook took the lead and started dancing with Yeri in his arms. He moved her closer to him so that their faces were just inches apart.

Jungkook looked at Yeri with a sudden passion in his eyes.

"You look beautiful, Yeri."

Yeri felt herself smile.

"You don't look an inch away from sexy either."

They swayed slowly to the music.

"You should smile more often, Jungkook. It looks good on you."

Jungkook didn't say anything but kept looking at her.

In that moment he realized that he really was looking at the most beautiful woman in the world and that he couldn't take his eyes off of her even if he tried to.

"Yeri, I truly am apologetic for what I did tonight. I hope you would understand. I kind of lost my demeanor and acted on my desire. I know it made you uncomfortable but I am sorry for what I did. I am thankful you stopped me from carrying on."

Yeri moved her arm from behind his neck and cupped Jungkook's face.

"It is okay to feel things and show them from time to time, Jungkook. You realized it and that is all that matters," she told him softly and then moved closer to his face and pressed a kiss to his cheek.

Jungkook didn't do anything but kept looking at her.

When he was with Yeri, he felt alive and he liked being alive; he wanted to be alive.

And he liked it when he thought about her.

He liked seeing her talk to the workers here, from the maids to the gardeners. A part of his heart had warmed because of her. It may be small but it was there.

He didn't understand why or when he had started noticing Yeri, but he certainly did.

Maybe she didn't know, but Jungkook noticed her talking to the maids. He noticed her spending time in the garden. He noticed how she took a book from his office every few days.

But what happened tonight, Jungkook didn't know if it was just his desire or if it was something that involved his emotions.

Yeri was making Jungkook go crazy and she wasn't doing a single thing other than being herself and following his orders.

He didn't even want to imagine what she could do to him if she actually tried something.

"Jungkook, did you hear what I said?" Yeri's voice asked.
