Mafia Fate | Jeon Jungkook x OC ✔️

Chapter 38

Yeri's POV

When my eyes opened, I found myself in an unfamiliar place under an unfamiliar ceiling. My eyes adjusted to the dark after a few moments.

Where was I?

My mind wasn't properly working so I closed my eyes again and took in a few deep breaths to get my mind to fully wake up and grasp the situation.

I opened my eyes again and this time I could see and think clearly. I looked around slowly and my eyes landed on something - or rather, someone.

"Jungkook?"

My voice came out low.

I sat up and soon realized that I wasn't in an unfamiliar place at all. I was still in Jungkook's home, in the lounge.

But why was everything dark?

When Jungkook looked at me, I stood up and walked towards him. I sat beside him on the sofa he was sitting on and looked at him.

"Jungkook, you're home."

He turned to me and gave me weak smile. But something was very, very wrong.

"I'm home," he said in a low voice and hugged me.

I wrapped my own arms around him and we held each other.

"When did you come back?"

There was a pause.

"A while ago."

"Have you been sitting here since then?"

He nodded.

"But why is it so dark?"

"The maids told me you fell asleep. They came to wake you up but seeing you sound asleep, they left."

"Have I been sleeping for that long?"

I was unsure.

Jungkook nodded.

"They also told me you were asking about me," he said.

I nodded; as if it wasn't too obvious.

"How couldn't I? You were gone for too long. I know you can take care of yourself because you are a grown ass man but that doesn't mean I don't get to ask about you."

He looked at me without saying a word. But why wasn't he saying anything? For some reason, I felt anxious.

Before I knew it, my body had moved on my own so that my lips were resting on Jungkook's.

I closed my eyes and kissed him. But Jungkook didn't kiss back. Not this time.

I opened my eyes and Jungkook was looking away.

Something was very wrong.

"Jungkook?" I asked in a low voice.

He looked at me but remained quiet.

"Jungkook, what's wrong?" I asked. "Talk to me."

He kept looking at me as if he was trying to memorize my face or something.

And then he sighed.

"Nothing's wrong," he replied.

But I could see through him.

"So if nothing's wrong then why didn't you kiss me back?"

"I told you, nothing is wrong."

He was trying to convince himself - it seemed - for some reason.

"Okay, so if I kiss you right now would you kiss me back?"

He said nothing so I moved in an attempt to kiss him. Jungkook flinched and moved back.
