Jagiya.. // Moonjo x Jongwoo

Chapter 11: Car ride (2)

Jongwoo's POV

We had took off for a while and I've been staring at the scenery outside for a while. Moonjo has been quiet, really focused on the road. Is he avoiding me after he literally kissed me?

"Moonjo, are you thirsty?" "Oh-huh?" He replied hesitantly, clearly not expecting to talk. "I mean do you want anything to drink? I'll try to find it for you" "oh yeah.. water is okay" I reached to get a bottle for Moonjo and uncapped it, handing it to Moonjo.

He thanked me for the water and drank it quickly. "Oh-let me get it" I quickly took the bottle away from him as soon as he finished it and put the lid back on. I wanted to ask him about the kiss yesterday but I was pretty hesitant.

Suddenly there were tension in the car, I felt like I need to get it out of my chest to release the tension. I opened my mouth to speak but then closed it back as I got nervous. "you want to talk about something?" Moonjo asked me casually, his eyes still on the road.

"Uhm.. about the you know.. kiss last night.. why?" The car suddenly stopped, I glanced in front and we were in front of a red light. Moonjo glanced at me, looking at me directly in my eyes. Oh gosh

He smiled at me, "because I like you. Didn't I tell you that already, babe?" He said casually, still smiling. "I mean yeah but I thought you're joking" "I never joke about something like that, jagiya" he said, fixing his eyes back onto the road as the light turned green.

I had millions questions in my mind. There's just too many to ask, the first one being; why does he like me? How did he find me.. and so many more. I was so lost in my thought until I realized that I was being called so many time.

"Jagiya, babe. Are you alright?" He said to me. "Are you hungry? I could pull up into a restaurant" "oh-no it's okay! I'm not hungry yet" "alright, make sure to tell me when you're hungry okay? I don't want to starve you" he took a quick glance at me and smiled.

My stomach was filled with butterflies, thousands of them. I was supposed to earn his trust, not fall for him. I sighed which earned another concern look from Moonjo. I leaned my head against the window, sleep deprivation finally made me tired. I slowly doze off and finally the darkness welcome me.

Moonjo's POV

It was awhile and Jongwoo has been awfully quiet. I stopped at a red light and glanced at the passenger seat, seeing Jongwoo sleeping. I guess he didn't get enough sleep either. I reached for the blanket in the backseat and carefully put it on Jongwoo, stroking his hair gently afterwards.

I sighed as I turned away from him and began driving again. While driving, I kept taking glances at him and he looked so peaceful, his lips parted a little bit and softly snoring making me almost impossible to hold back.

I kept thinking about how I kissed him last night, I wanted to do more however I wouldn't want to do anything against his will. I wanted to kiss him again, I wanna explore every inch of him, mark him, being inside of him while he moans my name.

I sighed and I decided to pull into a drive through to buy some food for him. Although we have snacks but those are filling food. I ordered him food and some for myself and paid. After that, I parked at a parking lot to quickly finished off my food then continue on with the ride.

I was planning on making this trip the best time Jongwoo has so I'm keeping everything a secret, even the duration of the stay. I've done some research and surprisingly, the Eden case never made it out to Busan meaning no one knows I'm a serial killer and I planned for it to stay that way which is why I somehow hacked into the news reporter who reported the Eden case and deleted every single news about it.

I snapped back out of my thought when I heard Jongwoo shuffling in his seat. I glanced over and it looked like he's having a nightmare. I took one of my hand off the steering wheel and gently draw circle in his thigh, trying to calm him and it worked.

Jongwoo's POV

"Mom.. I'm going to Seol" I was back to the time I decided to go to seol however this time I was the one observing myself. "No.. don't go" I tried to warn past me but he couldn't hear it. "Don't make the same mistake I did!" I yelled at past me. Then before I knew it I was in front of Eden Residence. "Turn back! You idiot turn back!" I yelled at myself.
•••••••••••••••••

I was cut off from the nightmare by the feeling of a warm hand placing on my thigh. It was Moonjo's. He was caressing it. My face heated up and I pretended to still be asleep to know what he do.

"I don't know what nightmare you are in but it's not real. You're safe with me, I won't let anyone hurt you, jagiya" Moonjo said softly. I tried not to let my expression change but internally, I was smiling and screaming like a child.

I've never felt this love, even when I was still with Ji-Eun. Ji Eun would never love me the way Moonjo does. Am I making a wrong decision by gaining his trust then breaking it just to kill him?

My eyes were still shut while thinking about my choices of life when I was brought back to reality to Moonjo's voice.

"You could have just tell me you wanted me to touch you instead of pretending to still be asleep you know?" My face heat up again but this time out of embarrassment. I slowly open my eyes to see Moonjo's eyes of course, focus on the road.

"I do not" "mhm, sure you don't babe" he took his hand off my thigh and gripped the steering wheel again. I kinda missed his touch and I unconsciously sighed. "Didn't you say you don't want me to touch you?"

I stayed silent, pretended to ignore him. "Alright.. I'm sorry babe please don't be mad." He said to me, placing his hand back on my thigh while he flashed me a smile. I looked back smiling. "I'm not mad" "that's good-oh I bought you breakfast." He said as he signaled to the back seat and I took the food and ate it.
