Chapter 21 - Confusion

Jungkook woke up first, he did it on purpose just to witness Chaeyoung's sleep. It was a sight for sore eyes, she looks peaceful...

"For someone who didn't want to share a bed with me, you sure are enjoying it...", he said to himself as he looked at Chaeyoung, who, as if by magic, happened to have his cheeks on his bare chest, which, as far as he could remember, had been covered by his coat last night. One of her hands was slipped around his waist, while the other held firmly to the hem of his clothes.

He tried to adjust his body so he could admire her sleeping face more, but the moment he moved, she wriggled closer to him. He smiled, it looks like she likes his warmth. Jungkook started stroking her hair, then looked deeply into the details of her face, identifying each mole and admiring her flawless and smooth skin. It was something he wanted to do for a long time. His eyes then found her lips and stayed there, so plump and tempting, he gulped thinking about kissing them.

"Just a peck, she won't know... ", he debated whether to steal a kiss or not, in the end, the urge and the seduction of her lips took over, and he leaned to capture them...

"Open the door!", his father's voice was heard from the outside, he kept hitting on the door.

The noise ruined Chaeyoung's sleep. When she opened her eyes Jungkook held his breath,  did she catch him?

"Who is that...", she asked through her slumber. Jungkook sighed quietly relieved that she was still under the spell of sleep.

"Stay in bed I'll deal with it... ", and although he didn't want to, he hardly left her side.

Jungkook stepped out, closing the door behind him, slowly so as not to make a noise. His father was standing there with Sejeong, at the edge of their patience.

"Finally,  I hope you two had a good sleep... "

"It would have been better if you didn't disturb us...", he said with a note of sarcasm.

"Where is Jeongkook? Where is my son?", Sejeong said hastily, there wasn't time for their hostility and jokes

"Am I, not your son too?", Jungkook asked her back, how can she favor one son for another? Doesn't she consider him her son too?

"Your mother is just emotional...  We were in the hospital and Jeongkook isn't there...", Doyoung stood up for her. Jungkook needs to understand the effect the last events had on her.

"Jeongkook is in a safer place now and since we all know who is who, can I return to my wife?", he was openly showing his disinterest in being there.

"Quit it! What was the need to lie?",

"I have my reasons, just know that they found out about us being twins, and tried to kill him in your so-called safe hospital...,"

His father shook his head not believing,   "It's impossible! Only a few knew about that part of the clinic... ", he was sure he had taken care of every detail making a secret wing of their clinic where he hid his son.

"Only a few and the snitch, we have a rat in the palace...", he revealed which shocked both his parents

"How came? Every single person here is meticulously selected...", it was hard to accept that he made a possible haze, or maybe someone was corrupted,  " I'll take care of this, we will find him or her no matter what... ",

"There is no need, Mingyu is taking care of it...", Doyoung was again taken aback by Jungkook being a step ahead

"Mingyu? From how long has he been working with you?", he asked with a frown
