Chasing You..

Ch - 24 One Step Closer

Jungkook's pov

I woke to the sound of Britney Spears' voice blasting near my ear. I winced and flinched away from the sound as Taehyung groaned loudly, shifting and pressing his face into the side of my neck. His hand blindly slapped onto his bedside cabinet, looking for something. I smiled, a little confused, then I realised he was reaching for his cell phone. I laughed as I noticed what the Britney song actually was, 'Womanizer' was blasting way too loud for this time of the morning.

Finally, he found it and pressed it to his ear without moving his face away from my neck. He didn't bother with any hellos. "This had better be important or I'm gonna kick your ass," he growled into the phone, his voice thick with sleep.

I laughed and wrapped my arms around him tighter, kissing the top of his head as I blinked, trying to get my stinging eyes to adjust to the light in the room.

"Heck yeah you woke me up! What time is it anyway?" he asked, then he groaned again. "Seojoon, I hardly ever get to sleep in, let alone sleep in with an incredibly hot guy, and you have to wake me up at seven thirty? Seriously, do you not know me at all?"

My muscles tightened unconsciously at the mention of Seojoon. I closed my eyes as he pushed himself away from me and sat up, rubbing a hand over his face.

"Yeah, he's here. Why so interested? I don't think he swings that way, but I'll ask him, if you want," he teased, laughing at Seojoon's response. Suddenly he frowned, looking a little shocked at whatever Seojoon'd said.

"What? No! I told you last night that I was busy today. No, I can't rearrange. Look, just call your mom back and tell her that her son's an idiot and was obviously too drunk to remember the agreement that we made last night. No, I said that I'd call her for coffee. Seojoon, you're supposed to be working today!" he scoffed at something he said.

"Well he's at Jimin's all day anyway so you can't. If you wanted to see him today then you should have told me last night and I could have arranged for him to be here for you! Oh, don't try and blame this on me. I wasn't the one that cancelled anything, remember?"

He was quiet for a bit, listening to him speak before he sighed and shrugged.

"Look, I don't care, okay? Let's just leave it for now. If you want him next weekend then that's fine with me. Just call me in the week and we'll arrange it. Okay, well just pick him up Saturday morning then instead of Friday night if you're working. Yeah, it's fine. No, he'd love to see you too, just don't cancel again, please?" he begged, closing his eyes and biting on his lip.

"I know you do, I just hate seeing his face when it happens. I know you have to work. Hold up, I never said it was your fault, I'm just telling you what he sees."

He looked at me apologetically, and I forced a smile, putting my hand on his knee, rubbing circles on his soft skin with my thumb. He spoke to him for another minute, then disconnected the call and pushed his phone back onto the side, his eyes looking at the clock before he shook his head angrily.

"I hate mornings," he mumbled, settling himself back down against me, resting his chin on my chest looking up at me with his beautiful brown eyes. "Sorry about that, I think he was still drunk. He was asking what time I was going to his mom's for dinner today with Han."

I stroked the back of his head. His hair was all messy and tangled – though it still managed to look incredible. "Maybe he was too drunk to remember that you told him you were busy with your new boy toy," I joked.

He smiled and dipped his head, kissing my chest lightly. "Boy toy, I actually like that almost as much as Taetae's bitch."

"Am I ever going to live that down?"
