Forbidden Love (Jungkook FF)

Part 2

  It was 7 a.m., and the morning sunlight gently peeked through the curtains as someone slept peacefully.

"Wake up, Doll."

Every morning, YN awoke to this soothing voice. Her stepbrother, Jungkook, was stroking her hair gently, admiring her as she slept. To the world, YN wasn't considered extraordinary in terms of beauty, but in Jungkook's eyes, she was the most beautiful girl he'd ever known. Her appearance was lovely, but what truly captivated him was her soul—her kindness, selflessness, and inner strength. She always put others before herself. Though strong in front of others, YN's walls crumbled only in front of him.

"Mm... what time is it?" she asked groggily, her voice still heavy with sleep.

"It's 7:00 a.m., Doll," Jungkook responded, his voice low and affectionate.

With a deep sigh, YN stretched and then flashed her best smile. "Good morning, Sugar."

Jungkook's heart swelled at the nickname she had given him. She only ever called him 'Sugar' because, despite his cold exterior with everyone else, he was always sweet to her. "Morning, Doll," he murmured, kissing her forehead—a gesture she had grown used to over the years. It was something he always did, a sign of the deep affection he felt for her.

"Freshen up. Mom's calling us for breakfast," he said softly, reluctantly pulling away.

A little while later, the two descended the stairs together.

"Good morning, my beautiful parents!" YN greeted them with her usual warm smile, hugging them both.

"Good morning, my children," Mrs. Jeon replied, beaming at her.

YN kissed both her parents' cheeks, while Jungkook merely gave them a small nod, as usual. He had never been one to show much emotion around others, reserving his soft side exclusively for YN.

As Mr. Jeon sipped his coffee, he announced, "We're heading to Europe for two weeks on a business trip, so Jungkook, take care of yourself and YN while we're gone."

"Another business trip?" YN asked, her voice tinged with mild annoyance.

"I'm sorry, sweetie," Mrs. Jeon apologized. "You know how it is. Your father has to handle the meetings, and Jungkook can't handle everything on his own."

"Don't worry, my daughter," Mr. Jeon said, smiling at YN. "Jungkook will keep you entertained. You won't feel lonely."

"Of course," Jungkook added with a smirk that made YN roll her eyes playfully.

"When are you leaving?" YN asked.

"Today. We'll be gone before you get back from university," Mr. Jeon said.

She sighed but nodded. "Alright then, I'll head to class." She turned toward Jungkook, who stood up from the table. "Are you dropping me off?"

Jungkook simply nodded, and soon they were in the car. He opened the door for her, always the gentleman.

"Thank you, brother," YN said, flashing him a teasing smile. She knew how much it irritated him whenever she called him that, though she didn't understand why.

"Doll," he said firmly, his intense gaze locking onto hers.

"Sowwie," she pouted playfully, making it nearly impossible for Jungkook to resist the urge to kiss her. He shut the door with a smirk and slid into the driver's seat.

The drive to the university was peaceful, with soft music playing in the background. When they finally arrived, YN reached for the door handle, but before she could get out, Jungkook grabbed her wrist.
