Chapter 17

[y/n's pov]:

"y/n?", the husky voice called out, grabbing my attention and making me look in that direction. My eyes widened in shock as I found Jimin and Taehyung standing over there watching us. I quickly took a step away from Jungkook as I felt Taehyung's gaze fixed on me.

For some reason, I felt a sense of guilt running through my body making it hard for me to look straight at Taehyung in the eyes.

"I-"

"Are you alright?", I got cut short by Taehyung's sudden question.

I looked back at him as he continued, "You took a while to return so I came to check up on you", Taehyung explained as his eyes scanned me and then diverted towards Jungkook who was standing there, with a blank face as if nothing ever happened between us.

I peeked a glance at Jungkook's face from the corner of my eye and replied, "Yeah, I am alright. I just needed...some fresh air". Jungkook felt my eyes on him and glanced at me, making me immediately look away from him.

A smirk appeared on his face as he noticed my actions. "Should we head back then?", Taehyung asked, grabbing my attention. "Ah..y-yeah", I took a few steps forward towards him. I stood beside Taehyung and his eyes narrowed at me.

"What happened to your neck?", he asked.

"What?"

"Your neck. There's a red mark."

I shut my mouth and looked at him in shock, scared if he figured out what it was. I quickly placed a hand over my neck and smoothly covered the exposed area with my hair. It felt like my heart would explode if he asked more about it. I lowered my gaze and looked away from him attempting to dodge his pessimistic stare as well as his questions.

"Ah..t-that..I don't know...might be a mosquito bite", I stuttered with my reply and came up with a lame excuse. But what else was I supposed to say? I couldn't think of anything at that moment. "A mosquito bite?", he repeated, lifting an eyebrow. "Ah..yeah", I said, forcing a quick smile at him.

He stared at me silently for a while and spoke up again, "Let's get going then, Mom and Dad are still waiting for us", he said, and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. My eyes widened a bit in surprise at the sudden warm touch. I looked at him in shock as he leaned in closer to my ear and whispered, "We are a couple here." He reminded me and I slightly nodded my head in agreement as we walked.

[Author's pov]:

Jungkook watched Taehyung and y/n take their leave from behind. Suddenly, his lips curled upward into a mischievous smirk as he took his hand out of his trouser pocket and rubbed the corner of his lips using his thumb. "You can't run away from me, little kitty", he whispered in a low tone.

His eyes had a fierce determination in them to get his hands on something and claim it.

#Skiptime: a month later:

[Y/n's pov]:

A sigh escaped my lips as I walked through the corridor and made my way towards the classroom. Since that dinner party at Taehyung's place, I haven't encountered any of them again neither Taehyung nor Jungkook.

And to be honest, I am happy about it. It feels like my normal life is back. I have started going to the university again and everything is going quite well. Everything is going on way too smoothly in my life that even I can't believe how my life suddenly got this peaceful. After all the tragic incidents I went through in the past few months I gave up on the hope of living a normal life again. It just feels unrealistic.
