Hand in his, you follow him inland. Jungkook leads you down a steep path towards the boathouse, ducking the gate towards the parking lot. It's late enough that his car is alone, headlights blinking as he unlocks the doors.
You trail behind, happy to do so because honestly, the sight of Jungkook in a soaked t-shirt is akin to a Regency hero. You savor the sight, grinning like crazy. Always, you used to question the good things that happened because it seemed they could fade any second. Now, you find yourself determined to live and enjoy.
The ease with which Jungkook forgives makes his trust precious. Someone like Jungkook deserves someone honest, the type of person you aspire to be. Climbing into the passenger seat, you continue to admire Jungkook as he walks to the opposite side.
He slides into the driver's seat, adjusting the seat and buckling his belt. Fixing the rearview mirror, he glances at you.
"What?" he asks, doing a double take.
"Nothing." Smiling to yourself, you shake your head. "Where are we going?"
Mischief enters his gaze. "Don't you trust me?"
"Of course, I do."
"Cool. We're going somewhere to solve our problem."
Shaking your head, you settle back as he pulls from the parking lot. Glancing around the car, a sudden thought occurs to you, and your smile widens.
Noticing this, Jungkook hums. "What are you smiling about, now?"
"I thought you said you were in the area?"
"Yep."
"Hm." Smiling broadly, you twist to face him. "Seems odd you would bring your car if you were just 'in the area,'" you say, using air quotes around the last words.
Jungkook flushes beet-read. Your ex-slash-current boyfriend is many things, but a good liar isn't one of them.
"I – fine," he admits on a groan. "I was hoping to see you and didn't want you to leave before I got to the art shop. My car was fastest."
Your grin widens. "Cute."
"We'll see who's calling who cute later," Jungkook mutters.
His words send a thrill down your spine. "Speaking of later..."
Reaching a stoplight, his head turns. "Yes?"
You wait a long beat. "Where are we going?"
Surprised, Jungkook laughs and faces forward when the light turns. "Does the art of the surprise mean nothing to you?" he teases.
"No! Surprises are mean. They're for the surpriser more than the surprised."
"Exactly." Nodding, he merges onto the main highway. "Consider this your punishment for breaking up with me."
