"Please lord...don't let him know that I am still awake", I thought to myself as I turned stiff but what happened next stunned me. He silently sat down beside me on the bed. I could feel his gaze fixed on me.

The moon cast a soft glow through the curtains, illuminating the room as he quietly slipped into the bed. The soft cotton sheets embraced his weary body, as he gently nestled himself beside her.

With utmost care, he reached out and tenderly wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him, their bodies fitting together as if they were made to be intertwined. Y/n was left in utter shock by the sudden embrace. She didn't expect him to be so affectionate. And chose to continue the act and pretended to be asleep.

In the quiet stillness of the night, their breathing synchronized, creating a soothing rhythm that filled the room. With each passing moment, his embrace grew tighter, as if he was trying to merge their souls into one. She felt his breath on her neck, and his heartbeat on her back.

The world outside faded away as they lay there, their hearts beating in unison. At that moment, for the first time, she felt a sense of relief wash over her as if she was safe and sound in his arms. The warmth of their embrace ignited a spark of intimacy, radiating through every touch.

She wondered what he was thinking, what he was feeling. Is he tired? She didn't turn around nor did she move in her place. She just chose to stay quiet and before she could think anything any further, she heard him snore softly. He had fallen asleep while holding her tight. She realized that he was exhausted and that he probably didn't even know what he was doing. He might just be acting on instinct, seeking comfort and warmth in her body, and didn't really care about her, he just needed a place to rest.

#timeskip: next morning: [Y/n's pov]:

I opened my eyes slowly, feeling the warmth of the sun on my face. The first thing that I did was look to the side, expecting Jungkook there, but he was gone. The pillow was cold and empty. And then I heard a knock at the door.

"Miss, may I come in?", The feminine voice asked and I replied with a yes. Soon, the door opened revealing the maid from yesterday standing there with a soft smile curved on her lips.

"I hope you slept well", she said and started approaching me. "I did", I replied.

"Master is waiting for you downstairs so get ready and head downstairs", she said, looking at my messed up self.

Upon hearing that, I quickly averted my gaze back at the clock and realized it was already 8:30 a.m. I still need to head to the university. I quickly got out of the bed and walked towards the bathroom.

Half an hour later:

As I descended the stairs, I could hear the clinking of silverware and the soft murmur of the voices. But soon my eyes widened at the sight before me, Jungkook was sitting at the head of the long dining table while a group of maids and servants were all standing sideways, serving him his breakfast.

I stopped in my tracks. This was my first time witnessing something like this...this many people to serve one man?

I hesitated for a while, unsure of what to do. I silently looked at the view before me but then I felt a gaze stuck on me, as if someone was looking in my direction. As I looked to the side, I found Jungkook already looking back at me.

Our eyes met, and for a minute I felt a shiver run down my spine. He stared at me for a while, his gaze intense and unwavering. And then, slowly, a smirk formed on his lips.
