PRINCE | A JIKOOK FF |

| Chapter : 32 |

Jimin

I tiredly open my eyes, slowly waking up. As my vision cleared, I noticed my surroundings and felt a weight on my waist. I look down and see an arm wrapped around me. I looked at it, confused as my sleepiness was still in my eyes. I touched my shoulder and did not feel my dress. My eyes open further and I grab the cover pulling it up to look under it. My eyes widen as I find myself naked, a gasp leaves my lips. Tiredness and sleepiness fade away and I start getting flashbacks. 

Warmth rises up my cheeks and ears as I let go of the cover making it fall on my naked body again. I looked at the arm which was wrapped around my waist as I bit my lower lip. His arm looked so good and manly and fine and, and.. so- 

"Fetched your memory back, love?" Embarrassment and shock filled my body as the deep voice echoed around the room. I bit back a scream when he turned me towards him with his arm so that I was facing him. I looked at him with wide eyes as he responded with a kiss on my lips. He tasted so good which made me blush. He looked at me "You okay?" I nod "You didn't kiss me back." He says, his tone holding dissatisfaction. 

"You pulled away too quickly." He chuckled and came closer "Apologies, love." He kissed me again and this time, I kissed him back. It was soft, gentle, soothing. It contained so much love that it was so hard to let go but I had to, for oxygen. 

Damn oxygen, is always in the way. 

"Your back alright?" I moved a bit to test as a tiny pain hit my spinal cord "Not that bad but yeah, it hurts." He nods and places a kiss on my cheek "I will massage it for you." "You don't have to-" "I have to." A smile creeps on my lips as I nod. He grabbed the cover and was about to pull it down when I grabbed his wrist to stop him, my cheeks flushing red "I am not wearing my clothes." His confusion changes to a teasing expression with a playful smirk on his lips "I've already witnessed everything yesterday." My cheeks burned more as he winked at me. 

He slid the covers down to my hips, my skin shivering as the air hit it. My breasts were visible to him which he was already staring at "Lay on your stomach, Jimin." He says and I follow, laying on my stomach and my head, on the pillow. I felt him sit up as his hands touched my back making my body shiver "Your skin's so smooth." He says softly. "Thank you." "You're welcome." 

I bit my lower lip as silence took over the room. Should I ask him? Should I do it now? Wouldn't it be too discomfiting? I shake my thoughts off. I need to. We HAVE to discuss this. I take a deep breath. You can do this, Jimin—just a simple conversation.  

"About yesterday-" I say

"Yesterday-" He says

We both start at the same time... I guess, we both want to talk about this. "You can go ahead." He says, bringing me back to reality from my thoughts. I nod and exhale before speaking "Well... This thing which happened between us.." I face my head towards him and nod between us which he returns with a patient nod "What does it make us?" His hands stop moving on my back "Specify, love." He says in a low tone as a flashback shoots my head. 

"Please..." I beg and let out an embarrassing whine "Specify love." I bit my lower lip as I looked at him with begging eyes "I want you, Jungkook... I want you all over me-"

I snapped myself out of my thoughts as I felt warmth climbing up my cheeks. I exhale again before saying "The thing we did yesterday, the kiss yesterday, the morning kiss a while ago, and massaging me now.. As extensively as I know, this is not something a prince and a maiden do." He nods, his lips pursing into a thin line "I'm aware." I frown my eyebrows together looking at him in disbelief "Then wh-" My sentence was cut off mid-way with his lips crashing onto mine. 

My eyes slowly closed, melting in the kiss. Our lips move in sync as he gently turns my body so that I am lying on my back. He hovers over me, caging my legs between his as his hands trace my bare curves, stopping at my hips, he lifts the covers above my chest and below my collarbone. He breaks the kiss and looks at me while I look at him with needy eyes, my breath heavy and fast. He shakes his head and closes my eyes with his palm 

"Calm down, love. Your back is still in pain." He keeps his palm on my eyes as I part my lips and whisper "You didn't respond to my concern yet." I heard him sigh as he spoke "Wanna know the truth?" I nod "Words." "Yes, I want to." His demanding tone just does things to me, I swear it's unhealthy. He places a kiss on the tip of my nose and then on my cheeks, ears, forehead, and jaw. My lips dry when he skipped my lips and went for my jaw instead

"I love you, Jimin... I tried holding my feelings back but no... It was too hard to.." My lips slightly part at his words as he moves his palm away and I open my eyes looking at him while he continues "The day I began neglecting you? I presumed that this could be the only prospect for my feelings for you to fade but I was so fucking wrong. I couldn't just get you out of my head.. It took me to the point where I memorized everything of yours. The dress you wore, the color of it. The hairstyle you kept. The slightest quiver of your body. The way you spoke, the way you ate, the way you walked, just.. everything..." 

"Yes, it was so very annoying and I wanted to stop- No, I wanted it to stop. I just desired that I could just forget about you.. but it was too challenging. Day and night, all I could think of was you. I wanted to go ahead and focus on my training but without you out of my head, I couldn't focus. Jimin.. I.. I tried. And I apprehend that it's going to be a no from your side, but all you have to be mindful of is, I love you. And now, I don't mourn a single bit of it." 

I shake my head, tears forming in my eyes. Hell, they already started falling out before I could even stop them. "I love you too, Jungkook... I love you too and neither do I mourn a single bit of it." He smiled so wide and dazzlingly, coming close to my face and kissing me on the lips. 

And this time... 

All of these, the kiss, the tenderness, the love... All felt so right.
