In the dark

AN: Let's see what in the French Rivera happened with Jungkook.

Jungkook watched Peri's eyes close and her body go slump in his arms. He kissed up her shoulder, neck, and cheek before her head rolled back. She was completely dead weight against his body. He cupped the back of her head as he gently brought Peri's body to his mattress. "It's ok. It's ok," he whispered as he moved her. 

He felt a slight panic when he noticed she didn't stir. He quickly got up and went to his bathroom. He soaked a washcloth and brought it back to where she lay. He wiped her brow first, noticing she still wasn't moving as the cool water droplets fell onto her flushed skin. 'I might have actually killed her,' he thought. 

He moved the washcloth down to her chest. Jungkook breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed the rise and fall of her chest. Slow, equal breaths moving her lungs up and down. He moved quietly around the rest of her body, cleaning her up from the mess they had gloriously created.

Jungkook watched over Peri as she slept soundlessly. The smile on his face never faltered. Jungkook used the tips of his fingers to gently move Peri's hair out of their face so he could take in her soft and squishy features. He gave her cheek a tiny poke, watching her relaxed face curve around his finger. 'Best birthday ever,' he thought, taking in her flawless features. 'And all mine.'

His thoughts were interrupted when he heard his name being called from inside the apartment. His brows furrowed in confusion, thinking he was hearing things, but his curiosity got the best of him when he heard it again. He got up from the bed and pulled on a pair of fresh boxers from her drawer. He wanted to deal with whoever was in his apartment and get back into bed with Peri as soon as possible. That's how he wanted to spend his day: naked, in bed, and with Peri in his arms. 

"JUNGKOOK!" the unknown person called out from the lower level. 

"If you think you guys can barge in here and take my day, you are dead wrong!" Jungkook announced as he scurried down the stairs to greet his mystery guest.  

"Seriously!" His manager said from beside Jungkook's couch, his hand blocking the view from his eyes. "What is the point of having a closet full of clothes if you are not going to wear them!" Jungkook gave him his bashful bunny smile. His cheeks glowed pink in embarrassment when he realized it was his manager and not his bandmates waiting for him. Oh well, it's not like he hasn't seen Jungkook in his boxers, either. "Well, go put clothes on. The car is waiting. We have got to go," Sejin rushed. 

"What? Go? Where?" Jungkook questioned. 

"Seriously, son? Where is your head?" Sejin asked, slightly perturbed that Jungkook could forget things so easily. When he was focused, he was dead on; however, if he wasn't, Sejin knew Jungkook could stray easily. "You have to come into the company. We have a VLive to do," Sejin reminded him. 

"Shit," Jungkook mumbled under his breath. He did forget about the VLive. Where was his head, Sejin asked? It was currently upstairs, tucked in his covers. 

"Go get dressed. I'll wait for you here," Sejin ordered.

"About that," Jungkook started, with his hands in the air, ready to explain his reasoning for not going. 

"No, no, no. You know you have to do the Vlive. It's your birthday, and ARMY is expecting it."

"Yes, but..." There is a very naked girl passed out in my bed right now, and I can't exactly leave; it is what Jungkook wanted to say but did not get the chance to. 

"No buts, Jungkook. Go upstairs and get dressed. We are leaving. Besides, it won't take too long. Just say a quick hello to ARMY, and then you can go back to doing whatever it was you were doing," Sejin said with a wave of his hand, not wanting to know what Jungkook was doing in his underwear.
