CHAPTER 3

Enjoy!!

Jungkook stopped his car near the temple and stepped out of his car, seeking solace in the peaceful surroundings. His mind had been preoccupied with the anklet girl, Tae, and he hoped a visit to the temple would help clear his thoughts.

As he walked towards the entrance, he hummed a soft tune, but his footsteps came to an abrupt halt when he noticed a shadowy figure ahead. His eyebrows furrowed in curiosity, he approached the figure, and his eyes landed on a girl wearing a flowing blue skirt, white top, and a blue dupatta elegantly wrapped around her neck.

The girl's back was turned to Jungkook, her focus fixed on searching for something. He approached her,and asked, "Excuse me, are you looking for something?" Tae's body stiffened, her heart skipping a beat at the sudden intrusion of a deep, masculine voice.

Jisoo's playful words from earlier echoed in her mind: "Just imagine what if someone comes to you and asks, 'Excuse me, are you looking for something?'"

Tae's grip on her skirt tightened, and she began to recite the "Hanuman Chalisa", her eyes closed in a silent prayer, as if seeking protection from this unexpected encounter.

Jungkook wondered, "Didn't she hear me?" as he received no response. He muttered to himself, perplexed. Deciding to approach her from the front, he took a step forward, but suddenly Tae turned towards him, thinking he had left. However, they collided instead, and Tae gasped, losing her balance.

Jungkook swiftly caught her by the waist, steadying her. As their bodies touched, Jungkook felt an electric current run through his body, and a familiar sensation washed over him - the same feeling he had experienced that morning. He gazed at Tae, her eyes still closed, her hair fallen over her face, obscuring her beauty.

Yet, in that instant, he knew she was the same girl who had been on his mind all day.

Jungkook was taken aback, his mind reeling in shock and surprise as he found himself face to face with the anklet girl, now cradled in his arms. The unexpected encounter left him breathless, his thoughts racing with disbelief. As if time itself had slowed, the air around them grew still, with only a gentle breeze whispering through the trees.

Jungkook's gaze remained fixed on Tae, his eyes unblinking, as her hair danced in the wind, revealing her face in all its beauty. Tae's eyes, a deep blue hazel, fluttered open, meeting the intense stare of the handsome stranger before her. Her cheeks flushed a deep crimson, not only from the piercing gaze but also from the intimate position they found themselves in.

The air was electric, their hearts beating in unison, as if fate had brought them together in this chance encounter.

Jungkook snapped back to reality, his cheeks still flushed, and gently helped Tae stand upright. "Sorry," he muttered, scratching the back of his neck, his eyes cast downward. The blood rushed to his neck and ears, making them a deep crimson, betraying his embarrassment.

Tae's gaze met his, and she couldn't help but giggle at the sight of his red ears. "It's okay," she said with a smile, her melodious voice sending Jungkook's heart racing. As she resumed her search for the anklet, Jungkook felt as though he had entered heaven, entranced by the sweet sound of her voice.

After a moment, he asked, "Are you searching for something?" Tae's gaze met his, and she nodded, her eyes clouding with concern. "I'm looking for my anklet," she replied, her voice tinged with sadness. "It was my favorite, and I have no idea where I lost one of them."

As she turned to continue her search, Jungkook gently caught her arm, halting her movement. His touch sparked a jolt of electricity, and Tae's eyes locked onto his, a silent understanding passing between them.
