The End of Us! [JK x Reader]

Chapter Nine (1/2)

                   "Y/N? Y/N! ARE YOU STILL SLEEPING?" A loud, relentless knock shattered the peaceful silence of the morning as Ji-Yeong's voice boomed from the other side of the door

I groaned into my pillow. My eyes still heavy with sleep, but with a heavy sigh, I rolled out of bed, rubbing my tired eyes before dragging myself toward the door

"I'm up" I muttered, opening it just enough to see his impatient face

"My friends will be here in an hour and a half. You should get ready" Ji-Yeong informed me, crossing his arms

I tilted my head slightly, watching him up and down as he dared to cross his arms in front of me, but didn't say anything, and lazily nodded

"I'll be downstairs soon"

Satisfied with my answer, he gave a small nod and left for his room

I sighed again and turned back inside, reaching for the small wicker basket of roses my personal maid left for me every morning. Running my fingers over the soft petals, I sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for Jungkook to finish his time in the bathroom

As I waited, I absentmindedly scrolled through my phone

But just as I was about to lose my patient, I heard the door creak open. Glancing up, my eyes widened slightly at the unexpected sight before me

Jungkook stood in the doorway, a white towel slung low around his hips, leaving his upper body completely bare. Droplets of water trailed down his defined chest, disappearing beneath the cloth at his waist. His hair was damp, some strands falling onto his forehead

It was the first time I had ever seen him like this

'How did I never notice how ridiculously hot he is?' My thoughts betrayed me, as I shamelessly drank in the sight of his toned abs and sharp collarbones

My gaze lingered longer than it should have, and I didn't even realize I was staring until a deep chuckle pulled me out of my trance

"Are you enjoying the view, sweetheart?" Jungkook's voice was rich with amusement, a teasing smirk playing on his lips

But instead of feeling embarrassed, I met his gaze with my own smirk "I am... but trust me, if that little towel wasn't in the way, I would enjoy it even more"

The confidence in my tone caught him off guard. His smirk faltered, his eyes widening slightly before he quickly broke the eye contact

I chuckled at his reaction, shaking my head slightly 'So, Mr. Jeon could dish it out, but he couldn't handle the heat?'

Not wanting to push him too far, I got up from the bed and walked past him toward the bathroom. But just as I reached the doorway, I paused, tilting my head slightly before flashing him a teasing wink

And the second I closed the bathroom door behind me, I let out a quiet laugh. The way his cheeks had turned red was absolutely priceless

After a quick shower, I dressed in a crisp white full-sleeved crop top paired with wide-leg jeans

Just as I stepped back into the bedroom, I noticed Jungkook fixing the files in his office bag. He had also changed into his usual business attire, fitted slacks, a button-down, and a sleek blazer

"Are you going to the office?" I asked, raising an eyebrow

He just hummed in reply without even looking up

"But it's Saturday" I pointed out, frowning. In the past four months, I had never once seen him work on the weekends

"It is..." he confirmed, finally glancing at me "but something urgent came up"
