Collision of Hearts || Jikook✓

Part-3

"Hello, Princess Bella."

He said, his voice was smooth and teasing.

I looked at him with irritation, how he was addressing me, Just yesterday, he wouldn't even acknowledge me, and look at him today... now this?

He bent down slightly and extended his hand toward me. I glanced from his hand to his face. With a subtle motion of his eyes, he gestured for me to take it. I took a deep breath and placed my hand in his. He helped me to my feet—but the moment I stood up, he pulled me closer, I gasped as I nearly colliding with his chest.

Our eyes locked as he looked at me intensely. "Pretty as always." he murmured.

My heart skipped a beat at his words, but as soon as I realized how close we were, I quickly shoved him away. "What the hell!" I snapped.

Jungkook chuckled, sliding both hands into the pockets of his track pants. "Oh Bella, I give you a compliment and look at you! How rude, huh?"

I glared at him. I knew this tone of his too well—flirty, cocky, and exactly the kind of talk I couldn't stand. "Don't you dare flirt with me, Jeon Jungkook, or I swear I'll show you your place." I warned, pointing a firm finger at him.

He smirked again, raising a brow. "Not less than a living heaven… but full of attitude. Uhhm."

I clenched my jaw in frustration. I then turned around, ready to walk away, but stopped in my tracks when I heard his voice behind me.

"See ya again... pretty Heaven."

I froze, my fists clenching. He called me Heaven. That name—he didn't know what it meant to me. He didn't know it was the nickname my mom gave me, the one no one else ever used.

I closed my eyes, overwhelmed with frustration, then bolted forward, running even faster than before.

Behind me, Jungkook smirked and turned to leave in the opposite direction.

I came back from jogging and sat on the edge of my bed, my mind replaying Jungkook's words on a loop. "It's only been one day since I came back, and he's already pissing me off." I muttered.

I closed my eyes in frustration, rubbing my temples. "Why am I even thinking about him this much? Ugh, I don't care what he does."

Shaking off the thoughts, I stood up abruptly and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.

Jungkook's POV

I came back after jogging, towel in hand and sweat still clinging to my skin. Just as I was about to head upstairs, I heard Dad call out, "Jungkook."

I stopped in my tracks and turned slightly, "Yes, Dad?"

He walked over to me and said, "I'll handle the meeting with the UK investors today. You and Jimin go visit the site area. It's important we see it ourselves before moving forward with any investment. Jimin has already left for the office.... pick him up from there."

I nodded. "Got it." I replied before heading up to my room to get ready.

I dressed in fitted black pants paired with a matching belt, and instead of a formal coat, I slipped on a soft, black-and-white combo sweatshirt... comfy, yet presentable. Since the day didn't involve office work, just a site visit, the casual look felt right. I ran my fingers through my hair, styling it neatly while leaving a strand of bangs falling casually on my forehead.
