"“YEJI!” you screamed into your phone, pacing back and forth as the call connected.

“Woman… calm down,” Yeji sighed, already biting her lips knowing the explosion was coming.

“CALM DOWN? Yeji, what in the actual hell was that book you sent me? SMUT? You donkey!” You were fuming, half-shocked, half-horrified.

“Hehe, well… it’s fun though, right? You should just read it.” Yeji’s nonchalance made you want to throw your phone at the wall.

“FUN? Do you even realize what was written in there?! Oh god—WAIT!” A horrifying realization dawned on you. “This book… isn’t this the same one you were reading with such a serious face last week?! You devil!”

Yeji laughed evilly, “Ynie, babe, just read it. You’ll enjoy it.”

“Enjoy?! The book has smut in every damn chapter! I feel like I need holy water after each page.” You groaned as Yeji laughed louder.

“So what? The way it’s written is pure art. You need to appreciate the craft, Y/N.”

“Yeji, tell me honestly… do you watch those things too?” you asked, hesitant but curious.

“Ew, no! I’m strictly a reader. I have no interest in visiting those things in real life.” She said it like a proud declaration.

“Well… thank god for that.”

“Anyway, I’m hanging up. Read it or return it to me tomorrow, okay? Byeee~” she giggled before you could scold her more.

“WAIT, Yeji—don’t you dare hang up!” You yelled, but she was gone.

Suddenly, you felt a warm pair of arms encircling your waist.

“Sweetheart, why are you yelling?” Jungkook’s deep, soft voice vibrated against your back, his chin resting on your shoulder with concern.

You stilled. “Nothing… just Yeji being Yeji,” you muttered, trying to act normal.

His eyes fell on the book resting on the table. “What’s this? A new book? You’re into reading now?” He reached to grab it, but you swiftly snatched it back like it was a top-secret file.

“I’m still reading it!” You squeaked, hugging it to your chest.

Jungkook cocked an eyebrow, amused by your defensive stance. “Huh… seems interesting. Let me see what kind of book my wife reads, hmm?”

He reached out again.

“No! Kookie, I’m tired. Let’s sleep, okay? I’ll give you all my books tomorrow,” you said, eyes wide with a forced smile.

He narrowed his eyes but gave up, ruffling your hair with a smirk. “Alright, we’ll see tomorrow, sweetheart.”

Next Morning…

“Mrs. Jeon, it’s okay, really. I’m fine!” Yeji smiled nervously, sitting on the couch, sipping tea as if she wasn’t about to get murdered.

“Aigoo, you must stay for breakfast, dear. I’ll call Y/N,” Mrs. Jeon said with a knowing smile, clearly entertained by the energy of your friendship.

Moments later, you stormed into the living room.

“YEJI, YOU PERVERT!” you yelled, glaring daggers at her.

Yeji jumped up, squealing as she ran behind the sofa. “Ynie, please! Let’s talk this out like mature adults!”

“Oh, now you want maturity? Come out here, you demon!” you huffed, hands on your hips.

Yeji peeked from behind the couch, her face guilty yet mischievous.

“What’s happening here?” Jungkook entered, looking between the two of you with a confused smile.

“Sir! Please save me from your wife! She’s out for blood this early in the morning!” Yeji dramatically pleaded, hiding behind the couch like a hostage.

Jungkook looked at you, then at Yeji, completely lost. “Sweetheart… what happened?”

“She ate my choco,” you lied smoothly, avoiding eye contact.

Yeji choked on her laughter, understanding exactly why you were embarrassed.

“Oh yeah, sir, nothing serious. We were just talking about—”

“Yeji, aren’t you getting late?!” you cut her off sharply, your glare sharp enough to send her straight to the exit.

Jungkook watched as you marched to the room, grabbed the book, and shoved it into Yeji’s hands, all while keeping your smile painfully polite.

“Bye, Yeji! See you later!” you sang sweetly as you practically shoved her out.

As the door shut, Jungkook’s eyes narrowed.

“Wait a minute… isn’t that the book you were reading last night? You said you’d let me read it.”

You froze, mentally cursing.

“H-hubby, I have other books too! Better ones! I’ll give you those to read, hmm?” you stammered, avoiding his gaze as you made a beeline for the kitchen.

Jungkook followed you, smirking. He leaned on the kitchen counter, arms crossed, watching you with that knowing glint in his eyes.

“Sweetheart…” his tone was teasing. “You’re hiding something from your Kookie, aren’t you?”

You tried to keep a straight face, busying yourself with the snack tray.

“Let’s have snacks, shall we?” you said, pretending everything was normal.

Jungkook chuckled, walking over and trapping you between the counter and his body. “One day, Y/N, I’ll find out what was in that book… and when I do, you’ll be the one reading it to me.”

You gawked at him, flustered as your cheeks burned.

He leaned in, voice soft against your ear, “I bet you’d sound cute reading those… smut scenes.”

“AISH! GO AWAY!” you yelled, pushing him away while Jungkook laughed heartily, amused by your adorable reactions.
