Hidden Embers: A Tale of Unspoken Love || JJK

Part : 03

On the other side, Jungkook also freshened up and changed his clothes before going to bed. He didn't had anything as everything around him was making him feel anxious.

The next morning, Y/n awoke and was startled by her surroundings. She quickly sat up in bed, recalling everything from the previous day: how Jungkook had assisted her with her gown's zipper and brought her pizza and a cold drink so she wouldn't go to bed hungry. She hadn't paid much attention to these details the night before, as she was very tired. But now, reflecting on it all, she felt flustered, and a smile spread across her face as she thought of him. He may be cold towards her but he's always caring. Which never fails to make her fall for him more.

Y/n got out of bed and opened the curtains, revealing the still-dark morning outside. She checked the time and saw that it was 5:38 am, her usual waking hour. Since her  parents had left her, Y/n had to manage everything herself. She stood by the window for a moment, feeling the cold breeze against her face, causing her body to shiver. She felt comfort in those breeze.

After freshening up, Y/n made her way to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for herself and Jungkook. Before entering the kitchen, she stole a glance at Jungkook, who was sleeping peacefully, looking like the precious human alive. Just seeing him brought her a sense of relaxation, as he had a way of making her forget all her troubles. She smiled softly and then left from there to make breakfast.

In the kitchen, Y/n pondered for a moment before deciding to make carrot pudding, knowing it was Jungkook's favorite, as she had heard from his dad. She also remembered that he enjoyed iced coffee and banana milk. With this in mind, she set about making iced coffee and carrot pudding for his breakfast.

Once the coffee and pudding were prepared, all that remained was to make the caramel. Lost in thoughts of Jungkook's happy face at the sight of his favorite breakfast, Y/n accidentally spilled the hot caramel on her hands. She stifled a hiss of pain, not wanting to disturb Jungkook with her clumsiness so early in the morning. Quickly, she placed her hands in a bowl of ice to soothe the burning sensation.

After composing herself, Y/n arranged everything neatly on the table before going to wake Jungkook. Seeing that it was already 7:30 am, she knew it was the right time to rouse him, as he needed to leave for the office by 8:30 am.

Y/n went to the guest room where he was supposed to be sleeping, but upon opening the door, she found it empty. Confused, she stepped inside, wondering where he could have gone. Just as she was about to call out his name, her voice caught in her throat as she saw him emerging from the bathroom, freshly showered, with water droplets dripping from his wet hair. His upper body was fully exposed, with only a towel wrapped around his lower half.

"Hey!!!" Jungkook exclaimed, quickly covering his upper body upon noticing her presence. Y/n realized she had been unknowingly watching him for quite some time, and she felt embarrassed as she hastily turned away.

"I'm so, so sorry. I didn't see anything, I swear. I just came to let you know that breakfast is ready. So, yeah, that's it. I'll leave now," she said shuttering and stammered out in a rush, feeling more embarrassed than ever, before quickly exiting the room.

"She's unbelievable, for sure," Jungkook muttered with a frown as he quickly dressed up for the office. Meanwhile, Y/n was eagerly waiting for him at the dining table.

When Jungkook emerged, fully dressed, he noticed her sitting there, waiting for him. Y/n realized he had arrived, so she watched him, and there was an awkward silence for a while because of the earlier incident. Eventually, Jungkook made his way towards the main door of the house, leaving Y/n confused. She couldn't understand where Jungkook was going. She quickly stood up from the chair and approaching, she asked him.

"Jungkook, where are you going?"

"To the office, obviously," he replied.

"Without having breakfast?" she inquired.

"Yeah, I'm not in the mood for breakfast, so yup," he said, breaking her excitement. However, she was determined not to let him leave without having his breakfast.

"But Jungkook, it's not good to skip your breakfast and it's your favorite dish, which I made waking up early in the morning. At least have a bite, please..." she pleaded.

"Did I ask you to make it for me?" he responded in the coldest manner, which felt like a stab to her heart and her smile dropped.
