Enigma

chapter 7

The next few weeks were filled with small, intimate moments between Jungkook and Soojin. They spent more time together, finding excuses to be in each other's company. Jungkook's flirtatious comments and gestures made Soojin blush constantly, and she couldn't help but feel her heart swell with affection for him.

One afternoon, they were at a small café, sharing a piece of cake. Jungkook leaned over and wiped a bit of frosting from Soojin's lip with his thumb. "You had a little something right here," he said, his voice soft.

Soojin's cheeks turned a rosy pink. "Thanks," she murmured, looking down at her plate.

"You know," Jungkook said, leaning back in his chair, "you look really cute when you blush."

Soojin's blush deepened, and she couldn't help but laugh nervously. "You're such a flirt."

Jungkook grinned. "Only for you."

One evening, after a particularly wonderful day spent together, Soojin lay in bed and replayed the day's events in her mind. The way Jungkook had held her hand, the way he had looked at her—it all felt so genuine. She realized with a jolt that she had fallen for him. She was in love with Jungkook.

The next day at school, Soojin was in high spirits. She couldn't stop smiling, thinking about Jungkook. Her older brother, Yoongi, who was known for his protective nature, had even commented on her good mood during breakfast.

"What's got you so happy today?" Yoongi had asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing, just... life," Soojin had replied, her smile widening.

Yoongi had shrugged, not pushing further but clearly curious.

In class, Soojin was engrossed in her notes, feeling like nothing could ruin her day. She was doodling little hearts in the margins of her notebook when the classroom door opened, and Jungkook walked in.

Her heart skipped a beat as she looked at him. His hair was perfectly tousled, his lips curved into a confident smile, and his eyes held a mischievous glint.
She admired the way his veins stood out on his hands and arms, and the casual but stylish outfit he wore.

Jungkook walked over and sat beside her. "Hey," he whispered, leaning close enough that she could feel his breath on her ear.
"After school, let's go somewhere. I know a place."

Soojin's excitement was palpable. "I'd love that," she replied, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
She had completely forgiven him for his past actions, believing he had truly changed.

The evening came, and Soojin followed Jungkook as they headed out of school. He led her through a forest path behind the school, and she trusted him completely. The trees grew thicker, and the air was filled with the scent of pine and earth. As they walked, the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over everything.

Eventually, they emerged from the trees to find a beautiful lake. The water was calm, reflecting the vibrant colors of the sunset. The view took Soojin's breath away.

"It's beautiful," she whispered, taking it all in. The air was fresh, and everything felt perfect.

Jungkook watched her with soft eyes as she admired the view. She turned to him, about to say something, but he gently placed a finger on her lips. "Shh," he said softly. "Just enjoy it. Close your eyes and feel the moment."

Soojin nodded and closed her eyes, letting the sounds of the water and the fresh air envelop her. She felt at peace, completely at ease.
