Clash Of Hearts | Jungkook ✔️

19."In your Embrace"

Ena showed Sarah to the guest room, where they started making the bed together. Sarah mentioned she'd stay for a day or two before heading back to her dormitory. As they worked, Sarah looked up, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Ena, sleep with me tonight," she suggested.

Ena grinned, warmth spreading across her face. "Of course, why would I miss this chance?" she responded, her tone light and affectionate.

Jungkook knocked and entered, leaning casually against the door frame. "I hope you like it here, Sarah," he said, flashing a polite smile.

Sarah nodded enthusiastically. "Of course! It's lovely," she replied, genuinely appreciative. Ena excused herself to fetch a water jug for Sarah, brushing past Jungkook as she left. He watched her go, a thoughtful look crossing his face before turning to Sarah. "I wanted to ask you something about Ena," he said, his voice lowering conspiratorially.

"Yes, please go on," Sarah encouraged, her curiosity piqued.

Jungkook hesitated, rubbing the back of his neck. "No, not now. It'll take some time, so I'll see you tomorrow. Sleep well," he finally said, offering a polite bow before leaving.

In his room, Jungkook paced, glancing at the clock and then at the door. When Ena finally entered, she looked at him, her eyebrows raising in surprise. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" she asked, her voice tinged with concern.

Jungkook stopped pacing and turned to face her, a glint in his eyes. "I was waiting for you," he said, his tone softer.

"Me?" Ena asked, her voice rising in surprise, a faint blush creeping up her cheeks.

"Hmm," Jungkook hummed, stepping closer, his eyes not leaving hers.

"Why?" she asked again, still puzzled, her heart beating a little faster under his intense gaze.

"Come, let's sleep," Jungkook suggested, reaching for her hand with a smile, his touch warm. Ena pulled away, her expression shifting from surprise to confusion.

"What's with you?" she asked, her brow furrowing, sensing something different in his demeanor.

"What?" he responded innocently.

"I came to get my pillow. It's more comfortable," she explained, her voice tinged with irritation, though Jungkook interrupted, his tone more serious, "Wait... wait! Where are you going?"

"Sleeping with Sarah," Ena replied, her tone matter-of-fact, as if the answer were obvious.

Jungkook's eyes widened, his face paling slightly. "What? What the hell! Why?" he exclaimed, his voice rising in disbelief.

Ena flinched at his outburst, her eyes narrowing. "Yah! What's wrong with you? Why are you shouting?" she demanded.

"No! You can't sleep there!" Jungkook declared, his voice firm, a flicker of desperation in his eyes.

Ena stared at him, her jaw dropping slightly. "Yah! Jeon Jungkook, who are you to tell me that? I met Sarah after eight months. Why can't I sleep with her?" she retorted, her voice rising with irritation, her stance defiant.

"Ena, I was waiting for you," Jungkook admitted, his shoulders sagging slightly, his expression softening as frustration gave way to vulnerability.

Ena shook her head, confused and exasperated. "Exactly! Why were you waiting for me?" she pressed, her tone sharp, wanting answers.

Jungkook avoided her gaze, running a hand through his hair. Instead of answering directly, he muttered, "So you're really going to sleep with her?"

"That's right," Ena affirmed, grabbing her pillow, her movements brisk and determined. She turned to leave, but Jungkook called out, "Ena!" She paused, looking back at him, her expression a mix of annoyance and curiosity.
