When She Looks At Me | BTS & BLACKPINK

CHAPTER 3- I'M IN SHOCK

Jennie's POV-

I was combing my long tresses of hair as I tied them up and glanced at the clock. I was running out of time! I decided to wear something which could highlight my consummate elegance. I chose a bright crimson red colour for my lipstick and I applied a glaze all over my glass skin.

I needed to look immaculate because whenever I would see Jungkook, I'd always feel like he deserves more and I needed to be better. Little does he know that he's the most perfect boy to exist!

Usually, at my school, most of the boys were on a rampage fighting, hustling and pummeling each other until the other bleeds but he never fought like a lunatic. Instead, he was smart, respectful and really caring. I loved him so much that I couldn't leave him at all. How could I ever abandon such a lovely guy?

He had that silky brown hair and those eyes that shimmered like shingles on the pearl-laden sea-shore. When he spoke, he would inevitably give me butterflies and his warm smile was a remedy to the cold. He looked so breath-taking when he would flip his hair and when he would kiss me, I felt blessed like I was on a trip to the pinnacle of heaven. I wish that I could be his last love holding his hand for every infinite second of my life.

He was the only muse lingering in my head which drove me insane!
Ah! When he would wear his black denim jacket, he would look like a pretty bad boy...It's like a rush of a glittering daydream with sparkles and a taste of evanescent twilight being with him. Oh shoot! It's almost time to go to Jungkook's place! I thought to myself.

Wait, but what if his parents are there?
What if they don't like me?
What if they tell me to break up with him because I'm not up to their "expectations"?
Ok I'm pondering way too much right now. I could feel my lungs palpitating as I let go of a huge exhale of anxiety.
"Breathe in, Jennie and breathe out!" I repeated as I pacified myself like a big baby.

"What happened nini?" Mom asked as I noticed that she had been watching me hyperventilate THE WHOLE TIME.
"What's going on? You're wearing your red dress, today? What's the occasion?" she blathered.
"Nothing," I said nonchalantly.
"You're going out?" she asked.
"Yes, no, maybe?" I said puzzled.
"Who are you going out with?" Mom asked as she furrowed her eyebrows.
"My...friends," I replied blanched in nervousness.
"Who are these "friends"?" she hissed
suspiciously.
"Lisa, Rosé, Jisoo?" I whimpered.
"Hmmm...Are you sure you're not going to meet that boy who kissed you earlier today?" she asked raising her eyebrows as I nearly flushed into fear.
"How do you..." I stuttered watching her vanquishing all my excuses.

"I saw him kissing you earlier today in front of the YG building," she said.
"But what were you doing there?" I asked as I crumbled vigorously in fear.
"Can't I come to see my daughter?" she said with her eyes watering melodramatically.
"Eomma!" I winced.
"Nini, go out but don't trust him so much. Be careful and take this pepper spray just in case," she said grinning.
"Oh my baby's grown up now!" she said nagging me and that just irked me.
"Eomma! I don't need this pepper spray," I said assertively with my eyes looking down at that tiny bottle fastened with a plastic cap.
"Take it..." she said and I kept it in my pocket just for her sake. Why would I ever need to spray that thing on a darling like Jungkook?
It was him who was spraying me with the breath of heaven's air on my face caressing me in a way that could melt me a million times. He was like the shower of rain in which I wanted to drench myself forever and he was the sunshine I wanted to soak myself in. I had never ever felt this way in my life and that kept me wondering if there could be anyone else with this golden capacity to enchant me just like Jungkook did. I bet a million wons that there could be nobody in his league.

He has his own league, my dear Jungkook.

Speaking his name was a pleasure to my lips. Ah...
"Do you want one more spray?" Mom asked chuckling.
"Of course not!" I said, "I'm going to be alright..."
"Don't come home too late! Bye my nini!" my mom said.
"Okay! Bye!" I said walking away to his place.

I walked across the pavement delicately trying to balance on those heels I wore. I needed to look the best if his parents were there. I couldn't leave a hint of an awful impression because I couldn't let go of him. He was the kind of guy you could only find if you're lucky enough to and I'm glad I got him.

On the way, I could see the streetlights shining above my head like stationary stars offering a glow to the sequins intertwined in my glossy dress. I wish that I could explain how I felt like a model walking on a rampway in my dress. Oh! How amazing it was feeling...

But then suddenly, a thought jumped up in my head that I should get a gift for Jungkook and his parents. Wasn't that a great idea!
I walked towards the left trying to find the confectionery shop as I narrowed my eyes searching for the store. I had decided to buy a giftbox of luscious chocolates which contained a bomb of caramel if you savored it slowly. It was Jungkook's favourite chocolate and whenever I'd ask him, he would not eat it because he didn't want to waste his money on sweets but life needs a little spending to make the moment sweet sometimes.

It was dusk, the peak of dimming darkness as I rushed to the right to cross the road. I began walking until I saw a car accelerating towards me at such a tremendous speed. It was coming towards me at a speed ready to kill. I stood there static, motionless and lifeless convulsed in shock.

Frozen like a statue, I screamed until somebody grabbed me to the pavement. It was a guy in a jet-black hoodie and in a spur of the fragile moment, I clasped onto my pepper spray and splashed every little ounce of the spray all over his face.

"Aah!" he screamed rubbing his eyes maniacally.
"I'm sorry!" I said realising that I had reacted that way so unnecessarily.
"Give me some water," he said as I gave him my water bottle and he splashed the water on his face.
He recoiled and then unveiled the cap of his hoodie hiding his face.
"Who are you?" I asked stricken with a charge of fear.
"I'm Kim Taehyung," he said.
"Wait, are you Jungkook's best friend?" I asked.
"Yeah," he said wiping the tears he got in his eyes by my pepper spray.
"I'm sorry about the pepper spray..." I apologized.
"It's fine. I know that you just reacted because of the shock," he said understandingly.
"And to thank you for saving me, how should I repay you?" I asked him.
"You're alive. That's enough," he said smiling meekly as he flipped his hair looking at me.

I could feel a rush through my skin just like thunder. Wait, why was I feeling this looking at him? I could feel something similar to what Jungkook makes me feel but it was somehow different.

I could see his smile like an anime character coming alive and how flawless his streaks of hair were hovering like a voluminous fluffy cloud. Wait, what's wrong with me? Why am I praising him like this? He's not my boyfriend- Jungkook is. I must be in shock- perhaps...

Help!

"Love is a beautiful phenomenon where everything glitters even though you're standing in the darkest of vacuum. It makes you lose your senses because the only thing you want is him. That's it."
