The kiss is slow and deep. It was a peck at first; both of our lips were just pressed against each other. I clearly get goosebumps by his bold move, but what shakes me was that he came even closer to me to the point he was on my lap. Instinctively, I put my hands on his waist.

Damn! So small!

Now that he's on my lap, his face is a little up, so I raise my face too. He takes my face in his hand and valiantly opens his mouth to take my upper lip, and I let him.

"Kiss me back," he whispers seductively, and something in me kicks in. Maybe instincts. I bring him even closer to me by his waist and deepen the kiss.

I capture his lower lip and suck it good, not too roughly. Then he daringly inserts his tongue in my mouth, and I flinch. Is it the same Jungkook I know or someone else? The Jungkook I know is shy, timid, and always blushing nervously. Is it the side effects of the drinks?

His butt is pressed right above my hard shaft, and it pains me. But more than that, it pains me that this kiss with Jungkook is bringing out some feelings that I've buried deep inside. I'm afraid to be broken again.

As the kiss turns more passionate, my eyes water up. I can't stop myself. What should I do? His hand roaming around my neck and chest as if we're a couple, deeply in love. How am I supposed to stop it.

Then Jungkook pulls himself out of the kiss, as both of us are breathless. We gasped for air, pressing our foreheads together.

"Taehyung... I-" he plops down on my chest.

I panic for a minute and check on him just to see him sleeping with his mouth open. I'm relieved for that. I'm relieved that he has slept, and all I can wish now is that he doesn't remember anything when he wakes up.

I wake up before him in the morning. The sun is dazzling, so I get up to cover it with the curtain. I look at my bed where Jungkook is sleeping soundly, and last night's episode keeps repeating on my mind. Not only the kiss but the fact that Jungkook also slept beside me. Entire night, he kept clinging on to me like a koala.

A sigh comes out of my mouth. I couldn't feel my left side as it became numb, and now, my left side is in a little pain. I should go out and bring us something to eat, and also I need to buy a headache medicine.

I change my clothes and quickly go out to run the errand. Jungkook is still on my mind. If he remembers everything, then I'll apologize because he was drunk, not me. I could've stopped it. If he doesn't remember, then I'll act as if nothing has happened. I don't want him to think low of me.

I return to my apartment and close the door. I hear a groan as I walk inside. Jungkook rolls on my bed, groaning. The headache must've kicked in. I put the bags in my hand on the counter and pull out the medicine from the pharmacy bag. I take a glass of water and go to him. I put them on my bedside table and then help him sit on the bed.

His face is crunched up as if he's about to cry. He still has his eyes closed. I look at him face, and damn! He looks more beautiful from this close.

I stand up and clear my throat. He slowly opens his eyes.

"Taehyung?" He asks in a feeble voice.

"Yes, it's me, Jungkook. Here." I take the pill and hand it to him with water. He doesn't question much and just takes it. His head must be throbbing.

He gulps down the pill with water and then rests against the headboard with his eyes closed. Maybe he realizes something, or everything. He sits like his previous position and looks at me with a questioning face. I bite my lower lip to stop the stupid smile.

"Taehyung, what are you doing at my house?" He inquires. His head is out of town.

"Are you sure it's your house?"

"Of course, it's my house-" he stops when he scans the room and sees where exactly he is. "It's your house," he murmurs to himself.

"That's correct." I let out a laugh, not as mocking, but I find him funny.

"Get freshened up." I leave him to go to the kitchen. "I'm making you breakfast, then we'll talk."

"Okay," I hear a small okay.

He gets freshened up in the bathroom, and I decide to make egg fried rice with some green tea for him. He comes up after 15 minutes and sits on the counter table. I give him the tea and tell him to wait at least ten minutes for the breakfast. I'm sure he's puzzled, but I want to know what does he remembers from last night. More importantly, I want to know why he drank too much. He looks like he has never touched any drink in his life.

"Here's your breakfast, and this is mine." I sit down opposite him

"Thank you." He quickly starts to eat, avoiding my eyes.

Midway through our breakfast, I ask, "So, wanna explain last night?"

He looks at me with his doe eyes as if he doesn't know anything in this world.

"Did I do something wrong, hyung?" He pouts.

"First, tell me why you drank that much?"

"Um..." he looks down at his food. "I had my birthday celebration last night," he mumbles quietly.

My jaw drops. I've known him for 2 and a half months and I don't even know his birthday. That's awful.

"Why didn't you say anything, Kookie?"

He looks up. "You were so busy, and I already disturb you almost every day. I didn't want you to feel obliged to do something for me," he answers sincerely.

"Still, you could say something, Kook." I look at him, acting a little mad.

"Don't be mad," he gets nervous. That's the Jungkook I know. "I would've liked your presence, but the party was late at night, and you work hard every day. I didn't want you to come when you're so tired, I didn't mean to upset you. I promise, I-"

"Jungkook," I giggle because of his panicked rumbling. "Stop it. I wasn't mad at all, though I would've appreciated it if you told me beforehand. I would've prepared something for you."

"Your presence in my life is enough."

Any other day, I would've just taken this compliment light heartedly, but now, after what happened last night, it's hard to decipher what's the real meaning behind his words is.

"Still, Jungkook. I didn't want to miss your birthday."

"Er... hyung, my birthday is on 1st September, and it's not midnight yet, so technically, you have the entire day."

"That's awesome. Now, I do feel obligated that I should do something. Are you free this afternoon?"

"Yes, why?"

"Then let's meet again around 3 o'clock. I'll come to pick you up from your place."

"Really?" His eyes keep dazzling.

"Yes, so finish the breakfast and go to your house. Your sister must be worried."

"Yes, yes." He quickly starts to finish his food.
