Whispers of the Mystery Book

Chapter 59: Kookie Energy

Mi-Rae climbed onto Jungkook's bike, her heart fluttering as she wrapped her arms loosely around his waist. Jungkook, feeling the light grip, reached back and pulled her hands tighter around him, holding them in place.

Jungkook glanced back with a teasing grin, but his voice was gentle.

Jungkook (softly): "Hold me properly, babe."

Mi-Rae blushed, tightening her hold on him as warmth spread through her cheeks. Then, without warning, Jungkook gently took her hand, raised it to his lips, and placed a soft kiss on her knuckle. The sweet gesture caught her off guard, and she smiled shyly.

Mi-Rae (grinning): "Where are we going, Kookie?"

Jungkook smirked, starting the bike.

Jungkook (playfully but sincere): "Somewhere a little far. I just want to spend some alone time with you."

Mi-Rae nodded, resting her head against his back as the bike roared to life. They sped off, the wind whipping past them, creating a bubble of peace that only existed between them. After a while, Jungkook slowed down and parked in front of a cozy little coffee shop tucked away from the busy streets. They walked in, and Jungkook ordered two coffees.

As they sat down, the conversation flowed easily between them, laughter and smiles filling the space. After some time, Jungkook stood up, flashing her a quick grin.

Jungkook (playful): "Babe, I'll be back in a second. Don't miss me too much."

Mi-Rae (smiling): "Take your time, Kookie."

As she sipped her coffee and waited, she suddenly felt the presence of someone behind her. Before she could turn around, she felt something cold slip around her neck-a delicate chain, and then the soft brush of tattooed fingers securing the clasp. Her breath hitched as she realized who it was.

Mi-Rae (whispering, surprised): "Kookie..."

Jungkook walked around to face her, a proud smile tugging at his lips as he admired the necklace resting against her skin.

Jungkook (softly, gazing at her): "It looks cute on you, babe."

Mi-Rae's fingers instinctively reached up to touch the necklace, a small, meaningful smile appearing on her face.

Mi-Rae (curious, touched): "Thank you. But... why a sudden gift?"

Jungkook took her hand, his expression softening, and his voice grew quieter, more serious.

Jungkook (gently): "There's an important match coming up, babe. I'll be practicing a lot more, so I won't be around as much. But... I want you to know something."

He paused, his thumb brushing against her knuckles, his gaze locking with hers.

Jungkook (sincerely): "I don't know what you're going through, or if you're struggling with something. But please, come to me. Whenever you need me, I'll drop everything and be there for you. Don't hesitate to call. I'll make sure I'm there as soon as I can. Promise me that, okay?"

Mi-Rae's eyes welled up with tears at his heartfelt words. She hadn't expected such deep concern, and her heart swelled with emotion. She squeezed his hand, her voice trembling slightly.

Mi-Rae (softly, tearfully): "Thank you... thank you so much for being there for me, Kookie."

Jungkook wiped away the stray tear that slipped down her cheek and smiled warmly.

Jungkook (whispering): "Always, babe. Always."

In the following days, Jungkook found himself swamped with practice, the pressure of the upcoming match weighing heavily on him. Yet, no matter how busy his schedule became, he made it a point to find Mi-Rae whenever he could.

Mi-Rae was deep into her notes in library, when a familiar figure slid into the seat next to her. Jungkook, still slightly out of breath from practice, leaned in close, grinning like he had a secret.

Jungkook (whispering with a teasing smirk): "Guess who's here to rescue you from the boredom of study?"

Mi-Rae didn't look up, but her lips twitched with amusement.

Mi-Rae (feigning seriousness): "If it's you, then I'm doomed. My grades are definitely going to drop."

Jungkook chuckled, nudging her playfully.

Jungkook (playfully offended): "Hey, I'm here to boost your morale! Just a little 'Kookie energy' to help you power through."

Mi-Rae finally looked up, raising an eyebrow.

Mi-Rae (teasing): "Is that what they call it? 'Kookie energy'? Because all it does is distract me."

Jungkook leaned in closer, his grin widening.

Jungkook (whispering): "Maybe distraction's part of my plan. It's not my fault you can't resist me."

Mi-Rae rolled her eyes, but the blush creeping onto her cheeks betrayed her.

Mi-Rae (softly): "Go practice, Kook. You're going to get me in trouble."

Jungkook (mock-serious): "Fine, but I'm coming back to check on you. You need at least one Kookie sighting a day, or I'm afraid you might forget me."

Mi-Rae couldn't help but smile.

Mi-Rae (smirking): "You're unforgettable, don't worry."

Jungkook winked, gave her a quick salute, and sauntered off, leaving Mi-Rae feeling both amused and flustered.
