The morning sun filters through the curtains, casting a soft glow in the room. I stir awake, stretching slightly before my eyes land on her. Wow. Minseo is sleeping peacefully beside me, her hair a beautiful mess and her lips slightly parted. I can't help but admire her, my heart racing at the sight.

She looks so cute like this. I lean down, pressing a gentle kiss on her cheek, then her forehead, and finally her nose. Each kiss sends butterflies fluttering in my stomach, and I can't help but feel a rush of affection. This whole situationship thing? Yeah, it's supposed to be casual, but I can't shake the feeling that I'm more committed to her than I thought.

Just as I'm lost in my thoughts, I feel her move. Her eyes flutter open, and when she sees me, her cheeks turn a lovely shade of pink. "Jungkook!" she squeaks, playfully hitting my arm. "Put some clothes on!"

What a way to start the day! I chuckle, enjoying her playful energy. "But you love it," I tease back, pulling her into my arms. "Besides, I thought you would like to wake up to this view."

She rolls her eyes, but there's a smile on her face. "You're insufferable, you know that?"

I snuggle her closer, the warmth of her body against mine feeling perfect. "Maybe, but you keep coming back for more."

We settle into a comfortable silence, just enjoying each other's presence. The soft rhythm of her breathing calms me, and I feel a sense of peace I haven't felt in a while.

But just as I'm about to drift back into a cozy nap, my phone buzzes on the bedside table, breaking the moment. I groan, pulling away reluctantly to grab it. Can't a guy catch a break?

I glance at the screen and see it's a call from the company. "Ugh, hold on," I say, looking back at Minseo, who's watching me with curious eyes. I answer the call, keeping my voice low. "Hello?"

"Hey, Jungkook! We need to talk about the next project," PDnim says on the other end. "Can you meet us at the office in an hour?"

I glance at Minseo, who's propped up on her elbows, her expression a mix of curiosity and concern. "Uh, yeah, sure. I'll be there," I reply, trying to keep my tone casual.

"Great! Oh, and we'll need you to discuss the upcoming promotions for the music video, too. It's blowing up, and we want to capitalize on the momentum."

Right, the music video. My mind races back to last night, to her soft laughter and the way she kissed me. I can't believe I'm here with her, yet I have to go back to work already. "Got it. I'll be there soon," I say, hanging up and setting the phone back down.

"Everything okay?" Minseo asks, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Just the company wanting to talk about the music video," I reply, running a hand through my hair. "They want me at the office in an hour."

She bites her lip, and I can see a hint of disappointment in her eyes. "Oh... okay."

"Hey, it's cool. I'll be back before you know it," I assure her, leaning over to kiss her forehead softly. "We can grab breakfast together after. Just let me throw on some clothes and get ready."

"Yeah, alright." She smiles softly, but I can see the hint of worry in her eyes. I don't want her to feel like I'm running off. "I'll try not to miss you too much," she jokes, trying to lighten the mood.

"Ha! Good luck with that," I tease, throwing on a t-shirt and jeans quickly. "I'll be back before you can even start to miss me."

"Deal." She smiles brightly, and in that moment, I can't help but feel hopeful. Maybe this isn't just a situationship after all.

With a final kiss on her lips, I head out the door, already looking forward to coming back to her. How did I get so lucky?
