🔞 The Inheritance

27 - Riding Waves

Haneul's POV

It was already seven o'clock in the evening! I still had to apply some make up and style my hair after I flat iron it.

Today's the day Jimin and I have a date.

Finally!

For some reason, my heart's been beating faster since he'd given me a call to arrange the time. My mind's been racing too.

It was so difficult to concentrate on anything at all. I had to do my hair, select a nice outfit, but also make sure that it was warm enough.

Jimin had been very clear that I dressed warm.

'I'm so curious to see what he has planned for us! It is getting colder now. So, I'm guessing it's something outdoors.' I pondered silently to myself as I dried and then flat ironed my hair.

"Knock knock."

I turned to see who was at my door.

My core clenched and a series of butterflies fluttered in my stomach when I saw the reflection of the man who stood smiling behind me in the mirror.

It was the sexiest of my seven fiances, the one that would end me with his talented kisses and that darn sexy lip ring.

He's my stolen kiss, my oldest friend, Jeon Jungkook.

"Jungkook..." I breathed out, not sure if I should hug him.

"Hi baby. I- I just wanted to see if you're alright." He met my gaze, smiling at me sweetly.

But I could tell that he was feeling a little conscious about the fact that most of the others had figured that we kissed in the café yesterday.

"I'm okay. I'm glad you're here." I say, wrapping my arms around him in a welcoming hug.

I placed a kiss on his cheek and then turned back to the mirror to continue styling my hair.

"How have you been?" I asked, looking at him in the mirror.

He walked forwards to hug me from behind, making eye contact with my reflection as he spoke.

"I'm okay Haneul." He squeezed me a little, I can tell that he missed me.

"I wanted to let you know that I'll be staying over at Jin hyung's house for the next two nights. I really love you, Haneul. And I can't stop thinking about you. But I also feel that if I am not in the next room, it might be easier for us. You won't believe how many times I've had to stop myself from entering your room in the last twelve hours." He laughed, though it was more to himself.

Jungkook is handsome. His eyes had a maturity that most men don't seem to have until they reach forty. In that moment alone, I fell in love with him all over again.

He makes my heart feel happy but also very sad at the same time. When I see him, I want to hold him close, but also kiss him.

I've heard of the seven forms of love. But I never thought that I'd ever have it. Especially with each form showing up with each fiance of mine...
Jungkook made me want to kiss him in the rain. While kissing Hobi was almost as if I were kissing pure sunshine. Yoongi was like a hot cup of strong black coffee and Namjoon was like a cup of hot chocolate.
Jin was the kind of love that quenched my thirst, he knew just what I needed and when. While Taehyung and Jimin were like the moon and stars.

Still unknown, and yet so beautiful all the same. But I guess I'll be finding out soon enough.

And yet, somehow, Jungkook touched my heart in a unique way. I wanted to spend more time with him, there was an inexplicable urge to sit with him, he had the most calming voice of my seven fiances.
