Crazy for You

Chapter 28

Your POV

The next morning, you woke up a little later than usual, hence you decided to skip breakfast and have something sweet with coffee. Your eyes quickly located a few lollipops on your table. As you unwrapped it, you checked the clock, waiting for Taeho's arrival.

The sound of doorbell made you automatically get the door. You thought it was Taeho, so you didn't even ask before opening it. But, to your dismay, it was the man you were trying to avoid. Jeon freakin' Jungkook.

"Missed me?" he smirked as soon as you opened the door.

"Is that your trademark greeting or something?" you answered with sass.

"Really? Is that how you eat a lollipop?" Jungkook's eyes were glued to your lips as his tone turned dark in a second.

"How does one eat a lollipop then?" you raised an eyebrow as you took it out of your mouth.

"The way your lips wrap around it should be illegal", Jungkook closed the gap between you in an instant, his tone dripping with lust. The proximity and the difference in height made your breath hitch.

"I'm waiting for Taeho", you cleared your throat, avoiding his gaze. He kept staring at you for a few more seconds before he finally uttered his next words.

"I'll be driving you to work today."

"Huh? Why?" you took a step back, eyeing him with confusion.

"Because I want to", Jungkook smirked again as you scoffed.

"Does anyone ever ask my opinion?" you shook your head, feeling slightly irritated.

"You can repay me with your lollipop", Jungkook gave you another dark smirk, taking your lollipop out of your hand and putting it in his mouth. You looked at him with disbelief, shaking your head at his audacity.

"Let me drive you, Y/N", he added, tilting his head. You silently nodded, grabbing your bag and putting on your fur coat.

As you got in the elevator, you cleared your throat, ready to express something that's been eating most of your mental energy.

"Jungkook, I'm looking for a new apartment. I wanted to let you know that I'll move out as soon as I find it."

Upon hearing your words, your ex-boyfriend's facial expression morphed into something akin to extreme sadness.

"Y/N, you told me you could be friends with me. If you're really my friend, stay, don't move out", he said in all seriousness.

"You know that me living in your apartment will only make it harder for us", you sighed, your heart clenching at the thought of making him sad.

"It's my wish for Christmas, Y/N. Can you grant my wish? As my friend?" he furrowed his eyebrows as he intently stared into your orbs.

You stayed silent for a while, finding it hard to reject him. You didn't know what was it about him that always tugged at your heartstrings. Even before you met, you always felt attuned to his emotions and based on how he behaved around you, it was mutual.

"Alright, for the time being", you finally nodded as he eyed you with a warm smile.

If not for the sexual tension, your conversations since that moment became more casual. You could feel that Jungkook was trying harder to control himself around you until.. the next day. The day of the photoshoot.

Once you arrived at the set, it was hard for you to get a second alone as Hyejin and Calvin Klein staff were glued to your side. Despite the fact that it was your first time modeling for a huge campaign like this, you felt at ease as you've started to consider Hyejin not only your make-up artist but also your friend.
