Crazy for You

Chapter 29

Your POV

The night after your kiss, you were tossing and turning in your bed, blaming yourself for being too weak-willed.

"Why did you let him kiss you, huh? Why?!" you screamed out, kicking your comforter out of frustration.

The ringtone of your phone startled you as you let out another irritated huff before calming yourself down and glancing at your screen.

Oh no, it was Jeon freakin' Jungkook! You contemplated ignoring his call, but you knew his personality by now. He was capable of coming down to your apartment right away. You've never met someone this persistent and relentless!

"Yes?" you decided to keep your tone neutral.

"I'm leaving to U.S.A tomorrow. I'll be gone for a week", Jungkook's voice was husky and low.

"Is there a reason you're telling me this?" you almost rolled your eyes, finding his antics irritating.

"If anything happens to you in my absence, call me immediately, okay? Promise me", he insisted with the same deep voice.

"I can take care of myself", you answered stubbornly even though you knew how much he cared for you.

"Well, then you leave me no choice but to ask Taeho to follow you absolutely everywhere", he answered in a same stubborn tone as yours.

"He does that now. I don't see the difference", you answered with a slight sass. Jungkook sighed at your response, taking a deep breath to calm himself.

"I'll miss you", he suddenly said. You stayed silent, pondering over your response.

"Have a safe flight", you half-whispered, your heart beating faster for an unknown reason.

"Good night, my Y/N", Jungkook murmured before hanging up.

You closed your eyes, his last words playing in your mind like a broken record. "My Y/N..." You knew he was still hung up on you. And frankly, you didn't move on from him either. You could admit it to yourself, although you'd never be able to say it out loud.

The next few days passed by in a blink of an eye. You spent most of your time getting ready for your performances at Fallon Tonight. One of your self-written songs got confirmed as your debut single. In a week, you'd be performing it for the first time at Fallon Tonight, right before your Christmas special performance with BTS members.

Jungkook would call you from time to time, asking you about your day as you tried your best to keep the conversations casual. Except for a few instances where he couldn't keep his impulses at bay. You thought it was a good start for your newfound friendship. After all, you intended to keep working with him, so it was essential for you to figure out a way to build a healthy friendship, without any drama. Avoiding him wasn't a sustainable option, and you knew it.

On the sixth day, Saehoon was driving you to work whilst Taeho was following you in his car. You scoffed to yourself, finding Jungkook's strong insistence on your security unnecessary and ridiculous. A Camila Cabello song playing in the background caught your attention.

'Can friends kiss? Touch each other like this? Undercover like this?..' the lyrics instantly made your mind race with images of you kissing Jungkook. With no lights on, you couldn't even see his face on that day, but the feeling of his lips, the way he touched you, the way he made you feel... You remembered everything so vividly that it was hard for you to stop your mind from replaying the moment again and again. Friends can't kiss though, can they?

After your vocal and dance lessons, Jin texted you asking if you wanted to have dinner with him. You instantly agreed and headed to his studio.

You've been spending lots of time with Jin lately. You'd eat most of your meals together. He kept thanking you for giving him your song even though you already received your huge payment for it.
