Keeping up with the Kim's.

Older. | Part 4

♠️

It had been three days.

Three long days of visiting schools, meeting headmasters, exploring the city here and there and... Jungkook pretending like that didn't happen.

Like he didn't tell her those words at the boutique, like he hadn't given her a sliver of hope.

Even now, as they sat in her hotel suite, watching the London lights.

Jungkook looked at Dabin, the cold english breeze brushing against her face as she watched Big Ben, the night lights making her delicate yet sharp features stand out more.

She wore her pajamas, a simple tank top with a pair of shorts that rode way too fucking high on her thighs.

"Something is bothering you." He announced. He didn't ask, no need when he already knew.

She side-eyed him, raising a brow.

She answered with a scoff, rolling her eyes.

The elephant in the room begged to be addressed and yet... Jungkook refused to do so.

Since that day they went shopping, he hadn't given her any more signs, nothing to grasp or go off of. To say that she was going insane was an understatement.

"What if I don't ?" He teasingly asked.

"But you do." She narrowed her eyes at him, challenging him to claim otherwise.

A soft chuckle escaped his lips as he comfortably rested his arm on the back of her chair, tickling her nape and forcing a giggle out of her.

"Stop, I'm upset..." She complained softly.

"Yeah ? You're never upset with me for long." He answered playfully.

"And now I want to be."

He rolled his eyes, his fingers gently brushing against her nape in a soothing manner. It felt natural to him to just... show such affection to her.

He felt teared apart inside.

It wasn't just a matter of age gap but... everything else. The family ties, the risks of it, his own goddamn moral compass.

"Hm... Will it be for a long time ?" He asked, his gaze softening as he looked at her. "Two minutes ? Two hours ? Two days ? Two weeks ? Or just... For as long as I refuse to give you what you want."

"You know you want to give it to me." She answered, tilting her head to the side. "And you will give in."

"Is that so ?" He asked, amused.

"Oh that is so."

She slowly moved, getting on all fours before she wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes gazing upon every features on his face.

"I want you, but you need me." She whispered into his ear, her fingers softly combing his hair.

"I need you, huh ?" He answered with a hint of amusement in his voice, his hands steadying her waist, thumbs rubbing her skin.

Dabin hummed into response, chills raising on her spine at his touch.

It was the most he had touched her, yet... There was something about it. It was delicate and eager all at once, like he wanted to eat her whole, all while holding back.

She pulled back slightly, just enough so that she could face him properly.

"You're pretending to be this stand-up guy who wouldn't lay a finger on me, who doesn't want to get in trouble with Mama and Papa... You do realize that everything you've done so far would put you in trouble already ?" She asked, raising a brow. But then, she continued. "There's nobody here but you and I. I don't kiss and tell... do you ?"
