From Me to You ☆ Jung Kook

Chapter Eight

I don't even know how I'm going to face him tomorrow morning. Wait... Why am I obsessing over this? We just touched hands. Well, it was more like holding hands really. But that doesn't matter. I can just imagine Chung Hee tearing me to pieces if she were to find out. If something like that happens again I'm going to die from cardiac arrest.

But more importantly, how am I supposed to look Ho Seok in the eye? He must think I hate him now. What can I do to make it up to him?

I hear a small knock on the door and I quickly throw myself on the bed and pretend to be asleep.

"Eun Kyung-ssi?" I hear Jung Kook call out.

I bury my face into the pillow hoping to make myself invisible. The door creaks open. By now my heart is beating so fast it might leap out. All of a sudden the left side of the bed dips in.

"Wow, you're already asleep?" He whispers.

He sighs deeply. I almost jump when his fingers brush back my hair. I can feel his breath on my face as he suddenly comes closer, as if to kiss my forehead. A part of me is being sensible and saying to ignore the fluttering feeling. Nothing good could come out of liking am idol. But another part of me is thrilled. It's an exhilarating feeling being so close to a person who seemed so far away. Yet I know this is all temporary. That's why I want to make the most of this. Even if it means leaving with a broken heart.

When I wake up I try to act like nothing happened last night. But when I see Jung Kook my heart skips a beat. I avoid his eyes and go help Jin in the kitchen.

"G-Good Morning." I greet him.

He smiles warmly. "Did you sleep well?"

I nod. "Yes. Do you need help preparing breakfast?"

"Sure. I would ask one of the boys, but they'd just ruin everything." He says with a chuckle.

I get out the ingredients and help cut the vegetables for the stew. Every so often our elbows would touch and he'd smile. Though the whole time I could feel eyes burning holes into my back. I fought the temptation to look back. Just ignore it. Being distracted, I accidentally cut myself.

"Ah!"

Everyone looks at me. Jin's eyes widen and he gently takes my hand. I slightly wince at the sudden pain. He puts my hand in the sink under running water. He quickly leaves to get the first aid kit and treats my cut.

"I didn't know you were such a klutz. If the knife had gone any deeper you'd need a tetanus shot." Jin scolds me.

"Sorry..." I mumble.

"Why are you apologizing, silly? You can take a break. I'll finish up."

I nod and take a seat on the couch. It was just Jung Kook and Nam Joon that were up. Jung Kook immediately scoots next to me.

"Are you okay? Did it hurt a lot?" He questions me.

I nod. "I-I'm fine. Thanks f-for being concerned."

Why am I stuttering again? I sound like an idiot. Soon after, breakfast is ready. By then everyone is up.

"I will eat well." We all say.
