SELF [JEON JUNGKOOK]

thirty two [full]

jeongguk💞: i'm here

i locked my phone and slipped it into the pocket of my hoodie. i also slipped on the red beanie i stole from jeongguk the first time we met over my head, walked out of the door and locked it behind me.

and there he was: propped up against his black car with his head down, something that i was sure only happened in the movies. he looked up at me once he heard the crunch of the rocks rubbing against the cement as i walked over it.

his soft brown eyes met mine and curled at the edges, i didn't have to look down at his mouth because i could already tell that he was smiling. soon after, i started smiling too, his was contagious.

i ran up to him and he welcomed me with open arms. he picked me up and spun me around before he put me back down gently, but still he still had a tight grip around me.

"jeongguk??"

"oh, sorry." he let go of me and awkwardly put his hands in his pockets. "i just got really excited to see you.."

"that's okay." i put my hand on the handle to open the door but stopped when i felt jeongguk staring at me. he cleared his throat and gently took my hand off the handle.

"jeongguk what are you--" he opened the door and gestured his hand into the car.

"m'lady." i couldn't help but smile once again.

"why, thank you, kind sir." i did a small curtsey and slid into the car and he closed the door behind me, and smiled to myself yet again.

he walked around to the other side and slipped into the car as well, then starting the ignition and putting the car in drive, and pulling away from my house.

"i'm so happy you're with me right now." he took his right hand off of the steering wheel, grabbed mine and squeezed it.

"i can say the same." i hid the smile that spread across my lips with the hand that jeongguk wasn't holding.

"you're cute when you smile, don't hide it." i blushed at his words and tried to hide my face again.

"and when you blush," he paused as he stopped at a stop sign and turned, "you're even cuter."

"i hate when you say stuff like that."

"that's why i say stuff like that." he let out a small chuckle that caused me to giggle as well.

"do you know what today is?"

"uhh, february 14??"

"valentine's day.." he laughed. "it's kind of funny how one of our first real dates happens to be on valentine's day."

"yeah, it does."

a short silence fell between the both of us, but not the cold and awkward kind, the warm and comforting. the type of silence that falls when there are no possible words that can explain how great it is just to be in each other's presence.

after a few moments of the silence, i spoke up. "where are we going?"

"it's a surprise."

"oh, c'mon."

"sorry, babe." i smiled at his words.

"okay, i guess i'll just wait and find out."

another silence fell upon us, the same kind as before. jeongguk was still holding my hand in his. after making a few more turns, we had finally arrived at our destination.
