Frenemies

Chapter 22: HYUNG LIKES SOMEONE!

You found yourself to sleep this night. Safe and sound, it was amazing how fast you allowed your tiredness consume you. The walk with Jungkook was one thing, but all you remembered was coming back home with the same adrenaline pursing through the both of you. You hadn't shut up most of the night, smiling and laughing about with Jungkook who managed to keep his space on the couch.

For once, the both of you just spoke like civilized human beings with one another. It was weird. You had teased him of his nose, and he had teased you of your frizzy hair that had started to dry over now that the both of you were inside. From teasing, to important talk, to embarrassing stories from childhood, the both of you were relaxed in each other's presence the past night.

You talked about your brother, your old fish, and your professors at school.

Jungkook talked about his parents, his friends, and his white tee shirt choices.

You hadn't laughed so loud for a long while, and yet Jungkook managed to get it out of you the night prior.

Ready and up from bed, you had your backpack slung over your shoulder as you moved towards the staircase. Hoping to sneak your way into the kitchen to grab a snack, you internally prayed to be faced with no one in the morning. You knew Jungkook was still in the house from last night. He had asked to stay because he 'didn't feel comfortable with you alone'. You rolled your eyes when thinking back to that argument. I can take care of myself, you sighed internally, it was still a sweet of a gesture though.

Head peeking to see if his body was still sprawled on the couch, you smiled tightly to yourself when spotting him fast asleep. You stared for a moment, staring over at the way the tip of his nose glistened from oil. Seeing him comfortable and in the blanket, you had provided for him earlier, you managed to sneak over to the kitchen and grab whatever you needed.

Chugging down a bit of water before finally making an appearance into the living room space, you tip-toed towards the opening of the couch. Standing in front of his sleeping form now, your smile was gentle when spotting him still so induced in sleep. You sighed, taking another sip of your water before opening at your mouth to speak over at him...

"JUNGKOOK!!!" you hollered out, bending so that you could scream it into his ear.

The moment you saw the maknae's eyes widen in shock, you found your lips to move in contentment the moment he fell off the couch, instantly rubbing at his ear as he looked around and got onto his feet.

"What happened—Is someone in the house? You alright?" he asked panicked, frantically looking around the house to see no one.

It took him a moment to realize that it was a new day now. There was even light streaming from the windows of the living room. Then, the moment he saw you grinning over at him, his surprised face fell to utter irritation.

"Was that necessary?" he asked, jaw clenching as he moved to fix his shirt on his form. It had ridden up a little bit once he had fallen.

"Yes," you said, your tongue poking at the side of your cheek in amusement, "I've got to go to school, hence, I've gotta kick ya out."

"Could've just woken me up sweetly," Jungkook mumbled out, behaviour almost child-like as he worked to fold up the blanket you had provided for him.

"I'm sorry," you piped, amusement sky-rocketing, "Do I look like your mother?"

Jungkook rolled his eyes, moving to turn and push the nicely folded blanket into your chest. You moved a little back at the action, fake smile casting your face to match his irritated one.
