chapter nineteen

Yerim's POV

I made my way to Jungkook's room as I finished getting my refreshing bath.

As I entered the chamber, I can only spot a sleeping Jungkook on the comforter that was spreaded on the floor. There's another comforter a few metres from his, my space, perhaps.

I know that he's tired after driving all day but of course he needs a bath as well. I guess I have to wake him back to the world.

"Jungkook, wake up. It's your turn to get your bath." I shook his body but he won't budge and continue to sleep like a log.

I tried all over again but at the end I know it's not going to work.

So an idea suddenly approaches my head.

"Jungkook, Yein called me just now and asked if we can meet. And I said of course so can we go back to—"

"What!? She did that?"

How stupid of him. Who on this earth would agree to meen someone she barely know?

"Got you. Now get up you sleepy ass. Get your bath." I said as I gripped onto his hand.

"Ugh. I'm tired." He whined as he lied back onto the mattress with an attempt to close his eyes.

"I understand. But I don't want to sleep in a room with you and your smell." I said as I scrunched my nose at his stink-ness.

"Not my problem." He muttered as he tightly closed the eyelids of his.

"Fine. But if so, you can search for me at the motel tomorrow. I will ask for Shinbi's help. She will gladly show me—" and once again, my words were cut short by Jungkook as his eyes shot open, his hand grabbing my wrist.

"Yerim one, Jungkook negative one if possible" I said as I smiled victoriously. He looked straight at my face as  I looked into his.

"You little rascal." He muttered under his breath as he sat up right, "Fine. You win."

"Of course, you know me." I said as I flipped my hair playfully as I stood up. "Now hurry up you stink."

Jungkook did the same, making his way to grab a towel that was hung on the hanger before grabbing me by my head, playfully ruffling my hair with my head in between his arms and side. (You know the position that a tall guy usually do with short girls to ruffle their head..)

"Yah!! Let go of me!!"

He pushed me slightly and once he let go, he dashed to the bathroom as fast as the lightning. And I waste no time, running after him.

"Jeon Jungkook you idiot!!!" I shouted as the bathroom door separate the two of us and I could hear his laughter despite that plastic door blocking my view.

I then heard soft chuckles as it finally hit me. I turned my head to the side to find Jungkook's grandmother whom had been watching our argument.

"I'm sorry for being loud, halmeoni." I apologized as I bowed multiple times in guilt. If only the guy didn't suffocate me with his smell, I wouldn't be this noisy.

I blamed Jungkook mentally before returning back to reality.

"Aigo, his mother is right about you two being close." She said as she flashed a granny-smile to me.

"She talked about me? I mean us?" I asked, taken aback with her words.

"Yeah, she talked about how Jungkook always tease you. When the two of you got caught by the teacher for vandalism, when you were punished for arguing. She talked about almost everything." She said, as she image the scenes in her head.

Seeing her that way, making me smile and feel a bit sad. I suddenly miss my grandmother. My late grandmother. Jungkook is so lucky to still have her.

She resumed her words with the childhood story of Jungkook. She told me about his embarrassing moments— which I can use to mock him in the future— which made me burst into laughter.

"Had fun, ladies?" Jungkook suddenly said as he walked toward us while drying his wet hair with a towel.

"Of course. Your grandmother is really fun." I said as I took a glance over his grandmother.

"Of course she is fun. Just look at her grandson." His words made me roll my eyes, "Don't you feel cold? The sun had already set, and the temperature dropped."

He looked at us multiple times, I could sense worries in his words.

"Don't worry, love. I wore thick enough to make myself warm. But I'm not sure about Yerim." Grandmother looked at me, eyeing me from head to toe.

"You idiot." Jungkook knocked my head with his knuckle which hurts as hell, causing me to whine in pain before leaving.

"You jerk how could you do— "

"Wear this." He came back with a sweater which I assume to be his, literally forcing me wearing it, "I need to sleep now. Today is so tiring. Don't stay up too long, you will fell ill."

He said as he walked to his granny, giving her a bear hug, long before walk pass me to his room. Well, actually he didn't just walk pass me, he stopped in front of me, gazing me for a while which annoy me.

"What do you want?"

Chup.

"Goodnight."

My cheeks are probably red as fuck, from the burning heat that came from both of it as soon as his lips left the right cheek of mine.
I can even feel butterflies escaping from the dungeon of my heart. They usually appear when I'm around Jaemin. What the hell?

Is he insane?

I watch him disappearing into the bedroom, before granny cleared her throat to chase the awkward atmosphere around me.

"I know he's mean at times but I hope you could bear with him a little longer." I looked at grandmother at her sudden words.

"Huh?"

"He seems to be ignorant but the truth is, he really care. You do know that, don't you? Just look at the way he act just now. He used to tell me about his friends, his concern about them and he had even cried for his friends. So please don't turn your back on him." Grandmother said again and I crept a smile.

"I've never intended on doing that." I said sincerely and the latter smiled in relief.

I entered Jungkook's room in the middle of the night, after my long conversation with grandma. The room was dark but I can see Jungkook sleeping on his comforter clearly.

I intended to head to my bed but my legs brought me somewhere else— Jungkook's sleeping figure.

I sat next to his body, as I stared at his sleeping face for quite a long time, thinking.

"You're so lucky, Jungkook. To have her as your grandmother. She's so lovely and I think I would cry a river the moment she leave. But let's not think about that." I said, still gazing him.

"She wish to see you happy. She wanted to see you having a girlfriend, a wife if possible. And see you have children but that hope is fading. But don't worry, she won't push you hard." I confessed, playing with a strand of his bangs before letting it go.

"Hmm.. Jaljayo~"
