The Sweetest Escape

CHAPTER 20

CHAPTER 20

JUNGKOOK's P.O.V.

I feel so hot. Why is it so hot? Are there no air conditioners around? I can feel beads of sweat on my forehead. Where am I? I tried to open my eyes and realized that I am back in my room. How did I get here? I felt dizzy looking around and so I closed my eyes again. I tried to recall what happened earlier and how I ended up this way. I instantly felt regret as the memories of Ji Eun Noona kissing me and Ely Noona's face flashed through my mind. And then, I recall taking Noona's drink and drank it one shot and then I passed out. What kind of drink was that? I can't believe that I got knocked out by one shot.

I groaned as I tried to remove my jacket, but every movement makes me feel dizzier and so I stopped moving and deeply sighed. I heard some footsteps coming to my bed. I tried to open my right eye but it only opened halfway. I saw Ely Noona standing at the foot of the bed looking at me with a dazed expression. She was holding some of my clothes on her hand. What is she doing here? What is she going to do? I wondered as I waited for her to move. After a few seconds, she came closer and sat at the edge of my bed so I immediately shut my eyes and pretended to sleep. I don't even know why I did that. I felt her tugging my jacket. My heart is starting to beat erratically. I can feel her struggling and so I helped her a bit without her knowing. I tried to hold my breath when she moved closer to me. My heart palpitated as I smelt her cool sweet scent. "Jeon Jungkook-ssi, please wake up and change into this clothes." She shook him but I didn't budge. "Jeon Jungkook-ssi!" She shook me harder but I pretended to be unconscious and waited for her to act.

I tried to half open my eyes again to see what she is up to and I saw her hands shaking as she was trying to reach the hem of my shirt. Is she about to take my shirt off? I immediately felt embarrassed. I am not that fit. I don't want to disappoint her. I stopped her before she can reach for my shirt by grabbing her wrist. She looked so surprised. "Excuse me." She tried to stand again but I didn't let her, instead I pulled her closer. I watch how her face turned beet red while she averted her eyes from me. "Are you losing your mind Jeon Jungkook? Let me go!" She hissed but I didn't budge. A small smile escaped my lips. I find her blushing adorable. I can feel something building inside me. I want to see her closer. "Sirhou!" I disagreed and pouted. "I said, let me go!" She tried to move away again. She kept on squirming to get out of my embrace. I started to feel weird, and before I knew what is happening it stood up. I saw how her eyes got bigger and her jaw dropped to the floor. "Yah! Aish! Let go!" she hit my face me with her head I lost my strength and groaned in pain. Ow! That hurts!

"You pervert!" She started yelling names at me but I didn't respond. I remained motionless as my thoughts begin to wander on how to fix what happened earlier. I don't want Ely Noona to misunderstand my relationship with Ji Eun Noona. "Yah! Jungkook-ah! Are you ok? Yah! Wake up!" I want to smile when I heard the panic in Ely Noona's voice as I felt her hand on my face. Warmth immediately spread over my chest. Does that mean she also cares for me?

I opened my eyes and saw her looking at me with concern in her eyes. Is there a possibility that she could also fall for someone like me? I carefully put my left hand over her right hand on my cheek and slowly turned to kiss the palm of her hand. I was not this bold before, maybe it's the alcohol. I thought that she was going to hit me but she did not. I think she got shocked because she immediately tried to remove her hand from mine hand but I didn't let go. I slowly sit up trying to fight my dizziness in the process so that we are now face to face. I cupped her face and looked at her straight in the eyes hoping that my feelings will reach her. "Look Ely Noona, what you saw earlier, it was nothing! I didn't kiss her. She kissed me. I used to like her but that already changed since you came. She is just a family friend. Please believe me." I explained with sincerity.
