CHAPTER 21

ELY's P.O.V

I woke up from the ringing sound of an alarm. I looked for it with my eyes still closed around the bed when I felt something different. I felt the soft blow of breath on my face and that made me open my eyes. I was greeted by Jeon Jungkook's handsome face a few inches from mine. I instinctively moved away. What the f*ck?!

I suddenly got up almost falling on the floor in the process. I felt dizzy because I got up way too fast (orthostatic hypotension) but I shook it off. I am looking at Jeon Jungkook's unconscious form as I was trying to recall what had happened last night. I blinked my eyes multiple times and tilted my head sideways when I remembered hearing something before I dozed off. It was someone saying "I think I am falling in love with you, Ely Noona." I stare at the guy sleeping peacefully on the bed. Wait? Did he say it? Was that real or was I just dreaming? After a few seconds I smiled ridiculously and shook my head. That is impossible maybe it was just a dream. I scoffed. Jeon Jungkook falling in love with someone like me? Impossible!

I was in the middle of pondering when suddenly the door of the room burst open. "Good morning sleepyheads! Breakfast in bed!" Maiko greeted us cheerfully while Jin placed a tray of foods on the foot of our bed. The foods look delicious but my attention immediately got diverted to the two people who just came in. I glared at Jin but he just winked at me. My brows immediately furrowed and I grabbed his collar in annoyance as I remember what they did last night. "Why did you lock us up?" I saw the frightened look on his face before Maiko intervened. "Ely, relax! We were just, well...." Maiko was trying to remove my grip from Jin's collar but I only held tighter. "Ely, calm down. We can explain." Maiko uttered in a hurry, I saw Jin nod his head in agreement and so I let Jin go. A few seconds passed but Jin and Maiko remained silent. I raised my eyebrows at them as I crossed my arms across my chest while I waited for their answer. "Well..." Jin cleared his throat before he turned to Maiko. "Come on, Mai, let's not disturb them. Jungkook looks so exhausted!" Jin said while taking Mai's hand and dragging her out of the bedroom so fast I wasn't able to react. I looked at them confusedly. Wait! Did they just leave me without answering my question? They completely ignored my question and another realization dawned to me. My eyes grew so wide that I think it's getting out of the socket when I realized what Jin implied.

"Yah, this is not what you think it is!" I shouted as I follow them out. "You definitely got the wrong idea. Nothing happened!" I sound so defensive but it is the truth. "It's okay. You don't have to explain anything." Maiko replied without looking at me as she walked away in Jin's hand in a very fast pace. I looked at their intertwined hands and tilted my head in confusion. Wait, did I miss something? When did they....? How did? Suddenly tons of questions popped in my head but I got distracted by the smell of food. The smell of freshly cooked pancakes assaulted my nostrils. I stopped and inhaled the fragrant scent before I decided to follow where the delicious smell is coming from. Suddenly I forgot why I was mad and I can feel my stomach rumbling. I'm hungry.

My nose brought me to the kitchen. I look around and some of my co-members were already there seated on the table. "Oh, look who is awake now! Good morning baby girl! But wait, aren't you supposed to have breakfast in bed with Jungkook?" Josan's greeting instantly turned my mood around and I remembered what they did last night. "You little piece of shi-!" I aggressively walked towards Josan to give her a little lesson but she moved way fast. She stood up from her chair and ran on the other side of the dining table. "What is your problem? What did I do?" She asked with a huge smile plastered on her face. She is playing dumb. I know her too well. "Don't pretend to be innocent I know you were the mastermind of what happened last night!" I snapped at her. She started laughing like a lunatic and that made me lose my patience. I know it's only the early morning but my mood is already ruined. I am on my boiling point. "So, did you guys have some fun last night?" Josan asked with a sneer and those made me grab the knife on the table and throw it in her direction.
