Chapter 23

(I loved all your reactions to the last chapter. Very entertaining i must say.)

Jungkook's POV

I stood stunned as i saw hyung's back disappear in the elevator. Still dazed by the events, i slowly lifted my hand to my lips, where a pair of soft ones had just been. It may sound weird but i could still feel there warmth lingering upon my own lips. The feeling was alien to me. I had been kissed before but none had left me this dumbfound. 

I closed the door behind me and sunk on the floor. What had just happened?

*three days later*

Three days. Three days of hyung avoiding me. Three days of me avoiding hyung. Three days of me getting no hugs or cuddles. Hey that is important too, it is like a need to me. Do you know how cold i felt last night? Hyung is surely going to pay for that.

Back to the main point, i was staring out of the window, still hung up on what had happened three days ago.I don't know how i felt about the event. It had left me with a fuzzy feeling in my stomach, i thought i was about to puke which is why i was feeling weird, but i never puked. Instead, i was left smiling like an idiot.

It was all so weird, i don't know what i am feeling right now. Moreover, is it even okay to feel what i am feeling. Okay i admit it, i may or may not like hyung a bit, over all the time i spent with him i have grown so close to him i don't want to let go off him. Like how can you not? He's so caring, and such a wonderful person. Not to mention, he is really good looking. But at the same time, I am scared.Scared of the circumstances. Was it okay to like someone so early? Was i really ready? All these unanswered questions were eating me alive. What was i really supposed to do?

Hoseok's POV (three days ago)

WHAT DID I JUST DO? 

I promised myself a night before that i will keep my feelings hidden until Jungkook was ready. How could i just lose control suddenly? I had to do something to fix this? But what?

*Now*

After a long day at university i finally came back. After freshening up, i sat down on the couch about to text Jungkook who is most probably going to ignoring it, asking if he ate as rested well today. Only a few minutes had passed when my phone vibrated. I fumbled to find it with high hopes. They were crushed and replace with worry when I saw Jungkook's mother's name on the screen.

"Hello Mrs. Jeon." i asked, voice laced with worry. "Oh Hoseok, hello." she sounded light but i wasn't going to be at rest until i confirmed it, "Mrs. Jeon? Did something happen? Is Jungkook alright? Should i come over? Wait,I am on my way." I finished tying my shoe laces.

I heard her laugh at the other end."No, no nothing bad happened. I just wanted to invite you over for dinner today. I have a few things to discuss with Jungkook mainly, but i don't think he will take them well, i know that you both are close an you know how to control his reactions. It would be a great help if you could come."I sighed in relief when i got to know Jungkook was fine. Confirming my presence i told her i will be there in a short while. 

I knocked on the door, even though i had a key i wanted to appear a bit formal in front of her. "Oh hey hyung..." I saw a face i did not know i was longing to see. I greeted him back awkwardly, the tension high between us. After greeting his mother we went off to Jungkook's room. I was sitting on the desk chair, whereas, he hugged a pillow sitting on his bed. None of us uttered a word not knowing what to do or say.

"About that" we spoke the same thing at the same time. He ushered for me to start. "I am really sorry about that day Jungkook. It must have made you really uncomfortable, ad i get it if you don't want to stay close to me anymore, i did go too far.Please forget about that, that kiss." He stunned after hearing the last sentence.
