Finding Us: Jungkook FF

Katy

"You...room...bedroom," he said in his broken English. I still had enough of my wits to point him in the right direction without moving my arms much. Arms that were currently trying to hide the fact that I was buck naked in front of him. What had I been thinking? This wasn't my typical behaviour. I was the responsible and sensible one. I never acted without thinking. He was right to be angry with me, I'd put myself in danger. His jaw ticked maddeningly and I was afraid he'd drop me despite the fact that he was carrying me close to his chest. Not once had he looked below my neck making me feel safe.

Opening the door without my assistance, he lay me on top of my queen sized bed,gently covering me snugly with the duvet. He straightened up and looked around the room. There were clothes slung neatly on a chair by the desk which had my tablet,laptop and a few books. Flowers on the open window which brought in a drafty wind making me shudder. His long feet made him seem like he'd glided from my bed to the window which he closed shut. Like a predator, he moved lithely, taking in the golden chandelier, lavender walls and sheer curtains. The luxury that had been bought by my parents. I knew what he'd see me as, a spoiled rich girl without a care in the world. The thought of him being disgusted by me hurt more than I was willing to admit.

"Thank you...for saving my life," I whispered too afraid to see what his reaction would be. Deafening silence met me while I choked back tears as the reality of what had almost happened to me finally registered. Looking up, I found him standing by the open door his face an unreadable mask. His silver earrings glinted under the lights,giving him a more menacing look. I wasn't afraid of him, I needed him...needed him not to hate me. He looked so good standing there in a white T-shirt, tight blue jeans and black Timberlands. His copper hair with blonde streaks and an undercut made him that much more unattainable.

With a heavy sigh, he turned to walk away and without thinking I said, "Please don't go. Stay with me."

Two days ago...

"What is taking them so long? We have a cocktail party to get to,"my spiffed up step mother Diane said while clutching the pearls around her neck. If I could, I'd have strangled her with them two minutes ago when she'd asked me the same question. Kaidan was finally being discharged from hospital and all she could think of was some party. I glared at her before escaping to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for my chocolate cake, a welcoming gift for Kai who had a sweet tooth.

Baking had always made me happy and it somehow helped fill the void that was missing in my life. I'd saved up enough money throughout college by taking a part time job and my father's pocket money which in turn was used to open Sweet Delights. Thinking of my shop made me miss my home in California and my best friend Keisha who had promised to show up before the end of the week.And knowing her, she'd never miss an opportunity to check out the 'island guys'. I grinned, thinking of how much fun we'd have together.

The sweet faced house keeper Diane had hired came to inform me that my father and Kai had arrived. With flour coated hands, I run to the parlor and enveloped my brother in a tight hug. "Katy, you're chocking me." At six feet, he easily dwarfed my five foot four self. Despite having social anxiety, my brother was a bulky teenager who loved to work out to relieve his stress. Girl's fawned over him and his good looks which went unnoticed by him.

Dark circles beneath his blue eyes showed just how tired he was and how much of an effort he was putting on for our parents. " How are you feeling?" I asked.

"He should rest and take his medications. I don't want another scandal young man. Do you understand? Important investors are here at my behest and I don't want your antics ruining things for me," my father spat angrily. Before either of us could respond, he was gone, his wife following closely behind with the click of her tongue.
