My Hero : Jungkook

Chapter 7

   I slowly slid down the wall, until I sat on the floor, with my knees to my chest and my back against the wall. I sat there for a little bit, trying to regain my composure. I put my head in my hands, taking a few deep breaths.
     What just happened?
     I stood up eventually, and went into the bathroom to change. I smiled half heartedly at the white crop top, jeans, and timberlands I was given. Reluctantly, I made my way towards the lobby. I was still pretty shaken up from earlier, and I really dreaded having to face Jungkook...
     I saw them standing in a circle, mostly on their phones and chatting. I hesitated and took a deep breath when I saw Jungkook's back, of course in his white t-shirt and timberlands. Sighing, I walked forwards smiling at V when he waved me over. I noticed Jungkook turn around too, but I kept my eyes focused on V. God knows how my body would react...I no longer trusted myself around him. Earlier, I should of been able to push him away...Why couldn't I? All I knew for now that this boy was different to any other I had ever interacted with, he was too dangerous, one step too close had completely given him all control over me...
     "Matching? Really?" Suga teased, as I walked over to stand next to V. He moved aside, leaving me a space in between him and Jungkook. I swerved behind him attempting to squeeze in the other side as innocently as I could. V looked at me confused, before seemingly giving up and scooching back over closer to Jungkook.
     "I didn't know what she liked so I just got her what I would've liked if I was her" Jungkook explained casually.
     I jumped as RM put his arm on my shoulder, brushing past my ear. I remembered the feeling of Jungkook's breath on my neck and heard his words replaying in my head, as he had whispered them in my ear...
     "Don't do that unless you want a reaction..."
     "Well, someone's a little antsy this morning," RM laughed. Another arm soon rested on my other shoulder. What the hell am I, an arm rest? I rolled my eyes.
     I felt my breath hitch suddenly when a familiar voice taunted me. "I wonder why that could be," Jungkook asked innocently. I could feel him smirking at me, but I refused to react. How'd he even get there?
     "Maybe it's lack of sleep." Jimin suggested, "Jungkook probably snored so loud she couldn't sleep."
    "Or maybe they were up all night...I dunno...Having fun?" RM suggested, looking down at me.
     "Wh-What?!?" I put my arms up defensively.
     "She did look pretty shaken up this morning," Jin joined in. I wanted to say something smart back, but then again, I was talking to BTS, right? I was just a fan, I really wasn't sure I had the right to.
     I sighed helplessly, and glanced down at the time on my phone
     "Time to go," I glanced up, surprised as a hand took mine.I recognized Jungkook dragging me towards a car with the rest of BTS getting inside. I slipped in, sitting between JHope and Jimin.
     "Here," JHope passed me his phone, a map displayed across the screen.
     I looked back at him blankly.
     "Type in your address" Jungkook pointed, from across Jimin. I nodded, not lifting my head from looking at the screen.
     "Here!" I passed the phone back, cheerfully. We rode through the car in an uncomfortable silence. You could cut the tension with a knife. "So...thanks," I said awkwardly.
     "No problem!" Jimin responded, smiling.
     "Why the long face? You just met BTS, your idols since you were 13... Are we not as much as you hoped?" Suga asked, raising an eyebrow from across the vehicle.
     "No! Not at all!" I shook my head, "It's quite the opposite, actually."
     "What do you mean?" V asked, confused.
     "I think I like you all way to much," I smiled as I noticed all the members beaming at my compliment. "I feel kinda sad to leave already..." I explained. I expected to receive nods of agreement, but to my surprise, I only got silence. I realized the members exchanging glances all around the car. It was like they were communicating with each other through their eyes. I puffed, wishing I hadn't given away that I knew Korean earlier.Tch, are they that tired of me?
     I stared out the window as we approached the building. I smiled as I looked up to our room, and saw Victoria eating on our beanbag. I was happy to see her, but disappointed that I would be leaving BTS. I felt my heart sink as we pulled into the lot. I waved sadly, as I stepped out of the limo. I was about to close the door when Jungkook stepped out too.
     "What-"
     "I'm just seeing you in," Jungkook clarified. I nodded, then turned around. I walked ahead, swiftly. I opened the door, and quickly made my way through the lobby, not wanting to look back. I paused briefly, realizing I had always taken the elevator. I strutted past it, swinging the door open to the stairway. Running up the stairs, I was determined to reach the top without having to face Jungkook. Suddenly as I stepped up, a hand grabbed my wrist, causing me to twirl around, falling backwards.
     "Woah!" I yelped, as his hand covered my mouth, while he caught me with his other.  My eyes widened as he removed his hand from my mouth, allowing me to speak. I looked up at his perfect face, trying to read his straight expression. "What are—" I started, loudly.
     "Shh!" Jungkook warned me, "their going to think I'm harassing you or something."
     That's pretty damn close to what's happening right now though, isn't it? I thought, obeying him anyways and shutting my mouth.
     "When are you going to stop avoiding me?" He asked in a sort of demanding tone, that made me slightly nervous and excited at the same time.
     "What..." I repeated, pretending to be confused.
     He leaned in closer, "I asked you, when you were going to stop avoiding me."
     I trod to calm myself, attempting to wriggle out of his grasp, but he held me firmly.
     "It doesn't matter anyways. It's not like I'm ever going to see you again..." I trailed off, shifting my gaze to the floor below us.
     He opened his mouth to speak, but stopped shortly before any words came out. Something seemed to be bothering him.
     I sighed, deciding that I really didn't want to leave Jungkook, my bias, the Golden maknae, Kpop idol, International playboy, and my celebrity crush of 5 years by avoiding him. "I'm sorry. I won't avoid you anymore," I apologized sincerely.
     "Ever?" Jungkook asked. I frowned, it seemed like he knew something I didn't.
     "Ever...even if I see you again when I'm like, 80," I shrugged.
     "Promise?" He smirked.
     "...promise," I nodded, reluctantly.
     "I'm going to make you want to break that promise so bad," he whispered, in a low voice.
     I was about to ask how he planned to do that, but the door swung open, and Jungkook let me go quickly.
     "Hey!" JHope grinned from the bottom of the staircase. I tilted my head to the side in confusion as the rest of BTS flowed into the stairway.
     "How did you know we were here?" I asked, leaning over the railing to look down at them.
     Jungkook wrapped an arm around my waist, and pulled me away from the edge. "Your going to hurt yourself," He warned, "you forgot your suitcase."
     I looked down from a distance now, after being lectured on being too close to the edge. He was right, Suga was walking in with my suitcase.
     "How did you kn-"
     "Come on, let's go," Jin interrupted me, and I looked at him, annoyed.
     "Are you guys coming all the way to the room?" I asked, while walking up.
     "Yep." They responded in sync.
     "Uh...I should probably warn you about Victoria then," I remembered, and giggled at just the thought of her reaction.
     "Victoria?" Jimin asked.
     "Oh yeah, is she your friend? The one who texted me?" Jungkook asked, laughing.
     "Yeah."
     "She texted you? When? I thought you didn't respond to fans?" V chimed in.
     "No, I stole Zoey's phone," He confessed, not even showing the littlest signs of guilt.
     "Really?" RM chuckled.
     "Yeah, I unlocked it with her thumbprint while she was sleeping," Jungkook continued.
     "Jungkook!" Jimin slapped him lightly on the back, shooting a apologetic look at me. I smiled back, letting him know I didn't hold him responsible and I was okay with it.
     "What did she say?" JHope asked.
     "Nothing much, just explained how Zoey was obsessed with me and stuff. I'm her favorite, by the way," Jungkook stated, proudly. I rolled my eyes.
     "Anyways, I actually want you guys to be careful around Victoria. She's probably gonna fangirl like crazy, she's not as good at containing her excitement as me," I explained, laughing.
