My Hero : Jungkook

Chapter 10

"Are you okay now?" Jungkook checked, sticking his head out of the window. I nodded and turned back towards the director.
"I'm ready."
He nodded, "3..2..1"
I ran across the scene, kind of slowly. It was really hard to run in heels, because I was constantly worried about tripping and breaking my ankles. I ran past Jungkook, slowing down and allowing him to grab my hand and pull me into the car. I looked at him, attempting to look surprised. He looked back at me, clearly amused. He mocked me, making his eyes really big. I kicked him from across the car. It wasn't fair that I couldn't react to his teasing because my face was facing the camera, unlike his.
"Okay, 3...2..1...Cut!" The director yelled, stepping away from the camera and giving us all a thumbs up.
"We good?" V questioned. To my annoyance, the director shook his head.
"Why'd you kick him?" The director asked me, annoyed.
"He was mocking me!" I defended myself.
"Well we need to re-shoot it," He instructed us. "Also, try to look more genuinely surprised. It looked a little forced. This time Jungkook is going to drive around the building, then get out and perform the dance. You just have to stay in the car. If you get out you might accidentally come into the video frame. "
I nodded, then glared at Jungkook.
"3..2..1..."
I ran from them again, and was pulled into the car. I was sitting down next to him, when I was getting ready to act surprised, my eyes widening gradually. I froze when I felt his hand make contact with my knee.  I looked at him as he started driving across the stage, staring straight forwards, with one hand on the wheel. I sat still, taken aback as his hand slowly moved up my thigh. He slowed down slightly as we turned the corner, off of the video frame. He turned around and smirked at my expression.
"Why'd you do that?!?" I  exclaimed, once I had regained my self-control.
He shrugged casually, and then explained, "I was making you actually look surprised."
I rolled my eyes, looking down to notice his hand still there.
"You can take your hand back now."
He looked at me smugly, before refusing to move and facing forwards once again. I glared at him. His touch was making me extremely nervous. I gasped as he squeezed my thigh playfully.
"Stop it..." I whined. He seemed to be enjoying my discomfort.
"But your so cute when your flustered," He teased, pulling his hand away
Did he just call me cute?
I glared at him, when he looked over at me. Suddenly, he apologized. "I'm sorry. I only did it for the music video," He explained, before turning onto the set again and rushing out of the car.
I sat still, confused. This boy had got to stop leaving me in this condition. If I heard him right, he just called me cute. I felt my heart sink in realization. He also said he only did it for the music video. I stopped myself abruptly. I had already been through this. He was too dangerous for me, and way out of my league. So why did I even feel disappointed? I was so consumed in my own thoughts that I hadn't realized the three vocalists approaching me 15 minutes later.
"Hey!" They called, waving at me through the window. I blinked, before waving back.
"It's lunch break!" Jungkook called. I looked up excitedly. I was starving. I mean, I'm always hungry, but right now I was really hungry. I ran out of the car and joined them as fast as I could. "Where is lunch?" I asked, full of energy.
"Someone's hungry!" Suga called from a distance.
I looked up to see Suga, Victoria, Jin, JHope, and RM standing by a table. I ran over, hugging Victoria.
"Food!" She exclaimed. I nodded, excited. We ate together quickly. The meal was delicious, and after everyone was done, I stood up, not sure where to go.
"Hey, you need to change again," I  turned around to see Jungkook holding a bag of clothes. I took them, thanked him, and turned around and walked towards the nearest porta-potty.
"You really want to change in there?" Jungkook asked, looking at me doubtfully.
"Is there anywhere else to go?" I questioned, coldly.
"Yeah, follow me," He started walking towards a fully closed in room, unlike the stages we were just on. I ran to catch up, thanking him quietly as he held the door for me. I stopped to look around. One wall was fully mirrored, where I assumed you watched yourself as you danced. There was a wooden table in the corner, with speakers on the ends. The walls were concrete and grey, and on the right there was a door for a bathroom.
"Why are we in a dance studio?" I asked him, confused.
"I'm going to teach you how to dance," He smiled.
"Really?!" I asked, psyched. In my spare time, when I was too lazy to study Korean, me and Victoria would sing along to bts songs, while memorizing the choreography. I never had the time to get private dance lessons, so just like Korean, I had to teach myself. I skipped to the bathroom excitedly and changed into some black athletic shorts, a cropped black t-shirt, and sneakers. I was still upset about Jungkook had manipulated me for the music video, but I had to push that to the side for now. I took an elastic from the counter, pulled my hair up into a quick high ponytail, and unlocked the door. 
"That was...extremely fast," Jungkook laughed, shaking his head. I was jumping around, unable to contain my excitement.
"Do you like dancing?" Jungkook asked, curiously.
"I've always wanted to learn how to dance properly," I explained.
"Really? What's your favorite song? Show me what you can do."
"I dunno. I can't choose my favorite," I shook my head helplessly.
"Let me see your music. I can probably choose," He offered, and I handed my phone to him. I smiled, knowing he probably wouldn't be able to choose either. "BTS? All of your songs are from BTS?" He laughed, "You have all of them! I can't choose between my own songs!" He bit his lip thoughtfully. Suddenly, his face lit up, "I know! How about I hit shuffle, and you can do the dance of whatever song comes up first!"
"Okay!" I exclaimed, "Who should I dance as?"
"Me," He shrugged, walking over to the corner to judge my dancing.
"Okay, you can start now. Are you going to lecture me on what I do wrong?" I asked.
"Yeah," he laughed, "Just because it's my part."
I sighed, then nodded towards him, letting him know it was okay to hit shuffle and start the music. I recognized the beat immediately, and remembered the dance. I got a feel for the music, before starting the dance.
"Nae pi ttam nunmul nae majimak chumeul da gajyeoga ga" I enjoyed the music, humming along to Blood Sweat and Tears. (go download i if u havent its rly good). I danced to the beat, smiling every time I nailed a difficult jump or turn through the air, or just a difficult dance move in general. I had closed my eyes, absorbing their beautiful voices filling the space. Suddenly, I stopped moving when the chorus came up. I knew exactly what I was supposed to do, me and Victoria had danced to this song multiple times before,  but we had just jokingly imitated BTS's moves. They put the back of their hand over their faces, and put their other hands down...below the belt. It was such a strange dance move for a girl to try to perform, that me and Victoria usually just laughed and waited for that part to pass.I opened my eyes and stood still, looking awkwardly at Jungkook.
"You have to do the whole dance," he told me, seriously.
"What?" I asked, surprised.
"Do the whole dance," He said, giving me a wry smile.
I shook my head.
"Do I need to teach you how to do it?" He asked.
I shook my head again, more quickly and distinctively this time. I bit my lip in frustration, as he backed the song up. I did the dance move reluctantly, covering my face with my hand but putting my other hand behind my back. I avoided eye contact and continued dancing, hoping he didn't notice. I sighed as the music stopped. He stood up and walked over to me, and I cursed under my breath. Why, out of all songs, did it have to be this one?
"At least put your hand here," he said, pointing to the elastic waistband on my shorts. I nodded, and tried again, just with him standing closer and watching me. He stopped the music again, and walked in front of me.
"That was better," he praised me.
"Thanks..." I replied, awkwardly.
"Do it," He instructed me. I tried, and paused in the position. "Okay, that's really good," He reached out, trying to adjust the position of my hand above my head. I stood up and pushed his hand away forcefully, when he tried to touch it, causing him to step back in surprise. I looked at the ground, upset.
"What's the matter?" He asked, tilting his head to the side.
"Nothing..." I muttered, feeling myself tear up slightly. He needed to stop giving me false hope. He couldn't make me feel like that, and then say it was just to make the music video better.
    "Hey, actually. You've been different since lunch," He insisted, lifting my chin up with his fingers, forcing me to look at him. Tears started to form in the corners of my eyes, and I did my best to avoid his soft, comforting gaze.
    "What happened before...in the car... it was only for the music video, am I correct?" I whispered, ashamed of myself.
    I watched, as his eyes changed from gentle to serious and intimidating in seconds. Unexpectedly, his hand drifted down to my hip. It settled there, and pulled me closer. I inhaled sharply. I was against his warm chest, chiseled to perfection. Must he be so perfect? I splayed my hand against it, intending to push him away, but instead I left it there. My breathing quickened, as did his. "Do you really think that was the only reason?" He asked, as he began nuzzling my neck with delicate kisses. I urged myself to push away, but I couldn't. My limp body began to shake lightly. His head was angled slightly to the side as his lips came closer and closer to mine. I was surprised to find my own lips parted.Our breaths mingled, and I could feel my heart fluttering inside my chest. At first, it was a soft, gentle butterfly of a kiss. He drew me in closer, as he paused too look at my face. The swirls of emotion I saw in his eyes made me gasp. His lips brushed against mine again, not innocently this time, but hot, fiery, passionate, and demanding. I attempted to pull away one last time before I lost myself but I couldn't seem to... my senses had been seduced and I could no longer think straight. Jungkook was still kissing me for a few seconds before I finally managed to push him away, gasping.
     "What..." I fell to the ground, and covered my face out of embarrassment.
     "I'm a pretty great kisser, huh?" He laughed at me.
     My heart was beating wildly as millions of thoughts rushed through my head. Did he just kiss me? He did? W-what? I got up on my feet slowly. My legs were shaking, and my cheeks were hot. I refused to look at him. I trembled, tripping over my own feet as I tried to walk over to the table.
     "What you can't even walk now?" He taunted me, rubbing my head and chuckling, before walking out of the room, leaving me to join them after I learned the dance. He threw a CD on the table as he walked out and then shut the door behind him.
     I reached for the CD shakily, before grabbing my own hand. I leaned against the table in frustration. What was I doing? How had I let myself fall for someone so easily?
