Guardian Angel

6. White Day

You played with the frill of your dressed as you looked at your reflection in the mirror. You bit your lip nervously.

You were wearing the same baby blue dress you had worn the first day you had seen Jungkook. You had no idea what was appropriate to wear for the occasion mainly because you were really nervous to see Jungkook.

This was going to be the first time you were going to see him after he had kissed you in the alley. That day was burnt into your memory and every time you closed your eyes a picture of him leaning into you flashed in your head. You reapplied your lip gloss and checked to make sure your hair was still in place. You hadn't dressed up much, just lip gloss and eyeliner. You had styled your hair to fall in soft waves and you had placed a few strands in front to frame your face.

You took a deep breath and stepped out of Jimin's room. You walked to the living room to watch some TV to calm your nerves when you heard noises from the kitchen. You walked to the kitchen to find Jimin wearing an apron as he poured water into a pan.

"What are you doing?" You asked as you walked up to him and peaked at the contents of the pan. Till now nothing but water that was slowly bubbling.

"Oh, I'm m-" He stopped when he caught sight of you. Until now he had had his back to you and he had turned to answer. You felt yourself turning red as he stared at you, lips parted.

"What?" You mumbled as you glanced at the fridge trying to clear your head.

"You-You look beautiful." He whispered and you felt your cheeks becoming beet red.

"Thanks." You accepted the compliment and awkwardly walked out of the kitchen.

"Where are you going?" He asked as he took of his apron, following you.

"Oh, Jungkook's taking me to a restaurant. He didn't say why." You replied as you sat on the couch trying not to stare at Jimin. He was wearing a black dress shirt tucked into trousers with shiny black formal shoes. His silver blond hair was parted with a few strands falling on his face. Basically, seriously sexy.

"Today? He's taking you to a restaurant today?" He asked voice dangerously low.

"Yeah, why?" You asked sliding back a bit on the couch to get away from him. Right now he was emitting this playboy aura that you couldn't stand without probably drooling or...

"No reason but I need to give you something so just wait a sec." He shouted, interuppting your thoughts, as he walked to his room. You curiously watched him leaving the room and felt your curiosity increasing when you heard cupboards being opened.

"Ahh! Where did I keep it!?" You heard him shout from the room and chuckled at how cute he sounded right now. You stood up to go and help him but just then you heard his voice.

"Oh, I found it never mind!" He called as he came out of his room with a small but long box in his hands. It looked like a jewellery box. You watched with wide eyes as he came close to you and handed you the box. You stared at it in wonder and confusion. What the hell was happening here?

"It's to make up for me being such a jerk the past month. I hope you'll forgive me." He admitted as he shot you a small smile. You glanced up at him before opening the box. In it lay a beautiful necklace. It had two chains, the first having a pearl enclosed within small silver vines and the second had a small sparkling crystal attached to it. You picked it up with shaking fingers. No one had ever given you something so beautiful.

"It's beautiful." You whispered under your breath as you held it up.

Jimin smiled as he took the necklace from you. He turned you around and you felt a small spark flow from where his fingers touched your bare skin. He placed the necklace on your throat and you touched it gently as Jimin fixed the clasp of the necklace.

You turned around to thank him but you found yourself face to face with him, your noses touching. His warm breath grazed your ear and you swallowed as you bit your lip and looked up at his sparkling chocolate brown eyes. His eyes were trained on your lips and you felt your breathing become more rapid as he licked his own lips. Suddenly you had a flashback of both of you standing in more or less the same position with the same heavy atmosphere except it had taken place in a stall.

Just then the bell rang and Jungkook barged into the apartment. In the blink of an eye Jimin somehow transported himself to the other side of the room.

"Y/n!" Jungkook cheered as he came to you and hugged you. You slowly hugged him back, your mind still sluggish from the events that had been taking place just a few seconds back.

"Jimin hyung!" He exclaimed when he caught sight of Jimin standing at the entrance to the kitchen. You turned to find him watching Jungkook and you. His eyes which had been dancing minutes back were now dark and heavy with sadness and...jealousy.

"Hey." He said weakly as he gave Jungkook the ghost of a smile and turned to go to the kitchen.

"One minute. Just wait for me, okay?" Jungkook murmured as he walked away from you to go the kitchen. You watched him leave and you continued watching the hallway to the kitchen as you heard soft voices talking inside.

Jungkook's POV

"Hyung, what happened?" I asked frowning as he lifelessly chopped vegetables.

"I'm breaking up with Seo-yeon." He stated and I stared at him in shock.

"Why? I thought you loved her and today of all days?!" I whisper-shouted to make sure Y/n didn't hear by mistake. I didn't like keeping the fact that Jimin hyung was dating a secret from her but it was his secret to tell nonetheless.

"No. I'm going to do it tomorrow. This is like a compensation for what I'll do tomorrow." He said as he waved at the various pots and pans on the kitchen counter.

"Hyung are you sure?" I asked as I crumpled my brow in concern. Hyung was never one to make rash decisions but right now what I was seeing looked really unthought out.

"Yeah. I-I don't know when or how but I just stopped loving her. I think it was a slow process but it happened and I don't want to keep her on a string. So, I'm cutting the string." He finished with a sardonic smile. I started to speak again when he cut me.

"Does Y/n know what today is?" He interrupted and immediately guilt poured through every pore of my skin.

"No." I replied looking away from him. I didn't have the guts to look him in the face and tell him this. Y/n knew very little about Korean culture and today I had taken a big advantage of it.

Today was 14 March or White Day as most people knew it as. Today was the day that all the guys who had received gifts from girls on Valentine's Day were supposed to pay them back by giving them something. The gifts given were because of two things- obligation and love. Guys could give gifts to their seniors, elder sisters or even bosses out of respect while some could give it to their girlfriends out of love. I was following the latter.

"Jungkook, you should tell her. This isn't fair to her." He chided and I guiltily nodded my head.

"Also you're taking her out to a restaurant that's pretty big. Are you sure you're making the right step?" He continued and I looked at him in surprise. What was he talking about? Of course I wanted to take things forward with Y/n. The kiss had made one thing clear and that was that I wanted Y/n to be mine.

"I'm sure hyung. Don't worry." I smiled before heading out of the kitchen. I smiled at Y/n as I watched her walk towards me with a worried look on her beautiful face.

"Is everything alright?" She asked as she took my hand and glanced back at the kitchen. I bit my lip in joy as I glanced at her hand holding mine.

"Hyung'll be fine. Just give him some space." I reassured her as she nodded her head.

I shouted my goodbye as I walked out of his apartment, Y/n in hand.

A/N:
