'13

His eyes were glued at his laptop screen and his fingers clicking files, not even realizing that Yeri had entered his room, watching how he edited a new video for a while now. And when she wrapped her arms around his neck, her chin resting on top of his head, Jungkook feels, even if it is just for a moment, how time stops around him and how the pace of his heart starts to increase. How the skin where Yeri touched him starts to tingle and how he knows that he is whipped.

"What are you doing, Kookie?"

The boy cleared his throat and managed to get free of her grip, offering her a seat next to him instead, which she takes gladly. Yeri scans the screen of Jungkook's laptop, her eyes focused, and her lips dry before she licks them shortly. "G. C. F.? What's that?" She turns her head to look at him, and Jungkook quickly diverts his eyes, hoping she didn't notice how he stared at her a second ago.

"Uhm, that's what I do to earn some money from time to time. I edit videos for clients that they need for weddings or some other occasions. It's still amateur-ish but some like the rough style I use so I was like, why not make some money with it."

Yeri's eyes grew bigger and Jungkook could actually see how they began to sparkle, "I want you to make a video for me, too! I will pay you twice as much as what your normal clients pay you!" Jungkook chuckled and shook his head slightly before he turned back to his screen, saving the video file. "I am serious, Jungkook!" The boy turns in his chair, capturing Yeri's legs between his thighs, reaching out to hold her hands. "I don't do videos for people I know personally, it's against my moral of work," he lies and stands up to go to his wardrobe.

The girl frowns but her eyes follow the tall figure before she gets up and crosses her arms in front of her chest. "Fine. But you still have to do whatever I say, you are my babysitter did you forget? So now get ready. We are leaving."

Jungkook turns around and looks at her, obviously not pleased with the situation, "Where are we going?" A smirk forms on Yeri's lips and she stretches, sighing softly. "I have to look good for Sehun's party! Come on, it's shopping time!"

A couple of hours later, Yeri started to give up on her perfect outfit already. "All those clothes look awful. What happened to the fashion, ugh." Yeri pouted as they walked into the 8th store. Jungkook followed her, his hands in his pockets as he watched how Yeri was checking every dress she noticed. "I want to look different! I want him to notice me, you know? I was always the wallflower who admired him from afar, but I finally want to make a move!" She turned around to meet Jungkook's eyes, "And maybe even get my first kiss, who knows?" Yeri said with a blush before she turned back around as she felt shy. She grabbed an outfit to change the topic. "Let me just try this on, you have to tell me how it looks okay? But you have to be serious and 100% honest!"

Jungkook nodded with a weak smile and followed her to the changing rooms. He sat down on the couch that was in front of the cabin and looked around while Yeri was trying the outfit on. The shopping mall wasn't as crowded as it usually was, probably because the majority left the city to go on vacation and to spend their time in their hometowns. How Jungkook wished to go back to Busan too, but he couldn't. Not only because he had to look after Yeri, but also because he was scared to face his parents.

The door of the changing room opened and Yeri stepped out shyly. She pushed her hair behind her ear and chewed on her lower lip. Jungkook blinked slowly and stood up, checking her from head to toe. Her hair fell on her bare shoulders, the blue, slightly oversized hoodie covered her chest. Not used to seeing her in shorts and fishnet tights, he quickly diverted his eyes as a light blush covered his cheeks.
