Helping you - BTS Jungkook x Reader

Chapter 9 - Bad Situations

A cascade of scents filled my nose. Tender chicken and beef that looked as though it could be pulled apart with zero pressure applied.

The waiter professionally brings us our mouth-watering delicacies. Placing the huge silver platter in front of me and Jungkook.

I stare at it in awe, trying to take it all in. The vibrant colours of the veg mixed with the dull shadows of the meat.

"Wow, this looks amazing!" Yoongi says, almost drooling over the dish with steam coming off of it located in front of him.

They begin to tuck into the food before my eyes, like ravenous wolves devouring their prey.

I sit back begging the Lord to not let them notice me not eating. Besides I don't want to get between the hungry boys and their meal.

I meet the gazes of the three confused boys. Shit.

Jungkook generously passes me a piece of meat, detecting my hesitation.

My shaky hand takes the chicken from his. I try to look thankful, hoping they will go back to eating so I can pick parts off to try and make it look like I have eaten it.

Their eyes don't leave me and the calorie-filled thing in my hold, waiting for me to take a bite.

Slowly bringing the fat to my dry mouth, my hand shakes as if it is outside in the snow.

Jungkook clasps my arm, promptly regretting it as I let out a yelp in agony.

"Sorry!"

"It's ok."

He pulls me aside, "Why aren't you eating?"

Unable to answer I inspect my feet.

As if a lightning bolt had hit him, he jumped into action remembering how we first met. "Ohh, that's why you fainted. You don't eat do you?"

Pride and concern are both emotions I read in his face right now. Pride for figuring it out and concern for my health.

I move my head up and down in return.

All happy emotions withdraw from his face as sympathy uprises. "I understand this must be hard for you. I will eat most of it but I want you to at least try to eat some. I won't mention this to suga and V if you don't want me to, ok?"

"I'll try, for you."
I catch a glimpse of his gorgeous smile prior to him beginning to tread off.

Grabbing his hand before he can leave I add, "And Thank you, for everything."

Embarrassed I rush back to the dimmly lit booth, Jungkook not far behind me.

As he sits back down I can see the red tint in his cheeks.

"Is everything ok?" Yoongi observes the situation.

"Yeah, everything's fine." Jungkook assures.

Ignoring his suspicions, Suga carries on delving into his treasure.

I deeply inhale and exhale before once again picking up the meat with a delicious aura around it.

Bringing it to my mouth, Jungkook enters my sight. Waiting, expectantly.

I shut my eyes tight, praying to feel the warmth and comfort of my own bed, as I take a small bite and start to chew.

The soft, chicken melts in my mouth whilst the taste burns into my tongue. A subtle yet stunning flavour.

All of me beckons for more. Moving on to the vegetables that accompany the main features. The crunchy texture contrasting the meat makes the meal complete. Prominent flavours on my taste buds.

My watering mouth filled with delectable nutrients.

Jungkook has the last piece of meat. I am intrigued to see how this goes down.
Tae is eyeing the slab of succulent tenderness in the predators tight claws, guarding it with his life.
Like the king of a pack of lions, Jungkook demolishes it right in front of Tae's cute eyes, showing him who's boss.

As soon as we all finish eating Jungkook places his manly hand on my thigh, letting me know he is proud of me.

I feel re-energized, awake and pleasantly full after the meal. Jungkook ate most of it but I still managed to consume more than I ever thought I could.

Time to just wait and see if it comes to stab me in the back later. (Like if I will regret it later).

"I'm so full." As usual Yoongi groans.

"Same."

"Me too."

Diligently, the waiter approaches our table, "Was everything ok with your meals?"

He collects the plates and bowls etc from the table as we all utter, "Yes, thank you."

He departs balancing all of our dirty dishes on various body parts.

"Ok, are we ready to go back to mine?" Tae coos.

We all nod in agreement.

Suddenly, they all pause and scan to each other only to turn their apprehensive profiles to me.

"What...?" I inquisit cautiously.

Unsure of who should tell me, they all discuss something for afew seconds until they break and Taehyung speaks up.

"There's just one problem," I wait for him to continue, "Jimin and Jin will be there..."
