The Man in Him (JoyKook)

6

Sooyoung was reading her material when she saw Jungkook coming out of his room, it's been 5 days after his drunk episode and both of them tried to be civil with each other because Sooyoung still kept her distance from him.

"Where are you going?"

Jungkook simply answered not looking at her way. "Club."

Sooyoung smiled. "I see, don't stay up too late though, okay?"

Jungkook scoffed. "What does it have to do with you?"

"Well, it's just that your cousin entrusted you to me so..."

Jungkook shrug his shoulder. "Whatever." He said then left.

Sooyoung sighed. It's hard looking out for a kid. Though she doesn't know if it's a good thing that he seemed not to mean about what he said a week ago since he's acting weird.

4 days left before Seulgi unnie comes back, after that she can finally stop worrying about him.

Time passed and it was already eleven pm when Jungkook arrived drunk again but atleast he could walk fine without someone holding onto him but he staggered at the door that Sooyoung immediately went to his side, holding onto his waist with his one arm slinging around her shoulder so she could keep him in balance.

She led him to his bedroom and when she was about to put him down on the bed, strong hands gripped her waist bringing her down with him.

Her heart started to pound because of their closeness. Him below and her on top of him. Sooyoung can't help but feel flustered and immediately wanted to get off but his hold on her tightened.

With wide eyes, she stared at him and to her surprise, he was already staring at her and for sure, he can feel the fast beating of her heart.

"Uhh... Sorry, I'll get up now." She's worried that he's crushing him with her weight.

She's about to get up but Jungkook pulled her closer, nuzzling her hair.

"Not yet noona... please."

Sooyoung's hand stayed on his arm and closed her eyes. This shouldn't happen but his tone just tugged her heart that she can't seem to resist him. Since she was leaning in his chest, she can also hear the beating of his heart and it's quite eratic, it made her grin.

"Do I really have no chance noona?" Jungkook asked huskily through her hair. "I want to hear it... your answer. Anything that you'll say to me now, I won't remember tomorrow anyway, even now that I'm holding you..."

Sooyoung looked up to him. "Why should I tell you? You won't remember anyway." but then, a thought came to mind.

She leaned her arms either side of his head, his eyes were slightly open but he was only looking at her, slowly Sooyoung leaned down towards him. She can't believe she's about to do it when he's not himself.

Hot tears spilled down her cheeks as she kissed him on the lips, not fully, not by inch, just enough for her to remember his lips.

I want to be selfish. For once. And if things go well, I'll give you all the chances in the world.
