What Love? // p.jm ✔️

// Chapter 34 \\

// Sunday Morning \\

I rolled over to my side to hug the man I'm so helplessly in love with closer to me for warmth. I smiled both in bliss and happiness.

"Hmm..." Jungkook began to stir awake and groaned, hoarse clearly present in his voice.

I cuddled even closer to him, pressing my chest against his back.

"Good morning, Kookie."

Jungkook chuckled. "G'morning, princess." He turned over on his other side to face me, cupping my cheek once comfortable. I happily nuzzled into his hand.

"How did you sleep?" I asked.

"Pretty well, considering how you were by my side the whole night."

"You and your stupid subtle flirting." Jungkook laughed. "Likewise, though, likewise." I agreed.

I sat upright and stretched out, letting out a small yawn. Rubbing my pounding head, I stood up but halted my movements before going any further.

Last night's events came crashing back down to me like a wave.

Jungkook tried to mask his laughter at my sudden realizations but ended up cracking anyway.

In between giggles he managed to splurge out, "Wow, you really forgot everything that easily?" I turned around and almost scowled at him.

"I'm a lightweight, okay? It's not that funny." I crossed my arms over my bare chest, waiting for Jungkook to get over his small fit of laughter.

He seemed he wouldn't let up, resulting in me crawling onto the bed and pushing him off, making him land on the floor with a hard thud.

"Hey! What was that for?!"

"Laughing at me for a good five minutes, you dummy."

"You just pushed me off the bed, making what you did worse than me laughing at you. You hurt my little hearteu." Jungkook clutched his chest dramatically.

"Pfffttt. That doesn't even make any sense. So what if I pushed you, though?" I picked up a random pillow and threw it in Jungkook's face.

"That's also for laughing right in my face." I declared.

"Oh, now you're gonna get it. You're done for, Lee Ara!"

Bare naked and all, the large curtains wide open for all to see, Jungkook chased me all around the house, eventually catching up to me in the living room, tackling me onto the enormous couch and tickling me to death.

Smiling down at me with his famous bunny smile, it was clear he wouldn't stop until I surrendered. Oh, the irony.

"A-Alright, alright, I give up! You win, Kookie, you win!" I breathed out and held my stomach in relief when he brought his actions to a stop, getting up off the couch and letting me breathe.

Once calmed down, we bathed together and afterwards tried to decide what to do with the free day presented to us. It's very rare for Jungkook to have a free day - right now there's a current situation at his work that it became necessary for an emergency closing. As for me, my training schedule is thrown out of whack which I'm already aware of.

Jungkook and I both agreed to just order some takeout and stay in watching movies all day, genuinely enjoy each other's company while we can.

However, one thing I couldn't get out of my head throughout the day was the concept of who would come out and say 'I love you' first.

Jungkook and I are taking things "slow", slow indeed, though it's been almost a week, we've had sex twice but haven't dropped the L bomb yet.

It's so...ironic and like a form of reverse psychology.

Yes, having sex and saying I love you are within the same range of defining some kind of relationship between two people, which is beginning to dawn on me. Mhm, I'm pretty dense with such subjects and don't think through it very well.

I began to presume and form the theory that Jungkook coaxing me into sex was all he wanted out of me in this relationship.

I contradicted that theory. "He's undoubtedly and faithfully loved me since childhood. That can't be. I guess it just...happened on it's own. Out of my own will, as well. I gave Jungkook a chance and, in the end, I fell for him."

I tore these thoughts away from my mind, since obviously they only seemed to make me come up with more questions rather than reasonable, logical answers.

"Sigh. I really have to stop worrying so much." With that, I fell asleep in Jungkook's arms peacefully.

(A/N: I'm pretty curious myself to see who will drop the 'I love you' first 🤔 As always, more to come my little lovelies!~❤)
