SpartAce: Eternal Love

Jung Kook's lullaby

JONG KOOK opens the room of their hotel and drags in both his and Ji Hyo's luggage.

He couldn't help but be amazed by the room. It is big and wide, thanks to Jae Seok who paid and booked the room himself.

There is a double leather couch facing a wide TV attached to the wall. Behind one of the couch is a counter of a minibar, complete with stools and a huge fridge containing a variety of beverages, from soft to hard drinks.

"As expected from Jae Seok Hyung." he says to Ji Hyo who is standing right beside him in the doorway.

He glances down to see her reaction, and sees her face blushing red. "What's wrong? "

"There's only one bed? " she asks, her eyes far ahead the room.

There, at the far side of the suite, stands a glasswall giving a nice view of the sky above and city below. Next to it lies a King size bed covered in white and gold sheets that seems to be so comfortable and warm that it makes jong Kook want to go and just sleep all day.

But he chuckles at Ji Hyo's comment.

All these amazing sight in front of her and all she could think about is that there is only one bed for the two of them.

"Yah, we're now married. Hadn't you think this true the moment you said yes to me? " he asks.

She blinks guiltily aa if she had just realized it. "I hadn't really given that part much thought." she answers, her shy expression  amusing Jong kOok even more.

He scoffs with humor as he gently pushes her inside so he could close the door.

She walks towards the couch and sits over it. He places their luggage to a corner near the closet, and he looks around more.

He walks towards the glass wall. The view below is breath-taking. There is just something about the place that makes him feel more relaxed.

It might have came with the knowledge that they could walk around here without people crowding and taking pictures.

"Hey, come here. " he says and turns to Ji Hyo's direction. "The view here is gre—" his voice falters as he notices her uncomfortable expression in the face.

He sighs. He completely understands her. He had known her for years to know what is exactly going on in her mind.

Unlike other girls, Ji Hyo hates the idea of romance. He is even dying to find out where she had thrown her sweet bone away. The girl is totally clueless when it comes to dating. So being here in another country alone with him, with the word 'honeymoon' being plastered in her mind, is freaking her out.

All he ever wants is for her to enjoy this little vacation before they go back to reality, where their work might actually take all their time and they could barely spend time with each other.

So, though he is totally frustrated with the situation, he tries hard to be patient with her.

He draws near her and sits right next to her in the couch.

"Yah." he calls in a soft tone.

She looks at him, her expression now blank and unreadable.

He pulls her in his arms and says, "Loosen up. I'm not gonna do anything that you don't want."

Her eyes implies that he knows what he is talking about, and her face turns sorry. "Oppa.. "

"Stop thinking about it. It makes you more of a pervert among us two." he says with a smirk to lighten up the mood.

And he is pleased to see his expected reaction from Ji hyo's face.

"Yah. I'm not—!"

He ruffles her hair and heads to their luggage with a chuckle before she could start the banter.

Jong Kook might have been wrong in saying what he said earlier to Ji Hyo.

He is finding out now that it is easier said than done.

He is now lying in the bed, staring at the ceiling, with Ji Hyo comfortably sleeping right next to him.

After having a date around Tokyo and dinner at the hotel's restaurant, they had spent the rest of the night just staring at the night view outside, feeling each other's heartbeat as he cherished the moment of not having to say good-bye from each other again.

Until Ji Hyo fell asleep in his arms and he had to carry her to the other side of the bed. She did not even wake up.

And he thought he could sleep, too.

But he couldn't.

Every unintentional brush from any of Ji Hyo's body makes him flinch, and ignites the once cold fire inside him.

Every tiny movement of her makes his heart skip a beat and then go crazy all over again.

Now, it is burning hot that he could not even feel the airconditioning, and it is making him wide awake, completely aware of Ji Hyo's warmth right next to him, clearly hearing her soft breaths.

He had tried to make himself fall asleep, but he had proven all his attempts a failure. He had tried taking deep breaths to calm himself, but it is completely useless.

He wants to even just hug Ji Hyo so badly, but he is afraid of what he wants to do next once he does. So he keeps as much distance from her as possible.

He closes his eyes again and thinks of other things. He starts to calm down. His breathing is going back to normal. The tornado in his stomach is slowly dying down.

Suddenly, Ji Hyo stirs. She rolls to his direction and places her head over his shoulder, wrapping an arm across his chest. Alarm bells starts whirring in his system, and he takes deep breaths. Very. Deep. Breathes.

This woman is starting to make my life difficult!,  he thinks.

But he couldn't help it.

He places an arm under her head, letting her make it her pillow, and he places his other hand over her shoulder, maintaining his deep breaths to control himself.

As he calms down, he starts to hear the rhythm of his and Ji Hyo's heartbeat and the sound of her breathing, and it starts turning into his lullaby, making him fall asleep eventually.
