tick, tock..
tick, tock..
the sound of the clock haunted her as she did her best to focus on the words on the pages. though she had only stayed inside for the whole day, she felt fatigued; tired.
yet, she refused to stop. the exam was only a week away, and with everything that happened in her personal life: studying was a huge task to complete.
"so if fifteen times four is sixty.. the-" tzuyu's thoughts were interrupted by warm hands which wrapped around her waist from behind, "kook?"
"hi, baby." jungkook rested his chin on her shoulder, looking up at her, "you studying?"
"obviously." she put down her pen and rubbed her face in frustration. her boyfriend nodded quietly, not wanting to irritate or distract her even further. he noticed how adorable she looked when she was focused, eyebrows furrowed and biting her lip slightly.
jungkook was on the second to the last year level, which meant his exams were taken earlier than hers.
"kook, can you leave? you're slightly distracting me." she tried to word it as nice as she could, careful not to hurt his feelings, "i don't mean that in a bad way! i just really need to concentrate."
"alright, i will. study hard, okay?" he made her look at him and gave her a little peck on the forehead, "i'll be cheering for you." she nodded, a smile forming on her face.
"i'll try to find time to hang out next week. take care, okay?" tzuyu cupped his cheeks, adjusting his soft locks ever so slightly.
"hey! that was unfair! you didn't even teach me how to play!" tzuyu whined, dropping the controller, flopping onto the bed, "this is foul play.""don't be a sore loser, tzu. i'm just naturally good at games." jungkook boasted, caressing her hair, "i'm just better than you."
"excuse me? don't think i didn't see you search up gta cheats the last time i was here." she hit his chest lightly, pouting, "you're a cheater."
"baby, i might cheat at games, but i would never cheat on you." he blurted out proudly, a cheesy smirk on his face. tzuyu was unimpressed, disgusted at that.
"i didn't agree to being your girlfriend for you to be disgusting." she pretended to throw up, eyeing him.
"i know you love me though."
"yes, and i do not like the fact that i do." she giggled, playing with his fingers.
jungkook smiled fondly, "what did i do in my past life to deserve a girl like you?" he tilted her head up and pressed his lips against hers. she kissed back instantly. the kiss was sweet, merely innocent in nature.
the younger girl pulled away, giggling after noticing a feature he had. "kook, everytime we kiss your ears turn red." his eyes widened, immediately hiding his ears behind his hands, a shy grin painted on his face, "awe~ oppa~! don't hide it, it's cute."
"stop it. i'm not cute." jungkook glared at her, feigning anger, putting on the scariest scowl he could express, "i'm manly, and you of all people should know that!"
"oh really? well then guess i'll just stop buying you banana milk because only kids like that-"
"bABY NO I WAS JUST KIDDING!" he suddenly yelled out loud, pulling her into a tighter hug, nearly crushing her ribcage.
they both started laughing like psychopaths, stomachs hurting after a period of time.
"i love you so much." jungkook whispered in her ear the moment they calmed down, letting her lean her head on his shoulder.
"lies." tzuyu put on a grumpy face, but instead looked adorable, playing around with his already messy hair, "you said that you loved taehyung oppa more."
"yah. i'm not joking~ where's my reply?" his eyebrows furrowed as he looked down at her, making eye-contact.
"i love you too." she replied in a bored voice but laughed immediately after, "forever."
"even with my condition?"
the expression on her face changed once he mentioned his condition. it was a subject that she didn't want to bring up; she just pushed it into the back of her mind, "i don't want to think about that. i just want to spend time with you without any worries."
"tzu, baby, don't worry. the doctors said it got better, so there's nothing to be concerned about." he reassured her, running his fingers through her hair, "i promise, we'll grow old together. have little children named charlie and george-"
"we're not naming our children charlie and george, kook." tzuyu sternly scolded, squinting her eyes.
"fine. we'll have children, you'll be a famous model, i'll be a famous photographer, and we'll have our own happily ever after. how's that sound?"
"amazing."
suddenly, there was a 'ding!' from jungkook's phone. he went to check it out as it might be his mother.
judging from his facial expression, tzuyu immediately got concerned. his eyes widened, mouth agape, "oppa? what is it?"
"it's nothing." he was so obviously lying, raising her concerns, "it was a text from my.. sister. sana noona. just.. drop it. okay?"
the younger saw his eagerness to change the subject, so she had no choice to drop the conversation.
