Hoseok's Bride

Chapter 16

~Jiyeon~

It was hard for me to swallow my food since Hoseok was right across from me. In fact, I choked while drinking juice because of the look in his eyes. Instead of helping me like every normal person would, Hoseok chuckled as I choked. When I was done choking, I shot him a glare and Hoseok shook his head, smiling as he continued to eat.

"Pack your things," Hoseok said, hands on the counter, standing opposite of me. We'd finished eating and I went to do the dishes while Hoseok was packing his things.

I continued to wash the dishes, "What time are we leaving?"

"Our flight is in in two hours."

I stopped what I was doing and stared at him, "Why didn't you wake me up earlier then? What if there's a lot of traffic or..." I trailed off when I saw Hoseok watching me. "What?"

His eyes were filled with mischief as he replied, "I figured, after our activities last night, me being your first and all, you'd need proper rest."

My jaws dropped. "You did not just say that!"

Hoseok grinned and glanced down at his watch, "I need to make a few phone calls. Finish up and pack your things."

~Hoseok~

They were going to be late. Hoseok needed to return the car too and he can't do that if Jiyeon is taking her sweet time. He knew women took forever to get ready but he was surprised when Jiyeon was really taking her time.

Hoseok opened the door to the car and took a few steps towards the house and yelled, "Jiyeon! We need to go or we'll be late."

"Coming!" Hoseok heard Jiyeon yelled back.

He shook his head at that. She'd been saying that for a while now and he knows she isn't going to be here any time soon.

Hoseok got into the car and start it up while he waited. He checked his phone and saw a text from Yoongi.

We need to go over some things before the concert. Can you come over as soon as you land?

Knowing how important it is that everyone is there, Hoseok replied back, I'll be there.

Hoseok put his phone away and continued to wait until he saw Jiyeon walking towards the car with a gift bag. He couldn't stop laughing because she was carrying it like it was super important to her. Did she find something she liked while she was at the shops or something?

She opened the door and sat down, placing the bag carefully on her lap. When Hoseok didn't reverse out, she glanced at him.

"I was going to give it to you tomorrow," she muttered. Before Hoseok could even make sense of what she'd said, Jiyeon placed the bag on his lap.

"For me?"

"Yes."

Hoseok opened the bag and pulled out a box. Curious to see what was inside, he carefully opened the box and saw a three-leaf clover leather bracelet. He was surprised by this and didn't say anything for a while.

"Did you get this for me?" he asked, slowly, looking over at her. She nodded shyly.

Hoseok's eyes went to the leather bracelet again as he held it in his hand. He didn't realise he was staring at it so intensely that Jiyeon was starting to fidget beside him, maybe feeling uncomfortable and a little hurt too.

"It's okay if you don't wear it," she blurted and Hoseok's eyes went to hers. "I mean, you can probably get one that costs more and is better quality so you can just—"

"This is irreplaceable," Hoseok cut her off. "I can spend millions of dollars and I still won't be able to get one like this."

~Jiyeon~

"This is irreplaceable," Hoseok interrupted me. "I can spend millions of dollars and I still won't be able to get one like this."

I looked at him, hoping he doesn't hear my heart racing or see the tears that was welling up in my eyes. "Yeah?" I croaked.

Hoseok glanced down at the bracelet on me and I knew he saw that it was a couple bracelet. I watched as he smiled at it before putting his one on. When he was done, he stroked it with his fingertips before looking into my eyes. I saw so much emotions in his eyes that I was speechless.

"Thank you, Jiyeon," he said quietly. "I'll treasure it forever."

I smiled and nodded.

Hoseok reached over and ruffled my hair affectionately, "My wife is so cute."

I blushed at that and muttered, "Whatever."

It wasn't long until we reached the airport. Like he did before, Hoseok put a mask on me and himself before grabbing my hand and pulling me along with him. I curled my hand in his and smiled even though he couldn't see it. One day, when the time is right, I want to tell him that I love him.
