Escape | Jungkook x Reader

Part 2

Jungkook spends just about every weekend at his cabin now. He even goes to his cabin mid-week if he has the time. He finds it easier to think while being surrounded with nature but it isn't just that. Whenever he's up here in the woods, he feels like he has the chance to truly be himself. There's always light conversation between the both of you whenever you see each other while taking a walk or chilling by the lake. He treasures these moments the most. He never has to think twice about what he has to say because you never judged him. He didn't know how but you suddenly became his confidant, the person he would turn to whenever something was bothering him.

That's not to say the both of you would always converse that way. The both of you would bicker like kindergartners from time to time. He's not quite sure how it started but suddenly the two of you were always trying to one-up each other. It ranged from knowing the answers to random facts to the ability of somersaulting into the lake. Sometimes, Jungkook would think that this "competition" was getting out of hand but he couldn't stand losing to you because you'd never shut up about it whenever you won.

He tells himself he only spends so much time at the cabin because it enables him to wind down and do better at work but he knows that isn't the case. He knows he loves coming up to his cabin because he gets to see you chase Buster around for misbehaving or hear you groaning aloud whenever you had to clean up your front lawn or maybe you know just seeing you was enough for him. He was uncomfortable with the warmth he felt growing in his heart whenever he spent time with you but it was starting to become something he could no longer seem to ignore.

You were putting the final touches on a wooden owl figurine that a lady had asked for at the farmer's market last weekend when you hear the shuffling of footsteps.

"Y/N, you know if you don't want Buster anymore, I'll have him." Jungkook says as he cradles Buster in his arms.

"Ugh, did he sneak into your backyard again? I'm so sorry, Jungkook." Buster leaps from Jungkook's arms to find his way next to you.

"You know you should really pay more attention to him, you horrible owner," He says as he browses around your living room, looking at all your finished woodcarving pieces. "Wow, Y/N this is amazing!" Jungkook exclaims as he picks up a medium-sized figurine of a Roman God.

"Thank you," You reply shyly. "Also, I give Buster plenty of attention okay but a girl's gotta make some money you know? You understand that, don't you buddy?" You say while looking at Buster. He immediately leaps up onto your lap and curls up towards you. You think about how Buster won't be able to do this by the time next year comes around because he's growing way too fast for your liking.

Jungkook continues to lounge around, his finger occasionally grazing the pieces that were on display. He seemed to be deep in thought when suddenly he speaks up.

"Do you think you could make a dove for me?"

"Sure, a medium-sized one? It'll cost about—"

"Hold up. I am your favourite neighbour," He smirks. "Surely you could give it to me for free."

"You are my only neighbour."

"Exactly, therefore I am your favourite neighbour."

"That's some horribly flawed logic," You scoff. "Sure, I'll give it to you for free if you hand over one of those million-dollar apps that you own for free."

"That's hardly a fair trade."

"But, I'm your favourite neighbour."

"Touché. Do I at least get a neighbour discount?"

"No."

"Wow, you drive a hard bargain but a wooden dove at full price, I'll take it."

You both stare at each other before breaking out into a massive fit of laughter. Honestly, you don't know how the both of you ever became friends because he simply drives you crazy.
