Childish | Jungkook

Chapter 20

Hoseok then spun the bottle and it landed on me.

"Ooh," he drawled, wriggling his eyebrows at me and smiled as if he finally got what he wanted. "Truth or dare, Nain."

I gulped. Dare was going so far and I was afraid of doing something I didn't want... "Truth..."

"How far have you gone with Jaebum?"

I sucked in a breath, gawking at him. Why did he have to touch a sensitive subject...

I noticed Jungkook tensing before me and his gaze fell to the floor.

Sighing, I muttered, "Not far. Only kissed."

Hoseok nodded in approval while Jungkook looked up at me with wide eyes.

"Really?" Yoongi asked, but I could make out a hint of relief in his tone.

"Yeah."

I felt uncomfortable in the weird silence so I grabbed the bottle, quickly spinning it and it was Yoongi's turn.

"Okay, listen boy, truth or dare?"

He scanned the room while thinking and answered, "Truth."

"Argh, you should choose dare," I groaned. "You're no fun with truth."

He chuckled playfully, wearing a smug expression that piqued me so bad.

"What's the first thing you would do if one day, you woke up as a girl?"

Hoseok cackled beside me, falling backwards from the force.

Yoongi stayed silent for a minute before saying, "Check myself in the mirror."

"Ah, I knew he was going to say something like that," Jisoo murmured. "So boring."

"Excuse you," the mint man said, spinning the bottle and it landed on Jungkook.

Unknowingly, my heart skipped a beat. Why did it have to be Yoongi who asked him?

The man threw the nervous boy a devious smirk and I was the one tensing up.

"Truth or dare?"

"Dare," he answered almost immediately and I gasped internally. Why did you-

"I dare you to kiss someone in this room," Yoongi blurted.

Wha-

Everyone cheered while Jungkook looked so shaken. He pursed his lips, looking down for a while and then his eyes suddenly landed on me, making my breath hitch.

He seemed to be having an internal battle with himself as he glanced at the other girls, and somehow, the thought of him kissing one of them pained me.

I didn't know what to do or think...

He hesitantly came up to me and gulped, carefully looking into my eyes.

"You know... I... I-It's... I'm not..."

I couldn't do it... but seeing his state, I just couldn't bring myself to turn away from him.

After all, it was just a harmless dare.

Only a game.

That's why I uttered, "Just shut up and kiss me, Jungkook."

I knew it was wrong for me to be doing this when my heart was not in the right place. It was unfair to Jaebum. I couldn't devote myself to him.

I knew it was wrong.

And yet...

When his hands came up to hold my jaw as he leaned in, my heart was fluttering like it never had, I was struggling to breathe like I never had, and my lips were longing for his like they never had before.

I was helplessly caught in a trance.

His soft, velvety lips gently pressed on mine and I shuddered, my breath halting altogether. My mind turned completely blank when I felt him kiss me firmer.

My eyes slowly closed as I melted into him. I couldn't deny the warm feeling surging through my veins, the guilty pleasure consuming me. There was no one else but me and him in our own little world.

But my heart couldn't accept it fully.

Conflicted about the situation, I slowly pulled back from the kiss before standing up and leaving the room, exclaiming, "Bathroom."

My face was heating up from embarrassment and realization that I had done something like that, not to mention in front of the others.

I must have lost my mind...

"Nain!"

Jungkook's voice made me flinch and I practically started running to the bathroom.

"Nain, please."

He caught up with me in no second, grabbing my arm before pulling me to himself, making me bump into his firm chest. I hated how his simple touch was enough to ignite my heart.

"Stop it, please," I whimpered, placing my hands against him to push him away, but he was stronger.

"Nain, I'm sorry," he whispered.

No... not this please...

"I'm so sorry for kissing you."

Stop it...

"I was so stupid for doing that."

...So you regret that...?

"If I could-"

"I don't want to hear it!" I yelled at him.

My sudden outburst took him off guard, his arms loosening around my wrists, and I took the chance to slip out of his hold, rushing to the bathroom. I was afraid that he did not have feelings for me and from his words, he was about to say that. Perhaps he got tired of me during our distance and was over me already now. I couldn't handle his rejection. I wanted to be in the dark instead.

Don't come near me, Jungkook...
