Meant To Be - Jungkook

Chapter 9

Paige POV: 

I am sitting outside on the balcony when I hear the door open.  "Paige?" JK calls out.  "Are you here?"

"I am out on the balcony," I call out to him.  

"Hey," he says as he walks outside.  "How was your day?" He leans over and gives me a quick kiss on the lips.  "Today was good,"  I tell him.  "I missed you though."

"Me too,"  he says as he sits down next to me.  "Are you hungry?"

"I could eat,"  I say.  "What did you have in mind?  Are we ordering in?"

"Yes,"  he says.  "I want some alone time with you.  Let's see if there any take out menus in the room."

We both get up and go back into a room.  I look around and find a binder with a list of restaurants near us that deliver.  

"What do you feel like eating?"  I ask.  "There are a lot of places on this list.  Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Thai?"

"Thai food sounds good,"  he says.  

"A man after my own heart,"  I say.  "Thai is my favorite food but I may be a little biased."

"Why is that?"  he asks.

"I guess I never mentioned it," I tell him.   "I am half Thai.  My mom is from Thailand and my dad is American."

"That's interesting,"  he says.  "I knew you were mixed with something but I couldn't tell because you really don't have Asian features."

"Yeah,"  I say.  "I think I take after my dad's side a little more."

"Now I know a little bit more about you,"  he says.  "Any brothers or sisters?"

"There are five of us," I tell him.  "I have two sisters and two brothers.  I am the second oldest."  

"Wow,"  he says.  "That's a big family.  It's only my brother and me."

"You may not have a lot of siblings but you still have a big family," I say.  "RM, Jin, Suga, J-hope, Jimin, and V are your family too."

"You are right,"  he says.  "They are definitely family.  I don't know what I would do without them."

"They are a great bunch of guys," I say.  "You are very lucky to have such amazing hyungs."

"I know," he says.  "So what should we order? I will let you take the lead.  You have more experience than I do with Thai food."

"It would be my pleasure," I say.  "I hope you can handle spicy food because that's the way I like it."

"I will do my best,"  he says. 

I pick out a few of my favorite dishes and JK calls in the order.  He sits on the bed and beckons me over.  "Come sit with me,"  he says.  "Let me cuddle with you until the food arrives."  

"I can't pass up that offer now, can I?"  I say.  I climb on the bed and snuggle up to him.  As usual, it feels great to be in his arms.  I feel so comfortable with him.  It always feels right.  

"Is there anything else you want to know about me?"  I ask.  

"Not at the moment," he says.  "I am sure I will think of things as we go along."

"Well, I am an open book.  So feel free to ask anything.  I have nothing to hide."  I say.

"Same goes for you," he says.  "What you see in the media isn't always the correct information, so ask me if you are curious."  

"Thank you,"  I say.  "I feel like we will get to know more about each other in the next few weeks."

The food arrives and I watch as JK eats.  He starts to sweat a little bit because I had him order it a little spicy.  I did take some pity on him though.  I can't have him having an upset stomach.  Dinner was delicious but its time to wind down...
