After (Jikook version)

Chapter 54

After laying in Jungkook's arms for a few minutes, I begin to think about my agreement to stay with Jungkook tonight. 

"What about my shower in the morning?" I remind him. 

"You can take one here, down the hall." His lips meet my jaw, trailing kisses up and down. His lips on my skin cause my judgment to cloud; he knows exactly what he is doing. 

"In a frat house? Who knows who will come in." 

"One, the door locks, and two, I would accompany you, obviously," he says between kisses. 

I scowl at his tone but decide to ignore it. "Fine. But I'd like to take a shower now, before it gets too late." 

He nods and stands up and reaches for his jeans. I climb off the bed and do the same, leaving my boxers off. 

"No boxers?" He smirks. 

Ignoring him, I roll my eyes and say, "Do you have shampoo? I don't even have a hairbrush." I am starting to get anxious thinking of all the things that I don't have with me. "And Q-tips? Dental floss?" I continue. 

"Relax, we have Q-tips and floss. We probably even have an extra toothbrush, and I know there is a hairbrush or two in there. There are probably even extra panties in every size lying about somewhere, if you want some," he informs me. 

"Panties?" I ask before I realize he means they were left by other girls or boys. "Never mind," I say and he laughs. I hope Jungkook doesn't have some weird collection of underwear from girls he has slept with. 

He leads me to the bathroom. I feel more comfortable in here than I imagined, only because I have been in this bathroom quite a few times. 

Jungkook turns on the water and pulls his shirt over his head. 

"What are you doing?" I ask. 

"Taking a shower?" 

"Oh, I thought I was taking one first." 

"Take one with me," he says casually. 

"Um . . . no! I won't." I laugh. I can't take a shower with him. 

"Why not? I've already seen you, you have seen me. What's the big deal?" he groans. 

"I don't know . . . I just don't want to." I know he has already seen me naked but this just seems so intimate. More intimate even than what we just did. 

"Fine. You go first, then," he says, but his voice has picked up a slight edge. 

I smile sweetly and ignore his sour tone and undress. His eyes scan my body and then look away. My hand reaches behind the curtain to check the temperature of the water and I step in. 

Jungkook stays silent while I wet my hair. Too silent. "Jungkook?" I call. Did he leave the bathroom? 

"Yeah?" 

"I thought maybe you left." 

He pulls back the curtain a little and pops his wavy head in. "Nope, still here." 

"Is something wrong?" I ask him, frowning sympathetically. He shakes his head in response but doesn't say anything. Is he really pouting like a child because I won't take a shower with him? I almost want to tell him to join me, but I want him to get the point that he can't just get his way all the time. His head disappears from the shower and I hear him sit down on the toilet.

The shampoo and body wash are both strong musky scents. I miss my vanilla shampoo, but this is fine for one night. It probably would have made more sense for Jungkook to stay with me in my room, but Hoseok would be in there, and it would be awkward to explain everything, and I don't imagine Jungkook would be as affectionate if he was around. The thought bothers me, but I push it back.
