|76| - I LOVE THEM

The same night...

"Stay safe you two. Also, have you heard from Jeongguk? He hasn't come home yet," Yoongi's voice sounds from the phone.

"No, he never tells me where he's going, remember?" Ellie tries to sound as convincing as possible but Jeongguk smirking at her with folded arms from the door isn't helping in the slightest.

"Right, I hope he reaches out to me. I know he can take care of himself, but still..." he says with worry evident in his voice and Ellie makes a note for herself to make Jeongguk call him at any chance.

"I will be going, good night Yoongi," she rushes the call.

"Sleep well, kid."

"You are a terrible liar," Jeongguk's voice sounds from the door right after she ends the call, seeing him against the door frame with arma folded on his chest.

"I never lie to him," Ellie confesses as he takes a step to her.

"You told him you were staying at Nancy's place?"

She nods, ashamedly looking down at the sheets on the bed beneath her.

"You didn't have to."

"What should I have said? That I am at one of his gang fellas' apartment?" she watches him and her voice softens a bit as he lays down next to her and caresses her leg with his tattooed hand.

"I didn't know you wanted to keep me your little secret," he smiles mischievously.

"I don't really know what to do to be honest."

Caressing her thigh, he makes Ellie look down at him and whispers.
"We'll figure this out together, don't worry."

She gives him a pout but Jeongguk's already pulling her up with him and dragging her into the kitchen.

"Hungry?" he asks, opening one shelf after another to see what's there to eat.

"Yeah."

"Okay, I will head to a shop. I will turn the heating on for you."

"I'll go with you," she says, quickly jumping off the counter.

"You want to go?" he turns to her with a surprised look on his face.

"Of course I do, why are you so surprised?"

"Nothing, I was just used to you trying to be as far from me as possible."

"We already talked about this," rolling her eyes, she punches his biceps and he fakes a wince.

"You are so dramatic, Jeon."

"And you're half naked. Let's find some pants for you," Jeongguk orders, walking back to his room and looking around his closet for some slim sweatpants which would actually fit his girl.

"You know I can just wear my own jeans," she brings up, pulling Jeongguk's pants up her legs.

"Too late for that, we're just leaving."

Following Jeongguk outside the apartment, she smiles to herself at how he probably couldn't even make the fact that he loves her wearing his clothes even more obvious.

________

The ride with Jeongguk was quiet, but surprisingly comfortable. On the way back, none of them talked much, only he asked if the temperature in the car was okay and smiled when Ellie nodded.

She spent most of the time looking out the window, only daring to steal a few gazes at Jeongguk until he noticed and with a smile, his hand let go of the wheel and rested on her thigh. That was the end of the calm ride with Jeon.
