After (Jikook version)

Chapter 78

The next morning, bright and early, I scramble around Jungkook's room, gathering my things to take a shower.

"I'm coming with you," he groans, but I laugh.

"No, you're not. You know it's only six a.m., right? What happened to your seven-thirty rule?" I tease and grab my bag.

"I am going to walk you there." I love his raspy morning voice.

"Walk me where? To the bathroom?" I scoff as he rolls out of bed. "I'm a big boy. I can walk myself down the hall."

"You're doing an amazing job at listening to me so far." He rolls his eyes, but I see the amusement in them.

"Fine, Daddy, walk me to the bathroom," I whine playfully. I have no intention of listening to him, but I decide to humor him for the moment.

Jungkook raises his eyebrow and smirks. "Don't call me that again, or I'll have to take you back to bed." He winks and I hurry out of the room before I am too tempted to stay.

He follows behind me and sits on the toilet while I shower. "You're going to have to take my car," he says, which utterly surprises me. "I'll get a ride to campus to grab yours so I can go over to the apartment."

I didn't think about any of this last night, which further shocks me, since I usually plan everything out so well. "You're going to let me drive your car?" I gape.

"Yeah. However, if you wreck it don't bother coming back," he says.

Part of me knows he is somewhat serious. But I laugh and say, "I should be worried about you wrecking mine!"

He tries to open the curtain, but I pull it closed again and hear him chuckle. "Just think, babe, after today you will be in your own shower every morning." His voice carries over the water as I rinse the shampoo from my hair.

"I don't think it will really hit me until we are actually there."

"Wait until you see it; you will love it," he says.

"Does anyone know that you are getting an apartment?" I ask. I already know the answer.

"No, why would they need to know?"

"They don't, I was just wondering."

The faucet creaks as I shut the water off. Jungkook holds a towel open for me as I step out and wraps it around my soaked body.

"I know you well enough to know that you think I am hiding the fact that we are moving in together from my friends," he says.

He's not wrong. "Well, it does seem a little odd that you're moving out of here but no one knows."

"That isn't because of you-it's because I don't want to hear their shit about dropping out of the fraternity. I will tell them all-even Molly-after we move in." He smiles and wraps his arms around my shoulders.

"I want to be the one to tell Molly." I laugh and hug him back.

"Deal."

After multiple attempts to keep Jungkook's hands off me as I get ready, he hands me the keys to his car and I leave. The moment I get in the car my phone vibrates.

*Be careful. I love you,* the text reads.

*I will. You be careful in my car :) I love you. xo *

*I can't wait to see you again. Meet me at five. Your crap car will be fine. *

*You should watch what you say or I may accidently hit a parking median in yours.* I smile to myself as I send my reply.

*Stop pestering me and go to work before I come down there and peel that shirt off you. *
