14 - Lessons in Love

Jungkook walked to the counter dejectedly. Namjoon had just stormed off to his shop without giving him the time of day. Contrary to what Namjoon or anyone else thought about him, Jungkook really liked Namjoon. Maybe he came off as too aggressive, but that was the only way he knew how to be. Jungkook was accustomed to getting what he wanted and he really wanted Namjoon. But he wanted more than his body, which was damn sexy. He wanted a chance to get to know him and also for Namjoon to see him as more than just an idol.

Jin noticed that Jungkook was sad and his eyes were downcast. He sighed heavily, already knowing the cause of his trepidation to being none other than his best friend, Namjoon.

"Jungkook, are you okay?"

He turned to look at Jin sadly. "Hyung, I'm okay I guess. I just feel like giving up now. I don't think he likes me. Maybe I shouldn't have been so forward. I don't know."

"I see. So you're giving up then?"

"What's the point hyung. He's hiding from me right now. And I don't think it's nice to do that to him. He should be free. Free like a beautiful dove. And pure like it's whiteness. I will just taint him. I'm not worthy hyung." Jungkook places his head in his hands and sighs softly.

Seokjin suddenly feels really bad for Jungkook. He didn't think that he liked Namjoon this much. He decided to help him.

"What if I can get him alone with you?"

Jungkook perks up at that. A soft smile spreads across his face. "Hyung. Please don't think that I only want to sleep with him. I'd be honoured to have even a date with him." He looks away shyly.

"I can see that you like him sincerely Kook. Listen, I have a flat upstairs where you can sit and talk to him alone. Maybe he's just afraid or apprehensive and doesn't know how to react to you. Maybe, getting him alone can help to iron things out for the two of you. Here's my key. Go up and I'll send him there on some pretext. He has his own key."

"Are you sure hyung?" Jungkook says, taking the key.

"I'm sure. I know my friend well. He's just afraid. But if you talk to him normally and don't throw yourself at him, he'll get over his shyness."

"Okay hyung. I won't scare him off. Thank you hyung." And he hugged Jin slowly.

Jungkook left and Taehyung came over to Jin, watching him curiously.

"Are you playing matchmaker then? I thought you didn't approve of Kookie for Namjoon."

I stuck my tongue out at him. "It's not that I didn't approve of him. Namjoon is very sensitive and innocent. He's just a big baby. Anyway, now I need your help to come up with an excuse to send him up to the flat."

"Hmmmm...let's see. Let me tell him that you're calling him up to the flat as you can't find something and I helped you look but I'm useless since I don't know where you keep things."

"Sounds plausible enough. He might fall for it. Who am I kidding? It's brilliant! He'll definitely believe that. Let me go hide in the kitchen so he doesn't catch on to us."

Seokjin pecks his boyfriend's lips and runs off to the kitchen. Taehyung sighs heavily and makes his way to Namjoon.

Namjoon's POV

I don't know what Jin has misplaced this time but I rushed up to his flat to help him after Taehyung assured me that he would manage the shop. I entered the flat and called out to him. Strange. I thought he was up here. Suddenly the door closed behind me and I jumped in shock. Jungkook stood behind me, looking down sheepishly. I moved away from him, further into the room.

"I swear if you touch me, I'll scream bloody murder," I warned him.

"I just want to talk Namjoonie. I promise I won't touch you or hurt you in any way. Will you give me a chance to talk to you please?"

He looked so sad and downcast. But, was he trying to trick me? I didn't trust him.

"I know karatè and taekwondo. So.... so ..... consider yourself..... warned." Who was I kidding? I was scared stiff. I knew none of those things. He just nodded his head sadly and went to sit on the couch. After a few minutes I followed him there and sat far away from him, watching him furtively.

"I'm sorry Namjoonie. I was wrong to just throw myself at you all the time. I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable. I realised that, although I'm always accustomed to getting what I want, I can't always expect that from everyone, especially someone as special as you. I don't know what it is about you, but ever since I saw you, I can't stop thinking about you and I just act all stupid around you, instead of being nice and normal. I know I'm scaring you away from me and it's my own stupidity. So if you don't like me, I'll understand and I won't bother you again."

He looked away even sadder than he was at the beginning of his speech. I was in a state of complete shock.

"So, I guess I'll leave now since I can see from your silence that you don't like me. I'm ............"

I crashed my lips against his so fast that I hit his face full on instead and he fell back against the couch, holding his mouth and nose in pain.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry Kookie. I'm such an idiot! I break everything and now I broke your face." I looked away, almost on the verge of tears until I felt a pair of soft hands on my cheeks and Jungkook looking at me like I was a porcelain doll he needed to handle carefully in case he broke it.

"I'm fine baby. I promise. See? Not hurt. Didn't break." He smiles at me softly. "Do you think we could try that again, but a little slower this time?"

I nodded my head shyly. He leaned in slowly and connected our lips ever so softly. It was sweet and chaste and suddenly I realised, I didn't want it to be chaste anymore. I pressed my lips against his harder and he moaned softly. I could tell that he was holding himself back so I recalled what they did in the movies and placed my hands at the back of his head, pulling him closer to me.

He responded by placing his hands on my hips and moving his mouth against my lips and sucking gently on them until I opened my mouth and let him dive in with his tongue. It was full on sexy and needy and everything that I had hoped my first kiss would be like. I was breathless by the time he moved away, placing tiny kisses to my lips.

"Thank you Joonie," he said, trying to regulate his breathing. "That was amazing."

I hid my head in the folds of his chest. "Thank you Kookie. That....that was my first kiss." And I buried myself deeper into his chest. I heard him hiss.

"Oh my God! You are so precious. You gave me your first kiss? I'm honoured. Wait! Does that mean what I think it means? You're a virgin?"

I hid my face in my hands and he pulled me close to him. I felt his strong arms around me and the curve of his chest muscles. He stroked my hair softly.

"You are too amazing and precious for this world Namjoonie. Will you.... Will you please be my boyfriend?"

"You....you .... want to be my boyfriend?"

He nodded his head and smiled at me. His cute bunny smile on full display.

"I want to be your boyfriend too."

He kissed me softly then and I sighed at this new feeling. My first kiss. My first boyfriend. Jeon Jungkook.
