Chapter 35

Izzy looked at her reflection in mirror, adjusting her outfit for the last time. Maddie had given her very specific advice on what to wear for her date with Jungkook tonight and luckily it wasn't one of her sisters more experimental outfits. A white tshirt was tucked into high waisted light blue jeans, with a red bomber jacket resting on her bed ready to wear. Alongside the jacket was a black  face mask ready for when she left the house, not only to protect against the smog of the city but also for Jungkook's peace of mind.

Ever since she'd known jungkook he'd had an issue with showing his face in public, a paranoia of sorts. Izzy had  found our pretty  early in their relationship that if she showed her face he would have a similar fear and be constantly checking behind him. Because of that it had become a habit to cover her head and face.

Adjusting the necklace that he had given her when she left for England last summer, she looked over herself one last time before deciding she was satisfied. She grabbed her phone, keys and wallets from her desk. Her phone pinged and she checked the notification.

I'm outside

She smiled, as she left her room passing by Solar's bedroom where she saw her and moonbyul packing various belongings into cardboard boxes.

"Solar-unnie, I'm going out now so I'll see you tomorrow" Izzy said.

"Okay, have a nice time. Be safe" Solar replied.

Moonbyul commented "use protection Izzy-ssi!" Which cause both girls to burst into laughter as Izzy rolled her eyes and walk into the hall. She put on her black dm boots and then after doing a final check that she had everything, she headed from apartment 203 to her waiting boyfriend.

She recognised Jungkook as soon as she got onto the street as he was clothed in head to toe black including the bucket hat and face mask he wore. This was usual for Jungkook who seemed allergic to colour all though Izzy had managed to persuade him to buy a few coloured shirts here and there. He had a bag slung over his back which she knew would contain his camera which he had got into a habit of taking everywhere with him. Smiling, she walked over to him as he lowered his mask to greet her. Reaching him, he grabbed Izzy's waist and pulled her in for a gentle kiss.

"Hi" she mumbled as his mouth pulled away from her.

"Hi beautiful" he smiled, brushing a strand of hair out of her face. "I missed you."

"It's been a couple of days tops" Izzy laughed as she put her face mask on and took his outstretched hand. "So where are we heading?"

"It's a surprise" Jungkook replied, and she could see the glint in his eyes beneath the bucket hat.

Jungkook took them along the Han river and the two spent the journey walking in silence, the only occasion being a squeeze of each other's hand. The warm autumn sun was just beginning to set making the walk peaceful through the relative quiet streets, the two just enjoying each other's company. Suddenly Jungkook stopped and gestured that Izzy take of her mask, which she did with slight confusion and an eye roll. He then took out his camera, and turned it on.

"No jungkook, come on it's literally been 10 minutes" Izzy laughed, trying to hide her face with her hands.

"Come on babe, the lighting's so beautiful right here" he asked with a pout, giving her big puppy dog eyes. Cursing herself for her soft spot, she relented and smiled into the camera at the dork beyond the lense. The wind was ruffling her hair slightly and she did enjoy the sun on her face. She heard the shutter click a couple of times until jungkook was satisfied and started putting his camera away. Izzy re-put on her mask and took his rough hand once more as he leant in and whispered a thank you.
