"So, please tell me what happened. I feel like I missed something, something important,” he confessed.
“Well, you went out and got drunk,” she started.
“I remember that much,” he said, making a face at her.
“How drunk? Really drunk? Like, did I sing to you drunk?” he asked.
“Yes, yes you did. You have a lovely voice,” she answered. He smirked at her, his tongue poking the side of his cheek.
“Really? Did you like it?” he asked.
“Oh yes!! Much more than Roi did I think,” she said.
She watched as his eyebrows drew together and he tilted his head in confusion.
“Roi?? Roi Bang?? My driver?” he asked, trying to make sense of it.
“Yes, you came in the door singing a love song to him,” she explained, laughter bubbling as she remembered.
He shook his head and frowned. “No wonder he's been mad at me,” he said, trying to remember coming home.
“No,” she said, watching his face closely,” he's probably mad at you because you thought he was trying to seduce you!”
The shock on his face, the pout of his lips and the way his eyes widened made her laugh out loud.
“WHAT??” he said.
“He helped you in and then helped you to bed. You told him he was nice, that you really liked him but….and then apologized for the misunderstanding…..” she explained.
“No no no no no…” he said the entire time. “I am an idiot!”
“He did call you an idiot that night, but I thought you were really kind,” she said, in her best “encouraging” voice.
“Holy hell!! I owe him an apology….and a raise" he muttered.
“He also mentioned a bonus that night,” she added helpfully.
“What an idiot,” he whispered to himself.
To her he said, “and then I passed out, right?”
He groaned when she shook her head.
“No, you were actually very sweet,” she assured him. “You were very proud of a plan you had made.”
At the look on his face she reassured him.
“You did not share any details, you just kept telling me to “shush", that it was a secret.”
“Then you told me you wished you could kiss me,” she paused and he grew serious.
That had been the truth spilling out of him.
He nodded for her to continue.
“And then you told me that you liked to kiss me,” she said, a blush spreading over her face.
“I take it back!! I like drunk me! He's smart …. and tells the truth,” he said.
“And then you said you liked it better when I kissed you,” she added.
“See, drunk me is a freaking genius!! Also, true!!” he said.
He had reached for her hand earlier and had been holding it, but now he felt her begin to twist and pull his fingers.
There was a shift to the tone of the conversation and he was in tune to it.
“Then,” she took a deep breath,” then you asked me to please not be mad at you anymore.”
She looked at him, her eyes misting with the memory.
He leaned in and kissed her slowly, gently, pulling her close to him.
He settled back in the pillows, pulling her to lay across his chest.
“And looking at you, and hearing how…. real and vulnerable you were willing to be in that moment, for the life of me I could not find a reason to stay mad,” she confessed, a bit of wonder remaining in her tone.
He kissed her long and hard, thanking her with his body for listening to his heart, even if he was drunk.
“And then, everything was ok. We got you undressed and you passed out, “she finished, watching his face for any reaction.
She saw relief and happiness and a bit of wistfulness.
Did he regret what he said? She had to admit that would hurt.
“Lyra, during this…did I….did I tell you that I loved you?” he asked, his face serious.
“No,” she said, trying to determine why he asked that.
She could not think fast enough to prepare herself for his answer.
“Good, “ he said quietly, staring at their hands tightly clasped together.
She was not ready for how badly that cut her.
She looked away, feeling the big fat teardrops already starting down her face.
Really, what had she been expecting?
She moved slightly away from him, but he lifted her chin with his finger, drawing her gaze to him.
“Good,” he repeated,” because I want to be stone cold sober the first time I say it.”
She was surprised at that, and he followed it quickly with a kiss, leaving her scrambling to catch up.
“Lyra,” he said softly, catching a tear as it fell from her lashes and wiping it away, “I love you.”
She drew in big gulping breaths, wondering if this was one of her daydreams.
But his arms were real and his hands cupping her face were warm and his mouth brushing hers was heaven.
“I love you,” he repeated, kissing her again and again.
“Jungkook,” she whispered, her voice thick with tears, “ I love you too.”
She lay in the shelter of his arms and gave a prayer of thanksgiving for this man and the love he was offering her.
She could never have dreamed of this night.
As the night edged toward the new day, he got up one more time and double checked the security system and the door lock, turned off all the lights and crawled into bed.
He gathered her in his arms and tangled his legs with hers.
He whispered in her ear until she could no longer keep her eyes open and his words slurred, then finally trailed off.
They drifted in peaceful sleep, bodies sore and satisfied, secrets shared.
