"Are you sure you only want two?" Jungkook asked as we slowly made our way to the guest room I slept in last night. "I have so much more."

"No no it's okay." I reassured, trying not to lean on him so much. "I already have one of your jackets as well, so I don't want to steal so much from you."

"Claudia." Jungkook chuckled. "You aren't stealing from me. Please, if I wasn't giving them, I'd hardly know they were missing."

"Mr. Superstar." I grumbled, my leg shaky slightly as I took another step.

'You're fine, keep going.'

"Stop." Jungkook stood still, me stopping my leg from moving forward. "You're leaning on me more and your foot is shaking."

"Yes and?" I looked down at my leg, seeing it shake. It was painful ow.

"Okay I'm going to carry you know."

"Jung-AH!" I clung to him as he picked me up, our chest against each other and my arms around his neck.

This-

"We'll be there in just a jiffy!" Jungkook took long strides, shocking me at how fast we were moving. Maybe it was because I hadn't walked at a normal pace in a while, or maybe he just has really big strides. "You're so small."

"Wha-"

"We're here!" He opened the door with his foot, waltzing in like he owned the place-oh right he does. "And, we've landed." Jungkook stood up after sitting me on the bed. "Wasn't that fun?"

"It..." I watched Jungkook walk over to the table in the room, carefully folding his sweatshirts into perfect rectangles. "It was fun, thank you."

"Oh don't thank me." Jungkook glanced over at me. "I had fun too."

I looked over at my jeans that were folded on the ground. I didn't have a bag because I came straight here, so only the things that were on my back were here.

While Jungkook was distracted with the uneven curtains, I stood up, grabbing my jeans and digging out the present I had for him.

"H-hey Jungkook." I stood up, wobbling a bit. How I am going to say-

"Woah." Jungkook took a few quick, long strides and held my arms. "Don't rush it, remember?"

"I.. I'm okay." I blinked and looked down. "Uhm, a belated birthday gift, for you." I held up the object in my fingers.

"For me?" Jungkook's eyes were wide, lips slowly forming a pout as he took the present.

"Yes of course." I swallowed nervously, hoping it would fit. "You're,,, you're someone I look up to."

"Thank you so much." Jungkook pulled me into a tight hug, me stumbling forward into him, Jungkook holding me up practically. But I didn't think he noticed. He was like a full grown dog that still thinks he's a puppy, unknown of his strength and size. "I'm so excited to show my hyugs!" He let go of our hug, a huge smile on his face as he held up his finger.

I did that. I made him so happy.

I did it.
