BARE SOULS

WE ARE FINE! OR ARE WE?

Jk's POV: When will she tell me?
Jk: A-alone?
Yn: No. Lia's coming with me.
Jk: So you booked a couple package for you and Lia? *shows her phone screen*
Yn: Yeah what's wrong? It's cheaper. And I have always turned her down. I need a change in my environment so... *shrugs* She is a nice girl.
Jk: *filled with jealousy* Great! *sits on the couch crossing his hands in front of his chest*
Yn: *doesn't see it and goes to get dressed up*
Jk's POV: I'm going to sit here, like this until she notices me. *scoffs* Aani, seriously what's wrong with me?
*Yn comes out wearing a nice flowy dress paired with heels with a purse slinging over her shoulder. She comes out fixing her ear rings*
Yn: UGGHH! Why wouldn't they fit?
Jk: *shook* *stares at her*
Yn: *looks at him* Why are you sitting like that?
Jk: I don't know if you can't see or you act like it. I'm JEALOUS! At least cut me some slack, it's only been a few hours since I handled my jealousy in front of THAT idiot and now you're going out with Lia? Dressed up like that? *pauses* I get it, you need a change of environment. Go ahead, I just wanted to tell it out. I'm done. *swings his words* I won't mind at ALL. Have a nice couple session with a girl that has a crush on you leaving your boyfriend behind.
Yn: *chuckles* Are you done?
Jk: *sulks* As if it matters.
Yn: It does Ko- OUCH! This is why I should wear ear rings often. Now it won't fit.
Jk's POV: That darn earring she was about to say Kook.
Jk: *walks to her* Let me do that.
*They sit on the couch while he helps her with her ear ring issues and looks down at her bare shoulders, her hair falling perfectly onto them exposing her neck and then down to her legs where her dress ended. *gulps controlling himself*
Jk: Done! *tugs a strand of her hair behind her ear,  which makes her look at him in the eye*
Yn: *smiles warmly* Thank you. *observes his expression and holds back her laughter knowing what he's thinking* What?
Jk: *nods looking down smiling to himself* Nothing. *looks at her again and finally moves closer being intimate, places a hand on her cheek* You're so beautiful.
Yn: *blushes a little* I know. *smirks making him chuckle*
Jk: I don't think so. You clearly don't know what you are doing to me. *pulls his hand back*
Yn's POV: I knew it but why does it feel different when he just surrenders it. I should get out of here.
*But she looks at him and does something that she didn't expect that she would do. She leans in places a kiss on his lips. Jungkook wastes no time and leans over her, until she rests her head on the arm rest of the couch, placing one hand on her waist and the other on her neck while she wraps her hands around his neck. It kiss starts getting deeper and deeper, the comfort she's been longing for and his warmth around her. After breaking the kiss He snuggles onto her neck, throwing his weight over her.*
Jk: *mumbles* Do you really have to go?
Yn: Hmmm.
Jk: Just stay like this for a while Yn. Please.
Yn: Jungkook, I-I can't. *voice breaks*
Jk: *panics and gets up* W-why are you crying?
Yn: I don't know Jungkook. I have no clue. It's frustrating to me as well. One moment I want you, I want you so bad and the next moment I just can't help but feel bad. M-maybe I shouldn't rush things, it's only going to hurt us. We were fine till now and now-
Jk: *cresses her hand* It's okay Yn. I'm sorry. Don't feel guilty. I deserve each and everything, it was me who put you through this after all. Do you mind if I hug you before letting you go?
Yn: *nods and hugs him* I'm trying Jungkook. I really am.
Jk: It's okay. Don't force yourself. *tears up* Just so you know, you can always choose to end this if you don't- you know-
Yn: *looks up at him* Yaah- how many times should I tell you that-
Jk: Ssshhh! Whatever your decision is Yn, I'll respect that.
Yn: Jungkook I don't want to leave you and I told it you already.
Jk: I'm just making myself clear honey. *smiles weakly, tears threatening to fall down*
Yn: *furrowing her brows* Jun-
Jk: Now go fix your lipstick. You don't want your date to know that you have been making out right?
Yn: *chuckles* It's just a friendly outing FYI. I would rather dress up sexy for a date. *gets up and winks leaving to the door*
Jk: YAAAH!
Yn: *smiles* See you later. *closes the door and leaves*
*She comes back later at night and is greeted by a cheerful Aria running to her.*
Yn: Woah woah. Looks like somebody missed me huh?
A: *giggles* OOHHH! CHICCKKKEENNN! *looks at the takeaway in her hand*
Jk: What!? Where!? *comes out of Aria's room*
Yn: *rolls eyes* Don't act like you guys are living in drought. It looks like I don't let you eat.
A: *gets down and runs to the kitchen and runs back pulling out her plate*
Yn: Oh my god, calm down Ari. It's not going to run away. *chuckles* Let me heat it up. *walks to the counter*
Jk: *looks nervously at her hoping that she doesn't notice anything and she does*
Yn: Why is the basket empty?
Jk: *looks around* Basket? What basket?
Yn: This one. *lifts that basket up, its not huge and not too tiny*
A: Kookie eat it.
Jk: Yaah! *whispers and yells* *glares at Aria*
Yn: *looks at Jungkook* You what?
Jk: N-no.
Yn: Are you crazy? Why did you do that? You'll get sick and that's a lot.
Jk: Okay firstly that's not a lot for me. Secondly it's just some chocolates and cookies so I won't get sick and thirdly HE brought them.
Yn: *facepalming* It's just food. How can you be jealous over food? *sulks* I was waiting to eat that chocolate though.
Jk: *triggered* SEE? It's all his tactics. You think about the chocolate and then you think about him. That's why I ate them all. *talks in pout as if he's rapping*
Yn: *raising her brows* Wow! I never knew I was dating Sherlock Holmes!! *sarcastically*
Jk: *sulks and leaves grabbing his car keys*
Yn: Where are you goi- *door shuts*
A: *looks at them confused* Mommy you angwey?
Yn: *chuckles* No baby.
A: Kookie angwey?
Yn: No baby. He's just throwing tantrums just like you do.
A: *pouts* Nooo. I'm a good gurl.
Yn: *laughs* Okay good girl. Do you want to eat chicken now or wait for Kookie?
A: *thinks* Can I hab one now? *shows her tiny index finger* We eat with Kookie after that.
Yn: *laughs* I see you have your priorities sorted huh? *puts the chicken on the coffee table* Just a minute okay? *goes out and looks down the streets and notices Jungkook at the end of the street* Where's he going?
*After 10 min Jungkook returns back and looks at Yn and Aria that are sitting on the floor watching TV and eating fried chicken*
Jk: Waah! The betrayal.
Yn: What? We were hungry and Aria even waited for 5 min.
Jk: Yeah right. *rolls eyes*
Yn: Where did you go?
Jk: *pulls out a box of chocolates from behind his back and places it in front of Yn* To the store.
Yn: *shook* What?
Jk: You said you waited to eat them right. Here! And remember that 'I' bought them.
Yn: *sighs* I really can't guess what goes on in your mind sometimes. *smiles* Thank you. And your box is in the oven and there's beer in the fridge.
Jk: *excited* Really? *goes to get his food*
Yn: *chuckles*
*A week passed by. Yn still doesn't text or talk much with Jungkook and just stays in her zone. He usually goes back to her every night and they might eat dinner together and she's still sleeping with Aria. He's not hurt but he's patiently waiting for his phase to pass. They are going to film something similar to Bon Voyage and so Jungkook will be away for a week or so. He's currently in the studio where they are being updated about their schedules. It's about to end.*
M: And lastly you have a meeting with Ynssi after you get back.
RM: *confused* We can meet her casually, why is it included in the schedule?
M: I don't know. BangPDnim told that. And that's it for today. *leaves*
Hobi: How are things with her? It's been a week and we haven't seen or heard from her.
Jk: I'm just giving her space hyung. She's not pushing me away and I'm glad for that. It's not like before but yeah, we are working on it. I hope this phase will end soon.
Suga: I guess it comes back to normal once everything's revealed. Maybe we can apologise after that meeting?
Jimin: Yeah. Let us all go out for a dinner. It's been a while and I didn't even get to see Aria.
Jk: I can understand hyung. Not Aria but, I see Yn everyday and I still miss her. Her calls, her msgs all of those. There has not been a single call from her side all this time. Well, she made it clear not to expect anything from her for a while.
Jin: Then shouldn't you also stop pestering her them?
Jk:'No she said she's fine with me being around her. Actually she wants me around but not too much. Do you get it?
RM:'I get it. It's like you are mad at someone but at the same time they are the only one that can provide you comfort.
Jk: *nods*
Hobi: What has she been doing? I see that PDnim gave her a leave for 2 weeks again.
Jk: That's a very interesting question hyung. She's doing a lot of things. It started with her going our with Lia to the spa. The next day I found around 10-15 shopping bags in the living room when I got back home. She said she went for shopping. The other day I saw that she got a hair cut and coloured her hair.
V: Really? What colour?
Jk: You know that chestnut brown? A lighter shade.
V: WOW!
Jk: Yeah and the next day, I saw her playing tag with Aria in our lawn, early in the morning. They just laid down there giggling and watching the clouds. Till afternoon. And then she baked two cakes and lots and lots of cookies. The next day she cleaned the whole house, not leaving an inch and bought some furniture and some items for interiors.
Hobi: Looks like she's just enjoying her time being carefree.
Jk: *smiles* Yes. And I'm glad. Although I join in few of those tasks, I keep myself away a fair amount of time. Not to spoil her mood. And hyung I have a fun fact.
RM: What is it?
Jk: Yn spent 150million won last week.
V: *coughs on his water* W-what?
Jk: *smiles* Yes.
V: Our Yn?
Jk: Choegyo! What do you mean by our Yn?
V: Aani Jinja? How do you know?
Jk: I receive the msgs too remember?
Jimin: Aani, how did you find out about the BTJC transactions?
Jk: Aah, she asked me to pay her rent since her card was with me. I had to access the passbook since she is not a citizen here. And that's when I saw.
RM: Ooooh! Bad timing maybe.
Jk: *nods*
Jin: So she didn't even tell you till now? What's that for?
Jk: Nope.
Suga: We have to wait till the meeting then.
Jk: *nods* Alright I'll leave now. I'll come to the dorm tomorrow and pack my stuff.
RM: Yes. Let's leave now.
*They all split apart for the evening.*

*Jungkook reaches back home and as he enters he hears music playing, slow, pleasant and Yn humming to it while doing the dishes. She looks at him and smiles. It all seemed so dreamy to him, the lighting the fresh smell of home and Yn standing in his sight with her messy bun and her cute night frock coming until her knees. He felt all the tiredness sweep away in an instant and he smiles back at her placing his bag away on the door side table, making his way towards the kitchen following the delicious aroma of food.*
Jk: *sniffs and checks the pot* What's cooking?
Yn: *giggles* Guess?
*He just pauses looking at her, the way she giggles with pure happiness in her eyes. He survived a whole week without her kisses or even hugs even though he came back to her everyday. He feels contended just by looking at her being genuinely peaceful and happy.*
Jk: *speaks calmly in his honey voice* I don't know. I can't see it. *it's in the oven*
Yn: *giggles again* Chicken lasaagnya with extra cheese.
Jk: WOW. I can't wait. Is there anything special?
Yn: No. It's just I am able to cook now. It almost healed. *shows her palm with the washing gloves still on*
Jk: Yn, let me do the remaining. *tries to push her away*
Yn: It's fine Jungkook. I'm almost done.
Jk: No, they are a lot and dishes is my job so leave them now.
Yn: Fine! I'll go get the groceries then.
Jk: No! Okay fine. I'll get them. As you are done with the dishes anyway. *checks the list* Where's Aria?
Yn: Oh she went down to Dara's. They are making cupcakes.
Jk: Okay. I'll take her along with me.
Yn: Okay.
*And so Jungkook goes to his bedroom to collect something and then picks Aria and they walk down the street hand in hand to the store, discussing seriously about Ironman. They are almost done with the grocery shopping and since Yn was about to do it she just wrote each and everything that came onto her mind. And that included her pads. Jungkook is currently standing in the aisle looking at all the options in front of him, with Aria sitting in the trolley and playing with random things in the basket. He looks at one other man that's in the aisle along with him looking all confused. Jungkook smirks to himself*
Jk: *mumbles* Take notes. *pulls out a pack's cover that he collected from Yn's bedroom, before leaving for the grocery shop and picks up at the exact same one feeling proud of himself*
*They come back and Jungkook helps her put the groceries into their respective places. And help her with a few other side dishes. They are setting up the table now*
Jk: Yn?
Yn: *hums* Hmmm?
Jk: We're going to a shoot day after tomorrow. I'll be away for a week or two.
Yn: *looks at him, calm* O-oh. Did they tell you in the last minute?
Jk: Yeah. We were being recorded and were being given a limited amount of time. Part of the reality show.
Yn: O-okay. Well good that I cooked something before you leave then. *smiles*
Jk: *smiles back at her*
Yn: Go take a shower. We'll eat together.
Jk: *nods*
*They have their dinner together. And Yn puts Aria to sleep while Jungkook collected a few things that he needs from Yn's place. Yn comes out of Aria's room closing the door slowly.*
Jk: She slept already?
Yn: Yes. She's tired I guess. *looks at his bag* Did you take everything you need from here?
Jk: *nods* Yes.
Yn: *purses her lips and stays silent not knowing what to say*
Jk: Yn?
Yn: Hmmm? *looks at him*
Jk: Do you want to have some wine?
Yn: Now?
Jk: *nods* It's okay if you don't want to.
Yn: No not that. Don't you have to leave early tomorrow?
Jk: No. I'll leave in the evening .
Yn: Okay then. *smiles again*
*They settle down on the couch as music played, slowly in the background that same old melodies*
Jk: *looks back* I didn't see that you bought a VCR player.
Yn: *smiles sipping onto her wine* I never knew they were so good.
Jk: I agree. It just sets the mood up. It's so calm.
Yn: Yeah. So where are you going?
Jk: We? Australia.
Yn: *nods, sipping onto her wine* *leans back on the couch easing herself, placing her feet on the coffee table*
Jk: *he's sitting on the couch that's perpendicular to hers* *looks at her relaxing throwing her head back onto the sofa*  Are you tired?
Yn: *talks looking at the ceiling* No. I'm good. Are you?
Jk: *nods* *gets up and takes the empty glass from her hands* *puts it away in the sink, settles down beside her and looks at her side profile* POV: I miss you Yn. I need to control myself*
Yn: What?
Jk: Do you mind if I go to bed?
Yn: *looks at his face that's thrown back just like hers* No. Go ahead. I'll go to bed too. *both of them get up and yes Yn is still sleeping in Aria's room. Jungkook lays down on the bed and looks at the ceiling thinking. He wasn't sleepy, he just didn't want to miss her again. He's carving for her hugs at the least. Thinking about various things he gradually goes to sleep. After an hour or so he feels somebody tugging the sleeve of his t-shirt. He wouldn't even bother to open his eyes if he was in the dorm. But now he's half awake with utmost difficulty and tries to grasp in what he's looking at. He sits up in the middle of the bed, with his extremely sleepy face, eyes half open and talks in his sleepy voice*
Jk: Yn? You didn't sleep yet?
Yn: *nods a no*
Jk: What happened?
Yn: *calm* Nothing.
Jk: Is everything alright?
Yn: *nods a yes* *looks at him, shy* C-can we cuddle?
