When I opened the door for Jungkook, I was giddy like a school girl on the inside but trying my hardest to play it cool on the outside. I wanted to leap into his arms and kiss him all over. It's crazy how much I missed his presence when I'd just seen him less than 24 hours ago... not to mention, we'd apparently spent the entire night together.

"Hi."

"Hey." Jungkook flashed his signature smile, playing it cool himself and looking yummy enough to devour right there on my doorstep as he leaned against the door post with a box of pizza in one hand and a few grocery store bags in the other. "I hope you're cool with pizza."

The mere sight of him at my door made my stomach dip. You know that feeling you get when you're on a roller coaster? Except this dip continued down into my nether regions.

"Pizza sounds delish. Come on in." I gestured him inside. "What's in the bags?" I asked as I turned and led him into the kitchen.

"Well..." He paused, waiting until he'd set the bags on the counter so he could show me instead.  "First of all, I wanted to replace your bottle of wine that we drank last night, but I also brought sparkling grape juice and soda."

He pulled the bottles out of one bag followed by a few small cartons of ice cream from the other and smirked. "I also brought these cus ice cream hangovers are much easier on the head."

"Yeah, I'll definitely be opting for the grape juice and ice cream tonight," I giggled. "This is really sweet of you, Jungkook. Thank you. I can't wait to dig in. Let me take your jacket while you put those in the freezer."

He looked so freaking hot in it, I kinda wanted him to keep it on, but I loved the way his shirts always hugged his deliciously defined chest. So, yeah, it was time for the jacket to come off.

"Oh thanks," he smiled as he slid his sexy black leather jacket down off of his broad shoulders and handed it to me.

This man was hotter than sin and ten times more dangerous. And that fucking smile... I swear it made him look even more tempting, if that were even possible.

As I put his jacket away, I had to fan myself just thinking about how his jeans had one of those gaping holes at the knees that exposed just enough of his toned thigh to make my mouth water slightly. When I reentered the kitchen, Jungkook unknowingly interrupted the little fangirl moment I had going on in my head, totally killing my buzz.

"So, you said your day was kind of a roller coaster. You wanna talk about it?"

He leaned back against the counter, already finishing off his first slice of pizza while I gathered some plates and glasses from the cabinets and a bag of chips from the pantry.

"Not really, but I'll give you the short version when we sit down."

We headed over to our little spot on the living room floor and filled our plates with pizza and chips. Jungkook poured us both some grape juice while I shared my 'news'.

"Siwon showed up here a few hours ago unannounced."

"He showed up here? Are you okay?"

He interrupted before I could even tell him the most important part, firmly setting the bottle back down to give me his full attention. I could tell he was genuinely concerned, but I could also see the drastic change in his demeanor when he pressed his tongue to the inside of his cheek as his jaw visibly clenched.

"Jungkook, I'm fine." I touched his shoulder to reassure him. "And I'm even better now that you're here."

His features softened slightly like he wanted to return my smile but his didn't quite reach his eyes.
