Jungkook had decided the only way to move forward with Jina was to write a poem. He had written those flimsy verses a few days ago, but she deserved better. Jina deserved to be romanced. He wanted to be the man who introduced her to tenderness. He knew it was ironic given the beginning of their relationship. But he was beginning to enjoy tender emotions for her. And he really wanted to make her happy. Even if only for a few minutes.
The problem was that he wasn't sure pretty words on a scroll would move her heart. She was a woman of action more than sentiment, wasn't she? He might have to die for her to move her in the direction he wanted to take her. And then all of his efforts would be in vain. For he couldn't enjoy her if he was no longer with her.
Would she laugh in his face if he read her a poem which he'd composed for her? It was a risk he would have to be willing to take. But first, he had to write the poem. He sighed as he tried to rhyme.
"You have beautiful eyes.
They tell me no lies.
Don't keep them hidden.
I'll come unbidden."
He found the words came more naturally when he sang them. He rolled over in bed and gazed at her. She was still sound asleep. Which was rather ironic given the fact that he was the one working nights. But he was finding it hard to rest when he lay in a bed with her.
Was it odd that he wanted to woo the woman who was already his wife? He wanted to enjoy her kisses and her laughter. And other delights which he felt sure he'd get hit with a broomstick for suggesting at this point.
Was she a sound enough sleeper that he could sing under his breath and not wake her?
He decided to test the waters. He opened his mouth and began to sing very softly. His eyes were trained on her lovely face. The more he gazed at her, the more beautiful he found her. Her face was captivating in the gentle, early morning sunlight flooding the room from the overhead windows; it was painting her with its glory.
"You have beautiful eyes.
They tell me no lies.
Don't keep them hidden.
I'll come unbidden."
His sweet, clear tones filled the air between them as his hungry eyes devoured her mesmerizing face. They slid along every contour and delved into every divot and valley. They traveled across the tiny hills her eyelids created and down the mountain of her nose. They delighted in the plateaus her plump lips provided. He longed to kiss them...
"You have ravishing lips.
Finest wine one sips.
May I taste their kiss?
Do they hold some bliss?"
—
She awoke to the sound of an angel singing. She didn't even want to open her eyes. She was afraid both the enchanting voice and the lovely melody would disappear in the light of day. So she lay still as his song wrapped around her and his words invaded her heart. Was Jungkook singing? To her?
"You have beautiful eyes.
They tell me no lies.
Don't keep them hidden.
I'll come unbidden.
"You have ravishing lips.
Finest wine one sips.
May I taste their kiss?
Do they hold some bliss?
"You have glorious hair.
