Majesty Of Zion | Kookjin ✓

Chapter 8

Seokjin's POV:

The day after being kissed by an intoxicated Jungkook. How am I going to face him? I have never been so nervous to start a day before, much less because of a kiss. All of a sudden, the memories of that passionate kiss come rushing back to me. I focus on making breakfast and do my best to forget it. Jungkook, "..."

"!" After what happened last night, his sudden appearance sends my heart leaping into my throat. "G-good morning. Breakfast is ready." I stated.

"I don't need any." Expressionless, he plops down at the table, lethargically reaching for a glass of water. Now that he's getting the nutrition he needs from solid foods, Jungkook no longer drinks green smoothies. Are we seriously just going to eat breakfast after what happened? I don't think I can look him in the eyes. Languidly strolling over to the table, Jungkook sits down directly across from me. "Last night..."

"...!" I grab a spoon, but when he says that, my hand freezes in midair. Rubbing his temples, Jungkook places his glass on the table.

"I woke up again and again throughout the night with the worst headache. It's still killing me." Oh. Ohhh...! He's talking about his headache.

"Well, you drank a whooole lot last night."

"...Did I really drink that much?" ...! There's a hint of something sensual in that drowsy gaze. Reminded of the way he looked at me in bed, I quickly break eye contact.

"...I figured you'd be hung over, so I made clam chowder. If you don't feel like it will make you sick, you should really eat something."

"Why is this bread green?"

"It's something new they are selling at the bakery. It's supposed to be made with spinach."

"...Pfft." Reaching for the soup, Jungkook tries a spoonful of clam chowder. "..." Well? Does he like it? As he takes a bite of bread, Jungkook's eyes turns to me. "You could hurry and eat quickly too, you know. You don't have time to waste today."

"Oh, yeah, you're right."

"I am going to give you a makeup lesson once you are done cleaning the pool."

"Okay, sounds good." My eyes flit to Jungkook as he eats some more clam chowder. He's acting just like he always does. So what was that kiss about?

After finishing up with my morning beauty routine and chores around the house, I head up to Pandora to clean. Deck brush in hand, I scrub the poolside area. Okay, once I am done with this, I will move on to polishing the deck chairs and the table. "Ooh, beauty spotted at ten o'clock!" Somebody's here. I turn around to find Jimin waving affably as he approaches me. Behind him are Namjoon and Taehyung.

Taehyung, "So, you're answering to 'beauty' now? Sounds like you're feeling more like a cover guy by the day."

"Please, I'd never call myself that." I stated.

"But a man's beauty starts within. You have to believe you are the most beautiful guy in the world. Self-awareness is very important."

"Self-awareness? That's a funny way to pronounce 'delusion'."

Jimin, "Want to drink with us, Jin?"

"Sorry, I'm on the clock..."

"Aww, but it's so much more fun to drink with a guy around."

Namjoon, "Leave him be... Keep cleaning."

"Okay." I stated. The three men kick off the afternoon with some poolside drinks. I guess it would be awkward to clean the area directly around them. Just as I'm about to put down the deck brush, someone addresses me from behind.
