"How strange to dream of you even when I'm wide awake."

Y/n's P.O.V

Few days bids farewell from my life, quite steadily. Probably it could be just my mind who's steady as if sailing ships into a calm sea.

After the congratulatory party or to be specific after ensuring the intimacy with Jungkook, life seems to support the onward breeze. But then again, it could also be the relaxation in my holidays after the long exhaustion at my work.

Whatever it is, I feel settled for the first time.

"Have you got your blanket?" Jungkook asks, before plopping himself beside me on the couch. His lap supports the balance of the bowl full of popcorn, while his hands attempt to start the movie.

"Yeah." Ensuring him, I drape the blanket over my legs.

Jungkook and I are kinds of 'together' but not together at the same time. It hasn't been months since I met Jungkook but still, his friendly behavior gives me a vibe of certainty.

Assuming all these through some days of observance wouldn't be appropriate. My brain suggests me to give some time while my mind has no hope. The scars of that rejection at the last moment left a huge barrier on me. It's truly difficult to open up to someone this quick, but I'll try my best, to pretend like Taehyung never existed in my life.

No one really knows about Jungkook and I being 'together', except Yuri. Even though, we haven't labeled our relationship yet. Everyone thinks of us as friends, so I'd also like to keep it 'friends', I guess. But still encouraging each other horniness at times, which surpasses the label of friends.

Welp...then it would be "friend with benefits" or what so ever.

I don't care about the labeling at the moment, as my mind is fully capitative in admiring the adorable being beside me.

The oversized sweatshirt simulates his muscles into softness. The sleeves being too big for his arms, effortlessly adds to the cuteness. His long hair dishevels into a cute bun, ever so perfectly. His lips slightly parted while his vision focuses on the TV. The way his legs are tug under the blanket of his isn't helping my situation.  All this soft and cute aura from him is making me want to curse.

Maybe...maybe if he wouldn't choose the attire for the day, I might not feel the sudden urge to climb on top of him and squish his cheeks as long as my mind spares.

The weather is a bit windy today. Even though I'm enjoying the soft comfort of my blanket, it can't be compared to the softness radiating from Jungkook. Maybe I could complain that I'm cold and he might call me to scoot closer.

Am I being too greedy?

Well...I can't help it. I bet nobody could ever.

The lack of courage in my mind isn't helping me to how to lure him in. How would I even start?

Pausing the movie, my eyes would seek for him for a moment before jumping on him. His doe eyes would be wider than usual, recognizing my sudden action.

"JEON JUNGKOOK! HOW COULD YOU MUNCH ON THE POPCORN SO PEACEFULLY WHILE I'M SUFFERING HERE DUE TO YOUR CUTENESS?" I would yell out in frustration while squishing him.

By instinct, I shake my head in disagreement at the 'situation' that just tingled my idea bar. No! That would be too violent. My brain repeats while I shake my head aggressively. Till a suppressed giggle from Jungkook adds in the warm air as my gaze again targets him.

Did he just laugh at me? How dare-

"Can't believe that dude really did that!" He lets out a chuckle, referring to a movie character. His bunny teeth in the display for my vision, only to attack me with 'UwU'. Not getting any reaction from me, his doe eyes felt the need to take a glance at me after an eternity.

While I was busy admiring him like a fool. The moment his orbs drops in me, the nervousness acts up in my system. Being forced by the tense atmosphere, I awkwardly let out a 'made-up laughter' that last till he observes me.

"Y-yeah." My inauthentic defense towards the awkwardness continues till I choke on my laughter.

"Are you okay?" He gasps out. His hand quickly reaching out my cheeks while I'm on the verge of recovery from my choking. But the embarrassment never forgets to shot up in my mind afterward.

Fortunately, it dissolves in the intimate gaze of his light-brown orbs.

Those light brown eyes are piled up with so many subtle hues from caramel to cocoa. Never failing to make me lost in its depth.

Deep to intimidate.

But as I mentioned. I'm not always good with 'eye contact.

"I'm okay," I reply. His lips purse into a smile before gaining back his posture. My mind shooting me up with questions and regrets. Do I really have to be that bad in eye-contact? Now I want to pull my hair in frustration.

"Are you really enjoying the movie?" He asks, pausing the movie.

"Uhhhh..." I emphasize. I don't know what to say as I haven't even glanced at the movie. Shit! I'm in trouble. The feeling of being asked by the teacher in front of the whole class is quite similar to the atmosphere now, though it's me and Jungkook only.

"I know you haven't watched the movie a bit." He states the fact before I could even lie. The steady aura maintains his facial expression, giving him a stern face.

Is he mad?

"Why aren't you answering?" He yells out, referring to my silence. Impatience grasp him as he grabs my arms, shaking. As if waking me up from my perfect little dream. And that's when I lose it as the sudden sense of self-conscious hovers in me.

"HOW COULD I WHEN YOU ARE ACTING ALL THIS CUTE?!" I blurt out. Instantly, the sense of realization grips as I hiss out in embarrassment. Whilst, Jungkook can't seem to stop his laughter. His chest heaves up and down as the laughter wiggles out of his whole body.

"You know what?" He starts, trying to maintain his laughter while cupping my cheeks to make me face him. But sadly, the embarrassment lets my gaze wander around everywhere but him.

His hands sneak around my waist, pulling me closer while he inhales in the crook of my neck. My eyes bearing the guilt as I remain stiff at his action, that I wanted so desperately minutes ago.

"You're the one cute here." He finishes his sentence with a soft whisper, before pulling back. His brown eyes again dominate my vision, but with much care and adoration. As if glimmering at the slightest bit of light.

Eventually, the ever-so-perfect cute moment intensifies as he softly presses his lips on mine. Ever so delicate yet heated. My lips can't help but dance along with his while my hand clutches around his sweatshirt.

The aura he's consuming today is screaming 'baby' though I'm the one who's straddled in his arms. Not long after, his doe eyes once again greet me while he lets his thumb brush my cheek. A smile around his lips going on and off, as I ensure him with a smile.

"You could've just asked me." He sulks in disappointment, while I giggle at him.

"I could, but I might not witness this side of yours." I refer, before leaning in. To capture his lips in mine again into a blissful kiss but luck doesn't favor me at all. Nope...never.

The vibration of his phone against the wooden table snaps us out of our moment, making him reach for his phone.

"Sir. We're in urgent need of you." The voice from the other side speaks up while Jungkook sighs out.

"Okay." He mumbles before hanging up.

His light-brown orbs bearing that surface of disappointment, the moment it appears in my vision afterward.

"Guess we've to continue this later, baby girl." He predicts, with a smirk across his lips, completely opposing his doe eyes.

Never did she know that life would reward her with his existence.
