Chapter 15: Who taught Jungkook to flatter himself?
As the sun dips below the horizon, Milan transforms into a enchanting paradise. The sky is painted with hues of warm orange, pink, and purple, a breathtaking sunset that indicates the beginning of the magical date that Jungkook and Y/N are looking forward to.
The streets of Milan come alive with a soft, golden glow as elegant street lamps light up, displaying Milan's historic buildings and fashionable boutiques. The sound of laughter and music fills the air, creating a lively atmosphere that's pure Italian.
The couple steps out of the hotel and make their way onto the streets. Jungkook dressed in his usual attire, with a white silk shirt, formal pants and a suite and Y/N in a cute, floral white dress, they both walk side by side to each other, their shoulders momentarily touching.
Their first stop, as already planned, is the iconic Duomo, the majestic Gothic cathedral that dominated Milan's skyline. Illuminated by lights all around, it stands as the centre of attraction of the city, creating a perfect backdrop for photos.
Y/N's eyes widen in awe, observing the intricate carvings, statues and the stunning, Gothic architecture as they near the Duomo.
In contrary, Jungkook's breath gets stuck at his throat as he looks up to the tall, holy site. He can feel his chest tighten as if someone is squeezing it from inside.
Damn Jungkook! You should back off... He thinks to himself and instinctively, grasps Y/N's wrist. Y/N snaps her head back at him, confusion lingering in her eyes.
"I-" Jungkook sucks in his breath, "I ain't going any further," he pants, "I... I'll be nearby... In a cafe...!"
He turns around and is about to rush away when Y/N stops him, "Hey! What if I get lost and can't find you?"
Jungkook scoffs, "That's none of my business! I'll be the happiest then, to get rid of you."
Y/N rolls her eyes in annoyance, "Give me your number at least, so that I can contact you."
Jungkook huffs and pinches his nose bridge. All she wants is to make my life more miserable than it already is. Goddamn these 5 months of my life with his woman. He stretches out his hand, "Give me your phone."
He snatches her phone from her hand and is quick to save his number on it. He returns it without looking at her and walks away.
Y/N just stares, being dumbfounded at his disappearing figure. Oh why?! Why is he so weird and strange?! Can't he be a bit nicer, as complementing to his handsome face?! She sighs. Let's not ruin my good mood because of this piece of shit.
Y/N wanders around the cathedral, marveling at the stunning stained-glass windows and ornate details. She can't resist taking selfies with the historic backdrop, her lips pursing as she takes a look at her perfect selfies. I'm pretty, ain't I? She giggles at that thought.
Strolling through the antique hall, she listens to the guides explaining about the history of the Gothic cathedral.
Y/N's eyes widen in awe and surprise, getting to know about the time it took to be built.
576 years... is a long time.

After exploring the Duomo to the fullest, Y/N contacts Jungkook to know his whereabouts and finds him moments later in a small pizza shop.
"Ah, there you are!" she waves at him and makes her way towards him. Jungkook just looks up at her mindlessly and then, sets his gaze back to his phone and continues what he was doing.
Y/N takes a seat in front of him and stares at him with a frown. Weirdo. "What are you doing?"
"Checking e-mails," he replies nonchalantly, sipping his coffee.
She sighs and asks, "Have you had your pizza?"
Jungkook shakes his head, barely paying any attention to her.
"Okay so... What about you try my favourite pizza today?" she asks him, excited to hear his response, anticipating him to agree to her.
He glances at her with a frown and asks, "And what is it?"
"Garlic and cheese pizza!" she exclaims, her voice laced with enthusiasm.
Jungkook stares at her in terror. Wow! Great! Why need to poison me with garlic to kill me? Stab me with a stake and turn me into dust! That's less painful.
She frowns, able to hear his thoughts. Why do you keep saying that I want to kill you? What's wrong with you?
He gives her a look of disbelief. Look how dumb you are. Have you ever heard of any folklore in which a vampire has a garlic dish on silver cutlery?
I'm not a vampire so, how am I supposed to know?! She fights back.
Jungkook takes a deep breath. Calm down, Jeon. There's no use of bickering with a fool. He checks his wallet and pulls out some money, "Here. Go and order."
She hesitantly takes it, "You? What are you gonna take...?"
"Just cheese."
"Fine."
:::
As the scent of freshly baked pizza fills the air, Y/N's stomach growls in anticipation. Her eyes lit up as she stares at the chef skillfully kneading the pizza dough. Jungkook momentarily glances at her and purses his lips, trying not to smile. He finds her cute like this though he doesn't want to admit it.
When the pizzas arrive, Y/N's eyes grow wide as she takes her first bite. The combination of crispy crust, tangy tomato sauce, and creamy mozzarella melts in her mouth, leaving her speechless. Jungkook chuckles before taking a bite of his own pizza.
Y/N suddenly notices some girls, staring at Jungkook and whispering to each other. The way they set their lustful gaze on Jungkook and giggle, it makes Y/N flare up. She doesn't know why but she feels a fit of rage. Why are they staring at him as if he's a delicious meal?
That makes Jungkook look back at those girls. He gives a mischievous smirk, "I'm handsome. Why not?"
Y/N can't hold it back, "Oh! Could you please stop flattering yourself?!"
"I was spitting facts. What's your problem with that?" he raises his eyebrow at her.
"Oh please! Just tell me who taught you this!"
That sentence makes Jungkook's smile fade away as a memory replays in his mind. A painful memory that he always wants to keep deep in his mind and never rethink about it.
"Hyung, I don't understand! Why does everyone's attention turn to you when you go for a hunt?"
Young Jungkook voiced out his curiosity to his favourite person who was seated in front of him.
"Hmm?" the other guy glanced up at him for a moment and then smirked, "Why not? I'm handsome. So, of course."
Jungkook smiled, "Well, that's right. No one can deny that. Wish I could be as handsome as you are."
The other guy smiled, "Who said you're not, Kook? Of course, you are!"
"Really, hyung?" Jungkook's eyes lit up at his words.
"Yes! You're a vampire and vampires... they are always handsome!" the other guy smirked, "But not more than me! I'm the most handsome!"
"I know that, hyung!" Jungkook broke out laughing. His eyes crinkled at the ends and his nose scrunched momentarily, making him appear cuter than ever.
"Jungkook... Jungkook?"
"Uh?" Jungkook comes back from his thoughts and stares at her with his doe eyes. He smiles to himself, a sad one, remembering his loved one, "My bestfriend, Jin. He taught me this."
Y/N just shakes her head and smiles at him, "I see. You are very attached to him."
"Yes, I was," he looks down, closing his eyes for a moment to shake off that memory. He sucks in a deep breath, trying to erase the face of his dearest person from his mind. He doesn't want this thought to bother him again.
"Are you oka-" Y/N is about to ask him, judging by his tensed expression, but gets interrupted when Jungkook gets up from his seat.
"Let's go home. It's almost 8."
:::
The couple reach the hotel soon, after spending an amazing evening in each other's company which none of them can deny.
Stepping into the elevator, Y/N is left surprised when Jungkook presses the button of the top floor.
She frowns, questioning him, "Hey! That's not our floor..."
"I'm going to the bar," he replies, "I need some alcohol in my system."
Y/N nods, "Fine, I'll go too." Jungkook doesn't say anything. Nothing at all. That irritates Y/N but she decides to keep her mouth shut and not bicker like kids for a silly matter.
As they step into the luxurious bar, the vibrant atmosphere envelops them, instantly lifting their spirits. The interior is sleek and modern, with rich wood panelling and plush velvet sofas. The bar itself is a stunning centerpiece, crafted from polished black marble and illuminated by a mesmerizing LED light installation.
The air is alive with the rhythm of the romantic music playing in the backdrop and couples swaying their bodies on the dancefloor.
Y/N and Jungkook make their way to the bar, where they are greeted by the bartender, a charming Italian man with a warm smile, dressed in a sleek black suit.
"What would you like to have?" Jungkook glances at Y/N and asks her.
"I don't know... What will you have?" Y/N doesn't really have much idea about bars. She hasn't been to one before.
"Whiskey. Are you okay with that?" Y/N nods to assure him.
Jungkook takes a bottle of whiskey and leads Y/N to a table, pouring a glass and handing it over to her.
As they sip their drinks, they can't help but feel themselves drawn to the music. The crowd around them is lost in the moment, dancing and laughing together, and Y/N and Jungkook soon find themselves feeling the urge to dance too.
The scene reminds Jungkook of the their first intimate moment— that night when he arranged a party for his employees, a full moon night. He clearly remembers how he held her tiny waist in his hands and how they swayed their bodies to the beat. And that kiss... He can never forget that. It was his first kiss. He never intended to do that in the first place but he won't deny that it indeed felt amazing.
"The music... sounds good," Y/N mumbles to Jungkook, her voice indicating that she's slightly drunk.
"Yeah, it does," Jungkook nods, agreeing to her.
Y/N let out a laugh, "Remember that night how we danced...?"
Jungkook chuckles, "Yeah, that felt amazing. Wanna give it a shot again...?" he asks her, a hint of hesitation lingering in his voice.
Y/N raises her eyebrows, "Are you... asking me out for a dance, Jeon?"
"Yeah...?" he says, sipping the remaining golden liquid from his glass, "Why? Are you not in the mood?"
"No, it sounds good...," she drinks up the remaining liquid as well, "I wouldn't mind giving it a try again."
Jungkook takes Y/N's hand and leads her onto the dance floor, where they lose themselves in the music and the moment. Their bodies move in perfect sync, their eyes lock on each other as they move swiftly over the dance floor, hands roaming around reach other's bodies.
Grabbing onto her waist and pulling her closer, Jungkook whispers in his drunken voice "I won't lie this time," he moves his eyes around her body, scanning her, "You're damn gorgeous."
Y/N bites on her lower lip and wraps her arms around his neck, whispering, "And I'm admitting it too," her cheeks turn flush red, whether it's because of the effect of alcohol or because of the moment, "You're damn handsome."
Jungkook heaves out a deep sigh and grunts. All of a sudden, he lifts her up in his arms and makes his way out of the bar.
Who knows? Maybe their date is far from over tonight?
Who do you think is Jin? And why does Jungkook not want to think about him?
