21. Garden Of Butterflies
"Impossible loves makes the best stories."
"Are you saying you won't budge until and unless I tell you why was I crying?"
He nods, plucks the loose hair strands behind your ear, palming your cheeks and sighing, "Y/n. I don't want to see you cry." There's a soft tone in the way he speaks with you. "I'm not saying it for the sake of saying. I mean it."
The way he looks at you when he says that... anyone would think he'd do anything for you but he wasn't yours. Still far yet being so close to you. So, you avert your gaze.
"It's nothing. I just..." You compose yourself. Thanks to the pretty boy before you, the negativity almost vanish in thin air. The tears dried with no existence left. You sigh, pressing your feet together as a hair strand tucked behind your ear slips out, "I got overwhelmed with–" You point to your surroundings, "–all this. That's it."
His eyes won't let go of the little creases formed around his eyebrows. He wasn't yet satisfied with your answer. You hugged him tight as you were scared as if he'd vanish leaving you all alone. Which he wasn't planning on, anytime. He wanted to assure you.
"Look at me," He points at his eyes, "Here." And you look up at him. Jungkook decides to close the distance. The height difference between you both almost makes you scream. He was so tall that you had to tilt your head back to meet his eyes.
Jungkook presses his cold palms on your cheeks.
Your round eyes widen at the touch. "Such a cat you are." He says in a whisper as you suddenly frown. "No. Not a cat. Kitten I'd say." He corrects himself with a tiny smile, pressing firmly on your cheeks with his thumb. As if it sounded better. "Petite little kitten who wants to be a tigress. Very cute of you I'd say... but my kitten, let me tell you this." This man, Jesus. You were willing to him listen to him all day long.
"I know this isn't a situation where I expect you to act normal. It's okay to panic and get scared but..." His voice feels like a hug to you. Makes you want to correct him saying you weren't scared by those people at all but listening to his concerns for you didn't allow you to say a single word further. Just keep listening.
"I'm here with you. No matter what." He makes sure you hear him properly and clearly. His grasp around your cheeks softens. "I'll help you if you need me. Might be just not this, be it anything that would trouble you Y/n. I swear If I'm around you don't have to worry about anything."
His eyes bore into yours with care. "Anything." He repeats and nods his head. "You hear me?" The voice is deep and demanding asking you to understand him and believe in him. Jesus. He had your heart. You trusted him with everything you had. Offer him anything he asked for. Why wouldn't you?
"Perfectly fine." You reply, eyes shifting to his lips that are still not on yours yet. You bite down on your own and Jungkook gaze shifts lower to your mouth. Those plump heart-shaped pulled inside, stopping themselves from reaching his if he wasn't wrong. Even the thought makes his heart run miles and scream his lungs out.
Again. He was at it again. So, he shuts his eyes tight and does something out of instinct. Suddenly bops his forehead with yours, startling you. You blink rapidly taken aback as he steps back with a cheeky grin slowly that took over his lips.
"You looked like a baby so close." He scrunches his face and wipes the invisible tears on his cheek, "Such a crybaby." He pouts and laughs. In the end, making fun of you. It was a given from him.
"Jerk." You curse and flip your face away with a huff, already stomping and marching your way to the beach being all angry and ignoring him.
"So cute agh" He throws his head back, slapping his forehead and laughing with a fit. He loved that angry look on your face. The way your nostrils flair and those lips pulled out in a pout. Those eyebrows knit together only wanting to get his attention. This was getting unbearable for God's sake.
Jungkook runs towards you as you march towards the opposite way of the road, the whole wrong direction. Makes him laugh even more. He immediately grabs your fist and pulls you along to the right side as you helplessly get pulled away. Whining and cursing words at him.
While you get dragged with your heels almost burying the sand you notice the others getting towards the car. "Oh, there they are." Jungkook mouths the words for you getting closer to them, leaving the grip on yours and finding them look at you both approaching them too.
"Hey, why didn't you come along with us?" Jin asked as you and Jungkook glanced at each other. "Long story," Jungkook responded grinning and pushing you in front asking to join others as you scowl at him and catch upon them. Jungkook finds Taehyung and hovers his arm around him and spilling the tea.
Whereas at your side Yoongi makes a few disgusted faces as he says he became the victim of Jimin's handmade ice cream. Warns you to never try it. Jimin punches his shoulder playfully, sugar coats his words saying how he would offer only the nicest ice cream to you cause you are sweet. Makes you smile.
The rant and teasing keeps on ongoing as you get inside the car. Your body relaxes as soon as you take a seat. Your legs tire you from all the running and standing. Folding your arms close you rest your head on the headrest and shut your eyes.
Within a few minutes, the car turns calmly silent. The time passes away as much as you want it to stop, giving you time to live this moment a little longer. You haven't forgotten yet. Tomorrow sunrise you had to tell Jungkook the truth. The harsh truth you had no idea how he would respond to.
He wouldn't call you cute, he wouldn't tease you anymore. Wouldn't ruffle your hair to annoy you or give you the smile you loved so much. You were scared if he was even willing to talk to you after hearing the truth. You don't deserve him but you hope at least he forgives you.
You know it was a lot to expect but somewhere between his care for you, you wanted it to happen. You would lose it if he wouldn't even talk to you after it. Oh, how much you wish tomorrow wouldn't come at all but this has to happen someday or the day. For them. Jennie and Jungkook.
Easing your mind and not thinking about it anymore you calm yourself down and abruptly fall to sleep. Jungkook who is seated next to you glances at you. Your head slightly hits the car window while you doze off in deep slumber. The night moonlight shines on your face, making you look like a fairy.
He sighs. Brings his palm to your temples and rests your head on his chest. His arm wraps around to keep you close so you don't hit your head on the windows again. The ride goes smoothly. Calming and warm.
Within a few minutes, Jungkook finds himself sleepy too but that only last until you decide to shake his nervous system up. A low sigh is coming out of your lips, eyelashes batting caused by a little speed breaker ahead. The body is inclined towards him as your hands slowly wrap themselves around his torso. Nudging your cheeks close to his chest and hugging him to sleep.
Jungkook shuts his eyes. Immensely shutting his lips tight, dealing with the most nerve-racking situation ever. He felt his stomach flip, goosebumps freezing his skin and tingles happening inside his heart.
You were so damn soft. Just like a small pillow he wouldn't mind squishing the hell off. How long will he be able to resist himself? Why was he suffering so much? Why couldn't just everything turn back to normal where he only loves Jennie and see you as his best friend?
This wasn't doing him any good. He had to get away. So, without hindering your sleep he picks out his bag from aside and places it on the other side of you. The window side. Just as he tries to bring his hands to himself you shift and fall on his lap.
"Shit." He curses, finding you peck your lips together and palming his legs adjusting yourself and going to sleep again. He screams silently, rethinking his life decisions. What did he do to come here? With you sleeping on his lap. He shakes his head and rubs his face. Trying to calm himself the heck down.
He is almost pressing a fist to the mouth. Rigid posture, impatient. This was it. He was going to throw you away and wake you. As he decides to do that the car halts.
"It's your home, Kook," Namjoon glances back only to witness a flustered Jungkook and You latching onto him like a teddy bear lying on his lap. Raising his hands Jungkook murmurs, begging for his life at this point. "Help me!"
After everyone gets down, among everyone Taehyung stands forward to carry you out of Jungkook's lap. You don't hitch a single bit. Makes everyone stare at you in awe. You were indeed one of a kind.
The second you get lifted Jungkook finally can breathe. His face returned to normal and his heart came back to its actual pace. There was one thing he realized. Never to sit beside you. Maintain a good distance from you and avoid thinking of you.
After getting down he witnesses you wrap your arms around Taehyung's shoulders as your face rested on his neck. Your cold breath from the weather hit Taehyung and he doesn't seem bothered, he was carrying you wholeheartedly and Jungkook kind of felt betrayed.
Like maybe you were supposed to get close like that to only him? Or he was just a worrying friend?
"Day spent well," Jimin took his attention, sitting back into the car, as Yoongi nods in approval, "Yeah, let's meet again when Y/n leaves for Korea." Raising his brows Jungkook nodded, astonished by his interest in you, "Sure."
"Hey," Hobi came out of the car piling up gifts, "Take your gifts with you." Jungkook growls, "I've got a lot on my plate. Will take them later." He comes closer and picks up the congratulatory letters instead that were kept in a packet. "I'll take these for now."
"Taehyung are you gonna carry her in?" Namjoon asks peeping through the window of his seat as he responds, "Yeah," but Jungkook comes forward, taking everyone's attention back at him. "It's okay, I'll manage. Thanks Tae. I appreciate it." he spreads his arms, signing Taehyung to give you away to him. The packet of letters still hanging around your arm.
"Oh, okay" Taehyung doesn't hesitate and carefully shifts you to Jungkook making sure you don't budge. None of them wanted you to wake up. Admired the sleeping you. Like brothers watching their little sister fall asleep.
Which wasn't the same with the two best friends, Taehyung and Jungkook. The secret was kept only to themselves. Never to be told aloud. Jungkook gladly accepts you back and you weighed nothing. Thought, he could lift you anytime and hear your giggles. He loved that smile, please.
He deadpans. Realizes he did the same mistake again. Curses at himself and promises that this was the last time. Clears his mind and gets inside the house. The door was luckily open. After entering inside he finds his mom and dad stopping everything they were doing and looking at him.
He is confused for a second, wondered what made them stare at him like this but no, it wasn't just him they were staring at. It was you laying so peacefully in his arms as he carried you inside. God, now some questions were coming through he didn't want to answer. He groans and his parents smile widely.
"Jungkook..."
"NO."
