"All my fairy-tale thoughts are awakened by him."

Birds of A Feather - Billie Eilish

"Um—hi–I know it's super cringe but like—can I get your mail haha?" A woman is requesting for Jungkook email. She's got a pen and paper clutching in her fingers. Nervous and yet shy smile on her face.

You're sitting right opposite him in a convenience store. It's 2 am. You two are on the journey home in the car. Came here to have something to eat while on the way.

The girl looks in her mid-twenties. Little glitter sparkles on her eyes. She's wearing a cute skirt on a white camisole. Her hair roughly tied in a bun. The lipstick almost wiped. She's cute, you think. There are a few friends of her from behind who encourage her to approach Jungkook. Very excited and rooting for her. You assume they were all here after the club that's pretty close by from the convenience store.

Looking at the girl you can say it must've been her first time and she's doing something really out of the ordinary tonight. A night she can look back on someday and smile about it.

But she unfortunately chose the wrong man.

Jungkook clasps his hands together. He's in a formal black shirt fitting him perfectly on his strong shoulders and thin waist. Freshly bathed. Hair neatly pulled back. Rich fragrance giving off him. Oh, if you were the girl you'd cry about being rejected by him.

"I'm sorry," he lifts his head towards you, "I have a girlfriend."

Her eyes go all wide. Immediately she glances back at her friends in shock for assuming he was single, when it was obvious he was with a girl. They gasp and timidly run out of the convenience store as the girl cups her mouth. Bows twice and thrice, apologizes to you and Jungkook and dashes outside with a shriek.

You burst into laughter as soon as she leaves and Jungkook meets your eyes, smiles, "What makes you laugh?" He takes his last bite and you pull your chair close to him and bend forward. His eyes fall on your lips and a tension creates between you two. You grin so wide that he can't stop smiling either.

"She was cute." You say.

"You're cute." He debates, his voice low and sincere. You burst into a soft laugh, and he rests his chin on his hands, his eyes never leaving yours. "What's so funny?" He asks, his gaze warm.

You shake your head and smile. "Nothing, it's just surreal. Sitting with such a handsome man, who's literally so literally out of everyone's league. It is crazy how I am your—"

Before you can finish, he cuts you off with a sudden, breathtaking kiss. The world pauses as his lips meet yours, soft yet urgently. He cradles the back of your neck, pulling you closer, his fingers threading through your hair. His other hand slides around your waist, drawing you in until there's no space left between you.

Pulling away from the kiss you take a sharp breath when he just lunges forward for another kiss. Thousands of butterflies in your stomach but you stop him, groan, "People are watching..."

People only meant the conventional store guy staring at you two. It was so embarrassing.

"You look so pretty when you laugh." He breathes hard, tilts his head, flutters his eyes close to give you a quick kiss on the cheeks.

You quiver. Hold his hand. "Let's throw the empty containers." You pick your and Jungkook's food boxes. Don't look up. Just head for the bin and throw it. Get out immediately and go to the car.

Before you can get in, Jungkook steps in front of you, his height towering over yours. Your head lightly touches his chest. He pulls out a handkerchief and gently reaches for your hand, wiping it clean with tender care. Your knees feel weak, almost giving out.

"...Kook." You mumble and he hums in a response, questionably.

"I love you." You whisper, eyes low. And as soon as he hears your words he pauses. Spares you a glance. He says nothing and you blink a few times before looking up, only to find him gazing at you with such intensity that it takes your breath away.

"You say all this stuff and expect me to stay sane, don't you?" He's got his brows furrowed. Hands now holding yours as if he's the lucky one to have you.

"I..." he shakes his head, cutting you off, "Please let me kiss you or I'll go insane." His voice is almost a plea, filled with desperation for you. You are amazed that he even likes you, let alone love you.

"Why me...?" You lower your eyes to his hands, bringing them up to your lips. Jungkook's eyes widen with emotion as you gently kiss on his knuckles. He drops down, crouching, his head bowed, but his hands still holding yours.

"Because you make me, me, love." He admits in a breathless mutter, "You've been there for me when no one was." He has still got his head down. "Although it was Jennie I fell for at first... you were the one to make me feel what being loved or loving felt like."

He looks up, brows scrunched, so many emotions in his eyes, "Y/n, I don't know if you noticed but... I feel like we're tied together. Like we were meant to be."

You feel so much in this moment.

"Although I knew Jennie was the one, it's insane how I was still so—" he's so touched, cannot express how much he feels in mere words, "–how I was so attracted to you as if I'm the other end of a string attached to you."

Your heart feels heavy. Tears are coming up in your eyes. He realizes and immediately gets up. Cups your cheeks, "No, don't cry." He nods, his forehead resting against yours. "You deserve all the love—you deserve so much more than me. I hope I can give you all my heart, love, my everything... even my life if you ask for it. And fuck I'm not lying."

He holds his chest. "This heart is in debt to you for the rest of my life." He leans forward and leans in to kiss your eyes, "And yes I love you, more."

You cry out and Jungkook pulls you into a hug. You wrap your hands around his back and cry, cry, whisper thank you's for loving you. For choosing you when you didn't even choose yourself. Like you've always kept others before you when all Jungkook's done is kept you before anyone else.

He kisses the top of your head and you nuzzle closer in his warmth. Feel the cosiness from his arms. Don't want to let go. Care no crap about anyone watching when he was so shamelessly open about loving you, you could do the same.

Letting go of the hug you suddenly notice behind Jungkook the girl from earlier getting scolded by a guy. None of her friends around.

Jungkook glances back where you were looking, only to see the guy taking off his coat and wrapping it around her. "I told you to not go around with those friends..." he looks quite handsome, Jungkook thinks, watching the girl pout and look away, biting her lips. "Why do you even care?" she asks, her voice defending.

The guy stares at her, his eyes softening. "Because I..."

She pierces her gaze at him. "No, do not be a creep. If you're here to pick me up. Just do that." She starts walking and grabs his hand to lead him to the car. He drops his face in his palms, shyly cursing under his breath, unable to show her how much he's in love with her.

Jungkook chuckles, "Love is so complex nowadays." He says it to you and you nod, smiling.

"And beautiful."

"Just like you."

"Are you saying I'm complex?" You ask, teasingly surprising him.

Jungkook turns away with a smirk, "You said it, not me." He starts to walk to the car and you gasp, pushing him playfully and grabbing the keys from him. He is smiling like a sunrise on a starry night. "Let me drive, you must be tired." You huff acting annoyed as you try to open the door, but it doesn't budge.

You blink in surprise as a hand from behind you clutches the door. Turning, you find Jungkook, who bends down and locks his lips with yours. It's a soft kiss, your lips fully in contact, a kiss showing how he is obsessed with you.

You don't hold back, getting on your toes and kissing him back as he opens the door and takes you inside.

Picture of You - Sarah Kays

"Let me pour you a glass." Jungkook stands beside your mom in the dining hall, effortlessly charming her as he helps her with the drinks. It's been a day since everyone returned home, and the evening air is a warm, gentle breeze coming through the windows.

"Oh, how sweet of you." Your mom pats his back, her eyes twinkling with sweetness. Jungkook smiles, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Anything for a beautiful woman like you," he replies smoothly, a different aura glowing through him. Your mom blushes.

You gape at him, and he shoots you a quick secretive wink.

"Shall I grab you a chair?" He continues, his tone rigid and warm at the same time with your mom. He seems to be determined to win over your mom completely, while your dad watches him with suspicion and curiosity, holding you close.

"What's up with that kid, seducing my wife?" He asks. You break into a laugh. Your dad tilts his head at you, a small smirk on his lips, "What? Don't tell me you don't see that."

You stiffly nod, agreeing but adding, "He's just trying to be a good kid."

He huffs and you look up at him, "Appa..."

He hums in acknowledgement. "What do you think of Jungkook, honestly?" You ask him. He squints, "You mean as a person or as your boyfriend hmm?"

You pull back from the hug, blinking in surprise.

"You thought I couldn't figure that much? Funny little girl I'm your dad for a reason." He taps your cheeks. Smiles. "He's a good boy." He now glances at Jungkook, who's now setting the table with your mom, his movements careful and graceful.

On the other side, Jungkook's dad washes dishes, not letting his wife lift a finger.

"He's from a very lovely family, Y/n." Your dad's expression softens, "I've seen them be in so much love, I'm sure he understands what real love is like. Also sure, he will be willingly giving you all of him, without any hesitation."

You pout and your dad mirrors your expression, his eyes turning emotional, "I know baby, I hate giving you to him but again, he's the kind of man that can take care of you, like I do."

Jungkook glances over at you, his eyes locking with yours, his intense gaze that makes your heart skip a beat. He moves, each gesture showing his smooth charisma that's so impossible to ignore.

Your mom laughs at something he says, clearly smitten, and you realize how his warmth spreads around the people he's with.

"See?" Your dad whispers, "He's already got everyone wrapped around his finger."

You smile, feel that love empower you, nuzzle in his arms, "Yeah, he's something special."

Your dad nods, "Yes, sweetheart." He pats your head, "Just like you, just like you."

They Don't Know About us - One Direction

You're lying on your bed with Jennie. The ceiling is quite familiar. "Ah, I miss laying down like this." She whispers and you smile, "Same."

A knock at your door breaks the silence. You get up, "Come in." And the door slightly opens to Jungkook peeking in. His head half in and half outside, "May I?" He smiles, funnily, his eyes hinting at something funny.

Jennie gets up. Eyes him. "Leave my bestie alone for a second please, let her breathe." She jokes, pulling you closer to her as you giggle.

Jungkook is completely offended. Squints his eyes. "Although I'd like to highly defend that..." he extends his hand holding a packet inside, "I brought ice cream."

Jennie shuts her mouth. Jungkook smiles sarcastically, "Well, seems like you don't want it." Jungkook now looking at you, "My girl and I can have it somewhere—" and Jennie gets off the bed, you get startled as she approaches Jungkook who doesn't look surprised.

She holds the door and he is waiting.

"You are allowed to come in." She respectfully opens the door and Jungkook breaks into a big smile. "Smart." He grins so wide and comes in as Jennie from behind mimics him with an ugly face, 'smart? Bleh bleh'

You giggle again and Jungkook takes his seat next to you, peppers a quick kiss on your cheek, "I've brought your favourite flavour." He blushes like a puppy as you smile, and caress his hair, as if he is indeed a puppy, "Thanks, cutie." And he wiggles.

Jennie dies of cringing. Gags.

"Give me my ice cream, thanks." Jennie snatches the packet from Jungkook who mouths something in his lips as you shush him, tell him to be a good boy and his expression immediately turns sweet. His eyes all crinkling.

Jennie sticks out her tongue and Jungkook huffs at her. Opens his ice cream cover. "When's Taehyung coming anyway?" He helps you take off the cover as Jennie sitting on the other side of you wiggles her legs above the floor. "Taehyung?" She has already taken a bite of her ice cream, "Tomorrow, officially introducing himself."

You hug Jennie and wrap your arms all around her, "I'm so happy for you."

"Me too." Jennie grins, her ice cream smudging a little over her lips. You notice, and wipe it for her and she blushes, "Thank you." The moment you glance back at Jungkook you suddenly get startled to find his ice cream smudged around his mouth.

His doe eyes sparkle, "Oh, looks like I got it smudged too, haha." He leans forward, "Help me please?" And you throw your face in your palms and shake from silent laughter. Jungkook waits and is smiling so much.

Whereas Jennie goes towards your bag. Her ice cream almost done. She removes a camera. Tells you to not wipe off Jungkook's face yet. And Jungkook is too dazed to notice what Jennie is up to.

You place your ice cream cup on the bed rest. Grab a napkin almost ready to wipe until a flash appears and Jungkook blinks. His gaze falls behind Jennie who is taking pictures of him.

"Oh, lovely. Perfect, just like that." She angles the camera and Jungkook's jaw drops. "You girl—" he gets up and you hold his hands, stopping him from approach Jennie, "uh-uh." And he feels the betrayal. "Smile, baby."

And although he likes you calling him baby he pouts. "She's taking ugly pictures of me and you're letting her—"

Shaking your head in response you pull your finger up, raise your brows, "Just a little revenge for the picture you took of me and left when yours was supposed to be taken too, remember?"

He recalls the moment when you threw ice cream all over your face and he forcefully took pictures of you. Making fun of you.

"I see, I don't like to lose either." And before you could guess what he means he pulls you into a kiss and your eyes go all wide. He laughs in between kisses and nudges his nose all over your face. Grabs your face in his palms and doesn't let you get off him.

You cry for help, and Jennie has taken her leave. Completely aware of what's happening next.

"You traitor! Help!" You shriek for help from Jennie, but she's officially gone, leaving you at Jungkook's mercy as he now holds your fingers, playfully trying to wrestle you from stopping him.

"Christ—you pervert." You laugh, tossing him onto the bed. He laughs so loudly as he lands at the bed, the sound fills the room with laughter. You climb on top of him, now rubbing your face against his, and he cannot stop giggling, savouring the moment like nothing else matters.

It feels like everything has fallen into place, like all the wrong decisions until now have only led to something truly wonderful. The love that started from emails has blossomed into the best thing in your life. What once seemed like a mistake—emailing him—turned out to be the most rightful decision ever.

As you lie there, tangled together, you realize this is pure love. The kind that makes you loved and cherished. With each laugh and love shared giving you hope for a very bright future.

It's the love that makes you believe in fate, in destiny, in every little thing that led you to this perfect moment. And as you look into Jungkook's eyes, you see your entire world reflecting on you, knowing that something extraordinary will begin.

If You Love Her - Forest Blakk

The air is filled with excitement and nervousness. You're anticipating nervously as you sit down in front of your mirror, your heart pounding. Jennie is working on your hair, her fingers moving carefully, while Rose, the well-known celebrity shows up early just for you, adding finishing touches to your make-up.

The room is filled with so much excitement, the very annoying kids running around, small cries, smiles and laughter.

Jennie grins at you through the mirror, "You look absolutely stunning. Jungkook is going to lose his mind."

Rose nods, her eyes sparkling, "He's a lucky guy, and you, my dear, are radiant."

Meanwhile, in another part of the venue, Taehyung, the ultimate wingman, made sure everything ran smoothly. He moved around checking on all the details. His handsome charm and enthusiasm keeping everyone focused and calm.

Jimin being in charge of decorations, his artistic touch turning a simple space into a fairytale setting. He moved swiftly with the help of Jin, placing flowers and candles, making sure every detail was perfect for the great day.

Outside, Namjoon and Hobi forcing Yoongi to rehearse the funny performances for the reception, laughter echoing everywhere.

As the time slowly almost came closer to the end, you felt mix of emotions–excitement, love, and nervousness as Jennie squeezed your hand reassuringly, "It's time."

The music started, and you took a deep breath, stepping out into the aisle. A soft melody fills the air. You began your walk towards the aisle, each step closer to your forever one, your heart pounding against your chest.

The venue is dreamlike because of Jimin's help, flowers adorned with such beauty. The scent of roses and lilies mixed with the cool evening. Candles lit bringing beauty.

Jungkook stood at the altar, his figure illuminated by the soft glow of the lights. His eyes widened with emotions as he saw you. He looked breathtakingly handsome in his suit, but it was the expression on his face that rather took your breath away.

His eyes were glistening with tears and looked at you as if you were the best thing he could ever have.

With every step, memories of your journey togetherness flashed before your eyes–every laugh, every tear, every moment that brought you to this day. Your heart swelled and you could see how Jungkook felt the same.

Jungkook took a deep breath as he watched you approach, his emotions raw and visible. His gaze never wavering, filled with so much love that it ached your heart.

As you reached the altar, Jungkook stepped forward, taking your hands in his from your father's. His touch was gentle but firm. He whispers, "You look like a dream." His voice has so much of emotions.

The officiant begins the ceremony, but you focus solely on Jungkook. The world around blurring. Your focus is only being Jungkook in a small bubble of your own. A bubble of love.

Jungkook's hand trembled slightly in yours. When it was time for the vows, his voice shook, "I can't believe this moment is real." He began, his eyes locked with yours, "From the moment I met you, my life changed. You brought light to my dark days, and love into my heart. I vow to love you unconditionally, to support you in every dream, and to cherish every moment we have together." He smiles, "You are my everything, and I promise to be by your side, no matter what life brings our way."

Tears glisten in your eyes as you listen to his words, the feeling of his love in every word he says. When your turn arrived, you took a deep breath. "Jungkook, you are my heart, my home, and my greatest gift. I vow to stand by you, to love you fiercely and endlessly. You've shown me what true love felt like. And I stand before you promising to be your partner in all of life's moments, both beautiful and challenging. Together, we are stronger, and I promise to cherish you and our love for all my days."

As your vows end, the officiant smiles warmly, his voice steady as he declares you husband and wife.

Jungkook's hand cups your face with utmost tenderness, his eyes filled with love. Slowly, he leaned in, his lips brushing against yours in a kiss that felt like the creation of every beautiful moment you've shared. The kiss was soft and lingering, filled with the promise of love to each other.

Everyone around erupts into cheers and applause, but all you can focus on is the feeling of Jungkook's lips on yours. The overwhelming feeling surrounding you two. And when you pull away, you see the tears mirroring in his eyes, and in this moment you remember those first emails, now sealing your forever in a bond beyond words and mails and that G-mailing Jungkook was meant to be.
