You were standing at a stool on your father's mechanic shop, waiting for your mom to call you again and inform you further of the situation that seemed to have occurred with your father and the call he got from the revenue office, informing him of unpaid taxes that he had which if he wouldn't pay off, they will be proceeding to arrest him for intentional fraud towards the state.

You knew well that there was no way that your father would be stealing on taxes so you wanted to believe it was some kind of misunderstanding which they will resolve quickly, yet it had filled you with worry and anxiety. 

"Come on Y/n. I told you that I resolved it. You will see everything will be fine."Jungkook patted your back in comfort as he tried once more to calm you down, the way he had from the moment that you hang up the phone call with your mom, and ended up explaining to him what was going on since he had listened to a part of the conversation. At first, he was as surprised as you, then he assured you that he had some connections that could take care of this situation and he proceeded to do some phone calls which you hadn't had the chance to listen to.

After he finished those phone calls he had continued his work on the car as if there was nothing to worry about but you couldn't be as carefree as him. Firstly because you were doubting if he really had any such connections and secondly because even if he had them, the fact that he would use them for your father's sake without anything in return sounded too good to be true.

"I hope so" You replied just a second before your phone rang and your breath halted in your lungs as you hurried to reply.

"Yes, mom!" You said while holding your phone with your two hands at your right ear, agonizing over what she was about to say.

"Oh? ..Really?...Yeah..okay..take your time, I will be fine...I will let him know...Bye" She hanged up and you just slowly turned your head to look towards Jungkook who flashed you a smile.

"Told you it was gonna be okay." He said, being completely sure that what she told you was good news and he was right, as everything seemed to have been solved somehow.

"How the heck did you managed that? The situation was serious as far as mom said." You questioned him and he grabbed the cup of coffee which you had brought and taken a sip from the now cold liquid.

"Having a variety of friends can come at handy sometimes." He casually replied then he proceeded to return to the car which he had to check if he had fixed it or not and you just looked at him, surprised by his behavior but also very thankful that he had actually gotten your father out of that mess so easily.

Jungkook sat down on the driver's seat and took a deep breath before turning the key and to his as well as your surprise, the engine came to life unlike before that the vehicle didn't even turn on.

"I fixed it?!" He exclaimed doubting himself and you quickly rushed to his side, equally surprised and enthusiastic that he really did it after so many hours of work.

"Oh my! You really repaired it! You made it!" You cheered for him and he jumped out and grabbed you in a hug that surprised you and made you freeze.

"Yes! Oh my, I am so happy! This is the first time I succeeded in this. " He pulled away and started talked, obviously happy and you smiled at him, understanding that his hug was just an impulse which he hadn't taken notice of yet.

"See, you are getting better. You will make your dream come true soon enough." You told him as you assumed that becoming a good mechanic must be his dream.

"I will definitely work hard to make all my wishes come true. Just wait and see Y/n." He spoke as he got back in the car to turn it off.

"I like that determination. I will be cheering for you." Jungkook couldn't help but smirk as he heard you say those words.

"Are you sure that you will be happy with my success Y/n?" He asked and you replied without thinking much of why he would ask such a thing.

"Of course. Why wouldn't I?" You smiled and he got out of the car and stood before you, looking at your eyes with a gaze that made you feel some kinda way inside.

Em...Oh! Right. I forgot. Mom said to tell you that they are both very thankful for your help. "You suddenly remembered, using your mother's words as a means to escape the weird feelings he had woken inside you.

"I didn't do anything out of the ordinary tho. Anyone would have done that much plus they have treated me so well." His humble response made you admire him a bit more as you really concluded in your thoughts that he was a nice person.

"Still I appreciate it. I was really worried about what would happen yet you managed to solve the situation so easily and quickly. I am really thankful." You spoke to him sincerely and he seemed to be taking a moment to think as the humming and the tilting of his head indicated.

"Well if you are that thankful, how about you thank me in some..way." His gaze had turned to a playful one as said those words and your eyes widen for a moment, your mind has jumped to a certain place.

"What..kind of way you are talking  about?" You managed to ask as you left out a burst of awkward laughter, feeling embarrassed by your own thoughts that may have misinterpreted his words. However instead of explaining what he meant to you, he suddenly grabbed your wrist and changed places with you, now being you with the back on the car and him right in front of you, his arms placed at the two sides of your body, trapping you between the vehicle and him.

You didn't say anything as you were unprepared for such an action and as he leaned closer, you looked at his eyes, seeing them getting nearer to your face till he stopped at close proximity. His eyes traveled to your lips, letting you know well what was he talking about, and at that moment, you couldn't help but feel the tension that had gotten created between you. 

It was obvious that there was a mutual attraction between you yet it was also too risky to start anything taking into consideration the messy state that you were inside. You yourself weren't sure what you wanted from your life, you weren't sure what you felt and why you felt like that at most of the moments of your life. Someone as unsure and troubled as you were with yourself, shouldn't be getting involved with relationships and ending up involved in her mess on more people who will be hurt in the future. And he just seemed to good of a person to break.

In all your life, there was only one person whom you really liked. He was the only one whom you really felt for even though he would never get to know about your true feelings since he is not alive anymore. He was so different from everyone else. He was truly so kind. He was the best soul you had ever come across and to your eyes, he was mesmerizing, beautiful. Not that Jungkook lacked outer beauty but it wasn't the surface that had won your heart back then. He does seem like a very nice person and you can't lie that you enjoy very much his company, but you weren't sure if this would be enough to enable any relationship to occur and go well.

The last time you had tried out being in a relationship had ended up disastrous after all. It was the first time you had gotten into a serious relationship and all just because that senior confessed to you one or two months after you had started university. In the beginning, you had said yes just to try something new, bring a change but as time went by you only ended up making him feel more and more lonely and pathetic as you subconsciously kept comparing him to him who was no more. At the end, he ended up cheating on you and you broke up not in the best of ways.

Jungkook however wasn't your ex, nor was him. He resembled him sometimes tho, at the way his eyes sparkled or his signature waving of the hand that he used to do. Maybe the resemblance was what made Jungkook feel so familiar and it made it easy for you to be around him. But Jungkook wasn't him. Otherwise, no way he would have been so nice to you nor he would have been implying that he would like to kiss you as he is now.

"If I do it..Will you start avoiding me?" His question brought your attention -that had momentarily drifted away- back to him and his eyes that had returned to your eyes, seeking a sign that you may want this to happen too.

"Is it too late to say that it was a joke?" He asked again as you didn't reply and you guessed that you had him in an awkward situation as he had openly shown that he was interested in you.

"Sorry. I am sorry." He apologized and leaned back, his eyes looking anywhere but at you, displaying his shyness and as you observed him, an urge woke inside you. A desire to be truthful and not let it end like this. Because honestly, you wanted to know how his lips taste like.

With such brave thoughts in your head, you took hold of his collar and brought his face back to the close proximity that it was then you let your lips quickly touch his, before quickly pulling back and looking at his eyes, surprised by your own actions.

He blinked once or twice, as those were the seconds he needed to process what you had just done then he smirked before he crashed his lips onto yours, giving you a kiss much different than the peck you gave him.
