Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria

Zendaya Pov-Part 4

"Zen?" he stuttered, a massive smile on his lovely bunny lips.

You smirk as you look into his eyes as he raises his bucket head...the atmosphere becomes electric as you become acutely aware of each other...

The atmosphere was supercharged between the two people who were just standing there smirking at each other. Jimin was watching the two and snorting into his hands till Jungkook narrowed his eyes at the teasing glint in Jimins'eyes and turned his attention back to the cutest girl in front of him.

You decided to speak in Korean since you were in awe of the duo in front of you. Jimin and Kookie's eyes widened in amazement when you said so well.

In mock-elation, you chuckled and clapped your hands together and in a high pitched girly tone, you whisper-yelled, "Oh my goodness! Isn't it Bts's hottest maknaes? I...I still can't believe it. I'm meeting the world's most famous cutie pies." You fan yourself in full fangirl mode. Jimin grin amuses at this tall, enterprising girl.

Jungkook chuckled, "Oh stop it Zen...good to see you, girl."

His gaze is merely roving over your natural beauty, your wide smile and wild curly waves.

"Hello, Kookie...long time no see," you grin. "My favourite cookie in a jar."

"Wow, I can't believe we met in a mall so unexpectedly," he exhales. He moves closer. Jimin was standing there with an amused expression on his face.

You noticed your bodyguard, Vince, speaking with their bodyguards, informing them of your celebrity and the prospect of friendship.

"Jimin...let me formally introduce you to my little American friend, Zendaya Rhimes," Jungkook said, linking his arms with Jimin, who arched his eyebrows at Jungkook's flustered face. "Her mother ran a dance studio where Sungdeuk taught workshops, and I trained."

You raised your brows and smiled, saying, "What a mouthful of an introduction...Miss Fabulous Zen would've been enough."

Jimin smiled and bowed gently, and you followed, saying, "Pleased to meet you, Miss Fabulous Zen."

"Hey, watch it...no flirting with Zen," Jungkook said as he shoved Jimin a little.

"The pleasure is entirely mine...Jimin. In-person, you're extremely adorable." Jungkook scrunched up his face as Jimin grinned. Jungkook can be so jealous sometimes.

"Oh, Kookie...still the same, just a little ripped!" you laugh. You were both unashamedly checking each other out. He is extremely hot and sexy. He grew up well. You mused.

Jimin shook his head, mumbling, "Oh great!" when he saw how attracted the two started to get in the presence of each other. The way they look at each other tells it all.

"It's very good to see you, Zen...so surreal... it's to walk into a supermodel," Jungkook says with a smile.

You smile and drape your hair over your shoulders, saying, "Yeah, what can I say...even BTS has had the honour of knowing me..."

"'Are you still so cocky? Have you forgotten I'm older than you?' Jungkook grins.

"Oh, what are a year and one month...you're not ten years older." You grin and glance at Jimin with a big smile.

"So, Jimin...are you babysitting young Kooks today?" you joke as Kookie gasps.

"Zen, are you going to bully me in front of my Hyung?" He appears betrayed. Jimin broke out laughing. This girl is incredibly sassy, and Jungkook looked whipped entirely for her. He can see she understand what makes their Kookie tick. He has feelings for her.

You smile and wrap your arms around his shoulder, saying, "My bad!...all right, I'll do it in front of your bodyguards."

"Very hilarious it's great to see you, Zen...I don't want us to leave without our contact details." He removed his phone from his pocket and handed it to you. You shook your head and took yours out. You swapped phone numbers fast.

"Kookie...did you guys have brunch yet?" you don't want them to go too soon. Take a glance at where their bodyguards were standing with Vince.

"No, we'll simply get some takeout. The majority of the boys are still sleeping in. We needed some technology." Jungkook responded.

"Oh great...do you want to come over to my house for a few hours so we can create our special Monster meat sandwich with Jimin? Your bodyguards are welcome to join us...or do you have to go rehearse or something?" you inquire of Kookie. Jungkooks' eyes sparkled. You'd like to spend time together and catch up.

"Oh! Please ask our bodyguards, Jimin, where you are staying currently.' Jungkook inquire.

"We relocated to a nearby Penthouse a few years back once I became too famous for comfort, and as you know, our paparazzi are relentless. I'm hoping they won't be at the front entrance. However, we can use the underground access." You smile, knowing full well that if your connection is captured, it will be huge news.

"I'd want to go see your real estate." You exchange meaningful smiles in each other's eyes. Jimin grins as he leaves the two to catch up and rushes to the men near the door. They nodded, and Vince seemed impressed that you were familiar with one of the most popular boybands now making waves in the United States. Vince learned from their staff that it is acceptable to accompany them, but they must depart immediately.

You didn't realize the management had the place closed just for you.

You were required to sign autographs, which was no problem for you or the boys. You all paid for your items, You and Vince were the first to leave, and they were trailing you with their black sunshades. You smirk, thinking that Fate must like you because you had to hang out with your favourite Bts -Members at home...

You were following Vince and the guys black Suv- followed you. You can't believe that the paparazzi were so asleep in the best scoop of the century: a top model and two famed Bts Members in your residence.

After a few minutes, you arrive at your Puck Penthouse. Vince used the underground parking on the other side of your apartment.

The boys were in awe. They all follow you up to the top floor. You and the boys were chatting about everything, and they wanted to know if you were going to their concert in three days.

"We were so busy with the tight modelling schedules that we forgot to purchase concert tickets in August," you shook your head in disbelief. "There was an ARMY meltdown when my pals found out that your performance for Citifield was sold out in 20 minutes.They are really passionate ARMY's..."you laugh when you thought back.

The boys and their security laughed, knowing the ARMY hysteria around concert times. Tickets are sold out before the general public may purchase them.

"That's such a shame...it'll be our final concert here in New York," Jimin says with a sigh and a pout.

"That is not on...can I get you some VIP tickets?" Jungkook frowns. He wants you to see him in concert performing.

"No, my friend Kylie's muso soulmate got us VIP seats, so we're set for Saturday, Gosh you guys are so popular," you exclaim. "Have you seen all of the campers outside of City Field since last week? I've heard that we have three hours before the gates open. Because of my hectic schedule, I've never attended a concert before."

"I'm really glad...Jungkook can arrange a Celebrity notice against your names...just provide him with your ticket numbers, seat numbers, and your friends' names, and you can obtain privilege access at a special gate where the special concert crew will guide you in," Jimin says with a smile.

Your eyes widen in awe at the smirking duo, "Whoa really...so we don't have to stand in line for hours?"

"No, my darling. Just ask your friend... did they mention "high ranking citizen"... if so, you're covered. You'll get an email with the times you have to be at the gate?" Jungkook gives you a sincere smile. He felt so happy and content when he gazed at you. That is the effect of Y/n on him. She made him feel so secure and comfortable.

You escorted them all the way to the patio. Jimin was peering down the balustrades to see what was happening at the bottom.

"Whoa!" he exclaimed. Vince directed the guests to take a seat and unwind. Your place completely enthralled Jungkooke. On the terrace, there was also a jacuzzi.

You pulled some cold beers and other drinks from the fridge and placed them on the table. The boys didn't want glasses; they wanted to drink it straight from the bottle. You simply shook your head.

You and the two maknaes made the decision to go prepare the sandwiches. Jungkook is very much in the preparation of your gigantic meat sandwiches. You always made this over at your old apartment, which was located on top of your studio, when you hung around with Jungkook.

You three were chatting as you worked on the massive sandwich. The countertops were stacked high with roasted beef, turkey, melted cheese, Italian salads, and various sauces. Jimin even created a special cheese sauce that is well-known at their family restaurant MANDATE.

You prepared the toasted bread. Jimin and Jungkook were in charge of the stacking and layering. While you were busy, the boys told you amusing stories about the band throughout the concerts and even provided you insight into what it was like on tour.

Their locally and globally challenges The difficulties they faced and how they overcame them by being genuine and taking every advice given to them to heart. They never lost sight of who they are. You smile and wish them the best of luck.

You and Jungkook told Jimin about your friendship and how you spent your time together. However, you never disclosed your romantic relationship.

"If our day jobs don't work out, we can get a terrific restaurant job." As the boys agreed, you grinned. You take a glance at the plate of delectable sandwiches. The boys can't wait to get started.

"Oh! Yeah...look how professional that is." Jungkook got out his phone and began taking pictures.

Jimin laughed "You want the Hyungs to cry over the delicious food we're enjoying right now...Taehyung will be disappointed that we abandoned him."

"He wanted to spend too much time with the video editors," Jungkook snorted. The inside joke makes them both snort. Taehyung was too reluctant to leave Yunru on her own. The boys were accompanied by their soulmates.

Something happened to Namjoon during the LA concerts, but the Hyungs are keeping quiet about it. They only noticed their Hyung -leader appear a bit gloomy, but Jin-Hyung told them that Namjoon ultimately split up with his best friend, Jia. It was devastating for Namjoon because BangPd and the management compelled him to. After a picture of them kissing circulated the internet when they en were from a short hiatus

Management issued a press release claiming that the photo, like the others of Namjoon and some girls he allegedly met on his Chile tour, was a hoax. Only the guys know the truth; he and Jia spent time in Chile with his family, and the Chilean Army recognized them. Unfortunately for Namjoon, he had a half-bond with a girl during the show, but she was suddenly "elusive." The boys told him that she might have seen the picture of him and Jia kissing in Chile, and she was hiding away from the superstar.

You walked to the patio to ask the bodyguards where they wanted to eat, but they like to eat outside, so you and the Bts-maknae set up outside, but the young stars preferred to eat inside and chat some more.

They sat them at a table inside the kitchen, conversing, and the environment was really relaxed. Jungkook was interested in your career, but you refrain from talking about your current dating status. Jimin wanted to laugh because he knows Kookie is curious about the lovely lady's involvement.

"You went to Seoul a few weeks ago? Why didn't we realize it, and you've been living right under my nose in Tokyo?" Jungkook appears perplexed.

"Yes, unfortunately. I did a shoot for Allure magazine and went to Tokyo Fashion Week to support my friend Kendell, who was walking the runway for a fashion show. for a French designer."You told them while biting into your meat-filled sandwich. Jimin and Jungkook ate a handful of them.

You even serve them with red wine from your mother's private cellar.

"... and I remember you saying a few years ago that if I ever come to Korea, you'd show me around, but we didn't know each other's contacts...but I met some pretty interesting people at the Allure office." You uttered it a little shyly. The boys were having a good time with their food and wine.

"Really...who?' Jimin inquires, piqued.

"Well, Felix, the Editor-in-chief's assistant. He was so charming that he even took me on a date, and I even met a very popular idol girl." You grin as you remember the adorable assistant who was so taken with you.

"What!? In South Korea, you were taken out by a boy!" and that wasn't me...Jungkook struggled it out.

"An Idol girl...have you heard of the band?"Jimin inquired after taking a drink of his wine.

You smile and teasingly look at Jungkook, who has his forehead furrowed in confusion. Oh-O.

"Lisa, is a very charming young lady. I believe she is a member of the popular girl group Blackpink!" When Jimin observed Jungkook's large bunny eyes widen in surprise, he burst out laughing. When he almost choked on his wine, you made sure you didn't look in his direction. With a smirk and a small apology, you look up.

You laugh, "I'm sorry, Kookie...I know we promised to go on a date to see all the palaces...but you're famous in your own country now. It will be difficult to stay under the radar. I heard that just talking to a girl is considered a dating scandal "You are aware of the current news of Lisa startled him.

Jungkook wrinkled his brow. " True, but will you return to our country?" He was shaken by the news that you had met his now ex-girlfriend.

Jungkook and Lisa agreed to take a break from their hidden relationship since she met and lost her soulmate, and he wanted her to grieve privately. They haven't talked in weeks, following the tragic event that rocked the idol world. He was saddened when she met her soulmate and became so enamored with him that he decided to distance himself.

"Yeah! Allure has supposedly given me another fashion spread for a cosmetic brand, and Dazed Korea has also asked me to model for a couple spreads by a well-known designer. My agency informed them that I will be 'available in May of next year.' My schedule is jam-packed." As you informed them, you beamed. Jungkook and Jimin appeared to be impressed.

"Wow, that's incredible... you must be in high demand," Jungkook seemed to be very proud of you. You have come a long way.

"Yes, following the final season of the Disney show, I enrolled in an online degree program and began modelling. But if my schedule allows it, I might try my hand at acting." You tell them about the over 40 magazine covers you've appeared on. Your success astounded Jimin and Jungkook.

You and the guys tidied up the kitchen after lunch. Jungkook's task was to load the dishwasher. Jimin's job was to wipe the counters and pack away the ingredients, while you did the mopping. You offer more sodas and snacks to the guys outside, and they thank you for your hospitality. While Jungkook was busy in the kitchen, you and Jimin kept the outside tidy by throwing all the bottles in the trash.

When you entered the living room, Jimin looked at you and said, "Zen, it's a honour to know you. I hope you'll be able to visit Korea soon. And we may connect. We can take selcas with your friends on Saturday night after the show or during the interval as a thank you,"

"Oh my goodness....really? My friends will go bananas! They adore you. Are you familiar with the Kardashians?" You inquired, your eyes twinkling. You're going to keep it a secret. "Thank you, Jimin; it's no surprise you're my bias wrecker."

"I think I heard of them. They have a show or something. Namjoon loves to watch American shows," Jimin smile." And thank you very much. You made our Kookie very happy. He considers you to be a wonderful mate." You merely provide a sweet smile. You have a fondness for their Kookie. Jimin wanted to see your house, so you showed him the penthouse right away. Until his gaze was drawn to the photo wall. Jimin's eyes widen when he sees your adorable baby photos and family photos on the fireplace. Blood was draining from his face because of what he saw in front of him. His eyes were wanting to sting.

"Who...w..who is this, er...Zen ?" He asked softly, attempting to keep his voice from trembling. It's not possible.

You walked and stood next to him, smiling warmly "Oh, it's my Aussie best friend, Ruby.She was 14 at the time, and I was 13 at the time, and she was an exchange student for a year. Her host family was us. We both auditioned for a Disney show and were both successful. She was a better dancer than I was. We were becoming well-known, but her mother refused to renew her contract for the second season, so she returned to Sydney." The blood drained from his face.

Jimins' eyes welled up as he gazed at the younger version of the girl he loves with all his heart. He would never forget about her. His heart was starting to tighten. How could Fate be so cruel in bestowing a soulmark on him? He was madly in love with her. What a coincidence to run into her friend here.

She told him that after the agony of her friends breakup, she and another friend went to South Africa with her, to help her heal.

Jimin smiles as he caresses his girl's face on the frame. She was such a gorgeous teenager.

"She's really beautiful," he exclaimed.

"Oh, she's better looking now," you grin. " She did, however, have some troubles with her boyfriend last year, who recently dumped her. But she apparently moved on, but she was hurt again by another guy...she became very ill and was hospitalized, and --"before she could continue, Jungkook called her from the kitchen to check their dishwasher.

Jimin furrowed his brows as he became irritated at Jungkook for diverting Your attention. What happened to her? What made her sick? Is she now healed? He stood there with one of her photo frames in his hand. He was missing her terribly. Fate was almost soothing him by allowing him to see her in a picture.

You let Jimin appreciate your adorable friend. Your friend was always a stunning girl, but she grew more withdrawn and sad after her heartbreak. That was your and Samatha's thoughts. You and Samatha thought she'd get over the hotel guy, but she hasn't. It's a shame Jimin is now soul marked. He and your friend would kick it off. Jimin, she claimed, was her bias.

You assist Jungkook with the dishes. You were the only one in the kitchen.

Jungkook gazed at you as you placed the last dish in the cupboard and some cutlery in the drawer, then smirked as he pressed you between his arms against the counter. As you locked eyes with each other, the atmosphere became fired up. Kookie is so hot, and it's a shame he's already taken.

"Zen, I genuinely miss you," he said tenderly. His gaze skims over your features.

You smiled as you looked into his large bunny eyes "I missed you as well. It's a shame that life happens." In the proximity of Kookie, your heart beats irregularly in your ribcage. As he wiped a curly piece of your hair behind your ear, he appeared dazed. The side of your neck began to sting, but you ignored it. Because being so close to your Kookie right now makes you feel alive. The feel of his fingertips against your flesh makes you tremble, and you can't take your gaze away.

There was a peculiar air around the two of you that you couldn't put your finger on, and without thinking, you snaked your arms softly around his waist as he cradled your face with both hands- slowly leaning in as you felt the feathery touch of Kookie's familiar lips gliding onto yours.

You both close your eyes momentarily and gently taste one other's soft lips. Although the kiss was light, you felt your body begin to heat as a result of his contact. Kookies' lips became relentless, and he deepened the kiss as his muscular arms tightened over your small shoulders, securely embracing you against his heart. As you began to passionately kiss one another in your kitchen, you felt as if you were drowning. Standing there kissing for over five minutes, oblivious to what is going on around you. You only know that you want to be in each other's arms. When you became aware of your environment, as you stare in admiration at each other. When you were in one another's arms, Lisa and Jimmy didn't even cross your mind.

"Wow... " Jungkook sighs, his lips swollen. Pulling your lips once more in a sweet kiss. You kissed him back without any restraint.

Yes, you smirk," wow." That was the most sensual kiss you ever shared with any guy. You can't believe you've found your way back into the arms of the most popular Bts member. There is no care for anyone. You realized that you and Kookie might have crossed the line. You unmarked and he was soul marked with a secret girlfriend and you were practically are on the verge of dating Jimmy again. What a mess! But you want to be so bad with Kookie, but you know it is impossible.

"Can we spend more time together...I don't want to say bye so soon. I'm not sure if I'll see you on Saturday. Please, Zen let's hang out...just you and me." You couldn't say no to those pleading, bunny eyes, so you nodded, still closely gripped in his arms when you heard a small cough in the doorway. With crimson faces, you both turn and swiftly let go of each other. Jimin smiled widely as he stood there with raised eyebrows. You bit your lips in embarrassment. Gosh, you hope the flirt didn't see your make-out session.

Jungkook sends you a nod as you respond. He had a wide grin on his face. He wishes to spend as much time as possible with you during his free time. He might never see you again this year.

"Excuse me quickly," he says, caressing your chin with his fingers, as he rushes out of the kitchen to speak with his security. They advise him to be cautious and summon them to pick him up. They have faith in his friend.

Jimin was well aware that what he had just witnessed without his makneas' knowledge was the intense make-out session that the two exes had just experienced, and he suspected that Kookie might still harbour unresolved feelings for his hot ex-girlfriend.

It was nearly 3 p.m. when the bodyguards left with Jimin. Vince asked you to call him if you needed an escort, but you told him you and Kookie were going to revisit all the places you explored almost six years ago.

You knew deep within your heart that you are not over your favourite Kookie...that kiss proves it once and for all...

a/n: Thank you so much for your constant support. You and Kookie seem to get reacquainted again.

A special thanks to all of the new readers and those who added the book to their reading list. Thank you very much.
