Jungkook
when he is staying over for the first time
Jungkook and you were acquaintances. You went to the same university and knew each other from some courses and lectures. This semester you were taking a lot of courses together so that you saw each other more regularly. Without really realizing it, you developed a crush on him. You could tell that he was also quite shy but when he was with his friend, you saw a side of him that you adored very much. He had a bubbly personality and was very funny. It seemed as if he could make anyone laugh. You never got to properly talk to him because you were too shy to approach him, so you basically admired him from afar.
When your professor teamed you up with him to work on a project, you couldn't believe your ears. Glancing over at him, your eyes met with his. He gave you a small smile before he quickly adverted his gaze. After class, you exchanged numbers and agreed to meet at your dorm over the weekend.
The week felt like it would never end. You were so nervous about him coming over to yours, overthinking the situation and making up worst case scenarios in your head. When the day arrived, you cleaned up your entire space to make sure he wouldn't get a bad impression of you. Truth was, you were very chaotic and messy. You barely had any space in your dorm. Apart from a bed and small desk there was not much in your tiny dorm room.
You were in your sweats and a hoodie, as you waited for him. Of course, you could have dressed up, but that would be inappropriate since you only were going to do uni work and you certainly didn't want him to think you were trying too hard. Actually you didn't want him to think that you were trying anything at all.
When he knocked on your door, you felt your palms get sweaty. Fixing your hair one last time, you opened the door.
"Hey (Y/N)" he said.
"Hey," you greeted him, opening the door wider "Come in."
Jungkook stepped into your room and looked around. You had some childhood pictures and Polaroids with your friends hung up on your wall.
"You have a nice room" he commented, eyes lingering on the pictures for a while.
"Thanks" you sheepishly replied, as you sat down on the floor where you had spread out all of your materials. He sat down opposite to you and began to unpack his books. To kill the awkward silence you started to talk about the project. You guys worked really well together and got a good amount of work done. It was less awkward now, but you still couldn't look eye to eye as the both of you were shy.
Your concentration was slipping and you could tell it was time for a break. Pushing your laptop aside you glanced at Jungkook, who was currently reading something.
"Would you like something to eat ? I could order some food, or we could have ramen" you offered and Jungkook's eyes sparkled at the mention of food.
"Ramen is good" he said and helped you prepare it even though it really wasn't that hard to cook ramen. You could tell he was trying to be nice and was as clueless on how to act as you. As you both reached for the hot sauce, your hands touched and the both of you instinctively pulled your hands away, blushing furiously.
"You take it first" he then said, avoiding your eyes.
"Thanks" you mumbled, feeling extremely uncomfortable knowing your face was flushed red. As you ate you began to talk about random things and Jungkook seemed to have relaxed quite enough to start cracking jokes you only heard him tell his friends. You laughed a lot together and you loved spending time with him like this. When he suddenly reached out to you, wiping something away at the corner of your mouth with his thumb. The act was so casual yet had your breath caught in your throat. Jungkook didn't seem to have realized what he had done until he saw your surprised expression. That's when he too flushed red.
"Uhh, you had- you had hot sauce on your mouth. I just- just wanted to..." he gulped, not knowing what to say. You chuckled softly.
"It's okay, thank you" you told him, wanting him to feel better. He smiled cutely at you as he saw you smile at him. He thought you were very beautiful, and he couldn't deny the way you made him feel. Around you, he got even more shy than usual.
You continued to work on your project, the atmosphere now much more relaxed and comfortable. It was almost midnight when you stopped to work, realizing that it was getting really late. As you looked out the window, you saw that it was pouring.
"I should get going-" Jungkook began but stopped when loud thunder could be heard.
"It's really late and there's a storm outside" you told him, "You can stay here if you like."
You had no idea what came over you to offer such thing. You didn't even have a couch he could sleep on. But you couldn't take back what you said.
"Really ?" he asked, as if he was contemplating on actually staying over.
"Yeah" you said, feeling your anxiety kick in.
"That would actually be very nice because I am not sure whether I would be able to catch a train. I hadn't expected to stay this long" he explained. "I can sleep on the floor" he said, when his eyes drifted to your single bed.
"No" you blurted and blushed furiously, realizing what you just had said. "I mean no- no because I don't have anything you could sleep on, like a duvet or something-"
"It's fine really-" he reassured.
"We can just put a pillow between us" you suggested in a small voice. Jungkook's face was as red as a tomato, but he actually nodded his head in agreement.
After you guys put away your books, you crawled into bed. You shifted close to the wall, trying to leave as much space as possible for him. Jungkook placed a pillow between the two of you and laid down on the other side of the bed. None of you talked. You just silently listened to the storm outside. It didn't take you too long until you fell sound asleep. Jungkook glanced at you and when he saw your sleeping figure, he turned on his side so that he was facing you. He watched your peaceful face and listened to your soft breathing until he also fell asleep. During the night, the pillow between the both of you was pushed away and you ended up in his arms, your head rested against his chest.
