THE SECOND CHANCE || JJK ff

CHAPTER 28

AUTHOR POV

It had been two days since Y/N and Jungkook's encounter, and an awkward atmosphere hung between them. Y/N found herself blushing whenever Jungkook called her, quickly completing any tasks he assigned before retreating from his presence.

Despite this, she noticed that Jungkook's behavior remained unchanged. He spoke to her in his usual direct and clear manner, while Y/N found herself stuttering and stumbling over her words whenever she interacted with him.

Surprisingly, Jungkook appeared unfazed by Y/N's nervousness. He didn't seem to pay much attention to her stuttering, which both relieved and puzzled her. Y/N was grateful that he didn't mention the incidents that had occurred in the office, but she couldn't help but notice that he seemed to be spending more time at home rather than at work during these two days.

This observation sparked curiosity within Y/N. She wondered why Jungkook had altered his routine and if it had anything to do with their recent encounter.

Usually, Jungkook would leave for work early in the morning and return home late in the evening. However, since Y/N's visit to his office, he had taken a half-day off the following day and then a full day off yesterday.

Today, he informed Y/N that he would be home by 3 p.m. This change in Jungkook's behavior puzzled Y/N, as he had always been a dedicated and workaholic individual throughout their two years of marriage.

Lost in her thoughts about Jungkook, Y/N's attention was drawn to her ringing phone. Glancing at the screen, she saw that it was Taehyung calling.

Y/N picked up her phone and answered the call, curious about what he wanted to discuss. Taehyung's voice came through the phone, sounding casual and relaxed as he asked about her day.

"Hey, Y/N! How's your day been?" Taehyung inquired in a friendly tone, his voice filled with genuine interest.

For a moment, Y/N furrowed her brows at his question. Taehyung usually asked about her day when he had been spending a lot of time outside of the country or days after he missed her and It was unusual for him to show such concern when he just left the house a day ago.

Curiosity piqued, Y/N hesitated before responding, "It's been... interesting, Taehyung. Why do you ask?"

There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before Taehyung replied, his voice tinged with a hint of alertness, "Oh, no reason, just wanted to catch up and see how you're doing."

"So did you have your breakfast?"

"Yes, I did," Y/N replied, her tone slightly puzzled by the unexpected question.

"Umm, is the house chores done?" There was a brief silence on the line, causing Taehyung to double-check if the call was still connected. "Bear," he added, using his affectionate nickname for her.

Y/N sensed a shift in Taehyung's tone, his concern palpable. She paused for a moment, trying to understand the reason behind his questions. Sensing something deeper, she asked, "Are you fine, Taehyung? Is there something you wanted to speak about?"

Unbeknownst to Y/N, Taehyung had been growing increasingly concerned about her being alone with Jungkook. He had warned his brother not to do anything funny with her, that could potentially disturb y/n's mind, but recently, Taehyung had discovered that Jungkook had been staying home for the past two days.

"Ahm y/n, I called you to ask something, please be honest with me," Taehyung's serious tone sent shivers down Y/N's spine. She replied hesitantly, giving a faint yes.

"Are you perhaps hiding something from me, Y/N? If you are, please do tell me. I'm asking because something in me is telling me that you're up to hiding something," Taehyung questioned, his concern evident in his voice. And he struggled to receive about any mischief Jungkook had done to her.

Y/N couldn't help but feel a mix of confusion and frustration. " What are you talking about? I'm not hiding anything, and if I were, you would be the first person to know. Do you think I would lie to you?" she responded, her voice tinged with a hint of exasperation.

Taehyung acknowledged Y/N's words, but his uncertainty remained. "I know, bear, you've always been true to me. But I don't know, something just feels off," he admitted, his voice filled with a mix of worry and confusion.

Y/N couldn't help but let out a small chuckle. "I know why you feel that way. It's probably just your overprotective brotherly sense kicking in," she teased, trying to lighten the mood. Her comment earned a chuckle from Taehyung, but the conversation took a serious turn once again.

"Oh, you're well grown up to tease me back, Y/n. Anyway, I have work to continue. I'll call you later. Bye, bear," Taehyung said, preparing to end the call. But before Y/N could hang up, he spoke again.

"And also, tell me if Jungkook does force you into anything you don't like," he added, his words hanging in the air. With that, he abruptly ended the call, leaving Y/N feeling puzzled and concerned.

Y/N couldn't help but wonder what had happened to Taehyung. He seemed to be behaving strangely, much like Jungkook.

She couldn't shake off the feeling that something had transpired between the two of them, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. With a sense of unease, she pondered over Taehyung's words and hoped that everything would eventually become clear.

Her mind went to Jungkook, Recalling the kiss with him, Y/N couldn't help but feel like it was a dream. Sharing a kiss with him, and in his workplace no less, was something she never expected.

Her fantasies had always revolved around a romantic setting, like under a palm tree by the sea, where the sunset and moon would grace the sky simultaneously.

The inspiration for this dreamy scenario came to her when she was just twelve years old. Mrs. Jeon, Jungkook's mother, had read a story to her that described a kiss in the exact way Y/N had always imagined. It had left a lasting impression on her, and now, experiencing her kisses with Jungkook, she couldn't help but draw parallels to that childhood fantasy.

"Would I get to share more kisses with him?" As Y/N thought about it, a mix of emotions washed over her. There was a sense of excitement, tinged with a hint of wonder and anticipation.

The memory of their lips meeting, the rush of emotions that had coursed through her, it all made her heart flutter.

A smile crept onto Y/N's lips as she allowed herself to indulge in the moment. The thought of sharing more kisses with Jungkook filled her with a warm and comforting feeling. It was a mixture of joy, affection, and a growing connection that made her heart skip a beat.

Lost in her thoughts, she couldn't help but smile to herself. The possibility of experiencing more intimate moments with Jungkook brought a sense of happiness and contentment.
