{73} Closer

"Fine," He gave in, scoffing dissatisfiedly and I smiled in triumph. "But, only for an hour, and that's it."

...

"But is only just late in the morning..." I tried to protest and he gave me a look that I shouldn't try. I acquiesce wordlessly, pressing my lips firmly together. "Fine, but only if you put a shirt on."

He nodded in agreement, smiling jubilantly. Welp... at least is a win-win.

Lifting my hand up, I passed it around his neck and press a hand firmly on the nape of his neck. I slowly push his head down, to lock his thin lips with mine in a delicate motion while stroking his hair lightly.

11:47am

I couldn't help myself but stare at the time constantly as though I was waiting for something. In general, I was... I was waiting for an hour to pass so I can have fun with Kookie. At the same time, I also find myself being able to focus on the riddle, and I swear I'm close to getting the answer. But not yet.

I look over my shoulder to glance over at Jungkook, who was sitting on his bed. He was scrolling through his phone, staring at the screen intensely as though he was reading something interesting.

Three minutes till an hour... wonder what I should do before.

Turning back to my laptop, I wanted to watch some YouTube videos but if Jungkook had caught me procrastinating, he would probably throw my laptop out of the balcony for wasting time.

Actually, I think I exaggerated. But anyways, I'll just continue with the riddle.

Placing my hands on the keyboards, I decided to type a question. How do you solve riddles? Enter.

Scrolling down the google search, I notice that 'wikiHow' is able to answer my question so I decided to press on that. 'wikiHow' is very epic and they give you many creative suggestions. I recommend you going there if you're stuck with something, just like I'm stuck with solving riddles.

Browsing through the website, I squint my eyes to read the article.

Number one, know the basic types of riddles. Yeah, that's quite obvious-

Number two, understand the rule of the riddle. The rule of riddle fries your brain.

Number three, know that riddles may try to trick you. Wait, this is actually pretty useful as me and Namjoon might be getting finessed this whole time. Because who knows? The answer might be just sitting there, and that we're just blind.

Number four, solve puzzles daily...

Okay, with all due respect, that's for nerds. I get that I may spend a hell lot of time memorising maths formulas and that I study a hell lot since I'm only sixteen and already a university student, but here's the thing. I don't exactly study everyday, I'm a living procrastinator. I watch lots of K-dramas, C-dramas, Anime... just like any other teen does.

Going through puzzles can be such a drag though, is so annoying. Anyways, moving on...

Number five, alternate your brain games regularly.

Hm. What if you don't have a brain? I don't think I have one. Is completely non-existent.

Number six, try reading and then summarising something complex.

Okay, but like, no thank you. I hate summarising, especially if is something complex. I had spent many days memorising and summarising that it-

My laptop cover suddenly slammed down, shaking me awake as I came back to reality from my rants in my head. Looking up in confusion, a pair of strong arms were wrapped around my waist and there was a fury of movements. I was suddenly lifted up from my bed and was in the air but within a few short seconds, I was dump onto Jungkook's bed.

Quickly sitting up, Jungkook places his arms around me and I decided to follow his movement as he drags me onto his lap. Wrapping my legs around his waist, he hugs me tightly as though he was scared I was going to leave him. He pecks me with his thin lips while stroking my back.

"You surprise me," I stated, pushing my hair back as I glance over to my laptop, wondering if is okay.

"Baby girl, what were you so fixed on that you didn't notice me coming?" He asked curiously and I blushed at the pet name.

"It wasn't anything interesting... just some article that might help me with the riddle, you know?"

"Oh, alright. Just don't stress out about it too much. I'm sure you and Namjoon will solve it eventually," Jungkook reassured me and I nodded in agreement. I had 85% of confidence that both of us were going to succeed, but I don't know where the 15% had go.

"Can you touch me?" He suddenly asked and I raise my eyebrows in confusion, unsure of how to act. I didn't get what he meant, as I was already touching him. Maybe he wanted something?

I decided to flatten my hands on each of his cheek while staring into those beautiful doe eyes. A smile appeared on his face as he chuckled amusedly.

"You could touch me anywhere, and you chose my face?" He said, as though he was finding my decision special.

"I've wanted to hold your face for a while. Especially when you seem unhappy. I don't see you smile sincerely very much these days... so I often worry that you might not be happy," I said truthfully, scrutinizing each of his features very closely.

"Y/N, you misunderstood. Whenever I'm with you, only happiness and love exist in my category," He gave me a genuine smile and I chew on my lip.

"What I meant is, I notice you haven't been smiling a lot when we're with the others. You're much more serious and... well you're just not completely yourself and I get worried," I elucidated and he nodded thoughtfully.

"You're so sweet Y/N. Thank you for noticing... I've just been really stressed lately," He mumbled, as those smiling eyes became a bit sentimental.

"Is it because of the Taehyung situation?" I guessed and he nodded slowly, pouting at me. Drifting a hand to his soft, wavy hair, I stroke it slowly to reassure him. "Don't worry, I believe we can succeed. Don't give up okay?"

He nodded, beaming at me proudly. "Anyways... don't worry about me. Just remember, if you're here with me, is enough to make me happy."

I gave him a soft peck on the cheek before we hugged each other, as though we were the closest in the world, like two peas in a pod.
