Through Her Eyes ✔

70. SCENT

The feeling is so foreign and he doesn't know what to do but suppress it with the fear of overwhelming their Daun. As time passes by, it's becoming difficult to control. He doesn't want to be such a creep so he seldom approaches her alone, especially nowadays. He had becoming unhinged, and he does not trust himself with her alone anymore.

He crunches his nose as the scent on the air intensifies. He couldn't help but stand and steps on the stairs down the pavilion. He searches for its source and of course, it is from Daun. He doesn't know, yet never bothering to question, how he could even smell her with their distance. He is far away from her. An entire field is even in between the two of them. The expanse doesn't even deter the emotion swelling in his heart as he observes her.

She is currently standing outside by the glass windows of the indoor pool. She looks worried or something. Her neck has stretched as she looks around, seemingly searching for something or someone.

He smiles. She looks so adorably big with how huge the padded jacket she's wearing. After a while, he can see her leaning over as she squints on his direction. He can feel his heart skips with how her lips slowly curve into a huge gummy smile. Even with the distance, he sure can make out her delectable dimples on her cheeks.

"Kookie-oppah!" She calls as she waves her hands towards him.

He charmingly laughs. The usual giddiness with just the sight of her swells over and he couldn't help but smile wide and wave his hands, mirroring hers.

"What are you doing there? Can I come?" She shouts the inquiry.

'Wait... It is only me here... What to do?' He panics, but before he could respond with a "No", she had already run back inside. Not a minute later, she exits at the backdoor with her winter boots and a white beanie on her head. She then comes running towards his location.

Jungkook's heart melts with the way she shuffles with a beaming smile, as if excited to have finally seen him. It reminds him of his Yoongi hyung's excited walk after a photo shoot. Maybe she finds it difficult to walk with that ridiculously huge yellow padded jacket. Perhaps it's heavy and is affecting the way she is walking. His eyes crinkles at its sides as they follow her every step. She sometimes hops from a stone walkway to the other, avoiding the grassy part in between them.

"Careful!" He murmurs nervously when she almost loose her balance. 'Damn with that pathway.' He almost curses with his fear of her fall. He doesn't want her to hurt herself.

As she is in the few last stones, Jungkook couldn't help but open his arms, welcoming, celebrating her great attempt of trailing the path. Happily, she skips the last stone and rans towards his embrace.

"Hahaha... that was fun." She squeals on his chest.

"You don't have to come here you know. It's still cold." He comments, trying hard not to show how her warmth increases his stiffening problem. Not with how her scent had slapped his nose, full force, blazing the fire within his system.

"It's okay. I am all dressed for the weather." She pushes herself off from his arms and twirls once for him, showing off her outfit.

"Where did you get that jacket?" His nose crinkles as if in disapproval.

"Where else?" She laughs as she notices his face of distaste to the outfit. "I know... it's too big. Jinnie-oppah is kind of paranoid with my clothes. Don't even know how he got this." She adds.

"And...It's yellow." He murmurs.

"Huh? But I love yellow." She sweetly smiles, seemingly happy with the eldest's gift.

"You look like a huge caterpillar." He thoughtlessly critics.

"How rude!" She immediately squints while pouting, looking dejected with his observation.
