A Mutually-Assured Attachment ✔️

Part 23

You turn your face to him and smile in a friendly manner. "I did too," you admit. "Better stop bothering me after this." Glaring playfully, you pass a tint of eye roll as well.

Jungkook chuckled, pulling you even closer as it was time to cross the street. You dash for your car, checking to your right and left to make sure no cars are approaching. Jungkook immediately unlocks the car and holds the door open for you while maintaining his gentleman demeanor.

Just as you were ready to take a seat, you noticed someone you hadn't seen since high school standing behind Jungkook, who was holding the door for you like a gentleman. Your eyes enlarge and your mouth opens in astonishment, yet your face is lit up with a huge smile. "Oh my god!" You squeal.

Jungkook frowns, perplexed by your actions. "Yong!" You squeal again and run up to that man named Yong who happens to be your best friend that once used to be your crush, completely forgetting about Jungkook and heading home as it was getting late, nine-thirty at night currently.

Yong, who was ready to enter the club, turned around when he heard his name called by a familiar voice. His eyes glowed brightly, and an amused laugh escaped his lips, his body sprinting up to you as well. "Y/N!!" He waved and ran up to you.

While squealing, you collide and embrace each other. Yong lifts you up and spins you around in a tight embrace due to his excitement.

Jungkook tightened his teeth and dashed towards you, grabbing you from the embrace. He grips your shoulder and pulls you around to face him. "What are you doing?" He sounded enraged, and his tone indicated that he was suppressing his rage. "It's getting late, you gotta go home." He took your wrist and began dragging you, but you snatched it back.

"I want to go to Yong," You scowl at him, demonstrating that he has no authority to stop you. You roll your eyes and say, "It's not that late anyway. Come on, Yong, let's go." Jungkook is stunned when you take Yong's hand and drag him to the club.

"Y/N, Y/N! Listen to me," Jungkook tries to snatch the drink from your hand but you move back and quickly consume it. "You're gonna kill yourself! What are you doing?!" He finally shouted as the loud music irritated him and you weren't listening to what he was saying.

Jungkook stumbles a little when Yong drags him away by his shoulder, but he immediately regains his composure. Yong grabs your waist and pulls you closer to him, snagging two drinks from the counter in the process. He gives you one and keeps the other for himself. "Cheers, best friend!" He chuckled drunkenly and clingged the drinks before you both consumed it down.

Jungkook grabs Yong by the collar and pushes him against the counter, enraged by his misbehavior not only with him but also with you. "You fucking inadequate dick!" He growled and seized Yong's collar even tighter. "Do you realize you're going to kill her?!" He continues to snarl, suffocating Yong with his grip.

You notice, and with a few stumbles owing to your fish eye vision, you approach Jungkook from behind and tug on his arm, prompting him to turn to you. "Don't hurt Yong! He's my best friend!" You cry out drunkenly and take another shot of alcohol to which Jungkook sighs with exhaustion.

It was eleven forty in the evening, and you'd been at this club for an hour and a half. Jungkook tried to get you out, but you were defiant and continued to drink, which worried him about your health. "Princess, please," Jungkook groans as he grabs your arms. He lowers himself to your height and meets you in the eyes, his gaze softening. "Let's go home okay?" He whispers and tucks a few strands of your hair behind your ear that had slipped out of your hair clip.

"No no no!" You whine like a child and slap his arms away from you. He frowns, completely irritated by your infantile antics. It enraged him more than Yong's actions. "I wanna stay! I'm gonna stay, let go!" You step backwards, almost tripping and falling flat on your back, but Jungkook catches you. As he holds you, you let out a hiccup.
