Wine Stain | Jeon Jungkook

Chapter 30

As soon as I wake up, I can feel Jungkook's body tangled up with mine: he is cuddling me from behind loosely, and his fingers are playing with my hair softly. I turn around slowly to face him, and he looks like he has been awake for some time, immediately staring back at me.

"Good morning, Ari-ah" he says with the warmest smile, still playing with my hair, making me stare at him confused for a couple of seconds.

"Mornin'" I yawn and he chuckles, and then I bury my face in his neck, ready to fall back to sleep again.

"Are you okay? Do you have a headache?" he asks me as his hands caress my body lovingly.

"No, for some reason, I'm fine." I reply back, my morning voice still evident, as I remove my head from his neck and face him normally this time.

"What do you remember from last night?" he asks me nervously, still holding me tightly.

What do I remember from last night? Other than Jin hugging a tequila bottle, the very loud music, and the countless shots Seojun and I had, not much. I do remember waking up at Jungkook's car at some point, and then looking at the stars in Han River while talking about something. Nothing more, though.

"I remember being in your car." I start off and he eyes me attentively, "Then I remember going to Han River. And then I remember looking at the stars there and talking for some time, but I have no idea what we talked about." I sigh, "What happened, though? I hope I wasn't too drunk, Did I say anything weird?" I finish off nervously.

"Oh, so you don't remember what happened in Han River." he says sounding a little bit disappointed.

"What...what happened?" I ask anxiously.

"Oh, nothing." he gives me a fake smile, "And don't worry about yesterday. You were pretty chill. Nothing weird happened, it was all very casual." he finishes off.

Why does he look as if he is lying? His fingers have stopped playing with my hair.

"Oh, okay then! Thank God." I give him a fake laugh and try to act as if everything is normal.

What the fuck happened in Han River yesterday?

"Oh, your phone has been ringing like crazy by the way. Some guy named Taehyung mostly. I think you might want to give him a call." he changes the topic of the conversation. handing me my phone from the bedside table.

Fuck, they must all be so worried.

"So, since this whole thing happened yesterday." Jungkook starts off, looking at me awkwardly and avoiding eye contact, "I was wondering if we could transfer your visit to tomorrow." he finishes off, looking at me now.

"Oh, yes. Of course." I reply, looking back at him awkwardly.

"The thing is that Hana is coming, so you can't come here." he says, now sounding even more awkward.

"We can go to a place I know though." he adds, purposefully avoiding eye contact yet again.

"Okay, you can text me the adress." I reply, still looking at him.

"Oh, no you don't have to. Actually, can I come to pick you up? I don't want to leave any traces, you know. It would be safer." he mumbles quickly, looking at the wall behind me and not me. Why is he acting so weird?

"Yes, okay." I reply shyly, now looking at the opposite wall too.

"Can I come over around 11 am?" he asks in the same tone as before.
