Yours

chapter thirteen: your chef

"But how can my purse be there at the bedside in the morning?", Chaeyoung asked.

"I took it from my car that morning. I'm sorry I didn't take it that night. It was quite a tiring night.", he replied.

Chaeyoung nodded, "I see...oh, one more question. The room...I was in, that's your bedroom, is it?"

Jungkook slowly nodded.

"Why didn't you leave me in the guest room?", she continued asking.

"Because I thought it'd be easier for you in case you wake up and need to use the bathroom.", he answered.

Chaeyoung nodded once again. She realized that he had thought further to take care of her. She was mistaken to think that he probably had taken advantage of her that night.

"Is everything clear now for you?", he asked carefully.

"Ye- yeah. It's your turn. What were you going to say earlier?", she replied, trying to put the negative thought about him away.

Jungkook nodded before clearing his throat, "I...want to apologise again for what Bam did that morning. I know it's embarrassing-"

Chaeyoung put up her hands to stop him, "Can we...not talk about it again? Please..."

He was hesitant to nod to it, "I know I've texted you many times about it, but I don't feel right..."

"Jungkook, it's okay. I forgot it already. Just don't...remind me of it again, please...", she begged him, hoping that he would believe she had forgotten that incident.

"But I feel guilty..I feel like I'm the reason you got sick this long..."

Chaeyoung shook her head repeatedly, "No, it's not your fault. Trust me."

Jungkook looked at her carefully, "If you say so, then..okay."

"Okay, we're good now.", she replied, making sure that they would not bring up the incident again. "Um, I think I should go. I need to rest, I'm still feverish.", she tried to change the topic with him.

He looked at her and agreed, "Me too. I have to feed Bam."

Chaeyoung nodded as she opened her door, "Right, you do that. I'll see you later."

"See you and Chaeyoung?"

"Yeah."

"Get well soon."

She smiled at him, "Thanks."

After she disappeared into her apartment, Jungkook entered his apartment while talking to himself.

"She looks so flushed. I should make her some herbal soup."

♡♡♡

Chaeyoung took her time to embrace the aroma that filled her nose before smiling widely at the progress of her health. She had been losing her sense of smell since she got the fever, and tonight, she finally could smell an earthy and comforting scent of the herbal chicken soup.

"This is going to be delicious.", she clapped her hands as she picked up the spoon to eat.

With a cheeky smile, she slowly tasted a spoonful of the soup while humming happily.

"Mhm, so good! Everything Jungkook cooked is good.", her shoulders shook excitedly as she ate the food Jungkook gave her for dinner.

He said it was good for treating fever, she believed him, of course.

"Whoa, what did he put in this? I feel suddenly energized.", she said as she was washing the dishes after finishing her dinner.

After that, she went back to the living room to watch the television, but nothing caught her attention on the screen. She sighed as she put down the controller, giving up on turning the channels, but nothing was interesting to watch.
