Does He Really?

Chapter 12: A Night of Firsts

"Yeah. To just be perfect." I sighed happily. We stared at each other for a few seconds.

"I brought something." He grinned, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a little zip bag. It was too dark to see what was in it. "I bought it while you got ready. Open your mouth."

"Jungkook, what is it?" I stared at the object he held in his hand. I never ate anything unless I knew what it was.

"You've had it before." He laughed. "Open your mouth so I can feed you."

"Jagi..." I pouted cutely. He started getting it closer to my face so I started running away back into the statue and then back out as he chased me in circles. "Ah! Jeon Jungkook! Tell me!"

"Ani!" He pinned me against the doors to go back in and held the object in front of my face. "Be a good girl and let me feed you." He said it in such a condescending tone but I knew he was joking.

"Fine, eomma." I stuck out my tongue and opened my mouth. He pushed the food into my mouth and I immediately recognized it and started laughing, making me choke. He freaked out and backed up, having to do the Heimlich maneuver on me. I coughed out a single piece of caramel popcorn and looked down as Jungkook cracked up laughing. "Why didn't you just tell me what it was?" I was laughing too.

"I wanted to surprise you. Jin said you love caramel popcorn." Jungkook rubbed the back of his neck and smiled sheepishly. "But I nearly killed you by choking you with the popcorn. How about we eat this when we can see it?" He put the bag away in his pocket again.

We spent a good hour staring at New York and talking about anything we could think about. "Mikki, why were you so hesitant to say yes?" Jungkook asked seriously.

"I already told you. Your career and all the girls you're surrounded with and-"

"The real reason." He forced me to look at him. Even in the dim lighting, I could see his intense face.

"Fine. I've never dated anyone before. You're my first boyfriend. And every guy I've liked has always lead me on and then broken my heart. I was just nervous and scared." I confessed, avoiding his eyes. His forehead touched mine and my breath caught.

"I promise not to rush you. When you're ready to move forward to a new milestone, just do something to drop hints." He glanced at my lips. "Would that make you more comfortable?" I nodded mutely and he kissed my cheek. "It's getting late. Your brother's gonna kill me if you're late."

We finally decided to leave, taking the elevator back down. We held hands the whole walk back to the boat and on the boat, we cuddled in comfortable silence. I was curled up into his side, eyes shut as I thought about if I wanted to kiss him or not. I do want to kiss you but... Am I ready?

We got back into the car and Jungkook excitedly started feeding me the popcorn, talking to me like a baby. My face turned very very red. "Jungkook..." I whined. He laughed and kissed my cheek, eating some popcorn. I started feeding him and making the same voice. "Awe. The golden maknae is so cute. Look at that baby face!" I cooed and he stuck out his tongue playfully. I kissed his nose. We spent a good while arguing like little kids in the back.

"Agh! I'm not a kid, Kim Mikya!" He pouted. "You're the kid!"

"We're the same age!" I argued, poking his chest to emphasize my words.

"Oh yeah?! Well, I'm two months older!" He countered childishly. I stuck out my tongue and he pinched my nose. We stared at each other for a few seconds in silence before I did my aegyo for him. "Agh! So cute! See?! You're the adorable little kid!"

We finally got to the hotel and we were ushered directly to the elevator and up to our floor. He walked me to my door after our chaperone left. "Well tonight has been fun." I bit my lip and stared at his mouth. Kiss me, Jungkook.

"Yeah, it has." He had me cornered against the door, his arm covering the peep hole as he hovered over me. I could feel my heart pounding. "I guess this is goodnight?"

"Yeah..." I continued to look at his lips before meeting his eyes and looking back at his mouth. "I guess..."

"I'll see you in the morning?" He leaned his forehead to mine and I tilted my head up ever so slightly.

"You will." I slowly started closing my eyes as his nose touched mine. His fingers held my chin and his free hand was on my side. Is-Is he really...? Is this happening for real?!

His lips slowly pressed against mine and they were moving so gently and they were so soft. I blushed as I finally got a grip on myself, kissing back. It felt like electricity coursed through my veins. I wanted to fly and scream and faint and never pull away for air. He pulled me closer as both his hands rested on my sides. He pulled away slowly, torturing me. His lips left mine with a soft smooching sound. I wanted to scream and melt and hug him but I had to keep my cool. "I told you it was a night of firsts." He gave a tender smile. "Our first kiss." I grinned widely and stood on my tiptoes, kissing him again, already addicted to his lips.

Suddenly I felt us falling backwards and our lips detached. I squeaked and we fell to the ground with Jungkook on top of me and all of Bangtan staring at us in shock.
