No Strings Attached (Jungkook x OC)

Part 5: Letting Go

He handed her the gloves and she quickly turned her face away from him because she was definitely starting to heat up.

"Do you remember that time where we used to chase each other around the house when we were little?" Jungkook suddenly asked and Seoyeon nodded her head.

"You were incredibly fast, I should say." She chuckled, pouring her ingredients into the bowl.

He walked over towards her, his arm second-mindedly wrapping around her waist. She felt herself stiffen at his touch, continuing her own work. "What are you making?"

"Red velvet cupcakes, my specialty." She smiled, and he looked at her, finding the moment stop yet again. "Do you like red velvet cupcakes?"

She looked at Jungkook, who was staring right into her eyes. She felt herself blush even harder. He didn't answer her, he was almost as if he was in a trance. He was getting lost in her eyes and she couldn't help but get lost in his as well.

She cleared her throat, "I asked you a question, Jungkook."

"Y-Yes?" He replied in almost like a question and she burst out into laughter. "W-What?"

"I asked you if you like red velvet cupcakes." She giggled, "you clearly didn't understand what my question was."

"I love red velvet cupcakes, actually." He started, only to frown, "just like how Haeun used to make them."

Seoyeon frowned, sighing on the inside as she looked back at her bowl filled with batter. Stirring the ingredients together, she couldn't help but feel her mood slowly be killed just because of Haeun. "Everything I do just always have to do with Haeun.."

"What?" He asked as she looked up at him, shaking her head.

"Nothing." She smiled sadly, turning back to her bowl to continue stirring.

"Let me take a picture of these cupcakes." He insisted as he pulled out his camera to take some pictures of the finishing product of her special red velvet cupcakes.

She sighed, letting out a huge yawn as she shoved one into her mouth. He chuckled at how adorable she looked when she was sleepily eating. One eye was shut while the other was lazily open. She munched on her red velvet cupcakes, grabbing her glass of milk and chugging it down.

"I'm so tired." She mumbled softly and he went ahead and continued taking pictures of the cupcakes.

He placed the viewfinder towards his right eye, taking a close up picture of the cupcakes. Taking a few more pictures, he grabbed one of the cupcakes and started to eat. He found himself moaning at how delicious they tasted.

"You know these cupcakes actually taste so delicious-" He stopped and looked at the girl who was fast asleep.

Her arm protected her cheek from getting uncomfortable from the feeling of the wooden table. Her other hand was wrapped around her glass of milk. There was a bit of icing on the tip of her nose.

He grabbed his camera and walked over towards her, he brought the camera up to his eye and took a picture. Taking a look at the picture, he found himself smiling again.

"Why do you always make me smile?" He whispered, turning off his camera.

He ran upstairs and searched for a soft blanket to wrap around her. Coming back downstairs, he wrapped his iron man blanket around her and took her hand away from the glass of milk.

He leaned forehead and kissed her forehead, "sleep tight."

Little did he know that he was falling in love with her too.
