No Strings Attached (Jungkook x OC)

Part 9: Can I Kiss You?

"Nothing," she flashes him a smile as he purses his lips into a line. "How did you start her engine? Like did you flip her off or something?"

He shook his head, "I just simply told her that I'm in love with someone else, and that it's not her."

"Mm," she nodded her head as she takes a sip from her cup. "How did she take it?"

"She flipped out, she got pretty touchy, I might say." He shrugs his shoulders as she raised an eyebrow. "But trust me, I'm in love with someone else.. I didn't let her do anything too much."

"Did she kiss you?" She mumbled as he looks at her with a teasing smile. "What?"

"Would it matter if she did?" Her eyes slightly widened along with her mouth slightly parting open. "What if she did kiss me? Would you care about it?"

"Well.. yeah, of course. You told me that you didn't love her anymore.. so.." She trailed off, looking away from his intense stare as he grins. "I'm just looking out for you."

"She kissed me, Seoyeon." He saw her slightly frown and he grinned even more.

"S-She did?" She stuttered as he nodded his head.

"In her dreams," he chuckled as Seoyeon looked at him with a blank expression. "Did you really think that she would kiss me?"

"Of course! I mean, she told me that she was still in love with him and more bullshit.." She whispered.

"These lips are only meant for one person, and her only." He makes sure that she's looking at him intently.

A pregnant silence fills the air as the two of them stare at each other, not feeling shy to do so. He found himself slowly leaning in and closing the gap. She was watching him lean closer towards her, her heartbeat starting to pick up its pace. If only she knew that his heartbeat was just as fast as hers.

"Would you mind if I kissed you?" He whispered, as she felt herself begin to get lost in his beautiful orbs.

"I—well—" She was at a loss for words as he was almost an inch away from her plump lips.

"Can I?" He whispered. "Can I kiss you?"

She bit her lip, trying to hide a smile at how shy he was that he had to ask her for permission. She slowly nodded her head, whispering, "go ahead."

Without hesitation, he crushes his lips onto hers, wrapping his arms around her waist as she pulls him closer with her arms around his neck. The kiss was full of passion, almost like a kiss of hunger, something that expressed how much they love each other and was desiring to show that love.. physically.

Ever since they met again, after a year, their encounters only consisted of admiring each other from afar, hesitating to approach one another, and being extremely shy to make the first move.

But it was funny how one kiss could mean millions and millions of things. From love to desire, and from care to just showing how much you miss someone, a kiss could express ten billion things at the same exact time.

He pulls away from the kiss first, almost enough that their foreheads are still touching. The two of them are breathless from the intense and passionate kiss that took their breaths away.

If only they could read each other's minds.

If only they could feel what they both felt for each other at this very moment.

If only they could both just confess right then and there.

But something didn't feel right. And Jungkook knew it.
