"Do you love her?"

Jungkook had always regarded a question like that with care and caution the way you would a baby. It wasn't that he was scared to say he was. It was more of a he was scared that he didn't know what love was and that he would simply be hurting someone by saying yes.

He looked at the woman who's head was nestled by the crook of his neck. Her eye were close and by her steady breathing he could tell she was asleep. He carefully put a strand of hair behind her ear.

Her name was Lourdes Mares. Jungkook could say without hesitation that whenever he was with her he was the happiest. His hands traced softly over her lips, and he recalled the way she would call out his name. Jungkook had no particular feelings about his name after all names were just names and he could definitely have it worse. Yet he found himself loving his name whenever she said it.

The first time she had said his name was when they were 13 years old. They didn't know each other at all. And yet when some of the older kids had begun insulting him and throwing the occasional punch she spoke up. While the others watched she had enough courage to stand up and say that they should back off. 

She had taken him to the nurse's office later and had refused to leave him alone. She had walked him home that day. And when they had reached his doorstep she had given him a smile so full of happiness and strength he could have melted. And then she said his name.

"I hope we can be friends, Jungkook."

Her voice had been so warm and soft like chocolate. And the way his name had sounded sent fast thumps through his heart. He had agreed to her request after all who could deny an angel like her?

Jungkook's hand softly traced over her eyes and he remembered how bright they were when opened. They weren't the bluest of eyes or green like an emerald. They were brown, and they were simple. And yet it was like she held a galaxy in her eyes. Whenever he saw them he felt like could get lost in them for hours.

He remembered the way her eyes shone, and remembered when he ad wished they would shine for him. They had been 17 then when he was deadset on getting her eyes to look at him and shine only for him. He had done everything he could and yet he could never get the right glow, the same sort of happiness she had with others.

At least that was until they day before one of his auditions. When he had found an injured bunny and decided to heal it all on his own while missing the audition. He remembered the way her brown eyes shone when he had shown her the bunny and what he had done to help it. And she had laughed and hugged him saying that he should've asked for help. She had given him a kiss on the cheek that day told him that she was sorry for him missing his audition knowing how much it meant to him.

And yet he hadn't cared because while that audition might have meant a lot. Looking into those brown embers and feeling at home, was all he need. Her happiness was all he needed.

Hoseok looked at Jungkook, "do you love her?" He repeated.

Jungkook looked fondly at the 20 year old woman and smiled softly.

"Yes, I do."
