It's You | Rosekook

XIV. In Between The Strings

Jungkook massaged his temple, he couldn't believe he had to encounter this kind of situation tonight.

He saw a taxi passed by and stopped it immediately. He approached the driver telling him to take Jin Young and Yuju to their place and give him the money to pay for their trip. "Hey, both of you, get in." He commanded as he opened the door for them.

Both Jin Young and Yuju were just standing there. Astonished by the fact that Jungkook really stopped a cab for them.

"W-wait--" Jin Young was about to say something, but Jungkook was ready to shove them inside the cab.

"Yah! What are you doing?" Yuju muttered.

Jungkook sighed, rolling his eyes as he finally get them inside the cab. "I'm helping you two to get home. Can I get a thank you?" He then closed the taxi door.

Chaeyoung stared as the taxi left with her friends in it. She turned herself to Jungkook who was now standing in front of her.

"And you," He gave her a stern look. "You're coming with me." He took her hand again, and this time she let go of it.

"No! I don't want to."

"Chaeyoung." He raised his voice to her.

"I can't go with you." He could heard her sniffled. "If I do, it will be even harder for me to let go." Tears escape her eyes.

Jungkook knew she was drunk, and this was probably just the aftermath. But, seeing her crying like this, in front of him, was only made himself hurt.

"I have to let you go, even if I didn't want to. I really didn't want to." She whined and cried.

Jungkook took a deep breath. He couldn't say a word. The thing he knew for sure was he had to take her home.

So, he did. He forcefully scooped her up on his shoulder. Earning a gasp from Chaeyoung who abruptly stopped her crying.

"Yahh, are you not listening? I don't want you to take me home!" She hit his back countless time. But he just ignored it and brought her to his car.

On the drive back to her place they didn't talked at all. Jungkook was focused on the road, and Chaeyoung did too. Sometimes, Jungkook steal a glance at her, making sure if she still crying or not.

When they finally reached her place, Jungkook turned his head to find Chaeyoung was peacefully sound asleep. His expression softened when he saw her sleeping face.

He carried her, bridal style, upstairs to her room. Thank God, he knew where she put her key. He carefully kicked the door after opening it. He brought them in and inside her bedroom where he gently laid her body on the mattress.

Then, he pulled up the blanket to cover her body.

He stared at her beautiful face for a while. Even when she was heavily drunk, she still look so angelic.

He leaned down and studied every inch of her sleeping face. Her eyes, her nose, and her lips--the one he can get enough of--was perfect. Every single thing of her is.

Jungkook brought his face closer to hers. He could sense a hint of alcohol from her. He wasn't sure of what he was about to do, but bigger part of him just couldn't stand it.

"Oh, God, I must be crazy." He murmured, before he landed a soft delicate kiss on her sweet lips. It has been a long time, but the taste of her lips was still the one who made him crazy.

After a while, he stood up and cleared his throat, before he turned around to leave her place.
