BEHIND THE SCENES

chapter 113: butterflies

"Ya-" Jieun gasped as her hand flew over her mouth in surprise. "What was that for...?"

"Pinky promise, sealed with a kiss, haven't you heard?" Jungkook grinned as he leaned back in his seat, avoiding Jieun's eyes and biting his lower lip. "I thought that's what you wanted."

"Ya, that really wasn't what I meant-"

"Oh, it wasn't?" Jungkook glanced at Jieun and wriggled his eyebrows. "In that case, I'll return it to you."

Jungkook grabbed Jieun's hand and moved it out of the way, before planting another peck on Jieun's lips.

Jieun was blushing and extremely flustered at this point. "Ya! Jeon Jungkook, you- you-"

Jungkook couldn't wipe the smug grin from his face. "Why are you acting so surprised? It's not like we haven't done it before-"

"It's embarrassing-" Jieun covered her face, as she blushed furiously. "Back then at my house, and even now... it makes my heart beat like, I don't know - a million times per second? And I hate to admit it... but that day, that kiss... that was my first kiss."

"Oh, what a coincidence-" Jungkook's finger fiddled with his lips mindlessly. "That was my first kiss too."

"Liar-" Jieun narrowed her eyes and glared at Jungkook. "You're obviously so good at it, how can it be your first kiss!"

"I don't know..." Jungkook grinned. "Maybe... from watching movies?"

"I don't believe you," Jieun huffed. "Jeon Jungkook, tell me honestly... you're actually a player, aren't you?"

"A player...?" Jungkook scoffed. "Who was the one who kissed me first-"

"Ya!"

Jungkook placed Jieun's hand on his left chest and glanced up to look at her. "Can you feel it? Exactly how fast my heart is beating right now? Not just my heart - my stomach, too, always has a thousand mini little butterflies all the time. This is how nervous I feel whenever I look at you, talk to you and hold your hand, Lee Jieun. I'm no player at all... I'm just a man who's crazy about you."

Jieun melted on the spot.

Hyejin yawned loudly as she glanced up at the clock on the wall.

12am, and she was still sitting at her computer at home, doing some research on the topic she was going to interview a doctor about the next day. Empty cups of coffee rested on the table next to her as she typed away, her eyelids heavy but her mind still extremely focused.

Ding!

Hyejin closed her eyes and stretched a little, before picking up her phone.

Hyejin-ssi, you can't possibly
still be up at this hour, can you?

Hyejin smiled sheepishly as she hurriedly replied Namjoon.

You
oops...

Hyejin drummed her long nails against the table, impatiently waiting for Namjoon to reply.
