𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬: The Trilogy

𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐈: Chapter 16

"Um...yeah of course he would." He said, and smile formed on his face.

But then I took noticed of his camera that he had on his hand. "What were you taking pictures of?"

"Oh uh..it's nothing" He said suddenly getting shy, scratching the back of his head.

"Aww, c'mon let me see!" I squeal trying to grab his camera but he was not letting me get a hold of it.

We argued like two kids until he finally gave in. "Fine here." He shows the pictures he had taken of and my eyes gleam at the well-photograph images. It was of the garden.

"Oh my god, these are beautiful!" I said still looking through the pictures. "You're a really good photographer."

"Thank you," he said shyly. "But just don't tell the guys, they don't know about this. I know damn well they'll roast the shit out of me."

I chuckled. Then noticed the photos were merely of places and things. "Do you ever take pictures of people?"

"No, but I want to. It's just hard because I'm always busy. This is just something I do when I'm stress. Just to get away from the madness that work brings."

"I'll be your subject." I beamed. He didn't say anything, as he looked at me blankly. But he did seem a little shocked at my sudden offer.

"I'll be your subject, Taehyung." I repeated, smilingly.

"Um...I don't think Jungkook would be happy about that."

"Why not?"

He didn't answer.

"Oh please, Taehyung? It'll be so much fun," I gleefully pleaded. "Please?"

Taehyung stared at me amused, and soon gave in. He ended up taking pictures of me and they turned out so beautiful. I kept laughing the whole time, but it was such a fun experience.

After we spent a few moments together walking around the garden, talking with one another and catching up like we were old friends. I was different with Taehyung than the boys. I can easily talk to him and joke around. Our personalities seem to fit each other.

***

After my time with Taehyung, I went to the kitchen to cut the flowers and had asked Maria if she had a vase I can put them in. Which she ended up having and reassured me that Jungkook would love and appreciate them. I gave her a hug, happy and appreciative of her. She then went on back to what she was doing.

I stood by the counter for a moment admiring the outcome of how the flowers looked in the clear vase. I was feeling so happy knowing Jungkook would love this.

I turned around, but was startled to see Jungkook standing right in-front of me.

"Oh my god, you scared me." I said, holding onto my rapidly beating heart. But then smiled knowing that he was finally home. Although he didn't look too happy. Maybe a bad day at work?

I ignored his expression and hugged him firmly, missing his warmth and scent. But I realized he wasn't hugging me back. I pulled away, only to meet his cold glare.

I picked up the flowers from the counter and presented it infront of him, with a wide smile hoping it would ease his expression. "Look Jungkook, I picked this out just for you!"

His eyes shifted down at the clear vase full of flowers, then back up at me. His expression didn't change. Instead he snorted derisively. "You're pathetic." He slapped the vase out of my hands, making me jump at the glass shattering loud onto the marble floors.

I turned my gaze back onto him, shocked at his sudden obstruct behaviour. "Why...w-what's wrong Jungkook?"

Maids walked in but abruptly stop realizing the situation and walked out.

He looked at me with a vicious stare. "Go to our room." I was about to speak until his eyes intensified. "Now!"

I put my head down, eyes filled with tears as I head upstairs to our room. I sat on the armchair when he finally comes and shuts the door.

He walked towards me, looking down at me. I gulped. He seemed to be in a scary mood.

Next thing I knew, he pulled me towards him and smacked his lips onto mine. Then brought me up onto his torso, aggressively deepening the kiss as he laid me onto the bed.

"You're only mine." He growled, then sucked onto my neck. "Only fucking mine."

His lips went back up to my mouth. He was kissing me so harshly, my lips started feeling numb.

"No one can touch you but me." He said between kisses. "You got it baby girl." He stopped and look into my eyes, waiting for me to answer. I quickly nodded. "This is all mine." He kissed my neck and suck on it so viciously.

He shifted his body up and kneeled on the bed taking his shirt off then bring one knee between my legs. Terror washed over me.

He came back down, hovering over me but before he can do anything I lifted my hands to cup his cheek. His expression softened marginally, feeling so relief.

"Jungkook, why are you being like this?" I said softly, pleading with my eyes. "Is everything okay?"

His eyes bore into mine. The dark cold eyes seem to be tame before he lowered his head onto the crook of my neck. I hear him breath deeply as he fell silent for a moment.

He soon raised his head to look at me. The dark and scary demeanour seem to have vanished. I could see a glimpse of the Jungkook I knew. But he came off of me and walked away towards the bathroom.

Moments later he came out with a towel around his torso but didn't stare my way. He headed off to his walk-in closet and came out dressed up. Not the usual suits and dress shoes. He had on his black pants, designer sneakers and plaid shirt.

He walked out the door without saying a word.

Where would he be off to?

I let him be.

He just came back from his three day business trip in Daegu. He probably misses his friends and wants to hang out with them.

Although I rather have him here with me. But it's okay. I understand. Considering how he was moments ago, he seem to be in a lot of stress and something must have bothered him.
