And so, you and Jungkook both left the cafe and went out to the nearest convenience store. Since there was one closer to the school, that's where you went. When you arrived at the store, you went straight to the isle that carried the ramen on its shelf.
"Hey, how about I make some dinner?" You turned to him with the suggestion.
"You're going to be staying with me, right?"
"Of course, silly. Why would I make enough food for two people and not be there to help you eat it."
"Touché," he pointed at you. "Can we pick up some sliced cheese to go with it?"
You grinned, "of course we can."
While you were picking up a couple of cups to make a big a pot, Jungkook went to the fridge and picked up a couple slices of sliced cheese. After getting your ingredients, you went up to the cashier, where Jungkook paid for everything.
"I'll carry that." Jungkook reached to take the plastic bag from you, but you had moved the bag away and held it in your left hand just before he could.
"No way," you shook your head. "You already paid for everything, so at least let me hold the bag and cook like I said I would."
Jungkook gave up and smiled at you. "Alright, I'll let you handle the bag then."
You huffed, "thank you."
The walk to Jungkook's house was a nice one indeed. After taking the bus, you took a nice stroll up to his house, reminiscing about all kinds of moments from the past. The fun times, and the sad times both, they were all spent beside Jungkook.
"Jungkook, do you remember the time we both got scolded for drawing on the walls at my house?" you laughed.
"Jiyeong, I almost got a beating from my dad because of that."
"Chin up, at least you didn't. That's all that matters, right?" Jungkook shook his head while you giggled on.
"So," he started, "has everything been good for you so far since coming here?"
"Yeah," you nodded, "especially since I got to see you again. I really missed you, Kookie."
That timid smile from earlier had surfaced back to Jungkook's lips after hearing you say that. "You haven't called me that in a long time." He tried to fold his lips inward to keep himself from showing his happiness, but instead, a rosy red dusted across his cheeks and his bunny smile began to break through.
"I know right," you giggled, "but to me, it doesn't sound weird. Even after all this time."
Jungkook scratched the back of his head as his heart started to pound wildly in his chest. "I missed you, too." He stretched his arm in saying. When he took a glimpse your way, he found a grin present on your lips. Jungkook couldn't help but chuckle.
When you arrived at his house, the sun was beginning to set. After you took off your shoes, you went into the kitchen where you set the bag on the counter.
"Jiyeong, I'm gonna go upstairs and take a shower. The pots are in that cupboard above the sink," he pointed to it. "Try not to burn down my house, okay?" he teased.
"Yah, how could you doubt your best friend's cooking skills!" You shook a fist at him, while he jogged up the stairs laughing.
While Jungkook went upstairs to shower and change into some home clothes, you got started on the ramen. First, you washed your hands of all the germs from outside and went to the cupboard and picked out a pot to use. Then you put it under the faucet and waited for it to fill halfway with water. Last, you placed the pot on a burner.
You grabbed and ripped open the packages before returning to the stove, where you broke them up and dumped them into the pot. The seasonings was the last to go in.
A few minutes later, Jungkook was coming down from his room with a towel on his head to dry his damp hair. On his way down, the scent of the ramen began to waltz around his nostrils. He was going to open his mouth and say something, but he decided to save it for when he was right behind you.
Jungkook draped the towel over his neck and carefully made his way down the remaining steps. He slowly crept into the kitchen and up behind you and stretched his hands out and--
"Try it, and I'll kill you." He heard you say and immediately pulled his hands back and behind his back.
He then awkwardly chuckled. "How did you know?"
"I can smell the soap." You looked back and saw Jungkook standing right behind you with a towel hung around his neck. He had on one of his usual home outfits: A white T-shirt and some gray joggers. All the while, his hair was still a little damp from the shower.
"It smells really good." He took a step closer and placed his hands down right down on your shoulders.
"Of course it does," you put a hand on your hip. "Since I'm the one who's making it."
"Is it almost done?" he peered over your shoulder.
"Yup, all I have to do is put the eggs and cheese in."
"Oh, can I do that part?" He leaned over to look you in the face for confirmation. He had that cute and innocent bunny smile of his out on display once again.
How could you even think about saying no to that smile? "Knock yourself out." You moved over to the side to let him do his thing. "Oh, hold on, it's getting a bit hot in here because of the steam." You placed your hands on the hem of your sweater. "Do you mind?" You asked, looking up to him.
'Is she serious?' He shook his head viciously. "N-no, go ahead." He even stumbled over his words.
"'Kay."
From that moment on, Jungkook's eyes became attached to your body. Was he actually going to see you half naked, and in the middle of his kitchen? Was this a blessing or what? He just continued to watch your every move, intently.
You started to peel the sweater off from your body and over your head. When you succeeded in removing the warm article of clothing, the tank top that you had worn right under had ridden up just a little, showing a small portion of your tummy.
"Could you hold this for me?" You held out your sweater for him to take.
"Mhm," he unconsciously nodded and accepted your sweater.
You fixed your tank top and dusted off the light amount of excess lint from the sweater. You then took the hair tie from your wrist, doubled it around your hair, and let your ponytail fall down.
"Thanks, Jungkookie," you took back the sweater from him. You decided to tie it around your waist, to keep it close.
"No problem..." Jungkook's eyes then wandered over to one of your shoulders where he found a black strap showing from underneath your tank top. 'Her underwear is black?' How could he not be even the tiniest bit excited at seeing this?
"Uh, Jiyeong..." He tapped his own shoulder to show you. "Your...um..."
"Hm?" You looked down to your own shoulder and found your bra strap showing just a little. You immediately started blushing. "Don't look!" Your hand flew up to your shoulder as you turned away from him. "You're such a perv, Jungkook." You took a glimpse back at him to see his expression.
"Sorry!" His eyes started wondering in every direction possible. "I didn't mean--It was an accident, honest!" His hand was on his nape, because of the heightening secondhand embarrassment of his. "I-I'm sorry." He was beginning to stumble over his own words before he knew it. "Are--Are you okay? I just--"
"Pfft--"
Jungkook stopped and looked to you and saw you with your hand cupped to your lips, trying to stifle your laughter with all your might. "Jiyeong?"
Finally, you burst into laughter right on cue. "Hahaha, you should've seen the look on your face."
"Huh?" He started looking around, slightly confused and flustered.
"Jungkook, how could I ever be mad at you?" You wiped a falling tear from the corner of your eye. "Relax, I was only joking."
"You little--!" Jungkook darted towards you and grabbed you up from your thighs. "You've got a lot of nerve." He threw you over his shoulder and ran out towards the living room, where he spun you around and around in his strong arms.
"Wa--wait a second!" You smacked his back continuously. "I'm gone blow chunks if you keep spinning me like this! Do you really want my throw up all over your nice living room?!"
"You didn't even eat anything, yet," he continued to spin. "Stop trying to get out of payback."
"Jeon Jungkook!" You shouted at him. "Put. Me. Down!" All of a sudden, you came to an abrupt stop. Then, your body finally came down and your feet finally touched the ground once again. "Everything is spinning." You held out your arms, trying to keep things as still as possible.
"Sorry, I think I overdid it," he chuckled. 'Sorry, not sorry.'
"I'm gonna get you back for that," you pointed at him. "You had better watch out, you hear?"
It was Jungkook who started to laugh this time. "Are you okay? Do you need help walking?"
"No thanks, I'm fine," you told him. You then looked over to the pot, and your eyes widened. "The ramen!" You rushed back to check on dinner.
"Is everything okay?" He followed you into the kitchen and walked up from behind.
You sighed in relief, "yeah, it's all good." You took up the chopsticks once more and started to stir the cheese and yolk into the noodles. "Here, try it." You turned around and held out the chopsticks with some cheesy noodles in between them. "Say ahh~" Your hand was held below the chopsticks just in case the noodles were to fall as it glided towards his mouth.
Jungkook parted his lips and slurped up the noodles. As soon as it hit his taste buds, he smiled. "It's good!" He gave a thumbs up. "Can I try a bit more?"
"Nope, you're not going to get any more until after we've started watching the movie."
"Please," he clapped his hands together. "Just a bit more?"
You sighed in defeat. "Just a bit more, okay?" Jungkook nodded with a big grin on his face as you turned to get a few more strands of noodles. You turned back to him and held out the noddles to him. He leaned in and then slurped them.
"Don't we look like a couple right now?"
Jungkook's eyes widened and he immediately started to choke on the noodles. He started hitting at his chest, over and over to help him get the slippery food down his throat properly.
"Jungkook?" You leaned over and started patting him on the back to help him out. "Did I weird you out just now?"
"No!" He could finally breathe properly. "Of course not! It wasn't weird, but more like, surprising instead."
You just laughed at him. "Why don't you put the cheese and eggs in now?"
"Good idea," he nodded. Jungkook took out 2 eggs from his fridge and returned to the pot. He tapped them against the rim of the pot and cracked it over the ramen. Next, came the sliced cheese. One by one, the plastic was removed, and he neatly layered them over the ramen. Once that was all done, Jungkook clapped once and turned to you with a wide grin.
"Done!" He looked just like a child who had done a good deed.
You shook your head while chuckling, "how cute." You reached up to lightly pinch his cheek. Jungkook's heart rate started to quicken upon the brief contact. He definitely did not know how to react to you after doing that.
'What's going on?!' Jungkook could only sigh at the confusion that he was left with.
"Oh," you were then reminded of the movie, "Kookie, go put on the movie while I put out dinner, hurry."
"What do you wanna see?"
"I don't mind watching anything that you want to. Just as long as it's not scary."
"Iron Man!"
You giggled, "Iron Man it is then."
Jungkook then rushed off to the living room to turn on the t.v and go to Netflix. Meanwhile, you were taking out 2 bowls from the dish drainer. After you finished getting things set up, you came out into the living room with two bowls full of delicious ramen.
You handed Jungkook his bowl as you lowered yourself down onto the couch, right beside him. "Did I miss anything?"
"Nope," he shook his head, "nothing yet."
You put your feet up on the couch and snuggled yourself next to him, getting as comfortable as possible.
Noticing this completely, Jungkook's lips became tightly pursed and his body movements became as stiff as a board. At the same time though, he couldn't help but think that this felt so right. This calming mood that the both of you were in felt nice. Watching an Iron Man movie, eating ramen, and all with the girl he liked the most snuggled up against him. It was just like you said earlier, it felt like you both were dating. If he wasn't the luckiest guy in the world right now, then he didn't know who was.
