Rivals

Chapter 7

"How much did you see?!" I gathered all the underwear in one swoop, hugging them tightly to hide them. Jungkook wore a smug smirk, and I could tell he was immensely delighted to catch my vulnerable side I didn't show in school.

"Don't bother, I saw all of it." He covers his face as he chuckled, mocking the embarrassed state I was in. I wanted to pack my bags and leave forever, away from this dude where I'll never see him again. But knowing him, he'll probably chase me to the ends of the earth.

"Get out." I shot him a murderous look, while desperately holding the bunch of underwear in my arms. He raises his hands in defence, slowly backing away and out the door.

I stayed in my room, recalling the event and having an existential crisis. I was really thinking of disappearing from the face of earth, for good.

By the time I dragged myself out of the room, I spotted the boy sprawled out comfortably on the sofa, sleeping soundly with his chest rising up and down. What is he doing, so relaxed in his enemy's quarters?

I heaved a long sigh, bringing myself to the kitchen to finish the half cooked pasta.

"I actually.....really like you." the girl in front of him blushes intensely, his fingers resting on the bulk of his chest. Somehow, her face seemed to resemble.....Soojung? Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Soojung was wearing a tank top and skirt, and her bare arms made their way around his waist seductively. Jungkook couldn't help but stare at her body, the sheer fabric catching him off guard. She looked absolutely irresistible, enough to make anyone drool over.

And in his delight, her rosy lips puckered up and ventured onto his, placing a sweet kiss onto his mouth. He finds himself hugging the girl back, his lips morphing into hers eagerly.

Soojung smelt....so good. He pulls her in closer to an embrace, his hand travelling around her back and torso. The self control was slipping like water on rock, he gets even more impaitent by the minute.

Unable to handle it any longer, Jungkook pushes the girl down to the floor, hovering over her sexy figure.

And that's when his eyes shot open.

When Jungkook came to his senses, he felt something soft pressing onto him. He instantly pulls away, to find a blushing Soojung staring back at him.

She was lying below him, on the sofa that he slept on. At the corner of his eye was the plate of food ready to be eaten.

"Uh, I..." How was he going to explain this? That he had a wet dream of her, right inside her house, and unknowingly grabbed her in his sleep , pulling her into a tight hug?

The girl was dumbfounded at the situation, and she didn't seem to register the scenario in her head. Jungkook and Soojung's eyes were still tightly locked together in shock, unable to move or say anything.

Eventually it sunk into their minds, both their faces now tinted red. Jungkook was the first to let go, sitting up in the couch and letting some distance between them.

"Sorry..." he blushes slightly, averting eye contact with her. His hands rubbed the back of his neck, obviously flustered.

Soojung sat up as well, her hair tousled from the way Jungkook had hugged her. She stared silently on the ground for a while, trying to think of a topic to say.

"The pasta," she glances at Jungkook, whose white shirt was soaked slightly from the nervous perspiration. "Do you want to eat it?"

Jungkook nods, his attention diverting to her change of clothes before looking away again. Soojung was wearing a tank top and shorts, similar to his dream.

Jungkook could feel his heart beat uncontrollably when he felt the stare from behind his back as he sat on the floor. He begins to eat the pasta, watched by the girl who sat on the couch behind him.

He wanted to test how far he could tease the girl - he found her interesting , sometimes weirdly cute. She was nothing like the girls that fawned over him, and his mind was constantly occupied with thoughts of seeing her.

Soojung slips off the couch quietly, walking to the opposite end of the coffee table. She props both elbows up, her eyes intently staring at Jungkook.

"Is it good?" She asks shyly, pressing both cheeks into her palms. Jungkook glances up at her, his heart skipping a beat at her rare smile. It was so.....Cute.

He nods with a mouth full of the pasta, chewing slowly and savouring the taste. As a result, the corners of his mouth was stained with the sauce.

And it was like second instinct to the girl. She reaches for a tissue to wipe the sauce off his lip, only to lock eyes with him one more time.

This time, she couldn't deny the sound of her thundering heart.
