Captivated (12) Playing with Fire
The next day dawned. It had only been two days since we'd been together, but I sat down at the table as if it had been a month. Freshly washed, I sat at the table, shaking my wet hair, and observed Jeongguk diligently preparing breakfast. I wanted to tease him, didn't I?
"Jungkook, please give me food, food. Please. Give. Me~ Hit"
"What the heck, you stinking badger, did you leave the food here?"
Jungkook jokingly responded to my unexpected aegyo.
""Hey, I just washed up and came out... but it doesn't smell..?"
As I sniffed my arm, Jeon Jungkook started to overreact.
"No.. I smell like a badger? LOL"
"No? Seriously, try it!"
He held out his arm and told me to smell it.Jeon Jungkook, where the hell do you get your drugs from?
"No, if I say so, then I mean so"
The moment Jungkook sniffed,
"is fake! what is that badger smell? you want to die??
"You snake that keeps picking a fight!! Eat this!"
I put Jungkook in a headlock. At first, I tried to knock him down without using my strength, butAaaah, thump!!It wasn't Jeongguk who fell backwards, it was me. Human strength alone can't handle Jeongguk... ㅜㅠ
'Miss.... It doesn't work because you don't externalize it.'
I sprawled on the kitchen floor, wiping myself off, and he seemed annoyed and went back to focusing on what he was doing. So I jumped up again, hung onto Jeongguk's back, and tried to put him in a headlock.
"Hey, hey, stop being annoying here and let's get this right..."
"Tch... Okay."
It seemed like the right thing to do, so I fell off the back I was hanging on to. I glanced at Jeongguk's ears and saw that they were slightly red.
. . .
A while later, we were facing each other after pushing the sofa away from the living room. Our faces were both covered in sweat. No matter how hard we tried, the human body couldn't possibly overcome Jeon Jungkook.
"Hey, why do you keep trying to attack me when you're so incompetent?
"No matter how much I think about it, it still feels a bit unfair..!
You bit me twice and gave me medicine once...
I can't do anything!!!
Why don't you just relax and give it a try?"
"I don't like that..?
I felt it back then too, but you have a bad temper..
"You're really trying hard,"
"That's why I came here.
Do you think I could have come easily..?"
He spoke and struck again. He tried to use force enough to make a groan, but the strength from his small body was no way to overcome this large, muscular man.
"Don't just push through with force,
"You have to shift your weight to the left."
Jeon Jungkook seemed so relaxed, even coaching, that I felt a surge of irritation. I was groaning with my head down, trying to exert myself, but then I noticed and let out a little of my frustration.
Kwadang~!
Jeon Jungkook, whose body suddenly fell over, seemed startled, but then he looked at my long, hard fingernails and smiled.
"What the heck, you gave up because you couldn't do it with your skills..?"
I was a little worried that Jeon Jungkook would get angry, but when he smiled, the tension eased a little.Haha, I was scared for nothing..
"Oh, sorry... I wanted to pass you over so badly"
"Ugh... Okay, I'm bored right now, so I'll take it..."
I laughed awkwardly at Jeon Jungkook's words. He seemed like such a total idiot, a total psychopath, but he's surprisingly cool-headed. There were parts of us that I liked, and I thought he might have been a nice guy if we hadn't met that way. And the way he's slightly self-conscious about me is so intriguing... It's a bit mischievous, but should we play along? It feels like the next six days will be boring for both of us...Hehehehe..
It was late evening.
I had just finished cleaning up the living room, which had been a mess since we practiced in the morning, and after roughly finishing up the work I had received from the lab, I picked out a suitable romantic movie at Jeongguk's suggestion to watch a movie after dinner.
I looked to the side and saw Jeon Jungkook watching a movie quite seriously, but my head was filled with dark thoughts about how I could touch this man. Thinking about it, it was so exciting..
I tapped Jeon Jungkook's hand, which was neatly placed next to his sitting leg, with the tip of my finger. Surprisingly, Jeon Jungkook naturally took my hand as my fingers slipped beneath his.What the...?I liked Jeon Jungkook's reaction and was about to interlock my hands, but Jeon Jungkook stopped me.
""Stop it"
"Huh..?"
I paused at Jeongguk's words.
"You know, when you sit alone with a guy and keep touching him, it's a nuisance while you're watching a movie...”
"That's true, but...
“Isn’t it strange that a man and a woman of mature age live in the same house and nothing happens..?”
As I smiled and looked at him mischievously, Jeon Jungkook turned towards me as if he had given up on watching the movie.Dude, you look cute like this...
side~
Jungkook kissed her cheek while he was at it. His face flushed bright red, and his brow furrowed as if a series of thoughts were racing through his mind. Jungkook's expression became serious, and for a moment, I realized I'd done something wrong.
"You... I don't know if you regret what you did now"
Jeongguk said softly.
