Chapter 33 - Chapter 32: Still With You

From the ride back home till night fell, Lee Jieun and Jungkook barely spoke a sentence to each other. Both were quiet, being completely the opposite of who they are. The huge elephant in the room that they have pledged to themselves to not speak about, had them walking around eggshells.

Lee Jieun kept to her room all day and Jungkook to the living room. Only when it was lunch time or dinner, that's when they fully acknowledged the other and asked what they would wish to eat.

Jieun was fixing her bed to sleep when a knock on the door is sounded later presenting Jungkook in one of Hoseok's rare black T-shirts and grey sweatpants.

"What do you mean? You wanna sleep with me?" Jieun lips part in confusion.

"Its not what you think- ah." He stutters, his eyes trail from hers to his side scratching his head.

"Even after debut I shared rooms with Jimin and Taehyung, so I will just sleep on the ground I promise." He tries explaining, he nervously taps his legs waiting for her dazed self to respond.

"You're scared?" Her lips twitch to a smile, and she cackles lightly.

"NO! NO!...Its just a habit." He shakes his head aggressively.

"Its fine then, I guess." She enters her room , still silently laughing to her self.

"Its really a habit..." He exclaims sighing while she handed him a blanket and pillows. She ignored his statement with a nod trying to find as much pillows as possible.

He plopped down placing his blankets over each other and laid comfortably, his eyes still follow her as she searches through her closet.

Realizing he laid down she looks back at him.

"Are comfortable?" She starts feeling extremely guilty.

He nods to her with a smile, sinking into his blanket.

Jieun hesitates as she keeps turning back in bed. Not being able to sleep, she gets out of bed.

"Ah heos.... Jungkook?" She takes a while to absorb what to call him.

Jungkooks hm-ed back at her with a sleepy voice.

"Are you able to sleep like this?.."

"Yes don't worry." He silently laughs with a soft smile.

"If you struggle to sleep, you can sleep here. The bed is big anyways." She moved in bed leaving space for him, putting pillows in between like she saw Hoseok do.

Cackling at her small figure cutely fidget around her bed making space for him, he grabbed his pillow.

Crashing in bed as she still patted the pillows in place, she met eyes with him. Flustered she slowly turned around, warming her self under the blanket covering half of her face.

Jungkook still fondly smiling gazing her figure infront of him. His thoughts rambled to memories of holding her small waist and his fingers tugging her soft hair.

His smile slowly faded, closing his eyes to shift his thoughts away to sleep.

Not being able to sleep, he turned around in bed continuously. His thoughts kept pondering. Why did I switch bodies with Hoseok? Was it the bridge? And how long is this going to last? It feels too real to be a dream like his dreams of Lee Jieun in Heejins body.

"Are you awake?" Lee Jieun asks as she feels his gaze, and slight shifting noises.

"You can't sleep either?" Jungkook asks, she turns in bed facing him.

His heart fluttered at her body inching closer as she turned.

"How am I going to do this?" His breath hitches feeling her warmth reach him.

"What do you mean?"She looked at him confused.

"Hoseok is your manager.." the thought of the responsibility stresses him. "And you're an idol, I don't want risking ruining this for you. I also feel somewhat guilty, it feels like this is repeating with us all over again because of me." He rambles while his mind darts further away.

"Jungkook." she  whispers softly.

"You should worry about yourself too. Plus you will naturally adapt to Hoseok's memory, it happened to me when I was in Heejin's." She tried reassuring.

"We don't know why this is happening again, or how long it will last, but its never your fault. Remember how you said it wasn't my fault at that time either?" absorbing her calming voice, admiring every detail about her.

He stayed quiet, eyes darkening while his heart started pacing faster. He moves closer gravitating to her unintentionally till their breathes intertwined, she gasps as he comes closer arching back.

"I missed you." He whispers.

She rubbed her fingers along the mattress, pressing her cheeks deeper into pillow she doesn't say a word.

"I know I don't have the right to say this but I missed you a lot." Her warmth envelopes him as he closes his eyes.

Her heart starts beating violentl, repeating the soft look in his eyes as he said those words.

——-

"Jungkook you have been in the bathroom for 2 hours now, you could have used hoseoks bathroom." Jieun nags continuing to knock the door.

Jungkook grins to a laugh hearing her whining, opening the door to her.

She gasps to the sight of the man in nothing but a towel, as water droplets still lingered through his fit figure.

"Wow, he never told me  she he got this fit." she pokes his abs on Hoseok's body that she is familiar to,  Jungkook flusters to her touch inching away.

"You can't just do that." He stutters covering him self with his hands.

Seconds later realizing it's not even his body, "Yah! You're not supposed to find him attractive!" His voice cracks eyeing her gazing at him carelessly.

"Why not? Plus I only said he got fit." She cackles then points outside for him to leave so she can take her bath.

——

"Why is his closet so depressing?" Hoseok nags to Jimin searching through his shoes that were all nothing but black boots, staring back at the closet that screamed nothing but black and black.

"It's his style, you gotta get used to it." Jimin grins at him moving closer to the closer to grab an outfit.

"Here wear this its new." Jimin gave him a a leather jacket with matching black shirt and pants.

"You have to be kidding me!" Hoseok groans as Jimin hands him Jungkooks boots.

——

"Why is your mangers closet so colorful it's blinding!" He sits down the table after she places him his plate of cornflakes, wearing the only grey shirt and black joggers he could find.

"Whats wrong with that? I like his style actually." Jieun placed the milk in front of him, Jungkook sighed at her answer slightly.

"My style is way better." He mumbled to himself.

"What?"

"Hoseok seems to like cornflakes or whatever." He changed the subject, starting to get flashbacks of how she seemed to take this habit out of Hoseok.

"Should I make you something else?"

Feeling the bothered tone from him. She lifts herself off the table but is stopped as she felt his warm hold on her arm.

"No no it's fine I like it too but I will make something else because this isn't enough." He softens at her reactions and stands up instead.

"Just use Hoseok's side of fridge because he has a really sensitive stomach." She started to worry. He nodded searching through it, finding Nutella he beams widely with a slight jump.

She smiles to her self eyeing how happy he got over something so simple. Getting up to toast him some bread, he looks back to her as she puts them inside the toaster for him.

"Make it two." He said inching closer to her, brushing through her arm accidentally. His breath hitches but she doesn't react back.

"Are you that close to him?"

"Hm?" Not understanding what he meant she faces him, both now staring into each others eyes.

"You seem really close to Hoseok." He leans closer trying to prove his point, ignoring the way his body flattered.

"In what way?" Her heart rate now pacing as fast as Jungkook's.

His hands slowly wraps around her waist, heat rushing through her skin with his warm touch.

"Why are you allowing me to do this? Are you two dating?" He resists his eyes looking down to her lips.

"No.. you just took me off guard." She removes his hand off he, moving further away.

" I don't believe you."
