Chapter 28 - Chapter 27: I Love You

Lee Jieun's POV

I looked over Jungkook who stayed silent. His eyes blinking slowly, glowing by the second, till it watered.

Brushing Taehyungs and Jimins hands off, he wipes his tears.

Watching the lights behind her distorting, before he knew it his hands reached to her cheeks, leaning in down to reach her.

He then meets her lips.

His shaking lips bothered by his sloppiness, held on to her waist pulling her. Grabbing onto her sweater tightly. The pressure of his fingers over her skin.

Jieun tries to push away hitting his shoulders lightly when all she could feel was the heavy smell sinking. Numb to her feelings and the taste of his lips, she gave in.

Jimin and Taehyung stayed frozen, till Taehyung rushed in pulling Jungkook away.

"YAH JUNGKOOK!" They both firmly grunted out.

"I am sorry about that." Jimin flustered helping out Taehyung who was struggling, holding Jungkook back while hugging him.

"I.. just want to talk." Jungkook grunts letting himself finally hold on to Taehyung.

"Thats not talking!" Jimin huffed. Both now bowing and walking him away with them.

"I will talk to him." Lee Jieun hardly spoke.

"He might do something crazy if we let him be and your parents might see him." Taehyung said worriedly while Jimins eyes softened to Jungkook who buried his face into Taehyungs shoulder.

"My parents both have a night shift its fine." She states.

"But still..." Taehyung looked back to Jimin not knowing what to do.

"It will be fine, I will call you guys if something happens." She reassured them.

Both still hesitant, Jungkook then unrested his head over Taehyung. Switching back his vision into Lee Jieun. Abruptly hugging her now, swaying her to the left and right warmly.

She flushed to his warm hold. Brushing it away as she signaled with her hands over Jungkooks back to them.

"We will come back in 30 minutes" Jimin said as he held on to Taehyungs hand directing him away.

Jungkook still quietly balancing his sloppy self into her. Trying to feel to her hold as he grabbed tightly.

Lee Jieun's heart that dropped, butterflies spurting all over. She hid her flushed cheeks as she saw Taehyung and Jimins figure slightly disappear.

She flinched as she felt his breath lean down strongly and brush through her ear.

"I miss you." He whispered out, grazing his lips over her ears as he speaks.

Him finally feeling every ounce that he is pressed to, leans down gently kissing her. The heaviness in her stomach fluttered sinking to the warmth of him.

It soothed him more than he expected, his drunken self felt sober with her touch. His eyes began blurring with tears once again.

"I think I love you." His voice wavered angling his eyes to meet hers. His his head darted back to absorb her presence infront of him.

The swirl of emotion made her gasp through his words. Before she could ponder her thoughts further, his soft lips covered hers.

Moving his hands from cheeks to the back of her neck. More pressure into her lips as she stumbled back continuously. The door swinging back open.

With every stumble and step back. He grabbed her tightly meeting her lips once again and again.

Till her weight rested onto the wall. Shyly looking away into the living room, hearing him still gasping his air.

Her heart ached with every thought. "I love you too:" Giving in, the stinging lessened.

She felt relieved, still not being able to look at him.

"Then why are you making it so hard for me?" He leaned one hand on the wall.

Now feeling his gaze. She stared back at him in awe.

"I don't mean it, it's just complicated figuring things out."

"I don't care what's supposed to happen later on.." Their breath mingled due to their close proximity, trying to savor everything about her. The memory of her plumb lips, glowing eyes, strands of her soft hair over her flushed cheeks.

"All I know is that I love you." He added, moving closer.

His hand still holding on to the wall, he plants a kiss on her cheeks. Warms through her limbs and a painted smile as he pulled away.

Eyes locked, they both smile softly at each other, before drawing back into her lips. Pressing his tongue to her parted lips. Slight burn of his taste steps down her throat with every push of his lips.

Breaths mingled leading her hand to cling to his shoulder. His hands that lost control around her waist are now under her sweater.

Addicted he couldn't bare let her go, his finger gently ran up to the base of her hips. She lets go of his lips moving his hands away from shock.

"Are you okay?" His eyes soften.

"Yeah, its just that you're not sober right now." She tried explaining as her heart wouldn't stop beating heavily.

"Ah, okay." he smiled quietly fixing her hair before holding her hand guiding her to the couch.

He sat down still interlocking into her fingers , closing his eyes leaning back. She smiled fondly staring into his side, his perfectly round face to round nose tip, his small lips and sharp jawline that structure his view.

"Are you sleeping?" Lee Jieun asks with a silently chuckled, as he shook his head.

After a few moments still leaning back he started losing balance, his head sloppily trying to lean back.

She cupped her hands over his cheeks resting his head over her shoulder.

"Should we come pick him up now? Did you guys talk?" Jimin asks hesitantly over the phone

"Yeah.." she awkwardly chuckled.

"He is sleeping now." She adds.

"Okay we will come then" Jimin assures over the phone.

Why do things other than our love matter?

Can you imagine our life without each other?

Surely we can love on...
