Chapter Twenty Five: Weekend with the In Laws Pt2

" Y/N said you have great abs----"

" MOTHER." You shouted immediately, feeling like someone had suddenly turned on an internal heater inside your system. " I.Did.Not.Say.That" Your pale skin slowly turned from a ghastly white to a shade of a ripe strawberry. The warmth had now bloomed into a full blown.

" You did." Your mom looked at you, ignoring your obvious frozen form she continued to embarrass you " Earlier when your dad and him were in the backyard...."

" MOM...Y-You asked and I j.....just didn't d..disagree ...." Your cheeks flushed pink and you didn't even dare to look at him but you had an idea how he might be thinking.

" Same...." She laughed " Show me show me...." She turned to Jungkook who blinked his eyes and walked away from her.

" Eommonim...wait...wait.." The man panicked you almost forget your embarrassment and chuckled when she tried to take a peak at his abs but he kept running around the room until she gave up.

" Fine Fine...." She rolled her eyes and raised her hands up. " I will see them one day." She winked and walked out the room.

You cursed under your breath when the room become silent.

Jungkook broke it with a chuckle; You swear you could hear the smirk on his face, if that was possible....

You swallowed hard not daring to turn around to face him, You were blushing....... Well not just blushing, Blushing would have been no problem, but what you did was go as red as a beetroot and radiate heat like a hot pan, You could have cooked a three course meal on your face. There's no chance he won't notice.

" Look..." You looked up at him and pointed with your finger " Before you start teasing me about it, I told you that she is the o-----------"

" I didn't say anything." Jungkook smirked again - just a small pouting of the lips; a narrowing of the eyes and a tilting of the head but enough to freeze your heart.

" You're thinking and it's annoying."

"Oh Baby, why're you blushing?" His voice was teasing as he took a step toward you.

" She asked and I didn't disagree, Come on Jungkook stop pretending I am the only one who told you this..." You looked away and bite your lip " I mean, Wasn't it the whole reason why you took me to the bath house? To show off your God like body !!..."

Shit........You just made it worst.

When he laughed, You wanted the earth to open up and swallow you whole. you wished to 'do a Daphne' and drop through a scooby-doo style trap door in the floor. But there was no rescue from this embarrassment.

" Thank you..." The man smirked when watching the nervous reactions you were showing; What he said next had you frozen " If showing off can get your attention, I intend to do a lot of it."

Your heartbeat sped faster when noticing the serious tone he used, he wasn't joking nor teasing....He was serious?

" J...Jungkook!...."

For a half second, You both stood there, staring at each other. You were assessing him as though he was a book you want to read or a mysterious place you want to discover , and he simply watched you because he found you the most beautiful girl in the world. It was your eyes that captivated him most of all though. Your eyes were round and framed by thick long lashes. He found it confusing that he really didn't thought you were that beautiful when he first met you, He admit you are beautiful but he saw better but now........

No one in the world can fill up his mind the way you are doing. " You know, When you look at me like that It makes me want to kiss you..." his soft hand traveled to touch your cheek. He glance at your lips continuously while trying to focus on what's going on.

" When you say that it makes me wish you do.." You said quietly and sincerely not trying to hide it anymore.

Jungkook softly pulled you closer to him then grabs you gently by the face and plants his lips on yours as he looks deep into your eyes " Y/N I ....." You didn't want him to talk at this moment. Leaning forward, You inched your face closer to his until your lips were less than an inch apart. ... He kissed you slowly, carefully, as if afraid he would do something wrong then when he realizes you're kissing back, he kisses you with more passion. ... your hips, and your hands around his neck; he gives you gentle, sweet kisses. " I think I L............"

" Jungkook ? There's two guys here for you....." You pulled away quickly, finally realizing what you were doing, You stared at each other in an odd way, as if it were a silent argument. Your glances battled each other.

" I....." Words left you. You stared into those bright brown eyes and your heart fell silent.

Jungkook saw the shock register on your face before you could hide it. and somehow he regretted what he just did.

" Jungkook? ..." Your Mom opened the door this time, Jungkook immediately looked at her and swallowed. " One says he's your friend.." She blinked her eyes.

Friend ?

" Jimin was his name ..? " she asked looked up to think.

"Jimin? Why wo-----"

Confused, You followed Jungkook outside the room to the front door where Jimin and Yoongi stood with a smile in their faces.

" Hello! We came to visit.." Jimin waved at your confused face.

" How did you know I am here ? " There was a delicious moment where Jungkook's face washed blank with confusion.

" How did they know the place is the right question, Jungkook...." You laughed at them then asked them to come in.

" Thank you and sorry for the surprise..." Yoongi smiled at you and you softly nodded to him.

" Sweet home..." Jimin smiled while looking at your small house, Maybe it was small but it smells home.

The men sat in the sofa followed by your mother while Jungkook leaned against the wall staring at them with a look you couldn't decipher, Anger or just confusion? " Just........Why are you here again? " He finally asked

" Omo weren't you Jungkook's best man in the wedding?" Your mom remembered.

" Yes Eommoni..." He shyly nodded and gave her his charming smile.

She laughed " Ohhh It's really hard not to remember you, You're so handsome...." she complimented him then looked at Yoongi " Wow.... You're very good looking too.... Ya My son in law, Are all your friends so handsome like them? "

" Eommoni...." Jungkook pouted and sighed " You said it, I am your son in law not them, don't say this..."

You laughed at his sudden cuteness then remembered the kiss from few seconds ago and your face turned red again, the feeling of his soft lips on yours was still there, sparks were running through your body almost forgetting that you're in a room full of people.

" I will get you something to drink, Stay here okay...." Your mom pinched Jimin's cheeks as if he were 5 years old, well.......His cheeks are so cute. can you blame her?.

When your Mom walked to the kitchen, Yoongi start talking " We were passing by the area so we thought we can spend some time with you ..." He told you.

You smiled, The last time you met Yoongi he only said a word to you but now he's acting like he knows you for a long time which softened your heart.

" So.........How did you know the place?" Jungkook asked again and walked to sit beside you in the sofa almost giving you a heart attack " I don't remember I told anyone where I am going!" He raised his eyes at them while you were finding a hard time being near to him.

Jimin laughed and grabbed his phone showing Jungkook a map with a red glowing dot " Followed your location, It's easy.."

Jungkook's eyes widened " You tracked my phone?"

The other man nodded, proud of himself " Yep....."

" Wow Hyung, This is another level of stalking, Can you leave me alone ? I am married..." Jungkook smirked.

Jimin laughed and shook his head teasing " No No No... I won't."

You laughed when hearing Jungkook cursed under his breath.

" It's okay guys, You are welcome anytime.." You told them.

" Thank you.." They smiled at you

" Oh that's awesome..." Jungkook suddenly stood up and smiled brightly " Y/N's father will make me play basketball, You two will join..." he clapped his hands then looked at you " If Yoongi plays there's no chance of losing, he's the best.."

" Oh really? " You looked at Yoongi who kept on smiling.

Weird.

" Yeah he was the best in High school and college..." Jimin patted on Yoongi's shoulder.

" I haven't play in a long time Jungkookie, I don't know if I still have the skills ....." He laughed

" We'll practice tonight.." Jungkook nodded and sat down looking so happy.

So.... He was nervous about the game?.

" Well.... My father and his friends and really good and they play every weekend , You guys should practice a lot then...." You smiled

" Here is some juice for you..." Your mom came back with the tray and placed the glasses in the table.

" Thank you so much." They thank her.

" Y/N sweetheart, Let's clean the guest room for the gentlemen later so they sleep comfortable ....Okay? " Your mom told you and you nodded.

" No it's okay Eommoni, we'll stay in a nearby hotel." Yoongi polity refused but your mom had said her words.

" Hotels? No way......" she shook her head " You're our guest, Plus....Y/N's father will prepare his famous barbecue for us tonight, more people is more fun."

-----------

" Mom we're leaving..." You shouted from the door as Jungkook and you finished wearing your shoes ready to go grocery shopping for the barbecue tonight.

" Alright, be careful ..." She shouted back and you walked out the house.

" We won't take the car, The place is near.." You turned to look at Jungkook, smiling " We can walk by the beach, it's been a while since I last did that.."

" That's a good idea then." He returned the smile then placed his car key back into his pocket keeping his hand there, You two walked down the neighborhood you missed so much.

You had a simple calm life when you lived here, Near your street you can go to thesupermarket, bakery, bookshops and also Chinese or Italian restaurants. Bus serviceis always on time. Policemen and firefighters are very available if something wronghappens in your neighborhood. Behind your neighborhood there's a big lake and arecreation park where lots of people have fun in the summer. Your neighbors arevery kind, friendly and useful.

" Sometimes I regret leaving this place.." You didn't realize you said what you said out loud until Jungkook spoke calmly.

" Why did you leave? " He asked while the two of you walked slowly.

You looked at him and sighed " The college I wanted to attend was in Seoul and before I even decide to look for a job here, Mark and I ......... decided o get married."

" Oh!." He nodded understanding " But it's good that you came to Seoul, I wouldn't have met you if you stayed here..." He chuckled

Biting your lips a fresh light of pink was shown in your cheeks " You lived in Seoul for your whole life ? "

" That's what I have been told.." He looked down and smiled, the kinda smile that hides stories you wanted to know but you had no courage to ask.

You paused a little then started again " This place is famous for its beautiful and large lake, where it is only a short walk from my house and I often go jogging or walking there early in the morning almost everyday in summer." You smiled and told him " I will take you there if you want."

"I would love to.." His sad smiled disappeared and only a soft one came.

------

Few more minutes and you two arrived to the supermarket and start grabbing what your mom asked for, Jungkook also grabbed few things he wanted in another cart.

Then when it's time for paying you watched Jungkook taking his card out of his pocket but stopped him.

"What are you doing? " You asked then pushed his card away " You're our guest as Mom said, I can't let you pay..."

" Don't say that Y/N, Your mom sees me as your husband and who's paying doesn't matter between families plus I didn't get your parents anything.....It's rude if I -------"

" Stop please, I don't care how she sees you.." You sighed before taking your purse " You've been paying everything back in your house for me, We're not really a husband and wife but you still do it and this is my house so......"

Jungkook watched as you paid for your and his stuff but money was in his least thoughts now, The man was thinking about your words.....

Not really husband and wife?

But I thought.......After the kiss.........

He sighed and followed you " Let me carry them at least..." Jungkook grabbed the bags from you and you gladly accepted his offer.

I have to tell her...... Soon.

--------

As you walked down the boardwalk beside the beach your shadows were now twice as long as themselves, the air was damp and cool smelling faintly of a fresh seaside, It smells warm and salty, the sun dipped lower in the sky until the trees that lines the lane stood as black statues silhouetted against the darkening sky " You know..... people say the sunset here in the third most beautiful one in the world.."

" really?" Jungkook followed your gaze to the ocean where the sun was almost saying goodbye

" Yeah, after the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles and Oia Santorini in Greece ..." You smiled

" Let's stay and watch it then.." Jungkook pointed to a nearby bench and walked faster to sit on it.

You laughed " Mom will kill us for that but.........hell I missed the place she can't blame me.."

You followed him and sat down.

You two sat down in silence and waited for the sunset.

Peace. Serenity. Contentment. A mixture of all of these creates the unmatched feeling that overwhelms you when you're at the beach, watching the constant ebb of the waves.

It's only you and him and the beach, allowing you to enjoy the sunset, undisturbed. The sun, a fiery orb, looks like it's gradually receding into the waters below. The sky consists of an assortment of shades, a blend of reds, oranges and yellows. The waters below mirror this effect. The waves are tinted vermilion, with underlying streaks of blue that clash with it

"It's breathtakingly beautiful" Jungkook said quietly under his breath as if scared to disturb the calmness of the place. All you two can hear is the sound of the waves as they crash against the shore and seagulls, which you cannot see, squawk in the distance.

You nodded, speechless as you watched this magnificent sight, The wind whispers in your ear as it plays with your hair, as if it is telling you it's deepest, darkest secrets, You wanted to whisper back, tell the wind about your life...... your fake life and the smiles in your mom's face that could disappear in any second.

Feeling your eyes starting to water, You closed them as you breathe in the cold, salty. The smell is chaste and unpolluted, a welcome change from the smog that envelops me in the city. It is the smell of freedom, and it makes you want to get up and run along the shore " Jungkook?" You said his name and when he looked at you you smiled " Wanna run? "

" Run ? " he blinked as he gave you a confused look.

You nodded and stood up " Follow me..."

You took off your shoes and placed then next to the bag, as you run, the wind whips your face, blowing your hair back. The salty air makes your eyes water and your feet tingle. The sand is soft beneath your feet.

" Y/N Ah..." Jungkook called as he did the same, running after you with a huge smile in his face. This seems childish but he loved it.

" Come on.." You waved to him as you run close to the ocean, dodging the waves that try to push you over. You almost fall – the water makes you slip, and you stumble clumsily. falling into the send

" Be careful.." Jungkook softly said and chuckle then took your hand to help you stand up.

" Thank you.." You looked up at him, His lips bear the semblance of a smile, just enough to show that he is enjoying his thoughts, whatever they may be.

You feel the stickiness settling on your skin, Jungkook watched you as you walk towards the ocean to wash your feet.

You soak your feet, and wash your face – which is a big mistake. The saline water stings your eyes, making them burn " AAwwww .." the water goes into your mouth. It tastes salty and dirty – quite different from how it looks – and your spit it out.

" Hey...You okay?" You heard Jungkook beside you as you raise your shirt to wipe your mouth, and get sand in my mouth. Your idiocy annoys you as you spit out the rough, grainy sand. You wipe your mouth and sit back down, feeling stupid.

Jungkook laughed then joined you sitting in the send. " How does it taste? " he joked

" horrible."You chuckled " It tastes of nothing at all, it's not salty or sweet, just dry "

" Good to know.." He laughed then followed your gaze to the sunset again.
