Eun Ae's P.O.V.

I got up as i felt a warm breathe fanning my face. It tickled me softly, i fluttered my eyes and saw his wide open mouth with his bunny teeth out, somehow i found that cute.

Wait...? Why i am in his arms but?

I did a weak attempt to free myself from his arms. A major part of mine wanted to stay in that warm embrace. There came a time when i gave up and tried savouring the moment, god knows why but it felt so nice.

He looks so soft and relaxed while sleeping. How can anybody even hurt him? Forget about hurting how can anybody even think about hurting him?

I tried scooting backwards to escape from his hug, away from him without waking him but stopped as i felt him moving in sleep. A sudden jerk and he pulled me in his chest, groaning with his morning husky voice. I squirmed nervously as i felt my upper body dangerously close to his rock hard chest.

God, it felt so wrong yet right. I sniffed his scent and my stomach exploded with butterflies which i never experienced around him.

Why i am not able to push him away despite knowing that he is a playboy and he has slept with many?

Why i feel so safe and good in his arms?

What are you doing to me Jungkook?

I felt so small, warm and owned in his arms.

rather can't afford.

We heard a squeal followed by a painful cry from outside. It was loud enough to woke him.

He grunted lightly before opening his eyes and it instantly went wide when he saw that his hand was around my waist while my face an inch away from his chest.

"Oh.... i am sorry... " he quickly released me and sat, looking away. I felt my cheeks getting heated up and i found him cute.

"It's fine" i assured him that everything was okay as i saw how flustered and embarrassed he was. As he might be thinking that i would call him a pervert.

"I...heard ..someone scream..ing..." i stuttered and tried diverting the topic.

"Yeah me too" he got up and combed his tousled hairs with his fingers.

Jungkook walked towards the door and i quickly followed.

"What happened ahjumeoni? We heard screamin-" he paused as he saw the little boy, Jun sitting on the floor. He was sobbing and whining in pain while the old lady and his mother were sitting besides him and were trying to comfort him by rubbing his back. Jungkook quickly ran towards the boy and squatted infront of him. He quickly wrapped his arms around the little boy and hugged him tightly.

"What happened to him?" his voice showed concern. His eyes never left the kid as he tried to find out what happened to him. He cupped his cheeks and wiped his tears with his thumbs and then kissed his forehead.

"Jungkook-ssi, he was running and he tripped" the old lady said.

"Jungk-"

"We need to take him to the hospital. He is whining in pain so there must be some serious issue" before i could complete he snarled, leaving me dumbfounded.

He did not even tried listening to the ladies and not even me as he carried the boy towards the car.

••••

We were waiting for Jungkook as it was almost an hour Rhea unnie and Jungkook went to the hospital with the boy.

Just then they came and i sighed.

"Is he okay?" my eyes were on the kid who was resting in his arms peacefully. Without answering he walked towards the room leaving me puzzled. I felt so weird and ignored. I was unaware that Rhea unnie was observing my every movement.

"Eun Ae"

"Hmph?" i averted my eyes towards her.

"Actually Jungkook is worried for Jun. From the time we entered the hospital he literally created chaos and he is still out of his mind so please don't be mad at him for ignoring you as right now he is thinking about the kid" she rubbed my shoulder and smiled.

I sighed. I shouldn't be mad at him for ignoring me as he means nothing to me... right?

I thought as i entered Jun's room. Jungkook covered his body with blanket and he intertwined his fingers with Jun's tiny ones. He slowly caressed the forehead of the boy after kissing it and after few minutes the boy drifted to dreamland in his presence. I wasn't able to avert my eyes from him. I realised that i was staring at him only when he turned his head towards me. I flinched a little and gulped harder.

"You are here?" he got up and walked towards me.

"Uhmm.. nothing i was worried about the boy. Is he okay?" i switched my eyes towards the boy who was fast asleep.

"Yeah... he was just little bit hurt. He will be okay" he smiled and after taking a quick look at Jun he walked outside.

"Duh...and he says he is heartless" i muttered before following him.

~~~

"Eun Ae"

I raised my head from my mobile as i was watching EXO's music video while sitting on the couch in the living room. I saw Jungkook standing infront of me with his dripping wet hairs and partially soaked tank top. Unfortunately he was wearing a black one so his abs wasn't visible...

Wait did i said ? Duh...my bad...

"What?" i asked as the sea of lust inside my heart settled but still last night's incident flashed in my mind and i felt the same butterflies in my stomach.

Dangerous man...!!

"Actually hyungs are coming... they wanted to taste your cooking also we have planned to celebrate tonight" he wiped his hairs making it more messy. My mind was possessed​ by his actions and it only landed in reality when he repeated his sentence.

"Celebrate what?" i asked.

"You know now... i am CEO so..."

"You planned without asking me? Do you even know how dead tired i am after traveling back to Seoul?" i lied. I am perfectly fine as i and unnie took a wonderful nap at the backseat while Jungkook did all the driving without complaining.

He sighed. I could see his face turned pale. Now there is no way out Jungkook... you need to request me. I smiled internally thinking that how he will handle this situation now.

He walked towards me with his eyes fixed on mine. I could feel the current traveling inside me and reaching every nerve as it possibly could. I gulped thinking about what he is going to do. To my surprise he knelt down infront of me.

"Jung..Jungkook..." i stuttered.

"Eun Ae-ssi can you please... cook dinner for my hyungs?" he asked politely and he batted his eyelashes. I swear to god he was looking like a harmless puppy. His eyes depicted sincerity. He was not the same Jungkook which use to order around and get his work done.

"Yes.." i spat unconsciously as my mind could not resist the urge of saying yes.

Is he changing...?

"Thanks..." he got up after pinching my cheeks harder, making it red. I screeched in pain.

He started walking away from me and i gazed at him with my hands on my cheeks, rubbing it.

"Being soft always works..." he shouted and laughed before heading towards the staircase.

"Aish... yah....you..." i shouted and he chuckled.

"This bunny man...! he tricked me..." i facepalmed myself for falling in his trap.

"My bad, he is not a harmless puppy but a cunning bunny" i muttered under breathe and made my way towards the kitchen.

~~~

We were sitting at the dining table. The gang including Jungkook was astonished by the type of variety i served. They all were drooling at the sight which made me happy with the thought that they are already loving my cooking even before eating.

"Eun Ae what is your method to marinate​ the meat?" Jin asked as he filled his plate with the roasted beef pieces, tangy sauce and salad, his eyes were fixed on the pieces as he took the best ones.

"Seriously hyung are we going to listen to your tips and secret methods of cooking at the dining table?" Namjoon let out his frustration on Jin and the others chuckled while Namjoon received a bloodshot stare from him.

"Hyung just do your cookery show afterwards. Now let us eat peacefully" Taehyung complained and he shoved the strawberries in his mouth which were the part of garnish. I facepalmed as he did that. How can he even eat that instead of the main course?

"Arraseo Eun Ae let's discuss this after lunch" Jin winked and i agreed. I feel so connected with Jin oppa as if he is someone i know from years.

The whole time they were busy sharing their school and college incidents, laughing and mocking each others. I started feeling envious, i wish i had some friends like Jungkook. I completed my education from Seoul's top most school and college that too due to scholarships as i was a bright student. After i got admitted to the school i thought that i will be able to make some cool friends but i was wrong, i was teased and bullied because my father was not rich while the other students were from the well-known​ and rich families. I was always alone and same happened during my college days. I saw Jungkook who was smiling and laughing. His bunny teeth smile looks so cute and captivating. I really love when he smiles wholeheartedly like a kid i'll pray that the smile should never leave his lips.

"Hyung always tries to copy me" Jungkook complained after sipping the wine from the glass.

"But Jungkook i graduated first and also i was born in Busan before you" Jimin bragged after shoving french fries in his mouth.

"Hyung i fell in love and i married before you...!" Jungkook let out a wining smile as he defeated his hyung this time. He raised the toast and declared himself the winner.

"But still it's 2-2 Jungkook. You need one more point to win over Jimin" Namjoon added and picked the beef pieces secretly from Jin's plate as the older was engaged in the conversation and was taking keen interest in the fight. Namjoon noticed that i caught him stealing so he just winked at me and mouthed 'please'. I smiled and assured him that i will not tell Jin.

"Then i will became father soon Jimin hyung now that's 2-3 right??" Jungkook blurted out on which i choked my food. The others were looking at him, smiling from ear to ear. Jungkook soon realised what he just said as an awkward silence spread on the dinning table. My cheeks were burning in embarrassment.

"I think something is burning on the stove i will look for it" i said without even looking at them and ran inside the kitchen to hide myself from the situation.

End of P.O.V.

The others shared glances at each others, smiling at Jungkook's clumsiness.

"Do we have one more dish??" Jimin asked with surprise moulded with happy tone.

"Seriously Jiminie can't you sense the situation??" Taehyung rolled his eyes as his dear friend was not able to find out what exactly happened just now.

"Jimin you got no jams" Namjoon mocked.

"Hyung but i have abs and muscles" he bragged flexing his muscles. He showed his biceps and triceps from all possible angles he could. While he was doing this act his eyes were fixed on Jungkook. He made sure to make him feel jealous as he was working out hard now a days.

"Duh.. those are nothing if you don't have beautiful face and wide shoulders" Jin scoffed while rolling his eyes at Jimin.

"And what is the use of that washing board as you still don't have a girlfriend to show them" Taehyung laughed pointing his chopsticks at Jimin who had a sour expression now. The others burst into laughter.

"Jungkook i must appreciate your manly attitude.. that's great." Namjoon patted the maknae's back whose head was down as he was embarrassed about his statement. Namjoon saw how red Jungkook's ears were in embarrassment and he decided to tease the younger more.

He leaned forward to reach Jungkook's ear, "You know right? which door to knock if you want any advice related to this?". Jungkook gulped before looking at Namjoon who had a goofy smile on his face which made him to look away.

Eun Ae's P.O.V.

I ran towards the kitchen. As soon as i entered i drank full glass of water.

"Aish Jungkook this is so weird. What they must be thinking?" i mumbled.

'It is too awkward to face them' i thought.

I took a deep breathe and decided to go out as i cannot stay in the kitchen forever. With little hesitation i made my way outside. They looked at me with blank face but i could see they were trying to hide the smile. The moment was very awkward. I saw Jungkook who was silently eating without looking up.

••••

After dinner the gang sat on the couch while i was collecting the dishes from the dining table. I was very annoyed as Jungkook promised that he will be helping me but now he was sitting with them and having a happy time while i was working.

"Jungkook you wait...I will surely kill you for not helping me out" i muttered under breathe as i piled the dishes.

"Can i help?" a sweet melodious voice interrupted and i turned to see Jimin oppa standing infront of me. His eyes were switching​ from the pile of plates towards my eyes, back and forth continuously. A soft smile was formed on his full lips and his eyes beamed as if a star was hidden behind those. I smiled a little as i was not able to answer him. It wasn't the first time i was talking to him, we did talked on our wedding day but that was more like a formality as he was Jungkook's friend.

"No.. it's fine" i answered politely with a smile and got back to my work. I could clearly feel him standing behind me and probably his eyes on me.

"It's fine Eun Ae... I would love to help you" he said as he tried taking some dishes from my hand. I flinched a little as our skin touched.

"It's-"

"It's okay Eun Ae" he smiled and i noticed that his eyes disappeared forming a straight line when he smiled.

Oh he has an eye smile.

He followed me as i walked inside the kitchen. He sat on the counter after placing the dishes in the sink. He was shaking his legs involuntarily while his eyes gazing our kitchen as if it was his first time coming here. I glanced at him and i wore the gloves. His presence was making me feel weird as he wasn't expected right now with me when the boys were sitting in the living area but i ignored and continued. He kept on smiling shyly when our eyes interlocked and it continued for few minutes until he decided to break the silence.

"You....cook nice. It was delicious"

"Thanks" i answered. I noticed his cheeks had a tint of red shade. I wondered, are his cheeks naturally red or he is shy?

"Err.. can i ask you something?" his voice was creaky as if he was anticipating for my response. I thought for a second before nodding.

"Ac-Actually-"

"Oh...Jimin you are here?"

Jin's voice intruded and Jimin quickly got down from the counter. Jin walked towards us while his eyes went from Jimin towards me.

"Yea...i was kind of helping her.." he said with hesitation and nervously scratched his head.

"Okay..." Jin smiled.

"Fine...i'll leave..." Jimin without waiting for our answer left.

"So..doing dishes...? Mianhe... it is because of us right? Aish.. our maknae is no help.." he chuckled as he felt embarrassed after seeing the dishes and other utensils.

"Ani.. it's fine... i am happy that you all came and about Jungkook... i'll make sure he pays along with interest for leaving me alone" i showed him the gloves covered with foam and we both laughed.

"Oppa you wanted something?" i asked.

Aa... no nothing... i was just here to see you... well... i need to tell you that you can come to me anytime if you need help" he patted my head just like Hoseok oppa would do.

"Like when?" i raised my eyebrows as i was not able to understand what he wanted to convey.

"Aah... well you will know..." he said.

What he want to say? I was completely clueless but i can't ask him anything as i don't want to dig our own grave and get exposed.
