Soo-Ah's POV

16h00

"Yeoboseyo?" I greeted the person on the other end of the call.

My phone had suddenly been blown up with notifications and calls from unknown numbers, after speaking with Jungkook just about an hour earlier.

"Soo-Ah! You know Jeon Jungkook!? Why didn't you say so before dear?" My mother gibbered away in Korean.

"Omma! How did you find out?" I asked her, skipping straight to when my little rascal sister had told our mother.

"Your sister told me about it. She showed me the pictures online." She says to me in a casual tone, as if it was something as normal as asking me what I wanted for supper.

Ji-ah and her big mouth!

"It was supposed to be a secret omma! Please tell me you haven't mentioned  any of this to anyone yet?" I cried desperately trying to get her to understand that she couldn't tell anyone about this.

At least she was the type to phone me for confirmation first.

"Oh no... I've already mentioned it to the neighbours... " She confessed.

This right here, I why I didn't tell her yesterday. I've lost all faith in my mother. And I'm going to smack my sister for opening her big mouth.

Wait and see... I'll slip up on her Maths marks when my mother brings up the report card again.

She'd hid it from them, because she'd received a 40% on her mid-year report card at school. And for a young Asian girl, especially one who attended such a prestigious school, poor results were frowned upon in our community.

She'd been scraping a pass for so long, and her results had dropped since she became infatuated with Mrs. Next door's 18 year-old son, Woo-shik.

Hmmm... maybe I'll keep her secret. But she does need to up her game. Boys don't like stupid girls.

Argh! Now I sound just like my mother!

"Omma! I'll explain at home okay! I have a lot of work to finish now. Bye!" I hung up.

"Was that your mum?" Maddie asked.
"Yes." I sighed, massaging my temples.

"Let me guess... she's told the entire Cardiff community?" My manager smirked.

"Something like that... yeah... " I nodded. "Listen, about this whole thing, can you please not mention it again?"Maddie looked at me with more interest than ever before.

"Why not? It's so cool that you know Jungkook! Why haven't you said so before?" Maddie asked, looking at me like I've lost my marbles.

"Well... we only just ran into each other yesterday when that picture was taken." I carefully enunciated, not wanting to let my guard down.

"Oh... right. At the High Tea..." She nodded.

Thankfully, everyone had dropped the topic by home time.

19h00

Finally, it was 7pm. As agreed via text, Jungkook and I had decided to meet at a slight distance away from my house.

I crept out of my room towards the kitchen door, capitalising on the fact that everyone was currently glued to their favourite evening K-Drama on television.

I double checked if I had my copy of the house keys, my wallet and cellphone in my pocket and shut the door behind me.

It was safer this way. For him and well... also for me.

He's become an overnight sensation. It was so odd how this could happen to someone,  especially knowing that I was in the picture - and quite literally too.

"Hello my little celebrity." He greeted me with a huge smile as I walked up the street to our rendezvous point.

He'd been sitting on a swing in the middle of the park. It was quite fitting, since my surname was spelled that way in English.

"Hey JK." I say teasingly, taking a seat on the swing next to him.

He was dressed in black jeans, a black t-shirt with a matching hoodie, black boots and he also had on a pair of dark sunglasses. I wore blue denim jeans and a blue t-shirt, with just my regular spectacles. I didn't feel like wearing my contact lenses today.

"Hmmmmm... something is different about you today." He said to me, tapping his chin adorably.

"Nope. I haven't done anything new Mr. Jeon. Maybe it's because I'm not wearing any make up and I'm in denim. I needed to wear something comfortable."

"Hmmmm....  nope that's not it Soo-Ah." He says to me, studying carefully. "I know- you're wearing glasses! Wow!" He exclaimed, then grabbed my hand and pulled me up.

"Okay, let's go now. Can't hang about here for too long." He added more seriously.

"Where's your car?" I asked, looking around for it.

"I brought my bike instead. Hope you don't mind. I have a helmet for you too. Oh and you should take this as well. You don't need to worry, I'm a safe rider." Jungkook looked at me, reading my expression and handing me the jacket he's just removed.

"Wow! I've never ridden a motorcycle before!" I clasped my hands together in excitement.

"Really? Hmmm... all the better that you're with me then." He says and pulls me into a hug.

Hmmmmmm.... that's new...! But I like it!

Jungkook's POV

Soo-Ah is too cute.

Hmmm... she's a buyer? How interesting.

Oh... I better finish up this sculpture if I want to be on time for my date with her.

꧁•⊹٭🩷٭⊹•꧂

We made our way swiftly to the motorcycle I had parked in between the copse of trees, in a convenient hiding spot that I had spied on the perimeter of the park.

Soo-Ah looked beautiful with her glasses on. I didn't know that she wore spectacles. She must have worn contact lenses yesterday. The glasses looked really sexy on her and it made me feel things I couldn't admit to out loud.

"You parked it here? How?" She asked me incredulously.

"Ya! Soo-Ah, you doubt my abilities?" I joked with her.

"No, just the logic behind this." She gestured to the trees.

"I'm just being extra cautious. Before you know it they'll be kidnapping us or sending you hate mail." I explained.

"Ya! I have already received a few texts. Not sure how." She huffed, rolling her eyes at me as I helped her hop onto the bike.

"I'm sorry Soo-Ah. It's all because of me." I apologised, feeling responsible for all of this.

"It's okay. It's not like you intended these things to happen." She smiles at me. I could hear it in her voice as we rode off into the evening.

"No I didn't. But I do intend on us having a good time together this evening." I said, placing a kiss on her forehead.

19h30

It had taken us exactly fifteen minutes to get from her house to my studio with the bike. No one cared to bat an eye our way.

Thankfully, the helmets covered our faces - Soo-Ah had given me her spectacles for safe keeping.

After all, couples went on bike rides often, the famous JK wouldn't do that, now, would he?

We walked up the staircase to my studio - not the one at the gallery, instead I decided to take Soo-Ah to my private studio at home. I wasn't going to take a chance on the possibility of the vulture-like paparazzi ambushing us as we crept into the studio at the art gallery.

What if pictures of us together were leaked? It's bad enough everyone assumes she's my- well they assume she's already someone special to me.

And they aren't completely wrong.

I just need more time alone with her.

꧁•⊹٭🩷٭⊹•꧂

"Omg! Jungkook! This is even more beautiful than your studio at the gallery!" Soo-Ah breathed in sharply with excitement.

"I'm glad you like it. This one is more intimate. I actually never let anyone into my home studio. I feel like it's too personal." I replied in a low voice, walking up behind her and wrapping an arm around her waist.

What I really wanted to do was hold her from behind and kiss her neck...

What is happening to me?

I've never really bothered with women before. I've never had time for relationships.

But, with Soo-Ah, I want to hold her close and kiss her. I want to be with her.

Sigh... I wonder if we could date... I really like her.

"Thank you for sharing it with me." She blushed, understanding what I had implied.

"Are you hungry? I've ordered pizza and beer. Hope you don't mind the booze. I also have wine and Pepsi in the fridge." I gestured to the powder blue refrigerator behind me, which sat in the far corner of the studio.

I felt a blush creep up my cheeks as well. Maybe she did feel the same way about me?

"Oh! Sure. I- uh... I'll have a Pepsi oppa. I actually don't really drink much alcohol." She said, covering her mouth in surprise.

I gestured for her to take a seat at the counter near the fridge, while I grabbed two cans of cold drink and the boxes of pizza that arrived about 30 minutes ago.

"That's okay. I think I'll also stick to Pepsi. Did you have a good day at work? I mean, after my call." I asked, watching her as she sat at the counter, across from me, sipping her cold drink.

She's just an arm's length away.

I could reach forward and kiss her.

Stop it Jungkook! She's just a friend... I think to myself, scolding myself for being such an idiot.

"Jungkook?" Soo-Ah said, waving her hands in front of me.

"Uh-hmmm? Yes?" I exclaimed.

Oh shit... She was talking to me and here I am fantasizing about kissing her! Ugh I'm such a perv.

"Would you like me to help you?" She asked.

"Uh... No. Sorry. It's just I can't help admiring you-" I caught myself before I said too much.

I opened the first box of pizza and shared the contents with her. Somehow, the pizza tasted better with Soo-Ah.

"This is so delicious! I didn't even know about this restaurant." She exclaimed, licking her lips, unaware of how sexy she looked.

"I always order from them when I'm not in the mood to cook." I grinned at her.

Then, on impulse, I bent forwards and sucked the tomato sauce off her bottom lip.

Before I could apologise for the impulsive pervy behaviour, Soo-Ah actually kissed me back.

"I- uh... Let's do that again. Properly." I said to her, huffing slightly. My pulse had certainly picked up.

"Aha..." She hummed, her cheeks now crimson - the colour I guessed my face was too.

I took her by the hand to the sofa in the middle of the studio, we sat next to each other and immediately, I pressed my lips to hers.

I could kiss her forever.

A/n: Thank you for reading 😊

Fun fact as soon as I ended the chapter the song by JK with the same title as the chapter began to play on my playlist!

(After all the chapters are titled after all of Jungkook's songs).

P.s. Happy Belated Birthday to Jung Hoseok! (J-Hope of BTS who celebrated his 30th birthday yesterday).
