NINETEENTH CHAPTER
2016

"we were a strange love. too wild to last, too rare to break."

//

Jungkook brings Sahar back to his mansion.

everyone knew it was coming. the rich exterior, the chandeliers, the wine cupboards, the extensive screens, the swimming pool and everything screamed glory and money.

Sahar tries to take it all in at once. she realises it's impossible to. she could never get used to the grand sight of what looks like a palace in her eyes. "what a nice place you have." she comments, meaning her compliment.

the female feels a strong arm wrap around her waist from behind, pulling her close as Jungkook's chin leans on her shoulder, hair tickling her ear. Sahar's surprise diminishes when she allows herself to fall into the comfort of Jungkook's abrupt back hug and lovely, lengthy arms.

"thank you for joining me here." Jungkook smiles against her skin.

Sahar rests her hand on top of Jungkook's around her waist. her thoughts are fighting for her attention- does he act like this with everyone? if he does ... her mission is harder than she thinks. she can't be another pawn in his game, in his expensive universe.

Jungkook removes his touch, moving towards the leather couch where he takes a seat. the young millionaire sits in comfort and delight, legs spread apart as if welcoming her.

"take a seat." his voice says, deep as his tone sounds.

"gladly." Sahar makes a bold move and sits on his lap.

Jungkook closes his eyes briefly and shakes his head, a stuttered laugh leaving his kissable lips. he doesn't touch her. "fuck, i wasn't expecting that." he admits in expected surprise.

"i know why I'm here." Sahar adjusts her position which makes Jungkook grab her hips, holding her still. his sharp glare makes her feel hot. fingers stroking her hips, teasing her with his touch on her thighs gradually. "are you intending to make me a two night stand now?" she questions.

"no." Jungkook replies immediately and slips his cold hand underneath Sahar's shirt, leaning forward to seduce her with fiery, tender neck kisses. of course, she's enjoying it too much.

"really?"

"yes. how does friends with benefits sound?"

seriously? Sahar gazes at him. it's better than nothing.

"nah, i refuse." but she's playing a serious game.

"why's that babygirl?" Jungkook hums in question, rubbing his ringed hands down her thighs slowly. he takes her hand in his, kissing her knuckles.

"i reckon i can make you have feelings for me." Sahar can't believe she's saying such things. she's trying hard not to cringe. at the same time, she's under the shivering spell of Jungkook's teasing touches and kisses. "you'll want me to mean more to you after that."

"is that a bet?" Jungkook pokes his tongue in his cheek.

"what? you think you can't fall in love with me?" Sahar teases.

"love." Jungkook picks out the specific word with deep thought. "what's that?"

it's what we've felt before. "you're an interesting man Jungkook." Sahar plays with his blonde hair.

"the bets on..."

Sahar can't believe she spent the night at a billionaires house.

she can tick that off her bucket list.

it feels unreal.

she sits on his neat bed, staring out to the view from the windows. the curtains revealing a scenic view of the city behind a large, rectangle glass.

Sahar forgets about the view of the street lights, grey clouds and buildings because she sees something greater. Jungkook coming out of his shower with nothing but a wrapped towel.

a great morning indeed.

glorious skin, wet hair- "stop staring."

Sahar looks away. "why?"

"paparazzi do that enough."

ah- Sahar sighs. she feels bad now. "yeah i'm sorry." she mutters.

"but you're allowed." Jungkook smiles and Sahar smiles back.

"oh i feel special."

Sahar's phone indicates a notification. two messages.

YOONGI
i haven't given u a daily hug
where are u

TAETAE
where are you? i'm going to work. you have your keys right?

"busy?" Jungkook's voice makes Sahar look up, eyes meeting as she takes in his now clothed figure. he's dressed so elegantly for a morning with her. she can't help but smile at the plaid trousers and black turtleneck.

"no not at all." Sahar puts her phone away.

"lets do something this morning." Jungkook suggests, taking her hand and making her stand up. he pulls her closer, touch igniting butterflies in her stomach as he smiles gently.

"what can we do at your mansion Jeon?"

"i know just the thing."

//

the enchanted couple (?) sit upon Jungkook's balcony, looking out to the city that's not fully awake.

they hold individual plates of breakfast that was served in a fancy manner, including everything the two of them enjoyed to eat. they sit opposite each other, legs knocking, hands holding delicate plates of food as they gaze out into the natural world- content in their own little, lovely bubble.

"this is nice." Sahar sighs, filling her stomach. she can see the forests of trees, the rounded streets and noiseless roads from here. people look like mere dots and she likes how isolated and alone it can feel. does Jungkook like it that way too? he seems like a reserved person which is why the lonely, desolated mansion is perfect for him and his independence and need to strive.

"the sunrise." Jungkook smiles, pointing to the circular sun greeting the city. it's as if a paintbrush gently smoothed across the sky, building layers of amber and lilac. "i love waking up for it." he mentions, unable to look away.

Sahar nods in agreement. she enjoyed those early mornings when she'd wake up before the sky, observing how the darkness changed to a pretty sunrise. "it indicates a brand new day right?" she suggests.

"yeah exactly." Jungkook smiles, looking at oblivious, wakeful Sahar without realising how fast his heart is beating. he finally feels like someone understands him and it's been a long time since someone came into his life with mutual, needed appreciation.

Hoseok, Jungkook's driver arrives shortly after. he strolls along the marble floors, eyes gazing out to the open balconies as he passes pillars.

dressed in a neatly ironed suit, he raises his hand in a wave- rings shining under the sunshine light, jawline sharp, eyes full of buzzing loyalty and polished shoes that bring him closer.

"good morning sir and Sahar." brown haired Hoseok smiles, greeting them in a comfortable way. the affection and loyalty between Jungkook and Hoseok is evident, making the girl smile.

"good morning Hoseok." Sahar greets. "keep smiling." although, in his and Jungkook's perspective, she hasn't known him long. Sahar has always admired the smile that graced Hoseok's lips and how he shines light.

when Hoseok smiles, Sahar smiles. then she notices Jungkook staring at her with observing eyes. he doesn't look particularly jealous but it's amusing when they make eye contact.

"what?" Sahar challenges. she notices that Hoseok is no longer here- he must have things to do, duties to fulfill. does he keep Jungkook company?

"youre interesting Sahar." Jungkook clicks his tongue. his blonde hair falls into his eyes as he gazes at her, shaking his head with a whipped grin.

"thank you." and Jungkook takes some of her food, munching away.

"rude." the female mutters. only Taehyung is allowed to do that.

the front door bell starts to ring.

"Hoseok!" Jungkook calls out, mouth full as he continues to munch on his buttered toast. "can you get that please?" he asks. sound of the bell still ringing- him not making any move to stand up and open the door himself.

"i'm in the toilet sir." Hoseok shouts out from somewhere.

Jungkook rolls his eyes. "hurry up then-"

at this point, the person at the door will be leaving! "oh sh .. i'll get it." Sahar leaps off the edge of the balcony, placing her plate down carefully.

"no babe, stay here..." Jungkook sighs and follows her.

Sahar finds the door by following the constant ring. she moves her hair out of her face before swinging the door open to reveal the guest.

"Taehyung?"

"Sahar?" Taehyung questions.
