12: Starting From Scratch

Two days later, you were working on your novel when you suddenly thought of the project you did for your teacher. How he suddenly mentioned it. You looked at the number that he left, thinking that it was all a dream and not real. Suddenly you clicked on the call button and it started ringing. His voice made shivers go down your spine once you heard it.
"Hello?" He asked. He didn't have your number saved so he always answered random numbers waiting for it to be you one day. Now there you were.
"Mister Jeon, I want to try it. Us. I'd like to give it a try."
He smiled to himself knowing your voice and got excited as he said, "Jungkook, from now on call me Jungkook."
"Jungkook," you mumbled. "When do you have time?"
"Well, when would you like to go out?" He asked. "For me, the sooner the better."
"Today then," you said, which sounded a bit desperate but it made him chuckle. He was still in shock to have heard your voice again.
"Okay, today it is. I'll pick you up at seven."
And at seven he picked you up. You dressed up with jeans and a white shirt which was longer than what you'd usually wear. Then a jacket on top. Yeonjun wasn't home since he was out with some friends. You walked out and saw the same car that used to come by always. It was Jungkook's.
You closed the door and walked over to him. He had more casual clothes than when he was your professor. It was attractive on him.
"You've really gotten even more beautiful since last year," he said, making a tint of pink appear on your cheeks. He opened the car door for you to get in and when you did, he walked to the other side.
"I want to take you out to something unique. A nice dinner under the moonlight," he said as he started driving. "I hope you like it. It's at my house."
At his apartment, which was on the seventh floor of the beautiful building you've been at, he took you with him to the balcony which was really big and pretty. The moon could be seen from there as well as the pretty lights from the buildings.
"I'll be right back. You can sit on the couch if you'd like," he said and walked inside. You did as he said and looked at the pretty lights in front of you. There was a table right in front of the couch which was perfect enough for the occasion.
When Jungkook came back, he sat next to you and held your hand with a smile on his face, "I have a friend that made dinner for us. He will leave after we are done just in case we need anything."
You just nodded without saying anything which bothered him. He turned you to face him and you looked at his dark eyes once again. Then at his lips. He noticed how you looked at him and it increased his heartbeat so fast.
"Can I kiss you?"
He chuckled and said, "If you'd like."
You leaned in without hesitation and he kissed back immediately. His hand went to your back and pulled you closer until he heard his friend's voice.
"Sorry to interrupt but I think you'd like to eat up before the food gets cold," he said as you turned to him. Jungkook told him to bring in the food as you just smiled to yourself.
"And now you're smiling," he said. "Were you just waiting for a kiss?"
"Not waiting for it. I wanted that kiss."
He smiled and moved closer to you as he said, "I like you. A lot. And if you are looking for another kiss then I'll be willing to give it to you whenever you'd like."
You blushed thinking about it but then the food came up distracting your thoughts. You both ate in silence but it wasn't awkward since he didn't see you as his student anymore nor did you see him as your professor.
When you both finished, Seokjin came by and picked up the plates. He cleaned everything up and then made his way out, leaving you both alone.
"You live in such a pretty building. I love the view from here."
"Well, I love the view from here too," he said, making you face him. He softly kissed your lips and cupped your cheek. He backed off and smiled with his cute bunny teeth. "I'm the one that's wanting another kiss more than anything. I'm lucky to have found you again."
"This is real, right?" You asked, leaving him confused. "It's not a joke or just a game for you, right?"
He shook his head and held your hand as he said, "I wouldn't do that. I know it might be weird at first, I know. But what's wrong about it? You are an adult and I am an adult. Age isn't the problem neither is the occupation. This love isn't forbidden."
"I hope it doesn't go wrong. When I kiss you I mean it. I put my love into it. I don't want this to be a dream but it sounds too fake to be real."
"I get it, I get you," he said. "But just follow your heart. I promise you that there is nothing to worry about. It might be weird at first but I really wouldn't like this to be the last date I take you on."
"Are you planning on something, professor Jeon?"
He smirked and said, "I don't know. Am I Ms. Kang?"
You looked at him and just thought how lucky you were to be sharing such a sweet and romantic moment with him after so long. You didn't expect for quite a small crush to lead to that moment.
"What are you thinking of?" He asked, leaning in closer.
"Just stuff."
"Can I know what that stuff is?"
You shook your head and said, "It's better for it to stay in my head. It's better that way."
"Whatever you'd like," he said. "Would you like to stay over?"
"S-Stay over?" You asked, shocked and embarrassed thinking of the question. "Why would you ask me something like that?"
You suddenly started to fan yourself with your hand as he just chuckled.
"I was just asking because it's pretty late," he explained. "I have extra rooms. You could pick the one you would like to stay in. What were you thinking of?"
"Nothing, nothing," you quickly said, standing up. "Where are the rooms? I'll stay."
He smirked and stood up sneakily holding your hand and leading the way. He took you inside and to a room which was beautifully decorated and organized. He turned on the light switch as you looked around.
"I remember this room," you chuckled. "You really have a beautiful home."
"I'm glad you like it," he smiled. "Do you want to sleep now? If you have work tomorrow then I could take you."
"I'm free tomorrow so I don't have to sleep early."
"Good," he said. "How about we get to know each other now from scratch? You could get to know the other side of me as I could get to know yours."
"I'd like that. I'd really like that."
