Jungkook's POV:
I'm wondering how to face him after what I told him yesterday.
I don't know what made me say something that embarrassing, ahh.
I slammed the punching bag hard with my fist, hoping it would get my anger out but it only worsened when I felt his scent getting through my body.
"Morning." his deep voice caressed my ears.
I cleared my throat and faced him, trying so hard to hide my embarrassment. "Morning." I answered with a smile.
"You woke up early today."
"Yeah, I was just feeling so energetic." I lied.
The truth is that I haven't slept last night, I just couldn't.
"Great then, here is your breakfast." he gave me my juice.
I quickly wiped my tears with a towel and opened the bottle. "Uhm..Hoseok made it, right?" I asked even though I knew the answer.
"Yeah, as usual."
"I see.." I nodded. "Uhm.. can you make juices?"
How stupid I am.
"Uh.. yeah I guess." I could see confusing on his face.
"Well, starting from now on, can you prepare it instead?"
"You want me to prepare your breakfast?"
"Yeah.." I blushed. "I just.. I just wanna taste it."
The hell have I just said?
"I-I mean!" I widened my eyes. "I mean you never cooked anything for me so.."
"Oh." he smirked.
Damn that smirk is going to be the death of me.
"Well if you want so." he shrugged. "Why not?"
"Thanks." I smiled and invited him to sit on the couch.
I silently drank the mixture while he was simply watching the TV.
We stayed this way for long minutes before I decided to break the silence.
To be honest, I didn't know how to start.
"Do you.." I hesitated. "Do you want a choco bar?"
Facepalms.
"Sure." he answered before taking the cereal bar from my hand.
I bit the inside of my cheek to control myself and stop my body from getting hotter than normal.
I quickly took a glance of him while he was watching the new Marshmello music video.
I will admit that he looks hella gorgeous with that sunlight over his eyes.
I remembered how close our faces were yesterday, I could see the beauty of his tigre stare piercing my eyes, that cute mole he has on the tip of the nose and those lips..
He suddenly turned around and caught me staring at him.
I gulped.
I was so embarassed, so shy..but my eyes couldn't leave his.
We kept staring at each other until our eyes shifted to their original color.
He cleared his throat and broke our eye contact.
I took a deep breath.
"About yesterday.." we said at the same time.
"Y-you can start." I said.
"No, just start you."
"Alright.." I nervously rubbed the back of my neck. "Well.. uhm.. what I told you yesterday wasn't a joke you know.." I started playing with my hands to avoid his stare. "I..I really want our relationship to grow.. I mean we're kinda close now but I want more." I gulped.
I shyly lifted my head and found him looking at me with his almond-shaped eyes. "Jungkook." he said.
Every time he says my name, I feel shivers running through my body.
"Let's just admit that we are mates." he added.
I widened my eyes. "You knew?"
He chuckled. "How can I not? I mean.. just look at my eyes, I'm not angry or anything but why are they suddenly yellow?"
"Because you're in front of your mate." I whispered.
"Yes, being in front of you, next to you, too close to you, makes me feel this way." he mumbled, his eyes not leaving mine.
I don't know if it's normal but my heart was beating with an incredible speed.
"Uhm.. you must be disappointed.. that I'm your mate." I mumbled. "I'm sure you would have wanted someone better than me." I tried not shed a tear.
I smiled to him. "It's okay, I really understand it."
He gave me a death glare.
Scary.
"Who said that?" he asked.
"Uhm.. I don't know."
"Jungkook." he chuckled. "Where is your confidence?"
He is right.
All my life, I was alone, only surrounded by my servants. I couldn't make any relationships, I didn't know how to make friends so I never thought good about myself.
"I am lucky." he said, helping me chase my thoughts.
"What?"
"I am lucky that you are my mate."
He smiled.
Oh god, he just.. he just smiled to me!
"Why though?" I blushed. "I'm not as cool as Hoseok, I may be an Alpha but I'm so weak."
"Hey." he rolled his eyes. "Stop underestimating yourself." he said. "First of all, you should know that nobody's perfect, everyone have qualities as much as they have flaws. I do have a lot of flaws to be honest. You don't have to make yourself look small because of this, you should find the strongest thing in yourself. And I can tell you what it is." he added before gently taking my hand between his. "You're very kind Jungkook and I'm serious. I saw other Alphas treating their slaves and servants really bad.. they would hurt them physically and deprive them of their freedom. But when I came here, I swear no one a part of my brother has ever treated me this well. You.. made me feel like I was a member of your family."
I couldn't help but let a tear fall from my eye.
This is the first time I ever received a compliment from someone apart of my late mother and my older brother.
His words really touched my heart and it made me very emotional.
"Because to me, you really became a family." I told him.
"You care about others and it's not something given to everyone. There are people who pretend to care but don't actually do it, or the ones who think they care but they just hurt you but you really worry about people. Like the time you ran to check on your brother, someone you haven't talked to for months or years, but you care about him anyways. You cared about me, a complete stranger and took care of my hand when I got hurt, this isn't nothing."
I smiled and shyly lowered my head. "This is very nice." I whispered. "You saying all these things.. just made my heart skip a beat haha." I nervously laughed. "I never imagined you would see me like this. Knowing your character, I imagined you would want someone better to be your mate, someone more charismatic, more handsome and-"
He didn't give me a single second to finish my words when suddenly leaned closer, cupped my cheeks with his warm hands and kissed my lips.
I froze, from both nervousness and excitement. We parted as he rested his forehead on mine. We both close our eyes, breaths shaking. "I don't care about anything Jungkook, because I like you." he said in barely more than a whisper.
"Y-you like me?" I felt my heart burst inside my chest. "For real?"
"Everything about you." he answered. "Every quality and every single flaw." he added before gently leaning in and kissing my lips once again.
