Till Death Do Us Part [Jungkook×Reader]

•26• Deserve Him

"I...I can do it." she whispered to herself as she got up from her bed and freshened up.It took her only a few minutes to gather the courage to reach the kitchen.She told the cook that she'd like to help.She tried to put together all the knowledge about anything she had which she could use to help them.Firstly,food.She liked to cook.So this morning, she prepared a few dishes with the help of the cook.

While doing that,she realised how many times she smiled at every effort she made and every small mistake she made.She was discovering happiness in the small elements of life.Then she helped the maids to set the table for breakfast.

All the guys started coming down for breakfast to which she quickly ran to the kitchen and hid behind the kitchen wall.She was excited but also nervous.As Jungkook came down, his eyes looked around for her and caught a glimpse of her peeking from behind the wall.She again hid herself quickly seeing his eyes wandering.

'Cute.' he thought to himself as he saw her.

He wanted to run to her and ask her if she's fine and all but now he knew, she needs to toughen up and open up on her own.He had done his part and will keep supporting her but she needs to get over her fears herself.

All the guys sat down but no one exchanged a morning greeting.No,they didn't even exchange a smile.But seeing such delicious food,they just dug in.

"Um.." Taehyung hummed in pleasure at the blissful taste.

Everyone nodded and kept on eating and automatically their moods changed.

"Yah! Taehyung-ah, tell that small brother of yours that today we have to go to meet our new allies for the deal." Jin said still focused on the food.

"Hm?" Taehyung said looking at him with his full cheeks for a moment as his was mouth filled with food.

"I know about it." Jungkook also said still focused on eating.

"Yah, just everyone.Don't forget that it's a very important deal so everyone better be present." Suga said now looking at Jungkook.

"Yah hyung, why are you saying that looking at me?" Jungkook nagged finding Suga's gaze on him.

"Just saying." Suga said and looked away snickering at his childish remark.

And it didn't take long for them to overcome that short period of unusual discomfort as they were again back to their normal selves.

They laughed together forgetting their worries and seeing them like that made someone's heart flutter.She kept on leaning her back against the wall with a peaceful smile on her face listening to their talks.But she jumped in surprise when sneakily a face appeared peeking at her,

"Aren't you gonna eat?" Hobi said in his angelic voice.

She looked at him surprised for a moment but frantically nodded her head finding him still looking at her.

"Then come or shall I send a carriage for you!" he said in a joking way and walked away.

She unknowingly laughed a bit at his comment making him look back at her for once and then again looked forward with a proud smile.
