Mysterious Marriage. || Jungkook FF. (Completed)

ch.26 A dinner for two

Jungkook’s POV:

I held the tall woman in my arms. I hated this. Yet, it was a easy enough excuse to hold the beautiful woman against me, right? Flashes of light went off behind us. Of course, we have to look good for the cameras. I’m glad she had chosen a decent dress for this dinner party. Last time she almost had a wardrobe malfunction and shown off some of her goods.

My goods.

It annoyed me just thinking about it. Shaking it off, or trying to, I focused on the blue eyes before me and noticed her makeup done up to perfection. Yes. She was perfect for the camera. Perfect to stand beside me. Regardless of how much we fought or she used me.

I deserved it anyways.

Her long blonde hair was straight and highlighted. It was a nice color I guess. She usually kept it that color or threw different highlight colors into it from time to time.

The music started playing and I sighed.

“My god, do you have to look so sour?” Lisa’s voice whispered to me, a frown on her face. I just narrowed my eyes at her.

“You know I hate dancing.” I replied with.

“Yes, just like everything else in this world.” She sighed and we both began to move with the music as we always did. Back and forth and side to side. This was the normal. Everyday the same. But I loved her, and she loved me. Things would get better once we were married, I was sure.

Yet, I ignored all the doubts that clouded my head and even my heart as I continued moving around with Lisa in my embrace.


XxX


I still remembered exactly how I felt last year at this exact dinner party.

Couples surrounded us. Most I knew personally, others I knew from afar. Even the Mayor was positioned with his arms around his wife.

Just like myself.

Though this time, my nerves were eating away at my stomach as I focused on the small woman in my arms. Our mid sections were touching, my one hand still clasping hers, and the other around her waist. Her arm was up with her hand resting on my upper arm, since it was harder to keep it on my shoulder. There really was a height difference between us.

Yet, even with all this uneasiness, her excited and confident eyes kept me grounded and actually a bit curious as to how this was going to play out. “Take it easy on me huh? A secret you care to share?” I asked her in a hush tone so that we weren’t being overheard.

Those lips of hers curled up into a smirk and I couldn’t help but smile a bit at it. It was cute. “Never underestimate me. I wear many hats, as you’ll come to find out.”

The music started playing, more flashes of lights went off behind us. It was almost like déjà vu, but those stormy orbs that were focused on me were unlike anything I had ever experienced in my past. This was all new, all different, and all…

Good.

As the cue from the music sounded, I took the first step I knew to take and began to lead her in the dance that I’ve done a dozen times. My eyes didn’t leave hers. Her feet moved swiftly and smoothly with mine. I raised a brow as I kept going with everyone else, and Yn dancing with precise movements. So she knew how to dance? Like… professionally? Where in the world did she learn to dance?!

I focused on my steps to try and make sure I was able to keep up with her. I couldn’t believe it, and yet even though she was proving to be more proficient in the dance, she allowed me to lead her in it. Yn wasn’t trying to overpower me or take control. She was still allowing me that position.

Did she have that much faith in me? Did she really honor me that much?

I hated it when Lisa had always tried to lead me in the dance, always acting as if I wasn’t good enough in it, and tried to guide me or pull me into being a better dancer.

Yeah, that wasn’t going to happen.

Damn, I really needed to focus or I would miss a step! That’s the last thing I wanted to do with Yn as she moved so amazingly around the dance floor. We were doing good so far, everyone also keeping up with the dance.

And that’s when it happened. My worst fear.

I missed a step.

Yn winced as I accidentally stepped on her toe. I held my breath and quickly moved my foot off of it. Shit. I needed to get off this dance floor. I couldn’t do this and embarrass myself more! I shouldn’t have even tried doing this! What was I thinking!? “I’m sorry Yn-“ I started to say and pull away, but was shocked when she refused to remove herself from me and smiled at me.

“Not so fast, Mr. Jeon.” Her sweet voice scolded playfully. Although everyone around us continued to dance and only a few looked at us, she stood tall and came closer. Her body against mine once again, she got herself in position. “Ready?”

“Yn-“

“Just from the chorus.” She winked. What the hell was that part? I swallowed my pride and much as I hated to do so, and allowed her to lead me with the first couple steps. Surprisingly we fell in step with everyone else with ease and within moments I was back to leading her once again.

“I didn’t mean to step on your foot. I’m a horrible dancer.” I told her softly in regret as we still danced. Yn’s smile, beautiful and loving, eased the embarrassment a bit.

“My mother always said that mistakes makes us human.” The soft expression on her face made me want to reach up and touch it, but I focused on the steps. “I miss her.”

“Did she teach you to dance like this?” I asked, curious. She hadn’t mentioned her mother too often, well, her parents in general. I wanted to know more about this woman of mine.

A soft chuckle left her lips. “Yes.” The grey colored orbs focused onto my face. “She would always put on music in the evening after dinner and have me dance with her. She taught me every kind of dance that she knew. A couple even made up.” I didn’t say anything right away. Instead I pictured a smaller more innocent version of Yn dancing in the kitchen with her mother. It was a sweet thought, especially since I didn’t have any kind of memories like that.

“Were you close to her?”

“Sort of.” Yn sighed. “We were when I was little. Then my father left and we kind of drifted apart a bit. That was one of the bonding things that we did together despite the distance emotionally. Of course, once I got older I grew to understand her more and we grew closer again. But of course, she was diagnosed with cancer… and well… you know what happened.”

“I’m sorry for your loss, Yn.” I told her, meaning every word.

“Thank you.” She replied. “What about you though? Parent’s still living?”

I frowned but didn’t stop dancing like I wanted to. This subject I never wanted to bring up. But she had shared something with me, I should at least give her something. I swallowed hard. “Both are dead.”

“Oh.” She lost her own smile as well. “I’m sorry to hear that.”

“Don’t be.” I felt my self and my voice grow a bit colder. I furrowed my brows and focused on anything but her face for a moment. “My mother overdosed when I was ten. Father was addicted to drugs and alcohol and was a mean cuss.”

When she didn’t say anything right away, I tried to keep the rising anger at bay. Still to this day, those memories of my family haunted me. Sometimes it still felt like yesterday when

“Are you an only child like myself?” she asked softly.

“No.” I quickly replied leaving the rest to her imagination. Before she could say more, the end of the song was near, and I moved her to give her a quick graceful twirl and as I pulled her back to me I gently held her and dipped her backwards, finishing the dance.

I pulled her up to stand tall, actually surprised that I enjoyed the simple dance with Yn, despite my mess up. I liked talking to her.

Everyone clapped to finalize the formal dance and I couple help but notice that Lisa and her ‘date’ was off to the side. She was glaring at Yn and I. What’s even more interesting was that I didn’t recognize the man that she was with. Did she already get rid of the man who she cheated on me with?

A few people started to walk back to their seats, including Lisa. I looked down at Yn and nodded at her, then went to go back myself as an upbeat song started to play.

Yn’s hand grabbed mine and stopped me. I looked at her with a raised brow.

“Where do you think you’re going?” she asked with a new mischievous grin on her face. Her eyes were bright with excitement yet again.

“The dance is over isn’t it?” I asked her confused.

“Ahh, that’s where you’re wrong.” She smirked. I just stood there and watched as she then began to moved her hips and dance along with the sounds of the music. My eyes widened at the sight of her. What was she doing? Did she still want to dance with me? I sure as hell didn’t know how to dance anymore than the one that I just did.

My eyes roamed down her body at watched as her hips swayed with the upbeat tune, her arms played off her body. What got me the most though was the joy that came over her face as she moved with the music.

Yn really enjoyed dancing.

God I was done for.

I had to admit that the way her body flowed with ease and happiness was turning me on.

What the hell was wrong with me?

Still frozen in place and focused on her, Yn made her way closer to me. She reached out and grabbed my arm again and pulled me closer. “Don’t tell me I have to get a couple drinks in you first to get you to dance with me some more.”

The nerves in my stomach came back to life. “I can’t dance.”

“Poppy-cock.” She laughed. “Everyone can dance. You just have to relax and move with the music.” She released me and closed her eyes. A smile on her lips, her flushed cheeks already alluring, she gave me an example of what to do with a demonstration.

Fluid motions. Sexy motions. Fun motions.

All with her eyes closed. Yn seemed lost in the beat and as if we were the only ones here. Luckily there were a lot of people still dancing as well, and the cameras were focused on more than just us.

Grey eyes revealed themselves and she held out and hand to me. “Want to give it a try?” she asked me with such encouragement that I couldn’t find it in me to refuse. This woman was really pushing me out of my comfort zone. I took a deep breath and took her outstretched hand.

The biggest smile came across her features.

That right there, along with the laugh that escaped her lips at my first attempt made it all worth it. “Here, follow me.” I was afraid at first, but she didn’t make me do any hips movements like she was. Instead she gave me simple moves that I actually grasped after a few minutes. “Relax, Jungkook!” she laughed. “Have fun for a bit! Let loose!”

Because I’m happy

With Yn by my side, this was actually fun.

Clap along if you feel like room without a roof

Something inside of me was changing. This felt so good.

Because I’m happy

Yn laughed some more as I started to let loose. It did take another shot or two though.

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth

Every moment with her, even now, felt so right.

Because I’m happy

I smirked as Yn did some dance move where she acted like she was a sprinkler. Everyone else seemed to disappear as I cracked a smile.

Clap along if you know what happiness is for you

“That’s the best you got?” I asked, surprising myself by acting like I was trying to start a lawn mower and began pushing it a bit.

Because I’m happy

Yn’s laugh filled my ears and went straight to my heart.

Clap along if you feel like that’s what you want to do
