A Mutually-Assured Attachment ✔️

Part 23

~ 23 ~

The fancy restaurant was beautifully, and very lavishly decorated. Combined with the low lighting it was very often romantic with expected fresh flowers, tasteful artwork, candlelight, classical music, and linen tablecloths and napkins.  Similarly, guests are expected to contribute to the ambiance of a luxury restaurant by adhering to the dress code, which you and Jungkook clearly did.

Jungkook holds out the seat for you like a gentleman, making you comfortably seated and you take in the stunning view from the outdoor dining area, which offers a stunning view of the ocean and the sun setting, flooding the entire sky in a rainbow of orange hues.

"Alright," Jungkook grunts as he takes a seat and picks up the menu. He casts his gaze between the several pricey dishes, pondering what he's yearning for. "What would you like, princess?" He asks as he shifts his gaze from the menu to you, grinning.

"Umm..." you respond, still looking through the menu unsure. "I think..." You purse your lips, unable to choose between the two dishes that you crave. You had to choose one because you knew you wouldn't be able to finish both, but you really wanted both. "I'll take bibimbap, bulgogi and gimbap." You smile, finally able to decide but you were sure you weren't gonna finish any of it, it'll all be left halfway.

"Are you pregnant?" He gasps at your insatiable appetite today, clearly kidding to pass the time while you become upset by his statements.

Understanding the joke, you offer him an impassive expression "I don't think that'll ever happen if you're in my way." You scoff, snidely smiling afterwards.

Jungkook smirks, closing the menu just to sit back up straight and stare at you thirstily. "Don't say that," widening his smirk, he moves his foot closer to your leg beneath the table, stroking it with his foot in such a manner that it elevates your pants leg a little, causing you to blush and shiver slightly. "You're going to turn me on." His voice is gruff and seductive as he slips his foot farther up your pant leg.

You clench your teeth and kick his foot away, stamping it with your heels, shaking off the strange thoughts. "OW!" Jungkook groans and flinches his leg, striking with the table's underside and causing the table to shake slightly.

People stare in the direction of the noise everyone's eyes now on Jungkook so he coughs awkwardly, clears his throat, and sits up straight like a gentleman, allowing people to return their focus to their business. "Did that turn you OFF?" You laugh covering your mouth with your palms as you didn't want your laugh to come out very loud.

Jungkook, irritated by what happened, stiffened his jaw and death glared at you, getting back at his menu. "Is that all you want?" Jungkook's enormous doe eyes — that were twinkling with the gleam of the opulent chandelier — were now gloomy and hostile, as he cracked his neck by tilting his head in both directions. "No desserts?" Inquiring, he wanted to make sure you got the whole treatment and didn't go home hungry.

"No, that's all." You laugh softly, finding his childish behavior a bit adorable.

"What's so funny huh?" He looked up from the menu, glaring venomously which caused you to laugh harder.

"Nothing." You laugh.

Jungkook was about to say something when the waiter showed up with his notepad and pen. "What can I get you ma'am," he smiles at you and then turns to Jungkook, kind of taken aback by his expression. "Anddd...sir?" He chuckled nervously as he noticed Jungkook's gloomy eyes concentrated on him. It was clear he was already jealous but he tried very hard to keep that in and not show it because he pledged to change for you.

Jungkook makes the order while you silently sit waiting for him to finish.

"I had so much fun, princess," Jungkook grinned, gripping onto your hand as you both made your way to his car parked right across the street. "Thank you for today."
