The Little Brat's Sweet And Sassy || LK Adaptation

𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑪𝑳𝑿𝑿𝑰𝑽 (𝟏𝟐𝟏𝟐-𝟏𝟐𝟐𝟏)

Jungkook heard the faint sound of his heart splitting open and reverberating in his chest.

It was as if all the images and sounds had shattered and been annihilated at this moment. They intertwined into a gust of wind that continuously flowed in through that opening.

He put the painting down and stepped forward to wrap his arms around her waist. He held her tightly in his arms and kissed the tears at the corner of her eyes.

His movements were very gentle, and his cool lips fell on her with a restrained and forbearing gentleness. It was as if he was holding a fragile glass doll in his arms and he was afraid of hurting her.

She seemed to be more transparent than the candy jar.

However, her tears were so hot that they almost burned through to his heart.

She raised her arms and wrapped them around his slender waist. She sniffed the cold cedar scent on his body and gently rubbed the side of her face on him.

So many years had passed, day and night, from her past life to this life.

She had fallen in love with someone, but she had not dared to let anyone know. She had buried it as the deepest secret in her heart.

After that, he had come to pick her up, stayed by her side, and said so much to her.

Finally, she had understood his feelings.

But it had been too late.

Later on, she had opened her eyes and found that she had returned to the age of seventeen.

Then, she had met him again.

He had protected her, backed her up, stood up for her, and even gave her the candy in his pocket.

Everyone knew that Jungkook liked her.

How could she not know it too?

She had already known it a long time ago.

However, the more evident it was, the more she had not dared to speak out her thoughts.

It had been enough for her to remember those things and memories alone.

She had not wanted Jungkook to know.

She had wanted Jungkook to always be that proud, noble, languid, and unbridled Jungkook that she knew.

She wanted that version of him instead of the Jungkook who had hugged her and coaxed her, softly begging her not to sleep again and again.

However–

It turned out that he was sick.

It turned out that he had already given her that business card.

So she was not the only one who had not been able to forget him after all these years.

Now that she had finally confessed everything, the stone in her heart was finally lifted.

Originally, she had thought that it would be difficult to speak about this, but it had actually been easier than she had imagined.

She leaned against his shoulder, closed her eyes, and softly said, “Jungkook, I’m a little tired.”

She had never felt so relaxed before, but at the same time, she had never felt so tired before.

“I’d like to sleep for a while.”

He tilted his head and kissed her between her eyebrows.

“Alright,” he said.
