Reflections in Your Gaze ⋆ Jungwon

⋆11

After reading the letter, Jiwon understood why Jungwon didn't want her to read it. "Stupid me" she cursed under her breath, feeling frustrated. She couldn't help but feel guilty for acting out towards Jungwon now that she knew the contents of the letter.

Quietly, Jiwon left Jungwon's room before he returned upstairs. She contemplated apologising for her behaviour, but upon hearing Jungwon on a call, she decided against it, not wanting to disturb him further.

As Jiwon started to develop a headache, she laid down and eventually drifted off to sleep. Jungwon entered her room to investigate why the house was so quiet, only to find her peacefully sleeping. A smile crept onto his face as he observed her sleeping form.

To him, she looked like a koala, and he couldn't help but find her utterly adorable.

Few hours later

Jiwon woke up feeling energised and made her way downstairs, only to find Jungwon getting ready to leave, putting his jacket on. "Where are you going now?" Jiwon inquired, glancing at the time.

"Got some last-minute work to finish," Jungwon replied casually, but Jiwon couldn't shake the feeling of scepticism. As Jungwon turned around to leave, Jiwon noticed a red mark on one side of his neck. "Did a mosquito bite you?" Jiwon asked, stepping closer to examine it.

"Yeah, a drunk one," Jungwon replied with a smirk before heading out, leaving Jiwon standing there, utterly confused. "Mosquitoes get drunk?" she pondered to herself, baffled by the idea.

Jiwon sank down onto the couch, deep in thought. Her eyes fell upon a teddy bear sitting nearby, triggering a flood of memories from the previous night. Suddenly, everything came rushing back to her.

"Oh no," she exclaimed, embarrassment flooding her cheeks as she buried her face in her hands. She couldn't believe she had forgotten about the events of last night, and the realisation left her feeling utterly mortified.

"WONNIEEE!!" Jiwon exclaimed, pulling him into a tight hug as he sat beside her with a bowl of soup.

"Jiwon, drink this," Jungwon urged, pushing the bowl of soup towards her. But Jiwon pouted at him and insisted, "You feed me," before bursting into giggles.

Jungwon couldn't resist her playful antics and relented, giving in to her request. "Here," he said, blowing on the soup before feeding her. He couldn't help but chuckle at her adorable demeanour.

"Ew, it's bitter," Jiwon complained, looking at Jungwon with a pout. Jungwon frowned, wondering why the soup tasted bitter when he distinctly remembered adding honey to sweeten it.

Before Jungwon could taste the soup himself, Jiwon grabbed his face and planted a kiss on his lips. At that moment, he didn't need a spoonful of soup to know its taste—it was sweet.

Jungwon's ears and cheeks turned hot as he blushed, unable to believe what had just happened.

"Jiwon, you liar," Jungwon exclaimed, shocked by her sudden drunken behaviour. But before he could react, Jiwon seized the opportunity and kissed him again, this time with more intensity and passion.

Jungwon was taken aback by the unexpected kiss, feeling a mixture of shock and confusion. He tried to push her away gently, not wanting to take advantage of the situation or escalate things further.

"Jiwon," Jungwon tried to say, but his words came out barely above a whisper as Jiwon continued kissing him, lost in the moment.

Unable to resist any longer, Jungwon surrendered to the moment and began kissing Jiwon back. Time seemed to slow down, and the only sound was the soft rhythm of their breaths mingling together.

Eventually, Jiwon pulled back from the kiss and looked at Jungwon with a smile, planting one last peck on his lips before bursting into giggles. Jungwon's face turned red with a mixture of embarrassment and shyness, overwhelmed by the unexpected turn of events.

Jungwon attempted to say something, but his words were cut off as Jiwon began kissing his neck. Despite his efforts to push her away, he felt weak, unable to resist her advances. He was immobilised, unable to move or stop Jiwon as she continued.

Breathing heavily, Jungwon let out a groan when Jiwon bit him. "Ouch, Ji," he mumbled, finally managing to push her away, his body jolting with the sudden movement.

"Jiwon, Jiwon, Jiwon, why did you do it?" Jiwon muttered to herself, her mind racing with thoughts as she jumped around. Despite feeling embarrassed about her actions, she couldn't help but smile to herself. She felt a sense of satisfaction knowing that she had seized the opportunity while she was drunk and kissed him.

It was her first kiss.

Jiwon hailed a taxi and instructed the driver to take her to Jungwon's location, using the location tracker she had downloaded on his phone. As they set off, the taxi driver seemed surprised by the destination, noting that it was an area known for the affluent and street racers—a fact that Jiwon was unaware of.

Jiwon reached the location amidst the sounds of numerous cars and spotted Jungwon's group from a distance. She saw Jungwon conversing with Heeseung, Jake, Jay, Sunoo, Sunghoon, and Ni-ki.

"So, I was the only one who didn't know about this?" Jiwon scoffed to herself, feeling a mix of surprise and annoyance.

As she began walking towards them, she was halted by security guards. "Ma'am, we need an ID before letting you in," they informed her. Confused, Jiwon insisted,

"Jungwon invited me," attempting to slip past them and approach Jungwon as quickly as possible. However, instead of taking her seriously, the guards burst into uncontrollable laughter, leaving Jiwon baffled.

Giving them a perplexed look, she was about to protest when Ni-ki intervened, pulling her back. "She's with us, don't worry," Ni-ki reassured the guards before leading Jiwon away, leaving the guards dumbfounded.

"What are you doing here?" Ni-ki asked, concern evident in his tone as he turned to Jiwon.

"Could ask you the same," Jiwon retorted, rolling her eyes at his question. Ni-ki chuckled at her response, remarking, "Some people never change," which only earned him a glare from Jiwon.
