No Strings Attached (Jungkook x OC)

Part 5: Letting Go

Present Time

You don't really know what you have until you lose it. And you don't really know what you lose until you find it. And you don't really know what you're looking for until it's discovered.

I scanned through the room, looking at each developed picture that I hung up on the clips. With a ball of string, I managed to transform my room into a room filled with memories and candids of pictures. All the pictures were clipped to the string, and managed to hang and stay put.

My eyes laid upon a special picture, I walked towards it and yanked it off of its clip. My finger grazed the figure that was captured in the moment.

She was sleeping with her head lazily laid on top of the dining table. Her arms were securing her head to keep her comfort on the wooden table. There was icing on the tip of her nose, and a single red velvet cupcake sitting right beside her.

"You look beautiful when you sleep.." I whispered to myself.

She did look beautiful when she was in her own slumber. I felt calm and relaxed whenever I see her fast asleep. It was her eyelids that made her whole face look innocent. Her eyelashes were as long as ever, all curled beautifully. My eyes trailed down to her lips, formed in a pout. Her lips were kissable that sometimes you would crave them whenever you missed them.

I turned the photo around to look at the written date. I frowned.

10 months.

I sighed, placing the picture back onto it's clip.

"I wish I knew that I was in love with you this whole time. But I guess I was just blind.. and so stupid."

Past - A year ago... (10 months into the fake relationship)

(Narrator's POV)

It was a peaceful afternoon, and the two fake lovebirds were settled in Jungkook's house. Seoyeon rummaged through his cupboards, searching for some ingredients that were needed for this new recipe that she wanted to try out.

Funny how Jungkook trusted her with his own kitchen.

"Are you sure you won't burn down my house?" He asked as Seoyeon turned around from the cupboard, giving him a reassuring smile.

"I won't burn your house down, trust me." She smiled, only to grin right after. "Unless, if I still hated you to death then I probably would."

He chuckled, shrugging his shoulders. "I guess I'm lucky."

"Nah, you're just my best friend." She cheekily smiled and he found himself smiling as well.

Jungkook took a seat around his dining table, staring at her as she struggled to find some flour and cupcake holders. He smiled at amusement, and it was almost as if he found himself stuck in the moment.

Her figure was tiny, and his figure definitely hovered over hers most of the time. She was different, she wasn't like any of those girls that he was friends with. They all would manage to make him feel like he was being used. But Seoyeon made him feel like he could be himself for once.. just like Haeun.

"Jungkook!" He snapped out of his trance and he looked at Seoyeon who had her hands placed around her hips. "Were you listening to me? I'm trying to find some baking gloves, do you know where they are?"

"Ah, I got it." He smiled nervously, walking over towards her and going onto his tiptoes to reach the baking gloves that were hidden at the back of the top shelf.

She looked at him, her heart starting to beat as fast as it could just by how close he was to her. She could hear his own heartbeat, his chest pressing against her ear. Seoyeon bit her lip to stop herself from blushing like a tomato.
