The Bet (Jikook Story)

Chapter 39: To Our Surprise

Narrators POV :

"Jungkookie." Jimin calls, turning his body to face his lover who was sleeping peacefully by his side. Jungkookie doesn't budge. "Wake up, Jungkook." Jimin shakes his arm, but Jungkook was still. Jimin furrows his eyebrows, determined. He tries 10 more times, but Jungkook just snores. Jimin sits up. "JUNGKOOK WAKE UP BEFORE I HURT YOU."

But Jungkook still did not wake up. Jimin pouts in frustration, when an idea pops into his head. He sits on top of his lover with his legs on either side of Jungkook, straddling him. He pokes Jungkooks chest a few times. Nothing. Jimin bounces a little on Jungkook. Nothing. But when Jimin leans in and gives Jungkook a kiss-

"Morning Jiminie, " Jungkook yawns. Jimin looks at him in disbelief. "Nice view," he winks. Jimin pouts and attempts to climb off of Jungkook, but Jungkook pulls him back onto him and into a kiss. Jimin, of course, kisses back. He couldn't stay mad at his Jungkook.

Jimin lays back down on his side of the bed, staring into the ceiling. Wow, Jungkook is so beautiful, he thinks. And for a split second, another thought comes into his mind. How could someone like him love someone like me?

A knock sounds at the door. "Breakfast is ready, make sure you're both fully clothed wink wink!" Jungkook facepalms as Jimin giggles.  They were still at Jungkooks grandmother's house. They both get up and walk downstairs. They sit next to each other at the dining room table.

"Are you ready for today, Jiminie?" Jungkook asks. Mr. And Mrs. Jeon did a little asking around, and got the court date bumped to this Wednesday. Today. Jimin sighs.

"Yeah. I need this over with, and I need to know he's where he should be. Behind bars. " Jungkook gives Jimin a quick forehead peck.

Jungkooks POV

Halmeoni walks into the room with plates of Kimchi friend rice. Well, correction, mountains of kimchi friend rice. And she had the nerve to say "hope this is enough, hope you enjoy." Like no no no. Halmeoni, honey, this is heaven on a plate. I will DEVOUR this beauty most humans call 'food'.

"Um ....Jungkook?" Jimin snaps in my hands. I look at the food that's is now right in front of me. When the heck did that happen? "You were smirking at your food is there something going on here?" Jimin asks, playfully.

"It is lookin' foine. " I raise my eyes at my plate. Jimin doesn't seem to like that.

"What about me Jungkook?" Jimin pouts. Ah, nuuu what have I done!? I look back and fourth from my breakfast and my boyfriend.

Shit.

"W-well.....I-I"

"Jungkook!"

"I'm kidding, you know there's nothing as beautiful as you. " I wink at him, his cheeks turning a bright crimson and he tries to hide it by shoving food in his face.

Jimins POV:

After Jungkook inhales his food, we decide to then go get ready for trial. My nervousness clearly showed as I help Jungkook with his tie. 

" Jimin?" Jungkook calls. I hum, making sure the tie is perfectly tied and put in place. I flatten the tie out way too many times against his chest while Jungkook looks at me with worry etched on his face. He cups me cheeks, and my hands fall to my sides. I can't look him in the eye properly, my mind was off into various places and nervousness spread through my veins. "My Jimin, look at me please." 

I slowly bring my eyes to meet his dark ones. I stare at them for a second, not sure what I want to say. "Jimin, are you sure about this?" Jungkook asks me once again. I nod my head slowly. "I-i don't want you going to the stand if you really can't bear to see him again...I don't want you to go through that pain when you see him I-" 

I cut Jungkook off with a peck on his cheek. "Thank you, Jungkook." I say softly, and I give him a small smile. " As long as I see you there I will be fine. " Jungkook lets out a sigh of relief. He looked more nervous and worried for me than I did. It's crazy that un this period of time, Jungkook had changed so much... Because of me. A slight blush makes its way to my face.

We then make our way to the front door, and Halmeoni was nowhere to be seen..... "Jungkook, where's Halmeoni? "

"I'm not sure... Maybe she's in the car, my parents are outside to pick us up. "

"Oh, okay. " My nerves calm a bit more. Jungkooks grandmother was so sweet, and she knows what she's doing. Her intelligence makes her my new role model.

We walk towards the door, and before I could reach it, Jungkook opens it for me, and I thank him. Eeeeeeeek what a gentleman. To my surprise, Halmeoni wasn't there either.

The ride there was silent, with Jungkook holding my hand and rubbing soothing circles on it. I mean, it was pretty soothing.

We reach there and, to my surprise, once again, I see more news reporters than I expected. This wasn't a new case, but I didn't know it was that public, so I thought all the press wouldn't be here. It made me even more nervous. I didn't want my name and face all over..... Especially if I don't win this case....

Jungkook steps out the car and hurries to the other side to get me out. I could get used to this. When I step out of the car, he immediately wraps an arm around me protectively, and I place my head on his shoulder. All the news reporters personal questions I couldn't hear over Jungkook whispering in my ear. Things like 'it'll be okay Jimin, and ' you got this you're strong'. And it made the airplanes in my stomach fly ten times faster, aiming straight for my......Heart.

We make it inside the large building. We walk through the halls to a door, and Mr. And Mrs. Jeon take my hands and escort me in. Jungkook sits in a seat in the front, and I take a seat at the very front next to the judge's table. Jungkook winks gives me a smile.

I liked that I could see him from here, so when I start to feel nervous I can look at him and it'll all be okay.

I take a deep breath as everyone else starts to come in. The judge, the jury, and......

Him.

I felt a shiver down my spine as well as a surge of hate, when I see that boy who ruined my life. He was now sitting with a sly smile on his face, and cuffs on his hands.

My heart stops for a split second, the memories deep in my brain we're daring to be resurfaced. My breathing starts getting heavy as my eyes desperately search for Jungkook's beautiful and caring ones. I didn't lock  eyes with him because.....Jungkook makes it seem as if he was scratching his head......but I could see the finger heart directed towards me.

Jungkook you amazing adorable creature you.

I sit up straight , as confidence now striked through me. I didn't know how long it would last. But one more look at Jungkook, and I knew it would be okay

Mae-Sin's lawyer was sitting right next to him with a black suitcase. I noticed right away the lawyer was one of the people he threatened into working for him.....

I look at the empty seat where my lawyer was supposed to be in.

I noticed right then and there that I hadn't even seen my lawyer. Jungkook's parents were the ones who got me a lawyer, but I haven't met them yet..........

My anxiety started up again. I think Jungkook could sense it, because he followed my gaze to the empty lawyer seat. He looks at his parents, who give him a quick smirk before returning to their duties. Jungkook looks back at me, confused.

Our confusion turned into surprise when we saw a familiar figure taking their stand where my lawyer was supposed to be.

Jungkook's grandmother winks at me, her black suitcase swinging in her hand.
