THE CEO | JEON JUNGKOOK FF ✅

Chapter 18

They walked around ******Castle where the exhibition was interesting and took a pleasant stroll in its garden. Next was at the oldest landmark-, with more than 1900 years history.

The last place they went to was the biggest Korean-******Garden, where they stopped for a while to enjoy tea in a traditional tea room.

Chaeyoung opened her purse to give Jungkook the ticket for their fashion show. Jungkook smiled and said, "I was about to purchase one on my own, cause inviting me took you so long. I just thought about surprising you with my grand attendance instead."

He was obviously complaining that she invited him just now.

"It's still early. You're just not used to waiting, are you?" She said simply and sipped her green tea with Korean confectionery.

"Why do you even like me?" Chaeyoung suddenly asked out of nowhere.

She still couldn't believe that Jeon Jungkook would like her in a short span of time like that. Not that she was saying it's impossible, but he was Jeon Jungkook, how come he trusted her so easily and liked her to this point. She was not that dumb and clearly felt his sincerity towards her.

Jungkook shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do I need to answer?"

"Don't answer if you don't want to," Chaeyoung reacted with pouted lips. She remembered the same trending words from him when she asked about his engagement with actress Jennie. Just this time, at least, the word 'nonsense' was not included at the end of his sentence.

Jungkook laughed and returned the same question to her, "Why do you even like me?"

"Who said I like you?" Chaeyoung answered. She was only teasing him. Jungkook looked at her closely. His gaze was so intense that Chaeyoung couldn't take his eye to eye contact.

She smiled and spoke enthusiastically, "Okay. I like you because you are a handsome and sexy boyfriend, as you declared a while ago?"

"That's all?" Jungkook complained while he looked at her intently.

"Hmm, what else? Because you are good at kissing, you smell nice and you are quite the sweet, good and caring boyfriend so far?" Chaeyoung added giggling.

"How about me? Why do you like me?" Chaeyoung asked once more out of curiosity.

"Come here and I will tell you," Jungkook said while gesturing her to sit beside him. Chaeyoung followed and looked at him as she waited for his reply. "Move closer," Jungkook instructed with a devilish smile.

Chaeyoung frowned as she saw Jungkook's wicked smile. Before she could stand up, Jungkook swiftly embraced and kissed her.

"Because you are naive," Chaeyoung heard him murmur between his kisses. That moment, she felt like her body was suddenly splashed by cold water. She felt that the word naive didn't suit her at all.

She erased the negative thoughts out of her head and just enjoyed Jungkook's warm lips against hers.

It was their sixth day of knowing each other, and the third day of being officially in a relationship. As what James had mentioned, it could be considered as a whirlwind romance, because everything was happening too fast.

Today was her sister's transplant operation day, and she was waiting for her mom's call to tell her the status and outcome of the operation. She could actually call her mom and ask but she was a little bit nervous. Her pitiful, little sister undergone such hardship at an early age. She hoped and prayed that this time around, Jinhee could start a normal life and enjoy her youth.

She released herself from his intense kissing then she cupped his face and looked Jungkook in the eyes.

'I am really sorry. I promise to make it up to you in the future should our paths come across once more.' She wanted to voice it out but held herself.

Instead, she kissed his cheeks, nose, eyes, and forehead, then lips. She basically showered him with sweet little kisses all over his face.

Jungkook was flabbergasted. Thus, his face unexpectedly reddened. Chaeyoung smiled, seeing him act like a teenager who had been harassed by the girl he liked. This side of Jeon Jungkook was probably unknown to others and she was glad she's been able to know and witness this side of him.

---------------

"You should sometimes try to act like a normal citizen so you can experience how it's like, traveling with simple people or like a simple one." Chaeyoung was giggling as she dropped those words to Jungkook.

They went back by bullet train once more, but this time with others occupying the rest of the seats.

Jungkook no longer commented and just cuddled her during the entire trip. It was his first experience of traveling with a lot of people and hearing their chats. He was born in a strict and very rich family. He was well pampered as a child and could be considered as 'royal blood' because of their family wealth.

He grew up as a calculative person, and there's no room for mistakes.

Their family owned one of the largest and most diversified conglomerates, engaged primarily in business that served a growing middle class with rising disposable incomes worldwide – the JJK Summit Inc. Group of Companies. But he didn't want to get involved with their messed up family matters, so he put up his own business-Ramada.

Chaeyoung was right; being a simple and normal person was not a bad experience at all. Especially, when Chaeyoung was around him, every experience was memorable and fun.
