THE CEO | JEON JUNGKOOK FF ✅

Chapter 28

"Here, drink this," Chaeyoung gave a bottle of energy drink to Jungkook, who was now sitting on the sofa. Jungkook held her hand to look at the ring on her finger.

"Just wanted to make sure you are wearing it." He said in a serious tone, then he winked at her. Chaeyoung answered him by making a face.

"You just sit and watch TV a little. I will just get dressed." She turned on the TV for him. However, Jungkook pulled her onto his lap instead.

"But you already wear your robe. That's good enough. Just stay here for a while." Jungkook complained like a child, and Chaeyoung couldn't help but laugh at him.

"You're like a child. How old are you anyway? Stop pouting that lips haha. You're such a flirt." She commented while blushing.

"I never flirt to anyone but you," Jungkook grinned and hugged her tightly. He rested his head on her chest.

"Do you know that I don't believe in marriage? My parents got married because of an agreement between their families, so I'm practically born out of an agreement and not because of love." Jungkook blurted out all of a sudden.

Chaeyoung touched Jungkook's hair, gently caressing and stroking them as she commented, "So, it's basically the same as in dramas. But I've heard that love can be developed in a span of time, so I'm sure your parents already love each other by now, though you may not be born out of love, you were surely brought up with their love."

Jungkook smiled, Chaeyoung's remarks were true. He was dearly loved by his parents.

He hated how his parents were like robots, doing things for each other out of pure duty. If somebody looked at them, he could basically describe them as friends, but definitely not under the category of lovers. Probably, it was the main reason he was the only child. They just stopped trying as soon as the heir was born.

That was the reason he didn't believe in marriage. It was just a paper to tie down two people. It was meaningless to him until Chaeyoung came because he desperately wanted to tie her down with him.

Jungkook raised his head and looked at Chaeyoung, then he asked out of curiosity, "Do you want to get married?"

Chaeyoung smiled at him and Jungkook's heartbeat raced irregularly with just that simple, sweet smile of her.

"Of course, I want to get married someday, but not today," she answered with a jest.

She could feel that something was bothering Jungkook and it was about his family. She chose not to ask him but rather she would just listen well if he needed someone to talk with.

Subconsciously, Chaeyoung leaned down to place a gentle kiss on Jungkook's forehead. "Don't think too much about it and just rest here for a while." She whispered as she pulled his head onto her chest and gently stroke and caressed his hair.

"I want to bring you to my place. Let's live together." Jungkook suddenly murmured, before Chaeyoung felt his heavy breathing. He seemed to doze off in that position.

Chaeyoung sighed then she quickly moved to get out from Jungkook's lap as she gently placed him down the sofa and put the square cushion under his head.

She heard her phone was ringing in her room, she quickly ran to pick it up, hoping it was James.

She let out a sigh of relief, seeing Jame's number as the caller ID.

She told James everything and he cursed several times.

James: "Oh God, I was not aware of that, I am really sorry Chaeyoung. I'm the reason you are in this kind of situation. I should have checked on it deeper first."

Jame's voice was so worried, she could even hear him crying while continuously cursing himself for being so stupid and not checking everything first.

Chaeyoung: "Don't blame yourself. It's my choice, James. Besides, your intention was just to help me out. This is beyond your control. No one probably knows what kind of Boss Lina has. I am even grateful because my little Jinhee is alive right now and lively. If I haven't got myself into that contract, Jinhee might have been dead by now and my father would have surely rotted in jail for a very long time too."

She heard a noise outside her room so she quickly bid farewell to James and hung up the phone.

She walked outside to check on Jungkook and he seemed to be sleeping peacefully. He was just laying on his side now.

Her sofa was big enough to fit them both, so she ended up hugging Jungkook from behind as she buried her face on Jungkook's nape because she loved his scent very much. She kissed his nape as she said, "Goodnight." Then, her eyes became heavy and she closed them with a smile on her face.
