One Rule! • JK x Reader•

48. Thank you

━━━━━━♡♥♡━━━━━

"Thanks" Jungkook mumbles as you switch your car engine off in the guys dorms underground car park; you have to admit you didn't want your time together to come to an end, especially knowing you'd convinced yourself, again for the umpteenth time that you have to push Jungkook away.

"You're welcome" you smile softly at him and he just stays still, silent, looking back at you.

It's happening again, your heart skipping a beat as the car park lights shine in his dark brown eyes making them look like they're sparking to make him look even prettier than he usually does.

Effortless!

"Y/N?" He breaks the silent moment between you.

"Hum?"  You answer dizzily.

Jungkook reaches his hand out and places it softly on your thigh, his thumb gently stroking over your black trousers; "are you okay now?"

His question throws you, his thumb gently stroking your thigh through your clothes, no idea what he's talking about until your mind gives you a quick flashback of yesterday, crying in his arms in your office; last night in your bed with him snuggled around you until this morning, it had all basically deleted you the memory, until this moment.

"I... yeah, Kook... thank you, thank you for everything, I feel much better now, I promise" and it wasn't a lie, you really did feel better after sharing his company for the last god knows how many hours, apart from now the thought of doing anything today without him being by your side is proving a little more difficult than you had anticipated.

But it's okay, he'll be there at least?

"You sure?"

"Yeah" you smile.

"Don't forget what I told you, it's okay to not be okay and I'll always be here if you need to talk, promise me I won't ever find you crying in your office again?"

His words make your breath hitch in your throat, "I promise"

"Okay"

"Okay"

He takes his hand from your thigh and you miss his touch almost instantly, because you know this is the last time anything like this will happen, so you take a risk; "Kook?"

He turns back to you, "yeah?"

"Thank you" you pull him into a hug, catching him off guard, tugging him closer over the gear stick and centre console of your car and he willingly gets dragged in; you hug him tight for a moment, feeling his arms go around you and his finger tips gripping at your back on your shirt to give you just as much hold right back.

These are the little moments you could stay in forever.

You stay like that, for a while until you begrudgingly pull away, "see you later" you smile and he gives you sweet smile right back.

"Catch you later" and with that he's out of your car and jogging to the elevator.

You quickly have a glance around the empty car park, starting your car again and driving away.

When you get to work it feels like all your energy is gone again, the lack of Jungkook's almost constant presence the last few days being felt; you really don't want to push him away, to be cold and closed off but you can't risk all this closeness with him, it's too much, it's far too close!

It's dangerous!

Grabbing your bag and wandering towards the building you take out your personal phone and see a text on the screen, from Jungkook.

'See you soon :)'

You smile idiotically at your phone, lost in the message, shit though, he shouldn't have sent it!

"Morning Y/N"

You almost drop your phone in surprise, in fear of being caught, "morning sir, erh, Sung Jin" you smile shyly fumbling to lock your phone screen before he has time to even register that there was any text on there and stuff your phone into your handbag.

"How's things? Are you enjoying being the relief manager?" He smirks and you give him a small giggle.

"Oh yes sir, everything's fine, today, do I just... would Beom over see everything the guys do or..."

"Yes, he'd mainly watch the practices and see how they're coming along, you have to go to the run through of the show with them, what times they're arriving, the time they're performing things like that" he smiles.

"Of course, do I have them times and things?" You question genuinely confused whether you should have them or not.

"I'll get them dropped off to your office this morning before the guys arrive, no sweat"

You nod respectfully at him.

"Y/N I've been meaning to talk with you, may I walk with you?"

You nod again, shy and dying inside in case this is about you and Jungkook, but how can it be, no one knows?

No one knows!

And what you and Jungkook?

There is no 'you and Jungkook!'

"Of course sir, how can I be of assistance?" You try to keep your voice as level as possible hoping the shakiness you feel to your soul isn't coming out of your mouth.

"Well, I was just going to ask if you'd settled in? How the guys have been treating you? I notice you get along with them a lot more than the previous assistant, in fact, better than any band assistant."

"I... shouldn't I?" You ask nervously, genuinely worried that maybe you're too close to them.

"Don't be silly, someone like you is exactly what I've been looking for to support Beom, it's nice to know that maybe if they see you as a sort of friend that they will confine in you"

You just nod staying silent.

"Y/N, I have noticed that you seem to be having a more positive effect on Jungkook..."

Your heart stops beating!

Fuck this is it!

"... I'm glad to see that he doesn't seem as exhausted and over worked anymore, he must finally be listening to someone, what's your magic?" Sung Jin let's out a giggle and you breath again.

"Oh... I, I don't know sir, he, maybe he's realised after all the years."

"No Y/N I do think it's down to you, I'm grateful that you've taken on the assistants role very well, anyway, I'll leave you to it, I'll get the papers sent to you, give me five minutes" he smiles and walks away as you enter your office not even having time to say thank you to him.

To be honest you're just glad that it wasn't about your relationship with Jungkook.

What relationship?

There is nothing with Jungkook!

This has to stop!

It's over!
