"Hey—oww!" Jia chuckled as she held onto Yoongi's forearm tightly when he lifted her off the ground while embracing her.
"You are such a good pianist. I am so proud!! And you worked on the violin as well?" He asked amazed at how she had made that happen. Jia couldn't help but giggle at how adorable Yoongi looked with his gummy smile, very contradictory to his normal snobby self.
"Yeah..It took quite a while. Did you like it?" She asked while rubbing the back of her neck.
"Like it? You crushed it!! It was brilliant!!" Yoongi said as he hugged her again.
"We are waiting too you know?" Taehyung remarked with his hands on his hips as he gave Yoongi a glare.
"Fine." He pouted as he stepped aside and Jia was immediately engulfed in the hugs of three people who were tightly holding her.
"You looked so beautiful!" Jimin said as he kissed her head.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Jia thanked as she touched all the places on her head that Taehyung , Jimin and Jisoo had kissed her.
"You deserve all the praise." Jin said as he stepped forward and gave her the bouquet he had bought for her.
"Wow!! This is so beautiful!!!" She beamed at the pastel pink roses as she held them to her chest.
"Just a small gesture of congratulations to the beautiful lady." He said as he hugged her.
"Thank you so much." She shyly sniffed the roses.
"I have got something as well." Namjoon piped in as he placed a small box on her palm while he held it open.
"What is this?" She asked curiously.
"Open it." She held the bouquet out for him to hold as she unfastened the bow on the box.
"What." Jia gasped as she stared at the music box. It was a beautiful vintage looking brown wooden music box that had golden designs on the frame and fit perfectly in her palm.
She immediately took it out and wound it up as it started playing one of the classics.
"This is so precious!" She exclaimed as she hugged Namjoon tightly.
"Thank you so much." She sniffled making Namjoon giggle.
"You are precious to us." He said making Jia blush.
"Can we go eat now? I am starving!" Hoseok whined as he lifted Jia up, who squealed on being carried to the car.
"Eyy.....tsk." Jin clicked his tongue as he followed them all.
"Good night Jia!!" Jisoo hugged her tightly.
"Good night you all." Jia tiredly waved at them.
"I will take her back to the hostel." Jungkook said as they all broke up in two groups after finishing up dinner. Jungkook had been painfully silent and that had not escaped Jia's eyes. With a few words here and there, he had kept his eyes on her the whole dinner. But nothing in words.
"You never told me what you thought about my performance." Jia said as she held on to his arm that was already holding her other hand.
"I would rather show you." He said as he tightened his clasp on her hand. Jia could feel his muscles flexing as he tightened his grip on her hand.
"Hmm..." she just hummed as she sat through the whole ride back to her hostel in silence in Jungkook's car. He was silent as well and she couldn't help but take advantage of this for gawking and mentally praising god on how he had made such a perfect man.
She had always wondered how lucky she had been to stumble upon him. And the most amazing part—he loved her. She could already see how her family would be so happy to see and talk to him. Jungkook was the best. But then, her thoughts would put a comma when she would think what he would think when he knows of her family. He would probably want to run away.
"Come on." His fingers clicked the buckle of her seatbelt as it undid itself. Before she could open her door, he was already striding towards her. With her heels in one hand, Jia turned to put her feet down but she was already being sweeped up in his arms as he held her close to him with one of his arm clasped behind her knees and one behind her lower back.
"I can walk, you know." She said as she traced his jawline with her finger.
"But I won't let you." He said as he walked up to the elevator. She obliged by pressing the button to the second floor where she had her room situated.
"If Mrs. Mariah sees you, she is going to kick you out." Jia said receiving a glare in return.
"Nobody will see me. It's 1 am. She is probably asleep. And who would tell her? You?" He raised his brow at her. Jia chuckled before shaking her head.
"Thought so."
"Are you mad at me?" She asked as she pulled in closer to him, making her nose touch the side of his face. The gentle yet evident fragrance of his after shave lotion lingered in her nose making her inhale deeply and tell her that he had actually made an effort to shave his stubble no matter how cute she found it.
"Very." This made her open her eyes as she looked at him.
"Why?"
"You were wearing this sexy dress while playing that damn piano and I was forced to sit and gawk at you like a complete fanboy. Can you understand the little problem I have been handling down there all night?" He said making Jia giggle as she snuggled in more into his neck. This was something she had not expected. A kiss landed on her temples making her look up to see him giving her a small but magnificent, scrunched up nose smile.
On reaching her door, Jia opened the it with the key from her purse. Once they were inside, Jungkook gently placed her down. Jia kissed his cheek before turning and moving forward when his hands grabbed her from going any further into the room.
"I can't stop thinking about you all the time." He whispered as his arms brought her closer making her back collide with his front. An audible hiss made its way out of his throat as he closed his eyes.
"I love you so much." He said as he kissed her shoulder and made his way gradually higher as he kissed up a trail to her ear. His hands made their way to the zipper on the back of her dress as he undid it with ease making it bit a loose.
"You know I love you, right?" His voice was muffled as his hands skimmed down her arms, holding the dip of her waist, while he kissed her head.
"I love you too." Jia whipered while panting as her hands held his head as he kept abusing the skin on her neck.
Jungkook was in the bliss of the moment. He wanted to forget the part where he had to think about being away from this particular human who had grown on him so badly that being away from her made something as easy as breathing hard for him. He expressed how in love he was to her that night. His emotions although were all over the place but when he was in her embrace everything fell into place automatically.
But why wasn't it falling at the right spot the same way but crumbling from within this time?
