Jungkook glanced around when he thought he heard someone call his name. He shot up on his feet. That voice sounded a lot like Tzuyu's . He looked down the staircase and blinked. Ahead of him he saw her running up, charging towards him. His heart danced. Jungkook was so relieved to see her; to finally see her.
Upon arriving to where Jungkook stood, Tzuyu stationed herself a foot in front of him. She looked down feeling extremely unsure of what to tell him.
"Jungkook, I-I'm so sorry that I'm late. You see, I-"
She was cut off when she felt Jungkooks arms surround her and draw her near into his chest; one arm draped across her shoulders and the other wrapped around her lower back.
He had his face in her hair and breathed a sigh of relief. She could also feel him trembling a bit. Tzuyu was surprised. She certainly did not expect him to hug her out of the blue, especially not like this. Her face was flushed.
She was glad to just see him but being in his arms nearly sent her crazy. His captivating warmth enveloped her, causing her to feel safe, warm inside and most of all loved.
He smelled almost as she expected; like meat but he was wearing cologne which smelled like ginger and sandalwood. She liked it.
Tzuyu slowly reached up to hug him back but instantly paused and pulled away; her hands on his chest.
"Jungkook, let go- I'm sweaty from running over here." Her head was bowed a little in embarrassment.
Jungkook regarded her with a raised eyebrow and just held her again even tighter when he felt her struggle against him only to give up since he felt her circle her arms around him.
He smiled with contentment and closed his eyes. The world could end now for all he cared. He finally felt complete.
Reveling in each other's arms going on to a good 6 minutes, Jungkook sensed that something was aloof. As if something was flying towards them at an incurable speed. He stepped to the side with Tzuyu in tow, opening his eyes to see Jin leg slide pass him and the owner of said leg crashing into the wall of the house. Tzuyu, frightened at the sound looked over her shoulder while still in Jungkook's arms only to see the blond guy she passed in the garden earlier.
Jungkook was needless to say, pissed. The nice moment he was having with Tzuyu ended way sooner than he wanted.
"Hey Jin! What is your problem?!" he unwillingly released Jungkook and walked over to where Jin now stood, dusting off his suit and proceeded to light another cigarette.
"My problem?" Jin reached out and grabbed Jungkook's jacket collar and began to shake the living daylights out of him while shouting at his face.
"Why on earth was this gorgeous angel all wrapped up in your arms!?" he seethed. 'Why does this idiot captain always get the favour of the ladies?' he raved. 'Wasn't he supposed to be getting married soon? Wait...it can't be.'
"Angel? What are you talk- Oh! You mean Tzuyu!" Jungkook beamed with a huge grin on his scarred face.
Tzuyu who was left standing alone was wondering about what the heck was going on the moment the blond-haired man grabbed Jungkook. She could not really hear what was being said but by the looks of it, she deduced that they were friends. They acted so used to each other. After a while, she saw Jin drop Jungkook , found himself in a corner and began to sulk.
Jungkook looked over at him with furrowed eyebrows, shrugged and got up to straighten himself.
Suddenly the door opened and out piled the rest of Jungkook friends: Taehyung , Jimin, Suga and Namjoon. Jhope had to stay back inside to provide music for the party but he made sure to send his regards.
"Hey, Jungkook," Jimin said, "We all came out here to cheer you up."
"Okay-okay, you got us," declared Taehyung, "That was a rich lie, Jungkook. I should have known that you were bluffing all along. I'm the King of Liars after all!" His eyes were closed and he rubbed underneath his nose, one hand on his hip with a triumphant look on his face.
"What do you mean? Tzuyu's right here," he announced pointing over at her.
Taehyung looked over to where Tzuyu stood and his jaw dropped and his eyes bulged. Standing before him was indeed a girl- a beautiful one in fact and to top it off, she was not wearing a meat dress.
Jimin hurried over to Jungkook, tossed his arm around his shoulders and dragged him away from the others, probing him for details.
Felix left the group and approached Tzuyu. She straightened up and had a defensive look on her face. Rumour had it that Felix was a dangerous man and the last thing Tzuyu wanted to do was let her guard down.
Felix stood in front of her and observed her carefully. Clearly, he was impressed. She was easy on the eyes and actually had a tough aura about her.
"Tzuyu, right? Listen, I'm Jungkook's best friend, Felix. I've known Jungkook for 4 years now; way longer than you have. What makes you think that you are worthy enough to marry him?
"I know that his family is practically loaded and he is kind of easy to manipulate. Just what are you planning on gaining by going through with this marriage?" Felix glared at her.
"What are you? His mother?" Felix eyes twitched.
Tzuyu placed a hand on her chest and stared directly at him, a displeased look on her face. There was no way in hell she was going to allow a pea-brained idiot to look down on her like that.
"I'd have you know Mr. Felix, that I didn't agree on this marriage- we did. Our parents may have arranged this engagement for the sole purpose of financial security but it wasn't up to them to have the final say. We are extremely lucky to have found each other. I am fortunate to have met him. Jungkook is important to me. I like him for who he is; not for his money."
"Give me a reason why I should trust you."
"When have you never trusted your best friend?"
Felix's eyebrows rose and his eyes widened. He then stared at her with a smug look on his face and closed his eyes.
"Take care of him for me." he muttered as he moved to walk by her.
'This Tzuyu woman, though a witch is surprisingly not bad,' he thought as he made way inside to chug down the few beers he had Brook guard for him then he'll probably take a nice relaxing shut-eye somewhere in one of the rooms.
See you in the next chapter =)
