Jungkook looked at her in awe. She looked so cute the way she smiled up at him and decided to himself that he too liked this strange mystery feeling. Just seeing her happy simply made him happy in return. Jungkook.

Jungkook was already a happy man but it was a special new kind of happiness he was feeling with Tzuyu. It was an unusual feeling. One that he wanted to treasure. In response, he smiled widely at her.

All of a sudden, he felt Tzutu move her hands and she crisscrossed them around his neck bringing herself closer to his chest where she rested her head then he heard her give off a contented sigh. She felt Jungkook stiffen up at first but began to loosen up soon after as he held her protectively against him.

"Tomorrow is the day, huh? We'll officially be married."

"Mm."

While they swayed to the music, Tzuyu quickly eased herself to face Jungkook, with pink tinged cheeks finding it hard to maintain eye contact.

"Jungkook... even though we're going to be married, let's please take things slow," she mumbled only for him to hear.

"Huh?"

She resumed hugging him again, expertly hiding her flustered face on his chest. Jungkook laughed at this.

"You're so cute, Tzuyu."

"I'm so cute," she muttered in a small, timid voice.

The ballroom was nearly empty now but without their knowing, they had a few spectators. Ms Chou and Mr Chou were sitting on one of the couches sipping on some small drinks as they silently watched the pair with small smiles.

"Well aren't those two the cutest?" Ms Chou snickered as she took out her phone to take a secret picture. She'll definitely tease Tzuyu about this later.

Rm, Jhope, Jimin, Taehyung,Jin and Suga also looked at the happy dancing couple from the doorway. They could be compared to an anchored boat swaying gracefully against merciful waves.

"Captain-Jeon sure looks happy," Jimin commented.

"Yeah," Suga muttered with a smirk slowly growing on his face. Even though he was madly jealous of Jungkook, it was nice to see him actually acknowledge the magical experience of having a romantic interest in a lady.

Jhope was still crying sputtering out how happy he was for Jungkook and denying the fact that he was crying. On the other hand, Jin was telling Jimin a story about how he once made the most beautiful woman in the whole universe fall in love with him with his awesome handsomeness.

V of course listened with stars in his eyes. Jin was basically the coolest person he knew besides Jungkook. Soon after, they all turned and left to go to their respective homes.

"This is nice," Tzuyu whispered before she yawned.

"Tzuyu-"

"Shhh..." He felt her nestle against him some more and as the music came to an end, he noticed that she had gone limp in his arms.

"Hey, are you asleep?" he asked as he turned his head to check. He paused when he heard light snores coming from her. He almost burst out laughing but stopped himself. Something was telling him that if he did, she would most likely pound him for waking her up.

He bent down and hooked an arm behind her knees and lifted her up in his arms. She was heavier than he expected but it wasn't anything that he couldn't handle. He looked around and saw her dad sitting by himself (Mr Chou had gone to the restroom) and walked over to sit down inches away from him.

He balanced Tzuyu in a way that she would be comfortable on his lap; her head resting on his shoulder and her feet laid straight on the couch. She was still snoring quietly much to Jungkook's amusement.

"How is she doing? You know, she had a fever just before coming here but she insisted on seeing you. It was our fault that she was late. We apologize."

"That's okay. I'm just glad that she's here. I was afraid that she wasn't going to show up but I'm happy that she did. Coming here despite not feeling well just shows how tough Tzuyu could really be... She's doing fine, by the way." Jungkook stared at her warmly as he spoke.

Mr Chou observed the way he looked at his daughter and realized just how much he cared about her. He cleared his throat causing Jungkook to look over to him.

"I believe that you have already realized that Tzuyu is loveliest when she smiles. It's the kind of smile that you want to capture and bottle up forever."

Jungkook nodded in agreement.

"She's a tough one who knows what she wants and will try her hardest to get it. Trust her, love her and whatever you do, don't take her smile away because if you do, you'll have to go through me," he cracked his knuckles, "And I won't forgive you."

"I promised her that I'll take care of her... Thanks for entrusting Tzuyu to me." Jungkook said with confidence. Mr Chou may be his dad's good friend but he was not allowing himself to be intimidated.

"Don't bother with him, Jungkook. He has a daughter complex."Mr Chou turned irritably at his returning wife. "By the looks of it, you are already doing a good job. Our daughter can be a stubborn at times; nevertheless, please take care of her." Ms Chou winked at him and reached to grab a hold of her husband's arm.

"We'll be going to our car now. When Tzuyu wakes up, tell her to meet us there. Don't be too long now. Good Luck!" She proceeded to drag Mr Chou behind her giving the two young adults some more time before they had to say good-bye. It was getting awfully late.

Jungkook watched them leave and redirected his gaze downwards after he felt movement. Tzuyu was stirring a bit and thinking that she was waking up he called out to her and shook her a little. A hand instantly shot up and pinched his cheek.

"Ow-ow-ow-ow!"

"Didn't I tell you to be quiet?" Tzuyu argued blinking awake.

"But Tzuyu!"

As her vision focused her eyes widened when she realized that she was sitting quite comfortably in Jungkook's lap. She took a look around only to see that they were the only ones left in the room and the music was long over.

"Where's everybody?"

"Your folks are waiting for you in the car. It's getting kind of late."

"Oh..." Tzuyu stared down grievously at her hands on her lap.

"What's wrong?"

"It's just that... I'm upset that we don't have more time to spend with each other tonight. It's my fault. I was careless, got this dumb fever and to top it off, I fell asleep. I'm sorry..." Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows then exhaled. He rested his head against hers and spoke to her reassuringly.

"Don't apologize. Coming to see me tonight even though you're not feeling your best meant a lot to me. You looked so cool running towards me that I thought that I was seeing things. But here you are." 'Hahaha'

Without warning, Tzuyu hugged his neck. Jungkook rubbed her back gently.

"I'll see you again tomorrow Tzuyu and a whole lot afterwards so don't be stupid." The hold around his neck tightened. Tzuyu was obviously trying to choke him off.

"Say that again and I'll kill you." She released his neck and he had a fit of coughing and laughing saying that he was kidding.

Next thing, he felt something warm and soft on his cheek. Tzuyu was kissing him; together with the way her hair tickled his face caused him to feel all tingly inside.

"See you tomorrow Jungkook." She eased herself off of his lap and started towards the exit. Jungkook watched her go and abandoned the couch to catch up with her. Tzuyu soon acknowledged that he had laced his fingers through hers.

"I'll walk you," he suggested nervously.

"I have a better idea," she hit his arm playfully and said,"Tag! You're it!" before turning on her heel and started running. Jungkook stared in astonishment at her fleeting back, chuckled to himself and gave chase.

"That wasn't fair, Tzuyu!" Tzuyu laughed in return picking up speed sensing that he was catching up to her. It was their final night before they were due to be married and she decided that they might as well have fun.

The best kind of love is a love born from genuine friendship. Those two will become conscious that it isn't just love that builds a successful relationship- It's trust.

A/N

And that concludes Chappy 9. Thank you so much for reading. :3

I don't mean to get all "Frozen" with any of you but love takes time and work. I'm not an expert in love since I've never been in a relationship but I have an idea. Let's hope that this factor doesn't make this story seem unrealistic. *crosses fingers*

Overall, thank you for your super kind reviews, favouriting and following. I strangely have more followers than favourites. What gives? If you like this story to the point of following, you might as well favourite it too! :D :D Just kidding.

Do what you like. Just knowing that people want to see what else I can knock out of this head of mine gives me encouragement.

I wasn't feeling my best this past week but now I'm back on track. Getting the points jotted down for this story is one thing but getting them in a good sequence has proven difficult. Eager for chapter 10? Me too! I'll work on it right away. Until next time. Chaozers!
