Summary: You and Jungkook have been through everything together. You were his best friend even before he got his bad boy reputation and you’re even closer now. You’ve been there for him through it all, but now it’s his turn to be there for you during a rough time.
Genre: angst. fluff, smut
warnings: morning sex
“Hey… It’s me. Could you come down to the lake? I don’t really want to be alone right now.”
It was a cry for help. Of all the people in all the world, Jungkook was the person I came to for things like this. He had a way of getting me out of my own head.
I sat at the edge of the lake, feeling the cool breezes counteract the hot sun. The only place I felt safe right now was my usual spot by the water. As a kid, I’d hang out around here with my best friend Jungkook, or Kookie as I’d call him. If anyone else called him that he’s burst into full-on rage.
I closed my eyes and tilted my face toward the sun. I jumped when I heard screeching tires against the pavement from afar and looked to see Jungkook’s car racing into the parking lot. I sighed to my self and watched him walk toward me.
“Must you always do that? You’re gonna ruin your tires.” I said rolling my watery eyes.
“I have a better question. Why are you out here alone?” He sat down in the grass next to me. “What’s wrong?” He asked. I sighed to my self and lowered my head. “Babygirl, look at me.” He leaned in, trying to catch my gaze and I finally looked up at him with red, puffy eyes. “What did he do?”
He already knew it was the jerk I was dumb enough to fall for. “We broke up…” I confessed.
His expression softened into a look of sympathy and compassion. He sighed and placed his arm around my shoulder, pulling me into a warm hug. “I’m so sorry.”
I nuzzled in closer and let the tears flow. He didn’t try to contact me for days and then he just calls me out of nowhere and tells me we have to ‘talk’. I’m not sure if he wanted to let me down gently, but it just turned into the worst day ever. We’ve been together for years and I thought we’d be able to stay together, but he had other plans.
*flashback*
“Hey! Why’d you want to meet here?” I asked as I walked around the corner and saw my boyfriend standing there by the lake. He looked so nervous while he sat down on a bench by the shore. He patted the seat next to him and I willingly accepted the offer.
“Y/n… There’s no easy way to say this, but… I found someone else.” He said slowly.
It felt like my heart dropped to my stomach. I was in complete shock. Why did he want to meet here of all places? The place that we shared so many good memories to just be destroyed by this one. I felt the tears gather in my eyes and I covered my face with my hands, unable to make the tears stop.
“I’m so sorry.” He whispered.
I summoned up the courage to ask him the burning question and spoke, “Is that the reason you’ve been ignoring me? So you could be with her?”
“…Yeah-”
“Oh my god!” I got up from the bench and ran away. I couldn’t believe he ignored me for days to try and figure out of the other girl was ‘worthy’ instead of just calling it off with me.
“Y/n. Please wait!” I heard his voice behind me and I stopped.
“No! You completely abandoned your girlfriend so you could try and start a relationship elsewhere!”
“You know what?! You’re not very different from me. You honestly think all those times you blow me off to hang out with your little guy friend isn’t abandoning me either? I’m done trying to compete with him for your attention! So go! Be with him. I know for a fact that’s who your gonna call!” His face turned bright red while he practically screamed at me. My heart pounded in my chest out of anger and a little bit of fear. I’ve always been terrified of being left on my own with no one to help me. And now the one man who promised to be there for me is gone.
“We’re done. Completely.” I said calmly. He crossed a line and now there’s no coming back from it. He huffed and turned away, leaving me isolated once again. I pondered his words over and over in my head.
“I know for a fact that’s who you’re gonna call.”
He’s absolutely right. Because Jungkook listens and understands me. We’ve been inseparable since kindergarten and I know he’ll be there for me no matter what unlike the guy who was supposed to love and trust me.
*Present*
“Kookie can I ask you something?” I lifted my head off of his shoulder and looked him in the eyes.
“Anything.”
“Have you ever thought of our friendship as something more?”
“Honestly, yeah, I have. I come to you with more things than I have with my past girlfriends because you know me. We’ve been together since before I can remember.”
I hung on his every word. I understood what he was saying completely. “And I know your, now ex, was jealous, but I was jealous of him from time to time. He was hanging out with one of the greatest girls I’ve ever known and it did get to me a little.”
“Jungkook…” I looked back to the ground and he lifted my chin to meet his stare.
“I know it seems hard to get over at this point but he’s going to be the one to regret it. I don’t even know that other girl and I can still say without a doubt you’re better, Y/n. You’re amazing.” I could tell by the looks on his face while he spoke that he meant every word. I smiled at him shyly, and he came a little closer, his eyes moving from my gaze to my lips, and back up.
I didn’t even hesitate and just kissed him for the very first time. My heart went from shattered to feeling brand new. His hands held my waist pulling me closer. His right hand moved to the side of my face, turning me slightly and lowering me to my back. He twisted his body to hover over me without breaking our kiss.
I never thought his lips would feel this good. He tasted so sweet and inviting. I’ve never felt this way when I kissed my ex, but then again, he never kissed me like this either. There’s passion with Jungkook and I didn’t want it to end. I pulled him in closer, leaving no space between us.
“Mmm- wait. wait.” Jungkook broke away and sat up. Oh god. He’s rejecting me. Once again I was going to be left on my own. “Not like this.”
“Not like what?” I felt so confused and upset for the second time today.
“Y/n, you’re my best friend.” Here it comes. He’s gonna try and let me down easy. “But I don’t want to just be friends. I’ve wanted this for the longest time, but I’m not just gonna have sex with you in the grass by the lake where you just got dumped. A girl like you deserves more than that.”
“Well… What did you have in mind?”
“You said that this place had lots of happy memories but he ruined them because of all this. So let’s go somewhere that has better memories. A place that can’t be ruined.”
He got up and held his hands out for me. He helped me up and we walked to his car. He drove us to our old elementary school and we both got out and walk to the playground.
“What’s happening? This place looks so weird with no one around.”
“Come here.” Jungkook held my hips, moving me closer to the swing set. I burst into laughter when I realized what he was doing. “Right there is where that punk kid pushed you off the swings and made you fall on your ass.” He walked two feet away from me and turned. “And here is where I beat him up for you and got put in timeout for the rest of the day.
"Our teacher had to move a little table into the corner so you could play with your legos.” I smiled.
“That was when I decided to defend you… from all bad things. And that’s why I’m still here now. You’re worth so much more than what he did to you.” My eyes fogged up and a tear trickled down my cheek.
“No… Babygirl, don’t cry.” He rushed to my side and wiped my tear. He tucked my hair behind my ear, making me quiver. I leaned my head toward his touch, missing the feel of his embrace and he pulled me into a hug. “You’ll always have me. I promise.”
I slowly let go of me and I looked him in the eyes once more. The look in his eyes was so pure yet intense. “How do you do that?”
“What?” He said to my random question. “How do you give off this bad boy attitude and yet when you talk to me it’s like butter can’t melt in your mouth. You become a total softy.”
He shrugged and looked at the ground. “You’re one of the very few people who see the real me, and I guess when I’m around you, I can be real.” I stepped closer to him and hugged him.
“Thank you for this. I really needed it.” I nuzzled in and his arms held onto my shoulders firmly. My ear pressed against his chest, letting me hear his heart start to beat faster. I looked up at him and his expression relaxed into a subtle smile. I leaned toward him, kissing his soft lips again.
The second he kissed me back I felt weak in the knees. His hands cupped my face and deepened the kiss. I wanted him, I needed him, and I knew he needed me too.
Jungkook broke away and looked at me once more. “Do you feel better?”
“Much better…” I replied. “But, uh… Is it alright if I stayed at your place for the night? There’s just a lot of stuff that reminds me of him at my apartment and I don’t want to deal with it right now.”
“Of course. You’re welcome anytime.”
We went back to his car and drove to his place while the sun disappeared into the night. By the time we reached his apartment, I felt so exhausted. It was as if my whole world came crashing down and then rebuilt in mere hours.
Jungkook was nice enough to let me borrow a pair of his sweatpants and sleep in his bed. I laid here for a while and started to feel a little cold. There was no way I could sleep with all these thoughts in my head.
Are Jungkook and I a couple now? Isn’t that exactly what my ex-expected of me?
I was taken from my thoughts when I heard a knock at the door. “Hey. Are you decent?”
“Yeah,” I said with a smile. He walked in and headed for his close. “Just grabbing an extra blanket.”
“Oh, kookie. You don’t have to sleep on the couch. Here. Come lay with me!” I patted the side of the bed and he smirked.
He climbed in next to me and I snuggled into his chest. He wrapped his arm around me and played with my hair. “You know, I thought you would be asleep by now.”
“I know. I’ve been staring at the ceiling for a while.” My eyelids started to get heavy, but I still wasn’t that tired. “Kookie, can you sing to me?”
“What? Why?” He asked with a small laugh.
“How is that funny? You used to sing all the time.” I remembered that after school we’d always hang out at the park and He’d sing when he got bored and had a song stuck in his head. “Come on. ANy song. It’ll help me sleep.”
Jungkook thought to himself for a moment and sighed. He got up off the bed and went to the closet, pulling out his guitar. I propped my head up on a pillow and got comfortable.
He tuned the strings a bit and started to play. I smiled when he started the first few cords to Jason Mraz’s Lucky.
“Do you hear me, I’m talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I’m trying”
I was way too tired to sing the other part but he just kept going with the chorus.
“Lucky I’m in love with my best friend
lucky to have been where I have been
lucky to be coming home again”
It only took a few more seconds for me to drift off. My eyes closed and my breaths slowed down, but I could still hear Jungkook putting away his guitar. I felt so protected here with him, not just physically, but emotionally. I know he won’t break my heart or leave me the way my ex-boyfriend did.
I was nearly asleep when I felt Jungkook’s soft lips press against my forehead. “Good night, babygirl.” He whispered.
When I woke up the next morning, I turned over and realized I was pressed against Jungkook’s chest. I tried to be discreet as I shifted in his arms. His grip on my waist loosened and he rolled over on his back. He looked so peaceful when he slept, but I couldn’t resist giving him a kiss good morning.
I ran my hands up Jungkook’s toned chest and kissed his neck, just as his veins started to show. His eyes flew open and he rolled on top of me. “If I didn’ know any better, I’d think you’re trying to get me all hot and bothered. Maybe I should do the same.”
His hands gave me goosebumps as they moved up my thighs, hooking my leg around his hip to get into a good position. “Mmm, babygirl. You’re mine now.” He smiled at me and I giggled back, wrapping my arms around his toned shoulders. “I’m all yours.”
“Finally.” He whispered. I leaned up to kiss his lips and he pulled back quickly. “Wait.” He reached over and opened his nightstand, grabbing a condom and a mint. I broke into a fit of giggles when I saw what he pulled out of the drawer. “What?” Morning breath is a huge turn-off.“
"I love how you just had those in your nightstand though.”
Jungkook just shrugged at me, “You never know when you’ll wake up next to a beautiful girl.”
After preparing himself better, he smashed our lips together and slowly thrust into me. My mouth opened with a small moan, giving him the perfect opportunity to slip his tongue past my lips. I could taste the sweet mint flavor on his warm tongue. Our bodies pressed together as we both came closer to our climax.
“Oh, god I’m gonna cum!” He groaned while trying to hold himself back.
I held onto his upper back, clenching my walls around him and screaming, “Cum, baby. Give it to me!” With those final words, we both hit our highs at the same time, moaning and riding our way through our orgasm.
By the time we came back down to reality, I still had one thing on my mind. “Kookie?”
He got off of me and pulled me into his arms. “So, are we actually together now?” I asked him.
“Well, yeah. I didn’t do all that just to stay in the friend-zone.” He said. I laughed at his little comment and hit him playfully. “Really though, I’m yours as long as you’ll have me.”
I smiled up at him and gave him another kiss. I can thank my lucky stars that I have someone like Jungkook to pull me out of the dark moments of my life and remind me of the best ones.
THE END
