--
You handed the bag over.
“This is it.”
“T… Thanks.”
The cold stung your cheeks. Around your neck was a dark green and black plaid scarf, thick layers shielding your heart that was exposed to the winter thanks to your open parka. Your hands returned to their tucked position in your fleece-lined pockets. You smiled, ever so slightly.
“You look pretty. The short hair suits your face well.”
She reached up to touch the tips of the chin-length bob, wispy front bangs framing her gentle eyes, not quite looking at you. You noticed her short nails were painted a light shimmery gold, suiting the holiday season. Her lips pursed and she breathed in deeply, looking straight into your eyes.
“Don’t say stuff like that. We’re not together anymore,” she said decisively.
“Ah… right.”
You left the smile on your face.
Right, because you could no longer compliment a person after dating them and then breaking up with them. Rules of some code apparently you didn’t get the memo for. The breeze whipped around your body, chilling moments as you stood at the doorstep of your former lover, feeling a strange kind of satisfaction seeing in her shiver in her fuzzy cream sweater and fleece pajama pants, complete with ivory fur slippers. But those thoughts were cruel to think and so was the bitterness.
She glanced at you.
You felt bad, seeing the glisten in her eyes.
In a box labelled donations in your apartment, there was a knit scarf, checkered peach and cream, the note included long gone, probably in a trashcan. Last Christmas, that scarf had been in silvery wrapping paper with a white silk ribbon, the package shaking in her hands and accompanied by a nervous smile, handed over for you to open, seeing the note first and then the handmade gift.
I love you above the handiwork of love.
It wasn’t the very next day, but you were still giving it away.
“I hope you have a nice holiday,” you said, bowing lightly.
“A-Ah, yeah,” she stuttered, clutching the brown bag of the few sweaters and joggers she had left at your apartment, all laundered and folded neatly the way she usually folded them. You had remembered, and this would be the last time you needed to remember how to delicately tuck sweaters into themselves like cake rolls. “I’m going to see my mom and dad. You should…” And she trailed off, knowing full well you weren’t going to see your parents. “You should eat something nice.”
You nodded.
Smile.
“I will. Take care.”
You took a step back and bowed again, taking your graceful exit from the front porch of that apartment that you would never walk into again.
You headed for the stairs, being careful when it came to the snow-slicked stone steps. Good thing your black boots had sturdy, thick treads. You reached back and pulled the hood of your parka up, fleece blanketing your head and ears, instantly warming your cold hair. It was already getting dark. You barely saw the sun these days, with work and all. There was something nice about the winter evening though, not as thick as the humid summer nights. Crisp and chilly, sure, but maybe you could argue that was all you were anyway.
Shit, holding a pity party for yourself? That’s rich.
The voice was inner self-loathing was nice and loud tonight, huh.
You heard your name being called from the garage at the bottom of the stairs. You looked up to see a familiar resident of these apartments.
Your ex-girlfriend’s next-door neighbor, in fact.
“Jeon Jungkook?”
He smiled and waved, jogging over, something large and round under his arm. Black leather jacket, his gloves matching his jacket. Black jeans. Heavy-duty boots. You took a couple steps towards him, and then you spied the parked motorcycle, and finally recognizing that it was a motorcycle helmet he was holding. The sweater underneath with the somewhat tacky, bright red-and-white candy cane print didn’t quite match the rest of his ensemble.
He looked down when he realized you were staring at his chest and laughed. “Ah, yeah, I came back from a work party. Christmas lunch before we go on break. Theme was ugly sweaters.”
You blinked. “You could have tried harder.”
He grinned. “Yeah, my co-worker Jimin said that too, but I told him he was ugly enough for us both.”
You shook your head with a sheepish smile as the young man looked way too proud of himself burning someone who wasn’t even here to defend themselves. Well, supposedly he burned them publicly already. Poor Jimin. You had never met this Park Jimin Jungkook occasionally talked about, but they seemed to have a brotherly friendship, complete with Jungkook providing shithead younger brother quips.
“I haven’t seen you around lately,” Jungkook said, tilting his head.
Oh. Right.
You pointed up and prepared yourself to say it again and again until everyone knew.
“We broke up.”
“Oh…” His expression fell, big round brown eyes and the downturn of his lips. Man, Jeon Jungkook looking sad was not something you realized you needed to brace yourself for until now. It almost made you sad seeing his expression. “I’m sorry to hear that. I liked watching movies with you two, since you like Marvel stuff.”
You chuckled. “I’m not banned from going to the theater. I can still go to opening nights with you, if you want.”
He scratched his cheek, nodding slowly. “She wouldn’t feel weird seeing you with me?” he asked.
Oh.
Right.
If it was only you and Jeon Jungkook going to the movies, then, of course, people would think certain things.
You answered him honestly.
“I don’t know.”
You didn’t need to give answers, but Jungkook was your ex’s next-door neighbor and you had made friends with the guy before she did. Would be odd, considering she had proximity on her side, but, as it turns out, she was the lesbian and you were the pansexual. She had other priorities than the man living next door. He was not that interesting to her.
You shrugged. “I don’t know how she would feel, but what’s done is done and life goes on.”
Jungkook blinked at you.
You puffed out your left cheek and then exhaled heavily. “As you can expect from my reaction, it was me who broke up with her.” You clicked your tongue. “It wasn’t her. It was me. I have issues when women try to take care of me, even if they only have good intentions.” You reached up and pushed your parka hood back, letting the cold wind pierce your skin again, eager to feel something else. “Doesn’t really happen to me when it’s men, but women? Hah... I tried to tell myself that that wasn’t it, but facts are facts. In the end, I didn’t like her anymore and it had nothing to do with her and everything to do with me.”
Sounded awful coming out of your mouth.
Truth was ugly.
“I thought I would feel like shit not being with her during Christmas, but actually I feel worse because I’m actually glad I’m out.”
You glanced at Jungkook, whose was staring at you with those big brown eyes. For his part, he simply accepted when you introduced his neighbor as your girlfriend back then. Didn’t pry much. It had come up in conversation about representation in movies, and you both clarified your sexualities. Jungkook’s reaction was, oh, cool. But, of course, you hadn’t specified about the differences of various romantic relationships for you personally, until now.
You winced. “Sorry. Kinda dumped all that on you.”
He shook his head quickly, his long black hair flying about like floppy puppy ears. “No, no. It’s okay. Have you talked to anyone about the breakup?” He held up his free hand, pulling it back a little. “You don’t have to answer that if you don’t want to. It’s just… I mean, I knew you two a little bit, so… I can listen, if you wanna say stuff.”
You opened your mouth, ready to say, yeah, I’ve talked about it, but then you realized, no, you haven’t talked to anyone about the breakup. You didn’t really have friends outside of the ones related to your previous relationship, and, well, he was standing right here. You certainly weren’t going to tell your parents about dating, least of all dating outside of the heteronormative. They already didn’t like you for various reasons and being anything but heterosexual was probably going to lead to full-on pitchforks and chasing. Not your idea of a fun Christmas, you had to admit.
Mostly because you were the one that had to do the outrunning.
Jungkook rubbed the back of his head, screwing up his face. “Uh, well, a friend much smarter than me told me once that good and bad is relative to who you’re talking to and that most of the time no one is good or bad because there are too many ways to judge.” As he spoke, his eyebrows became more knitted together in increasing confusion of unsure recollection. “Um. Something like that.”
You half-smiled. “Hm, ever considered becoming a therapist?”
Jungkook frowned, looking displeased. “Sounds complicated.”
You laughed. “Don’t worry. You would totally suck at it.”
He harrumphed. “Anyway,” he concluded gruffly, chopping the air, his Busan accent coming out with the flourishment. “I’m saying you don’t have to be sad or feel anything in particular.”
You nodded.
Awkward silence.
Jungkook suddenly perked up and pointed to his bike behind him. “Oh! Did I tell you? I got my motorcycle license over a month ago.”
No, he didn’t tell you, because at the point you had already broken up with your now-ex and stopped coming to this apartment complex. But you glossed over that detail and shook you head, cocking your chin to the metal monster. “Yours?”
He grinned, bouncing like the Energizer bunny. “Yup! Mine! I bought it as soon as I got my license. I always wanted one. Want a ride? I have an extra helmet upstairs.” He pointed up excitedly. “It’ll only take me a second to grab it.”
He knew you didn’t drive here and usually walked here from the train station because it was easier. You looked at the silver and black motorcycle and then back at him, seeing the bubbling eagerness and childlike joy in those sparkly big peepers. What the hell.
“Sure.”
He grinned.
You always liked Jungkook because he had such an expressive face.
He hurried past you and reached out to nudge your arm towards to the stairs. You stood steadfast, your head following his face as you saw his changing expression.
Time slowed.
So did Jungkook, stopping, standing beside you, his motorcycle helmet and arm in between your bodies.
You looked up at him.
Eyes connected.
Your hands lifted and you took his motorcycle helmet from him, ticking your head upstairs.
“I shouldn’t go back up there,” you softly said.
For a moment, he didn’t understand. You knew what he intended, you to follow him up to help carry the extra helmet so he had a hand free to lock the door again. But he hadn’t quite thought about why you were here in the first place, days away from Christmas, after months of not seeing you, and now the comprehension was creeping into his eyes, the wheels of his brain moving in real time right in front of you. You nodded slowly as his lips formed a small ‘o’ accompanied by quick, sharp nods as he bounded up the stone steps two at a time.
“I’ll be fast!”
“Don’t break a leg,” you scolded, rolling your eyes as he completely ignored you, but he held onto the railing, so at least he wouldn’t tumble down and squash you if he tripped.
That left you standing there in relative silence, holding Jeon Jungkook’s helmet and staring at his fairly new motorcycle, only a couple floors underneath your ex-girlfriend who you recently gave back all her things that she had left in your home, the only trace of her now being your memories that would fade in time.
You felt a bit weird, not minding too much about it.
Also felt a bit weird realizing in a few minutes you would be holding onto her next-door neighbor’s waist, your chest to his broad back.
I’m an asshole.
You sighed, remembering the apprehension you had felt embarking on this relationship. Maybe you should have listened to it, but, then again, hard to say. No one wants to believe they have issues. Also, she was quite cute and convincing at the time. Unlike in past relationships, she was already secure and didn’t make you feel ashamed about not being strictly lesbian or heterosexual. It made you think that this was right, this was how it should be, and then it started getting a little too serious.
You kept thinking, I’ll get over it.
You did not get over it.
Then you realized what you really meant was, I must get over it to prove that my shitty upbringing didn’t affect me but all I’m doing is pretending that I’m over it when I’m not.
Yeah, well.
You ended up breaking up with a nice, pretty girl that you weren’t really in love with. She had just made you feel secure because she actually accepted your sexuality, which was awesome but not enough.
So, why did you feel like a complete and total jerk, like you wasted her time, as if you weren’t worthy of it?
Don’t know.
You stared at the motorcycle in front of you.
He must feel free when riding it.
“I got the helmet!”
You didn’t even turn around when you heard Jungkook’s announcement. You were too busy transitioning out of your reflections. “Don’t you know motorcycle accidents are much more likely than car accidents?”
Jungkook popped into view, holding out the other helmet in his hands. You exchanged the one you were carrying with his, and he shrugged. “Everybody dies.”
“Morbid.”
“At least I wouldn’t die knowing I never got to ride a motorbike like I wanted to when I was a kid,” he pointed out, revealing a bit of his inked skin under his leather sleeve. “Same reason I got tattoos.”
“Bet your mom loves that.”
“My mom just has to love my personality,” he laughed. “And I got defiance from her, so she’s doomed.”
You shook you head with a smile. Jungkook showed you how to put the helmet on.
“Just stay safe.”
“Don’t you mean drive safe?”
“It’s not just you on the road, dude.”
Suddenly, his hands stopped moving after you put it on. Now you were staring at Jungkook through the opening, about to close the visor, but then those brown orbs found yours. There was a strange intangible ripple between you and him. He tilted his head.
“Why are you talking as if you’re not here about to get on the bike with me?”
Everybody dies.
You pointed to the helmet. It felt heavy and odd. You were unaccustomed to the tightness. It smelled clean though. “I am. Why else would I put this thing on?”
Maybe I’m already dead because I don’t feel bad about what I did.
You wondered if you should feel bad, even though you did the right thing, even though you knew there were no real villains and heroes in this situation, even though you knew you both were only people that chose how to live their lives. How were you supposed to know if you were dragging things on or running away? The only thing you knew was that she deserved someone who really loved her as much as she loved you. It wasn’t her fault you didn’t. You just had to be honest about it.
Right?
Jungkook nodded and stuck on his helmet, fitting it snugly and climbed onto the motorcycle, unlocking it as signaling you to get on behind him.
“Hold onto me here. Set your feet there. Yeah.”
He was warm and solid and present.
He even smelled nice.
You didn’t think about it too much. What was there to think about? Life was complicated. You could spend countless hours analyzing why you made certain decisions, if they were wrong or right and in which eyes that mattered, and then all those thoughts blew away when the mechanical monster underneath you roared to life, loud and vicious and pure power wielded with skillful hands, and you held on tighter to Jungkook, startled by the sound, yet not scared for some reason.
Just fascinated as Jungkook pulled out of his parking spot and zoomed out of the garage, onto the road.
It was fuckin’ cold.
Layers of green-and-black plaid between Jungkook’s back and your sweater, shielding your racing heart, wind and speed and thrill shooting throughout your veins, the winter night flashing past, blurring streetlamps and stoplights, forgetting the cold, your hands tucked inside Jungkook’s jacket, fingers fanning over his waist and ribcage, feeling his muscles under the tacky sweater.
You closed your eyes.
At least I wouldn’t die knowing I never got to ride a motorbike like I wanted to when I was a kid.
You used to think about riding a motorcycle when you were in middle school, although you had been looking at those smaller, zippy Japanese models, not a Harley-Davidson. You always assumed only loud obnoxious Americans rode that kind of stuff.
What?
Movies didn’t help.
Unfair stereotypes aside, it had been only a passing thought for you. One among many rebellious teenage desires. Cringe. That was hard to admit. But apparently for Jungkook it was a dream that he had turned into a reality and, while someone could view it in whatever negative light they wished, you saw it as walking the walk. You could respect that.
You leaned against him.
Felt the cold but there was something hot under layers of green-and-black plaid.
This is what joyride means, huh?
You were slowing down. Opened your eyes and saw Jungkook turning, seeing a parking lot and, across that, a field of white covered in a walkway of colorful lights. Oh. That was right. The park over here had put up this light display called Festival of Lights, where local artists had created wire sculptures covered in Christmas string lights which were displayed along a walkable path.
You went her last year, holding her hand.
You got off and took off your helmet, entranced by the bright twinkling displays, barely making out a gingerbread man doing a handstand.
“Wanna walk?”
You glanced at Jungkook. “What about this? Should I carry it?”
He laughed, waving to the sudden open top-box behind the seat. “Put it in here.”
You handed the helmet to him and watched in fascination. “Oh. I didn’t know there was a space to put stuff.”
He grinned. “Come on, let’s go.”
You following his bouncing jog with a loose stride, closing your fingers into your palm and remembering the feeling of his solid body in your hands only moments before. Furrowed your brows and shook your head, approaching the entrance, seeing a family several meters ahead, tired parents with a couple of loud kids pointing excitedly at a lit-up snowman holding six candy canes like Wolverine claws.
“Have you been here this year yet?”
“Ah, no,” you absentmindedly replied, seeing Santa and his reindeer. Classic, and well-done. “Haven’t had the time.”
“There’s one at the end I think you’ll like,” Jungkook was saying excitedly. “But I think the food vendors went home already. There was a hotteok truck and another one that sold roasted sweet potatoes, mmm, but maybe you can come back some other time.”
“Uh huh.”
You knocked into Jungkook’s back and bounced, vigorously shaking your head. “Ow.”
“Sorry, there’s ice. Careful.”
“Oh.”
You realized Jungkook was looking at you and you let go of his arm, not even realizing you had grabbed it out of instinct so you didn’t trip. A weird moment of muteness. You looked past him to see three chipmunks flashing in red, blue, and green scarves.
You looked up at Jungkook, who had followed your eye line to the three cuties.
“Jungkook.”
“Huh?”
“Why didn’t you ask your neighbor why I wasn’t coming over anymore?”
Those brown eyes looked away from the twinkling artificial stars to your eyes. There was a little bit a guilt. They shifted away and came back and you realized Jungkook didn’t know how to lie but he also wasn’t sure if he was about to be out of line either.
“I… I heard her crying. A lot. And it’s none of my business,” he mumbled, frowning. “My mom told me not to be nosy,” he added under his breath.
You almost snorted. “You told your mom that you were worried about the lesbian couple next door?”
Jungkook squinted at you, annoyed. “No, I told my mom that I was worried that my friend might have broken up, so I asked her if I should do anything. Something nice?” He shrugged. “I don’t know. It seemed weird especially when Black Panther: Wakanda Forever came out, and I was going to ask if you, I mean, you both were going to the midnight release but…”
The kids were yelling in the distance and you didn’t even hear them.
You were just staring at Jungkook and noticing that his ears were turning bright red.
All the adrenaline from the speed and, now, everything slammed on the brakes.
“I didn’t cry.”
He blinked slowly. “What?”
You breathed out, looking around you, at snow and lights and white, and then at Jungkook, wearing all black and that candy-cane sweater, at yourself and your dark monochrome outfit, and then you admitted it again. “I didn’t cry, and I feel kinda shitty for it.”
“Oh.”
You stepped past Jungkook and walked down the carved-out path, following footprints and hard work. He followed and you acknowledged him, looking from one festive decoration to another, admiring the creations and spinning through the inner workings of your mind. “I felt frustrated. I know sexual attraction and romantic relationships are two different things, but I wanted to believe they weren’t. I wanted to believe that enough time had passed and I was okay, but I wasn’t okay and maybe I’ll never be okay, and I don’t know how to feel about that.”
You glanced up.
Jungkook looked confused and thoughtful at the same time. “I think you said before you don’t talk to your parents?”
“Yeah. They’re assholes.”
“Oh.”
That wasn’t very descriptive so you gave a brief explanation. “They looked at me like a product they made. A child was an object that they could program to do things they weren’t able to do, like make lots of money, marry rich, and in general sacrifice all my autotomy for their every beck and call.” You shrugged. “A dog would have more grace than their child.”
“Ouch.”
“Also, they would not understand that I’m pansexual. I think I’d be shot on the spot.”
“Don’t talk to them,” he puffed heatedly.
“Mmm,” you hummed in agreement. “And, yeah, I’m sure that kind of upbringing affected my romantic relationships.” And lots of other things, but that wasn’t the point right now.
“Everybody goes through stuff like that.”
You looked at him.
Jungkook shrugged. “My last girlfriend said all I care about is myself and there’s a reason why all my friends are older than me and called me irresponsible, selfish, and childish.”
“Are you?”
He frowned. “I don’t think so? I do the dishes and always fold my laundry.”
You raised an eyebrow. “Only fold?”
“Okay, sometimes I leave it on the table for a little while,” he grumbled.
You chuckled. “How long ago was this?”
“Um, couple years ago? Maybe five?”
“You were barely an adult,” you commented, seeing a face-down figure with white hair in a bun and something that looked suspiciously like deer tracks on the back of that red coat. Uh. You decided not to comment and move on. “Still learning.”
“Learning to be a dick, she’d probably say now. She would tell me not to get a bike for sure.”
“Thought the whole point she was dating you was because you had a dick.”
Jungkook laughed, loud and vibrant, the lights making his cheeks glow. “Well, she’s married now so I guess she found a better one.”
“Or settled.”
“Damn, you would think you were the one who dated her,” he snickered. You could tell he was enjoying this though, those brown orbs sparkling a little too bright. There was a little bit of a jealous streak in him, you could sense. “I think I was dating the wrong kind of girl though. I think I have to date someone who shares my interests more. I like being with the person I like all the time. I don’t want them to be sick of me.”
“Mmm. I can see that. Pretty childish of you.”
“Hey!”
You laughed, nudging his side. “As long as you know you are the problem.”
He narrowed his eyes.
You grinned. “I didn’t say you weren’t a fun problem to have.”
Jungkook leaned closer, squinting harder.
You grinned wider.
Then you realized he was so close and he realized he was so close, both of you backing up at the same time. A little too fast, simultaneously darting your hands out and grabbing each other’s forearms, you grasping his right with your left hand and his right hand on your left sleeve, squeezing hard, immediately regaining balance.
You let go.
He let go.
Speed under a green-black plaid scarf, something hot and moving fast under all those layers.
“Sorry.”
“Ah, no, my fault. Sorry.”
You jerked your head towards the light displays and started walking again, trying to move past this sudden weirdness. You pointed out the various ones you liked. Yellow pill-shaped Minions decorating a Christmas tree. A curtain of lights programmed to look like falling snowflakes. Penguins sliding down a light-up hill. Slowing down. Breathing. You glanced at Jungkook.
He looked somewhat ashamed.
“Hey.”
He tilted his head, inquiring with his big eyes and pink nose. “Hm?”
“I’m glad you took me here. I don’t think I’ve done anything festive this year.”
“O… Oh.” He looked sheepish, rubbing the back of his head. “I thought it might be cool. Cheer you up a bit.”
“Yeah. It’s funny. A lot of people think I don’t like this season.”
You saw Jungkook rub his nose, realizing it was cold. “Huh? Why?” he asked nasally.
You glanced down at your dark color palette. “Well, you know me, I like Halloween most, but I actually enjoy Christmas quite a lot. Not because I have any particularly nice memories around it,” you mused. “Ah, I mean when I was a kid. But, I don’t know, maybe that made me appreciate the spirit of the holiday time more than all the capitalistic stuff surrounding it, since I didn’t participate much in that.”
Jungkook blinked, puzzled. “You didn’t get gifts?”
You thought about it. “Hmm, not until I was an adult and only when I was dating someone who gave gifts.”
He pursed his lips and then reached out, taking your elbow and pulling your along, to the corner.
“Come on. This can be your gift.”
You stumbled behind him, craning your head in confusion. “Huh?”
“Did you watch Wakanda Forever?”
“Of course, I did. You know Black Panther is my favorite.”
“Then, look.”
Your eyes widened as the bright display of Black Panther, black lights complete with the purple highlights and signature action pose loomed among the other creations, slightly out of place because it wasn’t holiday-themed or even remotely Korean, but apparently none of that mattered and it didn’t matter to you as you admired the craftsmanship of the wire structure underneath, obvious it was specifically Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa from the violet details.
“Oh, shit. That’s sick,” you breathed, staring at the display for far too long and probably burning it into your eyeballs.
“I knew you’d like it right away.”
“That’s so random that it’s here.”
“I mean it’s not Christmas, but the movie did come out a month ago, so I guess they made an exception ‘cause it was so cool.”
“I mean this feels like Christmas to me. Put a Santa hat on him and call it a day.”
Jungkook laughed. “Okay, I’ll sneak one on in the night.”
You whipped your head to him, wiggling your eyebrows. “I mean…”
“It turns off automatically at midnight to save power…” he trailed off, putting on a scheming face.
“Would you go to jail for that? Is a Santa hat vandalism?”
“I didn’t commit a crime if I don’t get caught,” he countered.
You gave him a look. “Sounds like someone belongs on the naughty list.”
Jungkook scrunched up his face.
“Naughty or nice depends on who’s asking.”
He stuck his little pink tongue out.
You poked the tongue tip sticking out of his lips.
Instant wet warmth on your index finger. Jungkook jumped, startled at your quick action and even you snapped back, surprised at yourself. Why had you done that? A wave of fluster, and you froze, hand hovering in the air, and Jungkook rapidly blinking, cheeks turning bright red. Silence. Couldn’t even say sorry, too stunned at your action to try to double back to apologies. Big brown eyes framed with windswept black locks, something unsaid hanging between you and Jeon Jungkook.
A casual friendship.
Kept at a fixed distance for… reasons.
Well, it had been.
Nobody was stupid, but time and place meant something.
Fast lane, not feeling the cold, racing pulse, lowering your hand, and you could feel it. You knew it was there, but time and place and all those other things.
“Sorry,” you finally said.
Jungkook’s eyes started darting in all directions. “It… It’s okay.”
“It’s kind of not. No one should be touching other people’s tongues without permission,” you pointed out.
He wasn’t really looking at you. “It’s okay… I forgive you.”
“Stop pretending I’m not a bundle of walking problems.”
Now those brown orbs finally scooting back to you.
There was no getting around that.
“That doesn’t mean you’re not a fun problem to have,” Jungkook mumbled softly.
Yeah, especially not after this irresponsible, selfish, childish guy said something like that.
There was a lot of shit you could say, but none of it seemed right. They sounded like excuses, or lame roundabouts, or too much too fast, like getting a whole sleeve of heavily-inked tattoos in a little under two years and a bigass motorbike after passing your motorcycle license exam. They sounded like feebleness in what was pretty clear, and you didn’t believe in saying something that wasn’t the truth.
“Um...”
Jungkook continued staring at you like a lost reindeer even though his nose was quite red.
You decided it was best to give a response. “Yeah?”
“You… You’re not doing anything on Christmas?” he asked.
“Ah, no. Nope, I just get a day off work.”
An extended silence.
You verbally approached very carefully. “You wanna… uh… hang out at my place?”
“Oh…” Man, this conversation sure was something. “I can bring some food and stuff. I can cook.”
“Me too.”
“You… like pork belly, right?”
“Yeah. It’s my favorite.”
Good fuckin’ gracious.
You couldn’t stand it anymore and exasperatedly put your head in your hand. “Just…” You saw Jungkook peering at you, looking worried. You put your hand down, resolving yourself quite quickly. “Okay. Give me your number. I’ll text you the address.” You didn’t think about it too much. Just yanked your phone out of your inner pocket and furiously typed down the numbers that came out of Jungkook’s mouth, your frozen fingers needing to press more than once, but you eventually got there.
After you pressed send, you immediately jerked your head up and looked at those big brown eyes very seriously.
“I… We… What happens, happens,” you finally said.
Jungkook nodded determinedly. “Yeah.”
It was pretty obvious what was going to happen but, then again, there were children around.
Last Christmas you received a gift with a note that said I love you.
This year, you would receive…?
-
“You think Die Hard is a Christmas film?”
Jungkook shrugged. “Sure?”
The actual movie didn’t really matter. Mostly because you fell asleep on top of him and woke up to a black television screen, wrapped in a fuzzy red velvet blanket, and Jeon Jungkook staring at you in the darkness. You blinked slowly. Could barely make out his face in the faint light of the open window, seeing the shape of his parted lips, the shine of his large eyes, the waves of black hair that cradled his cheeks.
You had animated conversation over dinner, funny stories of Jungkook’s friends and viral videos you had both seen on the internet, so natural it was almost frightening, complete with weird tense moments of silence that you or he pushed along, resolute, knowing how you got here, and yet.
Chills all over despite the warmth under the blanket.
He was not wearing a tacky sweater now. Just a simple black and white plaid flannel and a white t-shirt under, paired with loose black pants. Oversized and cozy to go with your fleece red-and-black checkered long pajamas. He smelled the same as he did the other day. He didn’t bring anything with him but a large glass Tupperware of food and his motorcycle helmet, saying he forgot to leave it by his bike. His heavy black coat was hanging in the hall closet by the front door.
You stared at Jungkook, saying nothing.
Stayed close.
He leaned in.
You closed the distance.
You were pretty sure you had a soul of ice.
Then again, Jungkook had said earlier in the night that he had been told in his fortune that he had too much fire in him, so maybe it canceled out or something.
You wanted to say you had an entire, deep discussion of, is this a good idea, or perhaps even, what is courteous and respectful but also fulfills the personal desires of the very obvious between us, but there was only heavy making out and lip-locking and breathless gasps and your hands around his waist again, warm and solid and present, and you shuddered, breathing him in, pulling him close, pressing your body to his.
Jungkook didn’t waste time.
His hands were on your hips, his wispy moan trailing over your lips.
Oh no. You tried to resist the addictive sensation that demanded to be chased, your lower body rolling into his, feeling was what very real and very apparent, his shaking breath tickling your lower lip and chin, whine shimmering in his throat. He liked it. Pulled you closer, increasing the pressure, your clothed pussy practically riding his clothed dick.
You caught his moaning mouth and felt the electricity of his arousal enter your lungs, your hands tangling into his hair, pulling his head back, first lightly and then when he didn’t relent, harder, tearing a moan from his throat, loud and vicious and pure power of his vocal cords vibrating under your kisses, nipping at his neck and leaving small possessive marks that he encouraged with gasping, don’t stop, don’t stop, please, falling apart in your skillful hands, tracing the crown of his head, his ears, his jaw.
You ran your tongue over his collarbone and then softly trailed back with kisses.
“O-Oh, fuuuuck me…”
That was the idea, yeah.
He was unbuttoning your pajama shirt.
“Wha… Why are you wearing a bra?”
You guessed that was not supposed to sound whiny but then again Jungkook was pouting in frustration.
“I generally wear bras. You know, to hold my tits.”
He puffed his cheeks. “Don’t ladies usually not wear bras at home?”
“I imagine the situation might change if there was a hot man involved.”
An involuntarily shiver travelled all over Jungkook and the only reason you could feel it was because you were basically humping his dick.
“Also, we can’t talk much if you are distracted by my nipples,” you added.
You felt an agile hand creeping around to the back clasp. “What if I want to be distracted by your nipples…?” he trailed off experimentally, giving you a curious, mischievous look.
You raised your eyebrows.
“Sounds like someone belongs on the naughty list.”
He tilted his head, sending dark strands over one eye and his cheek.
“Who’s asking?” he purred, his silvery voice low and deep.
Well, shit.
The man knew how to be sexy.
You raked your fingers through his thick black hair, feeling him tremble under you.
“Leader of the naughty list herself,” you breathed back, leaning in to kiss him again.
While it was true that Jungkook had not come with some last-minute wrapped trinket, he had brought a hard dick and abundant horniness, and that was a pretty good gift in your book. You showed him your boobs and those nipples he was so keen about – well, technically, he showed himself and audibly gasped when your bra tumbled off. You weren’t sure if he was acting or not, but that question was answered too, because he lifted you by the waist and ran his tongue over your cleavage and then started making out with your chest.
“Oh…!”
Your turn to be surprised and you clutched his head, gasping, pushing him to suck, and he didn’t need any more signs, circling his tongue around the hard nab and then his eyelids fluttered, moaning deep in his chest. Hot shivers at the feeling of his warm mouth and gentle insistence, your body pressing into him, matching his rhythm and sound, holding his free hand to your neglected breast while his other hand splayed over your lower back, strong and secure. Your thighs squeezed his waist, feeling his desire melt into yours.
It wasn’t like you didn’t know.
You just didn’t act on it and neither did Jungkook, other than the occasional puppy eyes because he was terrible at lying. He had made a conscious effort to stay securely in the friendzone out of respect. You had appreciated that, really. But then there was that chance meeting, and, even then, you knew he took you to the Festival of Lights just to cheer you up, not to put you in any complex or awkward situation, but, again, he was bad at lying and there was no getting around this very intense attraction between you and Jeon Jungkook.
Hence the current kissing down your stomach and you leaning back, slow cascading moan falling from your lips as you felt his dance around your bellybutton and he pulled down the waistband of your pajama pants, following your hip line.
“Fuck, you’re so fucking sexy…”
Your fingertips grazing the lines of his legs, nails applying dainty pressure that made him quiver under you, his breath hitching as you placed your hands on his thighs and pressed your fingers inward, lifting yourself back up. Leaning down to kiss him again, tasting traces of you on his lips. Slowly peelings his clothes off, tangling him in them just to see his eyebrows knit in frustration, so cute, but you didn’t say, not yet, and then your clothes were in a rumpled pile on the living room floor. You in your panties and him in his boxer briefs, and you straddled his waist, kissing him repeatedly, rubbing your chest into his, feeling him under you.
Hot.
Shivering.
Overwhelmed with sensation, rolling his hips and hard cock into your covered heat.
He liked the feeling of your fingernails running down his chest. You did it once, just to test, and he reached for your hands, pulling them back up, more, and you watched his body writhe and fall apart under your touch, his head tipping back and lifting up his torso to add more pressure, moan hiking when you scratched down his sides and kissed his chest, licking his nipples, traveling to his back, earning a stronger reaction and his fingers sinking into your ass, his erection throbbing in between your thighs that squeezed his tense hips.
“Fuck, oh, fuck…”
You could feel the dampness occurring, both from you and him.
“J… Jungkook…”
You couldn’t stop kissing him, continuously telling yourself last one, but that was ages ago, lips locked and drunk on foreplay, on his body and his sound, vibrant and carnal, a mix of cute and sexy that was practically illegal. Couldn’t stop touching him, couldn’t stop whispering to him how nice he felt, how nice he tasted, careless, absorbed in the strength of his lust.
“C-Can I fuck you…? I brought condoms in my coat, j-just in case…”
“Naughty boy,” you scolded and didn’t mean it, and it was dangerous, so dangerous the way Jungkook desperately moaned as you placed your hand over his damp, pulsing hardness and rubbed him through his underwear, too dangerous with the way he looked at you and gasped, you wanna sit in this naughty boy’s lap?
Thankfully, that was the extent of that.
Also, you didn’t bother going all the way to the hall closet when you had plenty of condoms in your bedroom.
And, yeah, you sat in his lap.
”Oooh, wow, y-you feel soooo fucking good…“
Could have been either of you or both of you saying it. You wouldn’t remember if you thought about it later, because you were too busy rocking your hips and trying to find the correct rhythm again. It was easier than you thought, maybe because of Jungkook’s roaming hands on your thighs, hips, breasts, his fingers pinching your nipples, sending sparks of pleasure across your torso that matched the satisfying fullness deep inside, and, right there, finding the correct depth and forcefulness, chasing it immediately, building the steady pace with the condom wrapper tumbling down your sheets and hitting your knee.
You snatched it and chucked the foil wrapper over the side of your bed.
“Oh!”
“Forget about it, fuck me, Jungkook, fuck me.”
He angled his hips up and you rode him, relentless pleasure and waves of need satisfied by thrusting, clenching around his thick, hard cock, losing yourself in the shocking bliss.
You closed your eyes.
Felt the heat, so intense it sent chills up and down your spine. Couldn’t stop, didn’t want to stop, hands on his chest, tense and vibrating under harsh smacks and craving more, your name in Jungkook’s breathless voice addicting. His sound, intoxicating. His body, telling, unable to lie and you could be nothing but be honest, so good, fuck, feels so fucking good, speeding in the fast lane and soaring from the feeling.
There was no doubt that Jungkook was someone special.
You looked down, just for a moment, catching those brown eyes, glassy and fucked-out and watching you like you were everything and more.
I need him.
The thought was so intense and raw that you felt something inside you snap, your breath cutting off, torrential crash and orgasm seizing you by the throat, throwing your head back, your hair sweeping your shoulders, and you came around him, jerking your hips to bury him deeper, oh, fuck, yeees, suspended in the blissful, powerful rush, feeling your liquid honey leak out and down, covering him with it, the scent of sex rising between your bodies.
Jungkook lifted his hips and your body by doing so, his hands strongly grasping your waist, moaning with you, thrusting hard and fast, fucking your through your orgasm and you immediately tumbled into another peak, back-to-back intensity, feverish pitch of your joined voices as he came too, rock-hard and twitching inside your pulsating tightness, holding both of you up by a miracle.
Or sheer lust.
Nice or naughty, right?
For a moment, mute, stunned silence at the shared feeling between you and him.
Sure, it was pretty damn obvious you were going to fuck.
You just didn’t expect it to feel this good and this right.
Down, down, down. Slow, serene, subliminal, the way he sank down and both your gazes left the ceiling, sinking into your sheets, your eyes and his eyes connecting, quiet but an entire conversation humming between your bodies.
“J… Jungkook.”
He was panting hard, sweat glistening on his chest and forehead, his long black hair a mess your pillows. “Y… Yeah?”
“It’s… It’s a bit late…”
Well, actually, you had no idea what time it was.
“Y-Yeah, it kinda is…” he breathed, caressing your hips with his fingertips, relentless energy under you, eyes so big and brown that you could drown in that comforting darkness.
“Can you just…”
A pause, racing hearts beating together.
“Stay?” you asked, tentative and unsure.
Jungkook squeezed your thigh, reassurance in his touch.
“I wanna stay,” he stated, nodding determinedly.
So, he stayed, the start of many Christmases to come.
