Seohyun regretted her decision as she found herself on Friday afternoon in JungKook's room while he packed. "Don't you think it'll be a little freezing at the beach? I mean, it's autumn for crying out loud," Seohyun stated.

"I can deal with it. If I get too cold, I can just hang out inside," JungKook replied easily, packing 5 pairs of t-shirts and shorts and a few bathing suits since everything else was already packed in another bag.

"At least take something a little warmer," she reasoned. JungKook looked back and smiled at his concerned girlfriend.

"I'll be fine, Seohyun," he told her as he stood up. "I know you think I can't handle it, but I can. I'm good," he assured her softly.

"But I don't want you to come back with a cold," Seohyun said with a pout. JungKook chuckled and sat on the bed, motioning her over to sit next to him. She sat down and laid her head on his shoulder. "I don't want you to get sick."

"I know. Don't worry. I'll come back and I promise I'll be fine," he told her. Jin peeked in just to check on the two.

The boy kissed her back as he let his hands wander down to her hips, pulling her closer to his body. He was the one to deepen the kiss, but Seohyun responded right away.

It was indescribable how much he missed this girl's lips against his own, with their soft-as-a-petal texture and their willingness to be loved and their belonging to Seo Joo-hyun, the only girl he had ever loved as much as himself. Scratch that, more than himself.

Seohyun slowed down and pulled back, looking up at him guiltily. "Sorry, I just... I couldn't help myself," Seohyun explained, smiling shyly up at him.

"It's okay, Seohyun," JungKook said dismissively, smiling at the girl.

"JungKook?" she asked quietly.

"Yes?" he answered. Seohyun hugged him and buried her face in his chest. He held her back.

"I love you," she said. JungKook kissed her head, pretending not to hear her. Seohyun began to get concerned as to why he wouldn't speak. "I love you," she repeated louder, hugging him tighter.

JungKook squeezed his eyes shut so no tears would escape his eyes when they showed up, and of course, they did. He c
