Serendipity: Jungkook x Reader

Chapter Two: Trip to Town

It was still a mystery to me exactly where the guy I had saved from the woods had ended up. He was gone before daybreak, leaving no evidence that he was ever here to begin with. He didn't leave with anything, crossing out the option that he was a thief.

Now, a week after the incident, I stood outside shoveling the snow away from my shed. Mother nature wasn't very kind during the month of February and decided to snow almost every day of the week. The only way to travel to town, in my circumstances, was by snowmobile. Currently, however, it was buried under almost three feet of snow, proving it to be difficult to do my weekly grocery store shopping.

As I struggled to uncover my only means of transportation, I noticed a figure make it's way across the snowy road. It took me a few seconds to realize who the person was, but when I did I didn't bother hiding my astonishment.

"What the hell are you - aren't you injured?!" I dropped my shovel and started towards him, picking up speed as I went.

He gave me a nervous smile before shaking his head. He was walking fine, even though he had been shot in the abdomen seven days ago. Even if he had rested every single day of the week - which he hadn't, because he had to of gotten to his residence somehow - he would still be in pain.

"I'm fine now," He stated, meeting my eyes before breaking the contact almost immediately. "I wanted to come thank you for... saving my life, I guess." He finished, much more awkward than the night I had brought him in.

I decided against digging deeper and asking him about his wound again, only to reply to his last statement.

"You're welcome." I gave him a small smile before looking back up to him. "I never got your name, by the way."

"Oh, it's Jungkook. What's yours?" He inquired, forcing me to stifle a laugh.

This seemed like kids in school meeting for the first time ever after they were put into a group and forced to do a project together.

"I'm Y/n." I answered, the pink of my cheeks deepening as I grew colder standing around. "Did you want to come in?" I decided to ask , looking up to meet the boy's gaze.

"Sure," He answered, almost puppy-like. "If you don't mind."

Shaking my head, I turned towards the house, stepping gingerly onto the icy wooden porch that lead into the cabin. After Jungkook almost fell, I helped guide him into the house safely before closing the door and retreating from the cold.

"Where do you live?" I spoke as I removed the heavy jacket and scarf I had been wearing for protection of the chilly weather. "I mean, there's no way you walked all the way here from town."

He raised an eyebrow and shook his head, removing his own jacket - the same black one from a week ago.

"I don't live in town. I'm actually only a few acres away." He informed, politely asking where he could put his coat before I directed him to the hanger.

"I didn't know there were any other houses this far out. I've never even seen it." I voiced, looking to him with confusion. "I've been hunting all around this place for the past year. Now you're telling me there's a house somewhere nearby?"

"Well, the house is in a concave area - you might of missed it." He said, watching as I put tea on for the two of us. "I mean, it's probably further than you would like. I don't know why you'd head all the way out there to hunt anyway, the deer don't like being so far from the river."

With the help of him, I narrowed the location of his house to either the south or west - opposite of where the river was.

"I wouldn't know that, I've only been here a year and I only started hunting a few months back. I had to get my license for this area." I informed, watching how he would react to my words.
