pairing: jungkook x assassin!reader
genre: fluff, angst, nonidol au
summary: in which you are tasked to kill a son of a well known business man. it was supposed to be an easy kill but apparently you’re agency has a stupid policy. bucket lists.
It was a long day and all you ever wanted was to simply go get some sleep but apparently your boss won’t let you as the amount of paper works stacked up on your small desk inside your office, probably profiles of your soon to be targets.
You sighed as you leaned back towards your seat while looking at the profile that had been sitting on your desk for a few months now.
The photo attached to the profile had been mocking your very existence the minute you took the file from a meeting last September and it was February for heaven’s sake!
As an illegal hitman who’s in an agency where you are tasked to make sure that your target’s bucket list had been fully crossed, the fact that you were paid to kill someone was the easy part but the part where you help them cross out their “wants” or “needs” on their bucket list could be hard.
Being able to accomplish all of the person’s bucket list in just a span of a month was easy for you but with Jeon Jungkook, it seems impossible to accomplish this task in just a month.
Jeons. Everyone in the business industry totally despised them for sure. There were rumors roaming around about how their road to success was filthy, they’d step on people who’d get in their way.
That’s why the money on their heads were too damn high, especially on the only heir to the business, Jeon Jungkook. The kid was a walking time bomb anytime, anywhere, there’d be trouble.
That’s why you agreed to take his file the day it was presented to you during a meeting, you took it because of the money and damn you were in for a hell of a ride after meeting the kid.
He only has five listed on his bucket list and you've crashed out four out of five.
be not jeon jungkook
This happened on a very unexpected situation, It was in the last week of October and the both of you were picking costumes from your local store near the university where Jungkook went.
You were looking through the racks of the costume that you’ll wear for the party you’ll be attending with Jungkook tomorrow, as you skimmed through the racks you felt a tap on your shoulder, you turned to look and there you saw Jungkook wearing an Iron Man as he posed in front of you.
You giggled, “Jungkook, you look stupid.” You commented and returned to skimming through the rack. He kept on babbling about how he’ll need to gather the avengers once again. “Thought Iron Man was dead?” you interrupted him through his babbling.
”Excuse you, weren’t you listening that Iron- No, I am reborn again because of Doctor Strange’s help — ”
”What kind of nonesense is that Kooks.”
“But I’m not Jungkook!” He exclaimed behind you, “I’m Iron Man!” He added and you just simply ignore him by walking over to the other side of the room to look for more costumes that’ll fit you.
“Y/N!” you heard him whine behind you as you try to stifle a giggle from his cuteness. “Look at me come on!”
And that’s how you ended up as Harley Quinn for Halloween and Jungkook as the Joker.
Jungkook was happily running around the street with kids trailing behind him, you were sitting on the side walk and kept an eye on him with an unknowing smile on your lips.
Jungkook was trick or treating with you— Well, it was just him but he made you dress up too. It was chilly autumn night, leaves were dancing with the wind as the tree swayed.
“Be careful,” A familiar voice warned you, you looked away from Jungkook who was sharing his candy with the kids and looked up to your left to see Taehyung. “That kind of kid makes everyone fall at their feet.” He added, eyes glued on Jungkook with his eyebrows knitted together, it was as if he was trying figure out something.
You sighed and stood up, “I’m here to work Tae,” You started to explain, “But aren’t you a charmer, Mr. James Dean.” You commented on his outfit, Taehyung was already good-looking but his outfit made him stand out more.
He chuckled, “Gotta blast, my target is getting out of my sight.” He stated and you noticed how his eyes move, as if he was following his target with his eyes. “While yours is walking toward us.” He whispered so that only you two could hear and he kissed your temple and walked off.
You rolled your eyes at his playboy tactics and turned your attention to Jungkook who has his attention on Taehyung who just walked passed him. “Yo, Kooks.” You called out to him to get his attention.
But still his eyes were glued onto the man who kissed you.
kiss a girl
This happened during the annual Christmas bonfire of Jungkook’s theatre club— and that club of his was pretty huge to the point where only club members and their plus one were allowed to join the event.
And surprisingly— not really, you were Jungkook’s plus one as you were always together.
Jungkook was pretty much excited the whole night as he kept on introducing you to his club mates and also dragging you towards different types of booths that they made to make the event more interesting as Jungkook would phrase out.
You were standing in front of a booth and tried to warm yourself up as you looked around the place for Jungkook.
“Where did that little rascal go to?” You mumbled to yourself and let your eyes scan the place once more. You heard a small cough beside you and you noticed it was a guy operating the booth, you also noticed how lonely his booth was as you were the only person near it.
When he got your attention he smiled a bit, “Hi there, are you okay?” He asked you and you walked towards the booth. “I noticed you were alone and w-well I thought— I thought.” He stuttered out and made you giggle a bit.
“Its all good...”
“Jimin, Park Jimin.”
You smiled at him, “Nice to meet you.” You greeted him and reached out your hand for him and he happily shook it.
But then he suddenly pulled you closer to him which took you off guard, “Gotcha!” He cheered and there another man pulled out a tied up Jungkook from the side of the booth and let him stood beside you.
You were confused, until Jungkook mumbled, He was looking down, as if he was trying to ignore your stares. “Look up.” You looked up and saw a mistletoe on top of you and Jungkook.
You just shrugged and kissed Jungkook on the lips.
It was no big deal for you as you, while he was being untied, you can’t help but notice how Jungkook’s cheeks have turned into a deep shade of red.
And you were sure, that it wasn’t because of the cold night.
go on dates
This just happened a few weeks ago, when the both of you were joking around on the dimly lit streets of Seoul after eating at a cheap food stall that Jungkook wanted to eat at for ages.
It was already eight in the evening and the bustling cars were still evident on the streets and masses of people were still roaming at this hour.
As you and Jungkook were about to enter his parked car, you noticed a crowd and heard someone singing through the loud speakers. You looked at Jungkook and he was also looking over to the crowd curiosity.
“You wanna go watch, Kooks?” You asked him with a small smile on your face. You noticed Jungkook was now looking down at his watch with a wary expression. “Kooks, it will be just a few minutes, your dad’s not gonna flip if you were only a few minutes late right?” You told him, as a way to make him calm down.
Jungkook gulped, thinking about what you said, "I guess so...” He was hesitant to walk towards the crowd but you were already tugging at his arm.
The both of you squeezed your way through the crowd until you were at the front you let out a small gasp when you saw your fellow hitman, Taehyung.
You looked at Jungkook and he has a big smile on his face whilst you had a nervous one on yours. You turned to look back at Taehyung waiting for him to notice you, when he did notice you, he just gave you a wink.
You didn't know why you were nervous at all, Jungkook doesn't even know who Taehyung was.
But whatever this feeling was, you were sure as hell something bad is going to happen soon.
Jungkook slightly nudged you which made you look at him, “Did he just winked at you?” He asked confusion written all over his features.
You shrugged, "Guess he noticed my charms right away." You teased expecting to hear a chuckle from him but instead you heard him snort. “Kooks?” You looked at him and he just ignored you, pretending he didn’t heard you over the loud music.
You rolled your eyes and just looked ahead of you to see Taehyung already looking at you with an eyebrow raised. He was eventually surprised that Jungkook is still alive.
You simply imitate a gun with your fingers and mouthed a ‘soon’ to Taehyung.
Speaking of guns, you remembered that you left your gun on your desk beside Jungkook’s bucket list.
Something sparked in your mind that you immediately looked at Jungkook.
“he wanted to sing in front of people.” You thought and looked at the doe eyed teenager beside you as a plan popped onto your mind.
Jungkook turned to you as he felt you staring at him, “Does he look a bit, familiar to you?” He asked you but you payed no attention to what he was saying and just prepared a cheeky plan in your head.
You grinned and pushed him forward which made Taehyung stopped singing and Jungkook stiffened, “He volunteers to sing!” You shouted and that’s how you made Jungkook sing in front of a crowd with your fellow hitman’s help.
And that’s two crashed out of the bucket list, perform in front of a crowd. You can’t believe you just hit two birds with one stone.
fall in love
You were going dizzy, how the heck can you cross out that one last wish on his bucket list, you thought it was quite stupid to fall in love at the age of twenty-two but then love simply chooses no one, it just comes.
Jungkook was that type of kid who always have that beautiful light in their eyes, the kind of light that never seemed to burn out.
He was the type that would get excited over the simplest things, like when you gave him a little key chain for his bag’s zipper that got broken, he was really happy to have it.
But Jungkook was not like any other kid, he was a Jeon. The last name Jeon is pretty much known in South Korea, since they’re a family of businessmen, they tend to step over people to get where they are now.
Hence, here you are tasked to kill him because of this client who has a big amount of hatred towards his father. You feel sorry for the poor boy, every single one of his father’s enemies wants his head.
Just as you were about to think about just killing Jeon Jungkook on the spot instead of finishing his bucket list, your phone rang.
You pulled it out of your pocket and saw Jungkook’s name flashed on it.
“Y/N!” He beamed from the other line as you unconsciously smiled at his voice, “I’m going to pick you up later at six, okay?”
You hummed in response, “Why do you sound so happy today?” You teased him and he just laughed.
“You’ll see.” He sang out and ended the call.
You think carnival dates are for kids, not for you. Jungkook wanted to go and try almost every ride in the place, you were being dragged by him in every direction.
“Y/N! Let’s go ride that one!”
“Let’s go on that roller coaster over there!”
“I wanna ride that horror themed train!”
Your head was spinning after every ride that Jungkook dragged you into.
Finally, you were seated comfortably on the ferris wheel and the both of you over looked the carnival from above.
But then suddenly, you stopped at the very top, you looked at Jungkook with worry and he just gave you his bunny smile.
“I may or may not have slipped a few bucks to the operator earlier.” He confessed and gave you a wink, you just rolled your eyes and stared down onto the carnival. “Oh come on! These are the best seats!” After he said that fireworks popped out of nowhere.
You were at awe, you rarely see a sight like these. “Kooks—“
“This is the perfect time to kill me now.”
Your eyes went wide and immediately looked at Jungkook who has a small sad smile on his face, “Kooks, what do you mean—“
He just shrugged, “The Taehyung dude kind off gave it away,” He sighed out and looked away from you to see the fireworks, “I now know why he looked so familiar to me.” He chuckled a bit and looked down.
You saw tears dripping down his face and tried to touch his shoulder but he moved away once he felt your hand on him. “Jungkook I—“
He looked up at you with a smile, “You don’t have to comfort me Y/N,” He said softly as tears kept on falling down his face. You desperately want to dry off his face but you can’t seem to do it. “He killed my mom, you know.” He shared with you.
You gasped, your eyes wide at what he told you. “I didn’t know, J-Jungkook—“ You stuttered out, your heart ached for him, “I’m sorry.”
He sniffed and gave you a smile. “Kill me Y/N.” He whispered out. “Its better to be killed by you than any other assassins.” He added and looked at the fireworks.
He looked so pretty under the light emitted by the small pod of the ferris wheel. He even still looked pretty with tears running down his face. “You know what Y/N, I hope you don’t mind but,” He sighed and looked at you. His eyes were full of hurt and betrayal, “I actually fell for you— Heck, I’m in it deep for you!” He exclaimed and let out a laugh.
You gulped and looked away from him, “Jungk-kook, s-stop that, please.” You stammered.
You felt him softly grab your chin and made you face him, “I love you, Y/N.” He said softly, you looked up at his eyes and his eyes were now full of love and emotion, there were no traces of hurt in his eyes anymore.
With that, He kissed you and you kissed him back.
This was a goodbye kiss after all. You’ve got to accept the fact that you were gonna lose him.
Forever.
From that night on, You walked out of the carnival alone, no more jumpy and giddy kid by your side. You let out a bitter laugh of how Taehyung was right.
No more laughs and giggles.
No more holding hands and stolen kisses.
And no more Jeon Jungkook.
