Chapter 25: Admiration

Jungkook is currently sitting at the dining table with books on the table; he's studying as it's been a long time since he study at the dorm. The rest of the members were watching the television while munching on popcorns, Hoseok turned around and looked at Jungkook. “Jungkookie, stop for a while. You need to eat or rest now.”. Jungkook waved his hand towards Hoseok as a sign of 'it's okay'.

Namjoon know that the younger members missed their hometown, their parents, their family so he wanted to fill the empty spot for them while he was with the members.
