Jeonghan kept staring at Youngran’s absurd face and he flit his eyes to Jungkook questioningly, as if he’s asking someone to explain the identity of the raven haired guy. Mrs Yoon stepped beside Jeonghan as she hugged his arm, facing Youngran with an eye-smile, automatically snapping him out of his thought.

“Youngran-ee, this is Jeonghan~” She happily introduced him and she just blinked, still in shock at her changing childhood friend.

She didn’t see that coming. Never did she think that Jeonghan would change to be so beautiful like this. Of course she knew that he was cute before, vaguely remembering but hey, that’s something, but pretty? That word should only be for ladies only and he’s definitely not inside the group she’s in.

“You’re the midget from before,” Jeonghan spoke up suddenly and Youngran’s jaw fell to the ground at his surprising words. She sure as hell didn’t see his mocking coming.

“What did you just say?” She breathed out in disbelieve and Jungkook worriedly looked between Youngran and Jeonghan. “You’re going to regret saying that, jerk.”

Without warning, she raised her balled fist up and it made its way towards Jeonghan. Youngran and Jungkook gawked at him when he easily stopped her with his palm right before she could punch his chest. He strongly gripped her fist making her to frown. Seriously, it hurts no lie.

“Yah!” She yelped in disbelieve, hissing in pain at his absurd move.

“Okay, that’s enough Jeonghan,” Mr Yoon separated the two from each other with a look at his son who was nonchalant even after hurting a girl.

Youngran rubbed her red hand while shooting Jeonghan a death glare, mentally bashing the guy with tons of bricks for the pain he left her. Jungkook helped her by patting her back, trying to soothe her anger and he looked at Jeonghan weirdly. Turning around, she stormed off with a red angry face and not forgetting to slam her room door shut.

Mrs Moon was befuddled too when she saw Jeonghan who was so different after 8 years. It seems like he has change to another person. Completely. His personality when he was 10 years old is better than he is now. Mrs Moon turned to face Mr and Mrs Yoon for an explanation but they only let out a weak smile, apologizing for Jeonghan’s behaviour to her daughter.

“I’m in my room if you need me,” Jeonghan glanced at the stairs where Youngran gone to just now and he left the house, doesn’t feel any regret for injuring the girl.

+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+

It’s finally time for dinner and Youngran never felt so hungry like right now. After the accident, she had locked herself inside her room, refusing to get her out her comfort zone even when her mother had scolded her. Getting out of her room, she groaned inaudibly when there’re three additional people at the dining table.

She felt like she knew who those figures are and she won’t like it a bit. Pulling out her phone from her pocket, she slipped inside the bathroom and called for someone. After the short call, she went out and snatched her hooded jacket from her closet.

Poking her head inside the kitchen, she spoke out to her mother. “Mom. I’m going out with Jungkook.”

“Moon Youngran. We have our guests,” Mrs Moon narrowed her eyes in distaste.

“You have your guests. I ain’t sitting there and eat with him in peaceful mode although it’s beyond impossible to do that after what he did to me. I would dare, I’ll throw him my plate or maybe my glass out of fury. I’ll be back before 10 so chill out,” Wearing her jacket, she flicked her wrist, rolling her eyes when she thought of one particular person that she would gladly throw a dictionary to.

“Good evening uncle and auntie,” Youngran greeted with a bow and she hurriedly got out of the house before they could question her destination.

Jeonghan followed her silently using his eyes until the entrance door was closed shut. He felt both his parents unhappy stare on him but he choose to ignore them with his eyes on his touch phone. They totally knew the reason she went out was because of their son and they are not, surprise not surprise, pleased about it.

Youngran scanned her surroundings and saw a hand waving its way to her. “Youngran, here.”

“I’m sorry for asking you out this late,” she muttered out after standing beside him.

“No sweat. My brother cooked the last ramen inside the house and left me with nothing too so I’m currently in hunger,” he made a face, shrugging in the process making her to chuckle.

“Let’s eat spicy rice cake ramen. I felt like eating it after you said it just now.”

“Let’s go to our favourite ramen shop. I’m going to eat my hearts out until my stomach bursts,” Jungkook happily grinned as he slung an arm around her shoulder.

“Call,” she showed him a thumb-up. “And stop suffocating me with your arm every single time, will you?”

“Nah. I like it this way,” he beamed, a playful one I would say.

They went to the regular ramyeon shop that was 20 minutes away from her house. Before when she was with Jeonghan, they would always gone there to eat with their family but time change and right now she’s here with Jungkook, her best friend after Jeonghan.

“Hmm~ This is the taste… I could fall in love with it infinite times…” Youngran closed her eyes while breathing out, trying to cool down the ramen in since it was burning hot.

“You’re really a maniac for food, Young-ah,” Jungkook chuckled at her blissful face as he shoved a rice cake inside his mouth.

“You don’t even know,” she replied with full of ramen.

Youngran loves food or technically anything that could be swallowed down her belly, with the exception of some other things since she has an allergic herself. Of course she didn’t eat more than Jungkook but she’s nearing his appetite, only a bit lower.

That makes him weird out to how she could maintain her weight and height at the same damn time. She eats a lot but never gets fat. She eats a lot but never grew tall. Funny.

“So, when are you going to start your rant about that ex-childhood friend of yours?” he chomped while pushing a few more rice cake down his throat. Well, that is the sole reason she asked him out actually, her appetite being the second important.

“That reminds me, how did he even change in the first place???” she suddenly slammed her hand on the table in anger before hissing in pain at the impact.

Jungkook looked at her with an eyebrow raised as he slurped down the noodles. “How should I know?”

“He never dares to bring his hand up when he’s with me before and right now, he has the nerves to hurt me, can you even believe that???” Youngran almost pulled her hair out of their roots but Jungkook gave her a few rice cakes to silent her up.

“Uhuh. Then, what’s the problem here exactly?” He bobbed his head once while chewing on his meals in happiness. He swore he was listening to her although the delicious food almost called him to heaven.

“HE CHANGED!” she spluttered out and he silently thanked the heaven because nothing came out of at her outburst or he’ll be making a face, no offense, since she is a girl.

No matter how much he loves her as a friend, she’s still a girl.

“Okay, chillax. How about you just front him and talk about his experience there that made him to have a total turnover?” Jungkook looked at her in boredom, taking a few sip of his water after that.

Youngran tend to exaggerate over some things making him pretty annoyed though.

“No freaking way I’m going to do that,” she grimaced in disgust.

“And you wanted to know how he changes. When the time comes, he’ll probably tell you,” Jungkook snorted in amused.

“By the way he treated me now? It’s highly unlikely,” she retorted making him to let out a sigh. “Just munch your way out of this conversation. My ears are ringing badly after your unending screams.”

“Your sarcasm never changes.”

“Yours too,” he retorted.

Jungkook always become her ear when she wanted to tell her heart out and she’s the same when it’s his turn. They kind of completed each other in some way or another, in a friendly way that is. Youngran never said it out loud but honestly, she likes having Jungkook with her.

She wouldn’t have anyone else if he’s not here with her. He too, silently thanked her for being there with him.

+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+

Youngran patted her bloated belly with a satisfied beam. Looks like she enjoyed the meal just now. Jungkook saw her looking happy as ever and he can’t help but to let out a tease.

“How many months, ma’am?”

She squint at him, almost kick him in the knee but decided not to since he did treat her for the meal just now. Giving out a sarcastic smile, she showed him 3 fingers.

“3 months, Kookie.”

“I hate it when you said that,” his joking smile was slipped off his face as his eyebrow twitched irritably. “Too bad, I love it.”

“Why you…”

“My house’s here. Bye bye, Kookie~” Youngran ducked away from his arms before he could give her another yet head-lock and she skipped towards her gate with a happy wave.

“See you tomorrow, Youngran-ah!” Jungkook yelled while replying back to her hand.

“You got it!” She waved for the last time, giggling along the process and went inside her comfort zone.

After she has gone inside, Jungkook smiled softly before sauntering away to his home.

+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+

Jeonghan turned to his side and looked over the window. He stared at Youngran’s new best friend from his room as he leaned his body against the wall with crossed arms. Following the guy with his eyes, he hummed lowly when Jungkook had turned the corner, leaving his sight at the same time.

“Jeon Jungkook… huh?”

+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+

Author’s Note:

Aww… Is Jeonghan jelly because someone took away his ex-best friend? Lol. The first few chapters are to show how close Youngran and Jungkook are. ^^ Hehe. I wish I had a boy best friend like Youngran. XD
