~ Bonding ~

That morning, you woke up early. The image of Jungkook half- from last night still lingered in your thoughts – not that you’re complaining or anything. You got out of the guest room, heading towards the bathroom. The moment you came out, you saw Jungkook’s mother pass by.

“Oh, Ji Hyun, you’re already awake?” she questioned. You nodded your head, “I was just about to make breakfast for the three of us, would you like to help?”

Nodding your head once more, you replied, “Sure.”

As you prepared an American-style breakfast – omelet with rice on the side, you felt like you gotten even closer to Minseo. She felt more like a mother to you than what you had back home. Minseo’s a really nice woman, caring, and sometimes unexpected but in a good way of course.

The two would always play with each other all the time, it was really cute,” then the sweet smile that was on her face slowly faded, “When the little girl moved to America for a while, they lost contact of each other.”

It’s the exactly the same as your story.

Minseo flipped to another page revealing Jungkook holding hands with a girl as the two smiled brightly towards the camera. Her eyes suddenly widened as she looked at the picture then looked at you. “Ji Hyun…” she said, almost inaudible. “Do you
