“Thanks again for letting me stay,” you smiled at Minseo as you took a spoonful of rice in your mouth.

Jungkook, who is sitting beside you on the table, laughed at your words. “More like making you stay,” he commented and turned to his mother. “Umma, I can’t believe you made her stay when she already has a place of her own.”

Minseo just shrugged. “I missed Ji Hyun sleeping here.”

“She slept here less than a week ago-”

She cut him off, totally going off topic. “So I heard Taehyung is in love with a girl named Chanmi,” she smiled.

You took a short glance at Jungkook, can’t help but let out a little giggle seeing him pout. Nodding your head, you smiled back at his mother. “Yeah, we met her a few days ago, apparently she goes to the same school as us.”

“School…” Jungkook suddenly murmured aloud.

Minseo’s eyes widened at the realization. “That’s right, school’s just right around the corner.”

“One week left of freedom.”

“Hey, Jungkook, don’t say that. At least be happy that you’re going to the same school with Ji Hyun,” she smiled then stood up, her empty dish in her hands as she takes it to the kitchen sink. “Kookie, don’t forget to wash the dishes, okay?

You couldn’t help but smile at him. “Aw, that’s so cute! Hey, why don’t we got to the mall later and pick out a gift for your mom?”

“Fine,” he said with a sigh then stood up, picking his empty plate and yours. “Let me was these first.”

Following him to the kitchen, you decided to help him out. The thought of him that he cared so much for his mother that he’s even stressing about her birthday present was so sweet and cute, it made you all warm and fuzzy inside.

Rinsing the plates that Jungkook washed, you couldn’t help but smile and have random thoughts about him. Would a life with Jungkook be like this? Peaceful, sweet and relaxing. Other than the events that occurred in the past, everything was all lovey-dovey between the two of you. I hope we’ll be together forever-

“Yah,” your boyfriend said in a monotone voic
