Chapter 7

Snippets

 

Jungkook finds a cat at the playground.

 


 

Jungkook skips down the sidewalk, a rubber ball under one arm and happily humming to a song he heard on a cartoon on TV. 

There's a playground a few blocks away from his house and he frequently goes there after his dad picks him up from elementary school as a reward for finishing his homework. 

As a slider and monkey bars come into view, peeking up from over the wooden fence surrounding the place, he walks faster, but his little feet aren't fully able to translate all his excitement into speed. 

He almost trips a couple of times, but holds onto the ball more securely and continues on. 

He goes towards the sandbox, putting the rubber ball to the side to play with it later, and starts working on a sand castle. 

 

 

He should've brought a bucket, is what crosses his mind half an hour later, it would have made his task much easier. But he didn't, and now he's sitting there with a lopsided castle  and hands covered in sand. 

He looks from side to side, trying to find something that could help him with his task, and his eyes stop on another kid, sitting to his right on the other side of the sandbox. 

The other boy seems smaller than him and he's looking down at the objects scattered around him; a small bucket, some plastic shovels and two smaller pots. 

Jungkook's eyes brighten up and he gets up to approach the other. 

"Hey! Can I play with you?" 

The other boy looks up, triangular eyes squinting because of the sun and making his nose scrunch up a little. 

Jungkook smiles at him, waiting for an answer. Thinks he looks like a kitten, adorably and curiously staring at someone. 

"Ok…" Comes the response, barely audible, but Jungkook is close enough to hear it and so he squeals, clapping his hands. 

"What's your name?" Jungkook asks after sitting down and starting to fill the bucket with sand. 

"Yoongi." 

"Cute! I'm Jungkook, nice to meet you!" 

Yoongi looks at him and smiles, shy. 

Jungkook grins. 

 

 

They play for a few hours, until the sun starts setting and Jungkook's mom goes to pick him up. 

When she arrives at the playground she is met with the sight of Jungkook holding a set of toys in one hand, a rubber ball under the same arm and a boy clutching at his other hand. 

She seems confused, but before she can ask what is happening Jungkook walks forward, blurts out, "Mom, look! I've found a kitten! Can we take him home, please??" 

Yoongi blushes slightly and tries to hide behind Jungkook. 

Jungkook's mom bites her lips, trying to contain her laugher. "Why don't we call his mom first, we can ask her if he can have dinner with us." 

Jungkook jumps up and down, hand tightening around Yoongi's, and smiles even wider. He expectantly stares at the smaller boy. 

Yoongi stares back, unable to contain the small curl of his own lips, "Ok."
