Jongkook stands with his feet a little wider that his hip width while toes facing front. He drives his hips back – bending at the knees and ankles while pressing his knees slightly open. After that, Jongkook sits into a squat position while still keeping his heels and toes on the ground, chest up and shoulders back. He strives to eventually reach parallel, meaning knees are bent to a 90-degree angle. He keeps repeating it for three sets of 10 to 15 reps.

 

             After done doing his squat workout, he instantly goes to the kitchen and opens his fridge. He takes out his shake protein that Jihyo made for him and gulps it rapidly. He often drinks his shake protein whenever Jihyo is not at his apartment because he is too lazy to cook and order food. 

 

             Jongkook turns his head away at his door as he aware that someone is pressing his door’s passcode. Jihyo enters his apartment by the door making him smile from ear to ear while immediately putting his protein shake on the table.

 

             “Jihyo.”, Jongkook calls her.

 

             “Oppa.”, Jihyo smiles. 

 

             “Are you having fun with Hyemin, Hongda and your friends?”, Jongkook asks Jihyo’s day as she is celebrating her birthday with her friends.

 

             “Eo. But it will be a lot of fun if you are there.”, Jihyo scrunches her nose while rubbing Jongkook’s chin as she enters and putting some food on the table.

 

             “You know I can’t join.”, Jongkook replies while following Jihyo to the kitchen.

 

             “Eo, you already drink your protein shake?”, Jihyo asks as she looks at the protein shake on the kitchen table. “I bought foods.”, Jihyo says while looking at Jongkook.        

 

             “I can eat more.”, Jongkook smiles. Fortunately, he didn’t gobble down all his protein shake.

 

             “Jinjja?”, Jihyo asks in excitement.

 

             “Eo. What did you bring? Looks like fried chicken. Keutji?”, Jongkook predicts.

 

             “Eo. Do you want? By how it’s look, you’re sweating. Just finish working out, keutji? Can you eat the fried chicken? If not I will order other food for you, oppa?”, Jihyo asks softly while looking at Jongkook.

 

             “Aniya. Gwenchana. I will eat the fried chicken with you.”, Jongkook gives in because he is too happy to see Jihyo. She’s freaking cute.

 

             “Keurae? Kereom uri meogja palli!”, Jihyo exclaims as she takes out the fried chicken from the plastic bag.

 

             “Keurae.”, Jongkook chuckles.

 

             “I bought Coke for you. Do you want, oppa?”, Jihyo asks as she takes her seat.

 

             “Isseo? Eo. I want.”, Jongkook nods.

 

             “Do you still have my soju in the cabinet?”, Jihyo asks Jongkook regarding her soju in the cabinet. Since Jongkook didn’t drink, he keeps Jihyo’s soju and beer in the cabinet. Afraid that someone will notice the drinks in Jongkook’s fridge. Especially during Mom’s Diary filming at his house.

 

             “I think you still have two bottles. I’ll take it for you.”, Jongkook quickly stands up and reaches for the soju bottle in his cabinet.

 

             “Eo, isseo!”, Jihyo exclaims as he sees Jongkook taking out a bottle of soju from the cabinet.

 

             “Eo.”, Jongkook chuckles. He puts it on the table next to Jihyo but quickly takes it back. “Jamkan.”, he says.

 

             “Wae, oppa?”, Jihyo asks in puzzle. 

 

             “You’re celebrating your birthday with your friends so I assumed that you’re drinking too earlier.”, Jongkook predicts while tilting his head.

 

             “Eo…. I drank.”, Jihyo admits.

 

             “That’s enough, Song Jihyo. Don’t drink anymore for today.”, Jongkook says while putting the soju into his cabinet again.

 

             “Can’t I just drink, oppa?”, Jihyo asks in sullen while looking at Jongkook.

 

             “Andwae.”, Jongkook shakes his head while taking his seat back.

 

             “Ahhh, oppa. Just one bottle. Eo?”, Jihyo asks while showing his index finger to Jongkook.

 

             “Andwae, Song Jihyo.”, Jongkook emphasizes while looking at Jihyo.

 

             “Keunyang hanbonman, oppa. Eo?”, Jihyo whines while making her cute face to win Jongkook’s heart.

 

             “Andwae, Song Jihyo. Listen to me. Eo?”, Jongkook persuades while rubbing Jihyo’s cheek.

 

             “Ahhh you’re not fun. You’re not drinking with me because you didn’t drink. But you always forbid me from drinking too much.”, Jihyo’s voicing her displeasure. 

 

             “Jihyo.”, Jongkook calls her to calm her down.

 

             “Can you just drink and enjoy, oppa?”, Jihyo suggests a ridiculous idea to the healthy muscle man in front of her.

 

             “Ani.”, Jongkook insists while shaking his head.

 

             “Keureom. Let me drink, jebal.”, Jihyo tries to persuade again.             

 

             “When is the last day you work out?”, Jongkook fires.

 

             “Emmm….. last two weeks….”, Jihyo lowers her gazes. She knows she is defeated by her boyfriend.

 

             “so I guess that’s explain much why I didn’t let you drink anymore, Cheon Sooyeon.”, Jongkook smiles while patting her head.

 

             “Arasseo. I’ll start working out again this week.”, Jihyo plays with her fingers.

 

             “Eo. Meogja!”, Jongkook says while kissing Jihyo’s hand. To stop her from tingling her fingers.

 

             He opens the boxes and the spicy sauce of the chicken pierce through their nose. It’s smell good but somehow it looks so red as chili.

 

             “Eo?”, Jihyo asks while looking at the fried chicken in the two boxes in front of her.

 

             “You ordered the spicy one?”, Jongkook asks Jihyo while looking at the fried chicken and also Jihyo.

 

             “I didn’t. I ordered the original one and honey butter for us, oppa. Do you think they’re mistaken?”, Jihyo asks with her mong face.

 

             “I think so. Keureom ottoke? We both can’t eat spicy.”, Jongkook also dumfounded. 

 

             “Na baeugeuppa.”, Jihyo says in sullen.

 

             “Should we go buy the new one, Jihyo?”, Jongkook persuades his girlfriend. He doesn’t want to make her sad by eating the spicy fried chicken that both of them can’t bear the spiciness. He even forbids her to drink earlier.

 

             “Ani. The restaurant is probably closed right now. It’s almost 12:00 am, oppa.”, Jihyo pouts .

 

             “Ottoke? I don’t have ramyeon.”, Jongkook says.

 

             “Do you have milk in the fridge?”, Jihyo asks.

 

             “I’m out of it.”, Jongkook sighs.             

 

             “Keureom I don’t have any choice. I’ll just eat this.”, Jihyo says while taking a piece of drumstick from the box.

 

             “Are you sure?”, Jongkook asks while stopping Jihyo.

 

             “Na jinjja baeugeuppa, oppa.”, Jihyo pouts. “You have to eat with me.”, Jihyo requests.

 

             “Emmmm. Keurae? Should I?”, Jongkook stares at the spicy fried chicken.

 

             “I’ll taste it first. If it’s not that spicy, I will tell you, eo?”, Jihyo smiles.

 

             “Eo.”, Jongkook nods.

 

             Jihyo takes a bite of the spicy fried chicken as she is too hungry despite having a party celebration for her birthday earlier. It’s a supper with Jongkook actually.

 

             “Gwenchana?”, Jongkook asks in worry.

 

             “Eo? Massisseo. It’s not the spicy, oppa.”, Jihyo opens her eyes widely while giving a thumb up to Jongkook. She munches the food really well.

 

             “Keureom, I should eat too.”, Jongkook smiles while taking a piece of the spicy fried chicken. He quickly takes a bite and chew it gently in his mouth. After few seconds, Jongkook coughs as the spiciness attack his mouth. His eyes teary and he quickly puts down the fried chicken. 

 

“Jihyo…. You told me it’s not that spicy. Igae mwoya?”, Jongkook asks in disbelief while coughing. He quickly takes out the cold water from the fridge and gobble down.

 

“Oppa. Jinjja maeun, keutji?”, Jihyo asks while snatching the cold water form Jongkook’s hand and rapidly gobble down it too.

 

“Eo?”, Jongkook asks in puzzle while looking at Jihyo. He thought that Jihyo told him earlier that it’s not that spicy.

 

“Wae?”, Jihyo chuckles.

 

“Ya, neo goetjimal.”, Jongkook sighs as he is scammed by his own girlfriend.

 

“Let’s continue to eat.”, Jihyo smiles while grabbing Jongkook’s hand to the table.

 

“Ddo? It’s spicy for you too, right?”, Jongkook asks in disbelief.

 

“Ottoke? Na jinjja baegeuppa.”, Jihyo pouts.

 

“Can we eat anything else, Jihyo?”, Jongkook suggests. He can’t take the spiciness anymore.

 

“There’s nothing.”, Jihyo utters in sullen. “I don’t like to waste food too. You know that. I’ll eat this by myself, oppa.”, Jihyo says.

 

“Ani…. Keurae. I’ll eat with you too.”, Jongkook gives in though it’s spicy for him. No. For them. He can’t give in and let Jihyo eat alone the spicy fried chicken.

 

“Keurae?”, Jihyo asks happily.

 

“Eo.”, Jongkook nods.

 

As both of them munching and chewing the hot and spicy fried chicken, both of them get teary eyes while chuckling. They can’t believe they force themselves to eat the spicy fried chicken because they are too hungry.

 

“I think I’m crazy for eating this too much, oppa.”, Jihyo sniffles while laughing.

 

“Nado, Jihyo.”, Jongkook nods while wiping his snorts that keeps coming out from his nose.

 

“We should stop, oppa. I think this enough. You have your shoot tomorrow. What if something bad happen?”, Jihyo asks in worry.

 

“Eo. Keokjeong hajima. I’m your muscle man. Nothing bad happen.”, Jongkook assures not to worry Jihyo.

 

“I told you muscle man can get sick too.”, Jihyo glares.

 

“Arasseo. We should stop. Are you full?”, Jongkook asks to make sure. Though he knows that Jihyo is still not full since she can’t enjoy eating her food. Same goes to him.

 

“Ani. But I think it’s fine now.”, Jihyo nods.

 

“Keurae.”, Jongkook nods. He helps Jihyo to clean the table and immediately washing his hands.

 

“Ahhhhh! What can I do to make this spiciness go away?”, Jihyo groans while pacing back and forth in the living room. The spiciness makes her goes crazy. She keeps fanning herself with her hand for hoping that the spiciness will go away.

 

“Nado molla.”, Jongkook joins. The spiciness hit both of them.

 

“Should we open the window, oppa?”, Jihyo suggests.

 

“Ani. That makes nothing different.”, Jongkook answers.

 

“Keureom ottoke?”, Jihyo almost getting upset. Not upset at Jongkook but upset to the spiciness bombed in .

 

“Should I kiss you? Who knows that will make the spiciness go away?”, Jongkook chuckles though he himself get teary eyes by the spiciness.

 

“Should we try?”, Jihyo anticipates bring Jongkook to surprise.

 

“Keurae?”, Jongkook giggles.

 

“Eo. Let’s try.”, Jihyo says desperately and quickly kiss Jongkook. Though Jongkook surprise by Jihyo’s desperation move, he quickly kisses back. 

 

“Ahhhhh!”, Jihyo pulls away from the kiss while wiping .

 

“Wae wae?”, Jongkook asks in panic as he afraid that he might hurt Jihyo.

 

“Your mouth spicy. Making the spiciness burns into my mouth more.”, Jihyo whines.

 

“Then it’s not working. I taste your spiciness mouth and tongue too.”, Jongkook chuckles.

 

“Michesseo.”, Jihyo chuckles.

 

…

 

Jihyo goes to her agency early in the morning since there are more birthday presents from her fans. International and locals. She looks at it one by one and smiles. 

 

There are balloons with her initial ‘SJH’ and cartoon character, cakes, pictures frame of Joo Heera; Witch’s Diner character, plants, and even heartfelt messages from her fans. This year birthday presents and gifts, she receives a lot of Winnie the Pooh dolls and gifts. Since she told the world that her ideal type is someone who looks like Winnie the Pooh, all of her fans want to be that Winnie the Pooh for her without knowing that the Winnie the Pooh in Jihyo’s life is Kim Jongkook.

 

“Don’t tell me you will bring a cake in my house again, Jihyo.”, Jongkook predicts as he enters Jihyo’s van after helping her and her staffs to get the presents.

 

“How do you know? You’re so clever, oppa.”, Jihyo smiles while rubbing Jongkook’s chin.

 

“I’m getting sick of cake right now. It’s too sweet.”, Jongkook whines.

 

“How dare you told me that? It’s my fan’s presents for me.”, Jihyo pouts while crossing her arms.

 

“Ani… you know I don’t eat sweet things.”, Jongkook defends.

 

“Once in a while is gwenchana, oppa.”, Jihyo stuck out her tongue.

 

“Should we go to your house or Jongkook hyung’s house, noona?”, Hyunsoo asks as he starts to drive.

 

“My house, Hyunsoo.”, Jihyo replies.

 

“Ne.”, Hyunsoo nods while releasing the hand break. 

 

Hyunsoo and Jongkook help Jihyo bringing all the gifts and presents inside Jihyo’s house. It’s not that much since she already brought the other gifts on her birthday and Tuesday.

 

“Gomawo, Hyunsoo.”, Jihyo thanks Hyunsoo after all her birthday presents are inside her house.

 

“You stay here with Jongkook hyung?”, Hyunsoo asks.

 

“Eo. I have my car. You can take the van and go home or anywhere.”, Jihyo informs.

 

“Ne, noona. See you on Monday.”, Hyunsoo nods while excusing himself.

 

“Can we go inside first, oppa?”, Jihyo requests to Jongkook.

 

“Eo.”, Jongkook nods while grabbing Jihyo’s arm.

 

Jongkook takes Jihyo’s picture as she wants to, to post it on her Instagram to show her gratitude to her fans.

 

“Neomu manha Winnie the Pooh.”, Jongkook chuckles.

 

“It’s you, oppa.”, Jihyo chuckles too.

 

“You should give me one.”, Jongkook requests.

 

“Andwae. It’s mine. My fans give it to me. I can’t give their presents to you.”, Jihyo frowns.

 

“Arasseo. I won’t, Cheon Sooyeon.”, Jongkook says. “Why would I need the Winnie the Pooh stuffs when I’m the real Winnie the Pooh for you.”, Jongkook smiles while hugging Jihyo’s waist.

 

“Good that you know.”, Jihyo giggles while tapping Jongkook’s nose.

 

“Seongim?”, Gwija calls as she enters the living room to find Jihyo.

 

“Eo, omma.”, Jihyo quickly pulls away Jongkook’s hug.

 

“Eo…. Annyeonghaseyo, eomonim.”, Jongkook flusters but quickly greets Jihyo’s mother.

 

“Eo, Jongkook ddo isseo.”, Gwija greets back.

 

“Wae, omma?”, Jihyo asks.

 

“Ani. I thought I want to ask you for bringing me to grocery shopping since appa’s out. Gwenchana, next time.”, Gwija says while nodding.

 

“Eomonim, I can bring you. We can go together.”, Jongkook offers as he sees Jihyo’s mother is backing out from her plan with her daughter.

 

“Keurae, Jongkook? I’m not troubling you or disturbing your time with Seongim?”, Gwija asks while looking at Jongkook.

 

“Aniyo, eomonim. We can go together.”, Jongkook smiles.

 

“Gwenchana, oppa?”, Jihyo asks too.

 

“Eo. We still don’t have any plan yet.”, Jongkook assures.

 

“By the way, where is appa going, omma?”, Jihyo asks.

 

“He says he wants to meet with his old friends.”, Gwija answers.

 

“Should we go now?”, Jongkook asks to Jihyo and Gwija.

 

“Keurae, Jongkook. Wait in the car. I’ll take my stuffs.”, Gwija says.

 

Jongkook, Jihyo and Gwija go to the supermarket nearby, where Jihyo’s family went to grocery shopping. Emart Mapo Store is one of the most popular supermarket in Korea, opened in 1993. Despite of the cheap price of the products in the store, it’s also spacious and easy to find things people want to buy since it has a good layout.

 

“Seongim, can you get the favorite chips that your appa like? I want to get some things over there.”, Gwija asks to her daughter while pointing her finger at the meat section.

 

“Eo, omma.”, Jihyo nods. She quickly goes to find her father’s favorite chips along with Jongkook. 

 

Kkokkal Corn, Shrimp Flavored Crackers, Honey Butter Chip, Pocachip, Turtle Chips and more chips are displayed there. Jihyo takes the Turtle Chips as she found her father’s favorite chips and put it into the trolley.

 

“That is appa’s favorite?”, Jongkook asks as he looks at Jihyo.

 

“Eo. Appa likes the cinnamon flavors one.”, Jihyo answers.

 

“Keurae?”, Jongkook nods.

 

“Oppa, let’s buy our groceries too. We are running out of milk, soju and your chicken . And other things too.”, Jihyo requests.

 

“Gwenchana. I will buy it later.”, Jongkook refuses since they are with her mother.

 

“Just buy now, eo?”, Jihyo says while pushing the trolley leaving Jongkook. He probably can’t refuse that girlfriend of his.

 

“Let me push the trolley.”, Jongkook offers while pushing Jihyo lightly.

 

Jihyo takes milk, soju, beer, chicken , ramyeon and more to fill Jongkook’s stock later in his apartment. There are still not going to grocery shopping for that month since they can’t find time and they are just return from Jeju Island.

 

“Are you sure we are running out all of it?”, Jongkook asks Jihyo as she looks like she just put anything in the trolley. Almost full.

 

“Eo, oppa. I know better since I handle your kitchen, eo? You just eat and drink what I prepared so you don’t know.”, Jihyo explains.

 

“Keurae.”, Jongkook gives in again. Jihyo is doing all the house chores in his house so he probably can’t win this one. Just that this time it’s look a lot. Or is he nervous that he is going grocery shopping with her future mother-in-law?

 

“Jihyo, the laundry perfume and softener. Do we still have it?”, Jongkook asks.

 

“Eo, maja. We are almost running out of it. I’ll take it.”, Jihyo says.

 

Jongkook follows Jihyo to the laundry section and takes the laundry perfume and also softener. As both of them wants to avoid people, Jongkook accidentally bumps an old woman’s shoulder. 

 

“Eo. Jeuseonghamnida, eomonim.”, Jongkook apologizes while bowing. “Gwenchanayo, eomonim?”, Jongkook asks politely.

 

“Ne, ne. Gwenchanayo. Nado jeuseonghamnida. I can’t see a big man in front of me since my eyes are too focused looking at those things.”, the woman chuckles while pointing at the softener.

 

“Arasseoyo, eomonim. Have a nice day.”, Jongkook bows while excusing himself. He walks with Jihyo but get stop immediately by the old woman again.

 

“Jamkanmanyo. Are you perhaps, the singer Kim Jongkook?”, the woman goes next to Jongkook and peeks on him. As Jihyo sense some danger might come to them, she instantly walks away from Jongkook as if she doesn’t know him to avoid people recognize them. Seeing her with Jongkook at her neighborhood will probably lead some rumors.

 

“Aniyo, eomonim.”, Jongkook bows again while waving his hand.

 

“Keuraeyo? Your body looks like him. And so your voice.”, the woman frowns as she tries to peek Jongkook’s face again since he wears his mask and cap. “Is that your girlfriend?”, the woman asks while pointing at Jihyo who is already running away from them.

 

“Aniyo, eomonim. I don’t know her.”, Jongkook lies.

 

“Keuraeyo? I guess I’m mistaken then. I thought she is Song Jihyo and you’re Kim Jongkook. I guess I’m seeing things after watching Runningman marathon for few days.”, the woman giggles. “Jeuseonghamnida.”, the woman apologizes while tapping Jongkook’s shoulder.

 

“Ne.”, Jongkook bows slightly and walks away from her as the woman also excuses herself.

 

“Sooyeon.”, Jongkook calls Jihyo as she looks for her earlier.

 

“Almost.”, Jihyo shakes her head.

 

“Maja.”, Jongkook sighs.

 

“Seongim. I’m done. let’s go.”, Gwija says as she walks to them and put some stuffs and meat to the trolley. They go to the counter in front and Jongkook quickly takes out his card to pay for the groceries.

 

“Oppa.”, Jihyo stops him as he looks Jongkook going to pay for the groceries.

 

“Gwenchana. There’s a lot of our groceries too. Let me, eo?”, Jongkook asks politely to win Jihyo’s heart. 

 

“Keurae.”, Jihyo gives in. 

 

All of them returns to Jihyo’s car and put all the groceries stuffs in the car.

 

“You don’t have to, Jongkook.”, Gwija says as they enter the car.

 

“Aniyo, eomonim. There’s a lot of me and Jihyo’s groceries stuffs. I think it’ right for me to pay.”, Jongkook assures.

 

“Arasseo if you said so.”, Gwija gives in.

 

“Omma, what do you want for dinner? We can go together or just taking away.”, Jihyo asks to her mother.

 

“Ani. You two just go by yourself. I’ll wait for appa later. He is on his way home.”, Gwija refuses.

 

“Eo, jinjja? Keuraeyo keureom.”, Jihyo agrees. 

 

Jongkook helps Jihyo and Gwija bringing all their groceries inside to the kitchen. They separate Jongkook and Jihyo’s groceries and Gwija’s groceries. 

 

“Mwoya?”, Gwija asks as she looks at the tons of almonds packet.

 

“It’s Jongkook oppa’s.”, Jihyo informs.

 

“You eat this, Jongkook?”, Gwija asks while pointing at the almond.

 

“Ne.”, Jongkook smiles.

 

“He mix it in his protein shake.”, Jihyo informs again.

 

“Eo. The one that you showed in Mom’s Diary when Seongim’s guesting. You still do that?”, Gwija asks in disbelief.

 

“Ne, eomonim. Jihyo makes it for me often.”, Jongkook admits shyly.

 

“Eat proper meals, Jongkook-a. I know how much you like to take care of your health, but sometimes you should eat proper meals, eo?”, Gwija persuades.

 

“Ne, eomonim. I take the protein shake only if Jihyo is not at my house.”, Jongkook informs.

 

“Keurae. I will pack the kimchi and other banchan for you to bring home. I guess you’re running out if too.”, Gwija says.

 

“Ne, eomonim. Gomawoyo.”, Jongkook thanks her.

 

“Gomawo, omma. I forgot to pack it.”, Jihyo thanks her mother too.

 

Jongkook and Jihyo goes straight away to Shinseon Seolleongtang Hongdae nearby Jihyo’s neighborhood at Mapogu as they want to have dinner. Jongkook suddenly craves for seolleongtang and they go straight away at the restaurant since it’s one of the best seolleongtang’s place.

 

“Sooyeon, do you want to watch sunrise tomorrow and have a light morning exercise?”, Jongkook suggests while finishing his bowl.

 

“Naeil? Keurae. I should start to exercise again. I skipped a lot.”, Jihyo agrees as she sips the broth.

 

“Yes. A lot.”, Jongkook shakes his head.

 

“I’m busy.”, Jihyo making excuses while glaring at Jongkook.

 

“Nado. But I didn’t skip.”, Jongkook smiles, challenging Jihyo.

 

“You’re different.”, Jihyo defends.

 

“Wae? Why are you different?”, Jongkook tests again.

 

“Woman has a lot of things to do. Laundry, cleaning, cooking and some sort of things.”, Jihyo replies.

 

“But still you should have time to work out.”, Jongkook says while tilting his head. Dissatisfy by Jihyo’s answer.

 

“I do laundry for my family and you too, oppa. I’m cleaning my house and your house too. I’m walking Hotteok to make her happy and not be bored at home. I also often cook for my family meals too and bought some at your house. I have two houses to take care of.”, Jihyo reveals.

 

“Eo… mian. I don’t know.”, Jongkook suddenly feels bad.

 

“And when I’m tired doing those things, I go to sleep. But people only think I’m at home and just sleeping all day since I’m a homebody. But that is just my character, oppa. You should know me better.”, Jihyo suddenly pours out.

 

“Mianhae, Jihyo. I don’t k
