Present Twenty Four

Present For You ft. Jae Joong

page-divider-105.gif

You arrived at your hometown before lunch time. You had suggested doing some grocery shopping for dinner and take out for lunch to Jae joong in which he delightfully accept the suggestion.

And now here you are standing in front of your late parent’s house. It just a medium size traditional Korean house with some fuse of western decoration. This is the house where you build your dream to be a photographer like your late mother. And Gaeun’s parent had volunteer to take care of the house whilst you chasing your dream.

“Its beautiful.”

You turn to look at your side, seeing how Jae Joong admires things around him. You chuckle softly before unlock the door and invite Jae Joong to come in. “Welcome to my parent’s humble abode.”

Jae Joong rolls his eyes before steps into the house and put both of your luggages at the entrance as you put down the grocery on the kitchen counter.

“Where is your room?” He asked.

“Walk straight through that hallway and it second door on your left.”

Jae Joong nods before he once again drag the luggage with him whilst you busy stuffing the empty fridge with the foods. After all you are going to live here for two days. Finally putting your lunch into proper plate, you walk to your room only to find Jae Joong in the middle of looking at your childhood album.

You lean to the doorway, watching your lover. “That is the breach of privacy you know.”

Jae Joong looks up only to flash you small smirk. “I don’t know that it’s wrong to look at my girlfriend childhood album.”

You take a seat next to him, resting your chin on his shoulder and playfully cover his eyes. “It full with embarrassing stuff and it will ruin my reputation.”

“Aren’t you are the one who always ruining your own reputation?” He teased only for you to slaps his shoulder after that.

“I’m hungry. Let’s eat! And we can go explore around after that. There is so much that I want to show to you.” You excitedly announce whilst pull his hand to get off of the bed.

Small smile creeps on Jae Joong’s lips. He practically never sees you this excited before and to see this new side of you definitely amuse him.

-

Both of you using the old bicycle of your late parents to move around. You couldn’t help but feel giddy when you sit behind and Jae Joong is the one who led the way with your help. The first place that you bring him is to your high school.

You show him around the school; your class, the library and the club that you used to be in. Once in a while, Jae Joong will tease and make stupid comment only to earn either playfully slaps or shot of dagger from you.

You sit on the bench at the playground and stretch a little after walking around. Luckily it’s a holiday so there is no one around other than guard.

“So how many boyfriends you have in high school?” Jae Joong drapes his arm around your shoulder.

You rise up your hands and start to count with a frown on your forehead, acting like you are trying to concentrate in counting. And when it past ten fingers, Jae Joong impatiently takes a hold of your hands.

“Yah! How many boy you had that making it hard to count?”

You burst out in laughter. “Actually none. I’m more like ms wallflower in school and university. Study is my priority.”

He grumbles under his breath at the fact that Seunghyun is your first love. Shaking his head a little, he trying to get rid the jealousy that starting to creep on his chest. “Why do you want to be a photographer actually?”

Your purse out your lower lips a little, fiddling with the hems of your shirt. “Hmmm actually the real reason is because I want to be like my mother. You know all charismatic and always in demand. Her job seems fun and she always passionate about her job but when I involve in this field I realize it just not a passion. It more than that. You are living in that moment and you capture it because you don’t want to forget about it and to share the feeling with others. I want to convey my feeling to others whenever they see my work but I never thought that I will end up in the entertainment industry.”

You shift your gaze to meet with Jae Joong’s who’s staring at you intently. And you feel your face grew hot. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I feel grateful. Because you never give up on your dream and because of your dream, I can meet you.”

“ Yeah. Say the one who try to bribe me at the first place.” You teased.

He gasped before pull you closer to him. “That’s not my intention, jagiya. I’m trying to protect Yunho’s privacy at that time.”

You stretch out your hand and gently caress his cheek. “I know. You are such a good friend, Jae. If I’m at your place, I will do exactly the same thing.”

You lean closer to give him Eskimo kiss and leans away after that. “Let’s go get us some ice cream and head to waterfall after that!”

-

“Jimin.”

You are in the middle of choosing ice cream for both of you and Jae Joong when a familiar voice greet. Your eyes widen when Mrs Kang appear.

“Aunty!” You squeal excitedly before Mrs Kang pulls you into a hug.

“I didn’t know you are going back. Gaeun didn’t even say anything when she call last night.”

You laugh nervously at Mrs Kang statement and your eyes flickering around, hoping Jae Joong wouldn’t appear for the mean time.

 “No. Gaeun didn’t know that I’m coming back. I’m just going to stay here for the weekend.” You explained.

“Jagiya, do you want some water?”

Of course fate always has it way to ruin your life. You turn around and see Jae Joong hold a bottle of water and confusion written on his face at the way you look at his face.

“Who is this?” Mrs Kang squint her eyes as she look at Jae Joong. Of course she knew the man in front of her is an idol since this man face is practically anywhere on Gaeun’s bedroom along with other boys and she practically has seen the same face like few years to able to recognize Jae Joong. But the question is why he is here with Jimin?

“Hello, I’m Kim Jae Joong. Jimin’s-“

“Friend!” You cut off his words with a nervous laughter as Mrs Kang and Jae Joong shaking hand with each other.

Jae Joong gives you an incredulous look whilst you give an expression to just play along with you for now.

“I see.” Mrs Kang eyeing Jae Joong for a few moments before turns her attention toward you back. “Why don’t you bring your friend to my house for dinner tonight? I will cook your favorite meals.”

“O-Of course, aunty.”

You waves your hands toward Mrs Kang until her figure gone from the sight only to feel shiver send down to your spine at the way Jae Joong look at you.

“Friend huh? Well why don’t we go and pay for the ice cream? This FRIEND of yours will treat you.” Jae Joong intentionally presses the word friend before walk to the counter with a poker face.

“!” You curse under your breathe. There is going to be a long explanation to do.
