SPLIT (COMPLETED)

you deserve a reward

Days passed since the article about Chaeyoung having a psychological problem came out to the whole country yet there are still some reporters not giving up to seek answers from her.

Today she left home with Seokjin and Jisoo to buy a dress for the annual dinner of Seoul FC that night. When she left home and came back, the same questions are asked to her but she remained silent as she entered her house with Jisoo. Fortunately, those reporters still know to respect her boundary. They never try to enter the gate and stay outside hoping to get Chaeyoung talking.

"They really don't listen.", Jisoo sighs as she sits on the sofa at the living room.

"They will give up within a week.", Chaeyoung says while eyeing the camera showing the front gate of her house.

"How do you know? From past reference?", Jisoo asks in curiosity.

Chaeyoung shakes her head as she checks out the dress she just bought.

"From Rosé. We talked about this and she told me to remain silent whenever I go out and have to face them. She told me being silent can draw them away. They will lose interest in me over time and she predicted it'll happen within a week.", Chaeyoung explains.

A nod is given as a response. "Then, there's 3 days more to go. I hope the road is clear again after that.", Jisoo says while changing the TV channels.

When Chaeyoung checks other things that she bought, her phone rings and she smiles as she sees Jungkook's name on the screen.

"Kookie, annyeong.", she greets him in excitement as she waves at Jisoo a goodbye before she goes into her room.

"Hey...you sound cheerful. What's going on?", he replies as he heard the sound of door closed in the background.

"What's going on? Nothing. I just...can't wait to meet you tonight.", she tells him as she lies down on her bed.

Jungkook giggles at her words before he gets back to be serious with her, "Did you open your social media account?"

A frown is formed on Chaeyoung's forehead before she says no to him. "Why? What else they say about me?", she asks him since she has never check any social medias after the article about her came out.

"Nothing. I just saw a fan's video. She was there at your house recording you came back home just now. I just wanted to check on you if you're alright.", he sounds concerned at the other end. "You've been looking to the ground only in the video. Are you okay, Chae?", he adds as he replays the short video again.

"Oh...yeah. I'm okay. Don't worry, Kookie.", she tells him. "I purposely looked at the ground. Rosé said I should act that way so the reporters stop coming here. She told me ignoring them like that will make them go away.", she adds.

"I see. So..you really are okay there? You really don't need me there with you?", Jungkook gives her questions that make her smile to him.

She likes to know how concerned he is about her. Even though they do not meet each other for four days straight now, he never forgets to call her. He always make time for her even though they are far away from each other.

"Jungkook..I am really okay here. You don't have to come here, Kookie.", she tells him as she hugs the pillow that Jungkook doodled on last time on her birthday. "Plus, we'll be meeting tonight. You'll see how happy I am when I see you later.", she adds earning another giggle from Jungkook.

"Talking about tonight, remember what I said last night, okay? Wait behind the gate until I call your name. Only then, you come out from your house.", Jungkook reminds her in case she will have to face the reporters again.
