SPLIT (COMPLETED)

how do I say this

"Eomma, appa, we have to go now but I promise Jungkook and I will visit you two again.", Chaeyoung says as she turns to see the man standing beside her smiling warmly at her.

"We'll come again after our wedding.", Jungkook adds as he talks in front of the tombstones of Chaeyoung's parents.

Chaeyoung holds Jungkook's hand as she takes a step to her older sister's tombstone beside her mother's. "I'll come here again next time, unnie.", she says as she touched the stone engraved with her sister's name dearly.

After saying her goodbye to her family, Jungkook takes her back to Seoul because he has an important meeting at Seoul FC's headquarters. Along the way back, he can see how Chaeyoung is pouting and keeping herself silent with him. He knows she feels sad to leave Busan early.

She has planned to stay the night there after introducing him as her husband-to-be to her family. She wants to spend some time there to try remembering her good old days with her family.

"Are you mad at me?", Jungkook asks as he slowly tries to reach her hand to hold it.

Chaeyoung turns to look at him as he touched her hand. "No..", she briefly answered him.

"Chae, tell me the truth. You've been quiet since we left the cemetery.", Jungkook wants her to be honest with him as he squeezes her hand softly. "You're mad that I take you back this soon?", he asks without letting go of her hand.

Chaeyoung shakes her head, "No, Kookie. I just...feel a bit sad to leave the city so soon. I thought we could take a rest for a while from our wedding preparation but it seems like we have no break from it."

Jungkook looks at her as they stop at the traffic light. "I'm sorry if I make everything to go in a rush. I just want us to have the wedding before the new year, that's all.", he tells her as he takes the blame even though Chaeyoung does not mean to blame him.

After the unexpected proposal he did three weeks ago, he planned with her to have their wedding at the end of December which will be two weeks from now. He wants it to happen before the New Year because he will surely be busy again after that. Chaeyoung agreed to it initially, not knowing that the preparation is quite a tiring process for her.

"Kookie, I'm not blaming you. Don't say sorry to me.", Chaeyoung replies as she puts her forefinger on Jungkook's lips.

He wants to say sorry to her again but she tells him to stop instead. "Stop it or I kiss you.", she adds before he opens his mouth again.

And just as Chaeyoung said, she gives Jungkook a quick peck but he turns it into a long kiss instead. Chaeyoung wants to push him away but his right hand wrapped around her neck prevents her from moving back. Only when the car behind their car makes a loud honking sound, Chaeyoung strongly pushes his chest with her hands while telling him to start driving again.

"You made me do it though.", Jungkook says with a giggle.

"Shut up. Focus on your driving, mister.", Chaeyoung replies as she looks out through the window with a shy smile on her face.

Taehyung shows a big smile as the representative from the London club has done talking about the benefits and perks if Jungkook agrees to sign a contract with them. He, alongside with the owner of Seoul FC looks at Jungkook anticipating for the loyal player to say something.

"Umm...how do I say this?", Jungkook utters out while thinking. "When...do I have to go?", he asks the Englishman in front of him sitting at the other end of the discussion table.

His question receives different reactions from everyone present in the discussion room.

"You decide to go?", the owner, Lee Jehoon asks in Korean.

"For real, JK?", Taehyung asks as an agent to him.

He looks at both men and nods his head.

"I know how I've always rejected offers that came for me before but now I guess it's time...for me to seek another adventure. I hope you accept my decision, Lee Jehoon-ssi. I love this club, I've been here since my youth and stay loyal until now. I know it's hard for you to see me leaving. I feel the same way honestly but I hope you don't get mad at me, sir.", he speaks to the owner of the club he has been playing for his entire career.

Jehoon slowly nods his head back to Jungkook, "You're a great man, Jungkook. You being loyal to this club is something to be respect of. If you ask me, I won't lie I was expecting when will you say yes to this kind of offers. It's not that I don't like you or want to see you go but I know you will only do so when the right time comes. You know these clubs are always eyeing you in the pitch and you always give your best for them to see. I hope you keep being the great player you are even if you leave us."

The news about Jungkook having a meeting with a representative from London spreads wildly on the Net after a reporter managed to interview the Englishman that was seen at the club's headquarters.

It has not been even an hour after the meeting but everyone has talked about Jungkook whether he will leave Seoul FC or not. Jungkook, himself got calls and messages from his friends but he ignores them all while having lunch with Taehyung. Even Taehyung finds it tiring to tell everyone that called him to wait for an official statement about Jungkook.

"I am so going to go find that reporter. How could he found out we're having a meeting with a rep from London?", Taehyung sighs as he puts his phone on the table.

Jungkook relaxedly takes the last sip of his tea before speaking, "Chill, hyung. The rep didn't say anything and even if everyone is wondering, I guess they know already what my decision is."

"Yeah, but still...", Taehyung stops when Jungkook's phone rings.

"Wait, hyung.", Jungkook says as he recognised the song played when his phone rings. He has set a different song for Chaeyoung's number so he knows that it is her calling him. "Hey, Love.", he greets as he answers her call.

"Baby, where are you?", Chaeyoung asks right after that.

Jungkook looks at his watch and tells her that he is having a lunch with Taehyung.

"Oh, I just called because of the articles saying about you leaving your club..", Chaeyoung says when Jungkook asked her if there is anything she wants him to buy for her.

"Oh, that..we'll talk later when I get home?", he says before they end the call.

"Speaking of Chaeyoung, your wedding will be held before Christmas, right? Two weeks from now?", Taehyung asks after Jungkook puts his phone in his pocket.

Jungkook nods his head, "Speaking about it, I think I'll have to change the date."

"Change the date?", Taehyung asks for more information.

"Yes, and I need some help with it.", Jungkook says to the elder.
