"Jungkook!"
Jungkook, who was leaning on his car, looks up from his phone hearing his name and his eyes crinkle seeing someone run towards him. He stands straight, adjusting his clothes and lowers his mask. He really didn't want to come here alone, almost said no to Taehyung on call but something, just something in him said that this is where he should be, today.
"Sunbae," he smiles, bowing to Seojun who pats his shoulders.
"Look at you! Is it because all I see here are mud-covered faces or have you become more handsome in these past few months?" Seojun comments and laughs at his own joke. He does that often, exaggerating stories and situations to work in his favour so that he can make that one joke he's always been itching to say.
Jungkook grins before returning the compliment, "You seem to be glowing too, Sunbae."
"Oh really? Waking up at 5 in the morning does that to you."
Jungkook laughs along with him before Seojun gestures towards somewhere, urging him to walk."Let's get some lunch, we can talk there."
Jungkook nods, walking by him. Seojun is not easy to keep up a conversation with, Jungkook notes when the elder asks him about his work and then goes on to tell about his. Everything he says is layered with a series of triumphs, so much that it almost makes Jungkook scoff. He does remember Seojun bluffing some stories when they had met before, but God, did the military really build a whole castle for his ego?
It's not until they are at the restaurant, does Seojun come to the point. Near to it at the least, it is enough for Jungkook to initiate.
"Oh right, was Jimin not coming with you? Yesterday, when Taehyung had called me up, he said I should expect both of you."
Jungkook shakes his head and sighs, taking a seat and thanking the waiter that led them inside the restaurant. It's a typical fast food place near a military base, Jungkook would otherwise not eat but Seojun seems adamant about it.
"Yes, he was supposed to but..." he pauses and glances around. He has been worried that someone might recognise him and things would get out of hand if anyone gets the slightest hint on what he's talking about here."He couldn't, I mean he found his soulmate...and it is not really pleasant."
Seojun laughs. "That's wonderful though. I am sure they'll come around. My friend had found out that his one-night stand is his soulmate and literally got traumatised about any kind of intimacy. Only when his soulmate married someone else, he did realise her feelings about her. They had to flee to marry, I had helped them by arranging an on-air marriage to Mauritius for free, my uncle's son's friend is a pilot, you know? Let me know if you ever need—"
Jungkook almost wants to kneel and thank the waiter who interrupted them to take their order. After they order their food, it's as if Seojun forgets whatever he was talking about and moves on to another topic."How's Taehyung doing? Is he holding up well?"
