Double Trouble | JJK

Seventy-six

Day six.

I was watching Netflix on my laptop since it was a lazy Friday night. I have gotten my report card earlier, and my grades weren't unfazed even if I dealt with a lot of stress. I couldn't have felt prouder in myself, knowing that even in difficult times, studying helps a lot.

That was when my phone started ringing. I looked at the caller I.D, to see it was Jungkook. I made a sound of confusion before I swipe the green, answer button, holding the phone up to my ear.

"Hello?"

"Hey." Jungkook spoke, "I just wanted to call and check if you have anything to do tonight, because I have something planned for the both of us."

I looked at the popcorn bowl rested on my lap, my laptop in front of me, and a tissue box beside me. I shrugged at myself, "No, I don't."

"Great!" Jungkook cheered, "Since this is a secret, I want you to wear an evening dress, put any makeup on- just make yourself feel pretty, okay?"

I looked at my mini wall clock on the wall in front of me. 7:36 PM. I opened my mouth, but no words came out. But, I cleared my throat.

"Uh, okay."

"I'll see you downstairs at 8:30?" Jungkook offered. I mentally solved how long it will take me to get ready, and I hummed in acknowledgement. "8:30 it is."

The phone call ended, and I quickly jump out of bed. I placed the tissue box and the popcorn bowl on my bedside table, while I placed my laptop on my desk.

I rushed to my closet, and looked at all the elegant dresses that I have in stock. I tapped my finger against my chin as I took out a black satin wrap dress. It was the only dress that wasn't light or any color I'd normally wear, so I guess this is a special one.

I gently placed the dress onto my bed as I looked around for shoes. I took out a pair of black, strappy heels and placed them at the foot of my bed. I then ran frantically to my closet again, digging for accessories.

A knock on my door cut off my thoughts. I turned to the door, to see Mom walk in. She seemed shocked as I was rushing around my room as if the room was on fire.

"Woah, woah there." Mom spoke, "What's going on here? What's with the rush at seven at night?" I paused in my steps as I turned to her, smiling a bit.

She seemed a bit confused and mad since her arms were crossed over her chest as a raised eyebrow was shown towards me, causing me to become nervous than ever.

"Hi, Mom." I greeted, "Jungkook asked me out on a date again, and this time he told me to wear an evening dress, so I'm looking through my closet for accessories."

Mom then softly unfolded her arms as she walked further into my room. She eyed the dress on my bed before she walked to my closet. She took out my box full of jewelry, and took out silver hoop earrings, before plopping them onto the dress.

"These would look good." She spoke, "Then, for your makeup, a light beige and natural look would do. Your hair would be curled at the end, while straightened in the middle."

I was shocked, seeing her chuckle at my reaction. "I'm helping you, honey. I want you to look as beautiful as I did when I went on a date with your father- now, move, we have a lot to do."

"Roll your lips for me." Mom ordered softly as she placed the tube of the lipstick into her makeup kit. I obeyed, rolling my lips, feeling the lipstick coat the places of my lip which haven't been painted with the red color.
