Jungkook ruminated about the causes possible behind Areum to call him up to the park today. When he was busy with his brain works, Taehyung snatched the gadget from his grip.
"Wooah look who's pinging him. Areum-ssi? You two are dating or what?" Taehyung asked with eyes wide open at the flashed screen.
"Lemme see. Areum-ssi huh?" Jimin yanked himself closer to Taehyung for having a glance at the device.
Jungkook snatched it back from him, "Stop it guys. I already told you that we're just friends. Don't bring up unnecessary comments on us both."
"Oh yeah Mr Caring Boyfriend," Taehyung glared at Jungkook, his eyes as shortened as a dart.
Jimin smacked his edges, "Better luck next time Jungkook but this isn't working. Find some other excuse cause I can't totally trust you in this case. Your eyes tell how much you are bothered over this lady so-called Areum."
"Snap it off you two. Will you? I need to go!" Jungkook dashed away to the exit.
Soon he heard a cry from the back. "There goes the most obedient boyfriend in the world for the sake of his precious girlfriend," cheered Taehyung and Jimin together.
Jungkook gaped at them once. Taehyung and Jimin read his lips which said, "Fuck off" before he vanished outside the gate.
"Hey!" Taehyung stomped his feet onto the grassy floor as Jimin sniggered a squeal on his side.

Jungkook's feet crossed the macadam road to arrive at an open iron gate. He slowly toed in, looking here and there to grasp the view of a known shadow. There was the woman, wearing a black crop top along with white ripped jeans. A grey messenger bag dangled on her left shoulder. Soon the girl also recognised the person for whom she has been waiting for the past few minutes. Her hand raised for a wave and Jungkook strolled to her with a light beam playing on his lips.
"Hi! Thank you for coming," the lady gave a warm smile.
Jungkook leered back, "No worries Areum-ssi. Hope you didn't have to wait for long?"
"Of course not. I arrived just a few minutes back," she hit back.
Jungkook exposed his canines and they both walked through the flagstones path to the inner part of the garden.
The weather also helped them to cherish their moments together. Autumn leaves crowded the branches of the canopies shadowing the path. Flowers let out their soothing brain-nourishing fragrances that dispersed in the air like the melody of nature. The sky had a shade of blue, yellow and orange as it led to the drowning sun.
One never knows how the time flies away while chatting with someone be it via any mechanical gadget or face to face. Time management during talking is a severe issue. It would never be in one's favour unless and until the person wants to opt for a time pass.
Likewise, the last ray of the sun dissolved below the horizon leaving a dark navy blue shade above the city upon which a few twirling stars have opened their magic shop. The magical sparkles that were showered upon the two humans made them talk forever as if there was no tomorrow. It was probably because they matched their themes of discussion too well.
"Oops, it's 7 already!" Areum pinched, her hand tucking some hair strands behind her ear as she looked back at Jungkook from her wrist.
Jungkook shrugged, "Looks like somebody is missing home a lot."
Areum giggled, "No actually my mom gets a little angry on finding me late. So I need to go."
"Fine, you should go," said Jungkook while averting to a side.
Areum pursed her lips, "Uh Jungkook, would you mind if I ask you to meet me pretty often from now on? I mean no problem if not, ah I was just asking you know." She twiddled her fingers, her orbs tracing the floor below her heels.
"Sure, I won't deny," Jungkook flashed his bunny gums Areum gaped at the guy before her eyes. She couldn't believe that he approved her request so quick, real quick. Her lips extended, its corners curved upwards, "So see you again, I'll let you know where to come. Bye!"
Jungkook slanted his skull as he watched the other personality stepping into a car. The backlights of the vehicle sported red and a second later, it tracked away.

"Jungkook, pass me the soup please," Mrs Jeon raised, her gums chewing young radish kimchi that she filled in a moment back.
No movement was noticeable in the fair Jungkook who had a tablespoon in between his index and thumb. His sockets were addressing nowhere in particular that only kept staring at the soup bowl in front.
Mrs Jeon replaced her curious gaze at her son's blank lineaments. Her curiosity overflowed the brim when she broke, "Jungkook! I'm talking to you!"
Jungkook flinched, "Ye-yeah eomma, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? What are you up to? I asked for the bowl two minutes back. Why do you look so lost huh?" she aired, her brows cocked together.
"Uh in sorry. Here you go," Jungkook handed over the dish to his mom and continued judging the vegetables on his plate.
"Jungkook are you sure that you aren't hiding something?" Mrs Jeon darted her eyes at the bunny faced like a predator.
Jungkook's sockets popped out in her direction as he had just filled in a spoonful of kimchi inside his mouth.
"Honey, why do you keep on suspecting your son for no reason? Stop it now," Mr Jeon protested that made Jungkook nod at the same time.
Mrs Jeon heaved a sigh and carried on with her chopsticks.

Jungkook rested his skeleton on the soft mattress. His brain was visibly recalling the time when he was talking to the lady, Areum. He loved every inch of it. This had a different state of elation, contrasting any other feeling. Yet he was still not confirmed if it was love or obsession. But obsession can also be a synonym of love to some extent, right? Because both of them are related to attractions.
But what kind of attractions? Well, that's not to be discussed now since it is still not clear. However, it must be something for good. Or maybe not. Profitable or maybe not. Imperishable or maybe yes. Overall it can be anything. One never knows!
On the other hand, Areum sat at her dresser. Her palms messaged some moisturizing cream on her blushed cheeks and neck. Out of the blue, Jungkook popped into her mind. She gazed at her reflection on the mirror as she thought,
He's so cute, kind and humble at one go. I have never felt this dragged towards anyone before. He's just different, different from anybody and everyone. Ever since our first meet, he has been filling me with warmth and good morals that nobody ever did, not even my parents who are mostly busy with their own businesses. But now I think I found someone with whom I feel so secured to share even the deepest of secrets. Nonetheless, I hope it's just because of normal friendliness and not love? I cannot be in love. I'm not in love. Am I?
