Cool Hot Sweet Love (BOOK 2 OF NLU) *HIATUS*

Chapter 7

"Eomma"

"Oh Jungkookie, come." Auntie said and have Jungkook sat beside me as she moved to the other chair. 

"What are you doing here?" Jungkook asked me in confusion. 

Auntie slapped her faster than the wind after he asked me.

"What a rude question?" She said which made me laugh.

"I got here first and it's just that auntie saw me that's why we shared the same table. I didn't know that she'll meet you here." I said to him and he nodded and kept on looking at the door as I was talking. 

"Are you waiting for someone?" I asked him and look at the door as well.

"I'm wi--" He was about to say something but someone called him.

"Opp--a" Yerim said as she entered the cafe.

Oh. 

What a small world? Out of all the cafes in the area, we really met. 

"Yerim-ah" I called her and she just looked at me and gave me a timid smile. 

She walked towards us and greeted Jungkook's mom and sat beside her. 

I was about to transfer sits but then Jungkook's mom signaled me to stay sitted which made me slightly confused. 

"I think I need to go now." I said and was about to stand up but this time Jungkook stopped me by holding my hand. 

"Stay, we're going to look for a gift. Maybe you could help us since mom would always say "Sooyoung chooses a better gift than you."" He said and chuckled. 

I smiled but my gaze went towards Yerim and she just dodges my gaze. 

"Yes, that's a good idea!" Auntie exclaimed in excitement. 

"Uh, I would love to but I'm just waiting for Seulgi eonnie." I said to them. 

"It will not take so long. I'll make sure you'll still make it." Auntie said to me and I looked at Jungkook and he just nodded but what caught me is the big sigh that Yerim just released. 

I look at my wristwatch and it's only 1:45 so even if eonnie will be finished at 3, I can still make it. 

"Hmm okay, but auntie I really need to be back at 3 pm, okay?" I said to her which made her face lit up. 

"No problem, my Sooyoungie~ We'll just go to the nearby mall anyways." She said which makes me feel relief since it is only a walking distance like 5 minutes walk. 

"Okay then, may I know what kind of gift you're looking for, auntie?" I said as I sip my coffee. 

"It's just for my amiga, her birthday is coming up and I am really having a hard time choosing." She said. 

"I see. Do you have anything in mind Yerim?" I asked Yerim since she's been so quiet. Maybe she has any idea on what to give.

"Uhh, none as of the moment, I'll just share my thoughts whenever I already have in mind." She said and timidly smiled at me. 

I just nodded in response. 

"So let's go? So we'll finish on time." Jungkook said which I agreed to.

I was about to stand up together with Yerim when she accidentally hit the half cup full of coffee with her bag and unfortunately spilled on my dress. 

I immediately stood up and grab the wet wipes from my bag. 

"I'm sorry, eonnie. I didn't mean to." She panicked said and was about to help me in wiping my dress. 

"Stop." Jungkook firmly said which made Yerim stop what she's about to do. 

Jungkook just hissed and get the wipes and tried to help me.

"It's okay, Yerim. It's not that big deal." I said to her as I and Jungkook wipe my dress. 

"I'm really sorry." She said. 

"It's really fine, no worries." I assured her. 

"Be careful next time, iha." Auntie said to her which made her look down. 

The damage is not that big so it got controlled immediately. 

"That will do, Kookie. Let's go to the mall." I said to him as I motioned him to stop from wiping my dress. 

He looked at me in surprise. 

"What?" I asked in confusion. I mean I didn't say anything. 

"Kookie... That's the first time you called me that after a while." He said and smiled at me. 

I just laugh it out. He's just probably teasing me. 

MALL

We are now in Dior trying to look for the giant scented candle that I suggested. 

I also texted Seulgi eonnie that I'm at the mall and she said things just got complicated a little bit but she'll finish it fast. And I just told her not to worry. 

"Sooyoungie, come here. What about this scent?" Auntie called me and asked me to smell the candle. 

"It is also good auntie but I think the first one smells more elegant than this one." I straightly said. She smiled at me and nodded. 

She immediately went to the cashier to pay for it. While waiting, I roam around the shop maybe I will find something I like.

"Soo, come here." I heard Jungkook called me. 

He's standing at the hair accessories section. 

My eyes suddenly sparkled. 

"You love hair accessories, right?" He said and I nodded but my gaze is locked on the accessories. 

I scanned and spotted a ribbon. 

"Which one is better?" I asked him and modeled it so that he can differentiate it more easily. 

"This one." He chose the black ribbon. Well, I like that more too, 

I happily get it and while still in search for some more, I felt something on my head. 

When I look at it, I saw Jungkook placed a headband on my head which is really pretty. 

"Does this suit me?" I asked him and looked at him.

"Everything suits you, Soo." He said and I just smiled. 

"Okay, I'll take this as well then." I said. 

I was about to go to the cashier when Jungkook suddenly snatched my chosen accessories and immediately paid it.
