Love Me Jeong {Jeon Jungkook Fanfiction}

~ 14:00; Mall ~

"Dad, I will be back after lunch, okay?" He nods as he controls the cash counter. I look around the place before leaving. "On a second thought, I will stay."

"No, dear, your mother is home alone. Also, don't come back. I suddenly got a call for a meeting, so stay home," He turns to me before shooing me away. I pout as I leave the place. "Bye, and I will be home for lunch after the place is clear."

"Okay," I turn to his staff, waving at them a bye as I leave. "Here I come, mom."

~ 14:30; Home ~

"Welcome home, dear," I sit on the barstool. "How was the day?"

"Amazing. It was so good," My mother chuckles before serving me food. "And dad said he will be back when the place is quiet," My mother nods as both of us eat together. "So, mom, any new designs?" I ask her.

Long story short — My mom is a designer. She designs various styles, and my dad operates a clothing store in a big and elegant mall. My mother gives her designs to grow the business more. "Anything for me?"

"Actually, yes," I smile widely. "Your wedding dress," I give her an annoyed look. "Just kidding. I made a dress for you. Just need to finish it up."

"You are the best," My mother chuckles at me. Free clothes of top quality are a blessing for me. "What else is going on here? I feel like a visitor," My mother chuckles softly before turning to me.

"Nothing special. What about you? Any boyfriend?" I roll my eyes playfully at her, making her nudge me. "Tell me."

"Well, I don't have a boyfriend. Even if I did then also, I wouldn't have told you," I look at her hurt expression that makes me pout as well. "Sorry, but someone can't hide things from her husband."

My mother scrunches her nose before pulling my cheek. "Really? I don't think I have told him who ruined his favorite suit," My eyes go wide with lips forming a natural pout. "Have I?"

"No, mom, please," She chuckles and softly hits the top of my forehead. "You are the best. Don't worry, when I will get one in the future, I will tell you, okay?"

~ 21:30; Home ~

"Mom, why hasn't dad returned yet? The meeting take this long?" My mother shrugs as she looks out of the window like always. It is really late, and he is still not back. "Should I call him?"

"I did. He rejected it. Maybe it is important," Sighing heavily, mom walks back into the kitchen. "I swear if this man is drinking, then Ray, be ready to say goodbye to your dad," Her aura suddenly changes to a dangerous woman. Without messing with her more, I sit on the chair at the dining table. "God, I am so worried. I hope he is all okay."

"Are you having mood swings?"

"I am just worried, Ray," I nod in her direction. "This man is seriously getting on my nerve."

This is normal for me as I have experienced my mother having mood swings when she gets worried or anxious.

"You love him so much," I try to cool down the environment. I don't want my dad to be kicked out of the house while I am here. "Don't you?"

"Of course, why not?" The excitement in her voice is still lively. "Or else I won't be here waiting for him."

"Why do you love dad so much?"

"Oh, dear, it is not something you need reasons for. Why do I love your dad? I don't know. I just find a best friend, my father's shadow, a secret keeper, late-night call, diary, and whatnot in him," I smile widely as I listen to her. All I can think about is Jungkook. He was my best friend, my father's shadow, my secret keeper, my late-night call, my diary, my everything... But he was... not anymore.
