"Rise and shine Jeongguk-ah! Get up now! We have visitors!"

"Visitor? This early in the morning?"
Jeongguk asked drowsily, eyes still begging for sleep,

Then he suddenly sat up "Is it Jin-hyung? Is he out there?!"

Mrs. Jeon paused to look at him, and--

"Omg! Really? Do I look good? Is there a drool? How do I look? Eomma!! Tell me! Come o--" a flick on his forehead made him yelp, "Eomma!!!"

"It's not Seokjin! That hyung of yours is too busy! It's the Jungs! They're all waiting for you on the living room! So get up now!"

"Jungs? Why are they here again? I'm still sleepy!" Jeongguk complained, falling back on his bed, as fast as he gets up.

But Mrs. Jeon doesn't buy it,

"I just saw your eyes went so unnaturally big, darling... Get up now, don't make them wait." She says before walking towards the door, "and also, I think I saw Seokjin texted you..." She then smiled teasingly and Jeongguk immediately sat up again, rummaging for his phone.

Jeongguk heared his Mom's giggles, but he ignored it for the favor of unlocking his phone and looking up at his messages.

There really is a 3 text from Seokjin,

So Jeongguk immediately went giddy,

He's been texting with his Jin-hyung before he fell asleep last night, and he fell asleep without being able to inform Seokjin,

From: Seokjin-hyung ❤

Goodnight ❤

Good morning!

I woke up early today, Dad have a meeting with the investors, and I'm tagging along, eat your meals and take care. ❤

Now Jeongguk wants to cry first thing in the morning, Seokjin is too sweet,

Why is Seokjin too sweet?

But he made sure to send message before crying,

Good Morning hyung,
I just woke up, eat your meals too! Fighting! ❤❤❤

Jeongguk didn't get an immediate reply but the morning message alone is enough to fuel him and start his day.

So even when it's Saturday and easier to just sleep in, he went down, and it's true the Jungs siblings are really there except for Hoseok,

It's just Hoseok's sister and brother.

"Good morning." He greets when he reached the living room.

"Good morning Jeongguk-ah," they greeted.

"Chiefess Jeon is going to teach me about cooking today," Myeon informed when Jeongguk sat on the sofa with them,

"Eomma would love that..." He says before getting the remote to turn on the T.V.

"Right, I'll leave now to help Chiefess Jeon, then." She suddenly announced before standing and going straight to the kitchen, leaving Jeongguk and Ji hyuk on the living room to watch the silly cartoon that Jeongguk loves to watch.

"Anyways Jeongguk-ah, d-do you want to do something?" Ji hyuk inquire, while the commercials starts playing, "It's weekend, a-and I have free time... Myeonie had just pulled me here to accompany her and..."

He's almost babbling, hands fiddling on the armrest of the sofa and loss for words but he's still trying to thread words, as he looks at everything that's not Jeongguk.
