"WHERE ARE YOU, OPPA!?", Chun-ja yelled in frustration as she paced back and forth in her room while holding her phone against her ear.

She was trying to call him for the last fifteen minutes but he wasn't picking up.

"The number you're calling is-"

Chun-ja groaned as she harshly pressed the red button at the bottom of the screen, cancelling the call. She threw her phone on the table before she plopped down on the couch. Brushing back her hair, she groaned,

" Two hours, Oppa. It had been two hours since I came home from school and for the first time in so many years, you didn't come to fetch me from the bus stop but it's okay. I understand that you might be busy but is your date that important that you can't even pick up my call-"

Her ranting was cut off by a notification sound from her phone. She almost pounced on the phone as she hurriedly grabbed it. Tapping the screen a few times, the message finally came into her view.

Sigh. A deep sigh escaped her lips when she realized that the message was from Jungkook. She hurriedly opened his contact as she read the message,

"I'll be late today."

That's it? Was that it? This was what he wanted to say? She had been calling him like a lunatic and he didn't even care to write at least two sentences for her. Wow.

She let out a deep sigh before keeping her phone aside.

"It's okay, Chun-ja. Even he has a life. You can't control him. He is not bound to be around you twenty-four by seven. "

She took a moment to digest her own words.

"I'll just do my homework otherwise my mind would keep overthinking...." She sighed before she took her school bag and made her way towards the family room.

7:30 p.m.

"Seriously?" Chun-ja sighed as she realised that she needed some thermocol for a project and she didn't even have a sheet at home.

"Wow. The project is due overmorrow. Even Oppa is not here. Guess what? I have to go alone and buy it myself." She sighed before grabbing her jacket and the keys to the house.

She closed all other doors and windows before locking the main door. After checking if everything was locked for the last time, she kept the keys in her pocket and made her way towards the stationary shop.

After a long walk, she finally reached the shop. She heaved out a sigh after stepping into the shop before smiling at the worker.
