Jungkook is a ruthless and wealthy businessman who's only concern is getting the deal done and making money. He takes a flight 1225 from South Korea to LA for a Christmas day meeting. A meeting that will take his company to the next level if it is...
I nervously rake fingers through my hair as I sit quietly. I rise and start to return to Kookie and my phone rings. I smile seeing who it is.
"Hi Tae! Merry Christmas!
"Merry Christmas to you too Yeona! How are you?"
"I'm doing well! I've had a great holiday unbelievably. My daughter is happy, and I've been enjoying my personal pamper time. I also met a very nice doctor at the hospital, and he invited me over for Christmas. Wasn't that sweet?" Her voice is near giddy, and I am happy for her. Yeona works very hard and is a great mother. She deserves to be happy.

"That's great Yeona. So, is this serious?"
'Serious! I just met him two days ago. However, I think I'd like it to be serious. He's very nice and very handsome. So, tell me how you are doing. Has Jungkook returned to his evil ways? She laughs and I go silent. After my call with my father, I don't want to be reminded about who my Kookie was.
"Tae did I say something wrong? Are you okay?"
"Oh Yeona! So much has happened." I tell her the entire story with me and Kookie. I even tell her about Needy Tae and Jealous Tae.
"I have no idea why these versions of me are showing up. I've never been a needy or jealous person."
She then burst into laughter.
"Why are you laughing at my pain Yeona?" I pout crossing my arms across my chest.
"Tae, I have a diagnosis for your problem. Do you want to hear it?" Her voice is playful, and I am intrigued.
"What? Tell me!" I realize how eager I am to talk with someone I trust about me and Kookie. It is a relief, and she is my good friend.
"My friend, you are in love."
"What!?"
"Yes, I recognize it. Needy Tae and Jealous Tae came about because you care for him very much. We all have needy and jealous parts to us. Yours were triggered because you love Jeon Jungkook and from what you said I think he may be in love with you too. Aww, that's so adorable and I'm so happy for you Tae. Look, you are starring in your own Very Jolly Christmas movie." She laughs again as my head starts spinning.
"What? Love?" The more I think about what she is saying the more sense it makes. I never felt jealous or hurt because I had never been in love with the other men I dated. When it was over it was over. At the most I felt disappointment. I threw myself into my work and quickly moved on.
"Tae, I need to get back to my friend. As you know we will probably be flying to LA in a few more days. This will give you some time alone to clarify your relationship with Jungkook. I will see you soon my friend."
"Bye Yeona. I will see you soon." Her call came at the exact time I needed it.
I walk out to the dining area and Kookie is in deep conversation with his father. What a wonderful, unexpected Christmas gift he has received. It's a Christmas miracle. I stand in the entry way and watch him. My father's voice is in my head, but I know he is a good man. I am not wrong about him and I'm in love with Jeon Jungkook. Fuck, the stakes just really got higher as did that cliff.
