"Now for that lounge so the teasing can commence." Jake said, still holding on to Kookie and the bouquet of roses.
They passed through the immigration counters for departures and went straight to the counter for VIPs. Jake handed over two passports, his and Kookie's. He removed his bucket hat and face mask for the fingerprint scanner and the camera.
"Jeon Jungkook?" Bella heard the immigration official ask.
Jake nodded and handed Kookie and the bouquet over to Bella while he went through the motions.
Opening up the other passport, the official was about to say something but instead opted to just trying scanning it.
"Sir, I'm going to have to scan your fingerprints." He told Jake.
"Maybe scan hers instead since they're going to the same destination?" Jake suggested.
He shrugged and said, "It won't matter really. The stuffed toy doesn't have any on record."
Jake laughed and asked Bella to approach the fingerprint scanner. She handed Kookie and the bouquet back to Jake. Bella scanned her fingerprints and Jake held Kookie in place for his picture. She took Jeon Kookie's passport and boarding pass back and handed the immigration official her own. She repeated the process.
Once they were waved through, Jake led Bella down a corridor and into a white room, decorated by opulent-looking purple couches. Bella counted five couches in total. There was also a group of round marble tables towards the far end of the room. The floor was carpeted and there were two TVs hung up. One of them showed the flight schedules and the other was a TV tuned in to HBO. There was a bar with a lone attendant standing watch. The lounge itself was empty of other passengers.
Jake lay Kookie and the bouquet of flowers on one of the couches, removing his backpack. It too, was black. He took Bella's backpack from her and lay it beside his. They sat together on another couch and the male attendant approached them.
"Mr. Park, good morning! It's good to see you again." He greeted.
"Hello, Luis. How are you?"
"Very well, sir. What will it be today?"
Jake turned to Bella. "What do you feel like having?"
"Maybe a Carbonara or a Bolognese? Which one do you have on the menu?" Bella inquired.
"We can make both for you, miss." Luis informed her.
"We'll have both, then. And a steak for me please Luis." Jake decided.
"I can't finish them both." Bella interjected.
"We can have the remaining food wrapped for you, miss. It's no problem at all." Luis smiled. "I'll be back shortly with your orders, Mr. Park. Excuse me."
Jake touched her arm. "Allow me to feed you, Princess."
"I'm sure you could but I don't want it to go to waste."
"Take the rest with you back home. At least you won't have to worry about dinner anymore." Jake suggested.
"Okay then. Thank you, Jake." Bella accepted.
"Princess, it's okay to have someone take care of you, you know." Jake cupped her cheek.
"Actions, my prince. Not words." Bella reminded.
Jake nodded. "So, V-hyung messaged me this morning. He said he was so excited to have you join us for Mobile Legends."
Bella laughed at that. "I swear that I'm scared to try it now. I might disappoint you guys."
