Jungkook P.O.V.My scalp prickles at the realization.
Did she say something to him? Oh... to have been a fly on the wall during their dinner. I could have landed in her soup or on her wine glass and choked her.
"What is it, Kook, honey?" Mom asks, startled from her torpor.
"I'm just having a moment, Mom. What time is it?"
"About 6:30 p.m., darling."
Hmm... he won't have landed yet. Can I ask him?Should I ask him? Or perhaps she has nothing to do with it. I fervently hope so. What did I say in my sleep? Crap... some unguarded remark while dreaming about him, I bet? Whatever it is, or was, I hope the sea of change is coming from within him and not because of her. I am sweltering in this damned heat. I need another dip in the pool.
-As I get ready for bed, I switch on my computer. I have heard nothing from Taehyung.
Not even a word that he's arrived safely.
