16 : The Sickness

Today was the day for them to return back to South Korea, to their respective homes. But the mood of the two couples doesn't seemed right. Usually if a couple returns from their honeymoon, they would act lovey dovey with each other. But in these two couple's case, everything was different.

Throughout the whole flight, Chaeyoung kept listening to some music in her phone, and completely ignored Jimin who was getting bored as hell. He would occasionally threw some glances at her, only to find her playing games in her mobile and the two earphones still plugged in her ears.

Meanwhile, Lisa was being completely ignored by Jungkook, for some reason even she doesn't know. She remembered the morning before their flight, when Jungkook shook her and tried to wake her up. She even remembered his question, accompanied with his deep and desperate voice, "Tell me, did you felt bored with me last night?"

But the problem is, she don't remember what was her answer. She was too sleepy and when she woke up, she didn't remember a single thing about her answer.

She was sure that he was definitely upset from her because of her answer. Because the night before the flight, both of them had a good date with the 'stay together forever kiss' , so there was no chance he would be upset with her for some silly things. She must have said something really wrong.

Lisa cursed herself in her mind as she glanced at Jungkook who was sleeping beside her, completely covering his face with his bucket hat.

She pondered for a while before reaching out to tug on the cuff of his black jacket. Jungkook shook a little before jerking her hand away, and again went to sleep, his face still hidden inside his hat.

Even after knowing she would have to work hard to persuade him, she still found it funny to see him acting like a spoilt child in front of her. This Jungkook was totally different from the one she met months ago. If these types of vacations and dates can help them to get close to each other, she wouldn't mind to plan some more surprise dates with him in future.

With a soft smile playing on her lips Lisa leaned towards him and kept looking at his hidden face until her vision blurred and she slept.

"You stay here, I'm going!" Jimin irritatedly shook his head seeing Chaeyoung taking pictures of Lisa and Jungkook, who were still asleep even when the flight was already landed.

"Are they unconscious or what? How can they be sleeping like this?" Jimin irritatedly sighed and grabbed Chaeyoung's hand, to take her out with him but Chaeyoung stopped him and controlled her smile.

"Just let me take one last pic and than I'll wake them up. Just look at them, how cute they are looking!" Chaeyoung grinned widely, looking at Lisa and Jungkook who were sleeping on each other, Lisa's head was placed on Jungkook's shoulder and Jungkook's head was leaning over Lisa's head. The hat that covered his face was lying on his lap.

Jimin too glanced at the younger couple before them and couldn't help but feel jealousy. This jealousy was totally different from the ones he had felt back than, seeing Lisa and Jungkook like this, he unknowingly but willingly imagined himself on Jungkook's place and Chaeyoung on Lisa's place.

"We would surely have looked cuter." The words unknowingly left his mouth when he was still imagining things in his mind. Chaeyoung turned to look at him in amazement. "Do you think so? We would look more cuter than them?" Chaeyoung pointed st him and herself, with a shy smile.

Jimin quickly realised what he said and looked away, clearing his throat. "I meant, they are not looking cute at all. I'm definitely more cuter than the two of them, and surely more cuter than you too!" Jimin pointed his finger at her and Chaeyoung frowned at him, before pretending to bit on his finger but Jimin quickly took it away and glared at her.

Chaeyoung giggled and finally reached out to wake them up, "Lisa-yah! Jungkook-ssi, get up! We are here!" After a series of attempts, Jungkook was the one who woke up first and quickly noticed his sleeping position.

He embarassed-ly adjusted himself, the pink tip of his ears didn't go unnoticed by Jimin and Chaeyoung who giggled lowly looking at him. Lisa too woke up, looking here and there like a confused child. "We arrived already?" Lisa looked up at Chaeyoung who was looking at them smilingly and nodded her head.

After arriving at their respective homes, Lisa quickly removed the upper layers of clothes from her body and turned the ac temperature at it's lowest before jumping on the bed, again feeling sleepy.

Jungkook who followed her inside, noticed her and frowned seeing her sleeping. "How much more do you want to sleep? You have been sleeping throughout the flight too!" Lisa lightly opened her eyes and again closed them, before softly mumbling, "I don't know, maybe I'm just feeling air-sick." Lisa shrugged and slept again.

Jungkook too didn't cared much about it and went to the bathroom. After changing his clothes, he came downstairs and greeted Hoseok whom he called as soon as they arrived in Seoul. "What happened about the deal with The Choi's? When are they coming for the meeting?" Jungkook was quickly back to his professional life as he discussed about some business with Hoseok in his study.

Meanwhile, when Chaeyoung and Jimin arrived at their home, they found a big cat sleeping on their dinning table. "Yah Min Yoongi! What do I pay you for? You're sleeping again when you're supposed to take care of my house?" Jimin gritted his teeths, looking at the yawning cat who rolled his eyes.

"How many times do I have to tell you to call me hyung? Don't you know how to respect your elders?" Yoongi looked at him indifferently, as if stating a fact. "Yah yah whatever Yoongi hyung! Now tell me, why are you sleeping here?" Yoongi looked around before looking back at him.

"The ac in my room was not working well so I came here for some fresh air that comes from that window!" Jimin followed the directions of Yoongi's finger and saw a big window opened right in front of the dinning table.

"Yah that's not what I mean-" Before Jimin could say anything, he noticed Chaeyoung dragging Yoongi in the kitchen, and the cat was frowning looking at Jimin, as if asking him for help.

"Oppa, quickly give me some food. I'm very hungry!" Chaeyoung dragged him inside the kitchen and Jimin passed a winning smirk at Yoongi who frowned irritatedly.

It was past 11 when Jungkook packed up his work and moved out from the study. He walked out and sat on the dinning table, a plate full of salad and a glass of milk was kept for his dinner. All of a sudden, a dialogue of his wife rang in his ears, "When we go back home, I'll cook you a lot of tasty dishes!"

Before his lips could curve up in a complete smile, he quickly hide it and glanced at Hoseok, "Did she had dinner?" Hoseok immediately understood whom he was talking about and shook his head.

"Some maids went to wake her up but when they came back, they said Mrs. Jeon didn't wanted to eat anything and just wanted to sleep. So, no one disturbed her after that." Hoseok explained and Jungkook glanced at his untouched plate before looking up at him.

"You should go home now and have your dinner. It's already so late." Hoseok was shocked to hear such pleasing words from Jungkook but eventually composed himself and nodded his head.

After Hoseok left, Jungkook picked up his plate of food and walked upstairs to his bedroom. Walking inside, he found Lisa still on the bed, lying in the same clothes. After noticing her appearance, he frowned and moved closer to the bed, only to realise that the temperature of the room was very low, it almost gave him shivers and Lisa hadn't covered herself with a comforter. How's she still sleeping in such a cold temperature?

Jungkook frowned and quickly grabbed the remote of ac before turning it off. He moved towards Lisa and reached out to turn her. Her pale face soon came in contact with his deep and somewhat worried eyes. He quickly reached out to touch her face, just as he expected, it was extremely cold.

Than he took her hands in his , they were also cold, without waiting for anything, he dialled a number and kept the phone between his head and shoulder, while his hands proceeding to desperately rub her hands to keep them warm.

He realised that she had fainted long ago.
