if possible pls don't be silent readers! I still post on Wattpad simply because I love the way we can comment while reading! Any opinion you have on the characters or story, leave feedback! I read it all!

Jungkook makes it to Hoseok's two-story, maya colored townhouse that's literally right down the street from the beach in a matter of three minutes.

As soon as he pulls in to park his salty mood is dispersing, more memories he must have repressed at some odd point in his life resurfacing like they never drowned.

He gets out and pulls up his seat to let Taehyung and Miko out. Taehyung grins lazily, Miko taking in his cousin's house with fascinated eyes.

"Hey is your cousin single? I think I want to live here," she says and Jungkook snorts.

"Yes, he's not seeing anyone that I know of," he tells her as he locks Jimin's doors.

He leads them to the front door then, knocking only twice before he hears his aunt's shrill voice.

"Oh! Jungkookie!" He can hear her exclaiming from the open window at the front door.

She pulls the door back with a wide grin that mirrors Hoseok's, cutely jumping up and down. "Oh my nephew, my handsome nephew!"

Jungkook laughs, letting her drag him down into a hug. She squeezes him back and forth tightly before releasing and steadying the rectangular frames on her face.

"And who might this be? Hoseok said something about you and a girl!"

Jungkook flushes, stepping to the side and gently urging Suji from where she hides behind him.

"Yes auntie, this is Suji," Jungkook says somewhat shyly as he watches his aunt's eyes widen comically as she takes her in.

"Oh my! So pretty!" She slaps Jungkook's shoulder before taking Suji by her face. "Yah! Don't lose such a girl!"

Jungkook rubs his shoulder with a wince and nod, Taehyung and Miko trying to hold back their indiscrete laughs.

"And this is Taehyung and Miko," Jungkook further introduces.

His aunt lets go of Suji to acknowledge Miko and Taehyung. "Ah a lovely pair," she says to them and they grin bashfully. "Are you two dating?"

Miko sputters, Taehyung choking on air as they openly grimace at one another. "No! Never!"

His aunt stares with narrowed eyes for a moment before beaming. "Great!" She snatches Miko by her hand and drags her inside. "So you're single? Have you met my son?"

Miko looks back at them with an overzealous grin, Jungkook shaking his head with a laugh as he follows behind.

They remove their shoes before his aunt situates them in the open dining room with hearty plates of barbecue, vegetables, rice, and cool drinks. Taehyung, who's infected by the munchies, moans in elation, his mouth too small for all the food he's stuffing it with as he sinks back in his chair.

Jungkook is starving too, Suji offering to make him a plate while his aunt bombards Miko with questions about what she likes in a man. Miko is straightforward: handsome and funny to which his aunt claps excitedly, declaring her only son as such.

She turns to him next, nudging Taehyung into the seat over before sitting beside him and asking him questions about her sister and her health. He asks after he tires of talking about his mother's menopause, "Don't you two talk on the phone like every day?"
