"Fair warning, we kind of talk in a mix of Korean, Japanese and English. I asked them to try to keep it to Korean but it's just natural for us to bounce around."

Jungkook hums "I know, I hear you do it all the time when you're talking to yourself."

"And-"

Jungkook grabs my shoulders "It's all good Niko. Let's just go, I will take everything in stride and roll with it."

"I'm just nervous."

"Why are you more nervous than me? These are your parents."

"I don't know." I whine at him.

He chuckles and pecks my lips "Everything will be fine. Let's just go."

We grab our bags and head for the door. We're spending a week in Japan with my parents and while we are gone Jungkook's brother will have Bam. We're also leaving in the middle of the night to decrease the chance of Jungkook being spotted and people knowing he's in Japan.

The company was nice enough to actually have someone take us to the airport so that we don't have to worry about Jungkook's car. We head downstairs and the driver takes our bags and puts them in the back while we get in.

When we get to the airport even though it isn't busy, I stay back from Jungkook a little, letting someone get between us at the check in desk and we don't sit next to each other at the gate or even in the plane. We booked our seats so that I'm in the row infront of Jungkook.

The flight is short, only just over two hours. My parents offered to pick us up but I told them we would take a cab since it will be two in the morning when we land and almost three by the time we make it to their house.

Once we get off the flight and go through baggage claim, I hail a cab and Jungkook puts our bags in the back. Both Jungkook and I are masked, he's wearing a bucket hat and because it is December we're wearing jackets which covers Jungkook's tattoos.

For good measure we don't speak in the cab past me giving the driver my parents address. When we get there I pay the driver while Jungkook unloads our bags and waits by the front door of my parents house.

I unlock the door as the cab driver pulls off and once we get inside we both pull our masks off

I unlock the door as the cab driver pulls off and once we get inside we both pull our masks off. Jungkook looks around from the doorway as I find house slippers for him, that familiar child like sparkle in his eyes.

"It's so pretty."

I hum "My moms designer is amazing."

"What do your parents do again?"

I hand him a pair of guest slippers and he drops them on the floor quietly and puts them on.

"They own one of the most prestigious law firms in Japan. They also have a branch in Korea and in the U.S."
