After eating dinner, I let Jungkook freshen up while I cleaned the plates. Then I went up to the bedroom and wait for him to finish. I've been fiddling with my fingers nervously. I have to tell him now.

I looked up when I saw him coming out of the bathroom. I stood on my knees when he got near, took the towel he was using, and continued drying his hair.

"I have something to tell you..." I began. I almost regretted saying it but it has to be done. 

He sat down and pulled me on his lap. He took back the towel and put it down. "What is it?"

"I know it shouldn't be this early but..I...ahm...I have to go back to LA, Kook..."

I heard his sharp intake of breath. I bit my lips and bravely looked at him. The look on his face was a mixture of shock and fear.  

"W-when?" He finally asked. His hand snaked through my waist. I leaned on his bare chest and inhaled his scent.

"In two weeks..." I said in a tiny voice. I felt him stiffen and I closed my eyes while I wait for him to say something. 

"But your two months is not yet up, Iseul." He said after a while. I sighed and looked up.

"I know but the board is asking for me. Seojun mentioned some promotions we need to do and whatnot. I don't want to go but I have to, Kook. I'm sorry..." 

"Are you...are you coming back?" He asked not wanting to meet my eyes. It pained me to hear him ask that. 

"Why wouldn't I? Of course, Kook, I will come back. Or you don't want me to?" I moved from his lap and sat across him. He turned his body in my direction and held me close.

"I don't want you to go, Iseul." He said seriously. He looked down at our joined hands and played with my fingers. "But that's your job. You have responsibilities to the company."

"Yeah..." I sadly nodded. Then he raised his head and looked at me.

"When will you come back? What are your plans, babe?" He asked with somber eyes. I sighed and caressed his face.

"I am not sure how long I will be gone, honestly. I'm going to find out the details and tell you. But I will try to do whatever I need to do there as fast as I could. And I will discuss my resignation with Seojun..." I answered.  

I've been thinking a lot about this since I talked to the girls when we went to the spa. Then Raon reminded me, too.  

"You're going to leave your job there? Are you sure? That's your dream job, right?" He asked, worried.

"It was. I dreamed of making a game like Infanta. And I was able to do it with them. But I won't regret leaving LA and starting again here. There are many options for me. I will figure it out." I assured him then gave him a teasing smile. "And if not, you're going to take care of me, right?"
