29 | late night scheming


         There's a moment when your body is leaving the sleeping stage of REM where you begin to get a little of your senses back. You're not fully awake but just awake to know there's someone in your arms. That's the state Jungkook was currently in as he felt the weight of Aerin in his arms.

A soft buzzing filled the night air as his phone screen lit up the small room where the two have spent their time together for the past two days. Shifting his arm out from under her head as careful as he could to not wake her up and turned to his bedside table to get his phone. It was a little past midnight and right there on his screen was a phone call from none other than Kim Namjoon.

It's been two days of ignoring them and it's clear their impatience is running thin if one of them was calling at this hour. Even barely awake, he knew he should just answer already, so with squinted eyes he made sure Aerin was still sleeping as he answered in a whisper, "Hello?"

"Nice to know you're alive," Namjoon said looking at the window of the black G-wagon he was currently being driven in, "I've been trying to get a hold of you."

Jungkook released a sigh, head sinking into the pillow as he sensed another favor of theirs coming, "It's been three days, I can't even have three days to myself?"

"Well sorry if I'm trying to help you out here," Namjoon said sarcastically, "Remember what we talked about the other day?"

At that Jungkook seemed to jolt awake cursing at himself as he looked back watching Aerin sink further into her blanket for comfort. With a lowered voice he asked, "So?"

"Well I found the guy who was supposed get rid of those records for you and I can get you and him together if you have any questions you wanna ask him personally. I don't care what you do to him because we had an agreement and he clearly didn't do his job so he has no use to me," Namjoon said, "But if not I can find someone else to handle that. What you really want to know is more about your future father-in-law?"

"As it turns out he enjoys a day of golf with the Chief Superintendent General of Police and I would tell you more but I'm not interested in talking over the phone about this," Namjoon said with a deep sigh, "Hence why I've been trying to get a hold of you. When can we meet up?"

"This evening," Jungkook whispered. Since it was past midnight technically today is Aerin's flight and that would mean an entire week without her. He has to figure out what happened about his records and what more her parents have planned. He doubts they believe Aerin is completely done with him and even if she was, something tells him they won't stop until he as a whole isn't a problem for them anymore.

Jungkook let the call go and as he set his phone back down on the counter, he nearly screamed. Aerin was sitting up now, hair a jumbled mess, eyes squinted still half asleep, "What happened?"
