"Ji"
"Yeah?"
"Would you do me a favour?"
"What?"
"Come down to the village with me, there's this woman that needs some help with a couple of things"
"I mean I have nothing else to do, okay"
"I do feel really bad for her, she's probably in her seventies and she lives alone"
"What? No one takes care of her?"
"No, she does everything herself, I think she's fallen ill because of it"
"Wow..her kids must be real busy huh?"
"She must have grandkids by this age, and no one reaches out to her, wow"
"Some people..geez"
-
"Hey Miss Hwanae? I brought my sister Jieun, she'll be a huge help"
"Hi"
"Oh, come here"
Jieun glanced at Gguk, a little worried, but he shrugged so she went and sat next to her. She had a big house for someone who lived alone, she was a lovely lady, old age was good on her, it's a shame she had no company.
"The last time I saw you, you were a baby"
"Oh, you've seen me before?"
"Of course, I was close with your parents, very close"
"How did you know them?"
"Your father worked for my husband, and I knew your mother's mother, I was the one who introduced your parents to each other"
"Wow, how come we were never introduced to you?"
"Ever since your father moved up to the mountain everyone he knew here became idle conversation and a nod, he was a busy man now, with two kids"
"Speaking of, where are your kids? Or grandkids? Do they not visit?"
"Oh I don't have any children, my husband passed away about fourty years ago so I never got the chance"
"Oh..oh I'm so sorry for asking.."
"It's fine, I always babysat everyone elses children anyway, hence the big house, I always wanted quite a few children"
"The house is really nice though, you've maintained it really well too"
"Ah, you really are a spitting image of your parents, just like your mother and looking just like your father"
"Yeah"
"Jungkook"
"Yes?"
"You go to work today, and instead of constantly going up, you two stay here, and I'll take care of you"
"Are you sure-?"
"Wait, Miss Hwanae you don't need to do this"
"No no, you two must feel awful being alone up in the mountains with no one to take care of yous, stay here tonight, I mean it"
"That's..awfully kind of you, thank you"
"Koo?"
"Listen, I'm just gonna go work and come back, and we'll stay here for the nights I work"
"But home?"
"We'll go, I go home twice a week"
"Gguk.."
