Everlasting Commitment: TaeKook

Chapter- 10

Jungkook pedaled home, As he parked his cycle in the garden of his house, he couldn't wait to see his beloved mother who was waiting for him inside.

As he entered through the front door, he was greeted by the familiar aroma of freshly baked cookies. His mother, Mrs. Jeon, was standing in the kitchen with a warm smile on her face.

"Mom!" he hollered, his voice cracking with the delicious strain of a long school day.

"My little Kookie's home!" she chirped, her eyes crinkling at the corners. And she continued, "How was your day?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with genuine affection.

Jungkook's face lit up as he replied, "It was good, Eomma. Long, but good."

Inside, the comforting scent of freshly baked cookies enveloped the air. Mrs. Jeon had prepared Jungkook's favorite treat, and his eyes widened in delight. Both mother and son duo were in the living room.

Then Mrs. Jeon went to the kitchen and moved towards her son with a plate of cookies in her hand. These cookies were his favorite treat, second only to his love for banana milk.

"Try these, Kookie. I made them just for you," she said, offering a plate of cookies.

Jungkook's nose twitched, sniffing the air like a bloodhound on the scent of a juicy steak. "Chocolate chip cookies?" he gasped, eyes widening to cartoonish proportions. "You know me too well, Mama!"

Jungkook wasted no time in taking a bite, his eyebrows furrowing in concentration. Mrs. Jeon watched him intently, waiting for his verdict.

"Mmm, they're perfect, Eomma!" he exclaimed, his mouth still full of the delicious treat.

Mrs. Jeon watched her son's facial expression which soothed her heart.

Satisfied with her son's approval, Mrs. Jeon chuckled. "I'm glad you like them. Now, go freshen up, and I'll prepare some snacks for you. I know my baby must be hungry."

Jungkook nodded enthusiastically, already imagining the delightful snacks his mother would prepare.

Jungkook returned the hug and kissed his eomma's cheeks before heading upstairs to his room. He kept his bag on the study table and suddenly, his fingers brushed against something cold and familiar in his bag. He rummaged around, pulling out a bottle of banana milk.

A smile spread across his face as he took out the bottle and sat on his bed.

As he stared at the bottle, he couldn't help but think about Taehyung's unexpected gesture. Jungkook smiled at the memory and took a sip from the bottle. The sweet and creamy drink instantly brought a sense of comfort and familiarity.

He hummed in satisfaction after emptying the bottle in one go. He kept the empty bottle on the bedside table and got up to freshen up. Jungkook was meticulous in his self-care routine, and he took his time applying lotion and moisturizer. After changing into a cute bunny PJ set, he applied strawberry chapstick on his tiny yet pouty lips.

Just then, Mrs. Jeon's voice drifted through the door, "Kookie, are you done? Snacks in five!"

Jungkook dashed out, a bouncing ball of bunny fluff fueled by sugar and anticipation.

She couldn't help but notice the sound of Jungkook's footsteps approaching.

He found his mother in the kitchen, setting out a spread of delicious-looking mini pizzas and veggie sticks. "Mama, you're the best!" he exclaimed, wrapping his arms around her in a bear hug.

Turning around, she couldn't help but smile at the sight of her son, looking cute as a bunny. "Hungry already, my bunny?" she teased.

Together, they made their way to the living room. Jungkook settled on the couch while Mrs. Jeon arranged the snacks on the table.
