"What I'm trying to say is, I can keep a secret, for as long as I like. I can take secrets to my grave." her tone lowers, their eye contact doesn't ease, "But I need you to promise me you'll do that too. Because if you do, we'll be okay. We'll be sa...

Seven.
Seven days ago Vivi decided they're leaving. Leaving the house and the non-privacy behind, at least for a while.
Seven days ago she informed Jungkook about it, gave him seven days to prepare. Not that he needed to but she just wanted him to know advance.
Seven nights he spent in her room. Entered it at eleven - when he was sure Sunmi was out cold - and left a little after midnight.
Seven almost identical nights later, the day of their departure has arrived.
Although Jungkook still has no idea where they're going.
"Vivi."
A knock on her bedroom door hurries her, reminds her she told him they'd leave at ten in the morning, tells her she's an hour behind of their schedule.
"Yeah." she puffs while carrying her suitcase towards the door.
It opens, reveals Jungkook behind it who soon sees what she's struggling with before rushing to help her.
"I don't need help." she tells him even though she lets him take the suitcase from her anyways.
"I know, I just needed a reason to come up here." he whispers as he carries her suitcase with one hand to her bedroom door, Vivi following him.
Jungkook stops before leaving the privacy of her bedroom, knows the camera in here is off because he turned it off a week ago. For a good - yet not allowed - reason.
"Hey." he hums, faces her with a smile while he pulls her to him, his hand softly around her wrist.
Vivi playfully rolls her eyes, only tries to mask the fact that she's blushing at his sweet actions. Which - as a matter of fact - have increased a lot these days.
Jungkook runs his hands through her soft hair, gathers them up in a ponytail behind her head before leaning down to peck her lips, "Please, tell me where we're going before I lose my mind."
It's not a lie. He feels like he's actually going insane if she doesn't tell him now.
Soft puffs of air push through her nose, a small smile playing on her lips as she looks up at him in awe, "I'll tell you when we're in the car."
Jungkook wants to groan, sulk at her for teasing him like this. But the more he prolongs this, the more he has to suffer.
Without muttering another word, he leaves her proximity and goes to grab her suitcase that he soon leaves with. Vivi follows him, turns off the lights from each room they pass, eventually reaches the staircase that Jungkook's already hurrying down with her belongings. Sunmi's in the main hall waiting, always says her goodbyes when Vivi is leaving.
"So when are you coming back?" Sunmi asks as the couple reach the same floor as her.
"Seven days. The day before that fashion show I'm attending." Vivi lets her know, smiles as Jungkook's already out the door now with both of their luggages, "We're late." she explains to Sunmi who notices his hasty being as well, judging by the way she followed him with her gaze.
