Hi Dad! ✔️

Chapter - 10

Note :
This chapter is a extended plot of mine, skipping between the scenes from movie. I like to mention these things because it makes things clear when actual movie scenes are and when where my own scenes are.

*********

The full moon is just a day away, and Vante is starting to feel the pressure. He hasn't yet talked to his Uncle about joining Jungkook for their full moon tradition, and uncertainty clouds his mind about how to approach the conversation.

On top of that, Vante also needs to tell Jinah about the invitation. He knows she has bonded with the other two guys, so there shouldn't be any problem, but he's still nervous about how she'll react.

Feeling overwhelmed, Vante takes a deep breath and walks down the hallway to Jinah's room. He knocks on her door, when she opens the door, Bam is paddling next to her leg. Vante momentarily forgets why he's there as he picks up the adorable pup in his arms and moves straight to the bed.

Jinah looks at him confusedly and asks, "Since when did you get so cosy with the pup?"

Vante just shrugs and starts with a lighter topic, "Jungkook pinged me that he wants to take us to some cafe, said there is a specialty we should try once."

Jinah nods and sits down next to him, "Okay, Uncle will be going to some meeting in the afternoon. We can go then."

At the mention of his Uncle, Vante remembers why he had come to her in the first place. He takes a deep breath and asks, "Noona, you know how tomorrow is full moon, right?"

Jinah nods sadly, "Yes, our first full moon that is not in our hometown, nor with any of our parents there with us."

Vante looks down and tries not to think of negative things. He doesn't want to dwell on them right now.

"Well, yesterday Jungkook asked if we wanted to join them in their little tradition."

Jinah's eyes reflect curiosity as she questions, "You said yes?"

Vante responds with a silent nod, feeling Jinah's hand on his shoulder, prompting him to look at her. Her touch brings comfort as she speaks softly, "V, I understood how upset you were with Mom and Dad's fight. That's why when I saw you excited about finding this new friend here, I didn't stop you."

Vante recalls the turmoil he felt upon arriving in the town, but Jungkook's presence has helped him find solace, diverting his attention from his parents issues. Jinah's caring gesture as she runs her hand through his hair reminds him of the support she has always provided.

She continues, "Over the past few days, I've seen how happy and relaxed you've been. That's why I've helped you with all the hiding and secret meetings. But don't you think you're getting too attached?"

Seeking comfort, Vante nestles his head in Jinah's lap, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Noona, whenever I'm with him, I forget about everything happening back at home," he confesses, expressing the sense of escapism Jungkook's friendship provides.

Jinah sighs, understanding his sentiment, and gently asks, "Do you really want to go with them?"

Vante nods earnestly, snuggling closer into Jinah's lap, finding reassurance in her smile. "Okay, then I'll help you this time, too," she agrees, reaffirming her support for his decision.

As Vante gathers the courage to discuss the full moon tradition with Jinah, he recalls Jungkook's words from the previous day. Jungkook had emphasized the importance of obtaining Vante's uncle's permission before joining them for the full moon ceremony. While they had met in secret for other activities, going somewhere overnight for such a sacred tradition carried a different weight. Jungkook wanted to ensure they approached it responsibly and with proper authorization.
