The next day, after her classes at college, Han-na made her way to the smoothie shop where she worked part-time. As she arrived at the shop she scanned the bustling crowd, hopping to see Jungkook again. But as the hours passed there was no sign of him, Han-na was disappointed. "After everything that happened yesterday, how could he not come back".Just when she had begun to lose hope, a familiar figure walked through the door. It was Jungkook, he made his way to the counter, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Jungkook, you're back," Han-na exclaimed, unable to hide the surprise in her voice.

Jungkook returned her smile, his gaze lingering on her for a moment longer than necessary. "It's good to see you again,"

And then, as she passed him a freshly blended smoothie, she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. A bandaged arm, hidden beneath the fabric of his jacket, barely visible but unmistakably there.

she couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't quite right. "Is everything okay? I noticed your arm..." she trailed off, her voice tinged with concern.

Jungkook's smile faltered slightly, a flicker of discomfort crossing his features before he quickly masked it with a dismissive wave of his hand. "Oh, it's nothing. Just a minor injury," 

But Han-na wasn't convinced. She had seen enough injuries in her lifetime to know that there was more to the story than Jungkook was letting on. "Are you sure you're okay?" 

Jungkook hesitated for a moment, his gaze flickering to the floor before he met her eyes once more. "Yeah, I'll be fine. Thanks for asking, Han-na," Han-na nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over her at his reassurance

As Han-na wiped down the counter, her curiosity getting the better of her, she couldn't help but broach the subject with Jungkook.

"Hey, Jungkook, I couldn't help but wonder... why did you disappear last night?"

Jungkook paused in his task, his expression unreadable for a moment before he turned to face her, a carefully crafted smile on his lips. "Oh, that. I'm sorry for leaving so abruptly. I got a call from my sister. She wasn't feeling well, and I had to go check on her," he explained, his tone convincing.

Han-na furrowed her brow "Your sister? Is she okay?" she asked, concern lacing her words.

Jungkook nodded, a sense of relief washing over him as he realized that Han-na seemed to buy his explanation. "Yeah, she's doing much better now. Thanks for asking," he replied, his voice tinged with gratitude.

He couldn't shake the guilt that gnawed at him for lying to her about his abrupt departure the previous night. Determined to make things right, he gathered  up the courage to approach her before leaving.

"Han-na," he called softly, catching her attention as she finished tidying up the counter. "

Han-na turned to him, a curious expression on her face. "hmm?"

Jungkook took a deep breath. "I know I disappeared last night without much explanation, and I wanted to make it up to you. How about we go out on a date tomorrow? To the park, maybe? We could have a picnic or just walk around. What do you say?"

Han-na's cheeks flushed with surprise at the unexpected invitation, but a smile tugged at the corners of her lips. "A date?" 

Jungkook nodded. "Yeah, a date. I want to make things right and spend some time with you outside of work," 

Han-na's smile widened, a blush creeping up her neck. "I'd like that," 

Jungkook grinned, a sense of relief washing over him at her acceptance. "Great! I'll meet you at the park tomorrow evening then,"
