The New Boy

Mother comes calling

Two days Jimin had been there recovering,he'd woken up each morning being spooned by Jungkook.
He'd been wearing Jungkooks clothes but today he put his own on and decided to put the laundry on as Jungkook had popped out to pick up some more food.
He'd supplied Jimin with a laptop as Jimin felt bored doing nothing so checked up on the work calendar to make sure things were going smoothly.
He sat in Jungkooks home office engrossed jumping at the sound of the doorbell.
He got up thinking it was Jungkook but found an elegant woman standing there.
"Oh who are you?" She asked
"I was going to ask you the same thing ma'am ?"
She laughed," oh I'm Jungkooks mother,I got told he was working from home?"
"Oh yes,er he is ....I'm Park Jimin,I er came over to help him but he had to pop out for some food or something he will be back shortly."
"Oh good...listen can you stop him working,I've invited someone over to have brunch,they would make the perfect couple,I've brought some bits over and he won't say no with me here."
Jimin felt a drop in his spirits,Jungkooks mother wanted to set him up with a girl?
"Erm,has he met her before then?"
"A couple of times they seemed to like each other they just need a push.....so this work thing does it have to be done now?"
"I er....let me close the laptop down and I'll leave you to it...."
Jimin went into the office turning off the laptop,he picked his phone up and text Jungkook.
"Your mothers here with good intentions,I'll be going thank you for letting me stay."
He turned his phone off walking from the office.
"Are you ok then ma'am I'll go now....good luck," he smiled weakly.
"Are you ok dear? Is that a bruise on your face?"
"Oh yes I erm walked into something but it's nearly gone now....er nice to meet you,"
He bowed grabbed his jacket and shoes and left.
He walked out onto the road and then carried on down the hill a bus pulled up at a stop and although a long ride to near his home he got on,sitting at the back.
Jungkook got out of his car a frown on his face,what had his mother come around for? He grabbed a couple of shopping bags from his car and went into the house.
"Mum why are you here...oh Lisa...er nice to see you again....mum?"
"Hello dear I hope you don't mind I invited Lisa around for a little brunch?"
"Well I...."
"It's ok your staff er Park Jimin let me in and he stopped working and left,such a sweet man,fancy him coming here to help you out...."
"Jimins left?"
"Didn't he message you,once I told him Lisa here was coming over he left quickly..."
Jungkook frowned what had his mother said to Jimin.
"Er Lisa you ok for a minute,mum come help me put this away....."
Inside the kitchen he turned hands on hips.
"Ok what are you trying to do ?"
"Can't a mother have brunch with her son?"
"And Lisa?"
"Well...you're not getting any younger it's not like you bring anyone home! What's a mother to do?"
"Mum.....I like someone..."
"Really? Who is she?"
"He mum he.....you know I've told you before my preferences vary....."
"But what about grandchildren!"
"Mum haven't you heard of surrogates or adoption?"
"But....well what shall we do about Lisa?!"
"Feed her and take her away...."
"So no chance for her?"
"Non whatsoever "
His mother vanished into the sitting room. He tried calling Jimin again but couldn't reach him.
The brunch passed fairly peacefully except Jungkook tried not to recoil when Lisa started fawning over him laying her hands on his arm and saying how pleased she was to be there.
His mother seeing the signs of his barely controlled anger looming spoke out.
"Well dear Lisa and I must go,you need to work right,come Lisa let's go shopping have you been to the new dress shop that's opened?"
Jungkook impatiently waited for them to go then tried Jimin again.
Why wouldn't he answer.?
Deciding he would drive over to Jimin's he left the dirty dishes and got in his car.
Jimin was sitting on his bed , he wondered how Jungkooks brunch was going. Why did he feel so upset about it?
He was about to turn his phone on again when a loud knocking came on his door startling him.
"Jimin? Are you in there?"
Jimin froze where he was, so Jungkook hadn't hung around with the girl?
"Jimin? Damn it where are you!"
He had been about to open the door but decided to sit quietly as if not there, he needed time to get himself ready for work tomorrow and face the staff that probably knew all that had occurred at the building.
Eventually he heard footsteps go down and breathed a sigh of relief,he really didn't want to explain himself...he had taken up enough of the others time.
He stayed in his home cooking a light meal for himself then preparing his clothes for work the next day.
He turned his phone on later that evening to see lots of missed calls from Jungkook.
Sighing he thought then text him.
"Hi,sorry my phone ran out of battery and I didn't think to go home and charge it.I spent the afternoon in the park the fresh air was lovely.(he lied)
I hope your brunch went ok,I told your mother we had been working in case she wondered why a stranger was in her son's house.
I hope you had a lovely brunch.
Thank you for your care the last few days I feel fit to go to work tomorrow so I'll have an early night,goodnight Jungkook."....send
His phone started ringing and he knew he couldn't ignore it.
"Hello?"
"Why did you leave?"
"Oh Jungkook,your mother and your friend wanted to have brunch with you it would have seemed peculiar if I'd stayed."
"Your bruises haven't healed completely...."
"No one can see my stomach and the ones on my face are pale I can cover them up."
"You're so stubborn!"
"No I'm just needing to get back to work as should you instead of playing nursemaid to me."
"Don't tell me what I should be doing...!"
"Why not? Aren't you doing the same to me?"
"You know you drive me nuts right?"
"You mean you're not used to people doing their own thing?"
"My beds really comfy you know?"
"It is.......but I also have a bed,not comfy like yours but where I should be,night Kookie...."
A sigh could be heard then,
"Goodnight I'll be watching you tomorrow ,don't work too hard."
"We'll see.....boss,"
"Jiminnnnnnn!"
Jimin laughed then clicked the phone off.
He went to his bed missing Jungkooks warmth.
"Back to the real world Jimin," he told himself setting his alarm and getting into bed where he tossed and turned then fell asleep.
