Hi Dad! ✔️

Chapter - 9

As they watch the movie, a furry figure dashes past them, causing Vante to jump up in surprise. Jungkook turns to see Bam running around playfully. Jinah swiftly moves to catch him and cradles him in her arms.

Vante stands up, a hint of fear in his eyes. "Noona, please give him back to Yoongi," he pleads with his sister.

Jinah shakes her head adamantly, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "V, he's so cute! Let's take him home for today, na?"

Vante pushes Jinah gently, urging her to return Bam to his owner. "You know I don't like dogs. Please, give him back," he insists.

Jinah refuses, holding Bam protectively as she moves away from them. Vante calls out to her in frustration as she disappears from sight.

Jungkook observes the interaction with curious eyes, noting this new piece of information about Vante-he doesn't like dogs.

Jungkook gently holds Vante back, reassuring him that it's alright and that Yoongi won't let Jinah play with Bam for long anyway, as he's a bit possessive of the puppy. Vante sighs and settles back onto the mat, apologizing to Jungkook if he felt offended by Vante's behavior, explaining that he simply doesn't like dogs. Jungkook smiles and assures him that it's okay, understanding his feelings, and suggests they continue watching the movie.

As they delve back into the film, a scene featuring the characters drinking catches Jungkook's interest. He turns to Vante curiously and asks if he's ever tried Jeju's traditional alcohol. Vante shakes his head, admitting that he typically only drinks wine.

Jungkook grins mischievously. "Well, if you're my friend, then there's no way I'm letting you go without trying it,"

Vante laughs and agrees, "Alright, as you wish. But I need the authentic one, I heard it's difficult to get here, as it sells out fast."

Jungkook nods determinedly. "Leave that to me. I'll take care of it."

And true to his word, Jungkook spends the next few days scouring shops to find the original traditional alcohol, known as omegisul. Despite facing sold-out signs at first, he doesn't give up, even camping out in front of the shop overnight to ensure he secures a bottle for Vante.

As evening falls and the full moon rises in the sky, casting its ethereal glow over the landscape, Jungkook's thoughts turn to the ancient rituals of the wolves that once roamed these lands. In cities where humans dominate, the presence of wolves is scarce, but Jeju Island, steeped in the country's history, has retained more of its wolf inhabitants.

During the full moon, a primal urge stirs within the wolves, compelling them to shift and run freely through the forests and greenery. In cities, urban wolves may return to their old towns or seek out designated green spaces where they can roam. Over time, with the evolution of both wolves and society, the need to shift has become less frequent, occurring only once a month, and the wolves no longer live in packs as they once did.

For Jungkook and Yoongi, their own tradition involves escaping to an abandoned part of the island by boat, camping out for the remainder of the day. As Jungkook gazes up at the bright full moon, he can't help but wonder if Vante would enjoy being part of this unique experience, sharing in their little slice of wilderness and embracing the wild spirit that still lingers in the air.

With a bag slung over his shoulder, Jungkook moves stealthily through the garden, his footsteps muffled by the soft earth beneath his feet. He checks the text message on his phone one more time to ensure he's at the right place before cautiously making his way around the building. Peering through different windows, he scans the interior, searching for the person he's come to meet.
