"Appa-ni, I have a question," Moonbin said with his mouth piled up in cereals.
"Hmm?" Namjoon slit the omelette on his plate.
"When will I get this house?"
"When I will pass away, your eomma will have it. When your eomma passes away, then you will have it."
"So, when are you dying?" the vivid question astounded the others surrounding, including Jisoo who controlled her laughter with great effort.
Namjoon pressed on a bitter smile. "When I am fated to......You have any more to ask?"
"No, enough for this morning." Moonbin fixed his collar and made his trail to school.
"That was-" Jisoo erupted in giggles as Namjoon fired her a cold glare. "You think this is funny? I am seriously going to die soon for you two. You two always team against me and turn my life a misery." He finished his platter and kept the plate in the sink. "By the way, what you wanted to tell me last night?"
Jisoo sipped in her coffee, tying her hair in a loose bun. "Why did you delay?"
"I was at Seok samchon's celebration party and it ended late. I wanted to leave but they insisted so bad."
"Come home early with Yoongi oppa tonight."
"Why?" he frowned, scrubbing his plate.
"You'll know, then."
"Always the suspense." He pinched the curve of her waist, making her wince and hit his arm. He grinned and raced aloof, not allowing her to retort. Jisoo groaned and threw a sharp look on his way.
Her hand crawled to her abdomen and caressed the flat spot. The sides of her lips bent. You will know very soon.
During the lunch break,
Namjoon tapped his table in an erratic rhythm, disoriented by the probes Jisoo inserted in his brain. "What you think it can be?"
Yoongi had his head propped on his hand, wearied of guessing this topic. "I tried to lure Ji eun into revealing. She brushed me off."
"Did they find any proposal for something or any selection? I didn't hear something like that."
"Me neither." Yoongi groaned. "Wait, may we ask Lisa? She should know."
Namjoon dialled to Lisa immediately. Both men leaned closer, anticipating an answer through the constant ringing. For God's sake, pick up Lisa!
Lastly, Lisa's voice came within.
Lisa: Anneyong, oppa.
Namjoon: Annyeong, Lisa. I have a question to ask. But, first, promise me you won't tell Jisoo or Ji eun noona?
Lisa: Is something serious?
Namjoon: Promise me first.
Lisa: Okay, what's the matter?
Namjoon: Jisoo told me this morning that-
Yoongi: Did Ji eun and Jisoo tell you of some surprise planned for us?
Lisa: No. We talked a while ago and neither of them told me.
Namjoon whispered to Yoongi. "What should we do?"
Yoongi: Okay, Lisa. Bye!
They cut the call and sank back into the mesh of confusion. "You know what?" Yoongi flared his nostrils stiff. "Let's wait a bit. We'll know by the time."
