The Love Island

🏝️ Chapter 28 🏝️

💛💛💛

ㅤㅤGrunting, Jungkook slowly emerged from the shower and limped towards his bed. He sat down with a sigh of relief. A huge bandage was wrapped around his abdomen, restricting a lot of his movements. And most importantly, (For Jungkook, that is) working out.

ㅤㅤAishhh, getting hurt is so annoying. When I return back to Korea, I'll be a weak old man.

ㅤㅤWorking out was Jungkook's main goal when he that heard that he and Lisa would be returning in a week and a half.

ㅤㅤAnd now that deadline is going to be pushed back now because I'm hurt.

ㅤㅤJungkook groaned in annoyance. When will they ever get back home now??

ㅤㅤ"Jungkook!! Come and eat some lunch!", Margaret shouted from the kitchen.

ㅤㅤ"NE!! Coming!", Jungkook slowly got up and shuffled to the door.

ㅤㅤOnce he walked into the living room, he instinctively looked around for Lisa, who was sitting on the couch and watching something on the television. Puzzled, Jungkook looked at the clock, which read 3 o'clock.

ㅤㅤAhh, she must've eaten way earlier than me.

ㅤㅤJungkook shambled to the dining table to see that Margaret and Lucas had prepared, surprisingly, tteokbokki.

ㅤㅤ"Jungkook, I've prepared one of your favorite foods to eat because you're hurt today", Margaret reached up and pinched Jungkook's cheek, who was still looking at her in astonishment.

ㅤㅤ"Sit down and eat, you naughty boy!", Margaret supported his arms until he sat comfortably on the chair. Jungkook picked up his chopsticks and took a massive bite of the tteokbokki. After a few moments, Jungkook nodded his head in approval.

ㅤㅤ"It's... so... good... thank you", he mumbled between mouthfuls.

ㅤㅤ"No problem, in fact, I enjoy cooking korean foo- WAIT, Jungkook you didn't dry your hair yet??!"

ㅤㅤJungkook stopped chewing.

ㅤㅤOh no.

ㅤㅤ"Do you want to get hurt and sick at the same time?? How careless...", Margaret disappeared into one of bedrooms and came out with a dry towel. She immediately started scrubbing his hair like there was no tomorrow.

ㅤㅤ"Ah- Ah- Ow that h-hurts!",

ㅤㅤ"Okay okay, I'll do it slower, you keep eating", Margaret changed her speed, but it barely made any difference.

ㅤㅤShe's just like my own mom. I miss her so much...

ㅤㅤJungkook rarely got to see his mom after debuting, yet he was regularly able to make phone calls to Busan, where his parents lived.

ㅤㅤJungkook froze.

ㅤㅤBut now she probably thinks I'm dead.

ㅤㅤ"Jungkook, are you okay?"

ㅤㅤA tear formed in his eyes, but he blinked it away.

ㅤㅤ"I'm fine", but another tear found it's way around his eyelids and started trailing down his cheek. Margaret placed a hand on Jungkook's.

ㅤㅤ"You can tell me whatever's bothering you", she gently wiped away the tear.

Eomma tells me that all the time. Jungkook shivered, unable to control his emotions.
