After a busy schedule with BTS, Jungkook often found himself drawn to Eun-ji's house like a moth to a flame. The moments they shared had become his sanctuary, a break from the overwhelming world of fame and expectations. He cherished their time together, finding joy in the simplicity of their friendship.
One afternoon, after an exhausting day of rehearsals, Jungkook decided to surprise Eun-ji. He made his way to her cozy home, the familiar path feeling more like a journey to a secret hideout than a mere walk. As he approached, he spotted her sitting on the porch, deep in concentration as she practiced her piano pieces.
With a mischievous grin, Jungkook tiptoed closer, intending to sneak up on her. Just as he was about to pounce, she glanced over her shoulder, her eyes widening in surprise.
“Jungkook! You scared me!” Eun-ji laughed, her hand flying to her chest.
He chuckled, pretending to be innocent. “Me? Scare you? I’m just here to help with your music, of course.”
“Right, because you’re such an expert,” she teased back, rolling her eyes, though a smile tugged at her lips.
“Exactly! I’ll be the best teacher you’ve ever had,” he replied, leaning against the porch railing, his arms crossed with an exaggerated air of confidence.
Eun-ji couldn’t help but laugh. Jungkook’s playful nature always brought a lightness to her heart. “Oh really? What’s your first lesson, then?”
He thought for a moment, tapping his chin dramatically. “How about I teach you the art of distraction? It’s all about keeping your focus on me instead of the piano.”
“Very clever,” she replied, trying to suppress a grin. “But I think I’m good without your lessons.”
“Are you sure?” Jungkook leaned closer, his voice dropping to a mock-serious tone. “I can be quite distracting.”
Just then, a light breeze rustled the leaves around them, adding to the atmosphere. Eun-ji rolled her eyes but couldn’t hide her smile. “You’re impossible.”
“Impossible to resist, you mean,” he shot back with a wink, causing her to laugh again.
As they continued their playful banter, Jungkook felt a warmth blossoming inside him. These moments—filled with teasing, laughter, and lightheartedness—were more than just a way to unwind; they were the moments that made him realize how much he cared for her.
Every visit was a reminder of the connection they shared, and while he enjoyed teasing Eun-ji, he also found himself falling deeper for her. With every playful jab and every shared laugh, Jungkook knew that what began as a simple friendship was evolving into something more profound—something that made him look forward to each return from the stage.
