Life of Secrets ✔️

Chapter 16: BAD DECISION

The sky is painted in crimson red, with hues of pink and purple highlighting it. The streetlights are slowly lighting up, giving the surrounding a lovely and pleasant vibe.

It is the last day before their summer break starts. Jungkook decides to spend a sweet and romantic moment with his love, Sewon. They take a walk around their University, chattering and giggling, sharing some small and brief kisses in between. They sit on a bench, by the lake nearby their University, and watch the sunset. Sewon taps her feet onto the ground and lays her head on Jungkook's shoulder, mumbling, "I love you, my bunny"

Jungkook chuckles, "I love you too, my mochi." and kisses the top of her head.

After a while of spending time in each other's embrace, Jungkook bids her goodbye, "I guess I should go now, baby."

"Won't you stay a little longer...?" Sewon pouts.

Jungkook chuckles and touches her pout, "Sorry mochi... But we've an important group discussion today... Will see yaa on the weekend, hmm?"

Sewon nods and gets on her toes, wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him for a kiss as they both giggle into it.

Jungkook walks to the exit gate while smiling like a fool, remembering their little date. Jungkook has never dated a girl. All others were playdates but this one is for real. He likes her. Yes, he does.

When he reaches the gate, he notices Soojin standing there, looking at him blankly and giving him a hesitant smile. Jungkook feels twinge of happiness when he sees her. He waves at her, "Suju!!" and runs up to her.

"What are you doing here, Suju??" He asks her, huffing, trying to catch a breath.

Soojin gives a small smile and says, a hesitation lingering in her voice, "Nothing much... Just wanted to see you... And spend some time with you..."

Jungkook gives her a warm smile but feels guilty for not giving her much time. Did i get too engrossed with Mochi that i forgot my Suju? F*ck you Jungkook!

He pulls her close to him, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. They walk by, giggling and sharing about their day. Soojin feels momentarily jealous, hearing about the lovey- dovey moments of Jungkook and Sewon. She doesn't know why but it's hurting. Maybe it's not the fact that Jungkook is dating now. What hurts her is the lack of time she's getting to spend with him.

They walk to the bus stop, stopping at the CVS while Jungkook pays for their snacks. They reach the Nonhyeon-dong bus stop soon and start walking through the dark, narrow alley that leads to their dorm.

Jungkook, now with his hands in his pockets, glances at Soojin with a pout. She's not okay. She's hiding something from me. He knows her too well that just by observing odd behaviour, he sensed something is wrong. He decides to voice out his confusion, "You want to tell me something, don't you?"

"Huh?"

"C'mon...," Jungkook scoffs, "I can clearly tell it by looking at you!"

Soojin looks away for a moment, sucking in some breath. Should I tell him? Will he go with me? "Uhm... It's about...," she stutters.

"What is it? Tell me... You can trust me, you know that right?" He assures her in his most comforting voice, something that she has been missing lately. So much that she can't express.

Soojin sighs before speaking, "Dad... You know right dad and me, we've never gone on a trip before... Except for Daegu," she says, fidgeting with her fingers, "But this time... He has decided to take me to Jeju--"

"WOAHHHH!!!!" Jungkook exclaims, startling her, "Jeju?!! I mean... OMG!!! Damn Sujuu!!! You're so lucky gurl!! Go and have fun with uncle!!" He pats her back.
