Phone Call

Epilogue

Kookie and I stayed in a hotel the night we got back. The night before his birthday. We had two separate rooms but we spent most of the night in my room. We caught up and I finally understood why Yoongi and Mindy seemed so familiar.

"So Mindy is the reason I got that recording of Yoongi then?"

"Yeah. I took it and showed it to him. I thought that it wouldn't be all that helpful though."

"It kinda wasn't. I was just worried about you both. Yoongi got his point across though."

I fell into silence and Jungkook looked on me with soft eyes. He ran his fingers through my curled bangs and the base of his palm forced my head to tilt back and look at him.

"You didn't do anything wrong."

"I ran away when I said I wouldn't."

"That doesn't matter because I came and got you back." He said with a smile.

I still felt guilty but I tried to press on instead of shutting down.

"Why did you come and get me?"

"I already told you. Because of my birthday." Jungkook stated cheekily. "We're going to go to Busan tomorrow and spend the day with Mom and Dad and then we'll go to Gangdam at night and find me a present." The wide smile that was spread across Jungkook's face was genuine but it didn't reach his eyes. It was his birthday though. He was allowed to spoil himself.

"Yeah okay."

"You okay Nana?"

I looked up from the birthday cake and smiled at Ma. "Of course Ma. Why?"

Jungkook's mother frowned. She clearly didn't believe me but she decided to let me have my moment.

"You're coming back tomorrow right?" Ma had started to put the cake up and pick up the dishes around the table. I quickly got up and began go help. Jungkook and Papa were in the living room watching T.V. and talking. Well "talking" being them shoving their faces with cake mostly.

"Yes?" I confirmed slightly confused.

"It's your birthday tomorrow. Did you forget?"

"Oh. Right. I just kinda forgot. I was so busy with Jungkook." I laughed feeling a tightness in my throat.

Ma shook her head while she focused on filling up the sink with soapy water.

"Either way make sure to come by. I'll make la bokki for you."

I wrapped my arms around the older women and kissed her forehead. "Of course Ma. I'll force Jungkook to drive me."

Jungkook came in with two plates. "Force me to do what?"

》》♡《《

"Do you mind if we stop by the company really quick? I have your present there." Jungkook asked as he took a right turn.

I crinkled my nose at the thought of stepping into the building. It didn't feel like somewhere welcoming.

"Nana." He said trying to grab my attention.

"Yes?"

"Trust me okay." He said softly. It was comforting to me. I would never tell him that though.

"When you say that it makes me not want to trust you." I muttered.

"Oh shush." He muttered back.

"Shush? Are you a sixty year old woman?"

Jungkook sighed. "You're deflecting."

"I am not."
