Temporary Love || J.JK [UNDER EDIT]

03 : gift

Clementine's POV:
After being confronted by Lila, I felt embarrassed and ashamed. I can't do this, I need to get out of here ASAP. I looked around for an easy escape until...

💥C R A S H💥

Ah shit! I quickly stood up and helped Meredith out. "My apologizes Meredith! I wasn't looking at where I was going." I kneeled down to help Meredith pick up the sliver trays.

"Don't be sorry Miss Chen, I didn't see you standing there." Meredith softly said. "Also, Jungkook would like to meet you on the balcony."

"Ah okay~ thank you Meredith." I thanked as Meredith curtsied and walked away with the trays. I guess it's time to meet him.

[Balcony]
When I arrived at the balcony, the view was absolutely stunning. The sun was setting, candles were lit around the rims of the barrier. The cold breeze started to blow itself onto my skin, making me shiver. I was about to go inside until I saw a person standing on the other side. I slowly made my way to the person but, another person came out and back hugged them. It was Lila. I stepped back and left the balcony. Just like that, still haven't met Jungkook.

I went off trying to find my parents but then, I bumped into someone else again. Every single time I swear! "Ah darn it! I'm really sorry!" I apologized to the man.

"It's okay, it was my fault." He laughed. "I'm Zuxiao Dao, a family friend of The Jeons. You're Clementine Chen."

"How did you know?"

"Well, Mr Jeon mentioned a new person and, I know everyone in the house, except for you." Zuxiao said. "Have you met Jungkook yet?" Why must he ask this! I looked around the corner to see if Lila disappeared but, nope. She's still there. Zuxiao looked over my shoulder. "Why is she here?!" He exclaimed. "On behalf of The Jeon family, I'm so sorry. She wasn't supposed to be here but, I guess Jungkook hasn't made that clear enough for her to understand."

"It's okay. At least I can kill some time on the couch, by myself." I head over to the couch and began to slouch. "Today has been so hectic and- most of it was just my clumsy ass bumping into people the whole time!" I complained. Zuxiao came and sat on the arm of the couch. "I bumped into Meredith, you and this dude name Jong at the jewelry store."

"Jewelry store?" He grinned as I nodded. "Which one?" He asked. I sat up straight and turned to him.

"I don't remember which one but what I do remember is that it was nearby the pet cafe down there." I said. Zuxiao thought hard about this and his eyes lit up.

"Jungkook went there earlier today." Zuxiao grinned. "Are you sure his name was Jong?" I nodded.

"Yeah, he told me himself that his name is Jong." Zuxiao looked very confused. Was it really Jungkook that whole time? Did he really give me a fake name?! But, there has to be a possibility that he might be a twin too! "Perhaps. Does he have a twin like I do?"

"Pfft no." He laughed. "He only has a brother but, he's living overseas." I giggled and looked away from him. Damn! Well there goes my hopes.

After having a conversation with Zuxiao, Meredith speedily came by and went to the balcony where Lila and Jungkook were. I watched them nod to Meredith and followed behind her. She then came over to Zuxiao and I. "Miss Chen, Mr Dao, it's time for dinner." Meredith said. I looked at Zuxiao and smiled. He smiled back.
