I picked out a simple dress, pairing it with some strapped heels and a leather jacket over the top. I'd left my hair down as I checked myself in the mirror over and over again.
Why was I so nervous? Was I going on this date for Jungkook - because I still felt something for him? Was I going on this date for answers? For myself? Or because Yoongi had told me to? Just stop bloody thinking, Y/N! Stop thinking and stop looking at yourself in that flaming mirror!
The clock read 7:40pm as I headed downstairs. I couldn't have Jungkook coming into the house, not when my mother was as ill as she was. It wouldn't be good for either of them. My mother was sitting watching television as the nurse sat beside her, brushing my mother's hair. She seemed to be enjoying it as I walked over to her, hunching myself down so that I could meet her eye.
Her eyes immediately lit up as soon as she saw me, the same way they always did. I was her rock, the one thing in her life that she did remember and that was constant.
"Y/N-ah! You look so beautiful! Jungkook will love this dress." She played with the material, her eyes glistening. There was a sadness there but she clearly couldn't recall what it was that she was so sad about.
"Thank you Mama. Don't wait up for me tonight, I'll be home late." I kissed her temple sweetly.
"Not too late Y/N-ah! I don't want to have to send your father out looking for you." She laughed, but it was empty as though some small part of her knew that it was impossible - that never again would my Father come looking for me. No matter how much either of us longed for it.
"Yes Mama. I love you." I smiled at her as I grabbed for my bag. The nurse bid me farewell as I left the house, waiting at the base of the drive for Jungkook.
He was early. He pulled up alongside me, allowing me to open the passenger door and climb inside. I stopped for a moment as I nearly sat on the bouquet that was resting on the passenger seat. I look to him as he smiled at me.
White tulips. My favourite.
I lifted the bouquet gently, sitting down and securing myself in. Jungkook waited for me to be ready before he pulled the car out of the driveway.
