MATE {Jungri}

10.

"have a great holiday, mrs lee." said jimin to taehyung's and yeri's mom. the woman smiles as she nods and leave them after. She gives those four a moment to bid a goodbye.

"where is jungkook? he's not coming?" taehyung asked.

"thought he said he'll come. I bet he's just late." tzuyu replied, looking at her watch and then to jimin, who glances over the cheerless yeri.

yeri puffed her cheeks, playing with her fingers and didn't utter a word. her mind filled with jungkook, his reason and being parted from him.

"that man, i called him few times already but no answer." yeri said, her eyes shaking slightly, hoping jungkook would come before her flight takes off.

"he's overslept probably." jimin guesses, trying to calm yeri down.

"yep, there is no way he's not going to see you guys." tzuyu added, agrees with jimin.

taehyung looks at yeri on his side, pulling her hand. "yem, let's go. the gate probably closes in any minutes. we don't want to missed the flight." says taehyung. yeri look up at him with a pout and sad eyes.

"hey, it isn't like we're not going to meet jungkook anymore. It will be just two months, yem." taehyung persuades her. he caress her back gently.

yeri nods before turns around to jimin and hugs that man. "thanks, chim." she said. "tell jungkook that i hate him!" she says this as she scrunches her face, pretends to be mad. ofc jimin understand her intention.  he nods with a smile.

"i'll torture your boyfriend." he said throwing a joke at her back. yeri slaps his shoulder in response. she pulled off the hug before coming for tzuyu.

"hey, have fun in australia." she said, hugs yeri tightly. "and you can imagine like you're hugging jungkook. I'm almost the same height with him." she chuckles.

yeri whines.

"i bet he really wants to come, you know how he feels for you." yeri scrunched her nose. "but, you also know he is an idiot at times, though he doesn't look like one." she whispers.

"i wished to see him. but, never mind." she pulled off the hug.

taehyung hugged those two before leaving.

yeri grabs taehyung's hand before waving to the two, getting into the glass door. eaten by the walls now that jimin and tzuyu no longer can see their figures.

.

Jungkook panted in front of the international departure area. when he saw both jimin and tzuyu standing still infront of the, he runs there.

It was just like five minutes after yeri and taehyung left for the gate.

he grabs jimin's arm, making the man startled. tzuyu turned to the terrified jimin who is squirking.

"jungkook!" tzuyu snapped in a yelling tone but not so loud to avoid attention from everyone who were in the airport.

he was dead tired from all the running.

"damn, where have you been?!" she questioned.

"yeri called you and no one answers." jimin added on the other side.

"did t-they le-leave?" still panting. the two nod. jungkook fall on his feet, resting his body on the ground. sighing deeply, with regret.

"i actually want to confess today." he said, looking at jimin and then to tzuyu. those two then looking at each other before going back to the fallen jungkook.

"so then, why are you late?" jimin asked.

"i- i freaking overslept." he whines.

"im deceased." tzuyu replied, rolls her eyes intensely almost feeling like she's going to choke jungkook. he's not always overslept, but when he do it, it was at the most important day of his life. absurd, isn't it?

he even overslept during his final examination, he came an hour before the time ends, luckily. also did the same for his first day as an intern in a company. don't forget to count in when he's late to attend his mom's second wedding for the same freaking reason. overslept.

"you'll see them in two months, don't worry." said jimin wheedles.

"i should be glad to hear that, but somehow i feel like a useless brat right now. thanks anyway, chim." jungkook responded.

Jimin stretches out his hand for jungkook, that man reaches jimin's hand and supporting himself to stand up. jimin pulling jungkook up.

"oh yaaa, yeri said she hates you." jimin laughs.

jungkook sighed again.

"you don't have your phone right now, isn't it?" tzuyu look at him up and down.

"yeah." he replied slow.

"let's grab some breakfast first." she suggests.

"finally a call for food." said jimin. drags jungkook with him over his neck.

_

yeri sits in between her mom and taehyung, in the middle. when she's about to turned off her phone, she received a text from tzuyu saying jungkook left his phone at home when he rushes out of his house. As expected by tzuyu, jungkook really overslept. yeri chuckles curtly. but feels sad also. she couldn't understand.

tzuyu also said jungkook arrived a slight minutes after yeri and taehyung get into the flight.

"what a loser." said yeri kinda upset.

"what is it?" mom asked.

"jungkook overslept, so we end up not meeting him before left. he had just come though." said yeri showing to the elder that she's annoyed.

"oh, that is why i didn't see him."

"yep, ugh that man!"

"it is okay, sweety. he cannot control things like that. there is a reason as why god doesn't allows him to meet you today." she said positively. yeri shoots a smile to that lady. as always, a supportive, positive and lovely mom ever. reason why dad loves her!

"alright, mom." yeri nods.

on the other side, taehyung is already asleep as soon as he put on his mask.
