6 | Mother Knows Best

"Like mother, like daughter."

•••

Saturday came quicker than I had hoped for. Over the days, me and Jungkook still texted each other, asking about each other's day and how we were doing. He texted me every morning and night to wish me a good day or a good night. I would be lying if I said I didn't find his kindness attractive.

"Thank you again mom, you know, for the Puma jacket."

My mother and I walked side by side through the crowded mall.

"Oh honey, it's the least I can do. I just love spending time with you when I can! If you want anything else, you know you can ask me."

"Thanks mom but I'm good. The jacket is enough." I smiled to her. "I am hungry though. Can we get B-"

"Bon Chon!?" My mother expressed in a joyful tone.

"Burger King, mom. Burger King."

"Oh."

"I'm kidding mom, yes Bon Chon." I laughed as I teased her.

She made a tsk sound and playfully slapped my shoulder as she shook her head.

"Bon Chon it is."

As we received our food from the waiter, we bowed our heads in unison to thank him then turned to look at our dishes.

I caught a scent of the kalbi and sighed in pleasure. "It smells so good."

"I'm sure it tastes good too." My mom said as she took her chopsticks and started to dig into her noodles.

We ate in silence for the most part, not because it was awkward or anything but because the food was just so delicious.

Bzzzzz.

I shot my head towards my phone which laid on the table. My mom also happened to move her gaze towards my electronic device. I picked it up and checked to see what notification I had received.

"Is that Amy?"

I glanced up at my mom and then back to my phone as I typed a reply back to Jungkook.

"Uh.....yeah."
