Wendy Stories

Too Young: WenKook (4)

Epilogue; Since Jungkook was a minor, they agreed to date once he turned eighteen. Wendy turned in her college applications early and had been waiting for a response. When she received the mail, her most preferred university accepted her! She was thrilled and shared the news with Jungkook and Yeri. They were equally as thrilled.

"I got in! You guys, I actually got in!" she exclaimed, gripping the letter while jumping. She and Yeri screamed together, holding hands and smiling. Jungkook mocked them, copying their exact movements and amplifying the high-pitched voice. Wendy and Yeri were too ecstatic to care. Jungkook started clapping for Wendy and Yeri did too. Wendy beamed at them and they had a group hug. Yeri eventually allowed Wendy and Jungkook some time alone.

Jungkook pulled her in for a one-handed hug, the other hand being in his pocket. He kissed the top of her head and began stroking her hair.

"I'm so proud of you, Wendy."

"Thank you," she said as she ruffled his hair. "I'm happy about being accepted, but now that I have you in my arms, I'm sad." Her head lowered to the ground.

He pushed her back lightly and jutted her chin. "Why are you sad?" She smiled sadly as she touched his cheek. "I'll be going to college soon. I won't live here anymore, so I won't see you as much."

Jungkook hugged her again, tighter. "Don't worry about that. I'll visit you there and you can go back here for the holidays. We'll make it work. I know we will." His confident smile and words reassured her. She smiled back. "Don't forget to take of Yeri when I'm gone." His smile grew bigger. "Of course."

He was right. They did make it work. Miles apart yet they still were close. He visited her whenever he could and she drove back home when breaks came. They utilized texting and video calling during their free time.

Jungkook's senior year rolled by and he turned eighteen. He officially asked her out when he came to her campus. He bought a promise ring and surprised her when she came out of class, disoriented. He laid down on one knee and Wendy's eyes widened. Her peers were shocked as well.

"Wendy, will you do me the honors of being my girlfriend?" As soon as he said 'girlfriend,' she relaxed with a breath of relief. She totally thought he was going to propose to her.

"Yes, Jungkook, I will be your girlfriend!" He put the ring on her ring finger on her right hand. She was too occupied staring at the beautiful ring to notice him getting ready to carry her. He lifted her, carrying her legs followed by her back. It was the bridal carry! She and her peers laughed.

He settled her down on a bench and she sat upright. "I can't believe you're going to college soon! Do you know where you want to go?"

"I'll go to your university." She stared at him, nervous. "How come?"

"I like the focus of the university." She released another breath of relief. She thought he only wanted to go for her. "That's great. Maybe I'll see you next year, then."

Jungkook followed the same process as Wendy (and other seniors). He submitted his college applications and waited for the letters. He got into the same university as Wendy! Instead of telling her in person, he called her because of the distance.

"I'll see you next year, Wendy!"

"What do you-"

"I got in!"

She screamed. Jungkook covered the phone to block the noise.

"I'm so proud of you!"

"I know you'll be in your junior year whereas I'll be a freshman, but we can make it through together."

"Definitely. You taught me how age is just a number; we've been through several obstacles already. We're in this together."

There you have it, folks. Jungkook successfully got the girl and convinced her to date him, despite the age difference. And what he said was true. Age is just a number-just make sure you're at a legal age.
