• Laundry •

Prologue

Jeon Jooyeon

I walked out of my house, with my so called brother, Jeon Jungkook. We are now heading to the laundry where we usually went to whenever we're both lazy to do laundry.

"Jungkook-ah,", I called Jungkook as we walked towards the nearest laundry which is only a few blocks away from my apartment.

"What?", he answered, his eyes still looking ahead.

"Let's go to Domino's later after we--"

"No.", he cut me off, even before I could finish pleading for him to buy me pizza when I am starving as hell right now.

"Aish, seriously! Buy me some, please!", I pleaded again, linking his arm with mine.

"Just settle your laundry first!", he said to me, yanking my arm away from his as I crossed my arms against my chest sulkily.

"Ugh, look at you being all sulky and all but nope, I'm not going to give in.", Jungkook shook his head, as we reached the laundry.

Holy, the whole place is empty!

"I told you to get here earlier before it gets crowded.", Jungkook spoke, nudging my arm as he flashes me his victory smile.

"Whatever, Jungkook.", I rolled my eyes obnoxiously, walking towards the washing machine as I shoved my clothes into it.

"Ayo, little sister.", he poked my back, as I turned around to face him in a very bored manner.

"What?"

"What topping would you like for your pizza--", before he could finish off, I threw myself at him, giving him a very tight hug as an appreciation to his will to buy me Domino's as what I demanded.

I pulled away from him, continue to shove my clothes into the washing machine. "I know you love me after all."

"I'm leaving now, bye.", he ignored my statement as he walked off to Domino's to get me my pizza.

"Aww, Jungkook you are my brother but I'd never admit it in front of you.", I smirked to myself, pushing the buttons as I approached the vacant seat, waiting patiently for my clothes to be fully clean.

While I was scrolling through my chats, my eyes suddenly noticed a thin figure walking lazily towards the washing machine next to the one that was occupied with my clothes. I just watched his every movement, and notice that he has such a smooth and clear glowing milky fair skin.

But even so, he seems to be ignorant.

"Oh my god, his skin is definitely goals.", I whispered to myself, making sure he didn't hear my comment about his skin.

And he didn't, causing me to heave out a sigh in relief, but then my relieved self turned back into a big lump of anxiety as I saw him walking towards me, sitting right next to me as he started to doze off.

"Wow, he really is ignorant.", I muttered to myself, shaking my head at the sight of a sleeping guy.

I shifted my gaze back at my phone screen, watching Blackpink's new music video. "WOO, QUEEN JENNIE!", I fangirled as soon as Jennie's part goes on, and I swear I feel like screaming my lungs out when I see four goddesses in a music video.

"Aish, shut up really!", the guy suddenly groaned, but then he leaned his head on my shoulder as he went back to sleep.

"What the hell.", I glared at him, trying to shake him off from my shoulder but to no avail, his head is still leaning comfortably on my shoulder.

"Ugh, let's just let him be for now.", I reminded myself, shifting my gaze back at my Instagram.

Out of the blue, the guy's head slides lower and lower, until it almost reaches my chest area, and just then, Jungkook came, poking the guy's head that almost reaches my chest, slightly yanking his head away from my shoulder, waking him up.

"Ugh, what now??", the guy groaned as he scratches his soft black hair roughly, looking at the both of us with his cold gaze.

"What are you trying to do to my sister?", Jungkook growled, pulling me up from the bench as he held my hand securely, eyeing the guy dangerously.

The guy scoffed, rolling his eyes, completely irritated of Jungkook's overprotective brother side. "I didn't try to do anything to her.", he replied lazily, and just then, the guy's laundry is fully done, so he just bluntly walked passed by Jungkook, before he was grabbed by him.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"What now? My laundry is done, so I'm going to get it.", he said without looking at us and he went to the dryer to get his clothes.

But not so fast when Jungkook slammed the dryer door shut, causing the pale guy to look up to him with an emotionless face of his. "Stop fucking around me and tell me what the hell do you want.", he grunted, glaring at Jungkook.

"Tell me what are you thinking of doing to my little sister.", Jungkook mumbled underneath his breathe, staring intensely at the guy.

"I said I didn't try to do anything!", the guy grunted even louder, throwing his laundry basket onto the floor, causing a big chaos at the quiet place. Some other customers turned their head to us, eyeing us weirdly. "Coward.", the guy smirked, and Jungkook is looking so impatient right now as he raised his fist, aiming for the guy's face.

"JUNGKOOK, STOP!", I stepped in front of the guy, spreading my arms out in front of him, protecting him from being punched by Jungkook.

Jungkook's hitching breath gets better when he saw me in front of him, protecting the guy from being beaten to death by Jungkook. "Yah, get out of the way.", Jungkook eyed the guy dangerously, ignoring my demand.

"Now we all know who's the real coward here.", the guy spoke out again and Jungkook instantly snapped his neck at him.

"Okay, okay! Jungkook, stop. Let's just get out of here and go home, okay?", I said to Jungkook and only then, he turned his head to me, before gazing coldly at the guy earlier, slowly backing off and walked away, leaving me alone with the pale guy.

I turned my head to the guy, smiling sheepishly at him. "I'm sorry for his behaviour, he can be annoying and overly protective sometimes, haha."

"Well, it's okay. I wasn't mad for real either.", he said, without looking at me.

"Um, my laundry is done too, so bye. I apologize once again for his attitude.", I slightly bowed again at him.

"Anyway, tell him that I'm older than him."
