"I really don't know about this" I spoke, my fingers shaking nervously.

"Relax, you have nothing to worry. Just smile and stand, alright?"

We both stood beside each other facing a closed door. Jungkook was confident, while I, on the other hand, tried to look as confident as I could.

Before opening the door, Jungkook paused and looked to my side. He took a scan of me from top to bottom, after which his fingers brushed over his lips, leading his chin to rest between his thumb and index finger. Jungkook's eyebrow lifted up when his eyes searched me. The man was keenly observing me.

"What?"

"You actually dressed up for me" he commented. "That" he continued. "I didn't expect" a smile curved up his lips as he spoke. He was obviously teasing me.

"You want him to believe you don't you? Then this will help"

"But I have to say. You look beautiful in that red dress. Not that bad, Dr" he said, giving me the 'I'm kind of impressed' expression.

"It would be great if you could stare too much somewhere else, other than my breasts"

"Hey, in my defense, regardless of how good looking and rich I am, at the end of the day I'm a man" he chuckled, shaking his head in mockery.

"Either away dolled up or not, all this is just to get back one of your silly cards filled up"

Jungkook moved a step back while holding both his hands against his chest. He had a frown or rather a painful expression drawn all over his face, with his mouth wide open.

"Do you take me for a guy who would do all this to just get back one of my silly cards filled up?" he asked with the same expression. But soon after he finished his sentence, he pulled out two credit cards out of his pockets, pushing it on my face.

"I'm going to get TWO of my cards filled up" he smiled, like a child who's going to get candy. Jungkook rubbed his cards against his cheeks, creasing it after with his fingers while mumbling, my baby I'm going to bring you back to life.

Before I could say another word the door was flung open and I welcomed myself into Dr. Joon's office. The smell of coffee hit hard within seconds of our entry. He had his curtains spread out on each side and allowed the sunlight to reach into every corner of the space. Next to the grand table stood Mr. Joon, who was engrossed into the files he had piled up to sign.

When he finally decided to give us some attention, he gestured his hands asking us to take a seat. Mr.Joon had his back facing us. We both gave him the silence he needed. And with all the tension created in the room, I had to keep my mind from creating odd scenarios.

Mr.Joon was finally done and he turned to greet us. He smiled and wished us a good morning. There were dark patches under his eyes and the seven cups of coffee on his table clearly speak itself. He hadn't slept all night.

"This is an unusual sight," he said, pointing at the both of us with the glasses that he held. Mr.Joon chuckled and handed both of us a warm cup of coffee. His kind act surprised me and I couldn't resist repaying it with a smile. I took my time and slowly sipped some in.

"Father, I am in love with Dr.Minrae"

With those words that easily slipped out of Jungkook's mouth, I had my eyeballs fall out of its sockets in complete shock and I spat whatever coffee I had inside my mouth all over Jungkook. My head automatically turned to face him and gave him the 'what the fuck did you just say' look. But then I realized how he had his entire face stained with coffee, yet he just stood there like a statue, his eyes still glued together in shock.
