The stomping sound of feet approaching her way alerts Ms. Kim which makes her stop whisking the cream that she was preparing for dinner tonight and her eyes look through her glasses at the girl who now stands next to her. Her hair a little messy, her phone in one hand and her breath shaky and panting because of running all the way from her room upstairs!
"What is wrong with you??" Ms. Kim barks looking at her daughter, "do you realize I got scared thinking there were burglars in our house!" She whines shaking her head in disbelief..
"I'm sorry eomma but.. it's literally crazy and I need your help!"
"Help with what?" Ms. Kim asks as she resumes with whisking again
"Ughh Kim Seokjin won't stop calling me! I don't want to talk to him anymore. I mean what's wrong with him? Can't he understand I don't want to see him anymore.. we are done!"
"Y/n" she gives you a look, "it's nothing wrong if he wants to talk. The day you broke up with him, you told me you two are done but will carry on to be friends.. whatever happened to that saying"
You roll your eyes, "yeah but friends don't keep sending flirty texts!" You protest, "I know he still wants to date me and then eventually ask my hand for marriage.. I can't do it anymore eomma.. I don't know why but.. I never felt that he's the one"
Ms Kim pouts and washes her hands to comfort you.
Well you were in love with him, definitely yes but Jin was too good to be true for you..He was a little too much.... In everything!
Be it his overprotectiveness or be it his never ending calls-- yeah the boy would literally call you for almost everything! He would even inform you when he ate, when he slept and what not!
Yeah at first it was all cute but after some time it only became irritating because hey you have a private life which you very much respect after all!Maybe you would have liked it all had Jin actually been your significant other.. just maybe.
"What do you want me to do, hun?" Your mom asks you as she looks at you
You sigh and look at her, "if Jin calls you and asks about me just tell him she's sleeping or better tell him I'm dead!" You announce
"Seriously?" Your mom gives you a look of disbelief, " It doesn't looks anywhere like you're 25 y/n!" "You guys are acting like teenagers."
You huff, "he will call you eomma.... I don't know but please tell him that I loved him.. I know I'm breaking his heart but.... I can't.."
Your mom nods weakly with a faint smile, "alright now will you do me a favor hun?"
You nod at her, "what is it?"
"I made some-" she pauses and lets out a chuckle, "not 'some' but many brownies.. I want you to go give some to Mrs Jeon.. poor thing must be still mused in taking care of her son.."
You gulp as soon as you hear your mom referring to jungkook.
Nope, you two didn't have any history as such, it was you who had this huge crush on him for a long time- maybe you still do but you repressed all those thoughts since the time he got married."Alright" you agree as she hands over a cute purple colored paper bag to you which was filled with the world's best brownies exclusively made by your mother..
Your mother has known Mrs. Jeon for a long long time! Apparently the two have studied in the same college together and coincidentally she was working with your mom in the office she used to go to a few years ago and then her son, jungkook shifted in Seoul when you were in the last year of college. You remember how he had started his venture as a big business man here. You had met him a few times at the parties and little get togethers you and your mom would keep to meet Mrs jeon and her daughter jisoo. However, he got married and duh him and his wife needed privacy which is why Mrs jeon and jisoo had shifted back to busan where they live with Mr jeon. So basically all these reasons made the bond between the ladies to only prosper as much as it could.
Mrs jeon was just like a mother to you. She pampered you a lot whenever she visited Seoul with her daughter jisoo who happens to be your close friend
Jisoo and you were almost the same, your choices, tastes and everything matched so perfectly that it made you feel like she's the sister who must have separated from you after birth..
Everyone in the family was fine except jungkook!
This lad was seokjin's, you ex, best friend. Although seokjin was quite possessive of you and so he hardly took you out to parties where there were his friends or anyone who owned a dïck was present and so you didn't personally know jungkook that much..~~
"Thank you so much!" Mrs jeon exclaims excitedly as she picks the handbag from your grip."Ah no it's a duty!" You state making her giggle, "how are you all doing?" You ask stepping inside as she guides you inside the hall room
She sighs, you could very well tell that even if she says they all are holding up well, deep inside they all were shattered. Indeed loosing someone was a great loss nothing can repair.
"We are still trying to cope up. Jisoo and I are still doing better but jungkook.." she presses her lips in dismay. You place your hand over her shoulder and give it a squeeze.
"If there's anything I can do for you.. please never hesitate to ask me.. you are the only 'family' we have that we can blindly trust after all"
She smiles genuinely at you, "aren't you so sweet darling" she compliments making you blush..
The both of you were busy chit chatting when suddenly the sound of the doorknob clicking alerts the two of you.
Your eyes point towards the direction from where the sound of heels was coming from and there you find jisoo and jungkook standing along with the cute little baby who was wrapped in a blanket and was cradled in her father's warm embrace."Oh my my!" Jisoo exclaims, "y/n!" She runs up to you on the couch and hugs you sideways, "why didn't you call me!? I could have come back home early!"
You smile, your eyes darting timely towards the manly figure standing shyly.
"Uh.. it's alright" you state giggling
Your peripheral vision sees him walking past you with his girl.
He didn't even bother to say hi or anything at all.. not even a smile.Was he this anti social now? You remember how jin used to tell you how Jungkook and him would party so frequently on weekends.
Is this what is left of that jungkook now?Isn't there anything which can bring back that happiness, that long lost sociability which he once was fond of..
It was all so weird that you were even driven to think so much about him..
You couldn't help but sympathize.. because no matter how hard you try to deny it but your heart still skips a beat for him.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
