3. | Captain & Dumpling

My cheeks flushed a deep red as Taehyung gave me a quick side hug before bidding goodbye.

"Bye Sohye!" He said as his mouth formed into its captivating rectangle shape.

"Bye," I smiled back.

He grinned one last time and grabbed his large black suitcase to head towards his taxi.

My heart hurt a little bit, as I had grown way too attached to a boy I had known for barely a day.

I watched as he disappeared into the yellow taxi before it drove away.

I stood there for a minute before snapping out of it as my vision soon turned black.

What?

I could tell they were hands, but confusion flooded my mind.

What kind of person is putting their hands over peoples faces like this?!

I furrowed my eyebrows before rapidly grabbing the unknown pair of hands off my faces.

My body instantly turned around to be met with arms engulfing me into a large hug.

I looked up to see a boy grinning at me, his nose scrunched and eyes wrinkled.

Jungkook.

"Hey Dumpling! I've missed you!" Jungkook exclaimed as he hugged me tighter.

"Captain Jeon!" I screamed, although they were muffled since my face was in his chest.

Jungkook had called me 'Dumpling' ever since we were five. The reason was pretty weird though. One day in kindergarten, my mom had made me dumplings to bring to school for lunch. When some girl named Juhyun had found out I had dumplings, she pushed me over and took them from me. I'll never forget that day. The day I lost a part of me. May my beloved dumplings rest in piece.

I call Jungkook 'Captain Jeon' because he had always loved to pretend he was a ship captain in our old treehouse. Good times, good times.

"How long have you been here?" I asked as I looked up at him.

"Long enough to see you gawking over Mr. Soulmate." He rolled his eyes.

I slapped his arm before grabbing my suitcase and walking away.

"Hey wait up!" He shouted as he ran after.

"That was uncalled for, you swine." I said as I also rolled my eyes.

"You're the one who was telling me how much you loved him yesterday! God, girls are so weird."

"Shut up."

... ... ...

"I'm so stupid! How could I?! Why-," I yelled before Jungkook slapped his hand over my mouth.

"Shut up!"

I pulled his hand off before continuing to rant, "You don't understand! I forgot to get his number! It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I missed it!"

Jungkook rolled his eyes before walking away to the living room.

"Stop rolling your eyes, your eyes are gonna fall out!" I yell.

"That's the point!"

I huff in annoyance before also heading out to the living room.

I walk my way to the couch and plop myself next to Jungkook.

My hands make their way to my pockets to fish out my phone.

I laugh out loud before stuffing my phone back into my pocket.

Jungkook is smiling cheekily with his phone in hand.

"Man, why am I so funny?" He chuckles as he pats his own back.

"You're not." I reply.

"Listen here-," He tries to say before I cut him off.

"Moving on, can we please go to Pluto?!" I beg with my hands clasped together, as I mustered the nicest face I could make.

Pluto is this cute cafe at the end of our neighborhood. I mentioned it in my conversation with Taehyung earlier.

Taehyung.

*i miss him already, uwu*

"Fine, you rat."

"Thanks, grain of rice."

Jungkook sarcastically smiles before grabbing his wallet and jacket from the coffee today.

"Wait! Let me go change!"

I quickly jump up and run towards my room, almost tripping over the side table in the process.

Jungkook laughs out loud and I ignore it as I change into a comfy sweater and pajama pants.

I run back out to see him standing against the door.

"Let's head out Dumpling."
