Cupid Ran Out of Arrows

What She Didn't Know

Classes was over and you received a text from Lisa that they are back on the apartment. You saw Jungkook on his way out the school gate and you've decided to turn everything to normal again.

"Hey!" You called but he didn't turned around.

"Hey!" You repeated and finally Jungkook stopped and looked back and you approached him with a smile. "Sorry for slamming the door at you yesterday."

"It's okay." He said and when you didn't spoke he nodded slightly and turned around.

"What time would aunty be there tomorrow?" You asked as you joined him walking.

"Oh— so you heard me, that's good. In the late afternoon I guess. She told me she'll leave after lunch." He said then looked at you. "Will you join us? But you know— if you just want it— if you're— uhmm I could tell her for you."

"I'll cooked for her. That's a small thing for what she has done for me. I want to greet her personally as well, maybe buy her a gift." You said.

"You don't owe her anything now. Aunty— your mom— paid for everything. I'm glad your father won the case." He said and you felt guilty that he still knows what's going on with your life but you don't know anything about his. "Nice talking to you again."

It was very formal, you felt like you were talking to one of your dongsaeng. Not the bunny you grew up with. When he turned the other way around instead of the bus stop you both go, you went after him.

"Where are you going? Your apartment's headed this way, same as mine." You said trying to loosen him up.

"I'm going to buy mom a gift. It's will be kinda busy for me this week so— bye." He said.

"Can I come with you?" You said which seems to caught him in surprise. "I want to buy her a gift as well."

Jungkook seems to think of the situation. The look on his face wants to turn you down. "— but you know if you don't wanna I can go home."

Jungkook furrowed his brows at you, puzzled by your action. "No! You can come with me and— if you want." He said.

You both stared in front of a lingerie shop in Shilla Duty Free shop. "You're going to buy your mom underwears?" You asked as you chuckled. "Isn't that a little bit — I don't know— weird?"

"Mom's got a boyfriend." Jungkook rubbed his face. "On the other hand, yeah this is weird, maybe a fucking diffuser would please her instead."

"We travelled thirty minutes to get here. There's diffuser in Hongdae, we should have bought something there instead." You said.

"You think?" He was clearly irritated as he shakes his head at you. At least now you're sure, you missed him. You missed being with him, his frustrated cute face to be exact.

"Why did you thought of buying a lingerie for her on the first place?" Both of you were still keeping a distance from the store entrance but didn't move.

"I heard her on the phone talking to your mom. She asked if she could come to Seoul and buy something in this store. I think Aunty was busy with your house's — fuck this is awkward." He said scratching his head.

"How about— I'll buy Aunty this one then we'll think of your gift. Something a bit modest." You told him.

He flicker his gaze at you then nodded. "Can I stay here Noona? I don't wanna go inside." He whined.
