My Lover Bastard

Chapter 14

Author POV

"Kook ah, we have booked a place at Springs Hotel for dinner tonight. Can you join us after work for dinner?"

"Umma, I told you—"

"Just this once, Kook ah. We are back for almost a week and you are not coming home ever since."

Jungkook is not close with his parents but he respects his Mother. He knows that she was being forced to separate from him when he was young. He remembered the tears that were overflowing from her eyes when he was pulled away from her. But his Father needs her to run the company with him, hence, she had to stay in America.

"Fine."

"Thank you, Kook ah. 7pm at Springs Hotel Level 2 Springs Garden. We will see you there."

Hanging up the call, Jungkook lied back in his chair, pinching the bridge of his nose as he unlocked his phone once again.

"Yuna, I won't be going to your place tonight. Dinner with my parents at Springs Hotel."

It was almost an immediate reply from Yuna as she was having her lunch time with her colleagues.

"No problem. Glad to know that you are working out with your parents."

Their interactions were still a little formal and unfamiliar, since they promised each other to start anew and get to know one another like friends.

Smiling at his screen, Jungkook typed again, "I will miss you, don't worry."

An emoji of a punch was replied right away, earning a laugh from Jungkook. Suddenly, he doesn't feel that stressed anymore. Like what Yuna said, they are his parents after all. He needs to learn to accept them.

It has been a long time since the girls have met. Therefore, they decided to meet up at their favourite ramen place for dinner after work.

"Yah unnie, so are you guys staying together already?" SinB snuggled closer to Yuna.

"Err... technically, we are not. He just comes over these few nights because his parents are in town and they are not in good terms." Yuna truthfully replied, staring into their investigatory eyes.

"Yuna, don't you think you are progressing a little too fast with Jungkook?" Sojung asked, picking up the last few strands of ramen from her bowl.

Yuna sighed, hesitated for a while before nodding slowly. "I don't know either actually. I think we progressed a little too fast, at the same time, I feel like it's not wrong."

Yerin patted her shoulder, comforting her from her insecurities. "We are not questioning your feelings. We are just concerned. I mean you guys were like ultimate enemies for such a long time and suddenly got together."

"Unnie, if you really like him, we are going to support you all the way." Yewon encouraged her unnie, letting her unnie feel her sense of determination.

"Thank you girls. I am still trying to figure a way out for the both of us. He is trying to manage things out too."

"As long as he doesn't hurt you, we are okay." Eunha nodded, flashing a sweet smile.

"Kook ah, the smoked salmon risotto here is one of the best. Have some to try." Umma pushed the plate towards me, urging me to scoop some.

Indeed, the taste is not bad. I nodded in acknowledgement as she put her utensils down.

"Where is Abeoji?" I asked, looking around for his presence. "He is taking quite long in the washroom."
