"It's.. Jungkook. I'll have 2 plates of jajangmyeon please."
"Water?" Taehyung asked.

"Yeah water."

The waiter nodded before leaving the two alone.


"Sorry, I got greedy.."
"It's okay." Taehyung took a sip of wine from his glass. "I know it's for your grandfather."

Jungkook looked at him with big eyes. "Y-you knew."

Is he some kind of mind reader?

They arrived home, silently standing by the front door as Jungkook fiddled with his fingers.

"Mm.."
"You wanna go see your grandpa, don't you?"

Jungkook nodded.

"Go ahead."
"Yes!"

"Hey."
"Yes, I'll be back before 8!"

He looked at the time and it was already 6:12pm. He grinned before running outside the door.

Does his grandpa live far though? Taehyung looked at his watch. Should I drive him there? It's half pass 6 it could be dangerous for him to-

Pause. Why do I care? He shook his head and went upstairs for a cold shower.


"Grandpa!" Jungkook barged into the door and hugged his grandfather.
"Jungkook, my son!"

"Grandpa, look what I brought for you."
"Jajangmyeon!" He sniffed into the bag.

"Thanks, son. How's work today? Is he bullying you? I'm gonna fight-"

"No grandpa.. he's.. actually really nice." He grinned.
"He better be. I missed you so much." He hugged his grandson.

"I missed you too, grandpa. You had your breakfast and lunch already, right? Please be careful, now that I'm not around. Call me if anything happens. You know what to do right?"

His grandfather's eyes began to water.

"Grandpa.." Jungkook cupped his cheeks. "I'll quit my job in a few months, I promise."

His grandfather smiled.

"No, Jungkook.." He caressed his cheeks. "Seeing you wear nicer clothes and working makes you seem so grown up now."

"Grandpa.." He smiled. "This isn't my first job.."

"I'm still proud, you have to keep this job for yourself. Don't bother visiting me too much, understand?"

"But-"
"I might be 68 but I'm doing just fine, can't you see I'm so healthy?"

Jungkook snuggled himself up onto the crook of his neck.
"Yes, you're very healthy, grandpa." He chuckled.


Jungkook woke up to himself lying on the couch, a thick blanket over him.

"Mmh.. Grandpa?" He drifted towards the room and saw him peacefully asleep on his bed.

He smiled to himself, kissing the top of his forehead. "I love you. Good night, grandpa." He looked at the side to see the bottle of pills.

He did took his pills. He grinned. "Sleep tight."

What Jungkook didn't realize was that, it was already pass 9.

Shit- I forgot to bring my keys with me. He knocked onto the door.

"S-sir? Are you awake? Sir-"

The door opened, only to be met with an enraged Kim Taehyung.

"Sir.. W-what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? Look at the time."

10:15 pm.

Shit.

"What took you so long?"
"I-i'm sorry.. I fell asleep while I was-"

"Excuses?"
"It's not an excuse!"

Taehyung crossed his arms.

"You know the rules."
"I know, I'm sorry, but I really did fell asleep."

"You're lying."

Jungkook looked away and barged up the stairs, towards his room.

"Giving me attitudes already? Where the fuck do you think you're going- Hey I'm not done with you!"

"What's the point." He pouted. "You're not going to believe me anyway, good night, sir."



He's so dead tomorrow morning.

I haven't even showered yet.. Jungkook looked at the mirror, then finally taking in the decorations of the room around him.

"Wow.." He touched onto the white cabinet. "I didn't know it'd be this pretty."

He lied in bed, looking at the ceiling.

"Mmh.." He closed his eyes and smiled to himself. "So comfy.. It's been years, hasn't it?" He rolled to the side. "I'll just shower tomorrow morning so I don't have to face that grumpy boss.."
