BECOMING HUMAN

CHAPTER 23

Fixing the hem of her dress, Aurora looked in the mirror to double check if she was complete. She was dumbstruck by the situation that occurred last night.

There's something different about Jungkook...but I just can't pinpoint it.

Sighing to herself, she departed from her bedroom and stood before the living room. Logan had previously helped Aurora get a spare key since Jungkook never gave her one. She was now free to leave her apartment as she liked. Aurora remembered Jungkook's request to come to his job. He was going to take her, but Aurora didn't want to go too soon. She wanted to prepare her mind for what was in store for her.

"I've never been in such a high-end environment," She whispered. "I don't want them to read me if they can identify a poor person when they see one."

Hearing Logan knock at the door, Aurora opened it. "Surprise," Posing, he waves his hands in the air.

"Seeing you isn't even a surprise anymore, Logan," Aurora smirked, inviting him in.

Logan chuckled, closing the door behind him. "Well, pardon me, madam," Seeing that Aurora was well dressed, Logan questioned her agenda for the day.

"I was originally planning on going to Jungkook's job today because apparently, his boss wants to meet me...but I changed my mind. I don't really feel like going. I think I'll just go a different day."

"He's modeling, right?"

"Yeah," Aurora nodded.

"Hmm..." Logan tapped his chin. "He didn't tell you the address of his jobsite, did he?"

"As usual, Jungkook always leaves out something important—so no, he didn't tell me."

"Great," Logan dropped his shoulders. "I was going to offer you a ride to get there, but if he didn't even tell you his agency or the address...then we're stumped."

"I didn't wanna go anyways, to be honest..." Aurora grumbled. "I'd feel out of place, belittled, unimportant—not that I'm not already all those things."

"Ah, don't say that about yourself," Logan pats her back. "You're a one in a million."

"In poverty." Aurora added.

"Girl, you got jokes." Logan laughed. "You're living in a complex now. You are FAR from poverty." Logan went to the fridge to get a drink. "You got any drinks?"

Sitting on the couch, Aurora said, "Jungkook brought some takeout, so you can just drink the sodas in the bag."

"Ah, I don't drink soda."

Aurora's ears perked. Looking at him, she questioned his sanity.

"It's just not my thing. I'm more of a liquor or juice drinker. If I'm in the mood, I like to mix them together to make a nice cocktail."

"Cock...tail?" Aurora grimaced.

"It's a type of drink, sweetie," Logan twirls the carton of watermelon juice in the air. "Get your mind out of the gutter."

"I wasn't thinking dirty, moron." Aurora grumbled under her breath. "I just didn't know what it was."

"Oh right, you aren't a drinker, after all." Logan smiled. "Maybe tonight, I can go and fetch a nice bottle of Moscato, and I can offer it to you? Only a shot though. I wouldn't want you to get drunk."

"Get drunk? I don't even know what that's like." Aurora confessed.

"I do, and believe me. The first-time hits hard. Don't try it."
