Chapter 9

Family Dinner. It was a normal occurrence in the Jeon household but tonight's felt different. The way his mother asked him to be home in time for it confused Jungkook slightly he had never missed a family dinner, nor where they usually announced. But here he was walking home from Abby's house carrying a couple of bags containing clothes he liked or was forced to buy by Abby because they made him look good. He shoved his phone back into his pocket after texting his mother that he was on his way home only a couple of blocks away.

The sun begun to set behind the city skyline casting shadows across the street, it was one of the quietest times of the day, everyone was at home eating dinner or getting dressed to go out for the night, the only people around were night shift workers and families adventuring into town for a weekend meal together.

Jungkook mindlessly walked home letting his feet direct him having walked this same path almost daily from study groups at Abby's home. Humming a song he had stuck in his head as he walked watching people through the windows of their homes as he passed interested in how others live their lives differently to him.

Slowly coming to a stop Jungkook looked at the surrounding houses,

"D-did I miss my street?" He looked up at the street sign above him, "how did I miss my street?" He turned around and begun walking back towards his street thoroughly confused on how he walked past his street.

"Jungkook you're late!" His mother set her hands on her hips still wearing her apron that had smudges of food across it.

"Sorry, I guess I was just walking slower than usual." He lied, not wanting to admit he walked past their street.

"Okay, go put those away in your room than come down for dinner." His mother walked off back toward the kitchen and dining room. He ran upstairs to his room, stopping outside the door upon hearing someone moving the room, specifically his wardrobe and drawers being opened and shut. Dropping the bags, Jungkook grabbed the door handle turning it slowly. Pushing the door open to see the room empty. The only object giving off someone was here, was the open him and not to the muddy paw prints that turned into human footsteps.

"What the hell?" Jungkook bent down looking at them. "Dog paws?" He pressed his eyebrows together confused.

"Dinner's ready!" His mother called,

"C-coming!" Jungkook called throwing his bags on the beds, deciding to deal with the footsteps later.

Dinner for the family was quite the usual, limited talking all focused on the food before them. The topics they spoke about ranged from the weather to recent news stories, to how their days went, to Jungkook's plan for the future where he would always answer he is still focused on becoming a doctor so he can help people. The dinner was going to plan as Jungkook finished he went to leave but his mother stopped him asking him to stay seated so they could have a 'family meeting'.

"We know that you are studying hard to get into a medical degree. But we would like you to also consider taking part in the family business."
