“Why are you here?, aren't-”
“I know your sister's at the hospital kid, your Dad told me I just came to say hi besides your mother asks me, for you to help me get some of your sister's clothes so I can take it with me cause I'll be on my way there.” Chaerin explains, her hands on her hips.
Jimin then excused himself to the two before leading Chaerin towards his sister's room. “Her clothes are in the closet, do you want me to stay or-”
“No, go and entertain your guest.. Jimin, I can managed. Anyway can I borrow a bag just to put some of her clothes in.” She asks.
“I'm gonna get one in my room, I'll be right back Chaerin noona.” He says.
Chaerin took immediately some of her best friends clothes outside the closet.
“Who was that Jimin?” Taehyung asks.
Jimin walks inside looking for some of his spare bagpack. “She’s my sister's bestfriend.”
Taehyung nods. “What are you looking for?”
“A bag to place my sister's clothes that she'll be taking to the hospital with her.” Jimin answers.
“Can I ask you something man?” Kai says after arranging his things.
“Sure, what?” Jimin responded as he took the black bagpack.
“You told us your sister's sick, what type of illness got her?, if you don't mind asking?” Kai asks.
Before he could answer a piercing scream was heard from his sister's room.
Chaerin took some of her best friends clothes.
But then she heard something.
She turns around to find no one.
She sighs. “Don’t scare yourself Chaerin-ah.” She tells herself.
“Then don't. ”
For those word's she screams her heart out, startled.
As most of the people inside the house rushed towards his sister's room for the blood piercing scream that Chaerin did, only to see Jackson standing by the door way scratching the back of his neck while Chaerin took a pillow to throw it, on his face that he was able to dodge landing it on Jimin's father's face.
“Uncle I'm so sorry. ” She apologetically says.
Mr. Park sigh's picking up the pillow. “It’s all right Chaerin. ”
Chaerin glares at Jackson. “Who the hell is he?!, he given me a heart attack!, I was about to peed my pants!”
Jimin sigh's. “Sorry Chaerin noona, this is Jackson a friend of mine.”
“Well teach him some manners of not startling people!” She stated.
Jimin nods handing her the bagpack in his hands.
She took it as she rushed back inside his sister's room slamming the door shut.
“How about some of you boy's help me make dinner.” Jimin's father stated, diverting the youngsters attention.
He was answered by a couple of ‘yeah’ and ‘yes’. He turns to Jackson asking. “Why we're you sneaking up her?, I thought you we're going to use the toilet before you left us?” He asks pointing at Namjoon for just earlier the three of them we're talking about Jackson's hometown which was Hong Kong as he promises if ever they visit him in China he'd given them a tour.
“I was about too uncle but then I heard her talking and so I answered for her not to look stupid.” Jackson simply answers. “I was only helping, I thought in Korea being helpful is a must?”
Namjoon shakes his head sighing. “Forgive my friend uncle, his a foreigner and he just came here for over four months, due to company projects...he was destined in here.”
Namjoon and Jackson we're already adults yet they came along this trip since Jackson became friends with Taehyung, Namjoon’s younger brother.
Jackson is a architectural engineer who is working for a project in Namjoon’s company. He became friends with him due they work hand in hand for the project as Namjoon is the company's Infrastructure Director.
“All right.” Jimin's father nods.
“Wow seems home made food really is the best!” Taemin cheers.
Jimin's father smiles.
“Yeah try this babe, I help uncle making this one.” Kai points the corn soup to his girlfriend.
Jennie nods her head understanding before speaking. “Thank you uncle for letting us here again.”
The old man then replies. “Your welcome, anyways this house haven't had that many guest to fill in and besides I should be the one thanking you children to made this house lively with your presence. ”
Everyone of them shows thankful smiles on their faces.
“I hope you don't mind me and Jennie leaving tomorrow to look around the area?” Kai stated through the crowd.
Rosé wiggles her brows at the couple.
Jennie shyly glances back at Kai.
“Can I tag along?, I wanna see and get inspiration for my designs through this towns scenery.” The only Chinese man in the group asks.
Namjoon clears his throat hissing at his foreigner friend. “Jackson don't you get it the couple wanna have their moment for themselves. ”
“Oh?, I'm sorry...” He says as Jennie nods her head to Jackson who was bowing slightly showing his way of apology.
Mr. Park laughs at their situation.
Jimin runs a hand through his hair finding the dinner chaotic.
“Jimin I suggests you show your friends around the place tomorrow since you all came for vacation you can use my car too if you need too.” Mr. Park announces.
Jackson gleefully cheers. “Thank you Sir, for your generosity so who's with me tomorrow for sight seeing?”
Almost everyone raise their hands up except for the couple who'll be separating from the group to have the day to themselves driving separately from them using Jennie's car.
Also a certain someone too who didn't raise his hand up. “Taemin, your not coming? ” Taehyung asks his friend.
“No thank you, I'd very much be relax staying in the room to sleep or entertain myself with my phone through Mr. Park's WiFi connection in his house.” Taemin excuses.
“Dude seriously?” Jimin asks.
“Yeah.” Taemin answers.
“But-”
“I'm tired driving and even if you offer you'll be driving I just want to rest for tomorrow I'll go with you guys plans for next day of our stay here.” Taemin reassures his friend.
