JUNGKOOK

Saturday comes around and we've been working on the English project, along with many others as well, all week. Unfortunately, we still need to work on our pronunciation of the English language, which means both Tae and I need more practice. That isn't much of a problem though, I'd just need to meet up with him sometime today.

"Hey Mama, can I ask you a question?" I walk into the kitchen with small steps while asking my mom. Not that I'm scared of her or anything, she can just be a little scary when she's baking.

"Sure, I'm all ears." My mother says as she turns around, making a big gesture towards her ears, indicating she truly is listening to me.

"I was just wondering if one of my friends could come over for-" I get cut off immediately by a loud gasp, even if I tried to talk really fast.

"Wait just one second," She calmly states before coming towards me, putting her arms onto my shoulders and staring into my eyes. "You're telling me that you, a quiet and so very awkward guy, have friends? And not only that, but you guys are close enough to invite each other to the others house?!"

She then engulfs me in a big, suffocating hug, while she lets out deafening and yet oh so fake cries.

"My son has-" I quickly push her away, as she aggressively wipes 'tears' off of her cheeks "Friends... I'm so proud of you"

My mother doesn't forget her signature 'squeeze the life out of her own son's face' while she says this, typical.

"Mama, please." I grab her hands and violently bring them down. I have no time to spare, this is an important matter. "Yes, I have friends. But I was wondering since we have a project for English and we need time to work on it"

"Why can't you just go to his house?"

"I already offered to invite him here," You could consider me a child hearing my whining just then. "Please?"

"Well no duh I'm letting him come over," She laughs "Just tell me when and everything will be fine"

My mother goes back to the counter, grabs her knife and goes on cutting her vegetables.

"Just let me know if I have to make you guys some food, okay?"

"Yeah yeah, don't worry." As I walk out, I add "Thanks and by the way, his name is Tae"

I head downstairs to my room, passing Jimin in the living who's on his phone, most likely texting Yoongi.

On any other normal day, I'd silently roll my eyes and tease him about his relationship, but something seems off lately. Jimin's gotten quieter. Doesn't mention his boyfriend as often as he would, doesn't talk about anything most of the time. For a social butterfly like my brother, it's quite odd for him to stay silent for over two minutes, let alone two days. Saying I'm concerned couldn't even begin to explain how I'm feeling.

But I rather not focus on my family for this moment, I have someone to invite to my awfully small home.

As I quickly run down the stairs and enter my room, I frantically start searching every corner of the area to find my light blue cased device.

"There you are," I say once I've got my phone in hand.

I don't hesitate to open it and look through my contacts for the 'T's.

💛Tae💛

He added the hearts himself, and I didn't have the heart to take them off. Something about the yellow reminds me of him, and the fact that they're hearts... I don't know what to think anymore if I'm being honest here.
