I'm Breaking

Chapter 17

Chaeyoung PoV

"Eomma, eomma, look!" she yelled. 

I brought Jiyoon to Jungkook's place before I leave for Hawaii. Jennie couldn't because she went to Busan earlier today to pick up the fabric she wants to use for her clothing line. 

And she wanted to pass by some cities for sightseeing, so Jisoo and Lisa came with her on a road trip. Usually, I'd drive them if we were going on a road trip but then I'm not around so I guess Lisa is driving right now. 

Either of them can bring Jiyoon so I brought her to Jungkook's before the meeting of our medical staff will review our safety procedures and activity guidelines. 

She roamed around Jungkook's apartment, and felt excited about how huge the apartment is. It's bigger than my house and Jiyoon really loves to run around the house for fun. 

Apparently, Jungkook wasn't awake yet when we came here but he messaged me the password to his room. When we went inside, he was still in the shower and I decided to cook him macaroni and cheese. 

Jiyoon was crying last night because I had to leave but when I told that she'll be staying with her Jungkook-appa, she suddenly stopped and started to jump around. 

I guess Jungkook and Jiyoon are really close now that they spend time more than with me. It's no big deal for me because I feel really grateful that someone is loving Jiyoon like a father. 

As I was cleaning the cooking materials that I used to make Jungkook some food, foot steps are heard coming downstairs. 

"Aish, I'm sorry I woke up late," Jungkook said with a hoarse voice. "My hyungs and I still drank soju last night."

"Are you sober now or I'll make you coffee?" I asked. 

He waved his wrist lowly, "Nah, it's fine. Hot chocolate can do."

"Appa!!!!" Jiyoon ran to him,

"Hey, sunshine!" he bent down and hugged her. "How are you?"

"I'm sad..eomma is leaving again but I'm also happy because I'm staying with you!" Jiyoon says. 

Jungkook tilted his head, "Eomma is leaving? Aww. I'm also sad then!" 

I laughed at how Jungkook decided to play with Jiyoon's game. He was acting sad and as if he doesn't know I was leaving at all. 

He was one of the first people to find out that I was going to Hawaii. Ugh, I hoped he didn't vote for me to be the medical mission leader. If he did, I will hate him and make him rot because I don't want to go anymore.

"Uh-huh, eomma is leaving..." Jiyoon looked sad. 

Jungkook cupped her cheek, "Don't cry, sunshine. Eomma will be back and what's good is that we'll hang out together. If you cry, eomma and appa will be sad, arrasseo?" 

"Alright, I won't cry! Promise!" she smiled. 

He ruffled her hair, "That's my girl. Come on, let's eat."

I placed the food on top of the counter because Jungkook's dining table is filled with his messy office work. His laptop was there charging, papers everywhere and a lot of folders and envelopes. 

So instead, we have to eat on the kitchen counter. 

"You have got to clean your apartment, I am not allowing my kid to live here for the next 2 weeks with bacteria everywhere," I said. 

He laughed at me, "Rachel always sends a maid whenever I reach work so don't worry."

"Still!" I looked at Jiyoon. "Baby, make sure your appa will clean, okay?"
