WE HEADED OUT OF THE RESTAURANT. As we stepped onto the sidewalk, Jungkook's phone started ringing in his pocket. He dug it out, taking a second to check the caller ID before raising the device to his ear. "Yeah?"

I stopped and turned to face him, my arms folded tightly across my chest. The wind had started to pick up and a grey haze had taken to the sky. Large storm clouds had started to roll in, and it looked as if it could start raining at any second. As much as I loved the rain, I really didn't want to get caught in the middle of a thunder storm. I preferred to be at home, curled up with a good book and a cup of tea during that sort of weather.

Jungkook eventually removed his eyes from the sidewalk, panning upwards to me. "Yeah, that's fine. I'll tell her right now." He lowered the phone. "Taehyung said that you're fine to go home, if you want to. We're only going to be practicing, and he said he doesn't want you getting bored."

I chewed my lip, contemplating my options. "I suppose I could go home. . ."

"I mean, you don't have to," Jungkook quickly added. "You're welcome to stay."

I shook my head. "No, it's alright. I need to go shopping for a few things anyway," I said, thinking out loud. "And, I could use some more clothes. . . I also need to get something for dinner tonight."

Jungkook raised the phone back to his ear and looked up and down the street. "Is it alright if I stay with Ellie?" Jungkook paused, listening intently. "I'll make sure she gets home safe. . . Yeah, I'll see you later."

Once Jungkook ended the call, I shot him a stern look. "Seriously?" I shifted my stance. "What are you, now? My body guard? I don't need a baby sitter."

Jungkook slid his phone back into his pocket. "I know, but you just moved here, right? In a city like this, it's very easy to get lost. Especially if you're new." Jungkook noticed my sour expression and sighed. "Look, think of me as your tour guide. I'll show you around; help you familiarise yourself with the area. When you're done, I'll drop you off at home and then we'll go our separate ways."
