    "H-Hello?"

    "Hello? Jungkook?"

    "Hey, Junghee."

Jungkook chuckles nervously as his sister squeals excitedly on the other line.

"Jeon Jungkook, you asshole!" She exclaims.

"I'm~"

"It's been so freaking long!" Junghee says. "How could you wait so long to come home?"

"To be fair, no one's contacted me since I left. So..." Jungkook says, pulling at the frayed strings of the holes in his jeans.

"Only because you left so suddenly. We didn't think you'd really go to Seoul." Junghee says.

"Well I bet you'll believe what I say from now on." Jungkook says.

"We will." Junghee chuckles.

There's a knock on Jungkook's room door and he stands to get it.

"Where are you? You're staying at a hotel? You know you could've stayed here. Your room is the guest bedroom now but it's still your's." His sister says.

Jungkook opens the door and smiles at Taehyung as he enters. "I already told you I'm here working. The only reason I'm coming is because I'd feel guilty if I didn't at least try to mend my relationship with your parents."

"I think the first step is to stop referring to them as my parents. They're our parents, Kookie." Junghee says.

"Oh my god, don't call me that." Jungkook groans, leading Taehyung to the bed and sitting him down.

"You're coming for dinner, right?" His sister asks.

"Yes. And I'm bringing someone, so tell your mom."

Taehyung gives Jungkook a confused look and the younger mouths 'my mom' to clarify.

"I will. And trust me, they're excited to see you too, even if they don't show it." Junghee says. "They always smile when they see you on tv or on those stupid magazines."

That actually brings a genuine smile to Jungkook's face. "Yeah, I guess I'm excited to see them too."

"See you soon." His sister says before they hang up.

Jungkook sighs, turning to Taehyung. "My family is expecting us now."

"Have you disowned your parents or something?" Taehyung asks.

"No." Jungkook laughs. "It's just a habit, has been since I lived with them."

Taehyung nods, holding his arms out as Jungkook moves closer.

"You okay?" The younger asks. "How are you feeling?"

"I feel fine. Just wondering what Hoseok's going to think when the interview is aired." The pinkette answers honestly.

"Don't worry about that. Don't even think about that jackass." Jungkook says making Taehyung laugh. "He's going to get what's coming for him. I believe in karma, and he's got a lot of bad karma coming his way. I promise."

"What would I do without you, Kook?" Taehyung says, smiling fondly at the younger.

Jungkook smiles back. "You know I was thinking, I don't want to be one of those cringy couples that have a million and one cheesy pet names for each other or anything, but having maybe one or two would be cute."

"You want me to give you a nickname?" Taehyung asks.

"No, not a nickname. A pet name. Like baby or something." Jungkook says, his cheeks flushing a little.
