Jungkook eagerly sat down and stared at his father.

"Okay, so it's already hard to send something to someone from North Korea, but it is possible. Well, to anyone other than us South Koreans, as postal service does not exist between us. For anyone else, you need to have the address for the person you are intending to reach, then send it via DHL, one of the few companies that ship to North Korea. Though, there are restrictions to the things you can send, and devices are one of the hardest things to send." His father explained.

"Oh, so how can South Koreans actually send stuff there?" He asked.

"There are two ways, we can either contact someone outside the country so they can send it on behalf of us and we pay them for it afterwards, or we choose the less safer way which is to send the package using VPN, and to be safer we can change our credit card informations too, just in case." His father explained.

"Oh, is this a common thing to do?" He asked.

"Well, the most important thing is to have an actual address to be able to send something, which is not easily reachable." He further said.

Jungkook felt frustrated, how was he supposed to find Taehyung's address or the person that contacted his father FOUR YEARS AGO, that was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

He slowly nodded his head, "Thanks dad, I'll go to bed now." He finally said.

"Alright, but why did you ask me that though?" His father asked suspiciously.

"Oh nothing, I just wanted to know how did you reach Yeri, we had a conversation on the trip and I was curious." He half lied, how was he supposed to tell him he was looking for a boy he saw in his dreams? It sounds ridiculous to say out loud.

His father nodded, even though he didn't really buy it he just simply relpied with a 'good night.'

Jungkook made his way to his bed and burried his face in the pillow, he felt absolutely helpless, as he was about to fall asleep he heard a 'ding' coming from his phone.

He reached for his phone and saw that he received a text.

From an unknown number:

Hello Jungkookie! It's me Jihyo, how are you? I hope you had a good day today, I was wondering if you were free and wanted to hangout tomorrow? :)

He stared at the message for a few seconds then thought it was actually a good idea, at least he will forget about all of these events that have taken place for the past week.

To Jihyo:

Hi Jihyo, I'm fine thanks, and yes I'm free tomorrow, where do you want to meet?

After a few seconds an immediate response was sent.

From Jihyo:

Great! Meet me at the café at 8am! Let's have breakfast together then go somewhere else!

To Jihyo:

Alright, I'll be there. Good night for now!

From Jihyo:

Good night :) <3

He saw the message and closed his phone drifting to sleep.

The sun soon raised up announcing the beginning of a new day,

At 7:35 Jungkook heard his phone ringing, he groaned and pressed the phone to his ear without checking who was calling him.

"Jungkookie good morning! Are you on your way here?" Jihyo said excitement graced in her tone.
