a week passed since i moved to busan. not a day passed without jungkook calling me. he's been telling me how they have a short break now. so lucky..
"yeah, exactly." he paused for a second. "hey... when are you starting school again..?"
"well.. i'll be starting school in two days.." i sighed and pouted, "i don't wanna go.."
"i would hug you, but you're far away.."
i suddenly thought of something.
"hey.. why don't we video call? that way i can see your face and not miss you that much."
there was silence. a hesitant one.
"uhm.. sure, of course!"
i clicked on the option to video chat and waited for him to accept it too. when he did, i instantly smiled. i missed his smile. as cliché as it sounds.. it makes me happy when he is happy.
"you know.. i miss you a lot," he pouted.
"i know. i miss you a lot too," i smiled.
my eyes drifted off from his face and landed upon the shelf behind him. it was filled with different plushies that i hadn't seen when i visited his house. well, then again i didn't see all of the house. just his room, the kitchen and the living room.
"what's on your mind?" that question took me out of my thoughts.
"are those plushies new..?" i asked out of curiosity.
i saw his eyes widen. he slowly turned to look around to the shelf i was pointing at through my phone screen. he quickly turned his head around to face me again. he started giggling nervously.
"well.. actually.. i'm not in my house!" he smiled. "i'm at my cousin's! little cousin."
"oh.. why aren't you spending time with your little cousin, then?" i raised am eyebrow and smiled sideways, knowing how bad of a liar he is.
"u-uhm.. h-he was downstairs! plus, i want to speak with you, not spend time with my cousin!" he frowned and crossed his arms across his chest.
"jungkook.." i shook my head. for some reason, i couldn't stop smiling.
"jungkook? what happened to you calling me kookie?"
i blushed. right.. how could i forget about that..
"what's wrong with spending time with your little cousin?"
"everything!" he looked away.
"hmm.. sure."
he changed the subject.
"anyways, i'll also be back to school on monday, so yeah. we'll suffer together."
"together?" i got confused.
"e-eh i mean that we'll both be suffering. far away from each other," he corrected himself. in a strange way, i must say.
"oh yeah, of course." i just decided to ignore his horrible acting and force myself to believe him. it's not like my parents will allow me to move there in two days. who am i kidding? that will never happen..
we then spent a whole of two hours talking. i didn't even realise it had been that long until my mom walked in my room.
"i've been calling you from downstairs for years now! dinner is- oh who is it that you're talking to?" she walked closer.
"jungkook!" i turned my phone so that she could see.
her face lit up. "oh.. jungkook! hello!" she waved.
