Thanks for 5K💕💕

JUNGKOOK;
Ideas for homeco-

My thoughts were interrupted by my phone ringing. I pick it up, not looking at the caller ID.

"Hello, is this Jungkook Jeon?" A familiar voice spoke from the other line.

"Yes, can I ask who this is?" I ask, trying to figure out where I've heard their voice.

"Of course. I don't know if you remember me but this is Ms. Sunia from the animal shelter in town" she informed.

"Oh yes" I smile, remembering Paige and I's first date. "How can I help you?"

"I just wanted to inform you that one of our rescues, Plum, gave birth to a litter of pups and I was wondering if your girlfriend still wanted one?" (Chapter XLIV)

My eyes light up and a grin breaks onto my face, I got it.

PAIGE;
It was now the next day, which meant today is the last meet of the season. The last meet that determines if our school is going to state or not.

The pressure was on for all of us runners, but mainly me the most because my day was already going to shit.

I couldn't sleep last night, I misplaced my running shoes, my jersey wasn't dry and I got a bad cramp this morning.

But all that didn't matter because my hopes were still high, I just needed to see Jungkook.

He made everything better.

I lay my head on the window as I listen to my favorite playlist that helped me calm down.

I bite my bottom lip nervously as the bus pulls to a stop in front of a big green field that had other teams littered across of it.

I gulp and straighten up in my seat once Coach stands up in the front of the isle.

"Now, today is the day where you guys prove yourselves worthy of going to state. I believe in each and every one of you, but today you have to prove it to everyone else"

Everyone agreed by nodding. Xavier slung his arm over my shoulders and shook me with him as I smiled.

"So let's get out there and show them what Silverton is made of!" Coach ended as everyone cheered and scrambled off the bus.

<Jeongguk💕: I'm not sure if I can make it to your meet today]

I sighed and locked my phone before throwing it into my duffle. My shoulders slumped as I blinked the tears that were threatening to fall away.

My fingers immediately went to touch the necklace Jungkook gave me, as if were going to help me, which it did.

Only a bit.

'It's okay, it's okay' I reminded myself as I controlled my breathing.

"Ready?" My mom spoke up from behind me. It was her idea to put my hair into a traditional bun, (Tsiiyéél).

I stood up and sat on the floor, my back facing her.

"What's wrong hun?" Mom asked as she began to brush out my hair.

I sighed, "Jungkook can't make it"

My mom sighed as well, "I'm sure he wished he could come and support you. Try not to let it get to you. This is a big day for you and your teammates, don't let it go to waste"

She took my silence as an answer as she began to do her magic.

Not soon later she finished. My mother had a way of getting a tsiiyéél done faster than anyone else, even her own mom.
