Silence>JJK (paused)

7

So he understood everyone from the beginning but for a reason he couldn't talk.

Isn't that creepy?

He has been knowing everything yet he chose to be silent. But,

He is a seventeen year old boy for screaming out loud. Ofcourse, he is not comfortable with the new environment.

Earlier

"So, what is your name?" I asked, curiousity killing me inside.

He took the pen and started to write in the notepad I gave him not too long ago.

Jeon Jungkook, huh?

"Can I call you....Jungkook?" I asked him hesitating a bit.

He nodded. Smiling a bit at me.

The first time I saw him smile. He is so cute.

"So, Jungkook. Why didn't you talked during the interrogation?" I asked hesitantly, again. Doubt lurking in my mind.

He suddenly looked sullen.

Does he feels uncomfortable with me? Or is he scared? Should I ask?

"Are you scared of me?" I asked him leaning a bit.

I don't know what happened to you, but I want to help you. But you need to cooperate with me. Without your help I can't depend on the crime investigation alone.

He looked away. I should definitely give him space. He needs to be comfortable with me first.

"I get it," he looked at me in confusion plastered over his features. I continued while I stood up from the chair, "I think you need time and space. Why don't you roam around the house with me then? I will show you all the rooms and you van choose your room!" I said excitingly.

Well, well, I guess I am more excited to show him my house more than myself.

On another thought, I, myself, haven't seen the place that well.

He happily nodded. He took the pen and paper I gave him for sudden communication. I happily went to the main enterance. And he stood there confused.

"For better experience please get out." I said. He was dumbfounded until I opened the door and gestured him to step out. He confusedly stepped out and I welcomed him back.

"Good evening! I am Bae Jieon. 20 years old. I am a songwriter, composer and a singer. I live in this house alone and in the studio. Welcome to my house of dreams!" I said excitingly. Never have I ever felt this excitement in 19 years of my life. Yes, 19.

I turned 20 in January.

He came in, feeling flustered a bit. I myself know how foolish I look right now.

But, this is my only way to get closer with him. I might risk my personality and pride, but this boy is my duty.

And he sure is, hiding something.

"This is the tv room. This is the kitchen and this is the dining room. This is the store room." I told him as we passed each room of the house.

When we were upstairs, I was showing him other rooms. But when we entered my room, he stopped at a corner looking at a certain photo. I noticed it and went to him.

"This...are my parents and us, siblings," I told him as he inspected the photo. "He is my brother. He lives in Russia." I told him pointing towards the particular high school uniformed guy.

He looked at me. I looked at him too. I grew confused. He then took his pen and paper. And started to write something. His writing is swift and unique. He showed me the paper.

"Where are your parents?" it read. I looked at the paper again. Taking the words in. Understanding the sentence, I decided to answer him. As calm as I was.

"Both of my parents died in a car accident when I was young." I said glancing at the photograph.

"Are you hungry?" I asked him and he nodded aggressively. Twinkling his eyes.

I smiled at his words, "I have an idea." I said. Earning his distracted attention.

'What?' He wrote. I smiled again at him.

It has been two hours we were walking together. Me at the right side of the mall, Jungkook beside me. Admiring the scene.

Apparently we decided to shop for necessary items for Jungkook. Even though he was a bit shy he wrote me a message on his paper saying that he doesn't needs it and I don't have to waste my money on him.

Ofcourse, me being me, I took him forcibly to the mall. We can eat and shop for his and my stuff.

I told him to choose his things but he stood like a fool while I was buying mine. Wasting half of the time, he stared at the poster of Iron man. I sighed in defeat and decided to choose him his garments.

"Do you like this?" I asked him as I went through the load of clothings.

He simply nodded, shyly. I chuckled at his reaction. I was finally having fun.

We bought couple of shirts, some t-shirts, pants, socks, sheets, flask, other necessities. He seemed to flush like a tomato while I bought some undergarments. It made me awkward but what has to be done, needs to be done.

After paying for the items, I walked out of the store, Jungkook following me behind.

Suddenly he tugged my shirt. I faced behind him to see him standing with his note saying, 'Thank you~'.

It made me feel like a responsible elder sister, for the first time.
