Has been on the draf...
Right after an hour at the street market, the three of them stop for a while at the nearest petrol pump station as Jisoo needs to go to the toilet. Seokjin waits in the car with Chaeyoung who is looking tired of walking with the couple that night. She lazily scrolls through her Instagram to see photos of the people she follows in the app.
Seokjin, on the other hand, gets bored as he keeps turning the radio from one channel to another until he hears something interesting. He listens to the live commentary of a match that is taking place at that time. A football match to be precise.
"Jimin looks up and finds Jungkook at the left of the box. Here it is, he's going to score for sure! Jimin passed the ball to him and......GOAL!!! That's the striker of Seoul FC marking his third hat trick this season!"
Seokjin's eyes widen as he realizes whose name is mentioned by the commentator. He turns around and looks at Chaeyoung to get her attention. He also turns up the volume a bit in which interrupting Chaeyoung.
"Jin oppa, what's up with the radio?", she asks him as she looks at him with confusion.
"You hear that? Jungkook, that name.", he says as he points to the radio.
"Jeon Jungkook, this guy is doing real great! The season has got half of the way to the end and he already scored this much..."
Chaeyoung slowly nods as she listens to the radio before she asks Seokjin why he turned up the radio volume. He slows it down back before asking her if she does not remember where she has heard the name from. Hearing that question, Chaeyoung tries to recall if she has heard it before.
"Maybe...I heard it on the news.", she guesses lazily.
Seokjin shakes his head. He tells her that she did not hear the name from the news. Even if she heard it from there, she will not remember it. So, she tries to think of other sources where she could have heard the name Jeon Jungkook from.
Just after a few seconds, she sighs and pushes the driver seat where Seokjin is sitting at.
"Oppa, I don't know where I heard it. Can you just tell me instead?", she asks as she gets annoyed to be wondering of the name of someone she does not even know of.
"Yah, you don't remember? Did I tell you or...never mind. You've heard his name from me before this, Chae. Remember the time you were in the hospital?", he asks her.
Chaeyoung recalls the day she was admitted to the hospital which was five days ago. After a deep thinking, she remembers it. Seokjin told her that a man brought her there and mentioned that the man was not an ordinary guy. He is a football player, a popular one too. Jeon Jungkook is his name.
"You remember now?", Seokjin asks when Jisoo comes back and enters the passenger seat beside him.
"So, the Jeon Jungkook is this Jeon Jungkook who's playing in the match now? Same person?", Chaeyoung asks but she sounds like she is not interested very much in the conversation. She just tries to not be rude as a younger person. Especially when Seokjin has paid for the foods she bought at the street market earlier.
However, Seokjin has a hunch of how uninterested she sounded like so he asks if she does not want to know about Jungkook at all. Chaeyoung titters as she feels like she just got caught by him. She nervously leans on the comforting leather backseat before Jisoo intervenes their conversation telling Seokjin to start driving home.
As the car started to continue moving, Chaeyoung chuckles at how Seokjin is bickering with Jisoo at the front seats. Jisoo scolds him for mentioning Jungkook to Chaeyoung again. Chaeyoung knows Jisoo does not want her to remember those things that had happened that day.
But, the name Jeon Jungkook really gets stuck in Chaeyoung's head. That night after she had dinner with the couple, she goes to her room as soon as she can after she heard a voice in her head asking who Jeon Jungkook is. She knows whose voice that is and she has to stop it before it dares to come out.
In order to make sure that the voice stays only inside her head, she does what she always do to control herself. She opens the window on the ceiling and lies down on her bed watching the night sky full of stars. That routine actually helps her for the past few weeks.
"Jeon Jungkook...", her mouth suddenly said the name out of nowhere. And with that, she takes her phone and types the name on the search engine.
In few seconds, the results of the name she typed in appeared on the screen. His profile is the first thing shown before it is followed by many articles of the match he just had. All of the articles praised him for his hat trick that he did that night.
However, none of the articles gets Chaeyoung's attention. She scrolls up back and clicks on his profile. She reads what is written about him in the profile until she gets to the part where she feels cringeworthy to watch.
After all the parts of his favourite things, she gets to the additional information of Jeon Jungkook. The way he celebrates his success in scoring a goal:

Some photos and GIFs are shown with Jungkook looking at the camera before he stands in front of it while aiming to shoot and then...he winks!
Chaeyoung quickly closes the profile after she watched the GIF playing on repeat. Then, she puts her phone away and looks at it from far as she pulls her blanket up to her neck. She feels weird of the way he celebrates his goal.
"Did he think he's an idol? That wink...is so wrong.", she says as the GIF keeps flashing in her mind. "If it really him that helped me that night, I hope I never run into him again. Lord, please make him far away from me.", she adds as she remembers the man that helped her that night who Seokjin said is Jungkook is the same person that celebrates his goal with a wink on the camera.
