✒️ Shin-seul is a dear and longtime friend of Jungkook, the idol.
❛ "Wooo. Does that annoys you? Good, so maybe you can channel some of that frustration into the fight... Ko...
Dinner procedes quite well despite a few prickly comments between Shin-seul and Jungkook.
Shin had the chance to know some of the people that are like brothers to his best friend, and she was overjoyed about it. She found herself having lots in common with Namjoon–both stubborn they were. She was also able to witness herself Jimin's sweetness and she managed to enroll Taehyung for her dècor project.
The only downside of the night was the bickering with Jungkook although there had been one moment when she thought Jungkook was asking for a truce. When he gave her one of the only three remaining eggs, and Shin knows how much her friend loves eggs.
Unfortunately that was a one time only because not much later the snorting and biting comments started again.
Later, goodbyes said to the guys, Shin is lost in thoughts between bubbling foam while doing the dishes; it's the least she can do as she can't cook.
"Why don't you put that pan in the dishwasher too?"
Jungkook startles her as she's well working said pan from all the burnt bits.
"It's jam packed already. But it's okay, I think it's better to wash it by hand. I'm just gonna work my arms here for a bit". She replies focused on her handy-work.
Jungkook hums. He opens the fridge and grabs himself a soda to help him digest the crazy amount of food he threw in his stomach.
The initial fizz is heard and then only chugging. Jungkook doesn't seem to leave and instead leans against the kitchen island.
Shin turns his head to eye him. "What?"
"Nothing. Just... I'm sorry about how I behaved tonight". He says, sincerity latched in his words.
Shin sighs. "Mmm... It's fine, I gathered you are under a lot of stress because of the concert. Speaking of which, it was kind of the guys to invite me".
Jungkook clears his throat. "You don't have to come if you don't want to. I know you are not that into music".
"Yeah, true but that doesn't mean I won't enjoy it. I mean, I got you are the best out there! I'm sure I will have fun". Shin answers while rinsing the soap off the pan.
"If you say so then I'm happy you'll come". He bunny smile at her.

Shin's chest flutters in a weird way but she's quick to dismiss it. "Will you manage to get me a staff pass like the guys suggested?"
"I'll try. But I'm confident". He grins before chugging down some more of the soda.
Shin turns off the faucet and dries the counter and her hands with a cloth, then she twists to Jungkook. She has forgiven him for his behavior–it's not that they never argued or what. Furthermore she wasn't in the best mood to begin with.
"About earlier..." she starts playing with the end of her braid.
Jungkook studies her, noticing she's avoiding eye contact and the wavering in her voice.
