Tongue-tied | Soonhoon

"Jihoon?"

Jihoon took a few moments for the voice to register in his mind, he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, this wasn't Soonyoung's sweet and gentle voice, that voice that's makes you melt with just a word he says, heck that didn't even came from the phone at all. It took Jihoon 5 seconds before he even realizes that the phone call ended yet he was still called by that female voice-

"Ahhhhh!" Jihoon shouted out of fear, Jihoon's mother's face was literally in front of him causing the latter to let out a high pitched scream.

"Hey Jihoon honey it's just me, your mom. Remember me? I used to take care of you? Honey please don't say you don't remember me? Jihoo-"

"Ha ha very funny mom." Jihoon laughed humorless "Why didn't tell me you'd be home? Uh you and Dad?" Jihoon asked as he glanced at his blank phone and then back at his mother's eyes.

"Well me and your wanted to surprise you at dinner time but our flight got delayed for 3 hours, so we waited until eventually we got home- a little late to be exact." Mrs. Lee saidas she kissed Jihoon's cheeks.

"Yeah okay, and where's dad?" Jihoon asked

"Unfortunately he had to run some errands when we arrived at the airport, he's booking a hotel because he's meeting with his business partners here tomorrow."

"But why couldn't he stay here? With us?"

"It's because the hotel is closer to their meeting place for tomorrow."

Jihoon sighed, when will they ever be a complete family for just a day? They're back from their business trip but his dad still has work to take care, Yoongi is a trainee from a very small company and couldn't go home not when it's a holiday. But at least Mrs. Lee is here for Jihoon.

"Alright little pumpkin, why are you up this late huh? I wasn't gonna barge into your room but I heard you calling someone on the phone, who was it?"

"It's just my classmate mom, we uh are paired up in a project and we wanted to discuss it-"

"At three in the morning?" Mrs. Lee raised an eyebrow.

"Y-Yes." Jihoon stuttered

"Uh huh, sure baby." Mrs. Lee said as she kissed Jihoon's temples. "Time to sleep now little pimpkin, I'm sure you still have school tomorrow."

Jihoon could only sigh.

"Night mom."

"Night my baby pumpkin."

"Don't call me that!"

"What my little pumpkin?"

"Just- ughhhh just please get out." Jihoon groaned in frustation.

Mrs. Lee chuckled

"Alright honey, I'll see you tomorrow- I mean later."

"Okay now go away mom."

With that, Jihoon went back to his bed after he closed his desktop. He's now staring at a blank ceiling thinking of a way to get to Soonyoung without gradually embarassing himself. God he even called him a faker, how is he suppose to face Soonyoung tomorrow?

Maybe I'll just avoid him? Ignore him so that I won't make a fool of myself

Oh no shit, Soonha might kill you if you won't
