BARE SOULS

GOODBYE FOR NOW

* Jk's phone rings*
V: Aren't you coming back today? Where are you?
Jk: I'm with Yn. I'll be back in few hours.

V: Don't get yourself in trouble now. Come back soon, I can't cover up for long.

Jimin: Is that JUngkook? *in the background* Tell him about the lunch tomorrow and tell him to inform Yn.

V: Ah baja! We are going for lunch tomorrow. Only us, Yn, Dara and Aria. Inform them as well and ask them if it's okay.

Jk: Lunch? *looks at Yn* Okay I'll tell them. But why all of a sudden, aren't we leaving tomorrow evening?

V: You weren't satisfied today and we don't know when we'll get to meet again. So we thought of it

Jk: *listens* Aaarasso. *cuts the call*

Yn: What is it?
Jk: Is it okay if we go out on lunch tomorrow? Us, you, Aria and Dara.
Yn: That won't be a problem. *smiles* Let's go, I'll drop you at your hotel and leave for home.
Jk: Alone? That far? No!
Yn: Do you have any other option Jungkook? *pauses looking for his reaction* let's go.
*They are in the car while Yn is driving.*
Jk: Yn? Can you- like by any chance come to Korea some time?
Yn: I would be glad to but I don't know when that would happen, with the cafe and Aria.
Jk: Don't mind me asking this okay?
Yn: Hmmm? Go ahead.

Jk: How's your financial stability?

Yn: *chuckles* Well, I'm not in rags as you see. *laughs* It's pretty stable, enough for us (Yn and Aria) to live peacefully and also save for Aria.
Jk: What about the house that you are living in. I mean it's huge, and it might be pretty expensive to rent on.
Yn: *nods* That's why rather than renting it, me and Dara bought it. Over installments. It's fine right now. Why do you ask?
Jk: Nothing. Just wanted to know. And make sure that everything is alright.
Yn: *chuckles* Even if it wasn't stable, I wouldn't take your help that easily.
Jk: *sighs* I know. I could only do tiny favors maybe? *flashes his nervous smile raising his brows*
Yn: haha, don't worry Jungkook. I'm not going to hide anything from you. There are a few ways of acceptable favors. *smiles* but there is nothing to worry about right now.
JK: *smiles* Remember then, no hiding.
Yn: YES SIR!
*They reach and Jk waves her a good bye, goes inside the lobby once she leaves*

Yn reaches home and takes Aria to her room and now she's lying in her bed. She picks up her phone*
Jk: Did you reach?
Yn: Yes bunny!
Jk: Hehe, goodnight love! 💛 See you tomorrow.
Yn: Wait
Yn: Give me Taehyung's number.
Jk: Why?👀
Jk: Yn taehyung might be your bias but don't forget I'm your boyfriend now! 😠😤
Yn: Not my problem. Who knows you'll go airplane mode again. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️
Jk: Heyyy, I won't okay?
Yn: Just give me any other members' number Jungkook. Just for emergency.
Jk: Okay.
Yn: But inform them first.
Jk: I told V hyung. Here's his number. Don't talk too much.
Yn: 😂
Yn: Why are you so adorable.
Yn: I won't talk at all. Satisfied?
Yn: Only when it's important.
Jk: Good☺️
Yn: Alright, goodnight now!
Jk: Night Yn
Yn: 💛
Jk: Yn!
Jk: Yn?
Jk: Hello?
Jk: Can you hear me? (Singing Adele's song)
Yn: I'm here. What is it?
Jk: Good night kisses to Aria from me☺️
Yn: Haha, okay. I'll convey them.
Yn: Bye kook!
Jk: Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
*The next morning, on msg*
Yn: Hey Taehyung, It's me Yn. Please don't mind. I need a favour.
V: Good morning Yn.
V: No no
V: Tell me what it is.
Yn: Can you send me a picture of what Jungkook's wearing today?
V: Okay wait. I'll click one after he gets dressed up.
Yn: Thank you so much.
V: Are you going to match?
Yn: Haha, No.
Yn: I mean, I want to match Aria's.
V: Awwwww. That'll be so cute.
Yn: Keep this a secret.
V: Sealed.
Yn:okay then. See you in the afternoon.
V: Ye!
*Later V sneaks into Jk's room. Looks that he's sitting in front of the computer searching something*
V: *looking onto the screen* Why didn't you get ready yet? What are you doing?
Jk: searching
V: What?
Jk: If my cologne and perfumes are baby friendly.
V: *smiles* Waaah! *moved* Let me see to.
Jk: *pouts* Aaah! None of them are. I'll go ask Hobi hyung, he might have something.
V: Jin hyung has this. *pointing to the screen that had a list of suitable items*
Jk: Okay.
*Goes to Jin's room*
Jk: Hyung! Can you give me that rose perfume of yours.
Jin: Take it. But you don't use things like that? *confused*
Jk: This is the only baby friendly perfume that's with any of us at the moment.
Jin: *chuckles* Aaahhh! Okay.
* Jungkook goes to each and every room and tells them to use only that particular cologne for the day, making all of them go emo for him. It's lunch time and now Yn, Dara and Aria are yet to arrive.*
RM: Till where did they reach?
Jk: She said 5 min.
Yn: *opens the door of the chamber and peeks*
Jin: Ah finally!
Yn: *still peeking* *chuckles* Sorry, we are three ladies and it takes time for us to get dressed up.
*BTS chuckles*
Jungkook: *gets up from his seat* Come in? Why are you hiding?
Yn: *awkward chuckle* Oh that. I'm not used to this. *takes a step inside scratching the back of her neck.*
*Literally everybody's jaw drops down looking at her. And imagine Jk's reaction. She dressed up wearing a cute one piece and sneakers. The dress was an off shoulder and adding to that Miss. Yn tied her hair up, making it harder for Jungkook.*
V: Just marry me Yn!
Yn: *chuckles* *covers her mouth from the side* Maybe try some other time.
Jk: Yaaah! I'm right here! *walking towards her* W-wow. You look amazing. *snaps back, bringing his wandering eyes back to place* W-where's Aria?
Yn: Surprise.
Jk: Wait! How?
* Just as she said Yn matched Aria's outfit with Jungkook. From top to bottom. *
Hobi: Waaaaaah! Look at her. That's so cute Yn.
V: Oh my god! I could eat her right away.
Jin: I mean, her height is not even till Jungkook's knee. *laughing* she's like a minion
Jk: *sits on his knee giving her his best smile* Well look at you little girl. We're matchiiiiiinnnngghhh!
A: *pouts* No.
Jk: Why baby?
A: I don't have these. *points at his hands*
Jk: *laughs* Come. I'll draw them for you. *lifts her up*
A: Really? Is it okay mommy?
Jk: We'll just ignore her today. *chuckles*
Yn: Do you both want to get beaten up?
A: Nooo! I didn't ask for them.
Jk: Waaah! The betrayal.
Yn: You are a good girl Aria. Okay only kookie will get beaten up then.
A: *putting her hands around his neck* Nooo. *pouts* Please mommy, kookie is my best friend.
*Everybody in the room goes awwwwww*
Yn: *chuckles* Alright then. Aria saved you Jungkook.
Jk: Thank you so much best friend. *snuggles into her cheek making her laugh*
*Dara arrives after parking the car. They take a seat and Aria goes back to Yn's lap. But sat facing Jungkook that's beside her and kept playing with him. The food arrives.*
Jimin: You all look so adorable today.
D: *smiles* Thank you.
Jk: Aren't you dating anyone Dara?
D: Mike's my boyfriend. I'm surprised you don't know.
BTS: What? Really?
D: *chuckles* Yes
Yn: Can I get the menu?
Jk: *handing her* Here you go.
Yn: *going through it* *sighs*
Jk: What's wrong?
Yn: Nothing, I'm searching something for Aria. This is all too spicy for her.
Jimin: Oh sorry Yn.
Yn: Don't worry. *smiles* I came prepared anyway. *looks at Jungkook* Can you hand me my bag?
Jk: That's too much to shift in this crowd, tell me what you want.
Yn: Her sipper.
Jk: Which one? Milk or water?
Yn: Milk.
*BTS just looked at them adorably.*
Jk: Aaahhh! Here you go. *hands it to Aria*
A: *holding it with her tiny hands* Thanks.
Yn: *shook* What?
Suga: What happened?
Yn: She just started talking a month ago. Where is she learning from. This is the first time I heard this.
V: Awwwwww.
Jk: But I heard it Yn. Earlier yesterday, she said that. I guess I'm the first one then. *smirks*
Yn: *pouts* Lucky youuuuu!
RM: You guys don't seem like you just started dating at all.
Hobi: I know right. It felt like you are together for years.
Jimin: Jimin agrees too!
Yn: *chuckles*
A: *all of a sudden* Ji-min.
Yn: *shook again* What Aria?
A: *looks at her* Jimin.
Jimin: *makes and O with his mouth*
Yn: *chuckles* You know who's Jimin?
A: *points to Jimin* Jimin is cute.
*Everybody hypes that up and laughs*
Yn: *laughs* Oh my god. What? What's gotten into you.
Jimin: *laughing as his eyes close* Wow, She's hitting on me now?
Yn: *laughs* Good taste Aria.
Jk: Heyyyy! *offended*
Yn: What? *laughs looking at him*
*Jungkook looking into Yn's bag for Aria's tissues. Aria stays quiet for a while drinking from her sipper looking at everybody that's in the room*
Jk: Yn what's this? *talking in pout* *takes out a box along with Yn's book*
Yn: *chewing* Ah right. I made something for all of you. These are charms you can hang them anywhere, to your bags or phone cases .... *opens the box*
V: Wow, thanks Yn. These are so adorable.
H: *chuckles* These are like chibi faces of us.
Yn: Yes.
Jin: *laughing* Don't you find Jungkook's chibi similar to Aria, right now? Those doe eyes and all?
Jimin: Waah! Daebak! You are right hyung!
Jungkook: *smiles*
RM: Are you reading that Yn? I wanted to read it but didn't order yet. *pointing to the book that came out with the box*
Yn: I read it already. You can take it if you want. I have one more in the cafe.
RM: Really? Will that be okay? How is it?
Yn: *smiles* I'm satisfied.
Yn: *nods and smiles*
RM: *dimple smile* Thanks Yn. My flight is going to be awesome now. *checking out the book* Oh, it has the authors sign on it.
Yn: *smiles* Yes.
RM: Is it okay?
Yn: It's fine. I told you I have one more. It's signed too.
RM: Okay then! *happy*
S: Isn't this book going to be a K-drama?
RM: Really?
S: *nods* They signed it recently.
Jimin: *chuckles* Suga hyung and his random knowledge.
*They continue with their lunch, talking about various things.*
Jk: Can I take her?
Yn: *chuckles* Sure. Aria you want to go to kookie?
A: Yes. *sits in his lap and starts playing with his hand with her tiny fingers*
V: I don't think you need anything else to keep her occupied. Your tattoos are enough.
Jk: *chuckles* *looks at Aria who's seriously concentrating on his tattoos, all quiet with a tiny pout on her lips* *sighs* I'm going to miss her.
Yn: *smiles and slightly holds his other hand under the table*
Jk: *intervenes his fingers*
A: *observes that and tries to intervene her fingers with Jungkook's other hand*
Jk: *chuckles* What is it Aria?
A: I want - hold- fin-fingers, like mommy.
Yn: *shook*
*Everybody laughs*
V: Okay little one. Come here. And let them do whatever they want under the table. *taking Aria to him, from across the table*
Jk: *wide eyes* Hyyuuuuungggg!
V: *boxy smile*
Yn: *blushes*
*The lunch was fine, Yn was getting used to being around people again. Jungkook took a lot of pictures with Aria and their matching outfits. Yn gradually got duller as the day passed. It's because she got a hold of everything being so good and all of a sudden, the main reason behind all this, is leaving. Although she told herself she won't be too dependent and attached to Jungkook, she just couldn't help it. Happiness is addictive and no one wants to loose it, especially when you get it after a long long time. Jungkook observes Yn's behaviour, of course he felt sad too, because now it's not just Yn, it's Yn and Aria that he's going to miss being around.*
Jk: *looking at Yn, who's playing with the dessert that's on her plate* Do you not like it?
Yn: *snapping out of her thoughts* O-oh! No, no. It's tastes good. It's just that I'm already full.
Jk: *smiles and nods* I get it Yn. *holds her hand*
Yn: *trying to divert herself* I like the ambiance of this restaurant. They smell like roses.
Jin: It's not the restaurant Yn. It's us. All of us wore the same perfume. *chuckles*
Yn: O-oh, is it what you always do?
S: No, we didn't have any baby friendly colognes, so Jungkook rubbed this one onto us.
Yn: Y-you did that? Jungkook- I- , wow!
Jk: *smiles scratching the back of his neck*
RM: Alright, we have to leave now. Our flight is in 3 hrs.
*Everybody starts getting up and gathering their stuff*
D: So you'll leave to the airport now?
J: Yes. Nice meeting and working with you. *shoulder hug*
*They all exchange their good byes. Yn goes to the table to get her bag, while all of them leave, leaving Jk and Yn alone.*
Jk: *walks to Yn* I don't have any picture with you.
Yn: *turns back and smiles* Take one then!
*He holds up his phone, moving closer towards her, placing his chin on the crook of her neck, and one hand on her waist, while Yn held his hand with hers'. Jungkook's bambi eyes and wide bunny smile were on full display.*
Jk: *looking at the picture* Wow! This is definitely wallpaper worthy!
Yn: *chuckles* So cheesy. Let's go!
Jk: *raising his brows* Yn, they left us alone for a reason. *he hugs her tight*
Yn: *dropping the bag on the chair, hugs him back* Why do you have to leave so soon?
Jk: I know right. I wish I have secret passage to your place. *chuckles, tightening the hug*
Yn: Are you trying to kill me before you leave?
Jk: *chuckles* Complain all you want. I'm not letting go.
Yn: *tearing up* I-I'll miss you bunny. *weak and calm tone*
Jk: *still hugging* I'm warning you Yn, push those tears away before I see them and start crying too.
Yn: *chuckles* I have something for you.
Jk: *loosens the hug* What is it?
Yn: Finally I can breathe. *teasing him*
Jk: Ynnnn! *pouts*
Yn: *laughs* It might be old fashioned but I like doing things like this. *pulls out a sweater with his initials on it in the corner* Handmade by me.
Jk: I love this. When did you make this?
Yn: Yesterday. *smiles*
Jk: *putting it in his bag* At least I have something to cling on to, when I miss you.
Yn: *smiles* Should we go now? They might be waiting for you.
Jk: Yes, but after this. *pulls in for a kiss*
*Outside, near BTS' van. BTS are busy teaching Aria to call them 'samchu' and desperate to get their names into her head. Yn laughs at the scene.*
Yn: *taking Aria from Jimin*
J: Heyy! Don't take my girlfriend away from me.
Yn: Now, when did this happen? She just knew your name a while ago?
J: *laughs*
Suga: Let's go guys. Manager is calling already.
Yn: *smiles* Safe flight guys. I hope and wish to see you all soon.
BTS: Bye Yn, bye dara. Bye Arriiiiii!
A: *waves her tiny hand*
Jk: *stands in front of Aria* Bye Aria. *pecks her cheek*
A: *grips on to his coat, tries to move forward and pecks his cheek back*
Jin: Waah, thats was touching. *from inside the van*
V: I'm jealous. *sulks*
H: Oh my god, I'm tearing up again!
Jk: *giggles tearing up* *looking at Yn* I'll be back soon Yn. *kisses her forehead and leaves before letting his tears fall*
Yn: *smiles*
*The van starts moving as the three of them waved goodbye standing there, it suddenly stops at the entrance. Jungkook gets down and runs back to Yn.*
Yn: *confused* What happened?
*Taking his ring out from his finger, takes her hand and inserts the ring onto her thumb.*
Jk: Ah, thank god, it fit perfectly. I was concerned it might even fall from your thumb. *hugs Yn who's holding Aria* *runs back to the van*
D: That was cute.
Yn: *chuckles*
A: *suddenly sad and hugs Yn's neck*
Yn: *walking back to her car* What is it baby?
A: *doesn't respond*
Yn: *on their way back home* It feels like I just got a trail pack.
D: *chuckles* I understand Yn.
Yn: No seriously, how do you even manage? I feel guilty for keeping you away from Mike, I kept you for myself all this time.
D: It's my choice Yn. I'm not forced.
Yn: *sighs* I feel like I should apologise to him.
D: *laughs* No you need not.
*Meanwhile in BTS' van. Jungkook starts crying again*
Jimin: Yaah, stop it now. *calming him*
Jin: *chuckles* Two days ago, he was crying that he got rejected and now he is crying because he misses his girlfriend. Jungkook ah, that's definitely an upgrade.
Jk: *chuckles while crying* I'm fine. I just want to let it out.
V: *smiles* Aayeeee. I miss Aria. I just love her.
Jimin: I know right. Jin hyung always gets rejected by Aria. *laughs*
Jin: You guys will see it someday. I just didn't put my World wide handsome face to work.
S: Yeah right hyung.
*Jk receives a message*
Yn: You better stop crying
*Jk chuckles checking his msg, while BTS started teasing him again as he got shy*
Jk: I'm not
Yn: Okay then bye
Jk: Yaaah! Yn🥺
Yn: 😂
Jk: Are you home?
Yn: Yes. We reached a few minutes ago.
Jk: What's Aria doing?
Yn: Wow, now I feel ignored 😒
Jk: Awww
Jk: Now tell me what's Aria doing?
Yn: 🙄
Yn: She fell asleep
Yn: She seemed sad 😕
Jk: How I wish I could just run back, RIGHT NOW. 🥺
Yn: Hmmm
Yn: 🙁
Jk: We reached Yn, I'll text you later
Yn: Okay
Jk: 😘 (after 30 secs being left on read)
Jk: return it back 😠
Yn: 😒 NO.
Jk: I
Jk: AM
Jk: MAD
Jk: NOW
Yn: Weren't you supposed to check in now?
Jk: This is not over young lady. I'll get back to you.
Yn: Okay 🤷🏻‍♀️
Jk: YNNNNN!!!
Yn: Gotta go, bye.
Jk: YNNN!
*Blushes and smiles looking at the mobile screen, while Jin stared at him like a suspicious parent*
Jk: What?
Jin: *talks in pout* What?
Jk: Why are you staring like that? *also talking in pout*
Jin: *laughs* Just to irritate you.
Jk: *ignores and walks away*
Jin: YAAAAHHHH!

* Setting the alarm, Yn places her phone aside and lays down on the bed beside Aria. She turns towards Aria, using her arm as a pillow looks at Aria that's sleeping peacefully.*
Yn: I'm happy B. And I hope you are too.
*Aria turns to Yn and snuggles closer*
Yn: *chuckles* *places her hand on Aria's back and rests for a while*
*Wakes up hearing the phone ringing. Surprised looking at Jungkook's name while she just thought that it was the alarm. Picks up the call and heads down stairs.*
*on call* *the whole conversation was calm, Jungkook and Yn kept smiling to themselves. And you can imagine how sweet and deep Jungkook's voice is*
Yn: *sleepy voice* Hello
Jk: Were you sleeping?
Yn: Hmm, I just wanted to take a nap while Aria's sleeping. It's okay, I was about to get up anyway.
Jk: What are you going to do later?
Yn: I'll be heading to the cafe. It was closed for 2 days straight now.
Jk: Aaaah, what about the dance studio?
Yn: Dara is going to go there. It involves a lot of people so I only go when I have to. *chuckles* Or when we decide to choreograph something.
Jk: Hmmm
Yn: *chuckles* Did you call to talk about all this?
Jk: No, I just wanted to talk, whatever it might be. *calm*
Yn: Stop being so adorable. When is the take off? *looks at the ring on her thumb and caresses it*
Jk: Anytime now. I can only contact you after I get home.
Yn: I know that Jungkook. *chuckles*
Jk: I know that you know Yn. I'm just saying that, I miss you, indirectly.
Yn: *chuckles* Haha, I'm sorry Jungkook. I'm so bad at this. *sighs*
Jk: Isn't it hard to call me Juuungkooook. *stretching his name*
Yn: Not really.
Jk: Okay, I'll wait till you take the hint.
Yn: *laughs* Okay, I'll think of a nickname.
Jk: Don't use your brain too much and come up with something like B. *chuckles teasing her*
Yn: *whining* Heyyyyyy! B is CUTE!! You are just jealous that you don't have one.
Jk: No, I'm not. *changes his tone, as if he's triggered*
Yn: *laughs* How about oppa? *bursts out laughing*
Jk: NO! A BIG NO!
Yn: *laughs* Okay. Oppa it is then.
Jk: Ynnnnnnnnnn! *whines*
Yn: *laughs* Many people address you as bunny, kookie and kook. I have seen it among armys. I can't figure out a new one. Should I also call you Mr. Jeon?
Jk: Ynnn *mad* Don't you dare bring that guy.
Yn: Hey, I didn't intend it that way. I'm sorry. I really like your 'Jeon'.
Jk: *calms down* *sighs*
Yn: *cheering him up* Actually, I like kook. What do you think?
Jk: As long as you like it, I won't have a problem yeowang-nim
Yn: What does that mean?
Jk: FInd it out yourself. *giggles*
Yn: This is not fair!
Jk: And so is not returning my kiss.
Yn: Seriously Jungkook? That was over text.
Jk: Jungkook?
Yn: Fine! KOOK. Happy?
Jk: Yes, yeowang-nim. *laughs*
Yn: At least let me hear it properly, so that I can figure it out.
Jk: I have told it twice already.
Yn: Come onnnnn!
Jk: Okay, bye Yn. We're about to take off.
Yn: I'll take my revenge.
Jk: *chuckles* Do it as you please *mumbles* yeowang-nim.
Yn: JUNGKOOK! That's not fair!
Jk: Haha, bye now. Love you.
Yn: *sighs* Bye. Have a safe flight. *ends the call*
