BARE SOULS

Hey Mr. Kook

*Yn discussed about what happened with her parents. They were shocked and now scared about her security and asked her to consider coming back to them. But Yn didn't want that, she told them about the warrant and also that she wouldn't have anything to do if she goes back. At the moment they are unsure but they are glad that at least she's not scared and happy with Jungkook.*
*BTS tour is announced and the schedule is yet to be released. Well, it's still unwary about when they'll get to meet again, considering the tour's fixed schedule. Meanwhile that whole incident with Mr. Black made Yn rethink about what she is currently doing.*
D: *sitting on the couch beside Yn* What are you doing?
Yn: *looking into her laptop* Reading about the schooling system and environment in Korea.
D: *shook* What? *excited* So are you going to take that offer?
Yn: I'm not sure yet. *sighs closing the laptop* Okay, let me talk out my thoughts.
D: *nods*
Yn: So after that whole drama happened, I was thinking and I felt like I'm not moving ahead in life. Like I did what I wanted after that divorce and stood up for myself and made myself happy doing all the things that I wanted. But what now? I mean opening a cafe was not my dream but the things I included in the cafe are something that I dreamt of. And I can do them occasionally whenever I want now. I needed to earn then and that was the need but right now, I got an opportunity to earn, through dance, that's what I love the most. And considering Aria, I don't want her to stick up to a single place her whole life. I want her to explore. And for her to learn languages effortlessly I think this is the right age. So, completely keeping Jungkook aside, I think this opportunity is offering me to take a step forward in my life.
D: Well, that's great but what are unsure about?
Yn: Me and Jungkook. I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle if I move there completely and then things don't go well- you know-
D: *sighs* Yn, for god's sake stop thinking about all the bad things. I understand that you are skeptical but come on, it's going to be fine. And even it didn't work out with him you have me and Mike and also, it's clear that Jungkook is just one of the reasons that you are considering the opportunity but not the only reason right? You are no way dependent on him, this is for you and you are going there based on what you earned.
Yn: *thinking* I think you are right. It's not like I'm going only for him, it's about me and my future too. So even though things don't go well, just in case, I can be on my own. Because this is not dependent on him.
D: There you go. So?
Yn: *smiles* So.... I'm taking it then.
D: OH MY GOD REALLLY?
Yn: Yes!!!! *hugs her*
D: Tell Jungkook. He'll be over the moon.
Yn: *chuckles* How about we surprise them?
D: Okay. I'm in. What's the plan?
Yn: Okay wait. I have been thinking actually. I decided to drop Aria at my parent's place for 2-3 months. She's just learning how to speak and I think she'll be effortlessly bi-lingual. That's my plan for her. And we have a promo shoot next month for the academy where we are supposed to assemble. They won't know the final list till then. I'll surprise him then. We can just use those three months to shift and settle things there for Aria as well, before I bring her back with me. What do you think?
D: Perfect. Looks like you have been thinking for quite a long time.
Yn: *smiles* Oh you bet. But I'm scared. This is a huge huge step.
D: It's going to perfect Yn. We'll do this together.
Yn: Let's hope that everything goes good.
*phone rings*
Yn: Oh it's him. *smiles* I'll go now.
D: Okayyyyyy.
*On call*
Jk: Haneun Geoya?
Yn: *chuckles* Well that was sharp. Nothing, just talking with Dara. What about you?
Jk: Okay, I'll ask again. What are you doing? And I'll wait for something romantic.
Yn: Whaaaat? I told you already.
Jk: *sighs* Okay bye.
Yn: What? Wait! What happened?
Jk: Nothing. I'm sleepy.
Yn: Then why did you call?
Jk: Seriously Yn? Can't you just persuade me even once?
Yn: Kook, what's with the mood swings today? Was your day bad? *calm*
Jk: I don't know.
Yn: *chuckles* So a harsh day it is. Did you eat?
Jk: Hmmm.
Yn: What did you eat?
Jk: Salad.
Yn: Okay, when did we switch roles? You are being cold now? *teasing him*
Jk: *irritated* Yes, I'm being cold but you are not even being half as romantic as me. *pauses* As always.
Yn: *taken aback* *sighs* Yeah, my bad.
Yn: *breaking the silence* W-what are you doing?
Jk: Nothing. Just laying down. *sharp*
Jk: I'm going to bed now. Good night. *cuts the call*
Yn: Well, I don't know what that was. I'm making it hard for him. I should be a little expressive. *sighs and pouts to herself* *her phone rings again*
Yn: Kook?
Jk: I'm sorry Yn. *pauses* I wasn't in my right mind and let it out on you.
Yn: It's okay. It's not completely wrong that I don't express much. You must be feeling-
Jk: *sniffs*
Yn: Wait are you crying? *concerned* Kook what's wrong?
Jk: I didn't do well in the performance today.
Yn: What? No! I have seen it on live, you were perfect. *chuckles* Jungkook don't be so harsh on yourself. Was that the reason?
Jk: Yes.
Yn: Jungkoooooook *babying him* one voice crack doesn't mean that it was bad. It happens.
Jk: So you knew it? You could see that my voice cracked right?
Yn: Yeah but, I know you want to be perfect but that really didn't effect anything. Trust me. You were so good, even Aria watched it, do you want to ask her? She's your best judge right?
Jk: *chuckles*
Yn: Mistakes happen kook, and this wasn't even a mistake if you ask me.
Jk: Hmmm. You know the whole day was like that, I couldn't dance properly too. *talking like a kid that's complaining*
Yn: I understand that you are disappointed kook. It's okay. Just vent it out here. Okay?
Jk: I was even mad on Jimin hyung, he cut me during the interview, I know he didn't mean it but I'm still angry.
Yn: *chuckles* Yeah, I saw that you got offended there.
Jk: *scoffs* I'll ignore him next time.
Yn: *laughs* Wow, nice come back.
Jk: And I saved icecream for me in the fridge and Jin hyung ate it.
Yn: Oh my god, I think you had the worst day ever. *chuckles*
*she puts her call on speaker and checks her mobile listening to him*
Jk: Yes, can you imagine I have been thinking about eating it the whole day and I found out that he ate it. I was too tired so I just came back to my room. He deserved that choco ball in the ramen.
Yn: *laughing* Sooo evil!
Jk: *hearing her laughter* *stays silent for a while*
Jk: I wish you were here.
Yn: *mumbles* I will be there soon.
Jk: What?
Yn: Nothing. I was just saying that I miss you.
V: *in the background* There's a parcel for you.
Jk: For me? *on call* Just a sec Yn.
*V gives it to him and leaves*
Jk: Ice cream? B-but I didn't order-
Yn: *chuckles* Enjoy eating it. It's all yours.
Jk: *happy and excited* Well my day just got better.
Yn: Okay, enjoy your ice cream. I'll hang up now, I need to leave for the cafe.
Jk: Bye Yn. You are the best.
Yn: *chuckles* only for you bunny.
Jk: Wait, wait!
Yn: What?
Jk: Our schedule is out. I will tell you when I can meet you. *giggles*
Yn: Really? I can't wait.
Jk: See you soon then.
* And so as per her decision Yn started making the necessary arrangements for Aria and her travel and also the shifting. *
Yn: *working in the garden* It's been a week since Jungkook talked about the schedule. I wonder when he's going to come here. They were in New York's concert a few days ago.
*Suddenly hears a huge sound from inside the house*
Yn: What's that? *removing her gardening gloves* Dara? IS EVERYTHING OKAY? *walking towards the house* DARA? ARIA? *sees no one and panics*
D: What's wrong Yn?
Yn: I heard a huge noise. Where is Aria?
D: *concerned* I thought she was with you.
Yn: What no? *panics* *runs into Aria's room and checks in the bathroom* *runs upstairs and checks everywhere*
D: *coming from the living room also panicking* She's not even there? Did you check the lawn?
Yn: I came from there, I was doing something in the garden. *goes out to lawn again*
Yn: *tearing up*
Jk: *calm* Searching for somebody?
Yn: *turns around and shook* *looks at Jungkook and look down to Aria that's holding his hand and controlling her laughter*
Yn: *placing a hand over her forehead* Oh my god! How could you? *coming back to her senses*
D: Calm down honey. You thought I would just let her go? *chuckles*
Jk: Okay, am I invisible here?
Yn: *realises it now* OH MY GOD! *surprised* JUNGKOOK? *runs to him and hugs him*
Jk: *flashing his bunny smile from over her shoulder* Wow, you didn't even realise that I am here?
Yn: *crying onto his shoulder*
Jk: *concerned* Yaah, Yn! *tightens the hug*
Yn: *mumbles* I missed you bunny! So so much.
Jk: I missed you too.
A: *hugs jungkook, but because if her height, she is just holding his leg*
Jk: *still hugging Yn, looks down at Aria* Ummm Yn, I think I need to hug Aria too. *pecks her ear, while she still buried her face onto his shoulder*
Yn: No! Only me. Stay like this. *talks into his chest*
Jk: *chuckles* Look who's the kid now.
A: Me too. *stretches her arms*
Jk: Okay Yn. I can't say no to her puppy eyes. *forcefully breaks the hug*
Yn: Noooooo! *whining like a kid* *looks at Jungkook all mad as he takes Aria into his arms*
Jk: *pecks her cheek* Did you miss me?
A: Yes, I missed you *places her tiny hand on his cheek*
Yn: *mad, storms inside*
Jk: *chuckles* I think your mommy's angry Aria. What do you think that I should do?
A: Mommy gives me kisses when I get angwey.
Jk: You get angwey too? *snuggles his nose onto her cheek making her laugh*
D: *smiles* Where's your luggage?
Jk: I left it in the living room. I'll go to her now.
*hands Aria to Dara*
Jk: *walking inside the house* Yn? Yyyyynnnnnn?
Jk: *turns back and looks at dara*
D: *pointing up indicating she might be in her room*
Jk: *slowly opens the door and chuckles at Yn that's rummaging through her wardrobe*
Jk: *hugging from the back* How could you be jealous of your own daughter? *chuckles*
Yn: I'm not talking to you. *frees herself from the hug*
Jk: *laughing* Alright, I'm sorry. I'm all yours now.
Yn: I don't need your hugs. *still sulking* I never missed them. Not your hugs, not your warmth and definitely not your kisses.
Jk: Hmm, I see that you didn't miss anything  *walking closer to her, pushing her back until the back of her knees hit the bed, making her fall on the bed* Maybe I didn't kiss you enough last time that you didn't miss me enough. *hovering above her, his face inches apart from hers*
Yn: What? Go give your kisses to Aria. *looking away all mad*
Jk: Oh trust me, I have a whole separate category of them for you. *crashes his lips on hers, intervening her fingers with his on either side of her head*
Yn: I thought you were coming next week?
Jk: No talking Yn. *continues the kiss*
Jk: Not angry anymore?
Yn: *blushing* *nods saying no*
Jk: Good girl. *lays beside her cuddling into her*
Yn: What are you doing?
Jk: What else? Making the most out of the two days that I get to spend with you.
Yn: So you're here for two days?
Jk: Yes baby! I came early.
Yn: *looking up at him with her head rested over him arm* Really? Wow. *pecks his lips*
Jk: *raising his brows* Looks like somebody wants more. *turns facing her, pulls her closer by her waist and crashes his lips on hers again*
Yn: *giggles through the kiss, slowly wraps her hand around his neck, running her fingers through his fluffy hair* You just needed a chance, didn't you?
Jk: Don't blame me. You have no clue, how much I have been craving for you.
Yn: *chuckles, calm and looks into his eyes* I love you bunny.
Jk: *flustered* Okay! I wasn't prepared for the sudden attack. *acts like he got hurt*
Yn: *laughs* Such a dramatic person.
Jk: *calm* Yn, can I sleep?
Yn: What? Why are you asking me? Of course you can.
Jk: *snuggles into her neck and hugs her tight*Alright, sweet dreams to me then!
Yn: *chuckles* *running her fingers through his hair, caressing*
*She stays like that for a while looking at his face while he slept peacefully, Adoring each and everything about him.*
Yn: *peeks a little* *chuckles* He sleeps with his mouth open too. *mumbles to herself*
Yn: *takes his hand into hers and brings it over her face, caressing his knuckles* *slowly pulls his sleeve down, revealing his tattoos*
Jk: *mumbles* What's with you and your daughter's obsession over my tattoos huh?
Yn: *smiles* Shut up and go back to sleep.
Jk: *smiles with his eyes closed* *takes her hand and makes her wrap it around him and goes back to hugging her* Stay like this then.
Yn: *chuckles* Okay. *kisses his forehead*
*Aria runs to Yn's room shouting*
A: Moommmmyyyyyyyy!
Yn: *places a hand over her lips* Ssshhh!
A: *biting her tongue, cutely tip toes to the bed*
Yn: *calm* What is it baby?
A: *whispers* When can I play with Kookie?
Yn: Tomorrow, when he wakes up.
A: Oooohhh. Okay *whispers again* *furrowing her brows* Mommy can I not sleep with you today? He's sleeping in my place. *pointing at Jk* *climbs up the bed*
Yn: *chuckles* We'll send him to your room. Then you and mommy will sleep here.
Jk: *talking with his eyes closed* Yaaaah! Is this how you are going to treat me now?
A: *making an O with her mouth and excited, that she got caught* *lifting her shoulders*
Jk: *opens his eyes, still hugging Yn* Miss. cupcake is this how you are going to treat your best friend? *pulls her towards him and starts tickling her*
A: AAAAGHHGHHH! KOOKIE MONSTER! *shrieks in his ears*
Jk: *closing his ears, gets up from the bed* I think I should wear my ear piece even at home.
Yn: *laughs*
A: *quickly goes to her side of the bed and hugs Yn, just like Jungkook was hugging her*
Jk: *about to get back to his place* *shook* *talking in pout* Yaaaah! This is cheating. Aria, get up. *crossing his hands*
A: NO *sticks her tongue out*
Jk: *whines in pout, with his sleepy face* Ynnnn! Tell her to get up. I was sleeping.
Yn: *laughs* Jungkook, she's just a kid.
Jk: She gets to hug you everyday and I don't. *pouts and sits on the edge of the bed, facing his back to them*
Yn: Aria, see kookie is upset now?
A: *looks at him from the corner of her eyes* *crawls to him and taps on his back* Are you angwey?
Jk: Yes.
A: *sits folding her legs* *looks down while pouting* *in tiny* sorry.
Jk: *melts immediately looking at her and feels bad* Nooooo, *taking her into his arms* I'm not angry Ari. I can never be angry on you. *pecks her cheek and hugs her tiny body*
Yn: *just looks at them adorably without spoiling their moment*
Yn: Sleep for a while Jungkook. I'll wake you up when the dinner is ready.
Jk: *nods*
Yn: Let's go B. Let's cook together.
A: Okaaaayyyy. *gets down from Jungkook's hands and runs to Yn that's near the door frame*
*Yn picks her up and leaves closing the door, while Jungkook dozes off. After they prepare the dinner, Yn comes to Jungkook to wake him up*
Yn: *sitting on the edge of the bed beside sleeping Jungkook* Kook? Dinner is ready. *slightly shaking his arm*
Jk: *groans* Aaahhhh, 5 more minutes Yn.
Yn: *chuckles* Okay. I'll get your bag. Take a shower and then let's eat together.
* Yn somehow wakes him up and pushes him into the washroom. Everybody is at the dinner table, waiting for Jungkook*
Jk: *walks towards them with his hair falling onto his face looking all fluff*
Yn: Can you even believe that I'm dating him? Sometimes I feel like I'm just delusional.
D: *chuckles*
Jk: *pinches her cheek* Yes, you are dating me. *takes a seat beside her* Where's Aria?
Yn: I put her to sleep after feeding her. She didn't even take a nap in the day today.
Yn: *looking at him* Are you really here? Like really? *pokes his cheek*
D: *laughing* Yn! What's gotten into you?
Yn: I mean- this just feels so unreal, I'm used to seeing him on face time. And now all of a sudden we're having dinner sitting together.
Jk: *bunny smile* Should I go back to your room and facetime then? That way you might feel normal.
Yn: *smacks his arm*
Jk: *giggles* *silently puts his hand around her waist and pulls her closer sneakily*
Yn: *wide eyes* *mouths* What? *signalling about Dara*
Jk: *winks and starts eating*
*The dinner went on while Jk, Yn and Dara talked about various things. Yn tells Dara to rest up, while she and Jk are putting the dishes away*
Yn: *cleaning the dishes*
Jk: *brings up the last plate and places it in the sink from behind her, washes his hands while enveloping Yn from either sides, and then hugs her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder*
Yn: *chuckles* What is it bunny?
Jk: Nothing. I just hope there's a way that we can be together often.
Yn: *sighs* Actually kook. I have something to tell you.
Jk: What is it? *concerned*
Yn: Not now. Let's go to the cafe tomorrow night. I'll tell you there.
Jk: *nods with his chin on her shoulder* Okay. As you say.
Yn: *smiles and pecks his cheek* What do you want to do after this?
Jk: I don't know, I'm fine with anything as long as you are beside me.
Yn: *chuckles* How about a movie night? If you are not tired. *keeping the washed dishes away*
Jk: Sounds good. Do you have popcorn? I'll make it in the meanwhile.
Yn: Yes. *points to a shelf*
*And so Jk makes them popcorn and they settle down to watch a movie, under a blanket cuddling with each other. It was a sweet movie and both of them are immersed in it.*
Yn: *looks at him randomly* *chuckles* Jungkook? Are you about to cry?
Jk: *trying not to cry, holding back hi tears* No.
Yn: *chuckles* Who are you kidding?
Jk: Yaaah!
Yn: *laughing* You are so adorable kook. *pecks his lips and cuddles closer to him, with his arm around her* What did you tell the staff?
Jk: I told my manager that it's something personal. That's it.
Yn: Hmmm. Okay.
Jk: I think at least people around me should know Yn. That way it's easier for us.
Yn: *sighs* I don't know. I'm just scared for Aria. And people's behaviour will definitely change once they know the truth and I don't like that fake world.
Jk: *nods* I get what you are saying. Let's see. I don't want to rush anything. Whenever you are ready.
Yn: *hugs him tighter and leaves a peck on his chest*
*They continue watching the movie. The next morning it's the weekend so Dara left for the cafe in the morning after they had their breakfast together. The whole day was so refreshing. Jungkook spent some quality time with Yn and Aria. By the evening he started feeling that he doesn't get to get Yn's attention much. He wanted some time alone with her and only her. He was secretly hoping and waiting for the night to arrive, so that they can go to the cafe together and he can spend some time with her*
