Spring cleaning
Lisa cleared all the contents inside the old boxes that have been sitting in the attic for a long time now. She figured giving away all the old stuff they won't be needing such as...
old clothes
baby toys, her children have already outgrown them.
Among the boxes she opened there was a peculiar item that caught her eye, she held it with her hands and nostalgic memories began to fill in. "I wonder if it still works?" she dusted the old stuffed teddy bear and later gave it a squeeze. But there was no sound coming from the toy, she guessed it needed fresh batteries.
Thinking maybe she'll find some batteries on her way down, Lisa came down with the stuffed teddy bear with her.
She was heading towards the kitchen where her children were .
Jiseung was slicing both him and his sister some cake and eating it."What's with the old bear mom?" her son asked when Lisa entered the kitchen. Her children watched as their mother began searching for something from the drawers and cabinets.
"He looks like dad in his teen years" he added.
"This is an old gift given to me from your father", she fondly remembered her teen years and giggles "Back then he had trouble saying 'I Love You'"
Licking the remaining icing on her fork, Lia tilted her head, confused and asked "Why?"
Lisa began telling them the story
They were practicing at the training grounds in the park.
Lisa sneakily hugged Jungkook from behind to surprise him and greeted him with her usual cheery voice "hey Kookie". Minding his surroundings that consisted of other players and his own team mates, Jungkook was never showy in giving Lisa PDA. He has many reasons but being shy was not one of them. So a simple "Hey" was all she got in return.
She didn't mind it and she gave him a kiss on the cheek, no reaction from him.
"I love you" She said suddenly like it was any ordinary day and then added "Do you love me too?".
Jungkook froze and shifted uncomfortably. He even dropped the basketball on the ground and his friends turned to see the scene and waited to see how he would respond because there he was, not making any eye contact with Lisa and... was he blushing? This was turning out to be exciting.
Lisa was waiting for an answer "well? say you love me too"
Noticing all eyes are on him, Jungkook was sweating and was looking for an excuse as a way to escape. But to his luck, Jimin and Taehyung was making his situation more embarrassing by teasing him. Taehyung does his best imitation of Jungkook by crossing his arms and made his voice sound a little deep "Lisa I love you so much! but i'm too shy to say it out loud so I'll do this instead to show you my affection... UMUAH!"
