Contract Relationship | Jeon Jungkook

▪ THIRTY-SIX

It was half past six in the evening when Jungkook arrived at the college. He stopped his car in front of the entrance. His head turned left and right, before stepping out of the car to look for Nahee's whereabouts.

He walked to the car's front boot and then rested his butt on it. He exhaled a sigh as he thought Nahee might have something with her college mates at this hour.

A few students left the college when the time reached six past fifty. As the man heard the students' chatterings and the noises of footsteps, he pushed himself up from the boot, waiting for Nahee's sight.

The students dispersed to different directions, making their group smaller than earlier. He was looking for Nahee yet, there was no figure of her. He mumbled, "where is she?"

Coincidentally after that, his phone rang and Nahee's name was shown on the screen. He answered the call, "hello."

"Where are you?"

"In front of your college. Where are you?"

"I'm at a shop, buying drinks and snacks for us."

"What for?"

"You said we're going to grab a drink later. I know you're going to insist these going to be on you. So, I'm buying these earlier before it happens."

Jungkook let out a soft laugh, smiling lightly. "Okay."

"I'm paying right now. Ah! Do you want anything? "

"Nah. Just whatever you buy is fine for me."

"Okay then. How about we're going to Han River after this?"

"Not bad idea," Jungkook said, still smiling. "Where should I wait for you by the way?"

"Just wait for me there."

Jungkook chuckled. "Okay."

"Well then, see you later!"

Still smiling lightly, he clicked the red button. He exhaled a deep breath, gently resting himself on front trunk as he observed the surrounding.

The evening breeze blowing across him featuring Nahee's voice in his mind cooled down the mess that nestled inside. He was glad that Nahee called at that time. That time when he almost lost his mind.

He was deep in his mind when he felt something blew him from behind and a gruff "boo!" was heard. He jumped as he turned his head to look behind.

The culprit laughed out loud when she saw Jungkook's wide eyes and mouth opened ajar. The plastics in her hands swung back and forth as she laughed, bending her back to the front.

Jungkook let out an exasperated sigh with a mumble, "aish..." Nahee couldn't stop laughing, and that made the man to watch with both of his hands held his hips with his lips pressed together.

Seeing that Jungkook didn't seem to be happy with her prank, Nahee immediately stopped. She stood straight with her hands clasped together, the plastics in her hands bumped against one another. The girl looked down like an obedient child getting scold by her parents.

"I'm sorry," Nahee said with a low voice. "It's been quite long since we met. I miss you. We can hardly call, we exchanged messages often but I don't feel it's enough, so I played a prank on you." The girl's voice kept shrinking as went on with her words. She then pouted when she ended.

Jungkook's arms folded, staring at Nahee with his chin up. He kept quiet for awhile, and then said, "how about picking you up today? Is it a prank too?"

Nahee gasped and then stuttered, "oh no no no no. T-this isn't a prank. Uhm... My mother is in Daejeon for work. Joonie oppa has to take care of Eerin eonni, I don't want to trouble my brother."
