»THIRD PERSON«

It was a pleasant Sunday afternoon at the Jeons residence. Newlyweds Jungkook and Lalisa were supposed to travel to Busan by car, where Jungkook's parents lived.

It would've taken them around four hours to drive from Seoul to Busan, if there wasn't much traffic on the way.

Jungkook set the GPS and estimated the amount of time it would take to reach there, if they started early.

I repeat, if they had started early.

Because everyone knew, the two of them were always late for any occasion they were scheduled to attend.

No, laziness wasn't the case. Things just wouldn't turn out the way they are and something would happen right on the day they're supposed to go out.

For instance, once when the two were still dating, a mutual friend Hoseok had called them for the inauguration ceremony of his new dance studio. They were all set to go, when suddenly Jungkook remembered they had run out of gas. They reached the place over an hour later, when the ceremony was already over, apologizing to Hoseok who gave them an earful.

Not to forget, when they reached the wrong address to attend Seokjin's daughter Lia's first birthday as Lisa forgot to consult the GPS for the directions.

Today, Jungkook had ensured everything was fixed on his part. He had refilled the gas, arranged the directions, watched the weather forecast - which predicted today it might rain heavily so it was better if they stayed at home. But Jungkook being Jungkook was sure that they could tackle the rain had they started two hours early.

Well that never happened.

Why you ask?

Jungkook forgot to inform Lisa about it.

Lisa had errands to run.

"Wait, you are actually telling me now! Seriously Guk?!!" Lisa was beyond shocked and looked at her husband with a betrayed expression.

Nodding his forehead and scratching his nape in an uncomfortable manner he replied,"Well didn't I say we could go to Busan this weekend when I talked to eomma about it?"

"And so you assumed that I will know it?" "Uh....yes?" "Wow. Great." She said, facepalming herself. "But it will take time, I have called in for the maintainance person to check up on the chimney." "Okay, we will leave after that is done."

Jungkook calculated that it might take only around half an hour for the maintenance work. Unfortunately he was so wrong.

The man was already late by fifteen minutes and when he started working on the chimney it took another forty minutes. "Why is he taking so long for that damn thing?!" Jungkook asked, frustrated uhm...*trusfrated*. "Why don't you just get ready by then? It's better than staying glued to the TV playing overwatch." Lisa rolled her eyes.
