Feels Like Home | A Lizkook AU

36.

Now...moving on to the other tricky subject - sleeping arrangements. Lisa had whispered to him that maybe it's better if she sleeps with Mrs Kim moving forward. But that means he won't have her next to him for the entire week and that's...quite devastating, to be honest. 

Silly of him to never even thought about it. He was used to living by his own means and never had to take into considerations of what his mother would think if he were to bring a girl back home, so this is a new thing he has to deal with. 

Slowly and cautiously, he walks up to Mrs Kim - who's busy watering her plants before ending the night. It's quite casual for him to speak to his mother about things now, since he's been opening up about pretty much everything since his confession. But this is an entirely different situation - possibly more terrifying than telling the woman he'd been a surviving by killing other people!

"Eomma..."

His mother turned and scans him from head to toe when he shuffles awkwardly - wondering if he should just let it go and accept what Lisa had proposed. But...but I miss her! I miss her in my arms and - and 7 days is a long time!!

"Why are you fidgeting?" Mrs Kim raised an eyebrow.

"Ahh..." Jungkook ruffled the back of his hair, trying and failing miserable to act casual. "So um...Lisa, she uh...she'll be staying with us for a week and I um...well, she asked if she could sleep with you but I uh...in your room but maybe if um -" Where the hell am I going with this - damn, I should've practiced this! "It's kinda hot tonight right?" He began fanning himself - his eyes wanders around as if the so-called 'hot air' could agree with him.

"Oh...I see..." Mrs Kim nodded and Jungkook sighed - knowing full well that his kind mother would agree. "She's your guest, right? I'm sorry but I'm used to sleeping alone. You're fine with sleeping on the floor, aren't you? You slept fine last night..." 

He frowned, not quite understanding. Who said I was sleeping on the floor?? He saw the hint of smirk on his mother's face and his lips formed an 'o'.

"Yeah...totally fine!! Floor is good - super comfortable -"

"Is that all you wanted to ask?" Okay, she's laughing at me but who cares?! 

"Yes!! Okay - I'll go prepare the um...the uh...okay! Thanks eomma!" He shifts back and forth before finally leaving the elder with a leaping heart.

...

"Are you sure ahjumma's okay with this? I don't want her to think badly of me -" Lisa whined again, sitting cross-legged on his bed. 

He can't wait to hug her, especially with the way she's looking right now - wrapped in that too-big-of-a-shirt and her natural, bare-faced beauty!

"Yeah! She insisted actually...cus she's used to sleeping alone,"

"And you had nothing to do with her saying that?"

"Nope!" Jungkook smiled as he throws a pillow on the extra duvet on the floor carpet. There...looks good enough! He then plopped himself on the bed next to her, earning a small frown from the girl.

"What are you doing? You said you'll sleep on the floor," Her straight face shows that she's serious. 

"Oh...that's um...I mean, I can climb down there in the morning -"

"No...your mother said you'll sleep on the floor, and you agreed. So you'll sleep on the floor,"

Is she...is she serious?? I miss holding her - how can she asks me to be away from her?! This is the only time they get to be alone with each other and...and I miss her!!
