SPLIT (COMPLETED)

don't attract attention to us

"Good morning, Man of the Match.", Chaeyoung greets the man who just wakes up after she opened the curtain of the hotel room.

Her good morning wish makes him chuckled as he covers his face from the shining sun coming through the window.

"Good morning, sunshine.", he replies as he grabs her wrist when she playfully hits him with a pillow to make him get up from the bed. Within a second, Chaeyoung plops down to his lap as he purposely pulls her close to him.

"Did you just greet the sun or you call me sunshine because the sun shines on your face?", that question comes out from Chaeyoung as she merely sees Jungkook's face behind her.

Jungkook smiles in respond before he speaks up, "Hmm...I greeted the sun. It shines so bright this early morning."

His answer makes Chaeyoung pouts at him before she gets up and hits him with the pillow again.

"I'm joking, I'm joking. Don't hurt me.", he takes the pillow from her and sniffs it making Chaeyoung looks at him like a creep.

"Wake up, Kookie. You will make us late for our trip with unnie and Jin oppa if you're still lying there.", she tells him as she looks at her luggage for clothes to change.

Jungkook ignores her as he keeps his face on the pillow that Chaeyoung used to sleep last night. "Can we not follow them? I mean...I bring them along here not just to accompany you to watch my game last night. I bring them here as a present for their coming wedding.", he says as he puts her pillow on the bed next to his pillow.

His words make Chaeyoung turns around to see him. "But they asked us last night and we agreed to go together.", she reminds him of their plan to go sightseeing around the Sydney city with the Kims who will get married at the end of the year.

Apparently Seokjin accidentally told Jungkook about his engagement with Jisoo a few days before they go to Australia. It was an unfortunate night when the four of them had a dinner date at a restaurant that Jungkook suggested to the couple. They had a spicy chicken in their menu and Seokjin started to blabber when he could not hold the spicy taste in his mouth. Because of that, Jungkook began teasing him by asking if he will marry Jisoo soon and he simply said yes. He showed the younger man his engagement ring before Jisoo and Chaeyoung came back from the toilet. It was funny for Jungkook but not for Jisoo. She was sulking with Seokjin before Jungkook decided to bring them to Australia where he has an AFC Champions League game there as an advance present for them.

"Can't we tell them we'll just stay in bed today?", Jungkook still tries his best to make Chaeyoung agree with him to not follow the couple exploring the city.

"Jungkook, I never been here in a foreign country. Can't I act like how tourist do today?", Chaeyoung remains with her decision to go out of the hotel room.

She takes out a floral dress to the bed before she asks Jungkook if he really does not want to go out that day. He looks at the dress in front of him quietly as if he is thinking about the trip. When he is about to speak, he feels Chaeyoung's hand touching his forehead making him backs away in reflex.

"Chae, what are you doing?", he asks even though he knows why.

"Just checking if you have a fever. I don't want to leave you alone if you're sick. You might faint like last time.", she tells him while reminding him of the time he fainted two months ago in her hotel room because of high fever.

While shaking his head, he gets up from the bed and starts stretching his hands to show that he is doing fine and well.

"I'm good. We can go out with noona and hyung.", he says as he goes to take his towel.

"Great! Be quick or I'll leave you alone.", Chaeyoung pushes him to the bathroom before she goes to pick his clothes for their activity that day.

There are not many people going out of the Sydney Opera House after the show ends so Seokjin frivolously sings like an Opera singer they just watched that evening. Jisoo finds it irritating so she slaps his cheek a little to stop his silliness. Chaeyoung and Jungkook laugh at them quietly as they walk to their rented car.

"Don't attract attention to us, honey! Remember who we are with.", Jisoo reminds her fiance as she lowers her voice at the end of her sentence.

"It's okay, Jisoo noona. I don't think anyone knows me here.", Jungkook intervenes as they reach their car. He looks around wondering if anyone knows him when he wears enough to disguise himself from being recognised. He shakes his head to Jisoo when he is sure that no one looks suspicious to him.

"Still...just to be careful.", Jisoo tells him as she gets inside the car first and closes the door slightly hard to annoy Seokjin.

They all get inside the car with Seokjin on the driver's seat while the younger couple on the backseat.

"Unnie, Jungkook said it's okay. Plus, I think he overdressed already with the beanie and scarf. Give me your scarf, Kookie.", Chaeyoung tries to turn the environment to be a little better and more chill so that they can continue exploring the city without anyone losing their mood for the day.

Jungkook takes off his scarf and helps Chaeyoung to wear it on her neck. Their little affectionate action is seen by Seokjin through the rear view mirror. He purposely delaying to drive because of them as he smiled looking at them.

"Why aren't you driving, Jin?", Jisoo's voice breaks the silence in the car.

"Oh, it's these two. They're too sweet, I can't pretend I didn't see what they're doing. Look.", Seokjin points to the mirror so Jisoo can see by herself.

However, Jisoo turns around instead to look at the two at the back. "Please don't be too sweet...than us.", she says as she sees Jungkook casually kisses Chaeyoung's forehead in front of them.

"Gosh, they're too sweet than us.", Seokjin states as he too, turns around to see Chaeyoung gets shy with them.

"That's enough. Honey, turn around and focus on driving.", Jisoo replies as she moves Seokjin's head to look to the front.

Jungkook chuckles at the back while Chaeyoung secretly smiles while looking away from him. She is still a little shy with the couple in front of her. They just witnessed her being kissed by Jungkook.  It is not the first time they saw it but she still feels shy with them. She wonders how it will be if her relationship with Jungkook is revealed to everyone especially his fans and the media. Will they welcome her as his girlfriend or...will they hate her?

🌻🌻🌻

The couples just had their dinner when Jungkook suddenly receives an important call. All of them stay in the car when Jungkook answers the call at the roadside. None of them want to bother him until he comes into the car.

When he is done with the call, he gets in the car quietly like nothing happens. He does not say anything other than sorry for letting them wait before they head back to the hotel. When they reach their respective hotel rooms, Chaeyoung gets bothered with his sudden quietness after the call he received earlier.

"What was the call about? You were so quiet after you got it. Is there anything you want to let me know, Kookie?", she asks him as they both get inside their hotel room.

Jungkook sighs as he sits on the edge of the bed.

"Kookie, what is it? You make me worried.", she insists to know as she sits next to him.

"I...found her. Finally.", Jungkook answers her question.

"Her?", Chaeyoung says.

He nods his head while looking at Chaeyoung, "My mom."
