Chapter 2 (1/1)

Chapter Song >> ThroneTheir vacation came to an end within a blink. Soojung has been whining non-stop about not wanting to go back to town. Jungkook is against it as well, because being locked up in an apartment all day isn't fun. Especially since it it's summer and it is hot. That week has been troubling for Jungkook. He had decided to go on vacation with a plan, yet as soon as it was time to actually do it, he freaked out, not knowing what to think or how to act. Examining the small, dark blue velvet box in his hands, he sighs as he waits for Soojung to come back from the gas station's toilet. His plan was to propose. But something held him back as soon as he put his hand in the pocket of his jeans. He wanted to do it, he wanted to do it so bad because he loves Soojung. What is holding him back? ~~ It is when Jungkook is about to take the last turn right that will lead them to their house that his phone rings. "Ugh, can you get that please?" he groans, his hands gripping the steering wheel. Soojung hums casually in response and picks up the device from the side of her seat. "It's your mom," she notifies quickly. Jungkook remains silent, eyes focused on the road, "Hello? Oh, hi Ji Hyun," she greets, "Yes, yes I'm fine. Yes, Jungkook is fine as well. Yes, he's here." Jungkook rolls his eyes. What on earth can she possibly want, "She says it's important." Soojung hands him the phone. With a deep breath, he calms himself down and then takes the phone in his hands. "Mom?" "Jungkookie, I need you to come home right now." "Sorry, mom, I can't today--" "Right now, Jungkook, it's really important." And with that she hangs up. Jungkook sighs, because there is his mom, ordering him to do things, even if he is twenty six. And the worst part? He can't bring himself to say no. "What's wrong?" Soojung's voice brings him back to reality. He sighs for the umpteenth time, not answering Soojung's question. Instead of stopping in front of their apartment, he continues driving, heading for his parents' house. What, what could be so important? The closer he drives to his house the more his grip tightens on the steering wheel. He just wants to go home and sleep. The trip had been exhausting. Just as he reaches the mansion, both of their gazes fall on top of an extremely expensive car, parked right outside. "What the fuck.." Jungkook mumbles under his breath as he gets out of his own car. Soojung copies his actions, walking by his side, with an equally confused look plastered on her face. He tears his gaze from the car and wraps his arm around his girlfriend's waist, "Let's go." Walking to the door, he rings the doorbell and waits impatiently for the door to open up. "I'm so tired.." Soojung rests her head on his shoulder and closes her eyes. Jungkook simply chuckles, kissing the crown of her head. The door opens then, grabbing their attention. "Ah! Finally, Jungkook-ah, Soojung-ah, come in!" Mrs Jeon's voice breaks the comfortable silence. The couple walks inside and stops at the foyer. Jungkook frowns, not knowing why his mom answered the door instead of the maid, "I'm glad you came, we have a guest." she grins excitedly, kissing both of his cheeks and repeating her actions on Soojung. "Mom, really now?" he sighs in frustration. "We just came back from the mountains, we are exhausted, look at us!" he groans. Indeed, they look exhausted. He is wearing a white tee, a pair of short trousers and red converse while Soojung is wearing a short dress and a pair of sandals. "He said it was urgent, Jungkookie." she tries to explain herself, only managing to make Jungkook even more confused. "He? Who are you talking about, anyway?" Jungkook rubs his forehead, already feeling a headache coming. Mrs Jeon points behind him, to the living room, making him instantly turn around to check. And then he feels his stomach drop to the floor. An oh-so-familiar man sits on the white couch. With one hand he is holding his phone while his other is stretched along the sofa. His legs are crossed and he seems way too focused on his phone to notice anything else happening around. His almost blonde hair are styled neatly. He is wearing black pants and a button up white shirt that fails to cover his tattoos. His whole chest and shoulders are covered with tattoos, expanding up to his neck, covering it whole as well. His sleeves are folded up to his elbows, revealing his strong, also tattooed arms. Jungkook's gaze then travells to his hand, the one holding the phone, seeing various jewellery decorating his knuckles mostly, along with tattoos of course. He has changed so much yet not at all. "Baby, what's wrong?
