"Hey! You drank my banana milk again, didn't you?!" the child screeched with a disappointed face. The latter made a disgusted face. 

"Ew! Why would I drink that?! It's DISGUSTING!"

"DISGUSTING?! How dare you say that!" the child threw a cushion at her face.

"Yah, Jungkook-ah, what is this?! Why are you hitting your friend?!"  a young lady entered the scene, making the little man turn towards her. 

"She drank my banana milk and even called it DISGUSTING!" 

"Are you really so silly? I can always buy you more of it. Don't fight," she said with fiery eyes, however, her gaze softened when it fell on the little girl. "Y/n, I'm really so sorry," she apologetically said. "Jungkook, say sorry to her!" she yelled once again, her gaze fixated on Jungkook. The girl mischievously stuck out her tongue at him making him growl. 

"Sorry," the little man carelessly apologized. 

"It's alright," you said, smiling kindly as if he was the culprit all along. 

"Hey! Wake up!" Joy exclaimed. Your lids fluttered open as you looked around. 

"I'm ready and on time, but you're late. I tried to wake you up but you didn't back then, so I decided to leave you for the time being. Now go and get ready!" she pulled you out of bed and pushed you inside the washroom hurriedly, but still, all you could think of at the time was the dream you had. 

But it wasn't just a mere dream; it felt more like a vivid flashback of a real experience.

Whilst you brushed your teeth in a hurry, your mind was still hazy because of the dream you'd seen. The little boy you'd seen in the dream was exactly whom you described to Jungkook. 

'What was his name, again?' you tried to recall since you remembered that there was a mention of the kid's name in the dream. 'Jungkook... was it?' 

You choked on your toothpaste and coughed it all out.

"YAH! WHO'S CHOKING YOU?!" Joy screamed from the other side of the door with a hint of concern in her voice. However, you knew that the 'concern' was just sarcasm and what she meant was something else.

"JUST GO AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!" you yelled back vigorously and floated back to your trance.

'Then... is that why Jungkook asked me about the little guy?' you put your hand on your waist, still rethinking all the moments he showed a hint of familiarity with you and 'Fuck, he really is the same guy?!'

After brushing your teeth, you hastily got ready only to arrive late for breakfast. But thankfully, there was still some food left in the buffet. You started serving yourself when you felt a presence beside you, forcing you to look in that direction only to see Jungkook staring at you. However, he snapped out of his trance when your gaze met his.

"Good morning. Woke up late?" Jungkook asked, a simpering smile on his face. 

"Yeah. But apparently, you woke up quite early," you responded.

"Yup. The thing is that I wasn't thinking about someone before sleeping," he winked at you. You raised a brow at him. "Well, who were you thinking about?" he teased.

"Min-ho," you uttered almost immediately making Jungkook facepalm.

"I know you don't like him," he said.

"Well, I think you are manipulating me to think so," you rolled your eyes.

"Me? Manipulate? I'm the most innocent guy you'll ever know, miss," he pursed his lips, trying not to laugh at your face.

"As if," you emphasized on the word. 

"Anyways, eat fast, or else we'll leave you here," he said with a flaunting smile and left, and only then did you realize that you missed the perfect opportunity to confront him about your past friendship.

You had all come to Dongmun Market to do some local shopping and try out Jeju's specialties. You were walking with Joy, who had been holding all your shopping bags for the past forty-five minutes. Even though you knew her quota would be ending soon, you kept buying almost everything you saw nearby.

"Yah! It's my turn to buy now! You hold my things and for God's sake stop shopping," she yelled with a scrunched face.

"Hey, calm down. I'll just buy this and then you can shop, too," you replied calmly, slowly sauntering around the marketplace. 

"Whatever it is, do it fa–" Joy paused when Jungkook arrived and took some of the polybags from her. 

"Let me help you," he insisted.

Upon hearing his voice, you turned around to make sure that it was Jungkook, but when you saw him taking everything from Joy, you felt sort of... jealous.

"Jungkook," you called out his name. He questioningly hummed in response. "If you don't mind, please stay with us for a while. When Joy starts shopping, then carry her things too, alright?" you spoke midst gritted teeth. Jungkook sensed what you were feeling and smiled cheekily. "Sure, Y/n. I'm always there to help you, as you know."

You turned back around to look in the front. You crossed your arms around your chest, making sure to keep a check on both of them from the corner of your eye.

"She's jealous," Joy whispered to Jungkook with a smirk.

"I can see that," Jungkook chuckled softly.
