Present

I couldn't see Jimin as much the following week. It's exam period, so him and Yoongi are completely swamped with their studies and work, so I didn't bother them much.

I visited both whenever I could, just to drop off some energy drinks and a snack but other than that they were completely absorbed in their responsibilities. Especially Yoongi, who is currently searching for a smaller place to live and a part time job other than YouTube. The only positive is he didn't fall back on his studies because he managed to arrange to partake in online lectures during his stay in the hospital. Plus, the man is mad smart so him acing those exams is a sure thing.

I missed seeing them whenever I please, but I remind myself that this won't last long and that we will be hanging out again soon. Yoongi has been pestering me to go to Mac Donald's ever since he got discharged and he's starting to sound like a broken record. He has an unhealthy addiction to Mac Donald's fries.

I'm currently working an evening shift at the patisserie and my hands are about to break from mopping the floors a thousand times, washing mountains of dishes, and carrying heavy crates from one space to another. Today it was delivery day, which means one thing: physical labor. Having to carry enormous sacks of floor to a basement wrecks your back.

I look over at the clock as I wash the last bit of the dishes. It's eight thirty and I get out at nine.

Thirty minutes to go.

I quickly rinse all the dishes and stack them neatly on the dryer then toss the gloves aside when I notice Anna shutting the fridge. My phone suddenly vibrates, and I expect it to be a text from either Axel, Jimin or Yoongi, but instead it's a text from Jungkook. And knowing Jungkook, he's probably in town now and he wants a quick lay while he's here. But now that I'm dating Jimin, I'll have to set the record straight with him.

jk_idc: I'm gonna be in town for a while until winter break. You wanna meet?

who_is_noctis_: sure when? I hit send.

jk_idc: when are you free?

who_is_noctis_: I'm getting off work in ten.

jk_idc: come to my place.

who_is_noctis_: say the magic word

jk_idc: mommy?

Right after work, I spend no time to drive over to Jungkook's place. I ring the bell and he opens the door for me. There he is standing tall with his shoulder leaning against the doorframe and a naughty grin splayed on his face. With one mere glance at his physique, I can tell that he's been working out and the truth is he looks attractive bulked up.

His shoulders are broader, and his muscles are more defined. T-shirts no longer hang on his body like they used to. Instead of his body taking the shape of the clothing he wears, the clothes adjust nicely on him. And since he makes money by selling his outer appearance, he must have agencies bombarding his messages.

"Hey mommy. Long time no see." He says in a mocking manner, and I roll my eyes as I walk into the corridor.

"I didn't answer to that via text, so don't expect me to answer to that now." I tell him with a laugh. Together we pace into the living room, and we take a seat on the sofa. "So, what brings you by Sunleth?"

"If I say I missed you, will you believe me?"

"Yes, because I'm a fucking delight."

Two can play at this game.
