Jungkook passed a clean short-sleeved T-shirt printed with red flowers through the slit of the doorway. "You won't fit my pyjamas. Make do with this."

"Okay, thanks... wait..."

"What?" He peered at her through the opening of the door.

She hid behind the door and said feebly, "Do you have any underwear?"

"Female underwear?"

"Well, that would be best."

Jungkook chuckled. "Why would a man like me have ladies' underwear? If I did have any, you should be seriously thinking about breaking up now."

"That's not what I meant... can you lend me yours then?"

"No."

"Why?!"

Why? Looking at this from a man's perspective, the answer should be right there...

Jungkook suppressed his smile and said with a straight face, "There's a taboo within the team, and that is that we should never let others wear our swimming trunks or underwear. I don't know why that is, but I have always followed the rule."

Lisa innocently believed him.

Jungkook was in a good mood after tricking his girlfriend when he heard Lisa's phone ring. He glanced at the screen to see that the caller was his mother.

He answered immediately.

Jungkook: "Mum. Lisa's here with me. I was just about to call you."

"Got it. Hmph, well, between your love life and your career, you should be doing well in at least one of them."

"I choose to do well in both."

Madam Kim did not comment on that, merely advising her son, "Be careful, you. If you get Lisa pregnant, you two must get married."

Jungkook flushed at his mother's words. He cleared his throat and replied, "I know."

"Jungkook."

"Hm?" He was somewhat puzzled that his mother would call out his full name in such a serious tone.

"No matter what you do, I will always support you."

Jungkook almost burst into tears. Let it be known that his mother had always been a rather cold person — in modern slang, she could be described as a 'tsundere'. To obtain verbal support from his mother was really not easy. He was really moved. "Mum..."

Madam Kim then added, "After all, you are my son, although I sometimes really want to throw you away and give birth to a new one."

Jungkook: =.=

Forget it. Why did he bother being moved?

After hanging up on his mother, Jungkook send a text to Jaehyun.

Jungkook: Jaehyun, can I sleep on your bed?

Jaehyun: Did you wet yours?

Jungkook: ...

Jaehyun: Don't worry, I'll never tell.

Jungkook: I did not wet my bed! I just wanted to ask you that. You can just say 'no', you know.

Jaehyun: Why not? You're my good bro. You can even pee on my bed if you want.

Why would I want to pee on your bed? You nutcase...

Jungkook could not believe how he had been good friends with such a strange person for so many years. He pressed on his temples, suddenly not sure how to continue the conversation. He could only say: Forget it. Let's not talk about that anymore. Forget I said anything.
