- is that how it is now?
He inquired ad he walked back to the kitchen.
- who was it one of your easy girls?
- mother, is that comment necessary?, it was from work, I have to turn in the night employees evaluations by Friday.
- I hope you give me a good one, I need a good raise.
She joked.
- you will get a raise accordingly with your performance young lady.
- always so stiff.
- he is always like that.
- mom, are you planning to attack me all night?
- I'm just joking son please, don't take it so seriously.
- he is always like that, he can't take a joke.
- call me when the food is ready, I'm really not up for this.
He said walking to the room.
- Jungkook...
- leave him, I'll get him in a few when the food is ready, he is just like his father, their sense of humor is weird.
- he was really playful last Thursday night.
- his father would not take a joke but he liked to play pranks sometimes.
- cute.
She said with a smile.
- want to see a picture of him?
- of course.
- Jungkook looks exactly like him.
- well he was really handsome then.
- he was but Jungkook is more handsome, he is a more polish version of his father.
- ah.
She walked to find a picture.
- goodness if only she knew.
Y/n's mind was trouble with many thoughts but specially all the memories from that fatal day, hoping that misses Jeon wouldn't put two and two together and remember who she is.
- here it is darling.
She said giving her the picture frame, one look and she felt how the tears were prickling in her eyes.
- he was indeed really handsome imo.
- I know.
She noticed y/n's teary eyes.
- are you crying?
She almost freaked out by her question.
- I just thought about it has to be really sad not having your husband with you anymore.
- well I miss him sometimes but he died saving a young lady about Jungkook's age, she was trapped in the building that was on fire, so he chose to go back for her, his job was saving lives so that's what he did that day unfortunately, it didn't work out how he wanted it.
- I know.
- you know?
- I mean I can only imagine.
- I wonder what happened to that young lady, she showed up to the funeral, and Jungkook treated her so badly that day, I still feel bad to this day, I would love to see her again.
- for what he says, he still feels resentment towards her.
- I don't know why, because it wasn't her fault, I told him that he really needs to stop blaming the young lady for something that his father had no control over it.
- but it must be hard for him, he lost his father that day.
- but you still here...
Y/n lifter her head right away to find her eyes staring at her waiting her y/n to deny it.
- please do not tell him, I don't want him to hate me.
- aigoo sweetheart, he doesn't hate you, he is just bitter for what happened.
- he already told me the story, all I felt from what he told me was lots of anger.
- listen, you are going to have to tell him eventually, it would be bad if he finds out in other way.
- I'm scared of telling him.
- is there any chance that you have feelings for my son y/n?
She nodded her head which was low looking at the table.
- aigoo, this is a weird situation, let's leave like this for now, whenever you are ready you can tell him, but just when you feel ready.
- yes imo.
- now dry those tears because I have to call him for dinner.
- yes imo, can I use the bathroom?
- of course, is that door right there.
- thank you.
She said walking in the bathroom quickly.
- Jungkook, dinner is ready!!!
- I'll be right there.
He walked back to the kitchen.
- where did she go?
- in the restroom.
He so the picture on the table.
- were you showing her pictures of dad?
- yes I was.
- why?
- I was just showing her how alike are you two.
- he was more handsome.
- I beg to differ son, you are more handsome.
- don't say that, I would never be like him, I'm nothing like him.
- that's not true, you have lots of features that he also had.
- I'm back imo.
Jungkook turned to look at y/n, as she walked back to the table.
- were you crying?
- I got sad when imo was telling me stories about your dad.
- mom, please don't make the guests cry, that's not being a good hostess.
- oh no Jungkook please don't say that.
- is ok sweetheart I'm used to he is just playing, come on mister funny pants so we can eat.

He said grabbing the picture from the table taking it to its place.
- (loud sigh)
- stop over thinking darling.
- I can't help it imo.
- is all in the past.
She said while placing the plates on the table.
After dinner they sat down in the living room, where they tried to watch a movie, but after a while y/n looked at the time.
- I have to get going before it gets too late.
- I'll walk you home y/n.
