Double Trouble | JJK

Twenty-two

We did reach the park, and we only had around fifteen minutes to return home. Eun Woo explained that the park where we are at now, is one of the places he loves to go to when he is feeling down or tired.

I could honestly tell why. I thought as I look around the park. The park was charming and peaceful, I should've gone to this place when I feel stressed.

"So? What do you think?" He asked.

"I like it." I admitted. "It's charming and quieter than any other parks I've visited or been to."

"That's good to know." Eun Woo said with a smile. "My mom told me to always visit this park when I feel down, and I can tell why, I mean, the view is beautiful."

"True." I muttered with a small smile.

I wonder what Mom and Dad are doing. I thought as I looked down at the ground, feeling a bit sad, but I just sucked in all my thoughts and looked back up.

Eun Woo and I found a bench and we both sat down. I sipped onto my drink while Eun Woo followed. I looked around, it was only Eun Woo and I. It's dark already.

"You come here everyday?" I asked.

"No, only when I feel like." He answered.

"Oh." I mumbled, taking a sip from the drink in my hands. There was a cool breeze, well, it was explainable because it is Autumn.

"What do you do when you're stressed?"

"Me?" I asked. He nodded. "Well.. I go to parks or just sleep to get things off my mind, I don't know- my stress relieving ideas are simple and common."

"True." Eun Woo laughed, I didn't laugh as I was quiet. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Huh? Nothing's wrong." I answered, blinking fast. I don't know why I zoomed out, but I hate it when I zoom out, I have no idea why I just do.

"No." Eun Woo deadpanned. "I know when something is wrong- are you sure that nothing is bothering you? You know you could always tell me."

"I'm fine, Eun Woo. You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine, I just zoom out from time to time." I explained softly.

Eun Woo scanned my facial expression before he nodded shallowly and looked back at the view. I released a small breath as he believed me.

"Do you want to go home?" He asked softly.

I looked at my surroundings. It's getting darker by the minute. "Okay."

"Thank you for today." I spoke as he pulled up in front of my house. I could see three figures talking, which made me tilt my head to the side and raise a curious eyebrow.

"Yeah, no prob." He replied. "I'll see you tomorrow at school?" I nodded.

I get up from the seat and out of the car, not saying a word. I walked up onto our lawn, turned around and waved at Eun Woo, who waved back at me before he drove away.

"Oh, just in time!" I heard a voice. Mrs. Jeon?

I turned around, took a deep breath and made it up near the front door. There stood Dad, Mrs. Jeon and Jungkook. I raised an eyebrow, which caused Dad to give a small smile.

"Jungkook will be staying here for a few nights." Dad announced. "There is a small party that we'll have to attend to, but it won't be long, just a few nights, then we'll be back in the afternoon."

I nodded, not sparing a glance at Jungkook, who was looking at me. I blinked at Dad who gave a small smile at me, I offered him a small smile, while Mrs. Jeon smiled.
