Jungkook POV
Lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling, I couldn't help but started giggling. That Choi Yuna is really something eh. Usually, whenever I am on an overseas trip, I will be spending my nights at the various clubs since I am alone. But this time, I find myself going to Yuna's eatery almost every night. If not, I will be spending my nights in the hotel, clearing up my workload.
Flashback
"Argh, Jeon Jungkook! Don't be too full of yourself!" Yuna yelled at me, whacking my arm. Calling my full name huh? Very well then, Choi Yuna.
"I heard that... Choi Yuna." I raised an eyebrow, staring at her. I could feel her stiffen up right away, almost stopping her breath to comprehend the situation. She probably knew that she was doomed. "I mean... err... did I?" There, she tried with her old tricks again. I just gave a light nod with a playful smile.
It is funny how she got panicky while the Choi Yuna that I know is all mighty and fearless. "Don't worry, I have not thought about anything yet. But keep in mind, you owe me one." I stood up from my cross-legged sitting position, patting the dusts off my pants, looking down at her.
"You really don't wanna leave, eh? I am leaving then." Swinging the plastic bags of rubbish, I turned my back.
"Hey, hey! Wait for me! Jeon J- Mr Jeon!" I heard her shouting behind me, followed by quick and heavy footsteps.
So quickly, a week's break away from Seoul has ended. I packed my luggage, checking out before deciding where to spend my last 2 hours in Ilsan before leaving for the airport.
12p.m. Maybe I should just go there, I can fill my stomach anyways.
Author POV
"You are leaving soon?" glimpsing the small suit case by Jungkook's leg, Yuna predicted while serving him his food. "Yea, my flight is at 5pm." He shortly answered, digging in his food.
This day, he was dressed differently as the past few days. He had been in tuxedos for most of his days there since he was having meetings after meetings. But today, he was wearing his casual clothes, white tee with ripped jeans, nothing fancy and formal.
"He will be a good boyfriend." Yuna was busy preparing the dishes to serve when her mom popped in out of nowhere. "Omo, umma. You scared me!" Placing on the utensils on the tray, ready to serve, Yuna turned to her mom, "And no way will he be a good boyfriend. I told you we were enemies."
"Hello young man, I heard from Yuna that you are leaving Ilsan soon. Here, a free steamed egg for you before you leave. Don't reject my offer." Jungkook looked up from his soup, then at the steamed egg in front of him, before landing his eyes on Yuna's mom.
"T-Thank you, Mrs Choi." Jungkook was flustered by the sudden offer, bowing his head to show his gratitude. "Don't need to be so formal, young man. Hope you had fun in Ilsan." She smiled.
"Umma! Aren't you supposed to be helping out?" Yuna crossed her arms, raising her brows. "I am just talking to my customers to boost customers' satisfaction, darling." Yuna's mom smiled, "Besides, there are lesser customers around already."
"Umma! Unnie!" From the main door was Yuna's sister in her uniform, running in. "Oh, Eunmin ah." The two older ladies called in unison.
"Oh, is this that handsome oppa that umma was talking about?" Kids are eventually just kids. We always do not expect kids to speak the right thing at the right time. "Eunmin." Yuna was sternly looking at her sister, telling her to not go on further. Despite their loving relationship, there are always times when you just love teasing and bullying your siblings, don't we all love?
"Wae?" Acting ignorant to her sister's look, Eunmin continued. "Hello oppa, I am Eunmin. Yuna unnie's sister. My umma always talks about you at home." Sometimes, we just hate children's truthfulness.
"Yah Eunmin, I don't talk about him from nothing. It's your sister seems to be with him all the time." Yuna's mom tried protecting herself, throwing the ball to Yuna, leaving Yuna dumbfounded.
"Oh well, does our family work like this now? Teasing me all day every day?" Yuna whined, crossing her arms in front of her chest. Without getting a reply, a chuckled was heard from the man.
Jungkook, staring at the 3 ladies debating within themselves, couldn't help but let out a short chortle.
"Looks like your family discuss about me a lot eh?" Turning his gaze to look at Yuna. Eunmin and their mother sensibly left the two after shooting teasing looks at Yuna. "Aish..." Yuna was about to curse under her breath when she heard what Jungkook said.
"Oh please. You have misunderstood, alright. And it was your choice for coming to our eatery every day." She scoffed, arms not leaving from her chest.
Confidently, the man shrugged his shoulders, "It just seems like you family likes me a lot." He started digging into the free steamed egg, smirking a little.
"Oh no, I am sorry to disappoint you, MR JEON." She purposely emphasized on the words "Mr Jeon".
Finishing up his food, it was almost time to head to the airport for his flight back.
"Have a safe flight." While paying, Yuna greeted as she gave him the receipt. "Don't miss me too much." The same old corky Jungkook earned a scorn from Yuna.
"I remember tell you to not be so full of yourself." She replied, sighing. Satisfied with her reaction, Jungkook laughed softly before bending towards the girl, showing his faint dimple from his smile. "See you in Seoul, Choi Yuna."
What makes him so sure that they are going to see each other again? Yuna thought, staring at his back leaving from the eatery. How much she wishes that she will never meet him again.
But one thing that she forgot... she owes him one.
Jungkook POV
Life back to Seoul was hectic as hell. I have calls after calls, dinners after dinners to attend to. How I wish I could go back to Ilsan to have another short takeaway.
"Mr Jeon, you have another meeting at 8pm. Don't forget." Sobin pointed at my table's post-it to remind again. "I won't forget. You should go home already. It's almost 7." I instructed her, taking the files over from her hands. "You have been staying in the office too late these days."
Standing up from my seat, wearing on my coat before checking myself in the mirror to look presentable. "Sure then, see you tomorrow, Mr Jeon."
Stopping at a traffic light while driving my way to the destination for my meeting, I looked out of the window to let time pass faster when I saw familiar figure. Is that Choi Yuna? She is back from Ilsan? It was a group of girls by the roadside, walking together so I did not get a chance to have a clearer look.
Beeeeeeep! The car behind was horning at me after I realised that it was already the green light signal. Oh no, Jeon Jungkook. Are you actually missing her?! Giving a 'sorry' sign to the driver behind, I continued driving. No no, this can't be. You don't even know her that well! It's illusion, Jeon Jungkook. Just illusion.
Yuna POV
The evening after work at the orphanage, I received a long stretch of new messages conversation in our group chat with my girls. They were discussing about meeting out for dinner since I was finally back to Seoul from home.
Since nothing was planned for me for the night, I agreed to their suggestion. "I heard there is this restaurant that many successful people hang out, should we go check it out too?" Yerin unnie asked when we met.
"I don't have the money to afford such expensive food." Eunha declined the idea. "But think about it, you might find a guy of your taste." SinB wriggled her brows, nudging Eunha. "Come on guys, we are not desperate, are we?" I finally spoke up.
"This is not desperate, Yuna. We are all working now, we should be exposed to more places like this to prepare ourselves, right?" Sojung unnie wrapped her arm around my shoulder. "I work with kids, I don't need those." Rejecting her logic, I rebutted.
"Oh, come on! It's once in a life time, unnie. We will all go together, alright!" SinB groaned impatiently, pulling our hands to follow her. "Besides, if we don't have the money to pay, Yewon has!" she continued and a slap on her head came right after from Sojung unnie.
Even though Yewon is the youngest among us, she has the richest family background as compared to us. Therefore, sometimes she might invite us to her house for a stayover. Not a house, more like a mansion. But she is different from those rich people. She is not arrogant, neither is she petty. That's why we are friends.
Arriving outside the restaurant, the aura was definitely different and intimidating. People in maxi dresses and tuxedos were entering into the restaurant as we stared down at our clothes. "Do we look too underdressed?" SinB asked, staring at her black knee-length dress.
"It's okay, we all wore our working clothes. At least not shorts." Sojung fixed her waving long hair before gathering us one of the waiters waiting by the door.
"Table for 6, please." Sojung unnie greeted but was given a cold-shoulder. Is this the type of service a high-class restaurant is giving?
"Ma'am, if you could see, we serve high-class people. Maybe you should change your clothes before entering? If you have the money to afford them." He spoke up, judging us from head to toe.
HELLO?! What did he mean? Just when I was about to spoke up, a voice was projected from behind us.
"They are with me. Give them a room."
Confused by the situation, we all turned our heads to see... JEON JUNGKOOK. What?! Again? There he is again!
"Mr Jeon..."
"You heard me, right? I said give them a room." Passing by all of us, Jungkook stopped in front of the waiter. "And if you are going to use that attitude to serve, you should regret now." He stared sternly, moving his stare to the waiter's name tag.
"Sorry, Mr Jeon. Sorry ladies, please follow me." He got the hint from Jungkook and swiftly signal us to follow him while we were still in the state of shock.
"Don't need to thank me." He by passed me with his hands in his pockets, entering another room from ours.
Author POV
"Oh my gosh, Yuna. That was Jungkook right? He is so cool!" Yerin exclaimed after settling in a nicely set room with sofas and wines. "I know right! The way he told the waiter off, bam!" SinB added in, giving a dab.
"Why did he help us, though? Perhaps, because of Yuna?" Sojung joined the fun. "Woo~" a commotion there caused by the girls as they moved closer to Yuna. "Come on, tell us about you two."
"What?! What is there to tell? We don't know each other that well, okay. We are enemies, remember?" Yuna gave a disgusted look to her friends.
"Come on, are you trying to fool us? I have never heard of enemies helping each other." Eunha rolled her eyes.
"Maybe he likes unnie?" Yewon guessed, sipping on her drink.
"Or maybe he is like this to everyone?" Yuna shook her head at Yewon's absurd comment.
"If he is like this to everyone, then why are you calling him bastard? He doesn't look that bad then." Sojung questioned.
Err... Yuna couldn't answer that question as well. She didn't understand why Jungkook did that just now too. She was trying to convince herself that what her friends just said were untrue.
"See? Even unnie doesn't know. I am sure that he likes you." SinB clapped her hands in confidence. "Stop your imagination, people. Despite him doing that, doesn't mean he is nice. Don't you guys remember what he did to me? I am still broke because of him."
Why did Jungkook do that? He doesn't know it too. He arrived at the restaurant, seeing a group of girls stuck at the entrance. Having a closer look, he saw Yuna. "So, it was really her..." recalling the scene that he saw while waiting for the traffic light.
He stepped forward and heard the words from the waiter, his brows twitched. Is he being defensive for Yuna now? After thinking about her a little too much?
He doesn't know. He only knows that he would feel awful whenever he sees her getting bullied. He admitted that he was a bastard when Yuna first entered into his life. He took her as a fun toy, definitely. But as some time goes by, he realised that Yuna is definitely a different girl from those he met. But not ganna lie, teasing her was fun.
Remember like how in elementary school, boys who love to pull girls hair is because they actually like them? We always choose to forget the fact that, this happens after when we grow up as well. Guys still usually bully the girls whom they are interested in.
"I will pay for the girls' room as well." Jungkook handed the cashier's his credit card after his meeting.
"It's nice meeting you, Mr Jeon. It's a pleasure to work with you."
"It's my pleasure too. Have a nice day." Jungkook replied, leading the men to the exit the room as he sat down to rest after they left.
Yuna POV
"Yah, how much do you think this will cost?" Eunha asked, picking up the last bit of vegetable in the plate.
"Err... Yewon, I guess you have to prepare your credit card." Yerin unnie smile apologetically.
"Told you guys not to order so much." Glancing at the table full of food but were all cleaned now, Sojung unnie sighed. "We were hungry..." the rest pouted.
Calling for the bill, a waiter came in. "There is no need for you to pay, ma'am. Mr Jeon paid for your room just now." With a bow, he left.
"What? Now he is treating us our meal?" SinB shrieked in excitement. "Free food?" Yerin joined, clapping in glee.
Why is he acting like that? First helping us, now paying for us. Where is that jerk Jungkook that I know? Asking me to pay for his expensive clothing, making me beg for his forgiveness?
"That's it. This is final, Jungkook likes Yuna unnie." SinB nodded in certain.
"I need to find him." I stood up, leaving the room, not caring about the noises behind me.
Blessed me, right after I closed the room door behind me, he opened his.
"Mr Jeon." I called, and he looked up. In that moment, I saw the confidence in his eyes being replaced by exhaustion. It's the first time seeing that look on his face.
Making sure that there were no one around us, I entered his room, closing the door behind me.
"Woah, Choi Yuna. I am impressed. Are you throwing yourself to me now?" with the same exhaustion in his eyes, he smirked.
He is too used to doing that. "I wanna ask, why did you pay for our dinner."
"Are you someone who can question my actions?"
