Chaeyoung PoV

Jungkook opened the door in my side of the car and helped me down. 

The sun suddenly showed up today, after that sad and full of tears breakfast. He wanted me to say sorry to Jiyoon for not taking care of her well for the past week, and have a little bonding today. 

He held my hand in his and closed the car door with his other hand. 

"Yeobuseo? Jennie-noona?" he answers his phone. "Eo, I'm picking up Jiyoon with Chaeyoung today."

"..Ani, don't worry, noona, and I think you should talk it out with her personally," he says. "Arasseo, I'll see you and Taehyungie-hyung? Annyeong!!!" 

He smiles and slides his phone inside his pocket. Looks like someone got his teasing today. 

After staring at him for so long, he drags me to the waiting area. Where the other parents were also waiting for kids to leave school. 

Among all of the moms here, I'm the youngest and I barely am friends with them. I don't really get along with their ideology, because I'm younger and they're older.

When Jungkook and I was about to stand near the school's door, a lot of the moms and babysitters were gasping. So I looked at them, and saw them drooling over Jungkook. Then I looked at my hand, that were intertwined with his. 

I see. 

That's why.

"Excuse me," one of the moms patted Jungkook. 

Jungkook and I turned around, still with our hands intertwined.

"Yes?" both of us asked, together. 

"Could you be..Jeon Jungkook-ssi?" she smiled. 

He and I looked at each other for a brief second. 

Then the mom screamed, "Oh, my God! Who is your child here?! I'll make him or her friends with my daughter!" 

"Also my child!"

"Mine too!" 

"They'll be best of friends with mine!" 

But I recognized the mom who talked to Jungkook. She and Jennie-eonnie always see each other in the principals office. Both of them fight a lot, like how her daughter fights Jiyoon. 

Although, she is a big fan of Jennie's clothing line, she still makes sure that her daughter gets to be the spotlight of the school. That was when I was still the one going to the school and talk it out with this mom. 

When Jennie came to school for Jiyoon and the principals office, this mom just suddenly bowed down and praised her. The principals office session were ended fast because Jennie gets what she wants. 

"Her daughter is the one who bullies Jiyoon a lot," I whispered to Jungkook's ears. 

He nodded with his mouth open. Then he looked at the mom and cleared his throat. 

"I believe your daughter is Ahn Seung Yoon?"Jungkook asked. 

Mrs. Ahn, I believe, clapped her hands and smiled, "You know my child? She's the kindest and friendliest!"

Jungkook scoffed and put on a little smirk, "I'm here for Park Ji Yoon, who I believe, your daughter bullies a lot?"

The look in Mrs. Ahn's face came from happy to scared. 

"Are you..Jiyoon-ssi's dad?" Mrs. Ahn asked, now frightened. 

I wanted to shout: "Yeah, he is" but I couldn't because he still does not know. 

"Apparently, yes," Jungkook said.

I looked at him. 

It's like he knows, but then he doesn't know the truth. 

The school bell rang and the kids started to run out to their parents. I turned around, and saw Jiyoon walking towards the door, reading some flash cards in her hand. 

When she stepped out of the building, her eyes were still on the flash cards. Kind of reminds me of me when I used to play the flash card game for a good memory. 

"Jiyoon-ah!" I called. 

She lifted her head, "Eomma!" 

Jiyoon ran to me. I bent down and pulled her in a hug. Then I stood up, carrying her. 

Mrs. Ahn was still looking at the 3 of us. As Jungkook came to Jiyoon and ruffled her hair, making her laugh. 

"It was nice meeting you, Mrs. Ahn," Jungkook bowed. 

Then we left. With me carrying Jiyoon and Jungkook walking besides me. 

"I'm sorry, I didn't pick you up from Aunty Jennie," I said and kissed her. 

Jungkook laughed, "Sunshine, your mother came to me crying last night."

Jiyoon also laughed, "Really? Did slow dancing work?"

"Your idea worked perfectly," he smiled and they both laughed. 

"Both of you planned on me like this?" I asked. 

"Secret!" they replied together. 

Jiyoon wraps her arms around my neck and looks at me, "But eomma, can I stay with you again? Jennie-eomma always makes me eat carrots."

She rolled her eyes. 

"And I don't like the babysitter. I want Miss Rachel to babysit me!" she complain. 

"Now, now, not everybody gets what they want--"

"What're you talking about, Chae?" Jungkook interrupts. "If that's what you want, sunshine. I'll ask Rachel to babysit you."

I smiled as Jiyoon and Jungkook talked. 

And I kind of was happy that Jungkook parked far from the school building. Both of them were arguing about things, later laughing about it, talking about random stuff, answering each other's questions. 

Now, they were arguing about a topic related to Spongebob. Both of them were fighting about what the name of Mr. Crab's daughter is. They know she's a whale, but they don't know her name. 

Until I got tired of them fighting. 

"Her name is Pearl, now stop fighting!" I said. 

"See! I told you her name was Pearl!" Jiyoon shouted first. 

"No, I said it first!" Jungkook answered back. 

I stopped walked, making Jungkook stop also, "To be fair, I said it first. Jungkook, open the car before I make both of you my 1 year breakfast, lunch and dinner!" 

Jungkook hurriedly opened his car and I put Jiyoon inside, fastening her seatbelt before closing her door. Then Jungkook opened my door, and closed it too. He ran around to the other side, and sat on the driver's seat. 

He got something in the small compartment in front of my seat, and gave it to Jiyoon then grabbed some more and gave it to me. 

"I think we should buy more chocolates, appa," she said as I see her chewing the chocolate through the mirror. 

I sighed.

"Is this what both of you do every time you pick her up?" I asked him. "Argue, fight, argue, fight, agree, enter car, eat the chocolate, go out to a nice restaurant, so on and so forth?"

"Yes," both of them answers. 

I tried to show him that I was annoyed about it.

But deep inside, I was really happy. 

He's just like his father. A parent and a best friend. 

They both get along pretty well. Both of them have their antics and routine, that they never grow old with. 

And you can see how much she smiles whenever she and Jungkook talk. It's how she smiles when I always tease her with her crush in school, or how smart she is. 

"Hachew!" Jiyoon sneezes. 

She rubs her nose and sounded like she has a cold. 

Yeah, it's the time of the year where Jiyoon gets colds. The weather will turn hot or cold, and her body is not used to it. 

As I was trying to look for Jiyoon's emergency nose vapor rub in my bag, Jungkook turned to face her, still sitting on the driver's seat. 

"Aigoo," he says and holds a tissue on Jiyoon's nose. 

She blew the mucus on her nose out. When she stopped, he arranged her hair and looked worried. 

"Let's drink something hot?" he asked her.

Jiyoon nodded, "I want eomma's hot coco."

"Alright, let's drive home first, sweetheart," I said. 

Jungkook nods and turns on the car then drove to his apartment. 

We both talked to each other as Jiyoon fell asleep during the car ride. 

He constantly asked about her cold. Whether she'll be alright and all that. When there's a stop light, he'll look back at her and watch her. 

Whenever he did that, my heart felt warm. 

And when the light turned green, he faced back to to the road and drove.

"Don't you think she needs medicine or something to drink?" he asks me. "We can stop by a pharmacy and buy."

I chuckle, "Jungkook, she's only having a cold. It's normal because of the weather. I'll only give her antibiotics when it gets worse than what she has now."

He placed his right hand on the car's gearshifts and looked frustrated.

"But what if--"

"I'm her doctor too, you know," I smiled and put my hand on his. "Don't worry, I'll know what to do."

"You sure? Nothing stupid, okay?" 

I knew what he meant. 

He then shook his head to the right and pouted, "I'm sorry, I brought that up suddenly."

"No, actually. It's true, it was stupid."

"Let's end that conversation here, shall we?"

Then the monitor in his car lit up. 

"You have an incoming call from Cole Sparman, please connect your mobile device to answer," it said. 

He grabbed his phone from the small water containers, and tapped it on the connector. I made sure that his eyes were on the road, as I don't want to get into an accident like those romantic dramas. 

Where they make up and get into an accident, then one of them forgets the other, the other struggles to move on, etc, etc. 

"You are now connected, please click the answer button."

"Chae, can you click it?" he asks. 

I tapped the screen like what he instructed. 

"Yeobuseo? Jungkook?" we both heard Cole. "Are you driving?"

"Yeah, it took long to connect. I forgot the headset at Busan, sorry," he apologized.

"Nah, that's fine. Is Chaeyoung there with you?"

"She is, also Jiyoon. Why?"

There was a 2 second silence, "Nothing. Is that why you didn't go to work today? You've had more than enough rest time, Kook."

"Yeah, I know. Chaeyoung and I talked things through, like--"

"What did you guys talk about?"

I was listening to their conversation, carefully. 

It was as if Cole wants Jungkook to know about the little secret we share. 

"Uhm, like taking care of Jiyoon?" Jungkook laughed awkwardly. "But that's fine. Why'd you call, by the way? Did appa want to see me?"

"No, he's having his annual check-up," Cole said and clicked his tongue. "There's important things your dad wants you to read, and I left them here in your office. The blue envelope, read it first, arasseo? It came from your dad and your uncle's court session."

"Aish," Jungkook closed his eyes as we stopped in another red light. "I forgot to read those things again! I'll do it tomorrow morning, and can you do me another investigation?"

"Sure, Kook. What's it?"

"Taehyung-hyung's love life and Hoseok-hyung's girlfriend, Wendy-noona."

"Info, please?"

"For Taehyung-hyung, I just want to tease. But Wendy-noona seems to hide something from Hoseok-hyung, at least a little news about her."

"Alright, drive safe. I'll hang-up."

When Cole ended the call, my arms were folded and I was looking at Jungkook. He looked at my side to see the mirror, then spotted me and smiled. 

"She's a friend," he told me and smiled. 

But I was still feeling upset. 

"You're my girlfriend, aren't you?" 

I was taken aback with his words and I looked at him. He was laughing and smiling. 

"I don't need to ask you, anymore, do I?" he smiled. "The name: 'honey' or 'baby' sounds good too, doesn't it?"

"Yah, Jeon Jungkook!" I slapped his arm. 

Then he stopped the car near the side walk and grabbed my chin, softly.

"Hmm," he thought. "Maybe not here, someone's sleeping."

His eyes moved to the side and I followed it. He pointed to Jiyoon, who was sound asleep.

Happy Jeon Family.
