My uncle drove me home. You heard it right, my uncle took the time out of his busy day and took me home himself. If that wasn't scary enough, you should hear the silence in the car.

That's scared me most.

My uncle finally parked in front of our house. He took a deep breath before turning to me.

"Lalisa, are you sure there is nothing between you and Jungkook?" He asked.

I gave a puzzled look. I first thought he was asked about this because he was just being protective, but now, how serious he was, it was more than that. I can sense he didn't want me to be interested in Jungkook.

"If we did, would there be a problem?" I ask him.

He took another breath and looked forward. "Lalisa, you don't know this man. I know you better, it would take a lot for you to be interested in dating a man in this lifestyle. So I pushed it aside, but now I'm starting to think something is going on."

"Uncle, I am a grown woman. So don't speak to me like I'm a teenager."

"Lalisa, please stay away from Jungkook." He begs.

My brow furrow, "But you said he was a good man."

My uncle turns to me. "He is, but..." my uncle's eyes sadden for a moment. And my heart raced for those few seconds. "There's much more to that man, and I don't want you close to him." I opened my mouth to speak but he shook his head, "Lalisa, just go inside and study. I'll take you to base tomorrow."

My uncle turned back to the front and unlocked the doors. He didn't give me a chance to say anything back. Ever since my father passed away, Uncle Yang has given me everything and he has never been a close book to me. This was the first time.

One side of me wanted to know why but the other side is telling me to just listen for once.

I got out of the car, and once I closed the door, my uncle drove off.

"There's much to that man."

I replay my uncle's words as I walk into the house. I know my uncle has seen a lot of stuff in his days in the military. He fought along with my dad when there was a small war between Lathua and Spenward (a/n: I made up a place)

For my uncle to say those heavy words, means something. But Jungkook doesn't seem like a man with so many secrets. He just seems like any ordinary soldier. He came here for a reason in hopes to find something and in the times he has been here, he has been shaped into this man.

I bang my head back against the door.

"Ah ya. Stop thinking about him. And just do what Samchon said."  I mumble to myself.

I went to my room to change into some shorts and an oversized hoodie. I studied for about four hours, the sun was setting and my stomach was growling.

I forgot to order something for tonight. I set my pencil and highlighter down, I wonder if my uncle will be home tonight.

There was a knock on my door.

I got up from my chair with a confused look. As I walked towards the door, I looked out the peephole and to my surprise, I saw Jungkook.

I open the door faster than I expected. When we were in front of one another, we didn't say anything at first. We just stared at each other.

I crossed my arm with a raised brow and he got out of his trance. He cleared his throat before talking

"I noticed General Yang was still at base and it was getting late." He stares at me for a moment. Then he showed me a bag of food. My eyes and smile widen at the sight of food. He slightly chuckled, "I assume you haven't had anything to eat."

I bit my lips hesitating what I should do. I look into my living room and the clock on my wall.

"You don't have to invite me. But if you do, I'll be gone once I'm done eating...." my eyes went back to Jungkook. "Before your uncle comes home, I'll be gone." He continued to explain.

I gave him a smile and stepped aside so he can come in.

I don't know what hidden secrets he has, but for now, I'll enjoy these moments.

As he took out the food out of the bag, I went to grab two water bottles. He had two black bean noodles, rice and kimchi. My mouth watered at the sight of food.

A small laugh caught my attention.

"What?" I ask Jungkook.

"You should eat me more. It's like you haven't ate in days when you see food." He tells me.

I grab one black bean noodle, "I eat. It's just today, I forgot to eat. I've been studying."

"How's the studying going?" He ask as he took a bite of rice and kimchi.

"It's good. I remember a lot of material. I just need to remember the dosage of certain medicine and what kind of medicine to not give people with certain conditions."

I look up to him and noticed he was smiling at me.

"What?"

He shook his head, "You seem like you already know."

"Yeah, I need more hands on experience, that's why I am working at base." He nodded his head in understanding. "Today didn't go as planned." I mumble.

Jungkook choked on his food. My eyes widened in surprise. I got up and grabbed the glass of water and handed it to him as I rub his back. He took a sip and calmed down.

When he recovered, he took a breath and gave me a thumbs up. I smile, that he was fine.

"Thank you." He finally tells me.

"You're welcome." I responded back.

My hands were still on his back. His eyes were on me, I wanted to look away but I couldn't. I don't know why, but I felt some kind of pull towards him. As we lean in, my eyes slowly shut and I can feel his warmth near me.

Then I felt cold.

I took a step back because Jungkook water spilled on me.

"Oh fuck. I'm sorry." Jungkook panics as he gets up and finds a napkin.

I stared at the water on the ground, and felt some kind resentment towards it. It sound silly and stupid right? But that's what I felt.

Jungkook came back and cleans the floor. When he was done, he turned to me. He hands me some napkins. I stared at it then him with confusion and anger. I snatched the napkin from Jungkook's hand and pats my clothes. I sat down aggressively, without looking at Jungkook. I felt Jungkook's eyes on me but I ignored it and ate.

Still feeling his eyes on me, I look up with cold eyes. "Hurry up and eat so you can leave."

And went back eating.
