07 | A Lunch Meeting
We made it to the hotel and we said goodbye to our driver, and we headed inside.
I was feeling much better and I wasn't sick anymore which was great, but I was feeling tired from the interview. Im probably gonna take a nap when we get to our room.
We walked to the elevator and we clicked the button to our floor.
"Did you have fun today?" I asked Caro, who was busy looking at her phone.
She put her phone away and looked at me. "Yeah of course I did, today was a dream come true. Thanks to you!" She gave me a side hug. "I'm still shocked that I got their numbers. I'm soo happy!"
She did her little happy dance and I laughed at her. It was good to see her really happy.
The door to our floor opened and we went out, we walked to our room.
I quickly opened the door and took off my shoes. Then ran to my room to lay down. I was definitely ready for a 3-hour nap.
I got up and walked to the bathroom to change into more comfortable clothes. I went for an oversized t-shirt and shorts, I also took off my makeup and washed my face.
Then I quickly ran back to my room and jumped onto my bed. I got comfy under my covers and I slowly drifted off to sleep.
*****
When I woke up, the time was 6 pm. I was napping for about 3 hours and felt much more energized after the nap.
I got out of my bed and walked to the living room. Caro was nowhere to be seen. I looked in the kitchen and she wasn't there, I then checked her room and she also wasn't there.
I looked around for a note or something, but there wasn't one. I was getting nervous.
I paced back and forth through the living room. "Where could she have gone? *Gasp* Did she get kidnapped?" I asked myself.
An idea popped into my head, "I should call her, why am I so dumb? I should've thought of this earlier." I ran to my room and got my phone from the nightstand.
I dialed Caro's number, it started ringing.
After a bit, she finally answered. "Hello?"
I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders when she answered. "Where the hell are you?! Why aren't you here?! Did you get kidnapped?!" I scowled at her.
"Jeez, relax I am fine, I just went out to get us some food."
"Well, you could have left a note or something." I put my hands on my hips.
"Hehe, I forgot to oops. Well anyway, I stopped by a convenience store and bought some snacks. I also got some dinner for us. I'll be back in a few."
"Alright, be careful and go quickly!"
"Yes, mother." I heard her laugh before the call was cut.
I threw myself onto the sofa and laid there for a bit. I grabbed to remote and turned on the tv. There was a show playing, and it was 'We Got Married'. I loved this show.
I was watching for a bit when the front door swung open, and there stood Caro holding a bunch of bags.
I walked over to her and grabbed a few of them from her since she looked like she was struggling.
"Ohh gosh, it's cold out there."
"Why'd you get so much?" I put the bags down on the kitchen island and started searching through the bags.
"That's not even that much, it's mostly snacks." She put the remaining bags down and I started taking things out.
"Ohh and I also met this lady at the convenience store, and she said that if we wanted any fresh veggies and fruits we should go to the market early tomorrow morning."
"Are we gonna go?" I asked while putting things away into the cupboards.
"Yeah, we should, so that we can cook some actual food. She also said that the foods at the market are way cheaper than the ones in the grocery stores."
"Alright, but what time should we leave?"
"Maybe around 7 am so that we can get lots before people start flooding in, you know."
I nodded and we put the rest of the stuff away, then we ate our dinner while watching 'We Got Married'.
*****
It was bright and early in the morning, Caro and I decided to wake up at 7 so we could leave at 7:30. The market that we were going to was a 10-minute walk from the hotel.
I had already taken a quick warm shower and I put on a cute yet warm outfit.
Caro was in the kitchen heating up some of our leftover food from last night, while I finished my makeup in the bathroom.
Today I had a lot of things planned to do. Caro and I are going to the market, then I need to go and rent a recording studio for a few days since I need to record a song cover, then I also need to rent a dance studio since Caro and I needed to practice dance.
When I finished, I grabbed my phone and my camera and I went out to the kitchen.
I helped Caro set the table and we sat down to eat. "Are we gonna walk to the market?" I questioned taking a bite from my food.
"Yep, it's kinda colder out today but we should be fine. It's only 10 minutes away anyway."
The market was an indoor market. Usually, they would be outdoor but since it's winter it's indoors.
We finished our food and we headed out. I also started vlogging our journey.
Once we got out of the warm building, the cold winter breeze slapped us in the face. It was freezing cold, thanks to Caro we have to walk 10 minutes in this cold weather.
"Just great, it's really cold and I don't think this will keep me warm," Caro says shivering.
I looked down at what she was wearing. "Who in their right mind would wear thin leggings and a thin jacket out during the wintertime?"
"Well, I didn't think it would be this cold. At this point, I'll freeze to death."
"Well sucks to be you. Unlike you, I decided to dress warm today. But it is still kinda cold." I shoved one of my hands into my pocket in an attempt to keep it warm, whilst the other was holding my camera vlogging.
The walk was quick since we were speed walking. We pushed open the doors to the building and it was instantly warmer.
"Ahh, that feels good." Caro's face was red and her hands were too. I on the other hand was ok.
We walked into the market and it was already buzzing with people. The place was huge and the were stands of food everywhere.
We walked around and then we started buying things. We bought a variety of fruits, vegetables, and meats. We put them all into the reusable bags we brought with us.
Everything was cheap just like what Caro said, there were so many things to choose from too.
Once we finished shopping, we went to a small stall that sold tteokbokki, or spice rice cakes. We ordered a big bowl to share as well as fishcakes and some kimbap. We sat down and waited for our food.
Since we were early to get here, there were many people at first. But now that we were done, it was jam-packed in here.
We had just gotten our food when I got a call from someone. I quickly took my phone out of my pocket and looked at the caller id.
It read 'Jeon Jungkook'. I looked up at Caro in shock.
"Who is it?" She questioned. I showed her my phone and her eyes widened in shock. "Well, what are you waiting for, answer it!"
I quickly answered the call and brought my phone up to my ear.
"Hello? Hello? Umm, I can't hear you, hold on a sec." I said I could hear anything in the other line since it was too loud here. I quickly got up and walked outside, I motioned to Caro that I was heading out and she gave me a thumbs up.
I walked outside to the front of the building. It was cold but I needed to bear with it.
"Hello?" I asked hoping he was still on the line.
"Ohh hi." His voice sounded a little raspy as if he just woke up.
"Hi, sorry about earlier it was quite loud inside."
"It's fine, am I bothering you? Are you busy?"
"Ohh no-no. We were just out shopping at the market."
"Okay good."
"Why did you call, did you need something?"
"Ohh umm yes. Actually, I was wondering if I could talk to you over lunch later, I wanted to ask you something. That's if it's ok with you."
"Ohh well, it's fine with me, but couldn't you just tell me over the phone?"
"Well, I think it would be better if we talked about it in person. It's kinda important I guess you could say."
"Okay, umm where do you want to meet up?"
"We could meet up at this restaurant called 'Eomma's Kitchen'. They have great food there you'd love it."
"Alright I'd love to, what time did you want to meet?" I was getting nervous but I was excited.
"How about at 11?"
I looked at the time on my watch, it read 9:34 am. "Sure why not, I guess I'll meet you there?"
"Yeah, I guess you will." He chuckled softly. "See you."
"Alright, bye!" Gosh, why am I so awkward?
"Bye." He cut the call.
I am shocked. "I can't believe I am meeting up with Jungkook. I wonder what he wants to talk to me about? Did I embarrass myself earlier? Was I really awkward?" Thoughts were running through my head, I was starting to overthink.
I shook my head and I went back inside. I skipped back to where Caro was.
She had already started eating the food. "So why'd he call?" She asked me with a small smirk plastered on her face.
"He called and said that he wanted to meet up for lunch later."
Her smirk widened, "So like a date?" She playfully teased me.
"No, it's not a date. He just wanted to talk about something important. It's for business." I blushed a little.
"Yeah, sure it is." She sat back in her chair and crossed her arms, she was smiling from ear to ear.
"It's is, now eat before I finish this all." I grabbed my chopsticks and started eating.
"Business my ass." She teased then she also started eating.
She didn't pry any further, not that I wanted her to. I was starting to get curious as to what he wanted to talk about. I guess we'll have to see.
*****
Caro and I had just finished shopping at the market, and we were now headed back to the hotel.
We were carrying a bunch of bags filled with a bunch of food. It was still really cold out but we were unbothered as we walked.
There wasn't any sun since it was pretty cloudy. But even without the sun, it was still really pretty outside.
As we were nearing our hotel, Caro stepped onto the parking lot ground but there was ice and she started slipping. She grabbed onto me almost making me fall along with her. We were sliding around on the ice trying not to fall, we were laughing at each other when we almost fell. I even shed a few tears of joy from laughing too much. I just wish that I caught that moment on camera.
We made our way across the slippery parking lot and we went into the building. The ride up on the elevator was quick since we couldn't stop laughing at what happened earlier.
Once we made it to our hotel room I put the stuff down in the kitchen.
I grabbed my camera and started vlogging as Caro and I put the groceries away. As we were doing that I told the story of what happened in the parking lot. It was mostly us laughing instead of me actually telling the story.
I finished putting the last item into the fridge and then I headed to my room to change.
This wasn't a date but I still wanted to look somewhat presentable so I decided to wear a pair of pants, and a white shirt. I am also gonna wear my oversized pink jacket and my ugg boots.
I quickly touched up my makeup and fixed my hair. I looked at the time and it read 10:11 am, I should leave now so that I would get there at about 10:40.
I grabbed my phone and put it in my purse along with some other things.
I went out to the living room to find Caro watching a movie with a bunch of snacks surrounding her.
I shook my head at her. "Tsk tsk tsk, Henry oppa wouldn't be happy to see you like that if he were here."
"Well he's not, and besides I don't eat like this all the time." She smiled innocently.
I laughed and turned to head out. "Well, imma get going now." I was halfway out the door. "Make sure to eat lunch!"
"Yes, mom!" I heard her yell as I closed the door.
I walked into the elevator and headed down. I checked on Google maps earlier to see how far the restaurant was. It was a 30-minute drive from here.
I walked out into the cold outdoors. I was a little colder than earlier, maybe I should've dressed a little warmer.
I shivered a little as I walked to the bus stop across the road from the hotel.
I waited a bit for a bus to come, when the bus got here I got in and scanned my bus card, I walked to the back of the bus and sat near the window.
The ride was quiet but it was a good kind of quiet. I peered out the window as we drove. The scenery was beautiful, something I would die to see every day.
The big tall buildings, the small restaurants, and the streets dusted in some snow. It looked perfect.
After a long 30 min drive, we made it to the restaurant. I quickly clicked the stop button and stood by the door waiting for it to open. When the bus stopped I got out and walked towards the restaurant.
The exterior of the restaurant felt very homie as if I was at my grandparent's house.
When I opened the door the smell of delicious Korean food hit me. My mouth instantly started to water.
Just like the exterior, the interior design also felt very homie. I was amazed.
Jungkook's POV:
We had just finished our interview with Zoey and Caroline, and we were currently headed to a photo shoot.
I was still amazed at how well Zoey sang. Her voice was so unique, I feel like I could listen to it all day.
I pulled out my phone and searched her song channel on YouTube. I watched a couple of her videos, and she was beyond amazing.
Jimin hyung who was sitting beside me saw that I was watching one of Zoey's videos. "She has a nice voice."
I looked over at him, "Yeah she does, I love how unique her voice is."
"You know, you should a duet with her."
"A duet?"
"Yeah, why not." Hobi hyung said turning to look at us from his seat.
"But do you think she'd even want to?" I looked at the two of them.
"Why wouldn't she. I mean, you have an amazing voice." Jimin hyung said.
"Just try asking her, maybe she'll agree." Hobi hyung said.
"I don't know. I'll think about it first."
Jimin hyung have me a thumbs up. I looked out the window and thought to myself 'Would she want to do a cover with me? Maybe she won't. Maybe she will.' I sat there thinking for a bit until we arrived at the shoot.
I guess my thoughts will have to wait till later.
*****
We were finished with our schedule for today. It was now 8 pm and we had just arrived at our dorms.
I was exhausted, so I went to my room and laid down on my bed. I still have decided whether or not to ask Zoey.
I shook my head into my pillow trying to shake away all my thoughts, but it just kept coming back to me. Maybe I should do it? Or maybe not?
I ended up staying awake most of the night thinking about whether or not to ask her.
I woke up at around 9:30 am. I made the decision, I am gonna call her and asked her if she wanted to meet up for lunch. Then I will talk to her about this collab.
The day before, I had already asked my managers if it was ok that I did a collab with Zoey. And they said it would be great.
So here I am laying in bed thinking about go I should say it to her.
"Zoey do you want to meet up with me for lunch?" No, not like that. It sounded weird.
"Do you wanna grab lunch with me?" Ugh, that sounds weird too.
Why is this so hard, I only need to ask her to meet for lunch. I'm not usually this awkward.
I grabbed my phone and looked at the time it was 9:38. You know what, I'll just call her and we'll see how this goes.
I looked through my contacts and found her name. I clicked call and it started ringing.
When she picked up, all I heard was a bunch of Loud voices. Where was she at 9 in the morning?
"Hello?" I tried talking but it seems as if she could hear me.
"Hel-? Hello? Umm, I can't hea-, -on a sec." I couldn't really hear what she was saying.
The noise started to die down a little, maybe she went outside.
"Hello?" I heard her voice perfectly this time.
"Ohh hi." I am so awkward.
We talked about everything and it went pretty smoothly. The conversation went by better than I had expected.
I got out of my bed and headed to the bathroom to shower. Since it was still early, I didn't need to rush or anything.
I finished showering and I put on some black pants and an oversized plain white shirt.
I finished getting ready and I headed out to the living room. The others were sitting in the living room watching a movie.
"Good morning everyone!" I chirped.
They all looked at me.
"Wow, you look good today. Where to?" Jin hyung said.
I grabbed some milk and cereal and poured them into a bowl.
"I'm meeting up with someone." I smiled at them.
"Oh, is it Zoey? Did you ask her?" Jimin hyung said looking really excited.
I nodded my head and smiled widely.
All the boys started giving each other high fives. "Our baby kookie is making a good decision." Namjoon hyung said.
I walked over to them with my cereal and say down on the couch.
"Well, we are going to talk about it over lunch."
"Are you excited?" Hobi hyung said.
Everyone's attention was focused on me instead of the movie they were watching.
"Well, I do t want to get my hopes up in case she declined my offer."
"She wouldn't decline. You guys are both great artists, it would be amazing to have you guys do a cover." Yoongi hyung said.
"I hope so," I said taking a bite from my cereal.
We talked a bit more on the topic and then we watched the rest of the movie.
*****
It was now 10:20 am and I was headed out to the restaurant. I wanted to get there early so that she wouldn't have to wait on me.
It was pretty cold outside so I wore a warm jacket and I also have a beanie and a scarf so I'm not cold.
I went out to my car and started driving out of the parking garage. The restaurant was only 10 mins from our dorms. The members and I went there a lot back when we were just trainees. It was one of my favorite places to go.
The drive was quick since there wasn't much traffic out. The weather wasn't the best so there were many people outside.
There weren't any parking spaces in front of the street near the restaurant so I had to park a little further down.
I go out of my car and locked it, then I started walking to the restaurant. My hands started getting cold so I put them into my pockets.
Out of all days, today had to get really cold. I walked a little faster so I would freeze to death.
I opened the door to the restaurant and the smell of delicious food hit me. The smell made me hungry.
As I walked in, the owner Mrs. Kim saw me and she hurriedly came to me. She enveloped me in a tight hug.
"Yahh jungkookie! It's been so long since I've seen you kookie. How are you?"
"I'm great. How are you?"
"Ohh in fine, what brings you here? Come take a seat."
She brought me to where the members and I usually sat, which was near the window upfront.
"I'm here to have lunch with someone," I say taking a seat.
"Ohh that's great! Are they coming soon? Do you want me to get you any drinks?"
"She'll be here soon, and I think I'll order when she gets here."
"Ohh so it's a girl." Mrs. Kim says with a wink.
I laughed, "Yes it is a girl."
She smiled, "Well I'll be back to you when she gets here. I need to go take care of some things in the kitchen. Okay?"
I nodded and she patted my back before walking away.
I grabbed my phone out of my jacket to see what time it was. It was exactly 10:40 am. I turned my phone off and set it down.
When I looked up, Zoey entered the restaurant. She was looking around at the place amazed.
I hope this goes well!
