6: Ice Cream Parlor

Everything I Wanted - Billie Eilish

_______

"You are the most cutest little baby I've ever seen! Yes you are! Common give me a little kiss."

Jungkook glares murderously at the raven haired girl in front of him, placing his large hand over her face and shoving her back, "Fuck off."

Her 'charm' clearly hasn't changed.

Lisa scowls at him from under his hand and slaps it away, "Respect your eldest sibling!"

"You're older by twelve months!"

"Still," She huffs annoyedly and glances down to the full cup of untouched ice cream, "I don't even like strawberry ice cream. You already forgot my taste while being in college, I'm disappointed."

Oh he knew, he just wanted to piss her off.

Success.

Jungkook bites back a sheepish grin at her as he gave her his ice cream instead and took hers, making a wide smile form her lips as she eats his chocolate chip ice cream, "Thanks JK."

Jungkook didn't want to smile at her but couldn't fight it off as he finds joy in seeing his sister enjoying sweets. Something they weren't given the privilege of while they were growing up. Not like it was forbidden, they just couldn't afford it.

That's why whenever they did manage to get a lick of one, it was always a moment to treasure.

"So.... How's things back home?"

Lisa visibly tenses up to the question, wanting to avoid it actually, while gulping thickly before fixing her eyes out the window to the sidewalk of people enjoying the sunny day, "No different."

Well that doesn't look convincing.

"Is that so?" Jungkook hums unsure, doing a whole scan on her skin just to make sure she isn't hiding any bruises, "You've been avoiding going back to the house right?"

To his relief she slowly nods and exhales heavily, "Yeah, I don't go back but I've heard from the streets that mom is still cashing out that snow, and dad is still looking for you. Don't worry, not a ghost whispered where you slithering off to, even little gem."

It felt too familiar hearing Lisa talk in code with those loose slangs like how he used to speak back then, and Jungkook felt somewhat relieved that she is still talking to him this comfortably.

Even if he left for a better purpose in life, he still misses the life he used to live from time to time.

Without his parents being in the equation.

Or his little gem hating him.

It just feels nostalgic, not like he'd want to relive it either.

"Apartment is paid off completely and you shouldn't be getting any bills. I made sure Blue sticked with his end," Jungkook says softly and takes a bite of his ice cream, "Just keep your guard up hun."

"I always do. Besides, the nightmares still peer through my every window, cuddling me to breathe a day. You have nothing to worry about," Lisa says and suddenly smiles, "Oh I got you a little something!"

Jungkook furrows his eyebrows as his sister reaches to her backpack and suddenly pulls out a small bag. His eyes instinctively widens as Lisa hides it under her hand and slides it across the small table, "Thought college would be a little less fun without some munchies."

Oh how tempted Jungkook was, but he fought himself off so much to stop.

His veiny hands runs through his hair and he shakes his head at his sister, "No more dough, I have to stay focused."

Lisa tilts her head with furrowed eyebrows, "You still got little red right?"

"Yes, still works well," Her brother leans back with arms cross, eying her hand now, "Do you still do that shit? I told you to quit."

"No, I don't do it anymore," She huffs and slides it back to her backpack, "I just sell it. I need money somehow, and I don't want to touch the greens you left behind since that's for gem, in which he definitely won't accept it."

The ravenette tugs on his yellow hood over his head, leaning over the table, "I told you they were for both of you-"

"I don't want to feel useless okay?" She explodes stressfully, making a deep frown form Jungkook's lips, "Shits hard without you home. I don't want to feel dependent while you go big and I still remain in that shit hole! I have to survive somehow!"

Never has Jungkook wanted to make Lisa feel as though she would get left behind and forgotten. Truth is, once he was done and managed to get a stable job, he was going to try and help her and his little brother in anyway he could. Maybe even live together, but never leave them to the place he managed to escape his demons.

Where he couldn't take them with him.

Lisa never got to finish high school, more so because their father forced her home to be basically the mother since their actual mother was too busy selling her pussy away for dope.

Lisa's smart, street and book wise, and she could definitely do so much more than just sell bud and steroids out in the streets like Girl Scout cookies.

As for his little brother, who they refer to as gem since he's the actual treasure to their lives, he's walking the dark path Jungkook once walked under but in a more darker side. He began at the age of fourteen, arriving home with bruises on his body from being beaten from stupid gang members. Then Lisa found the stash of goodies in his room under his bed and told Jungkook, who practically snarled at him to drop the shit. His hatred for his eldest brother grew when he entered college, accusing him that he didn't care about either him or Lisa when that was not true at all.

Now he's eighteen, and just on the rouge. He lives with people he calls family, who follows the same dark path he is. No matter how hard Jungkook tried to reach out, his gem always gave him a cold shoulder, even to Lisa.

However Jungkook's agenda still stands. He will tear them out of that dump, no matter at what lengths he has to go in order to achieve it.

So Jungkook reaches over to his sister's shaking hand and clasps them with both of his, "I won't ever leave you behind. You are my sister, my blood, so is gem. Remember our promise? We will swim the waves like lightest dust of sand? Just be patient with me okay?"

Lisa stares into her brother's eyes with her quivering lips, nodding subtly as she always believes his words, "I will.... I just miss you..... We all do."

She really does. It just feels very empty and lonely without leaning onto her brother, that's why she wants to grow independent on her own so she won't have to feel this lonely.

She may be the eldest, but Jungkook always took the role of being the protective sibling between them. Sometimes it feels as though he's the eldest one.

Jungkook tears his eyes away from Lisa's upon hearing this, sighing in attempt to advert the subject elsewhere, "Tell Iodine that I will send her something through the mail soon."

This made Lisa's dim eyes suddenly glitter, "Would it be a portrait?"

"You know she loves those," Jungkook chuckles lowly, finally seeing the life breathe back to Lisa's eyes, "Shes been a very nice mother figure to us..... Sadly I just..... Couldn't stay."

Lisa twitches a frown and stares down at their hands, "She didn't want that for you Jungkook," She whispers, rubbing his hand with her palm, "She always believed you were capable of doing more than being in that hell. Sadly some demons still are trying to catch your scent, you left a pretty big mess back home."

Jungkook tugs a frown, "It wasn't my fault-"

"We know," Lisa cuts in, masking a forced smile, "You're safer here, yeah?"

The unease wouldn't shrug off Jungkooks body but after seeing his sister's reassuring smile, he slightly relaxes, "I love you little twerp."

"And you're still a jerk."

They both laughed it off to this, far too into their own little bubble to not be aware of the group of boys walking across the street in their commotion of laughter.

It was a nice day outside, very warm, so it was only obvious anyone would come to an ice cream parlor to enjoy the nice day.

One body from the group remains trailed back, inhaling a cigarette through his lips as he watches indifferently to the group of males in front of him, one of them being Jimin who is in the midst of explaining how he nearly threw up during football practice.

Jimin just loves being the center of attention, a little too much.

Well, in social settings. Sometimes he gets into his depressive episodes and he only desires to be alone.

Those moments are now rare since Jungkook came into the picture, now Jimin is always radiating in happiness.

Taehyung doesn't usually going out with a group of people. The only reason he's here is because Jimin invited him after he went over to his apartment in hopes to see Jungkook to annoy him but sadly he wasn't there. Jimin invited him to go in the meantime, and it's not like Taehyung was going to lock himself in the room all day when he already went out.

So now they're here, and Taehyung wanted nothing more than to just drown in his sheets and call it a day while continuing to blast Jungkook's phone with message just for the fun of it since he knows he's blocked.

Annoying him is definitely a new hobby he's developed thus far, and Jungkook always ignores him, sometimes even annoy him back but remains reserved.

Maybe they are blooming a dysfunctional friendship after all.

Perfect.

Taehyung wants nothing more than to have Jungkook grow comfortable around him.

It'll make things easier for what's to come in the future.

Just as Taehyung approached the ice cream parlor after throwing the cigarette on the ground and stepping on it, his eyes instantly catches onto someone. Something inside his body dropped to the ground upon seeing a familiar ravenette male with messy wavy hair on his head through the window of the ice cream parlor. The man is wearing a large yellow hoodie and the softest smile that Taehyung has ever seen before.

It's so.... Pure.

Taehyung was just about to dash inside to instantly annoy him, but instantly stops when he realized why Jungkook was smiling like that.

The reason being the girl in front of him, who he's in the middle of holding her hands.

A girl who Taehyung recognizes far too well.

A/N:
Ha ha ha wow I wonder how the next chapter is going to go ha ha ha.

So I usually read Lisa as a partner for Jungkook in most books, or just as a character that is bound to be hated. So I wanted to go a different direction and make her as his sibling instead, and maybe be liked hahaha

So.... There's a little brother.... Let's connect our minds for a moment.

.......

Yessss I like the way you think!

Hahaha I PURPLE YOU ALL!! <33
