Jungkook watched as his wife scurried down the pathway to work, and sighed. He would've dropped her to school, but a letter that approved his acception into his job arrived, and he had to leave at the same time as her.

He didn't want the job, for he didn't like it. But for the sake of another income to the support themselves, he grit his teeth and took the job of an accountant. It's what most of the soldiers did after their return.

A smooth black suit hugged his bulky figure as he slid into the drivers seat of his Subaru. Roaring the engine to life, his fingers grip the steering wheel tightly, as his mind gets lost in thought with a deep frown etched on his face.

In a flash, a speeding car emerges from a side road, headed straight for his side and he jams the breaks with wide eyes. The other car does the same, skidding until their metal exteriors barely touched.

Jungkook rolls down his window, yelling.
"Are you fucking blind?!"
The driver yells back.
"You're the one that's blind! I almost crashed into you!"
A police officer knocks on Jungkook's window, and Jungkook looks up at him.

"Officer! Thank-"
"Please step out of the car, sir."
He says sternly, and Jungkook furrows his eyebrows, opening his door and stepping out.
It was then that he noticed a blaring fact.

His car had gone past the traffic lights, that were red. He closes his eyes, running a hand down his face with a hand on his hip.
"I'm so sorry, I-"
"You drove past a red light and almost got into an accident, that'll be W30,000."

The driver of the other car glared at Jungkook, now driving away. Jungkook pulls out his wallet, handing the officer the money. He glares at Jungkook as well, and allows Jungkook to go on his way.

He resumed his drive to work, now a few minutes late. He hits his steering wheel in frustration, running a hand through his hair.

First day of work. What a great way to start it.

Eunbi slumps into her chair, as the students stroll out of the classroom for break. She sighs in exhaustion, downing the last sips of her coffee.

A knock is heard on the door, and she snaps her head to the door.
"Hey Leah.."
Eunbi says with a small smile.
"You look like shit."
She says with a laugh, pulling a chair next to Eunbi.

Leah was the teacher of the next class, and the two of them had gotten quite close over the span of time since Eunbi joined.

Eunbi runs a hand down her face.
"I didn't know teaching would be this
hard."
"You'll get used to it, eventually."
"Do your students do the same to you?"
Eunbi asks, her voice slightly wavering as Leah's lips purse into a thin line.

"Yes.. but I don't bother to listen, they're just hormonal wackos that make fun of everyone they see. They regret it when they're older."
Eunbi nods, leaning back into her chair.

"It must be hard for your husband and you."
Leah says softly.
"What do you mean?"
Eunbi asks, confused.
"You haven't heard?"
Eunbi shakes her head.

"Well, I hate to be the one that breaks it you, I'm sure your husband would've heard."
Leah leans forward, her voice lowering to a whisper.
"The government will compulsorily recruit soldiers that have fought in the war, and men from the age of 25 onwards."

Eunbi's blood runs cold, as she stutters.
"H-how.. Jungkook didn't t-tell me though! Are you sure about this?"
Leah nodded.
"My sister works with close relations to government officers, and even though they're stalling it with the public, they've already confirmed it behind closed doors."

Eunbi buries her face in her hands, shaking her head. Leah wraps a hand around her shoulders, gently running her arms.
"I just got him back.."
Eunbi says, voice barely above a whisper.
The wheels in her mind begin to turn.

Jungkook reads the news every morning. Why did he hide this from me? Did he not want me to worry?

That explains his strange behaviour yesterday..

Dear Kookie, did you think I would never find out?

_______________________________

Jungkook tiredly enters the house, and startles when he sees his wife sitting on the couch expectantly with her legs crossed, and arms folded.

She wore a serious expression on her petite face, and Jungkook shuffled on his feet awkwardly.
"You're back early."
He mumbles, loosening his tie and unbuttoning the first button on his satin shirt.

"Mhm."
She hums, still staring at him.
"Are you alright, honey?"
He asks, kicking off his shoes near the door with a worried feeling brewing inside him.

"Never been better."
She states bluntly.
He stares at her for a few moments and then nods, walking up the stairs. A flying object hits the back of his head and he yelps.

"What was that for?!"
He whines, picking up the cushion from off the floor.
"I never knew you were this good at keeping secrets!"
Eunbi yells, and Jungkook looks at her with wide eyes.
"Babe, what are you-"

His facade drops as soon as she pulls a newspaper out of her bag, throwing it on the table. He swallows the thick feeling in his throat, walking towards the table and glancing at the paper.

He droops his head, holding the bridge of his nose in defeat.
"Did you think I wouldn't find out?"
She asks, her voice now beginning to waver.
"This is national news, for Christ's sake. Did you think I wouldn't see this?"
"W-we just got back and things were going so well, I didn't want you to-"

He's cut off by a harsh grip around his collar, jerking him forward as his lips crash against hers. Taken aback, he responds to her kiss without hesitation. With his large palms resting on her ass, their lips seperate as they take in the air they lost.

He leans his forehead on hers, looking into her glassy eyes.
"I'm sorry, I just didn't want to worry you."
He says softly and she shakes her head.
"You don't even have to apologize. Yes, I'm worried and afraid, but this only makes me want to spend more time with you."

With her arms around his neck, he leans forward again, connecting their lips once more for a short, sweet kiss.
"We're free for the rest of the day. What do you have in mind?"
Jungkook whispers in a low voice, his breath fanning her ears.

Her eyes flutter shut as she pecks his neck sweetly.
"I have an idea."
She says with a smug smile, leaving Jungkook wanting more.
