She chuckles. "Were you expecting someone else?" She asks. I shake my head, I then feel Sam tug on my coat. "Oh! Jisung .. These are my kids." I say turning. She surprises me when she squats down. "You must be Sam. I've heard so much about you." She says. He throws her his signature bunny smile, much like mine. "And you must be Bella." She says. Bella just looks at her, and I can't help but feel this tension build up.
If Jisung felt it too, then she's good at hiding it. "Your father told me much about you but he never explained how beautiful you are." She says. Bella throws her hair over her shoulder and turns to walk back to my parents. "I get it from my mother." She was going to earn a serious talk from me later. "I'm so sorry." I apologize in behalf of Bella's inappropriate behavior. She looks up at me and mouths, 'its fine.' We're interrupted.
"And me!?" Sam asks, he always loves to be included. "Oh! You're the most handsome!" She says squeezing his cheeks. I witness his face turn a dark pink. "Dan appa?" He asks. She looks up at me the smiles, I can't help but smile back. "Of course. You're the most handsomest out of the whole room." She says. He smiles and walks away from my side and starts making sounds for her to pick him up, which she does. She stands up and I help her.
"Ger name?" He asks, becoming the little flirt I know. Sam has his way with the females. "Jisung." She says. He leans in and kisses her cheek, that little playboy.
"Wow! Sam I'm flattered." She says. He points to his cheek. She chuckles and kisses his cheek. "Jungkook, why don't you introduce us?" I hear my mom. I was completely distracted. "Oh! Right." I escort her closer to everyone. "Omma, appa. This is Jung Jisung. She was my lawyer during the case, and she helped me be proven innocent." I tell them. My mom pulls her into a hug. "Thank you so much for watching over my boy." I hear her say.
"No problem." She whispers back. My dad sticks out a hand and shakes her small one. "It's a complete pleasure Ms. Jung." He says. She bows her head. "Its a pleasure to meet you Mr. Jeon. Now I see where Jungkook gets his strength." She says. A smile splits his face, and I know he's impressed. "Wow! How is it you figure that?" He asks. She stands up straight and fixes Sam on her hip. "You can tell a lot from a hand shake sir." She says.
He looks down at his hand and I almost laugh out loud, he looked like a small child. She seems to be impressing everyone today. Everyone was quite fond of her. We sat at the table and the food arrived. "Appa! I want to sit next to Jisung." Sam says. So I let him take my seat.. I mean, not that I was planning on sitting next to her.. Or anything like that.
"Ah. Sam. You'll be sitting next to me today?" She asks. He nods, smiling cheekily. I take the seat across the table. "Yesh.. Your my girlfriend." He says. Everyone around the table laughs. "Sam." I say, a bit of embarrassment and anger peeked in my voice. I think she noticed so she looked at me and winks. "Of course I'm your girlfriend." She says. "Ooooooo!! Jungkook!! Sam beat you to the chase!" I almost crap myself as I hear Jimin say on the other side of the table.
Everyone starts laughing and teasing. "I'm so sorry." I whisper to her, I feel my face heating up to the highest degree. She blushes and shakes her head "No." She chuckles, "It's fine.. Really." She says as she looks down at her plate. I shoot Jimin a, 'bitch you better shut up or I'll pound your ass' look. He gets the just and quiets down. I hear glass clinking. Its my father. "I'd like to make a toast." He says. "Halmoni! But there's no toaster!" Sam yells. Everyone laughs.
"Yah! Sam. Not that kind of toast." He says. Sam chuckles to himself and pokes at his food, I adore that kid. "I'd like to dedicate this.. Speech." He watches his words because of Sam. "To my son Jungkook and Jung Jisung." He says. I look at Jisung and she looks at me surprised. "Oh.. No no.. Its fine Mr. Jeon. Its really fine." She says.
"No! I insist you've helped my familily out in a miraculous way my young lady. And for that you are not only a hero but you are also always welcomed in my family." Everyone claps. "Thank you Mr. Jeon.. Its an honor." She bows her head to him. "Jungkook!" My father starts, almost making me choke. My heart jumping into my throat almost making me gag on all the food that was in my mouth.
That's what I get for always stuffing my mouth like a little oinker. "You did a great job defending yourself and that makes me proud to call you my son. You've truly grown into the man I wanted you to be." He says. I'm completely confused, was I never considered his son until now? I just smile at him as if I knew what he was talking about. "Let's eat!" He says. I then look down at my empty plate. I hear a chuckle.
I look up and its Jisung. She leans over and grabs the tongs to serve me more noodles. "I guess nervous eating does that to you huh?" She asks as she sits back in her seat.
I just stare at her, "yeah.." Is all I say before being ripped away from my stance. "Jungkook!" I hear. I turn my head. Its Jimin, what does he want now? I just stare at him. "Can you pass the soy sauce?" He asks. I point in front of him. He smiles widely. "Oh! Haha." He chuckles before getting back to eating. I turn and look at Bella who hasn't eaten her first plate. "Bella." I call her. She doesn't even look at me. "Bella." I whisper deeply through gritted teeth.
She looks at me. "What!" She yells getting the whole tables attention. I look at everyone and apologize. I take her by the arm away from the table. "What is with your attitude?" I ask her. She doesn't look at me. "First its with Jisung and now this? What is your problem? Instead of being a brat you should be happy that I wasn't taken away from you." I tell her. She finally looks up at me.
"Why did you bring her here?" Emphasizing the word 'her.' I simply can not believe she's doing this right now. "What's wrong with me bringing a woman who helped me out, to dinner?" I ask her. Her eyebrows knit. "You're trying to replace mom." She says with anger in her voice and her eyes watering. I feel all this anger roar inside me, why would she think that? I kneel down and grab a hold of her arms.
"Don't you dare say that." I say through gritted teeth. She pushes me but I hold onto her. "No! You are! You are!" She pushes my face.
I pull her into a hug, she fights me furiously for a while until she gives in and cries in my arms. I pull her close, her body shuddering in my grasp. "Bella.. Please don't act like this.." I beg through sobs. She buries her face in my shirt and grips bundles of it in her hands. "I miss her dad.." She says. "I do too.." I say running my fingers through her soft light brown hair that resembled her mothers. She smelt like strawberries.
I pull away from her, she looks at me with her face red and puffy eyes. "Sorry dad.." She says. I stare at her for a while then wipe her tears with my thumbs. "Its okay princess." I say. I finally stand up, my legs aching. "Let's go back.." I tell her. She nods and we walk back to the table. We rejoin everyone. "Appa. Jisung is bootyful!" He says. I look at her and we busts out laughing. "Thank you Sam." She says, her face becoming pink. I clear my throat and she looks at me.
I just look into her eyes. "Was there something you had to say?" She asks. I slowly shake my head and look away. "Jungkook." I turn and see Abby at the end of the table. She then walks over to Bella and sets her hand on her head. I narrow my eyes to see how she would react. As she eats her noodles she stops suddenly and looks up slowly. She looks over both shoulders and stares at me.
I slowly smile at her. Her eyes widen as Abby says something in her ear. Her eyes begin to water. She then turns and looks directly at Abby. She smacks he hand over her mouth, but Abby places her finger over her finger. I'm extremely surprised that no one has noticed, but I guess everyone was so stuck in their conversations they didn't seem to care. Bella nods and Abby smiles. "I love you." I hear her whisper. "I love you my little Rose." Abby whispers.
And before our eyes she disappears. Bella then looks at me and smiles.

"Thank you so much for having me." Jisung thanks my parents and everyone. "Please come and visit us, you're part of the family now." My mom says. Jisung smiles and bows to her. "Yes please Jisung. You've done great for our family and we owe you." My father says. "Oh! No no.. You don't. Being here with you guys is a great enough payment." She says. My father grips her shoulder.
"We're having a barbeque this Saturday for Jungkook's birthday. Please come." He says. She looks at me then back at my father. "Sure." She says. "Great! I'm positive Jungkook would love to have you." He says speaking for me, when I was stand right there. Not that I didn't want her to go, its just that I can say it myself. "I'd love it if you'd go." Is all I'd say. If I could. I didn't notice that she was leaving. I run after her out the door.
"Uhm." Leaves my lips, causing her to stop and look a me. "Oh!" She smiles. "Jungkook." She says. "I have to go actually." She says. I nod. "Let me walk you to your car." I plead. "Its just down the ..." I cut her off. "I don't care. Just.. Please let me walk you." I plead. Even in the dim light of the restaurant I could tell she was blushing. "Okay .." She says. We get out of the restaurant and she starts down the block.
I didn't notice how many cars there were, was it really that packed when we came? I think its because of the new restaurant they opened across the street. "Thanks for coming tonight." I break the silence. She looks up at me and smiles. "Of course. You invited me. What? Did you think that I wouldn't show up?" She asks chuckling. I bite my lip. "No.. You don't seem like the kind of person to go against their word." I say.
She smiles even bigger if that was even possible. "I'm not.." She says, then she looks away. I slowly avert my eyes away from her. "Actually." I say. We both look at each other at the same time. "I'm sorry about the teasing tonight.." I apologize. She chuckles. "Oh no. Its fine. Believe me. It wouldn't be the first." She says. I smile. "Has anyone ever told you that you smile like a bunny?" She asks as we wait for the cross walk light.
I feel my face heat up real quick. She starts laughing. "No need to be all blushy Jungkook.. I'm just saying because Sam has the same exact smile as you.. Its cute." She says as she starts to walk across the street. I have no words. She laughs again. "Didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable and what not." She says. I look down at her. "No. Its fine." I say. She smiles and stops in front of a black old model mustang. My eyes widen at the glamorous interior of it.
"This is me." She says. "Really?" I ask. Taking a look at the front. "Yup. It took me two years to save up for it." She says. "Well. She's a beauty." I say stepping back from the car and back to where I stood before. I tuck my hands into my front pockets. She pushes her alarm and the car unlocks. "Thank you again for everything." I say. She smiles. "Anytime Jungkook." She says. "Thanks for walking me." She says as she fiddles with her car keys. "No problem..." I say.
"Have a great night.. Jungkook.." She says as she walks over to the drivers side. "Good night Jisung." I say. She smiles at me one time before she gets into her car. I then watch her pull out of her parking spot, I wave at her and she waves back before entering the road and driving off. For some reason I found myself watching her car until it was a shinny glare under the moon light.
