▪▪ The Ramen Night ▪▪

The sound of the door clicked with the sounds of plastic bags and shoes ruffled startled Nahee who was in the bedroom room, drying her hair with a towel. She combed her long, straight hair with her fingers as she walked towards the door. She then took a peek at the living room from the door.

The kitchen and the living room were connected, which made it clear for Nahee to hear, "jagiya, come out! I bought us ramen."

Nahee blinked her eyes multiple times. She scratched her earlobes. "Do I hear him right?" She mumbled. Pointing at herself, she added, "jagiya?"

Only the sound of metal pot being placed on the stove was in the house at that time. The sound of Nahee mumbled was also clear that it reached to the kitchen and Jungkook answered, "who else is here if the 'jagiya' is not you?!"

"He's right."

"Kim Nahee, come out and help me!"

"Okay, okay! I'm coming!" Nahee said as she closed the door behind her. A dark, damp spot at the length of her hair could be seen at the back of her pajamas. She could feel the wetness that hit against her back, she took a grip of her hair and slid it on one of her shoulder.

The girl stood behind her boyfriend and the smell of spices went into her nose. The steam from the pot went out through the window that was opened ajar. She could feel the cold wind of the night blew into the area but it was bearable as the heat from the steam warmed them up.

Jungkook thought Nahee hadn't out of the room yet and he didn't realise that she had been behind him, watching him making ramen. He turned around and almost called her name again, but he jumped, finally noticing her presence behind. "I don't know you're here."

Nahee showed a dumb smile and giggled. She then asked, "what help do you need?"

"Cook for me something."

The girl's eyes widened as she cried out, "cook?!"

Jungkook nodded. "You can cook, aren't you?"

Nahee timidly replied, "no..."

"No?"

Still with the timid voice, the girl asked, "do I look like I can cook though?"

The man looked at her while blinking his eyes multiple times. "I remember you brought me pancakes."

"Those... My brother made them. I told you, remember?"

Jungkook made a glance at her. "Ahhh, right! But whatever. I want to know what you're capable of. So nevermind. We'll have ramen," he said and then showed her a smile as his hand turned off the stove. He then moved on to get bowls from the cabinet above his head.

Nahee watched her boyfriend washed the bowls as guilt surrounded her heart. She jutted her lips as she thought of an idea when she saw an instant rice at the other side. "But," she paused, moving to her boyfriend's side. She tilted her head and smiled. "I can make kimbap."

Jungkook was washing chopsticks and spoons when he repeated, "kimbap?"

Nahee nodded once. "Yup!"

"We don't have enough ingredients."

Nahee showed her palm. "Lend me your car."

"I'm not letting you going out. You aren't familiar with Busan."

"But the car has GPS." Nahee wiggled her eyebrows. "Don't worry. I won't lose my way."

"How to trust you with that?"

Nahee then smugly uttered, "I have strong memory. So I know I can find my way back here."

"And how to believe that? The last time I remember you forgot how you smacked Taehyung hyung." Because of that statement, Jungkook earned a slap on upper arm. He loved how Nahee creased her eyebrows at that, he gave her a wide grin and chuckled.

Nahee stomped her foot as she said, "this and that ain't the same!"

Jungkook laughed. His right hand had foams. He booped his girlfriend's nose with that hand as he said, "I see."

Nahee grunted, glaring at the taller man as she wiped the foam on her nose with her pajamas sleeve in a swift. She whined, "are you lending me that car or not?"

"Nope. No need to go out. I need the rice anyway."

"What for?"

"To mix it with the soup."

Nahee stared at him with a pout. "Nevermind then." She smiled with her eyes and giggled. "But I promise to make kimbap for you next time."

Jungkook's gulped his saliva when he heard her promise. The spoon in his hand was rinsed slow. He turned off the tap and showed her a soft smile as he nodded. "Sure," he said. He then instructed, "get the pot. Bring it to the table in the living room."

Approaching the stove, Nahee grabbed a glove and a cloth to hold the pot. The heat from the steam made her to jerk her head to the back as she carried it and brought it to the table. She was followed by Jungkook with two bowls, two pair of chopsticks and two spoons in his hands. On top of the bowl was a medium-sized container of instant rice.

Both of them landed their butts beside each other and Jungkook passed Nahee her bowl, a pair of chopsticks and a spoons.

Nahee got herself the ramen as Jungkook opened the container's cover. After Nahee got the right amount of ramen and soup, she took Jungkook's bowl and grip the ramen with her chopsticks for him. She emptied the pot by pouring the rest of the soup into Jungkook's bowl and then placed the pot to the side.

They ate their food quietly, no teasing and bickering. In less than fifteen minutes, they finished their ramen. Still, Jungkook proceeded to mix the instant rice with the ramen soup.

Nahee watched his movements. Pushing the rice with spoon into the bowl filled with red-orange color as the oily bubbles disappeared and absorbed into the rice. He mixed them, scooped a spoonful of rice and shoved it into his mouth.

His cheeks resembled a squirrel with mouth full of acorns as he chewed and swallowed the rice. He shoved in another spoon into his mouth.

Nahee carefully called, "Jungkook-ah." The mentioned men jerked his head up once as he scoffed a big sum of rice and swallowed a little. The girl asked, "do you like me?"

Jungkook choked. That caused a little beads of rice flew out of his mouth and scattered onto the table. Nahee gasped and then quickly got up to get a cup of water. She came back with it. Jungkook fetched the cup from her hand quickly. His Adam apple bobbed up and down fast before it slowed down, and finally, he put down the cup on the table with breath heaved heavily.

Nahee squatted beside him, arms hugging her knees and eyes staring at him with a worry look. She timidly asked, "you, you... okay?"

Jungkook breathing steadied after some time. He didn't answer her question. Instead, he raised a hand and flicked her forehead. The sound of the flick was loud and thick thump as if coconut had cracked.

His girlfriend softly yelped. She then stuck her palm on the flicked forehead with mouth opened and a sad look on her face.

Nahee yelled with full of informal intonation and words, "why did you flick me?!! Ayih, seriously!!" Her eyes got watery.

"Why don't you ask questions like that some more when I eat?!"

She yelled again, "I didn't even shout at you the question! Do you have to flick me for that?!!" She cried as she got up and left the living room to go outside. Her palm was still on her forehead. She whined, "it's so damn painful. Eomma, I really hate Jungkook."

The door was then heard click to shut as the cries heard muffled from the living room.

Jungkook stared at the wide space which connected the kitchen and the living room. There's a small hallway which led to the entrance door. He took another scoop of rice and chewed. He then muttered, "did I flick that hard?"

Jungkook left the table and walked toward the entrance. He quietly opened the door, poking out his head to take a peek on Nahee. He was looking around for awhile and then finally saw where the sensitive girl was.

Nahee was squatting on the green yard and sniffing could be heard from the distance between the entrance and the girl's spot.

With home slippers, Jungkook went out and carefully approached the girl. "Nahee."

The girl didn't answer.

The man approached her closer and to her front. He tried to take her wrist to tell to stand up, but the sulky girl pulled her hand harshly. Jungkook was taken aback. He finalised to squat and face her.

When Jungkook was in front of her, she moved in a circle to avoid him. Jungkook being stubborn, moved like a crab in circle in attempt to face her. Nahee did the same movement to avoid him and Jungkook did the crab walk again to have her facing him.

Frustrated, Nahee whined and grunted, "what do you want?"

Jungkook let out a guilty smile before it turned into a soft one. "I'm sorry," he said.

Nahee didn't bother to say anything. Instead, she turned her head to the right.

Jungkook let out an airy laugh. He approached closer to her that their knees touched each other. As he softly grabbed her face, he asked with a tone that parents usually used after seeing their child fell. "Where does it hurt?" He found a big, red spot on Nahee's forehead. "Oh no, it's red!"

Nahee pushed his knees and that made Jungkook fell to the back. He grinned widely as he chuckled. He then said, "I'm really sorry."

Nahee was still quiet, nonetheless.

Jungkook felt like he had no choice other than to treat her like a baby. He softly grabbed her face again to face him and lifted his body a little to land a quick kiss on her forehead. After that, he asked, "does it still hurt?"

The question only answered by the girl's glare.

He kissed her forehead again. Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss. He stopped and looked at her. "Does it still hurt?"

Still, no answer. So, more kisses. Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss and a looooong kiss on the red spot.

Nahee's nose were flaring as she pressed her lips. Her cheeks were obviously almost raising up to pull a smile.

"Jagiya, I'm asking if it's still hurts," Jungkook said. "Oh no, not 'jagiya'. My baby, does your forehead still hurts?"

Nahee quickly muttered, "I don't know."

"Then, do you want more kisses?" He lifted himself again.

Nahee giggled as she pulled Jungkook down to stop him. "That's enough."

Jungkook was overjoyed after getting the response that he had been wanting from Nahee. Coaxing her wasn't an easy task to be honest. Once start, he must end it by himself. And take note, he wasn't using the same old method. It didn't usually work.

Later, he remembered the question that Nahee asked. He wanted to repeat her question again. "Ask me again."

"Ask you what?"

"The one you asked just now."

The yard became quiet for awhile.

"Do you like me?"

Jungkook gave her a soft smile. "Yes, I do," he said.

Nahee hid her smile by pursing her lips. But the light dimples on her cheeks couldn't hide the fact that she was shying herself from smiling.

Jungkook then questioned, "How about you? How much do you like me?"

Nahee buzzed. Shy, still she expressed, "Well... I... It's so much. So much that I don't want to let you go. I don't want to end our contract."

Despite the statement, Jungkook couldn't help but feeling sad at it. Nonetheless, he plastered the soft smile.

"I can burn the whole building for us if I have to," Nahee joked.

Jungkook chuckled. "Hey, hey, hey. What if Mr Bang sues you?"

"If I am jailed, you can bail me out," Nahee said with confidence. "My five star contracted boyfriend can bail me out. Or if I get punished, you can save me and look for a lawyer."

Jungkook raised an eyebrow. "But what if I am caught in the fire?"

"Then, I will come to the rescue!" Nahee then mimicked a flying Superman while squatting. Jungkook guffawed, thinking that was cute.

Despite the happiness that Nahee brought to his life, he couldn't help but to think he wanted to choose his plan over Nahee.

Jungkook stood up as he took the girl's wrist to make her stand up as well. Both of his hands were on her shoulders before his arms engulfed her body and securely hugged her. He then moved her as if she was a teddy bear and kissed her head.

"Jungkook, that's enough." Nahee laughed in his embrace.

"No, it isn't. I want to kiss you like this as much as I can," he then paused. His face fell as he whispered. "Because I don't think I'll be able to it anymore after this."

Nahee didn't hear that.

Jungkook felt Nahee rested her head on his chest comfortably. Her arms snaked around his back and secured.

The hugs went on for quite long to the point they didn't care of the time.

'I'm sorry. I love you...'

Who knew crying and eating ramen for dinner would make Nahee's face swollen the next day?

"Jungkook-ah, I need ice..."
