-----------------
Both of the men explained everything and Nahee ended up having embarrassment surrounding her.
Nahee had low alcohol tolerance. No one was to be blamed for that though. She couldn't understand why she got that low tolerance in her body when all of her family members were good at drinking alcohol. This means that she was the only family member that had low alcohol tolerance. But let's exclude the younger and minor family members.
With palms on her face and forehead rested on the table, the girl groused in small voice, "stupid..."
Jungkook didn't try to comfort her but watched her with a smile with his chin propped on his palm. Taehyung snorted at the comment and made a face.
Nahee then added, "I can't remember what happened and I can't even remember how I ended up taking alcohol."
Taehyung made a face again. It wasn't that she annoyed him but remembering how harsh and scary drunk Nahee was during last night had left him a big disappointment. He had been sulking last night. The sight of Nahee whining and ended up hit her head on the table made him care less. He took a strawberry from a bowl on the table and bit it.
Then, Taehyung heard Jungkook said, "it's okay, jagi."
Taehyung choked his strawberry. He coughed the piece and quickly took a tissue to spit on it. He never heard the younger called any of his past clients by pet names. But maybe he heard once (because of his client's demand), but nothing close like 'yeobo' or 'jagi (honey)'.
"Mistakes happen," Jungkook said. He then said with a smile, "Kookie make mistake too."
Taehyung's left eye twitched. "Shet... Did he just..."
On the other hand, Nahee gasped and choked her saliva. "Wha-what's wrong with you?" The girl questioned as she coughed.
Jungkook faked a confusion. "Hm? What's wrong with me?" He then sipped his tea.
Silence, Nahee squinted her eyes. "Why 'Kookie'?" She asked, although she knew Jungkook was teasing her.
"Why?" Jungkook then smirked, still had his cup on his lips. He took another sip and groaned. He continued, "I thought you made a pet name for me since I called you 'yeobo' last time."
"You can't be serious."
"For calling you 'yeobo'?" Jungkook smirked.
Nahee was flustered by the response. She thought Jungkook was joking all this time, after all they were same age and to think of being called 'yeobo' wasn't something she expected while dating someone who was at her age. She always thought 'yeobo' was only used for married couples.
Jungkook then said, "if you don't like 'yeobo', then 'jagi'?."
"Uhm... Just... Just 'Nahee'? How about that?"
"Just 'Nahee'? Hmm... What if your real boy-" Jungkook paused his word all of a sudden. The thought that he had in mind had him feeling crunched inside. Nonetheless, he chose to continue and putting a light smile, "what if your future boyfriend insists calling you by pet names?"
The only witness of the scene noticed the changes of the man's word. His eyebrows furrowed as his eyes exchanged directions at the two for their responses.
Nahee didn't seen to realise the changes. She was then seen pouting. "Just call me whatever you want. Just... Just... Not 'yeobo'. We're not married."
Taehyung looked at Jungkook back to see his reaction over Nahee's comment. He was curious if the younger man was hurt or actually cool with it.
Jungkook was then seen inhaled a deep breath before uttered, "okay, jagi~"
Taehyung couldn't decide. Instead, he made a face at how Jungkook cooed so sweetly. He almost got goosebumps when seeing that new side of Jungkook.
"I better leave or I'll puke here," Taehyung muttered as he quickly stood up and pushed the chair.
Jungkook and Nahee watched Taehyung as he scurried away to leave them. Jungkook scoffed at the sight of Taehyung walking leisurely.
As Taehyung went further, Jungkook turned his head to look at Nahee. "Jagiya."
Nahee who was observing the space, immediately had her eyes widened. She slowly turned her head to look at her contracted boyfriend.
Jungkook then muttered, "you'll have to get used to this."
"Oh no."
"Oh yes!" Jungkook smirked.
"I'm not ready."
"You just said that I can call you whatever I want."
"But our contract is still long!"
"It doesn't matter. Including those days we barely talk and meet because you're busy, we are already four months now."
"We are still new."
"I don't want to argue but as far as I understand how we work on this contract, I am paid to be your boyfriend because of your mother, right? Plus the fact that you're inexperienced. Isn't it better to think that I am paid to train you how to treat your boyfriend, right? Your mother might have let you signed a contract relationship because she wants you to have experiences and in the future, she might want to see you in a serious relationship or a possible in-law."
Nahee blinked her eyes multiple times. She didn't expect that she would end up listening to Jungkook's preach. She had no answers in her mind which let a long silence lurking.
However, Jungkook broke the silence. "Okay." He then sighed. "Just today and then you'll have to learn how to get used to 'jagi'."
Nahee crossed her arms. "I just remember I didn't pay you to train me how to be the best girlfriend."
"Oh?" Jungkook raised his eyebrows.
"I only paid you to be my boyfriend for two years."
"Oh?"
"To fulfill my mother's wish on seeing me to have a boyfriend."
"Oh~?"
"Can you stop it?!" Nahee lightly punched her boyfriend's arm and Jungkook laughed at that.
"Why are you repeating what I said just now? Think about this, after we've done with this event, you'll be busy with studies again. I can hardly see you."
"You can always visit me at home though."
"That doesn't sound good to me."
"Why?"
"Visiting your house when planning to take you out is fine if we're talking about visiting your house for awhile. But visiting with no reasons sounds inappropriate, don't you think?"
"You think so?"
"Yeah. And try to think of your mother."
Then, there was silence again.
Nahee then said, "well... Let's see... We'll be back to Seoul in four days. I'll think about it."
**********
The next day, they finally arrived at Jeju Island. Everyone was happy about it. Couples were happily shouting when they finally left the ship but only one didn't.
The chillest couple leisurely walked out of the ship with an opened packet Cheetos in the girlfriend's hand while three more snacks were in the boyfriend's arm. They ignored every couples that passed by and acted as if the world was on their own. The boyfriend was sitting on their luggages, letting it drag him out of the ship through the metal slope. When the girlfriend handed him two pieces towards his mouth, he quickly took it and chewed.
"Geez... Why these people act like they never seen this place before?" The boyfriend muttered with a puff in his right cheek. He then continued to chew.
"It's their first time coming here together. It's our first time here together too, why aren't we shouting like them?"
Jungkook raised both of his eyebrows. "You want us to shout like them when there's food in our mouths, Nahee?"
"Hm, no?"
"Alright, I don't want to die choking."
Nahee snorted at Jungkook's comment and then fed him a piece.
When they finally stepped on the flat land, Jungkook got up from the luggages. He pulled his shirt down and then pulled his jeans up. He raked his hair to the back before putting a hand into the opened snack pack. Shoving in two pieces, he chewed them before swallowing them.
As he swept his hands to remove the snacks dust, he said, "jagiya, you wait here, okay?"
Naher was flustered for awhile when she heard the pet name. Jungkook then passed the snacks in his arm to her.
She knew she must get used to this, so she sighed. She thought this was the best for her. She would blame herself for not having any experience about having a boyfriend, better be thankful that Jungkook was willing to work it out for her. Jungkook would not be the only man she would meet if her mother insisted on wanting her to have a husband next.
Before Jungkook could disappear into the couples crowd, Nahee stopped him, "where are you going?"
"I don't go anywhere far. Just trying to settle these monkeys down," Jungkook said as he watched Nahee approached him. "Today and tomorrow, I'm the leader."
"Oh..." Nahee nodded her head after saying that out.
"Wait here, okay? You'll hear my voice through the megaphone. Listen to what I'll say."
Nahee nodded her head again.
Without both of them realising, Jungkook cupped both of Nahee's cheeks and attempted to aim for her forehead but suddenly, he stopped. This was scary to him all of a sudden. The action which he was about to do almost had him telling everyone what was his purposes.
His hands slowly slid to her shoulders and then looked at her with an innocent - yet, anyone could feel it was a sad smile. He patted her head for awhile and then wrapped his arm around her body to engulf her in a hug.
Nahee was confused with Jungkook's sudden changes of behavior. She chose not to ask Jungkook if he was okay. She let herself melt in the warm embrace for awhile.
As Jungkook let her go, she saw him smiling warmly at her. "Be a good girl and listen to what I'll announce afterwards. It's important to all of us."
Nahee nodded and then Jungkook left her as he shouted 'alright!' which gained everyone's attention.
As he was seen through the space that couples had left for her to see him, she tilted her head to the side. She didn't know why she found his actions earlier was questionable. She was sure Jungkook was up to nothing bad.
Nahee loudly sighed which almost got a few people nearby attention. "Guys are confusing..."
Out of nowhere, Taehyung's flat voice was heard. "And girls are complicated."
Nahee turned her head to look at him and glared, "geez..."
