Chapter 28: Stay Here

Jin kissed me goodbye and I felt like I was a housewife sending off her husband to work.

Imagine me marrying someone like Jin.

I giggled softly to myself as Jin pulled away.

"What's so funny?" Jin asked with a puzzled expression.

"Oh nothing." I mumbled as I felt my face get hot.

Taehyung stood next to Jin, looking uncomfortable with us kissing in front of him. He rolled his eyes at us like a child disgusted with his parents display of affection.

"If you need anything, just call or text."
Jin said as he headed to his car.

"Or you can call me Noona, I'm never busy." Taehyung grinned with his boxy smile.

"Yes Taehyung, I know that." I laughed, recalling the first day he barely helped me at work.

I waved at them as I watched them leave together for work. Jin blew me one of his infamous air kisses. I pretended to catch it, and put it in my pocket. He chuckled and drove off with a disapproving Taehyung shaking his head at us.

Jungkook had stayed home today, so he could play video games and sleep. The two things he hardly got to do.

"Noona are you hungry?" Jungkook asked me while rummaging through the refrigerator.

"I am, do you want me to make you something?" I asked, as I felt a pang of hunger at the mention of food.

His head popped up behind the refrigerator door and he gave me that cute bunny smile, nodding his head enthusiastically.

"Ok I'll make us some eggs and bacon with toast."

"Ooh Noona! I can't wait!" Jungkook said, excited to be fed.

He patiently had a seat on the stool, as I cracked open the eggs over the heated pan. The sizzling sounds and delicious aroma made Jungkook's mouth water. I placed the plate in front of him, and he began stuffing his face like a ravenous animal.

I sat next to him and enjoys my breakfast as well. "Noona this is so good!" He said happily chomping down on the bacon.

"Thanks ,Jungkook." I said feeling like a mother that has just fed a satisfied son.

My phone started ringing, it was Heather's number.

She rarely called usually, she just texted, so I knew she heard the news.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Cora! Are you ok? Where are you?"

"I'm fine, I'm at Jin's house, I won't be coming in to work today."

"I figured that! Wait, you're at Jin's house? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I heard you would be stuck at that meeting really late and didn't want to interrupt you. When I went home last night the paparazzi and fans had been waiting for me outside my apartment."

"What! Did Sue leak your address too?"

"Yes she must have." I said feeling anger rising up inside me.

"And she has the audacity to show her face here today. She is so fired! I'll call you back, I need to see what Jin will do with her, since she is his employee."

"Ok Heather bye."

After hanging up, I started worrying about Jin now. I know those ruthless paparazzi are probably following him around today too.

My phone started ringing again, and now it was my mom! I hadn't talked to her in a while and I knew she must be calling because of the incident on the news.

I took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Hello mom."

"Cora! What is going on? Why is everyone calling me about you dating some behind the scenes guy!" She screeched over the phone.

"What? No mom he's in BTS not behind the scenes!"

"Yes whatever! Who is he?" She asked impatiently.

"Mom he's in that band, I really liked for years. The one you thought were cute!"

"Oh that guy is from that band!"

"Yes mom!"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't tell you about my love life!"

"You don't tell me anything these days! Why did they take pictures of you two kissing! Everyone is calling you a slut!"

"Mom I didn't know they were taking our pictures!"

"I didn't raise you to be a slut! Kissing men in public like that!"

Like most Asian mothers she is so old fashioned, it drives me crazy!

"I was in a car not in public!"

"Whatever! People could still see you!"

"Ok I'm sorry mom, is that why you called?"

"Yes! And also I wanted to tell you, you're moving back home with us! Quit your job and get over here! I knew you couldn't handle it out there alone, but your father insisted we let you try for a year."

"Mom I'm not moving back in!"

"Why not?"

"Because I like my job! And I have Jin!"

"That boy is using you Cora! You think someone rich and famous would want you?"

"Wow mom, thanks for the self esteem boost!"

"Cora get back home or we're canceling your rent money for your apartment and credit card."

"Mom! Really? You know what? That's fine, I'm making enough money to live out here."

"Cora the rent there is double what you make, I know it." She said with an incredulous laugh.

"Mom I promise, I'm fine. If you want to cancel the rent, go ahead, I was going to tell you to stop it anyways."

"Oh you're grown now. Consider it all cancelled today. You better leave that boy too, he'll break your heart."

"Mom please let me live my life, you've sheltered me long enough."

"I will, but don't come crawling back asking for help and money, or crying saying that behind the scenes guy dumped you after sleeping with you!"

"I won't mom! I gotta go, I'm busy!"

"Yah don't hang up!"

Click...

This is why I never call her these days. I actually can't afford my rent, now that she's cancelling my rent money. I was using the credit card to buy gas and groceries.

What am I going to do?

Jungkook had been quietly sitting next to me eavesdropping. "Noona why don't you just stay here with us?"

"What? No way! I can't live with three men!"

"Well we'd love to have you, I'm sure Jin would be ok with it, and you're a good cook! Jin will be happy to take a break from cooking all the time."

"Why don't you hire a cook then."

"Because they don't cook Korean food, besides Jin loves cooking."

"Right, well don't worry Jungkook, I'll figure something out, but thanks for the offer."
