Below is a transaction that resulted in Jungkook finding out how strong his sense of patience is and how wonderful aspirin is in alleviating a headache.

Charming
Hey, are you and Ame home?

Jungkook
Not at the moment. Why?
Did something happen?

Charming
I'm kind of locked out of your old apartment.

Jungkook
How?
Weren't you in for the night when we left for our date?

Charming
I was.
But I went out onto the balcony to look at the stars
And it was cold, so I shut the sliding glass door behind me
to make sure the apartment stayed warm.

Jungkook
...
You're locked out on the balcony?

Charming
Yes
It's kind of cold too.

Jungkook
That's winter for you.
Did you try sliding the door?

Charming
I did.
It's stuck in place.
Should I try to break it?

Jungkook
No, don't do that.
Ame and I will head back.
Just hang tight.

Charming
Alright. I'll try.

Jungkook
We are on our way back now.
We're 15 minutes out.
In the meantime, what is out on the balcony with you?

Charming
Nothing besides myself.
And the cold, but I don't think that counts.

Jungkook
No, that doesn't count.
Until we get there, try sitting near the sliding glass door.
At least you can get some heat from the apartment.

Charming
Ok
Jungkook?

Jungkook
Yes?

Charming
The glass is cold.

Jungkook
...
Just give it a second, Charming.

Charming
Sorry I ruined date night.

Jungkook
Don't apologize.
You're more important.
I don't need you freezing to death.

Charming
Thank you for saying that.
Maybe I can thank you and Ame
with soup when you get here.
I have it cooking in the apartment.

Jungkook
Wait.
Do you currently have soup cooking in the apartment?

Charming
Yes

Jungkook
How long has it been on the stove?

Charming
I don't know. A little while now.
Why?

Jungkook
Can you see the kitchen from the balcony?

Charming
Yes.
Oh.

Jungkook
What's oh?

Charming
I see why you sounded worried.
The apartment is filled with smoke.

Jungkook
Ok. Change of plans.
Back away from the sliding glass door.
If the apartment is on fire, you need to be away from there.
You need to call the fire department.

Charming
Ok!
I'll do that right now.

Jungkook
It's been a few minutes.
Did you call the fire department?

Charming
Yes

Jungkook
Are they on the way?

Charming
I don't know.
No one replied.

Jungkook
What do you mean no one replied?
I thought you said you called them.

Charming
I did.
I shouted good and loud too.
No one answered.

Jungkook
Do not tell me you just yelled for
the fire department over the balcony...

Charming
Ok
I won't then.

Jungkook
Forget it.
I'm calling them now.
Is the fire worse?

Charming
Well, I see flames now.
Hey Jungkook.

Jungkook
What Charming?

Charming
At least the soup must be cooked.
