* JUNGKOOK'S POV * 

"Hello, Jungkook! Tae mentioned that you might be visiting!", Hoseok hyung welcomed me with a huge grin. 

"Um...hi.", I said a bit awkwardly. I knew the guy meant no harm, but he was too extroverted for my taste. 

"C'mon in! You can wait in our room. Everyone else is practising for our upcoming gig. So, it'll be just you and Tae today. He'll be coming in a while. He's gone to do grocery shopping. I'll see ya later.", Hoseok hyung said in practically one breath before dashing out the front door. 

Gig...

That must mean that they're famous. 

I walked into the only other room available in the apartment to reveal messy, unkempt bunk beds with their personal belonging strewn across it. 

Perhaps they were in a rush and forgot about it? 

That would be it...

I spotted a small folding table under one of the beds and making it upright, took out my journal to finish today's entry. 

Might as well kill some time until he decides to show up. 

But, the idea of him grocery shopping kind of sounded really cute...

Aigoo! I must not let these thoughts plague my mind! 

Focus Jungkook, focus!

Dear Diary, 

I know it was wrong of me to storm out on Noona and mom, but I couldn't help it. I just couldn't! Not after mom was blatantly ignoring Noona's presence and was only conversing with me. I tried to rein in my anger, calm myself down, but I had had enough of it when she openly started criticising Noona's features and how drab she looked always. She even joked about how Noona might be a child born in wedlock. I yelled at her to keep her damn leg to herself, which was suggestively rubbing against mine and then, chided her for speaking so rashly to her own daughter. Did she not care about Noona's feelings!? Was Noona no one to her!? And what irked me up the most was how she was perceiving my thoughts and words like I was immature! After I finished talking, I looked at her to see wearing an amused look finishing it with a condescending smirk. She stood up and walked over to me, caressing my cheek with her thumb in an 'unparent-like' manner. She had then said that I was a child who didn't know anything about the ways of the world. She literally called me innocent and immature! Well, I had a better IQ than her anyway. She then said the most shocking words to me. And I wish that I could rewind time and run away before I had to hear those despicable words falling from her cherry red lips. 'I like you, Jungkook. I like you like a man. And, I know you'll always come back to mama after a girl hurts you. And then, mama would show you what is love.' - I mentally cringe once again as I recall these memories. I had slapped away her hand and stood up from my chair, ready to strangle the likes of her. She was no mother of mine. How could she even think of liking me in 'that' way!? It was so morally wrong! Noona urged me to go to my room, knowing I'd be blaming myself if I did something now when my thoughts weren't rational. I brushed her aside, striding over to my mom in practically two steps and staring her in square in the face, said that she'd be the last person to whom I'll come crying. She had merely smirked in my direction, not perturbed in the slightest at my hostile demeanour and said that only time would tell. I had given her one of my choicest scowls before storming out and walking to whichever goddamn place my legs would take me. I just knew that I had to get away from my home. And sadly, the only place my trusty legs carried me was into trouble. And well, I was rescued, but not before almost dying. I'm going to be eternally glad to Taehyung and Jimin. If they hadn't come, I would be dead by now. I guess I never did thank them properly. Perhaps, I can bake them something? I could ask Sookyung about it. She knows a lot about them. I wonder how...

Anyway, I ranted a lot today. Probably one of the longest diary entries. And thanks for patiently listening to my troubles. I could actually call you a friend who carries my deepest secrets :)

- Yours, Kook

Kook's Wishlist - 

No. 12 -  Having a normal father-son conversation.

"Um...a little help please?", I heard a voice at the door. 

Startled, I dropped my journal on the ground and looked up to find a judgemental Taehyung staring down at me with his hands full with snacks. 

"I-I'm sorry!", I stuttered as I held the door for him as he walked in and set the food on the table. 

He didn't bother to reply, indicating that he was pissed. 

"Um...why didn't you alert me earlier?", I asked with my eyes on the ground. 

"I knocked on the damn door!", he said grumpily and faced the other side of the room. 

"I'm sorry.", I mumbled. 

I tucked my journal back in and took out my notebook where we'd be chalking out the project. 

"What's that? Another journal?", he asked curiously as he saw me writing. 

"N-No! That's...um...well...um...our project notebook! Where...you know...we...uh...write down our milestones and...uh...tick them off once they're done.", I mumbled, blushing a lot. 

He had noticed that I had a journal...

Get a grip of yourself, Jungkook! 

Of course he would notice...

After all, I was writing it in front of him...

There's nothing extraordinary about it. 

But then...

Why does my heart skip a beat everytime you notice something like this?

"Um...you here, JK?", his voice brought me back. 

"Uh...sorry! I spaced out!", I apologised and showed him what I had written.

"Woah! That's really organised!", he complimented. 

My ears turned red as I felt a pair of eyes fix themselves on me. 

I hated attention...

"T-Thanks. It's nothing really.", I managed to say. 

I hope I don't pass out from giddiness. 

"You're sure you're not doing a secret part time job as a coordinator, right!?", he joked. 

"Definitely not.", I said with a crooked smile. 

He chuckled lightly, probably pleased. 

"So, did you go through the play I suggested?", I asked him as I took out my laptop so we could do some research. 

"No. I was lazy...", he trailed off with a yawn. 

I turned towards him in order to reprimand his callous attitude, but I stopped in my tracks. 

He was leaning on his hand for support with his eyes almost closing and with the hint of slight dark circle formation. 

He's probably tired due to the practice sessions for their gig...

"Well, then. How 'bout I start with an introduction and you listen?", I suggested. 

His half-closed eyes fluttered open and he looked dazed for a second before shrugging. 

"Cool then. Perhaps, we could get some stuff on the internet as well.", I said as I typed out 'Tennessee Williams' in the search engine. 

"Fries, JK?", he questioned using his personal nickname for me. 

I blushed slightly and taking one, thanked him albeit stuttering. 

"You blush too much, JK! But it looks cute on you...", he casually said as leaned in a bit to see my laptop screen. 

I looked at the ground, trying not to make eye contact. 

He thought I was cute...

I tried to calm my racing heart. 

How can you so casually throw away comments that make my heart race...

What are you doing to me, Taehyung?

It's been less than a week since you came into my life...

And yet...

It feels like an eternity...
