Just as Jungkook had told Roseanne, he was really feeling down today. Spending time with Roseanne was tiring and a challenge, but he still loved it. At least, she really managed to lift his mood somewhat!

Later, he didn't go to the dorms where he lived with his group's members. Today, he chose to visit his mother instead. But seeing that she was busy with her customers when he came, he went to his room and directly went to sleep. It was a good opportunity to catch up on some sleep.

It was around 5 o'clock in the evening when he woke up because he felt someone shaking him. He groggily turned to his side and looked at his mother who had her hands on her waist and stared at him angrily.

"What?" he hurriedly questioned. "Why are you so angry?"

He looked at his mother's hands as she told him through gestures, 'Is this your time to sleep? Did you come home to sleep?'

Jungkook kneeled on the bed and hugged her waist saying, "No, I came to hug my mom. But mom was busy when I came, so I just decided to sleep. Besides, you should be happy that I'm resting."

His mother curled her fingers and knocked on his head. He pulled away as she made hand gestures to let him know, 'I'm not upset that you're resting. I'm upset because you went to sleep without eating anything.'

"Oh..." was all he said looking at his mother's small frame. Yes, his mother couldn't speak. And he did grow up in a single-parent home. Growing up, his family wasn't well to do but his mother worked hard enough to provide him with everything he needed. He rubbed his stomach and grinned, "Now that I think about it, I'm pretty hungry. Mom, how about you make me some hot and sour noodle soup?"

His mother stroked his head lovingly and nodded her head.

As she left his room, he got up to freshen up. He was feeling refreshed and energetic after this nap. He found his phone from the bedside table and was surprised to see so many missed calls and messages. He realized his phone had been on silent and that's why he didn't hear anything. As he was about to unlock the phone, his phone rang again.

Seeing his manager's name on the screen, he took a deep breath and answered the call, "Brother Choi, you're looking for me?"

"You didn't come to the dorm?"

"Wanted to spend some time with my mom," he replied honestly.

"That's alright then," replied Brother Choi. "I called you to inform you that tomorrow we'll be having a meeting. I'll come to pick you up so be ready."

"Yes, I'll be ready," Jungkook replied and hung up the phone.

Then, he scrolled through the notifications and found that he had a message from Roseanne. He was a bit taken aback by this sudden surprise. She'd rarely send a message. Usually, if she was trying to contact him, she'd directly make a call as she found it less bothersome. Typing was definitely 'Troublesome.'

He clicked on the chat and saw the photo that came before his eyes. His phone literally slid out of his hand and fell down. He was blankly staring at his hands which held nothing now. He didn't know how long he spent like that before slowly and carefully, he picked up the phone and saw the photo again.

He could recognize Roseanne but he could also recognize the man sitting beside her!!! And that's why he ended up dropping his phone because he was shocked. He repeatedly blinked and changed the angle but the man looked exactly like he remembered.

He hurriedly dialed Roseanne's number. The latter had just reached the restaurant where they were supposed to have dinner with family. She alighted from the car and answered the call.
