Yours

chapter fourteen: your background

Chaeyoung arrived just in time for GoldenGrove's anniversary celebration as the sun was setting at the Everglade Residence. The moment she reached there, she called Jieun to know the way to go upstairs from the parking area on the first floor of the residential property. Then, Jieun told her to go to her house on the top floor first so they could go to the rooftop together.

When she reached the house with the number 1605, she rang the bell twice and waited for Jieun while checking the time on her watch.

"It's almost 8."

"Yes, noona. Give me-"

Chaeyoung looked up to see Jungkook, not Jieun, at the door.

"Oh, Chaeyoung. You're here.", he opened the door wider while welcoming her inside. "Come on in. I just need to change my shirt and then we'll go upstairs together.", he said as he led her to the spacious living room of Jieun's penthouse.

Chaeyoung followed him to the living room before he excused himself to get changed. While waiting for him, she looked around and was intrigued by the photo wall decoration behind the long sofa. The various sizes of photo frames were arranged in a heart shape with Jieun's photos in various places with different people.

She looked at each of the frames and found that there were a few photos of the same people at different places. There were photos of Jieun alone, with her boyfriend, with her family and friends, who made up the heart shape of the photo wall. At the right side of the frames, there were three frames of Jieun with Jungkook before her eyes spotted a frame of younger Jieun with an adorable chubby boy below.

"Cute.."

"Chaeyoung, I'm done. We can go now.", Jungkook came back wearing a black button-down shirt layered over a white tee, leaving three buttons undone for casual style.

Chaeyoung turned around and chuckled at him.

"Is...something funny?", he asked as he held the trolley cart filled with covered food carefully.

She shook her head, "I'm sorry. It's just...you're wearing the same as you work."

Jungkook looked at himself, "Oh...right but this isn't my own shirt, actually. It's Jongsuk hyung's."

"Oh."

"Yeah. The thing is Jieun noona let me use her kitchen to cook and I didn't think through about my clothes until she complained half an hour ago. She said I smelled.", he explained.

"I see..", she chuckled.

"So now I'm smelling good again and I've done prepared the last dish. I'm ready to go, how about you?", he asked her.

Chaeyoung nodded, "I'm ready but where is Jieun unnie? I haven't seen her."

Jungkook frowned, "She's upstairs already, Chaeyoung."

"Oh. So...you are here alone?", she asked. "I thought she's here too. I called her earlier asking how to get to the rooftop."

Jungkook smiled, "Ah, I thought so. She must've done it on purpose."

"She's done it on purpose?"

Jungkook shook his head, "It's nothing. Let's just go upstairs to see her, shall we?"

"O- okay."

♡♡♡

When the two of them reached the rooftop, Hyunjin and Yeji welcomed them with a confetti poppers in front of their faces. They flinched at the surprise attack before Jungkook apologised to Chaeyoung about it.

"Guys, I told you no confetti.", he shook his head at the two before they ran away from there.

Chaeyoung chuckled, looking at them, "They're having fun. It's okay, Jungkook."
