THE CEO | JEON JUNGKOOK FF ✅

Chapter 34

"I am going to check and discuss something with the guys. You can rest here for a while," said Jungkook. Chaeyoung just nodded with a smile as a response.

Chaeyoung called her mom, as soon as Jungkook left her in the master suite.

She told her that she was once again on a work trip, out of town as Jungkook had suggested. If she told her mother that she was with her boyfriend, it would have only made things more complicated.

"Dear, make sure you take care of yourself and don't be too hard on yourself." She heard her mom's words, followed by a sudden silence.

"Mom, are you still there? I am fine, okay? My work is not exhausting at all. I just walk and make a pose at the stage. I also got to wear a designer's clothes." She said with a cheerful tone. Then, she heard a long deep sigh from her mother.

"I am really sorry, dear. This mother of yours is not capable enough. I can't even be of any help to you and our family. I am so useless." Her mom said with a depressed tone. Her voice sounded very heavy-hearted.

Chaeyoung quickly said, "Stop talking nonsense, Mom. All that you do for us is indispensable. It is hard to take good care of us, me, dad and especially Jinhee. You are the one who is always with Jinhee and we both know how tough it is."

She didn't know how her mom could stand it, seeing her daughter's pain and her kidney fits every now and then.

She herself had seen it once but she couldn't bear it, so she left her mom with Jinhee while she sobbed outside of the ward, on the waiting chair. She couldn't bear to see her sister crying whenever the pain attacked her, her vomiting with medications, and insertions of needles in her delicate skin.

Her mom had to witness and bore all that while staying beside her sister.

'How hard was it for mom to see her own child in that state?' That question was always in her mind whenever she saw her mom with Jinhee.

Her mom was always alone during the crucial times with Jinhee and she carried the entire burden by herself, trying to stay strong.

"I am so grateful that you are our mother, Mom. I am so proud of you, so do not ever think about yourself as incapable. Otherwise, I will be very hurt, okay? I have to go now. I love you very much, Mom." She said smiling, with her tone full of gratitude.

"I love you too, dear. Always take care of yourself, and most importantly, don't skip meals." Her mom said before Chaeyoung hung up the phone.

She was startled when she felt strong arms on her waist from behind. She was sure it was Jungkook, because of his familiar scent.

"You are too sweet to your Mom. What a filial daughter. Can you be like that to me too and be a filial girlfriend, will you?" Jungkook murmured while he was burying his nose on her neck.

"Are you eavesdropping? Hey, stop what you are doing right now, it tickles." Chaeyoung asked and complained.

"But I want you to speak to me like that. You are very soft, sweet, appreciative and so encouraging. Also, I want to hear those words from you." Jungkook muttered like a child throwing tantrums.

"But you are not my mom," Chaeyoung said to tease him.

"Ouch!" Chaeyoung cried out. Jungkook suddenly bit her neck.

Jungkook laughed hard and said, "There, that's your punishment for neglecting me."

"What are you, a frustrated vampire?" Chaeyoung exclaimed as she quickly turned around and bit his neck in return.

But to her surprise, Jungkook's eyes looked dangerous at that moment. Those eyes were like a wolf's that had seen his prey.

She couldn't even stand his intense gaze so she quickly turned around to walk towards the door and said, "Hmm, I will go down first, to check what we have for dinner. Oh right, I will cook something for you, I am sure you will like it."

But before she could reach the door, Jungkook suddenly pulled her towards him and said in a hoarse voice. "Where do you think you are going? Yes, I am hungry right now, but I am not craving for food."
