Arrival
During the thirty minute drive back home, Jin surprisingly fell asleep with a magazine in his hands.
Driver uncle
“President Kim was still talking about the young master this morning, saying he wants young master to adapt to the company as soon as possible.”
A whole minute passed without a response from Jin.
All Uncle heard was Jin’s steady and even breathing, as he was sound asleep.
Driver uncle
“This child, he can’t seem to change his habit of loving sleep since he was young…”
Just a few years ago, he was just a little boy. Now, in the blink of an eye, he was already in college.
Car continued towards the villa area in the north of City A.
Kim Seokjin
(In his semi-conscious state, he vaguely heard someone calling him.)
Kim Seokjin mother
"Jin..Jin...."
Kim Seokjin mother
"Kim Seokjin! "
Soon, his forehead was gently touched by a hand, and he realized it wasn’t the person from his dream but his Mom.
Kim Seokjin mother
“Did you have a tiring day at school today, or did you not sleep well last night?”
Kim Seokjin mother
(Touched his forehead again to ensure he didn’t have a fever, and then said,)
Kim Seokjin mother
“Get out of the car quickly; Uncle is about to finish his work shift.”
Kim Seokjin
“I didn’t sleep well last night,”
Kim Seokjin
“Why are my legs numb?”
As soon as he got out of the car, he leaned against her and acted spoiled, saying,
Kim Seokjin
“Mom, it’s been a week since I last saw you and dad. The school food isn’t as delicious as at home, and the bed is uncomfortably hard. "
Kim Seokjin
"Since I didn’t attend military training, I’m not close to anyone at school…”
This innocent appearance was quite different from his image at school.
Kim Seokjin mother
“Then come back home to stay. I’ll arrange for a driver to pick you up and drop you off every day.”
Kim Seokjin
“Great! I also have a driver’s license now, so I can drive myself too.”
Kim Seokjin mother
“Your Hyung, he’s something else. He changed his flight today without telling us in advance. "
Kim Seokjin mother
"He took the airport shuttle bus and has already arrived at the station. Luckily, I made a phone call to check, and your father just went out to pick him up.”
Kim Seokjin
“Hyung has never liked causing trouble for you guys since he was little,”
Kim Seokjin
(He said, looking a bit embarrassed, his cheeks turning red.)
Kim Seokjin mother
“They’re just stuck in traffic; don’t worry. Your Hyung definitely arrive before dinner.”
Kim Seokjin
(He was caught in the act, but he tried to defend himself, blushing,)
Kim Seokjin
“You’ve got it wrong; I’m not in a hurry at all.”
Kim Seokjin
“mom, how did you know they were stuck in traffic?”
Kim Seokjin mother
“You can send messages on your phone.”
Kim Seokjin
“Then why didn’t they message me?”
Kim Seokjin mother
“I asked them myself. Why didn’t you ask?”
He took small sips of orange juice while squirming around on the couch like he had grease on his butt.
Kim Seokjin mother
(Jin’s mom looked at Jin, who seemed particularly impatient, and couldn’t help but step closer.)
Kim Seokjin mother
“You haven’t seen him for two years, right?”
In the circle related to the Kim family, everyone knew that this four-year older Namjoon was considered Jin’s Hyung, even though they weren’t related by blood.
Even though this Namjoon was just a “foster child” who had been living in the Kim family since he was little.
Kim Seokjin
“I haven’t seen him for so long, it’s so strange. How did I endure it?”
Kim Seokjin mother
“But every time you had a day off from studying, you would video call Namjoon all the time.”
Kim Seokjin
“He got busier later on, so I stopped calling!”
He received a message from Namjoon.
Kim Seokjin
“mom, he sent me a message! He says he’s almost home!”
Kim Seokjin
“mom, does he still like strawberry milk? Did we buy any?”
Kim Seokjin
“mom, did you remember to have Aunty air out his blanket? He loves the scent of sunshine!”
Kim Seokjin mother
(Began to get a slight headache.)
Kim Seokjin mother
“I had it washed and aired it out a couple of days ago. We also bought some strawberry milk, but I couldn’t find the exact brand you mentioned.”
Kim Seokjin mother
"You behave like henpecked wife!"
Worker aunty
“Sir, here’s your tea.”
Kim Seokjin
“It’s about time, let’s start preparing dinner.”
Aunty glanced at the wall clock. It was 3:30 in the afternoon.
Kim mother had personally gone to buy the ingredients, choosing dishes that both Jin and Namjoon enjoyed.
Kim Seokjin
“Mom, is the strawberry milk in the fridge? I can’t find it… Ah! I found it…”
