"Halmeoni"

Jungkook said as he hugged his grandma.

Wait
Grandma ?!

Sungmi thought as she froze on the spot with her mouth about to touch the ground. Sungmi continued to gape at the old woman who was standing in the door steps.

"Omo~ you must be Sungmi. How pretty!"

Halmeoni gave her a bone crashing hug, almost knocking breathe from her and gave two kissed on either cheeks. Jungkook tried to muffle his chuckle at the sight with with hand.

"Are you going to spend the whole night standing there? Come on in "

Halmeoni ushered them inside the house and asked them to make themselves feel at home.

"But you look completely fine,halmeoni !"

Jungkook exclaimed at his grandmother with a frown stitched on his face.

"I'm not sorry for beguiling you at all. I knew that unless you won't hear bad news about me, you wouldn't pay me visit. So I asked your mom to help me by deceiving you guys to meet me. And I was even dying to see my grand son's bride whom your mother can't stop talking about. "

Sungmi just stared at her in awe, how she wasn't acting like a normal mundane typical grandmother and she already loved her personality. She applauded her mentality for succeeding in deceiving Jungkook.

"So Sungmi, do you cook ?"

"Yes,mam"

She shifted uncomfortably on the couch and fidgeted with her fingers out of nervousness.

"Oh, cut the crap young lady. You are making me sound like I'm 80+ year old. Just call me anything but mam. Alright ?"

Sungmi nodded meekly.

"I still remember how you tried to make me call you noona when you used to fetch me to school cuz you don't want anyone to know that you are my grandma."

Jungkook laughed out loud and fervently hit his thigh , not able to subdue his laughing.

"that offer is still open , my dear."

She replied with a complacent face.

"No thanks, HAL-MEO-NI"

Jungkook purred the each syllable to put an emphasise on the word 'halmeoni' , as he returned her with yet another self-satisfied look on his face.

She gave him a death glare.

"Now, you didn't tell me whether you cook or not ?"

"I do. In fact I cook everyday to feed your grandson."

Halmeoni was taken aback by her comeback. For a moment Sungmi saw disapproving look on the grandma's face and she started to regret opening her big mouth. But within a split second grandma's pursued lip turned into cashmere cat's mouth.

"I love her !"

She growled at Jungkook and earned a groan from him.

"She's a keeper"

Halmeoni started to shake Jungkook's shoulder who was lying on the couch. Sungmi was not surprised to see him being friendly with his grandma as she knew he loved his each and every family members.

"I got it, I got it. Now feed my stomach. I missed your food."

Jungkook whined as he clutched his stomach.

Sungmi was wondering where was his grandfather as she followed Jungkook and halmeoni to the dinning room. And as if halmeoni could read her mind she asked Jungkook

"Didn't you tell about grandpa to Sungmi."

"Not yet."

Jungkook had no intention to tell about his grandfather to Sungmi but to not to arise any suspicion in his grandma's mind he answered to her in a way as if he was about to do so.

"His grandfather passed at a very young age, making me a dowagers. I hate him to my bones."

Even though she spitted those words, her face didn't match with her statement. Obviously her face became more tender and her eyes soften at the thought of her deceased husband.

"Uggh , I hate depressing mood. Let's play songs and have dinner."

To her surprise, background musics were recent Kpop rather than a soothing classical piano. One by one the songs changed to exo to blackpink and songs to any other famous Kpop songs you could name.

"I dance to these songs everyday for 3 hours and legitimately this makes me stay young."

Grandma flipped her hair as she had a bite of chicken breast. Sungmi wondered whether grandma could get anymore modern and open minded.

The food was incomparable to any other food and they had marvellous time until his grandma guided them to a single room.

"I know, you guys can't keep your hands to yourselves but don't make much noise ,ok?"

Halmeoni left them gaping at her while she wore a knowing look and winked at them.

Did the habit of winking ran in there family ?

Sungmi thought as she sat on the bed. Inspecting the well decorated room with great curiosity as she watched the beautiful piece of painting hanging on the wall and a vintage camera on a coffee table. Immediately Jungkook headed washroom to freshen up ,leaving Sungmi with ocean of thoughts.

I don't wanna sleep on the floor.

Unknowing she started to have a loathe floor bedding as it brought sad memories to her. She was staring at the floor when Jungkook came back from the washroom, seeing her frozen as if she was enchanted with reverie.

"You can have the bed. I'm gonna sleep on the floor."

As if she couldn't believe her own ears she double took him with a bewildered look.

"No, no , no , no. You can't sleep on the floor! You are Jeon Jungkook."

"Don't be dramatic."

"But if halmeoni sees you on the floor , she's gonna skin me alive along with you."

Sungmi shuddered at the thought, literally imagining how halmeoni was capable of doing anything. Her words echoed in his mind and he's eyes started to pop out at the thought.

"Shit, you are right."

Jungkook seemed to be deep in thought ,gnawing his bottom lip.

"We gotta share the bed."

He was in almost inaudible tone as if he was scared of being heard by anyone. To avoid the awkwardness, she rushed to washroom to have a shower.

When she was about to leave the bathroom, she remember that she didn't bring anything with her as she was asleep. And now she was naked, only a towel covering her essential parts, a wave of deja vu hit hard like a truck. Feeling dejected , she called the person who could help her out.

"Jungkook- ah"

Jungkook strode down to washroom.

"What?"

He asked with annoyance clearly on his face which Sungmi could even see from peeking behind the door of washroom.

"I didn't bring any clo..."

Before she could even finish the line, Jungkook disappeared from her sight. She heaved a sign as she started to think how to sleep in a washroom which looked luxurious than a 5 star hotel.

Not even a minute later Jungkook came with his fist full of garments. She took gladly from his hand, trying hard to stay behind the door. Soon her smile dropped from her face at the sight of her 3 short shorts. Her face instantly smeared in pink colour.

"Jungkook-ah where's blouse? What am I supposed to do with 3 freaking shorts? Wear on head as band ?"

"That's a good idea. "

Jungkook uttered uninterestedly.

Jungkook who was also in hurry while he was packing her dress that he didn't even notice he brought only shorts.

"You are not helping me at all."

Sungmi stomped on her feet feeling irritated at Jungkook.

"Don't whine like cry baby and wait."

Momentarily Jungkook came back with something in his grip and passed out to Sangmi. She was given a plain white shirt which seemed as if it was Jungkook's one of his attires for the office. Her nostril filled with Jungkook's aroma even though it was washed. The shirt ended up on her mid thighs and sleeves were too long for her. But who cared. As long as she's not naked, she could survive.

Sungmi stormed out of the washroom, dying her wet hair with a towel but due to her long sleeves she was having difficulties to move her arm. Jungkook seemed to took a notice of this.

"Tch aish , this girl"

He dragged her by her sleeve and made her stand in between his legs as he sat on edge of the bed. He took her right hand and started to fold the sleeve and did the same thing for left. She looked down at her husband dumbstruck not fathoming why was he being sweet.

He must be bipolar.

"Now sleep. We gotta go home early. I can't afford to miss any work."

He lied on the bed as he made sure she also plopped on the bed, then turned off the light.

.

.

.

At night he heard a familiar cooing sound in his sleep. The cooing didn't seem to stop , reluctantly making him wake up. He turned on the bedside lamp as he found Sungmi curled up into a ball out of cold. He immediately touched her forehead , only to feel burning. He was also having deja vu. But he seemed helpless. Not knowing how to warm her up, he spooned her from her behind and rubbed her arms up and down.

"Shh, you're gonna be alright"

He muttered softly to her as he felt her grip on his hand tighten.

He didn't know when did he drifted back to sleep while trying to warm her up.
