"What's going on with JK today? Even if you practice all day, it won't be enough...?"
"I heard you have work at home today. Since you're doing well, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take the day off."
"hmm..."
Watching Jungkook pack his bags, change his clothes, and head out, Yeoju asked Hoseok a question. Hoseok answered, then hurriedly added, worried that Yeoju might see Jungkook as a disrespectful, disrespectful kid who didn't practice. Yeoju seemed to think about it, then asked another question.
"How many days do you sleep here?"
"I think I sleep four or five times a week... since we've only been together for a week."
"ah."
Yeoju let out a short, "Ah." Normally, the gang members stay here all week, but Jeongguk only sleeps here four or five times a week, so she figured it wasn't just for gang members. So, if it's not just for gang members, what else could he possibly do...
The female protagonist, who had come up to her room, sent a message to Jimin. He asked her where she was, but she ignored him and asked him more questions. Of course, Jimin didn't seem to mind.
Park Jimin, do you know what Jeon Jungkook does?
Where are you? You weren't at work... I went to see you.
No, I don't know. I just know they're rich...
I didn't get as much information as I wanted, but I did find some good information. A rich family... well, after studying abroad for a long time, it couldn't be an ordinary family. There were several rich families that the female protagonist knew, including Ji-min's family. Unfortunately, there were also many Jeon families.
Finally, she decided to do something she'd never bothered to try. She turned on her computer and opened a program. It displayed a person's information, from name to date of birth, home address, and even family information. It was so complex that anyone unfamiliar with the program couldn't use it. She typed in "Jeon Jungkook" and searched for information. Several names appeared, and Yeoju scrolled down to find "JK." Usually, everything would show up... but nothing.
"... You hid it well."
Yeoju searched for information for a few more minutes before turning off the computer. She packed her bags and headed downstairs to head home early today. She said goodbye to her team members and quickly left the building. She needed to hurry to catch up with Jeongguk. She headed to where she'd parked her car and got in.
I parked my car in front of the supermarket where Jungkook had gone. I had finally found him after searching the neighborhood. I rested my chin on my hand and stared at the entrance. I could hear the hum of people talking and walking outside. Dozens of minutes had passed since I entered the supermarket, and Jungkook still hadn't come out.
From afar, Yoon-gi spotted Yeo-ju's car and walked toward her. He stopped beside her car, glanced at her gaze, and then knocked on the window. Yeo-ju was startled to see Yoon-gi outside the window. Yoon-gi looked puzzled at her appearance. Yeo-ju quickly changed her appearance from "Y" to "Yeon-ah." Fortunately, Yoon-gi didn't notice.
"Mr. Yeon-ah, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, Mr. Yoongi. Just people watching?"
Yeoju rolled down the window and smiled as she answered. Yoongi smiled back and asked her.
"Is it fun?"
The female protagonist awkwardly answered yes to his question. Yoon-ki thought she seemed a little strange today.
Now that she'd met Yoon-gi, she decided she couldn't keep following Jeong-guk around. He'd definitely go to the supermarket and then go home... It was a shame she couldn't even find out his address. Yeo-ju told Yoon-gi she'd try to get home, then drove home. Yoon-gi also got in his car and headed to work.
Arriving home, Yeo-ju sat in her study, lost in thought again. Her thoughts culminated in the question, "Why am I interested in him?" She had always been interested in people, but never to this extent. Yeo-ju felt drawn to him like a magnet. It was simply curiosity, but she felt like there was something between them. Her mind became complicated.
I went to the kitchen and poured myself a drink of water. Something felt off. Aside from the YJ organization member, "JK," and Jimin's middle school junior, "Jeon Jungkook," I felt like there might be something else connecting me to him. But there was no evidence.

It's been a really long time, hasn't it?
I kept saying I had to upload it, but I'm finally uploading it now.
I'm a bit out of it because it's the school week, and I've made two big decisions recently, so I'm a bit mentally exhausted, so I'm only just getting here now.
1=3 As for the publishing cycle, there's no set date, but I'll post at least once a week. If I have enough time, I might post more than two. Since school is only a month away, I'll post more during the break.
Thank you for waiting so far, and thank you for reading.
