Obsessed (18) points
It was two weeks later.
I've been so busy catching up on lab work that I've been busy with. When I returned to the lab after a long time, it was the same. When I grumbled about why I hadn't contacted them, everyone responded, "Why would you contact someone who's sick?"Then why did you send work to a sick child?Everyone was just shrugging it off, and I didn't want to rant any further. From then on, the routine of conducting experiments, collecting data, and analyzing the effects continued.
Jung Hoseok was no different than usual. It was frustrating, but I didn't know much, so I had no choice but to pretend not to know... I still had a lot to teach him, so we often had private conversations, but Jung Hoseok is the type to be very serious when he works, and I'm not the type to share personal stories with him, so there wasn't really anything more to learn. While I was buried in work like that, I occasionally thought of Jeon Jungkook, but I tried hard to ignore him.
. . .
It's 4 a.m., still dark, before dawn.
A corner of the park, a regular meeting point with Chief Seokjin Kim.
We met at the park like this twice a month.
...so...why are you coming out of there....?????
Chief Kim Seok-jin, who always wore a black cap and leather jacket, was not there.Are you late?.. You were always the first to arrive, so I wondered what was wrong.. I was waiting with my hat pulled down low, slightly worried, when suddenly... someone tapped me on the shoulder and I saw Jungkook wearing a black bucket hat and a large sweatshirt. What the heck, you should at least disguise yourself, you're just too much like Jeon Jungkook..
My eyes widened and I looked at Jeongguk in disbelief. Jeongguk, whom I met again at a corner of the park, took the magazine I was reading, took the USB I had in between, and gave it back to me with a different USB. That was how the chief and I exchanged information.
Jungkook's clear eyes, glimpsed from under his hat, were sparkling with joy.
"(Whisper) So who are you...? Why are you here?
"Whispering) It's awkward, so should we walk and talk?"
We entered the depths of a park in the heart of the city. The humid air of the tropical night hit our faces, and we felt drops of moisture forming on our faces. It was a sticky summer morning.
Jungkook walked a few steps ahead and sat down on the bench as if telling me to sit next to him.Oh my... So what are you?....
"So, what about the chief? Why are you here?"
"Just do it first,
It's been a while since we last met, so nice to see you, my friend. How have you been?
Isn't this the first? "
"No, it's okay, Jeon Jungkook, your face looks clean...
Do I really have to say it in words?
Did something happen to the chief?"
"Oh, no...? That's not it... I'm in charge of yours."
"what..? "
It was a time when I needed to call the chief urgently. No, I was trying to forget about that Shakey.Why are you coming out again... I'm so upset... My face became complicated. Should I ask Min Yoongi to change the person in charge? He seemed neat... Anyway, Jeon Jungkook was burdensome. I know he wants to be nice to me, but that kid has malicious intentions, and I can't afford to accept malicious intentions right now. That's why working with someone like this is too dangerous...
"Are you not going to say that you are glad to meet me until the end?
It's been a few weeks since we last met..."
"It's nice to meet you, Jeon Jungkook,
I mean, I don't want to get involved with you publicly."
"What? Public enemy..? Then I'm your friend in private, right?" Right?
"What did he say...
Is now the time to argue about that? I...!!"
"What about me???? I'm your friend, right?"
What are these big puppy-like eyes...?
My head was pounding, so I covered my forehead with my hand.
"Haejoo, I'm so curious to hear from you...
I studied a lot about you...
"Where is your lab? What are your master's and doctoral theses? Etc."
Is this crazy...? You're saying that you did a background check on me... You're such a detective, you can just blurt out things like that to the person involved... And why are you telling me that...? Jeon Jungkook continued talking, ignoring my confusion.
"I asked the chief first, but he said something came up and it would be difficult to meet you.
I was wondering if I should designate someone to meet more secretly, but it just so happened that I was the one who suggested it first.
But since you happen to know me too, you said I would be the right person for the job, so I decided to take charge of it."
No, Mr. Kim Seok-jin...stillYou need to discuss it with me...That guy.. I was trying to avoid.. Seriously.. I didn't even exchange contact information on purpose.. But from the moment I met this guy, the things I wanted to say to the chief piled up. I feel so depressed. Should I just meet Jeon Jungkook now?
"Okay, Jeon Jungkook, you saw my face, so you know I'm okay, right?
I'm going now."
As I was about to say goodbye and leave, Jungkook grabbed my wrist first. I tried to just walk past, but I was helplessly grabbed by Jungkook again.
“Haven’t you had breakfast yet?
It's so nice to meet you. Do you want to come to my house and have a meal?
It's 4 AM now, so I don't think I'll be late getting ready for work even if I eat and go home... I just made some buckwheat noodle soup this morning."
Wow... This kid is really persistent... Anyway, I'm a bit hungry... Will an hour be enough...? I looked at Jeon Jungkook, lost in thought for a moment.
"Hey... I came here riding a bike...
I also need to see what the chief gave me..
I don't know when I'll have time.."
I was hesitating to answer, but Jeon Jungkook cut me off again.
"Really? I came here jogging.
"Then, shall we each separate here and meet in front of my house..?"
Jeon Jungkook turned around as if he was about to run away, as if he was in a hurry. I quickly grabbed the end of his clothes and pulled.
""I don't like being passed by, so get on the back of the bike and I'll give you a ride."
So I put Jeon Jungkook on the back of my bike. When he grabbed my waist, my ears felt a little hot.Why do I always get in trouble with him like this?.. Haa.. I felt sorry for myself the whole time I was riding my bike.
