"Let's flirt, officially"

72 • A Day in the Life of Jungkook and Jia (3)

김지아

Dude, I hate you-!!!

The tears that finally burst out. You, who was clearly flustered by the tears that burst out with a "Ppuaeng_", hurriedly tried to get down to eye level and run,

전정국

Ah, wait a minute_ Ji-ah. Why are you crying all of a sudden-ㅎ…

김지아

Dude, you lied to me-!!

As Jia shouts in an angry voice, you turn your head and look at me with pitiful eyes.

도여주

What, why? Don't look at me-

There's no way I could help him easily. I've already warned him several times to stop teasing me.

He seemed upset by the cold answer and mouthed the words, “That’s cruel.” Then he turned his head back to Jia and held her in his arms, soothing her with a “Wow, wow.”

전정국

Ah, Jia… I did something wrong-

김지아

No, it's not Oppa, it's Arthur!!!.

Ji-ah, who had been burying her face in Jeong-guk's shoulder and crying, cried out, "Stop crying!" at the mention of "oppa," and then buried her face again and cried the most sorrowful tears of her life.

전정국

Oh, yeah… Sir…

전정국

Since I did everything wrong, can't you forgive me?

김지아

Dude, you're bad!!!.

The female protagonist, who almost begs and pats Ji-ah on the back to try to comfort her, sighs at Ji-ah, who still doesn't seem to be getting better, and extends her arm.

도여주

Jia-ah, should I hug you?

He begins to comfort Jia, who is in his arms, in a soft voice, saying, “Wasn’t the uncle bad?”

Strangely enough, Jeongguk was so amazed that he couldn't close his mouth when he saw that Jia stopped crying as soon as she was held in the heroine's arms.

도여주

If you don't buy it for me, I'll buy it for you. So don't cry.

도여주

What if I ruin all your pretty faces?

김지아

Arasser…

After confirming that the crying had completely stopped, Yeoju held Jia in one hand and brought rice to her mouth with the other hand.

도여주

Instead, you should finish eating, right?

김지아

Yeah-

Aang- The female protagonist started feeding Jia, who opened her mouth with a sound, by putting a spoon in her mouth.

Jungkook is anxious and fidgets at the sight of Yeoju holding Ji-ah while she is pregnant, and he doesn't know what to do.

전정국

Me, should I hug you…?

도여주

It's okay - I wonder if I can't do something like this?

전정국

still…

…

Before she knew it, all the food was gone, leaving only an empty plate. Ji-ah came down from Yeo-ju's arms and handed the empty plate to Jeong-guk.

김지아

Hey, Unnie, it's so sad... The dishes are being cleaned up.

전정국

Yeah?, Ah… Yeah.

Jeongguk takes the bowl and heads to the sink. Ji-ah stares at him for a moment, then gestures to Yeo-ju.

김지아

Sister, just lie down and sleep.

도여주

Huh? Why?, Do you have something to say to Sister Jia?

Whisper whisper- ]

도여주

Huh?, What?… Heh

김지아

Sister, you're having a hard time with Afro. Arachi?

도여주

Ah, yes yes - you have to listen carefully to what our Miss Jia says.

It was so funny that Jia said that to her, and the female protagonist reached out and stroked Jia's hair.

도여주

But- surprisingly, there are many things that Jia doesn't know-?

김지아

Hmm?, What is it?

The female protagonist also whispered something in her ear, and when Jia heard the female protagonist's words, she was startled and opened her eyes wide.

김지아

Huh? Really…?

도여주

Well then - of course it's true.

After making a face of disbelief, he quickly met eyes with Jeongguk, who had just finished washing the dishes, with suspicious eyes.

전정국

…?

김지아

Huh, he was surprisingly a good person.

전정국

What, what is…?

김지아

No. Look again.

Jeong-guk was dumbfounded by Jia's words. The female protagonist, who couldn't help but laugh at the amusing situation, made excuses, saying it was nothing.

전정국

What the…? Did you curse at me?, right?

도여주

No. I complimented you. Right?, Jia.

김지아

Mom, I'll tell you what to do.

Still fresh, Jia said with her arms crossed.

…

김석진

Thank you for seeing me today.

Ji-ah fell asleep while playing happily. Seok-jin patted Ji-ah on the back with his hand and said.

도여주

No, haha. I had fun too-

전정국

… Well, I’m doing okay.

김석진

By the way, I think Jia really liked those two. She's really shy.

전정국

You're shy? Are you serious…?

#Jia in Jungkook's memories.

김지아

Arthur!!!

김지아

Ukishine, is this a person's thing? Is yours my thing?

김지아

I hate Arthur-!!!

전정국

You know what it means to be shy, right?

김석진

You guys must have really liked it. You fell asleep like this.

도여주

We had fun too. If you have any requests for help next time, feel free to ask again.

김석진

Oh, really? Thank you so much…

Seokjin, who had a relieved expression, had been staring at the back of Yeoju's head, his already round eyes growing even wider.

도여주

Please enter carefully.

김석진

Huh?, uh… I have to go in quickly.

“……”

Seokjin turns around to go back inside the house. He is startled by Jeongguk looking at him with a blank expression.

도여주

Oh, surprise…!!

도여주

Why are you looking at me with that expression…?

전정국

…What did you talk about with Zia earlier?

도여주

talk?.

전정국

What did you say to that guy earlier in private?

도여주

Ah, that- I really did praise you.

전정국

lie.

도여주

Seriously though-

전정국

lie-!!

#Epilogue

Yeoju and Jia were whispering to each other-

김지아

Sister, isn't Soljigi Arthurti your husband, your son?

김지아

They say that men like that will make you jealous later on.

김지아

Sister, you're having a hard time with Afro. Arachi?

도여주

Uhh... Uhh. Okay.
