"Hey!!", I shouted grabbing Ho-Jun's attention, who was at present sitting inside my car.
We were on our way to my apartment but we had to drop by a grocery store to buy some stuffs I'll be needing to make dinner.
"Hey! Need any help??", he asked.
"No no, just open the door for me", I replied.
He leaned over and opened the door for me. I put the bags at the backseat and sat on the co-pilot seat and put the seat belt on.
"So, shall we go now??", Ho-Jun asked looking at me.
"Yeah let's go", I said.
It was snowing heavily now, but my apartment was not far, so it only took us ten minutes to reach from the grocery store.
"Is your hyung already here??", I asked looking towards the road, but there was no sign of anyone coming.
"I guess, he's stuck because of the snow", he said.
"Then come upstairs and wait. It's snowing heavily, you might catch a cold if you stay here", I suggested.
"No, it's fine".
"C'mon you don't have to be formal, you also dropped me and helped me earlier".
"But that's.....".
"I'll not hear anymore excuses from you", I said and took his hand.
I pulled him all the way to my apartment and unlocked the door.
"Make yourself at home", I said closing the door.
"Yeah, thanks", he said.
"Go and sit on the sofa, I'm coming after I change my clothes", I said and went inside my room locking the door from behind.
I quickly changed and freshened up and came out of the room wearing a sweatshirt and black pants.
It looked decent and comfortable, my hairs were in a loose ponytail and I've cleaned my face.
As soon as I came inside the living room, I saw Ho-Jun sitting on the sofa and surfing through his phone.
"Hey!", I called grabbing his attention.
"Hey! You're back!", he said.
"Yeah, I'm going to make dinner and I'm making some for you too", I said.
"No no, you don't have to do it", he quickly said.
"It's fine, I don't have any problem to make dinner for one more person", I said making my way towards the kitchen.
"No it's not like that", he said, as he followed me inside the kitchen.
"Then??", I asked.
"Actually, I promised to have dinner with my hyung", he said.
"But where will you guys go in this snow", I asked.
"That....".
"How about I also make some for your hyung and you both can eat it after you get back home", I said with a smile.
"That will be troublesome for you", he said.
"Believe me, it's not!", I said and got down to business.
After that, Ho-Jun didn't protest anymore and stood there quietly. I guess, he knew it was useless to argue with me.
I decided to make Samgyetang also known as ginseng chicken soup and Jajangmyeon, it's noodles slathered thick in a black soybean sauce and kimchi and fried chicken too offcourse.
The thing is, I'm actually curving for some fried chicken right now.
I rolled up my sleeves and started to get down to work.
As soon as I rolled up my sleeves, I heard Ho-Jun gasp in surprise.
I turned around and look at him and saw him looking at my left hand, astonishment visible on his face.
"What happened!?", I asked worriedly looking at him.
"Your left arm...", he said.
"Yeah, what about it??", I asked looking at my left hand.
"Tattoos....", he said.
"Oh! You scared me", I said breathing a sigh of relief.
"Umm well, since I was a teenager, I've wanted to have tattoos, so.....you know", I said shrugging my shoulder.
"Oh I see", he said finally before again going quiet.
I know, it's quiet unlikely for a female doctor to have an arm full of tattoos, from hands to shoulder, although Ho-Jun just saw the front limb.
I also have tattoos on the side of my neck too, but I don't think he saw it cuz I'm wearing a long neck sweatshirt right now.
I still remember how much I was obsessed with tattoos in my teenage days and which results in this.
When my parents saw my left arm, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak and dad shouted at me like anything.
But duh! It's my life and I love it.
It was getting quiet boring now, as I was doing my work and Ho-Jun stood there staring at me and seeing what I was doing.
So, I decided to break this silence, as it was suffocating.
"So Ho-Jun, tell me about yourself", I said and I bet he was surprised as he didn't utter any word for sometime.
"Why??", he asked.
"What, why??", I said.
"Why do you want to know about me??", he asked.
"Well, I want to know you more and duh.... you're standing in my house and I'm making dinner for you, but I don't know anything about you except your name! Don't you think it's kind of weird", I said, looking infront as I continued to do my work.
"Ok then, what do you wanna know??", he asked.
"What do you do to earn for a living??", I asked.
"Umm... I'm an accountant", he replied.
"Cool! Then you might be awesome in mathematics", I said.
"Yeah, I guess".
*********
'For God's sake! Did I just say an accountant', I asked to myself.
I guess, everyone in this planet knows that Jeon Jungkook is horrendous in mathematics.
I just wanted to take back my words.
"Where do you live??", Minji suddenly asked.
"Forest Trimage....", I said and suddenly realised that I made a mistake.
God! What is wrong with my mouth today.
I looked over at Minji, to see her reaction and she stood there motionless and didn't say anything.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?", she screamed turning and looking at me with wide eyes.
"Umm no....", I said in a low whisper.
"Oh my God!! That's were Jungkook lives", she said excitedly looking at me like a child who just found her favourite chocolate.
I couldn't help but smiled widely behind my mask seeing her reaction. She only knew that I live at the same place as that of Jungkook, what will happen when she will know I'm the real Jeon Jungkook.
"Have you ever seen him??", she asked excitedly and I noticed that her hands were shaking in excitement.
"No", I said.
I looked at her face and it became dull and she again regained her composure.
"Oh I see", she said and again turned around to resume her cooking.
For the time being I didn't wanted to tell her that I'm Jeon Jungkook. I don't know why, but I wanted to know about her more and realised that she won't show who she really is infront of Jeon Jungkook, so I've to stick to Ho-Jun to get to know her.
Silence again filled between us, but this time it was not awkward or weird, it was comfortable.
I noticed that how much she remains focused on whatever she's doing. And she was really good in cooking.
"Do you like to cook??", I asked making her stop abruptly.
"Yeah, I like to see people's faces when they enjoy my cooking", she said, as she again continued to do her work.
"What do you like to make most??", I asked.
"I like to make cakes, cookies and other sweet stuffs", she said.
"That's really nice", I said.
"But you won't believe that although I like to make sweet stuffs but I don't like to eat them", she said.
"Why??", I asked.
"I don't know, but I'm sensitive to the taste of sweet things. I can't even eat chocolates properly also, but I've no problem with ice creams and coffee cuz ice cream have coldness enveloped with the sweetness, so it doesn't have that huge amount of sweet taste in it and coffee has a sweet and bitter taste, so I'm comfortable with it", she explained.
"Don't you eat cakes and pastries also??", I asked.
"Yeah I eat but, I can't eat much. I feel like throwing up whenever I eat lots of sweet stuffs", she replied.
"Oh I see", I said.
After sometime she was done cooking and I was amazed at all the dishes she made.
There was Samgyetang, Jajangmyeon, fried chicken and kimchi too. I looked over at Minji and saw that she was putting some foods in the thermal containers, so that they remain hot.
"There you go Ho-Jun", she said, as she handed me the bag with containers.
"Thank you so much Minji", I said looking at her.
"No no, from now onwards you're forbidden to say 'thanks', 'thank you' and 'sorry' to me because you're my friend and I hate to hear this words from the people I love", she said giving me a warning glare that if this happens again, she will beat me up.
"Ok, your highness", I said and bowed and that earn a small giggle from her.
"Let me see if hyung has came or not", I said and took out my phone from my pocket.
"Looks like hyung has came, I'll be going then", I said and put my phone back inside my pocket.
"Ok then, you should get going and don't forget to text me if you liked my cooking or not", she said, as we both made our way to the front door.
"Yeah sure", I said, as I opened the door.
"Take care on the road and drive slowly in the snow", she said.
"Yeah! You too remember to lock the door", I said.
"Yeah".
"Bye then".
"Bye", she said and I turned and left.
As I got inside the elevator, I saw her still standing at the door. As she noticed me looking at her, she smiled and waved bye, I waved back to her and the elevator door closed.
I made my way to the ground floor and noticed Jin hyung's car. I came infront of the driver's window and knocked on it.
I saw the window rolling down and Jin hyung's face came into view.
"Hey, what took you so late??", he asked.
"Minji was making some food for us", I said and showed him the food bag.
"Woah!! It smells good", he said sniffing the bag.
"She also made Jajangmyeon", I said, as I was smiling from ear to ear behind my mask.
Jajangmyeon was one of my favourites and I didn't knew if it was merely a coincidence, but on the second thought how would Minji even know that I like it.
"Why are you in a daze!? C'mon hop in now, or else we're gonna be late to go back home", Jin hyung said and I quickly got into the car.
"Jungkook, have you told Minji who you really are??", Jin hyung asked as we drove towards our home.
"No, I haven't", I said in a low voice.
"Do you ever plan to tell her??", Jin hyung asked.
"Yes, offcourse", I said hurriedly.
"Then why are hiding your true identity from her??".
"I just want to know about her more before I reveal my identity to her".
"Do you love her, Jungkook??".
"N-no it's n-not like that", I shuttered.
"Then, why the hell do you wanna know her??", Jin hyung asked looking at me.
"That....I don't know", I said, actually at that moment I didn't knew what I should say, I was at a lose for words.
I heard Jin hyung sigh and the car turned silent.
Soon we reached home and as we were getting off the car, I heard Jin hyung voice.
"Jungkookie, you should first sort out your feelings before you try to understand her. If your own thoughts are not clear, you can't understand what other people are thinking. Also, you shouldn't drag this game of hide and seek for too long because as much as I know, this game will eventually leave one person heartbroken at the end of it and I don't want you or either that girl to suffer. Although you've seen the world but there are still many things you've to know about this world. Just think about what I just said", with that Jin hyung went upstairs leaving his words lingering in my ears, as I stood there feeling lost.
'What should I do now??', I asked myself, as the snow continued to fall.
