when we arrived at the nice aesthetically pleasing apartment building with its clean lines and perfectly maintained landscaping. It seamed to perfectly fit Jungkook temperament.
the gleaming windows and flowers that were maintained and orderly made Anna feel like she was truly stepping into Junkook's domain.
Anna followed Jungkook to the lobby with relaxed strides as if it was her home. She took in the artwork and the decorations with a appreciative eye.
following the massive man to the elevator she couldn't wait for Jungkook to show her his personal domain.
Jungkook took out a key and put it in the panel where the floor buttons were, above it ,it said penthouse.
she gave him a raised eye and asked, "so your showing the boss suite huh?"
A small smirk showed on his face before replying, "didn't you know I am the boss and the owner of this building. I even moved my parents here they are on the fourth floor though."
"that is sweet you love your parents enough to move them in with you." Anna was truly touched by his sincerity towards his parents.
they road the the elevator up in silence, Anna swaying back and forth to the music playing.
Jungkook was watching her from the the corner of his eye, an amused smirk on his lips.
the doors opened to a nice floor to ceiling white entryway with gold trims, the floor was white and grey marble with a creamy white runner embossed with gold.
the entryway lead to a black white and gold living room, that had a black leather couch and love seat with a black panther coffee table and a white tiger rug underneath it.
A large fireplace was place right in the couches view with a large portrait. encased in a gold frame of him and his family on the mantle.
there was a card on the table with the running man logo on it.
Jungkook reached out and picked it up reading it out loud, "dare, you have five hours to make this home for a married couple..."
raising an eyebrow I asked, "do you mind this?"
he gave a self defeated chuckle and replied, "this is why you don't, want the producers to produce more than one show at a time. things tend to overlap in shows."
"true, but what are we going to do?"anna smiled at him with a curious look in her eyes.
she then looked around and said, "its already pleasing to the eye but where are the plants? can I look at your kitchen and bed rooms?"
I then started to look around and open doors, I found a fully equipped gym in the first room, the second room was his sound studio that was equiped the the latest digital audio workstation, (d.a.w. for short) everything was new.
my fan girl was out and I looked the station over running my hands over it with a dreamy look.
the music I could make with this a song was stirring in my head.
took out my phone and started to sing:
my heart is pounding the hope is alive
the fingers are strumming
not letting the dream die
your love is for me
lets dance the night away
like the music is going to fade
lets d-a-n-c-e lets d-a-n-c-e
lets d-a-n-c-e lets d-a-n-c-e
so we dance in the sky
the music is thumping
the lyrics ringing in my head
lets dance the night away
like the music is going to fade
lets d-a-n-c-e lets d-a-n-c-e
lets d-a-n-c-e lets d-a-n-c-e
Don't waste your love, just let it last
'Cause once it's gone it's never coming back
It's true
Could you love me the same?
Tell me what makes you stay
lets dance the night away
like the music is going to fade
lets d-a-n-c-e lets d-a-n-c-e
lets d-a-n-c-e lets d-a-n-c-e
I was about to sing another lyric when Jungkook clapped.
I was so startled I jumped putting my hand to my chest patting it to slow down my running heart.
I gave him a wide eyed look and asked, "why did you scare me like that?"
he laughed and answered, " I have been next to you for awhile. its you who were not vigilant enough to notice me."
my inspiration gone I turned the phone recording off and asked, "so, I have some ideas but can I do anything I want?"
He smirked took my hand in his and in a flamboyant way said, " if you wish it so I will grant it my Angel."
He then kissed the tips of my fingers, making me turn a ripe tomato red.
I fanned my face saying, "if you keep this up I might have to keep you in my harem and never let you out."
" that sounds interesting, but isn't it me who is supposed to have a harem?" he asked with his eyebrow raised.
looking into his beautiful eyes I said, "its called polyandry and its the female version of polygamy. the practice or custom of having more than one wife or husband at the same time."
"That's kinda a very feminist way of thinking about harems, like if boys can do it why can't I mentality. I like it." He smiled while thinking out loud.
I'm impressed that he was not completely dismissive of the notion and really considering the novel idea.
We went to his enormous kitchen, with white upper cabinets and teal couners it went well with the dark butcher block counter tops, and I was in love it was I'd love the details in the stained glass windows that were floor to ceiling looking out onto the city.
Teal glass rail road tile backsplash for the counters, the copper, gold and Teal tiles for behind the modern day vintage stove and oven.
He even had a deep copper sink with several features along with a very high-tech dishwasher.
I was excited I could hear the subtle hum of the 1950s style teal refrigerator. I was also excited that I was finally seeing a kitchen that was big enough to possess a island, no longer will I be the only one in the kitchen because there's no room for anybody else to maneuver. The white marble flooring has gold, copper, and grey veins in it.
The breakfast nook was large it had a large u shaped padded teal benches with a large dark wood table in the middle and two sleek style chairs at one end there was a bowl of fruit in the middle next to a vase with purple hydrangeas inside.
On the left was a pantry that was so large my living room could fit into it it was stocked with everything I could ever want need or think of, healthy snacks, cereals, grains, even canned goods.
I learned after looking in the cabinets on one wall the were hidden refrigerators full of drinks preprepared food, one drawer had live seafood, everything neatly stored and in their own little place completely organized and accessable.
I've been looked for all the kitchen appliances.
All I found were a coffee pot, a blender, a hot plate for the Hotpot pot on top, and a toaster oven.
The man had no kitchen towels his kitchen knives were lacking along with his other cooking utensils, I was surprised to see him lacking in dishes also.
I took out a pad and started to write down my thoughts to keep them organized, you could tell his mama had no hand in decor or helping him with his kitchen accessories.
He didn't even have a proper trash can.
I looked at him and asked, " I can change anything? Everything is fine but could be better. It's very.... Organized but lacks a personal touch."
His bedroom and the other bedrooms were also lacking in personal touches all just very organized and clean.
The only indication he was living here was the sound room, the big family portrait, the food and a toothbrush.
I got on my phone and started to buy flowers from a flower boutique, kitchen things and other things like bedding new linens and the like. I found some Turbo Funko Pop figures and got those.
I then asked, "may I put things on your wall?"
He gave me a raised eyebrow then said, "only if you're willing to take responsibility afterwards."
I smiled at him and said,"I am the luckiest girl ever I get to be the first girl to bring in the chaos of having a home not just a house to you. You know what they say? A man will build a house and a woman will come along and build a home with the house."
I looked at my phone checking the time and then asked, " can I have yours and you're mom's phone number?"
He took my phone and input the numbers for me into my contacts.
I got a little too excited and hugged and kissed him on the cheek, he froze and blushed like a he had never been mulled by an over excited fan before.
I then skipped to the and made a call, his mom picked up after the second ring, I introduced myself and asked," umm. Mother can I have your help? I have a challenge with your son to make his house a home and only have 5 hours... Everything should be arriving in an hour but to be honest I am a single female and I don't know what would be necessary for a married couple to have. I can't ask my mother she is not in my life anymore so I can only ask you. If that's alright?"
With a choked up voice she replied, "oh, sweet girl, I have read about you, and it would be my honor to teach you how to be a good wife and make a home for a husband. I will be up in 20 minutes."
I smiled at my phone and said, " please take your time and not rush your health is more important so is your safety."
We hung up and I realized that I had a big ass bruise on my nose and bruises all over, I ran to the first bathroom I could and got my makeup kit out of my bag and started to do a better cover up fixing my hair
When Mother Cho came I grabbed Jungkooks arm and started fan girling she was so cute, I let go and handed her my notepad and asked," can I get your autograph and a picture? I would also love a hug!"
She laughed at my antics and said, " surely you are mistaken I am not famous."
I nodded my head and said," yeah you are! I love all the episodes of my little old boy your in. Your comments and facial expressions are the cutest thing I've ever seen!"
She giggled and said, " how can I refuse such a pretty and single fan of mine?" She then gave Jungkook a pointed look as if to say " she is young, sweet, rich, and single get to work boy!"
I laughed at this and said, " I just got out of a horrible relationship I don't think he is ready for my broken heart. Let it mend first."
She took my hand and said, " their are many frogs out there but one day, you will find a prince among them."
I gave her a hug and said, " you're the best mother of all the mother in the world!"
After getting an autograph and a picture with her she and I got down to business.
We were only interrupted by a horde of delivery men.
By the time we were finished organizing and getting things in there place it was almost lunchtime, I looked at Mama Cho and said, "why don't you relax with your son and I make all of us some lunch?"
She gave her son a distasteful look and asked, "why would I spend time with him when I could spend it with you?"
I smiled at her antics and said, "because you raised a good boy, but if you want we can leave him alone and I will cook while you keep me company."
She nodded and asked, " what are you going to cook? Is there anything that you need ingredient wise I will send my son for them."
I gave them a look and said, " I should have enough what do you want to eat I can cook, French, Italian, Korean, Chinese,or American food?"
She smiled and said," Korean food is the best."
I nodded and went to the kitchen I Tteokbokk
Kimchi, stir fried Beef Bulgogi, Bibimbap, and for soup I did Galbi Tang.
While cooking I asked her opinions and had her try everything before deciding if it was done or not, twords the end of my cooking she asked,"are you sure you're not willing to date and marry my son? You're cooking is amazingly delicious."
I gave her a nod and said,"it wouldn't be fair to your son I have to deal with my emotional baggage. He definitely deserves a calm kind woman that will make him feel less stress when he comes home not more, someone emotionally mature enough to handle a family. I am sadly very immature and a emotional dumpster fire in my head."
She nodded her head understanding that it wasn't her son that I was rejecting it was myself.
She nodded and I set the table which now had a vase full of purple hydrangeasgarden roses, spray roses, dahlias, and baby's breath.
The house now had greenery all over that will probably a better air quality, I even had him pick up picture frames small medium and large.
All that needs to be done is his bedroom I had bought a dragon and Phoenix red silk bed set.
It went perfectly with his black and grey theme with a perfect pop of color I even added a his and her nightstand with a place to charge your phone, and smartwatch and a bow for Jewelry and a wallet on each side.
He had 3 guests rooms each one had a different color scheme with yellow, blue and green bedding.
I knew that the camera Crew and staff was about to show up so I made way too much.
I only knew this because Allen showed up to get me ready, he was tisking at my heavy makeup.
We all gathered around the table and ate with gusto he informed me that today was a vote day on the single males houses. The single females will be voting for a house that wasn't theirs that they decorated.
I nodded and said, " that is to be fair, or everybody would vote for themselves and no one would win."
The crew came during lunch and we're very grateful that I made enough for them it was a sight to see a bunch of grown men and women fighting over food.
mama Cho then said," it's official you are my favorite female friend of my sons none of the others cook this well. If I had a daughter in-law that could cook like this I would never go out to eat again. Are you sure you're an American?"
I not even said born and bred American but I am a descendant of native American and Asian. One day I'll text you when I'm going to make traditional native American food and have you try that."
I never knew an older woman could get a fire behind her eyes like this one could, and it wasn't out of anger it was out of passion for food.
Whenever one was finished eating I started to clean up only to be pulled aside by Mama Cho who represented me saying, " your a guest I already feel bad about letting you cook for everyone there will be no you cleaning. "
I nodded and then went with Alan to the yellow guest room and let him doll me up.
When Alan saw all the bruises and my newly fixed broken nose, he gasped in shock, right as mama Cho came in.
Mama Cho's eyes got big and round she shut the door quickly and quietlythen an understanding dawned on her and she said while looking at all the bruising, " I know it's not my place, but you deserve better, no man should ever hurt a woman like this."
I looked at her and stated, " he didn't do this to me, his mistress did my groupmate from the angels.the worse part is I loved and trusted them both I gave them everything I sacrificed myself for them."
Even though I was only in a camisole and jeans I felt naked, I think this was my breaking point, I sat on the edge of the bed and started ugly crying.
Allen was the first to hug me and Mama Cho followed they hugged me until I felt better.
I really needed a emotional release and someone to tell me that I would be okay.
Once I cried it out I felt better and Mama Cho went out to get me a bag of peas and two hard boiled eggs.
When she was back I put the peas on my face and she and Allen rubbed the eggs on my arms to take away so of the bruises.
I was almost like magic the bruises on my arms faded and my nose didn't hurt as much.
Allen handed me my new shirt, I added my gold ticket to it hiding it with my name and put it on u then let him do his magic with my hair and makeup.
When done I gave Mama Cho and Allen a hug and said, "thank you I needed the hug."
I then straighten my back, and went to work like nothing was wrong.
As I was sitting on the couch with Jungkook talking I saw a very cute mama Cho try and be stealthy and going to the kitchen to put up the eggs and peas.
I smiled and giggled to myself, whoever gets her as a mother-in-law is going to have the best life ever.
A few minutes later the doorbell ring and the rest of the cast flooded in only girls that were left were ji hyo and So-Min.
Haha's eyes got big and he let out a low whistle impressed.
He looked at me and said, " this got to be you he's so emotionally stunted when it comes to home decor that it couldn't be him at all."
The family portrait then started showing a video of a before, I think it was cool that the TV doubled as a family portrait.
I replied, " nope not all me I had help.
Mama Cho then came out eating some of our lunches leftovers looking like a kid that got caught in the cookie jar.
Have I mentioned how cute this woman is I just want to hug her and keep her all to myself.
Big nose looked at her and said," wait you had lunch? Mrs Cho did you cook? Wait I know that smell, Anna cooked! That's not fair! I want some too!"
He ran up to mama Cho with big puppy dog eyes and asked, "is there anymore?"
She nodded and I sat back and watched as the chaos unraveled between all the cast members trying to get to the kitchen.
After all of us settled and everybody had a plate and sitting around the kitchen nook table happily ready for the food and the camera men already filming Yoo Jae Suk started his mc thing.
" Who ever gets the most votes for their home gets to pick three items to eat everyone else has to do a penalty game for food. Since this is the first home to inspect everyone go look around and take notes.
