"kith. kith!" minji seemed can't stop herself from mentioning that word after she saw us.

this is making me even more embarrass.

i'm not even sure if she knows the meaning of our actions just now or not.

"minji, where are you? your daddy's home!"

minji suddenly released her hand from mine and ran towards a pregnant woman that called her. the woman came to this house through a little bridge that i don't really mind existing.

she's her mom, maybe.

"mommy!" minji giggled.

"don't run, minji. walk slowly." the woman said.

wait, but why is there a bridge connecting this house with the house next door?

"jungkook, what is this bridge? is it connected with the house next door?" i turned to look at him, asking something i've been curious about.

"secretary park did mention it in his report and that the bridge will be removed. but i guess they haven't done the construction work yet." he told me.

"so you knew about it?"

"yes."

i see. i looked away to see the mother and daughter again.

why is she look so familiar?

oh!

"that's moon byul-yi!" i whisper-shouted.

that is really her?!

"who?"

"novelist moon byul-yi!" i whispered to jungkook.

"oh? i had heard that president kim's wife was a writer. is she famous?" he asked.

"yes! she's even appeared on television!"

i've been a fan of hers for a long time. is this real life?!

i'm so nervous that i actually could meet her like this in person.

i can't waste this opportunity.

"jungkook, are you familiar with them?" i asked excitedly.

"i know president kim a bit."

"really?! that's great! jungkook, i really like this house..can we go with this one?"

why would i ask when i definitely knew the answer? i know jungkook will always say yes if i ask for something.

i don't want to take a chance from him in a bad way, but i promise this is the first and last i will do something like this.

"there's no reason we can't, but the house needs some work, so we wouldn't be able to move in right away.."

i played with the hem of his shirt.

"we can stay at your current place for the time being. it's not like the other two houses are move-in ready either." i suggested.

"that's true.."

"let's choose this house..please? p-pretty please.."

should i do some aegyo in front of him? so that he can agree with me?

i'm trying so hard to look cute in front of him right now.

but, i could see him blushed. does this mean i have succeeded?

"if this is the house you want, this is the house we'll get." he shyly said.

"yay! thank you, jungkook!" i excitedly thanked him.

woah, this is the first time i saw him act flustered like that. that was so easy!

and he looked so cute in some other way.

"hello! so you've come to see the house?" a voice suddenly approached us from my back.

i turned, looking at one and only moon byul-yi.

ah, i still can't believe it. i need to tell jennie as soon as possible.

"ah, hello! you're novelist moon byul-yi, right?" i asked, smiling ear to ear.

"you know who i am?" she was a bit shocked. why should she think that she is actually not popular?

she is so humble! another reason why i like her so much.

"of course! i'm a huge fan!"

"aw, thank you! did you like the house?"

"yes, it's great! don't you think so too, jungkook?"

jungkook just nodded his head at my words.

"fantastic. i heard this bridge is going to be removed s-"

before byul-yi could finish her sentence, i stopped her, "no! no! if it's all right with you, we'd like to keep it up!"

she smiled.

"we've got fond memories of the bridge, so we'd love for the bridge to stay up. but we're worried that minji might be bothersome." she said, helding minji's small hand.

"it's fi-"

"kith. mommy, kith." the kid suddenly said. here we go again, she just can't stop herself from mentioning that word!

and now, in front of my idol too?!

at this point, her mom perhaps already knew why her daughter kept mentioning that one word.

"oh, minji. i'll give you a kiss later." byul-yi said.

"no, that scary man and the purty lady kith."

w-whaaat?!

ah, this is so embarrassing!

"it seems like minji likes kisses!" i laughed, trying to distract them.

"i like kithes."

"me too."

"daddy likes kisses, too." a male's voice suddenly came to the view.

oh, who's that?

"minji!" the man waved to minji.

"daddy!"

t-that's her dad?! he's byul-yi's husband?

wow, he's handsome.

☁️☁️

why would chaeyoung cover her mouth like that?

is she drooling over that kim seok-jin? he is not that handsome, though.

ahem! i cleared my throat to gain her attention.

"it's been a while, sunbae-nim." i greeted as soon as seok-jin done picking up her daughter.

"yes, it has. i last saw you at the businessmen's gathering. so it's been about six months? i see ji-hyun every once in a while but i rarely get the chance to see you." he laughed.

"ji-hyun did mention your wedding though. it's happening on the twenty-second?" seok-jin asked.

"yes, i hope you and your wife can come and eat if you'd like."

i should've invited them as well since my love likes her idol so much.

"of course we will. are you thinking about buying this house? i thought i heard that you didn't want to live near ji-hyun." he asked.

"i did, but my chaeyoung likes it here. she's pregnant with our child, you know. she likes that the yard is big for children to play in. so we're buying this house." i proudly said, casually putting my hand over her shoulder.

"j-jungkook!" chaeyoung gently elbowed me, her face is so red!

that's cute.

so, don't you ever drooling over someone else beside me!

"oh my, congratulations! this is great. when you move in, we could go to the hospital together. isn't that right, darling?" seok-jin's wife said.

"i'll be taking you to the hospital, my dear.."

"but you're busy at times. i get so upset when you have to work late because you took time out of your day to go to the hospital with me."

"you were?"

this is so awkward, why would they act sweetly in front of us?

yeah, it's romantic. but, is it necessary?

here? in front of me and chaeyoung?

"that's right! i haven't asked for you name yet. what's your name?" his wife asked chaeyoung.

"ah, yes. it's park chaeyoung."

"i'm six months along. what about you, chaeyoung?"

"i'm at eleven weeks." chaeyoung gently rubbed her flat tummy.

"oh, so it's still early for you! then let's go in for our check-ups together later on."

"i would lo-"

there's no way i will agree to that part, so i interrupted chaeyoung's word.

"i don't think so byul-yi-nim. this is our first child, so i want to make sure i'm there for all the appointments."

chaeyoung abruptly looked at me weirdly.

what?

did i say something wrong?

"oh, that's right! i hadn't thought about that. that's too bad."

but my chaeyoung here looked like she wanted to deny my words, so i gently squeezed her shoulder, stopping all her actions.

"when do you plan on moving in? if you'll be getting rid of the bridge.." seok-jin suddenly asked.

"chaeyoung said she likes the bridge." his wife said.

"if jungkook also agrees, then we'd like to keep the bridge up. would that be all right?"

before i could answer his question, chaeyoung suddenly patted my chest.

she is again showing those puppy dog eyes from earlier.

why is she making me fluttering so much? didn't she know that she is so freaking cute acting that way?

"yes, it's fine. it'd be a shame to get rid of this bridge." i eventually said.

i saw chaeyoung cheered quietly beside me.

"great to hear. this makes me happy."

"yes, it is."

yes, chaeyoung is happy. that means i am also happy.

"you'll have a housewarming once you're all settled in, won't you?"

"yes, of course."

☁️ ☁️

woah, i still can't believe byul-yi is my neighbour.

i sat on the chair of my study table in my room. the room is now a bit empty, only some furnitures are left.

my stuff has already been moved to jungkook's place. the honeymoon's been pushed back to a later time.

and now that my room is empty, i don't have anything left to do.

i sighed.

am i really getting married?

my room's door suddenly creaked open after a few knocks from jennie.

"oy, chaeyoung." she called me.

"since when do you knock? it's so unlike you." i playfully teased her.

she looked at me annoyingly.

"why are you complaining even when i'm being nice?"

"it's because you usually don't."

"stop complaining and come out."

i plopped my upper body on the study table, "but why?"

"this is your wedding. a once-in-a-lifetime event. don't you want to look pretty for it? come on."
