Breath of Cherry Blossoms || Jongkook & Jihyo
The sun had just risen when Jongkook opened his eyes from slumber, the sun rays illuminating his room into bright shades of reds and oranges. He stared up at his ceiling and blinked, and again in attempt to clear his sleepiness. It was his off day from the academy, and with no schedule planned for the day, he actually felt like lazing around for once.
It wasn’t until much later that he finally rolled off from his bed and got into the bathroom for a quick morning shower. He got out very soon later, wearing a fresh set of his usual tank top and shorts, white towel on his head as he dried his wet hair.
As he past by the corridor to get to the kitchen, he felt an unexplainable forlorn ache upon seeing the empty master bedroom. His father hadn’t been back home for days. Was the current crime case he was handling so complicated that he didn’t even have the time to come back home to sleep? Or did he just plainly did not want to see his son who had inevitably caused his wife’s early death?
With an empty feeling he couldn’t shake off, he averted his gaze from the room and continued his way to the kitchen. He was about to pour himself a glass of water when the doorbell rang. He looked up in surprise. Who would be at his house at this time of day when he hadn’t planned for anything?
Within the next second the doorbell was rang three times consecutively, as though the person ringing was starting to get impatient. He set his glass down and hurried over, his face one of an astonishment when he opened the door.
“Jihyo?”
What was she doing in front of his house? Though not that he minded it. In fact, he felt a burst of happiness when he saw her smiling up at him through her long eyelashes.
