CHAPTER 8

xxxxx

The seven brothers rushed to the young witch's aid. She was screaming while clutching her head in despair. Jungkook held her in his arm as Hoseok tried to call Jinhwan.

"She's gaining back her memories," he said. "But it's too much for her to handle."

"What do we do?" Taehyung asked.

"We need to block it for now," he said and looked at Jungkook. "We have to seal her mind again Kookie or else it'll rip her apart."

Jungkook nodded. He didn't care if she couldn't remember. They can just make new memories. He can just make her fall in love again.

"Yoongi. Do it now."

LALICE

I felt a gentle sqeeze on my hand. I open my eyes.

"Kook..."

"You okay, doll?"

Her gaze scanned the room. Everyone was there. I nodded in response.

"Do you want to eat out, Lis?" Jin asked. "I know you love Gamjatang."

"Or we can head out for shopping," Taehyung suggested. "It's a nice day today."

"Did something happen? Why are you guys all being weird?"

The last I remember was waking up in Jungkook's arms. Did I doze off again?

"We're not being weird. You were knocked out for days so we figured you could use some fresh air or something." Yoongi said. He was sitting at the foot of my bed. Actually, they were all surrounding me.

Jungkook was sitting beside me. I guess he was the who squeezed my hand and pulled me in back to reality.

"I guess we can go shopping," I said. "I could use some more stuff and a brand new bed since Kookie here threw out mine."

"Ya! Ya! Ya! No buying of new bed. Only one bed is enough for this room!" He insisted.

"But it's so small for the both of us!"

"The smaller it it, the better for cuddling!"

I felt my cheeks burn.

"Heol. So bold, Maknae." Jimin teased. "So bold."

"They look like a real husband and wife arguing like that," commented Taehyung.

"We're not!"

"We are husband and wife!"

We both glared at each other.

"Ya!" We said at the same time.

"We're married!"

"I don't remember!"

"Well, we're still married and you can't do anything about it!" He showed his wrist. "This mark is for eternity. And you're bound to me for life."

"Ugh." I rolled my eyes and crossed my arm. I flicked my wrist. He turned into a rabbit. Namjoon and the others laughed.

"What? He was too loud."

"But you agree, don't you? You want to be with him too."

My eyes squinted. "Didn't I tell you to stop reading my mind?"

Namjoon laughed. "I didn't have to, Lis. Your eyes sparkle every time you argue with him. You like arguing with him."

I immediately shielded Kookie the bunny's ears.

"If you want to live, keep it to yourself," I warned him. "This kid here might get cocky again."

"This is why I like her so much." Yoongi wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "Come on. Let's take you out shopping."

"Daebak," Taehyung suddenly reacted. "He must really like Lisa. He's coming shopping--Ah! Apa! Apa!"

"You were saying, Tae?" Yoongi was grinning. He was afflicting pain on the poor guy.

"Nothing! Ah--Apa! Stop it hyung! It hurts!"

Yoongi then smiled and Tae fell on the floor. Jin and Hobi laughed out loud same with Jimin.

"Go and get dressed, Lis. We'll wait for you downstairs."

Jimin took Kookie the bunny from my lap. Was it me or did it just hissed at Jimin?

•o•o•

"Kaja!" I exclaimed as I walked down the stairs. The six guys--plus Kookie bunny, all looked at my direction.

"Woah! You look so pretty, Lisa!" Hobi said. He was carrying Kookie bunny.

Oh right. I almost forgot.

He released the bunny on the ground and I snapped my finger. Kookie turned back to his human form.

"Ya!" He immediately exclaimed. "Your skirt is too short! Change!"

"As I recall, you bought this skirt, Jungkook." I crossed my arms. "It's not my fault you bought me this skirt and that it's too short for your liking."

"Just copy a different one from another magazine!" He insisted.

"Shiruh! I happen to like this skirt!"

"Andwae. Change!" He glared. I glared back.

"Are they gonna be like this all the time, hyung?"

"Seems like it."

"Aigoo."

"Ya you maknaes!" Jin suddenly walked in between us. "Stop fighting for a second, will you? Lisa, it's okay if you don't change. You look very pretty. Kookie, stop acting like a five-year old and let your wife wear whatever she likes."

Wife. Why did I suddenly liked hearing that?

Jungkook huffed then marched out towards the door. Jimin and Taehyung followed him as Jin offered his arm to me. I clung on to him and smiled.

"Thanks oppa. That dongsaeng of yours is just too stubborn. Mianhe for being childish."

Jin smiled at her. Damn he's really handsome.

"You both are." He chuckled. "It's honestly quite entertaining watching the both of you argue over petty things. Just like a normal couple."

I felt my cheeks burn.

All of Bangtan rode their own cars and I was forced to ride with Jungkook.

"Why do you have to have pretty long legs..." he mumbled.

"What?"

"I'm burning that skirt of yours before this day ends."

I rolled my eyes. "You bought this. It's not my fault."

"I didn't know the sales lady put in a skirt that short," he defended. "I'm gonna look for that saleslady again and I'm gonna suck out her blood--"

I laughed. He glared at me.

"Jin was right. You're like a five-year old."

"Yeah well, that doesn't change the fact that I'll burn that skirt of yours."

I was laughing so much the whole way towards the mall. As we got in, people's glances landed on us and I'm not surprised.

Why you may ask? These punks were wearing sunglasses and surrounded me like some badass gangster bodyguards.  With the exception of Jungkook 'coz he was standing beside me and refuses to let go of my hand.

"Let's look for clothes first," Namjoon said. "Any ideas to where?"

"Gucci!" Taehyung exclaimed which earned him a slap on his head from Yoongi. "Waeee? She looks like a Gucci girl!"

"What about here?" Jimin pointed at the nearby boutique. It says Nonagon. "I think this suits her personality."

"She suits Balenciaga." Hobi suggested. "It's colorful."

Jungkook tugged my arm a bit which made me look. "Let's just buy from Puma. They have lots of shirts and sweatpants."

"We can't buy from just one store." Everybody looked at Jin. "We have to go look for different shops and pick what she likes."

Jin held out his hand and guided me towards the first store.

"Just try on clothes you like and we'll get them for you." He smiled. His smile was the warmest. "We'll wait here."

"I have a better idea," I said and sat on the waiting chair of the store. "Since I don't really know the trends, why don't one of you choose some clothes for me while I wait here."

The guys looked at each other then back at me.

"Us?"

I nodded then grinned. Jin and Taehyung immediately looked for clothes while Namjoon, Hoseok and Jimin scratched their napes. Jungkook however just sat beside me.

"There's no sweatpants here. We'll just get some on our way home."

I crossed my arms and shook my head.

A little while later, Taehyung stood in front of me carrying all kinds of clothes. Jin came in running as well.

"Try these! Try these!"

"No, try mine first!"

"Get in queue, hyung. I came here first."

"He's got a point, oppa." I stood up and took the clothes from Taehyung. "I'll try these on and see which ones I like."

As I tried on some clothes, Jungkook just became a total b***h.

"No. It's see through."

"No. It's too short."

"Seriously, I can see your belly button. No!"

"It's like she's not wearing any shorts at all. No!"

"Aish! What the hell, hyung?! It's a bra!"

I just lost my patience.

"Will you just stop being a brat, Jungkook?!" I yelled at him. Everyone started to look. "Will you let me try on some clothes in peace?!"

"But they're making you wear clothes that shows too much skin!"

My hand found its way to my forehead. Jinja, this kid. If he wasn't that cute I would've burnt him since the first dress.

"Then what clothes do you want me to wear?!"

He stood up and grabbed me. We walked out of the boutique and left his brothers there.

Please buy those clothes for me instead, Namjoon. Jebal.

He pulled me in a shop with the words PUMA on the signboard.

"Annyeong haseyo. What can I do for you?" a saleslady said as she approached us.

"Can you show me seven sets of sweatpants that would fit my wife here?" Jungkook said. The saleswoman was shocked.

"Seven sweatpants? D-De. Right here." She showed us some baggy looking pants. "We also have some legging if you'd like--"

"No. It's too tight. Sweatpants will do."

The saleslady showed me different types of sweatpants and tried them on. To be honest, they were so comfy! But it kinda felt hot on my legs.

As I walked out of the fitting room, Jungkook's eyes literally sparkled. I rolled my eyes. If he weren't this adorable, I swear he'd be dead by now.

"We'll take all of it!" He took out a plastic card from his wallet.

As I looked around, I saw this cute pair of shoes.

Court Star

I tugged Jungkook's shirt.

"I want these," I said pointing to the pair. He looked at it and smiled.

"You like it?" I nodded. He turned towards the sales lady. "We'll take two of those please. One 270mm and one 240mm."

Is he getting one for both of us?

"Couple shoes," he said smiling. He seriously looked like a cute little bunny. "I always wanted to wear those."

"Taehyung said you liked Timberlands?"

"We can get one of those too."

"You're weird."

"You're my wife." He winked.

"Tch." I rolled my eyes and turned away.

A smile crept on Lisa's face.

JUNGKOOK

"Traitors! Y'all are traitors, you hear me?!"

I glared at all my brothers as we arrived at the pent. Apparently, they still bought those clothes Lisa tried on in the boutique. They also added more.

"She can't seriously wear sweatpants all the time, Kookie," Hobi said as he helped Lisa cut the tags. "She's a girl. You should remember that."

"But--" i felt Namjoon's hand on my shoulder.

"Lisa likes the clothes. Let her choose freely since she did let you buy her those sweatpants and over sized shirts."

I heaved a sigh. "Fine. But she's not getting out of this house without me if she wears those clothes."

"Your namyeonie is such a psycho," I heard Taehyung whispered to Lisa. She chuckled.

Aww, she chuckled when he mentioned 'nampyeon'...

"He also said you were a psycho." I looked over at Namjoon and he just grinned. I turned to Taehyung.

"Ya!"

"Dinner's ready!"

Everyone automatically moved towards the dining table. Different varieties of meat plus some gamjatang and side dishes were served. As expected from Jin hyung. Paired with blood as beverage, of course.

"Wow. It's like a feast!" Lisa's eyes sparkled. "Daebak!"

"Slow down, Lis." Jimin teased. "There's enough for everyone."

"I know but I'm sticking 'til it's the 4th round."

We all laughed and ate dinner. I looked over to Lisa who's enjoying herself.

I can't help but smile. I miss her, actually. I really do. And it kills me to know that she'll be leaving me again soon.

An ocean of happiness can overflow into a river of tears...
