THE LITTLE BRAT'S SWEET AND SASSY

THE LITTLE BRAT SWEET AND SASSY
It was late summer and dark clouds shrouded the land. The air was humid and stuffy.
Business was bad for this coffee shop as it was deserted.
A pale and slender figure stood behind the counter.
The dim yellow light shone on his like the moonlight, covering him with shadows.
His head was hung low, and the front of his hair was let down. His straight nose and lashes that were as black as crow’s feathers could be barely seen.
His white and silky skin was a little pale, but it was unbelievably smooth as if his whole person seemed to be glowing.
A person with a babyface walked toward him after he was done keeping all the tableware
babyface
“Kookie, I heard that you’re leaving tomorrow?
Jungkook
(Nodded softly.)
“Yeah.”
babyface
“Then it’ll be hard for us to meet again…”
(sighed as she hesitated to continue.)
They all knew that Jungkook grew up with his grandmother since he was a child.
However, Jungkook grandmother passed away due to a heart attack two weeks ago.
Thus, his custody was given to his mother.
No one knew that his mother was still alive and that he even married into a wealthy family. Moreover, his mother was in Seoul now, which was only an hour away from Gyeonggi-do.
babyface
“Your mother must be missing you after not meeting you for so many years,”
( uttered dully.)
Suddenly, Jungkook stopped and lifted his eyes.
he had a pair of extremely gorgeous almond eyes where the inner corners were pointy and the outer corners were slightly lifted upward. His eyes looked clean and clear. His pupils were dark and deep like the night, adding a touch of coldness to them.
Jungkook
*Lifted his lips, and there were ripples of light deep inside his eyes. he then spoke in a gentle tone,) “Maybe"
If his mother really missed him even just a little, he would not have hidden from him for so many years.
His father,Jang Hyuk, was just an ordinary guy from a normal family background. Due to his handsome appearance, he was able to coax to marry him.
Nonetheless, it did not last long. After their marriage, Jang Hyuk was jobless and unambitious. Son Ye-jin could not put up with such a horrible life, so she filed for divorce and left the family when Jungkook was six years old.
A month after Son Ye-jin left, Jang Hyuk was sentenced to life imprisonment because he was drunk driving and got involved in a hit-and-run which took away somebody’s life.
Since then, it was just Jungkook and his grandmother.
If his grandmother had not passed away all of a sudden, Jungkook felt that she would never get a chance in his life to meet Son Ye-jin again.
Surely, no one would fancy a burden like Jungkook.
Everybody knew the reason. However, Jungkook only desired love from his family in his previous life, which was dumb and naive of him. he was disfigured, shamed, lost everything, and her reputation was tarnished. Finally, he was locked in a sanatorium for a year and met his end there.
However, Jungkook realized he was turned back into a 17-year-old when he woke up once again.
Luckily, everything was just getting started.
Back then, Jungkook would be over the moon whenever they talked about it, but…
For some reason, Jungkook had changed a little after he caught a high fever three days ago.
Jungkook phone vibrated in her pocket.
he took out her phone and glanced at it. It showed a string of numbers from Seoul.
His gaze stopped for a moment. Jungkook then declined the call and set the phone in silent mode.
babyface
Asked her curiously, “Who’s that?”
Jungkook
Answered her casually, “I don’t know. Maybe it’s a scam call.”
She was supposed to have a night shift, but she had some issues with her family. Therefore, Jungkook took the initiative to take over her shift, and her colleague was thankful to him.
babyface
I’m leaving now, Jungkook! Be careful when you’re returning home later.”
Jungkook
Jungkook smiled and waved goodbye to her.
The sky was getting darker.
The thunder rumbled, and it started to rain.
Jungkook had already worked in the coffee shop for another two hours, and the time showed that it was 10:00 p.m.
he sat on a stool, tearing off post-it notes and writing something on them.
Suddenly, there came a strident honking from a car outside.
Jungkook raised his head and looked out to see a black Cayenne stopped outside the shop.
Slowly, he sat up straight.
The driver got out of the car and opened an umbrella before he strode to the back seat.
A well-dressed lady got out of the car and entered the coffee shop.
Under the lights and shade, it could be seen that the lady had been taking exceptional care of her face.
Yet, the expression on her face was extremely terrible.
The lady scowled while gazing at Jungkook. She had seen Jungkook photos before. This was the first time the both of them were officially meeting after 11 years.
The young boy in front of her was wearing a casual black T-shirt that occasionally revealed his exquisite collarbone. His smoky gray skinny jeans outlined her straight and long legs.
She was stunning with a languid and unrestrained vibe between her eyes.
The driver, Zhou Hua, stood aside while looking at Jungkook with contempt.
Jungkook Never showed the intention of standing up and greeting her even after she had come into the coffee shop. Her entire body was exuding with indifference.
Was this the way he treated her own mother?
Such an ignorant brat!
Son Ye-jin felt it too, and her face was gloomy.
Son Ye-jin
(Paused for a second before she tried to speak softly)
“Jungkook, I went to your school just now. Mr. Zhang said that you haven’t been attending your classes these few days. You’re not going to school. Why are you stuck here?”
Son Ye-jin only made her way to this place after asking around, and they really did have a hard time searching for it.
Jungkook
(Re-capped the pen and replied to his gently,)
“I had a fever the last three days and just got better today. Besides, I’m in debt now because of my grandma’s funeral. That’s why I came here to work so that I can clear my loan.”
Son Ye-jin
“I called you so many times just now, why didn’t you pick up?”
Jungkook
(Frowned a little before reaching for his phone. Sure enough, there were plenty of missed call notifications on his screen, and he uttered in shock)
“I see. I thought it was a scam call.”
Of course, he had not saved Son Ye-jin contact number on her phone.
Son Ye-jin shut her eyes for a minute.
Back then, she had never imagined that she would come back to Busan again after deciding to leave everything behind and get out of that place.
Her past marriage and her son—those were the things that she would never want to talk about.
The lee family was distinguished and eminent in Busan. had put in a lot of effort to maintain a firm position in the family.
She finally got Lee Hyun Bin daughter, lee so hee to accept her. She even had a son named Lee Cheng. Just when Son Ye-jin thought that she could enjoy her life, who knew that Jungkook would suddenly come out of nowhere?
Actually, Son Ye-jin was reluctant to be here, but she had no choice.
Besides, she could not help but recall her sorrowful past when she saw Jungkook. As such, it made her unable to get close to Jungkook no matter what.
Son Ye-jin
“You don’t need to worry about it. Go pack your things and follow me back to Incheon tonight.
Son Ye-jin tone was firm as she turned around and left after finishing her sentence.
Jungkook
(replied to her)
“I can’t finish packing tonight, so I can’t leave tonight.”
Son Ye-jin
(Turned her head and uttered a little impatiently,)
“What are the things that you need to pack from that house? Everything’s ready for you at Incheon, you—”
Jungkook
“I’m not used to using other people’s stuff,”
Son Ye-jin
Heart shook a little.
She Had told lee so hee that she would be home by tonight. If it were not because of Jeon, she would not have dragged this matter on until now.
The rain was getting heavier.
Zhou Hua’s expression changed after he took a glance at his phone.
Zhou Hua’s
“Madam, the highway back to Incheon is closed because of the heavy rain.”
Son Ye-jin
“What?”
<stunned.>
They might be unable to return home tonight.
Jungkook
(Propped his face on his hand.
he Did not have much to pack. he just did not want to leave at night.)
On this day in her past life, it was raining cats and dogs in Busan. Dozens of cars were involved in a pileup on the highway, causing three deaths and seven injured.
As for Jungkook, he was one of them.
Zhou Hua and Son Ye-jin were lucky enough to suffer minor injuries during that accident, but Jungkook right arm was fractured and he needed three months to recover from it.
The most important thing was his right arm had lost part of its function after that car crash.
At that time, Jungkook felt like the car had some issues and wanted to check on it. However, he was told that the car had been scrapped and he could not investigate anything else.
Jungkook would never take the risk again if he was given a second chance.
Son Ye-jin
(Since the situation was a little different,Son Ye-jin said)
“Then, I’ll make a call home to let them know I’m staying here tonight. Zhou Hua, get us a hotel
Jungkook
(Uttered)
“I’m staying at my house.”
Son Ye-jin Scowled as she glanced at Jungkook while making the call.
She had nothing else to say since Jungkook was insisting. Nevertheless, she would never step foot into this filthy place again
Son Ye-jin
(Adjusted her scarf before she uttered)
“Zhou Hua, send her back home.”
Half an hour later, the black Cayenne entered an old town area.
In all these years, the east side of Gyeonggi-do developed rapidly because it was just next to busan.
Meanwhile, the west side of Gyeonggi-do was dilapidated and worn-out.
Finally, the car stopped in front of an alley.
The rain had gotten lighter. Potholes were vaguely visible on the narrow road under the dim streetlights, and the building beside them was patchy and dilapidated.
Son Ye-jin shifted her gaze away from it in disgust after she took a look at it.
She sat still in her seat.
Son Ye-jin
“I’ll be here tomorrow at 8:00 a.m.”
Jungkook carried his black backpack, got out of the car swiftly, and left.
In the dark, Jungkook held an umbrella with one hand. His back was slender and thin, but it was straight and full of pride.
A white car passed by them.
Jhope was driving as he questioned idly
Jhope
“I really don’t know what’s good about this tiny Gyeonggi-do that’s worthwhile for you to come here every month? You come here and do nothing else, just wandering around the streets. It has almost been a year. Do you really think that I’m your driver?”
At the front passenger seat, a man was tilting his head while looking out the window.
He was fair, and his black hair was hanging down. The curve from his brow ridge to his nose was perfect. Even his jawline was clean and sharp.
The man wore a black suit with two buttons unbuttoned at his neck, revealing his sexy Adam’s apple.
Black and white, the two colors were well-defined but blended perfectly.
His posture was casual and lazy, yet his brows and eyes were cold as they exuded an emotionless vibe.
He opened his mouth, and his tone was hoarse because he did not sleep well yesterday
He was really handsome, but it was unsure who could deal with his weird behavior.
Jhope
(Coughed when he recalled Old Master Kim instruction, and he said) “Listen to me. This is not the way you deal with it. It has already been a year. You should go and consult a psychiatrist…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Jhope realized the man had sat up straight and was staring outside.
He shifted his gaze as well, and he saw a familiar license plate.
Jhope
“It’s just the Lee family. Wait a minute, don’t tell me that you fancy the young boy?
Kim Taehyung
“The Lee family?”
Jhope
“Lee Hyun Bin current wife has a son with her ex-husband. The son is homeless now and the Lee family said they want to bring him back home. I guess the boy life isn’t going to get any easier.”
Kim Taehyung
(Pondered for a while before questioning suddenly,)
“Old Master Jung is going to celebrate his 70th birthday a few days later. Did you all invite the Lee family?”
Jhope
Shook his head.
“No.”
Kim Taehyung
“Then, I’ll invite them with you tomorrow.”
Jhope turned the wheel violently and gazed at Taehyung unbelievably.
Jhope
It’s just the Lee family. Wait a minute, don’t tell me that you fancy the young boy?”
Taehyung face was partly in the dark when the lights shone on him, and there was a beam of light flashing across the depths of his deep eyes.
Kim Taehyung
Chuckled softly.
Kim Taehyung
“Didn’t you say that he has no one to take care of him?”
