Eclipsed Hearts ( TAEKOOK )
EPISODE - 8 ෆ╹ .̮ ╹ෆ
Jungkook sat on the couch, his legs crossed, staring at the slightly damp check in his hands. He scratched his head, sighing deeply.
JEON JUNGKOOK
What am I supposed to do now ?
Jungkook Muttered to himself, flipping the check over in his fingers. The edges were curled from the moisture, and the ink looked slightly smudged.
He had been so careful about keeping it safe, but last night, in the rush of saving the puppy, he hadn’t noticed that it had gotten a little wet. Now, he wasn’t sure if the bank would even accept it.
JEON JUNGKOOK
*Lost in thought*
Yoongi walked out of the kitchen after helping Jimin with the morning chores. He wiped his hands on a towel
JEON YOONGI
* Glancing toward Jungkook*
JEON YOONGI
What’s with that face so early in the morning? *raising an eyebrow*
YEONTAN
*Runs forward to the kitchen*
JEON JUNGKOOK
*Sighed again and held out the check in front of Yoongi without a word*
JEON YOONGI
This is the prize check from your painting competition, right?
JEON JUNGKOOK
Dad not competition 😩
JEON JUNGKOOK
It's exhibition 😒
JEON YOONGI
🙄🙄 😒 okay okay
JEON JUNGKOOK
Yeah. I must've gotten it wet when I took my umbrella out last night. I don’t know if the bank will accept it now
JEON JUNGKOOK
*Leaning back against the couch*
JEON JUNGKOOK
What do I do, Dad?
JEON YOONGI
*Chuckled* Yah, is that why you're sitting here like you lost everything? It’s just a little damp, not destroyed
JEON YOONGI
No ‘buts.’ I have an idea *smirking* 😏
JEON JUNGKOOK
*Sat up straighter* What is it?
JEON YOONGI
Do you know the trick with an iron box?
JEON JUNGKOOK
*Blinked* Huh? Iron box?
JEON YOONGI
If you place the check between two sheets of paper and gently press it with a warm iron, it’ll dry and flatten out. Just be careful with the heat
JEON JUNGKOOK
*Eyes widened* That actually works?
JEON YOONGI
Of course. Your old man knows a few things, you know
JEON JUNGKOOK
Okay, let’s try it
The two of them went to the ironing board. Yoongi placed the check carefully between two clean sheets of paper and turned on the iron, setting it to a low temperature.
JEON YOONGI
You have to be gentle. Too much heat could ruin it
JEON YOONGI
*Instructed as he lightly pressed the iron over the paper*
JEON JUNGKOOK
*Watched intently, biting his lip*
After a minute , Yoongi lifted the paper and took out the check. It was dry and almost as good as new.
JEON JUNGKOOK
Whoa… It actually worked 😮
JEON JUNGKOOK
*Took the check and examined it closely* Now I can take it to the bank without worrying. Dad, you're a genius
JEON YOONGI
Of course, I am. Now go, before the bank closes
Jungkook quickly grabbed his things, ready to head out. As he reached the door, he turned back and grinned.
JEON YOONGI
*Waved his hand* Just don’t get your next check wet, genius
Jungkook headed out the door, feeling relieved and grateful for his father’s quick thinking.
