MR.JEON ππ Part 31 Min-Jae's Secret Interview
They reached the supermarket parking lot.
Min-Jae jumped out first.
Min-Jae: I'm telling everyone I came in this car.
Y/N grabbed his collar.
Y/N: If you tell anyone, you're walking home.
He zipped his lips dramatically.
Min-Jae: Secret mode activated.
As they walked toward the entranceβ
Min-Jae walked between them, whispering loudly.
Min-Jae: So... colleague hyung... do you have a younger brother? Or are you looking to adopt one?
Jungkook chuckled.
Jungkook: I'll consider it.
Y/N looked at both of them suspiciously.
Y/N: Why do I feel like I'm losing control here?
Min-Jae and Jungkook exchanged a secret smile.
Chaos had officially begun.
Y/N pushed the cart seriously.
Y/N: We're here for rice, vegetables, detergent. That's it.
Min-Jae and Jungkook exchanged a look.
Trouble look.
Min-Jae: Hyung... snacks aisle first?
Jungkook: Obviously.
Y/N turned slowly.
Y/N: If either of you disappear, I'm leaving you here.
Two minutes laterβ
They disappeared.
Min-Jae grabbed two chip packets.
Min-Jae: Hyung, spicy or extra spicy?
Jungkook studied both like it was a business decision.
Jungkook: Extra spicy.
Min-Jae nodded in approval.
Min-Jae: Good choice.
Y/N snatched them both.
Y/N: We have snacks at home.
Min-Jae: Those are depression snacks. These are tasty snacks.
Jungkook tried not to laugh.
Y/N glared.
Y/N: Stop encouraging him.
Jungkook: I didn't say anything.
His face clearly said he was enjoying this.
Y/N thought to herself.
Why did I bring him?
Min-Jae stretched to grab soda from the top shelf.
Jungkook automatically steadied him so he wouldn't fall.
Y/N noticed that protective reflex.
She pretended not to.
Min-Jae: Hyung, you work out?
Jungkook: Sometimes.
Min-Jae: You look strong.
Y/N sighed.
Y/N: Why are you interviewing him?
Min-Jae shrugged casually.
Min-Jae: Just talking.
But his eyes were quietly observing everything.
Min-Jae pointed dramatically.
Min-Jae: Hyung won the race earlier. He should choose.
Jungkook picked a premium brand.
Y/N checked the price and frowned.
Y/N: That's expensive.
Jungkook: It's fine.
Min-Jae leaned closer to him.
Min-Jae: You're really generous, hyung.
Jungkook glanced briefly at Y/N.
Jungkook: Only when it matters.
Y/N pretended to examine the labels very seriously.
Her ears had turned slightly red.
Y/N walked ahead to grab detergent.
Min-Jae slowed down beside Jungkook.
His voice dropped.
Min-Jae (lower voice): Hyung.
Jungkook looked down at him.
Jungkook: Yeah?
Min-Jae hesitated.
Min-Jae: Can I ask something?
Jungkook: Ask.
Min-Jae glanced at Y/N in the distance.
She was comparing detergent brands very seriously.
Then he looked back at Jungkook.
Min-Jae: Do you... like my sister?
Not joking.
Not teasing.
Serious.
Jungkook didn't answer immediately.
His eyes moved toward Y/N again.
Then back to Min-Jae.
Jungkook: Yes.
Simple. Honest.
Min-Jae studied his face carefully.
Min-Jae: Like... properly?
Jungkook nodded once.
Jungkook: Properly.
Min-Jae crossed his arms, thinking.
Min-Jae: She gets stressed easily. And she acts strong but she overthinks everything.
Jungkook: I know.
Min-Jae: She cries secretly sometimes.
Jungkook's expression softened.
Jungkook: I know that too.
Min-Jae looked surprised.
Min-Jae: You noticed?
Jungkook: Of course.
A small silence followed.
Min-Jae nodded slowly.
Min-Jae: Okay.
Jungkook raised an eyebrow.
Jungkook: Okay?
Min-Jae shrugged.
Min-Jae: I'll observe you more, hyung.
Jungkook almost smiled.
Jungkook: Fair.
Y/N suddenly turned around suspiciously.
Y/N: Why are you both quiet?
Min-Jae instantly switched expressions.
Min-Jae: We're discussing detergent quality.
Jungkook nodded seriously.
Jungkook: Very important topic.
Y/N narrowed her eyes.
She didn't believe a single word.
The cart was much fuller than expected.
Y/N was mentally calculating the total.
Min-Jae hummed happily.
Jungkook looked completely relaxed.
Y/N: This was supposed to be simple.
Min-Jae: It was fun.
Jungkook: I agree.
Y/N sighed.
Y/N: Not for me.
They walked out carrying the bags.
Min-Jae suddenly stopped.
Min-Jae: Selfie.
Before anyone could reactβ
Click.
He snapped a picture.
Y/N looked exhausted.
Jungkook looked amused.
Min-Jae looked victorious.
And somehow...
It looked exactly like a family photo.
