CHAPTER 33 : Flaky Trust
JK : Hyung! (-smiles-) What are you doing here?
??? : Onh? I was waiting for someone. (-looks at the guest Jungkook brought-)
JK : Oh, yes! She is Keiv Ya. I told you about her. Right?
??? : (-recalling-) Oh yeah. (-smiles and speaks in Korean-) Deudio(finally)-
JK : (-cuts him off in korean-) Ah, V Hyung, she doesn't understand Korean.
TH : Oh yes! (-in english-) Nice to meet you. Finally! (-box smiles awkwardly-)
KEIV YA : (-blushes but tries to hide it with her smile-) Nice to meet you too.
TH : (-in korean-) Heard alot about you. Thank you for keeping him company in the hospital in our absense.
Jungkook then translated his words as exactly as he could for her to understand.
KEIV YA : Ah, please don't mention it.
Jungkook transferred her words to him and started speaking in Korean to him.
JK : By the way, whom are you waiting for?
TH : Onh? (-thinks of an amswer-) Well, a friend.
Jungkook seemed to ponder about the uncertainty in the tone of the elder's voice.
TH : Why? You can bring your girl here, I can't?
JK : No, I didn't say that. So, is that someone, a girl?
TH : -friend.
JK : (-chuckles-) You mean, Girlfriend?
TH : (-raises hand to hit Jungkook-) Jjashik!(a korean slang)
Although Jungkook tried to dodge his hit, Taehyung didn't actually intend to hit him anyways. He linked his arm around his neck giving him a gentle neck lock.
TH : Well, soon to be.
JK : (-releasing himself with a grin-) Good luck, then. We are going in. Don't stay in the sun for too long, hyung.
TH : Onh, (-nods-) take care of your friend.
JK : Neh.
With that, they both left Taehyung waiting at the gate while Keiv ya asked out her curiosity after a lot of debate with herself not to interfere but couldn't help it anyways.
KEIV YA : What did you two talk about?
JK : (-chuckles as he recalls it-) Nothing.
KEIV YA : C'mon, I heard you say "Yojachingu" and with the little korean I know, I believe you meant "girlfriend". Am I right? Please, tell me.
JK : (-grins-) Yes, you are correct.
KEIV YA : So, that means. He has a girlfriend? (-shocked-)
JK : Not really. Why? Are you jealous? Was he your bias whom you secretly wanted to marry? (-laughs-)
Keiv ya frowned at his tease and hit Jungkook's arm quite with strength. But, instead hurt her own hand as she hit him too carelessly.
KEIV YA : AH! What are you? Made of rock! (-caressing her palm-)
Jungkook burst out in laughter and held her hand with his to caress it. He couldn't stop laughing at her.
JK : Who told you to hit me then? Serves you right. (-still laughing-)
Meanwhile, at the gate, Taehyung's wait met an end with the girl's arrival.
He offered to go himself to meet her, but she, for some reason, didn't want to tell him the address she was staying at.
They couldn't have met at any other public places so the farm house was apparently the only alternative left.
TH : (-smiles-) Hi, Ray.
RAE : (-smiles back-) Hi.
TH : (-looking around her-) Where's your friend?
RAE : She had some work. Why? Are you disappointed?
TH : Oh, no. Not really. I just thought you were coming with your friend. (-nervously scratches the back of his neck-)
RAE : (-laughs-) Take it easy. I was just kidding.
TH : You look good. (-smiling-)
RAE : (-slightly blushing-) You too. (-changing the topic-) By the way, I was here to pay you back.
TH : Yeah, can I ask for something else instead of money? Oh, sorry that came out wrong. I mean, Can I say what I need as a payback? (-hits his mouth-) What is wrong with me? I am sorry. You get what I mean, don't you?
RAE : (-grins and nods-) Yes, go ahead.
TH : Can I get a few hours of your time instead of money? (-curses under his breath-) Let me just not say it. (-unhappy-) I am sorry.
RAE : (-giggles-) It's okay. Words can play sometimes. Tell me with ease.
TH : (-smiles-) Alright. I don't really need the paper thing from you. It was only a small amount anyways. We are here for a vacation and I would love it if you could join us.
Rae seemed to give a lot of thoughts to this offer. Although, lowkey she also wanted to spend as much time as she could with him but couldn't seem to decide if it was okay.
TH : Come on! You won't be awkward. There are people of your kind too.
RAE : Sorry?
TH : I mean, Girls. There are girls inside too.
RAE : (-grins with a nod-) You're funny. (-answering to his question-) Okay.
TH : (-big smile-) Thanks! Let's go in!
Although, Taehyung was trying his best not to be too obvious but the innocent him couldn't help it.
Rae, on the other hand, was either too oblivious or too busy organizing her own messed up feelings to realize or to see Taehyung's obviousness that surfaced in his face and body language.
Inside the house, the girls got along with each other alot easier than the boys thought they would.
Few hours later, as everyone were talking and giggling, Jungkook noticed Yoongi being absent there.
While all were busy recalling the good times they had together, Jungkook slipped out of the gather and checked Yoongi's room if he was there.
Not finding him in his room, he started searching for him outside thinking he might have gone out for a stroll.
After a few minutes of search, he finally arrived at a sequestered place beyond the bushes and long grasses in the backyard where he saw a small pond. They didn't see this before as the hedge covered most of it and gave a dead end look to one standing farther away.
However, Yoongi discovered that place without much struggle. He was spending his lone time shooting pebbles in the pond making it bounce two-three times in the water- the typical art of Stone skipping.
Jungkook mustered up the courage and went to the elder, pushing himself through the dense foliage.
Yoongi felt the presence of someone but didn't bother to look back at the person.
Taking a deep breath, Jungkook walked to him and sat beside him on the rock where Yoongi was seated.
YG : Shouldn't you be with others?
JK : Shouldn't you too?
Yoongi seemed to miss Su Ah more than ever, whenever there was a BTS gathering with a few girls. The setting always reminded him of the night when he saw Su Ah for the last time and when everything was perfect.
So, he always left those get-togethers and spent his time alone somewhere remote.
YG : (-shooting another pebble-) It was too chaotic there. But, why are you here?
Jungkook didn't answer and remained silent for the next few moments.
JK : (-finally deciding to speak-) Hyung.
YG : (-shooting the next pebble-) Hmm?
JK : (-almost in tears but with all his heart-) I am sorry...
The sincerity directly hit Yoongi's heart which made him stop from shooting the next pebble he was about to.
YG : (-clutching the stone-) For what?
JK : (-looking at him with teary eyes-) I know, I have hurt you bad. Maybe, I cannot be forgiven too. But please trust me, it was one sided. Noona loved only you. She never cheated on you.
Yoongi quietly listened to all he had to say and noticed the genuineness in his tears as spoke further.
JK : (-sniffs-) That night, I was swayed away by the liquor or I would've never dared to do something like that. Why would I try or even wish to break you off when I was actually happy for you both?
Yoongi almost gave in but looked away to stop his emotions from surfacing.
JK : (-hugging him from side-) I am sorry, hyung~ (-broke in tears-) I am really sorry. (-unclear words-) I-I kn-ow, it's selfish but please hyung, don't push me away. I love hyungs and you so much that I can't imagine my tomorrow with any one of your absence. (-sobbing hard-) I am so sorry, Hyung.
Yoongi no longer could contain his tears to pour out from his eyes. Jungkook's heartfelt words made his walls break as he slowly wrapped his arms around the younger's body breaking into a silent sob himself.
YG : (-squeezing eyes as he cried-) It's okay, Jungkook-ah. Hyung is not upset with you anymore. (-securing his hug-) It's alright.
Jungkook's cries grew louder as he felt his heart clench tighter hearing those words from his hyung. The words he so badly wanted to hear were finally told.
YG : (-through tears-) But, how could you do such a horrible thing to yourself?
JK : (-constantly crying-) I am sorry hyung, I am really sorry. (-tightening his hug-)
Both of them cried their hearts out in each other's arms, shedding the tears that needed to be released out.
Meanwhile back in the farm house, chaos for the preparation of lunch began. Well, basically they had to make the list to order from outside.
Taehyung was asked to call Yoongi and Jungkook. He had noticed them both going out before, so he went in the backyard to look for them.
While the discussion went on, Jin saw himself out, saying he has some work and would have his lunch out.
As Taehyung was returning from giving YoonKook a heads up about the lunch, he saw Jin coming out of the house.
Jin didn't see him and was on his way. Taehyung called out his name, making the former stop and look back.
TH : Where are you going?
J : Onh! I am going to an ART exhibition nearby.
After the Venezuela incident in his life, Jin seemed to take interest in arts and paintings alot. He started visiting galleries, exhibitions and auctions time to time.
TH : Art exhibition? Since when did you take interest in Art? (-connecting his theories-) By any chance, to meet the love of your life?
J : (-fake laughs-) Okay, listen. You gotta stop doing this. I am getting late, I will deal with you later!
Before he was asked any more questions, he slipped out down the narrow lane, leaving back a smiling Taehyung.
The latter then turned around and was going inside when he heard Rae's voice, coming from somewhere near.
He followed it and found her talking over phone while hiding herself by the wall. Therefore, Taehyung, not gaining her attention, stood along the wall as well but on the other side.
RAE : (-over the call-) It's me, Ariel. I got some information about Jin. He is going to an Art exhibition to meet someone. I am positive it's a girl from what I heard.
Taehyung couldn't believe his ears and felt to be stabbed right in his heart. The girl, whom he adored, was hiding her true identity from him and apparently spying on them as well.
He couldn't afford to keep eavesdropping on her and walked away to the house door. Taehyung patiently waited for her to come out.
Within a minute, she came in the frontyard and was rushing out without noticing Taehyung at the door.
He, seeing her, gulped his hurt feelings in and stopped her boldly.
TH : Rae!
___________
What is Rae's actual identity?
Was she really spying on them? Is she a secret member from the paparazzi?
