Chapter 4: Of
Even though the clock is still showing 5.57 am in the morning, Jungkook eyes are wide awake. He knows perfectly well that at this point, he couldn't fall back to sleep even if he wants to. He'd let himself to drift off too early last night. Well, he's been spending the whole evening with Namjoon and Yoongi. His body is too tired when he get back last night. He slept without even had the chance to change his clothes.
Jungkook get off the bed and walks to the balcony. He stares at the dark skies. There's a hint of moonlight, seeping through the buildings. Jungkook couldn't help but realize that no matter how high the humans are, the moon will always be higher than them. No matter how close they think they're to moon, they're still far from the said moon. Not even halfway close to it.
Once the sun rises, Jungkook gets ready to go the national museum. After all, he made a promise with Junghyun. Once he's ready, he takes out his cube and ride the sky-trade down. He takes out his air-bike and rides to the national museum. National museum are big. But unfortunately, very few people came here every day. In fact, there are days that nobody visits this place. It's old and people aren't interested in ancient stuffs anymore. Same as Jungkook.
Jungkook enters the museum, walks to the third floor, hoping to get the books as fast as he can and gets out of there immediately. But once he steps inside the library inside the museum, his eyes widen in amazement. There's a lot of book, a lot more that he could possibly imagine. He swears he never sees or even thought that he would come across books this much.
Jungkook shakes his head, wastes no time and starts searching for the books. Lucky for him that the library has separated the books according to its sections. It makes him easier to find the book. Once he found the books that Junghyun needed, he takes the book and walks to the counter. While walking, he checks the books in his hand. He couldn't believe that there's people who actually read these stuff nowadays.
As he keeps on walking, he didn't realize that he bumped onto someone. He heard a yelp in front of him and immediately reaches his hands out to catch the person that he bumped into. Unfortunately he didn't manage to save the man in front of him, instead, he falls down, face first. He swears his nose hurts so bad right now.
"Oh my god, are you okay sir?"
Jungkook nods his head, tried to sit properly, he looks up at the man whose voice is as sweet as an angel itself. Once he laid his eyes on the man, his heart stops beating for a second. The man in front of him has a bright orange hair, almost makes him wonders how can a person dyed his hair in that color and manages to look so damn ethereal. But that wasn't the thing that bothered Jungkook right now. The first time he laid his eyes on the man, his heart has stop beating for a second and as he keep on staring, his heart clenched. He felt all sorts of feelings towards the man and he couldn't explained what that was.
"Oh my god! Does it really hurt!?" the man in front of him starts panicking. He raised his thumb and touches Jungkook's cheeks with it as gently as he could. That's when Jungkook realize, tears is flowing down from his eyes.
Jungkook swears the touches burns his skins alive. He never felt this sort of sparks inside him before. Jungkook grabs the man's small hands and pulls him into a hug. He cried his heart out in the man's embrace. Of course the other male was shock at Jungkook's sudden reaction. But after a few seconds in dazed he brings his hands to Jungkook's back and caress it slowly.
Jungkook didn't know what happened. He couldn't explain what the feeling that he felt right now is. There's something about this man that makes his heart ache, joy and sorrow at the same time. But once he had the man in his embrace, he feels relieved. Like a huge burden has been lifted from his heart. He didn't understand why. He understand nothing of the situation he felt right now.
After a few moments, Jungkook finally broke the hug. His cheeks are still wet with tears and yet he felt so embarrassed with himself right now. First, he hugs a random person whom he never met before, second he cried his heart out in front of the man he never met before and third, he probably looks so damn ugly right now.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to... I just don't know what happened... I—I'm sorry" Jungkook lowered his head in embarrassment.
"That's okay... but does it hurts so bad? I'm terrified when I see you crying just now. Oh my god! Did I broke your nose? Do you need to go to hospital right now? I'm sorry it was my fault! I'm so clumsy I---"
"No—no! It wasn't your fault. It was mine. I wasn't looking when I'm walking. It doesn't hurt at all. I'm fine. I'm sorry too." Jungkook slowly raised his head, trying to take a glance at the man again.
Once he does that, his breath hitched. The man in front of him is looking so breathtakingly ethereal. Jungkook convince right away that he's already dead right now and the man in front of him is the actual angel that's taking him to heaven. His voice itself already prove that he's an angel.
"I'm the one who should say sorry. I wasn't looking when I'm walking too. And I made you fell down. It must hurt badly." The man pouts, he's playing with his fingers in nervous. He crouches down and collects all the books while Jungkook couldn't even move his own finger by now. Jungkook couldn't deny it anymore. Even if he's still alive right now, he wouldn't be for the next two second. The man in front of him right now wasn't just breathtakingly ethereal, but also adorable as fuck. It doesn't makes sense at all how can a person looks beautiful and adorable at the same time.
"Here, I'm sorry I made you dropped these. You must be a historian" the man giggles. Jungkook is freaking out right now, his heart feels like exploding any seconds now.
"A—ahh... no, I'm—I'm not a his—its my brother. He's uh, an anthropologist" Jungkook takes the books from the smaller man. He rubs his neck, nervous.
"Wow that is amazing! He must be an interesting person. I'm Jimin by the way. Park Jimin." Jimin smiles and hands out his hand for Jungkook.
Jungkook swears he felt a little ping of jealousy when he heard that. "Jungkook, Jeon Jungkook. I'm an interesting person too" Jungkook reaches out for Jimin's hand and almost cry for how soft and small it feels in his own hand.
Jimin's eyes widen before bursting into laughter. Jungkook is dumbfounded for a second, wondering why Jimin suddenly burst into laughter. Then, it hits him hard, he just said the last part out loud. Jungkook's cheeks are redden from embarrassment by now. He fake cough, trying to control his embarrassment.
"Uhh, I guess you're a historian?" Jungkook asks, seeing a few books in Jimin's hand.
"Oh my god, I agreed with that. You are really an interesting person. But no—I'm not a historian" Jimin wipes his tears away with his pretty fingers.
"Actually, I use my friend's chip to borrow these babies. It's a secret—" Jimin leans in and whispers these words in Jungkook's ears. Jungkook's knees are about to give up. He probably didn't notice earlier, but Jimin smells so sweet that makes him shivers when Jimin is that close to him.
"God, you smells so sweet" Jungkook furrows his eyebrows, looking at Jimin's eyes when he steps a distance away from Jungkook.
Jungkook feels like slamming his head on the wall right when he sees Jimin burst into laughter again. He knew that he just said those words out loud, again. That was supposed to be in his head and for him to hear only. He couldn't express how embarrass he is right now. oh how he wishes that the ground could swallow him whole right now.
"Jungkook ssi, you're—you're amazing. Thank you for your compliments. I guess I should go now. I hope I see you later someday" Jungkook just watches Jimin waves his hand at him and walks away. He's too star-struck to move right now. Probably everyone else there would think of him as an idiot with the way he's smiling right now.
Jungkook's 100% convinced that he has fallen in love with a man named Park Jimin.
---------------------------------------------------------
"Hyung! I LOVE YOU!" Jungkook immediately jumps at his brother the moment that Junghyun steps inside their apartment.
"................... I think I better go back to Japan" Junghyun pushed Jungkook away and walks towards the door, pulling his luggage with him.
"But I love you~ you're the best brother that I've ever have!" Jungkook clings onto Junghyun's hand, never letting go.
"Okay, who are you and what have you done to my brother?" Junghyun raised his eyebrow at Jungkook, suspiciously. Junghyun gets more confused when he sees Jungkook laughing at him while taking his luggage inside. Something that he never do before. Usually Junghyun would asks Jungkook to help him with his huge ass luggage but Jungkook would give a thousand excuses to not to.
"Hyung, I got your book." Jungkook wiggles his eyebrows while holding three books in his hands.
"oh my god. I'm so sorry Jungkook. I wouldn't ask for your help again" Junghyun shows Jungkook a sympathy face, thinking that his brother went crazy because he steps into the national museum.
"No, hyung! I FELL IN LOVE!!!" Jungkook shouts, smiling happily.
Junghyun said nothing. He stands and stare at Jungkook for a good 5 seconds before giving him a thumb up. His face remains expressionless. He grabs his luggage and walks away from Jungkook, ignoring all the whining he heard from Jungkook's mouth.
