Chapter 7: Crush?
".......--kook? Jungkook?? .................. JEON JUNGKOOK!!?" Jaebum lost his patience at the boy in front of him.
"Huh? Yeah? What??" Jungkook snapped out of his thoughts.
"Spacing out again Jeon?" Jisoo laughs as she passes by an angry looking Jaebum and dumbfounded Jungkook.
"Told ya he's not listening." Taehyung pats Jaebum's back before leaving the scene.
"................... What do you mean again? I'm perfectly focus" Jungkook tried to defend himself.
"Uh-huh yeah, that's why that fucking piece of paper is still clean since 3 hours ago." Jaebum raise his eyebrows at Jungkook who seems to try making himself looks busy.
"Save it oppa, he's not being himself today. Been spacing out twice already today." Jisoo leans on Jungkook's table, secretly demanding some explanations towards his behavior today.
"*sigh* it was nothing" Jungkook tried to continue sketching again but he couldn't. He just can't stop thinking about that small, adorable man who works at the ice-cream shop. And on top of that, he's also a nurse! a freaking nurse who's kindly helping out those poor elders around. If you asked jungkook, he would say that Jimin is an angel, literally an angel. Jungkook's a bisexual, of course it wouldn't be weird for him if he take an interest with that man. It's just after Sayu's mother walks away, he never really get into any relationship. He lives for Sayu and his jobs only. Never have he thought about dating or getting interest in anyone until he met that 'angel'.
"Kook, do you have any problem? Is it about Sayu?" Jisoo asks, a little bit concern because she never sees Jungkook like this before.
".................. noona. I think I might..... Have an interest in someone?" he answered hesitantly.
"Woww kook ah! Finally! Getting in some action aren't we?" Taehyung excitedly pats Jungkook on the back.
"So, who's the lucky one? Is she pretty?" Jaebum starts to get interested too.
Jungkook hesitates a bit at first. He needs to let this out but he didn't sure whether his friends are comfortable enough for him to like a boy or not. Hey, he doesn't blame them, this is Korea after all. So, Jungkook decided to take a safe route.
".... She uh... she's very adorable and small. And has the best smile in the world! A pure angel if you ask me" he exclaimed happily thinking about Jimin's beautiful features and his angelic smile.
"Wow... seems like someone is deeply in love. So does this angel of yours have any name?" Jisoo place her elbows on Jungkook's desk and cups her chins in between her hands.
"Yes. Jimin." Jungkook shyly answers while looking down at his feet. He's thankful because Jimin owns a name that goes to both gender.
"Does Sayu knows about her?"
"Yes hyung. Sayu's the one who introduces us when we went to the ice-cream shop yesterday." Jungkook looks at Jaebum, knows that he worried that Jungkook took it too far without Sayu knows about it. But hey, Jungkook himself didn't even know where this is going. Maybe it's just going to be a slight crush after all.
"What are you waiting for man? Go ask her out!" Taehyung exclaimed while showing his boxy smiles towards Jungkook.
"................ Nah... I don't think I'm ready for this. Besides it's just a stupid crush" Jungkook tried to focus at his works again.
"Jungkook, we never see you like this before. And we've known you for years now Jeon. You need to get a life. And after all, Sayu might still need a mother for her to grow up. Being a father alone is not enough you know?" Jisoo walks away from those guys knowing that she had said enough for Jungkook to realize that he need to start dating and move on from the past.
-
Jungkook was sitting at his dinner table with Sayu. He keeps on spacing out, thinking about what Jisoo had said before. Sayu needs a mother, not another father for her to grow up. Maybe he should forget about Jimin and starts to date another woman. He sighs quit loud making Sayu looks away from her dinner plate, straight onto is father's face.
She frowns looking at his father's plate, remained untouched.
"Daddy.... Why aren't you eating? Is the food taste bad?"
"Huh? No... it's fine. The food is fine." Jungkook starts to eat again, trying to forget about Jimin and everything that's running around his head. He convince himself that whatever feelings that he has for Jimin is just temporary.
"How was your day sweetie?" Jungkook tried to focus on his daughter now.
"It was good daddy! Today is my turn to recommend a story and I told them about the book that Jimin oppa gave me before, 'The Little Prince'. All my classmates and teacher was very interested in that story and you know what? Mrs. Kim even asks me to continue that story next week!" she exclaims happily with her big smile plastered on her face.
"Oh yeah? So my baby has become a little bit 'miss popular' aren't she?" he pinches her cheeks lightly, earning giggles from her.
"Not so much. They still didn't play with me, but they did talk to me today, asking about the story."
Jungkook smiles as she continues to tell about her wonderful day as she didn't experience a lot of it throughout the year. Seeing Sayu smiles like this makes Jungkook feels relief a lot.
"Daddy, can we visit the Elderly's oak tomorrow? I want to thank Jimin oppa for recommending this book for me! Please daddy please~~"
Jungkook bits his lips. He couldn't refuse her daughter's request but seeing Jimin might not be a good idea when his heart is still unstably interested in him. but maybe, just maybe he could prove to himself that he is just taking a small interest in Jimin and it's probably already gone by now. So he just agreed to Sayu's request.
***************************************
"Daddy come on! Quick, quick! Let's go see Jimin oppa now!" she said happily while dragging Jungkook with her small hands as soon as they leave the school's gate.
"He-hey, slow down princess. The Elderly's Oak aren't going anywhere"
Once they set their foot inside the building, Sayu immediately went to the counter and asks for a nurse named Park Jimin. After a while of jumping and running, she finally saw the bright yellow hair among the other nurses. Jimin is busy distributing foods to the elders. He didn't even notice that Sayu was running towards him until he feels a little arm wraps around his leg. He looks down and saw little Sayu smiles brightly at him.
"Hey, Sayu, so glad to see you! Finally decided to come visit?" he picks Sayu up in his arms.
"Heehee... I'm here for you Jimin oppa! I wanted to thank you for that book!" Sayu hugs Jimin tightly, already forgot that his daddy is standing behind Jimin awkwardly. Honestly, Jungkook feels like his eyes are blessed because jimin in nurse outfit really snatched his poor heart away. And he's surely has never seen Sayu that close with someone aside from him. Not even with Taehyung that practically knows her since she's a baby. He's slightly amazed on how Jimin manages to capture his daughter's heart that easy.
Sayu was still rambling to Jimin about how her days are going amazing after she told that story in class and how she finally manage to get a few kids from other classroom to talk to her, asking about the story. Little that she knows, Jimin's heart slightly broken knowing that Sayu was so lonely before this. He hugs Sayu dearly hoping that it would help his heart ease a bit.
"Wow! I never know that they would love that book. I'm so glad that you like it. I have lots of other books. If you want, you can come here and we can read it together." Jimin smiles at her, hiding his tears away.
"really?? I will surely come!" Sayu's face lighted up when she heard jimin's words.
Jimin finally notice that there's a figure of human standing behind him all along. So he turns back only to find Jungkook standing there awkwardly looking at him. Jimin smiles at him but his smiles faltered seeing that Jungkook looks away from him.
Jungkook couldn't move. He couldn't speak. He was too mesmerized looking at Jimin. All of him. He tried to convince himself that Jimin is nothing to him but seeing Jimin and Sayu together makes his heart falls. He couldn't deny it anymore. He has fallen in love with Jimin and with the way Jimin and her daughter clicks, he feels like a fool trying to get away with this little crush in his heart.
