Chapter 51
Jennie PoV
Jisoo-eonnie and I have been following Chaeyoung around lately. And yes, Jiyoon is still staying with me in my penthouse.
There she is in that cafe, again. It's already 8:30 in the evening, I hope Taehyung is taking care of Jiyoon for a while. The 3 of us have been watching over Chaeyoung from a far because of our anger kicking in.
And we're trying to help our friends who are still looking for Jungkook. It's gonna be 2 weeks since he's gone, and they still haven't found him. Wherever that coward is, I need him out in this stupid battle field.
Lisa was with us a few hours ago, she left for some 'personal' issue. I think she's got her monthly visit, to be honest so I let it pass. That girl has been into weird stuff lately. One moment, the 3 of us are trying to look after Chaeyoung and the next, she has to run to another place.
"Urgh, what the hell is she doing?!" Jisoo complains. "This is the 3rd consecutive night that she's been waiting for that bitch and he still does not show up. Look how frustrated she is!"
She throws her hands up and walks back and forth, "That. That exactly is how Junhoe acted before they broke up. How the hell does she not realize that she deserves someone better!"
I folded my arms, "Like Jungkook?"
"Yeah! Like Jungkook--Hey, Jennie!" she furrowed her brows and rolled her eyes. "Alright, yes, like Jungkook."
I laughed at my eonnie.
She continued to complain about Chaeyoung still liking that man. Kept asking how can I, Jennie Kim, just watch over her from a far when I can just straight-up slap Junhoe.
Yeah, why didn't I do that?
I have every right to do it, Lisa has every right to do it, Jisoo has every right to do it. But why didn't I?
Was it because of Jungkook? How he said if Chaeyoung's happy, he's happy? Of course, when Chaeyoung's happy, I'm happy. But Chaeyoung happy with Koo Junhoe?
What if I just straight-up get mad at Junhoe when he finally appears in the cafe? Or how long will I keep my act of distancing from Chaeyoung and pretend to be happy for her?
"Eonnies!" we heard Lisa calling us.
Our heads turned to her, who was running and panting.
"Eo, Lalisa? What happened?" Jisoo asked.
Lisa stood up properly and took a deep breath, "I found proof."
I lifted one brow, "What do you mean proof?"
She took out her phone from her pocket and opened to a picture then showed it to us. The photo she showed has lights that of bars, and the focus of the picture is a man on the counter kissing a lady.
"Is that?" Jisoo used her fingers to zoom in the pictures. "Koo Junhoe?"
Lisa nodded, "And that's the bar's famous whore."
"How did you know he was there?" I asked.
"It's Sorn's step-brother's bar, pretty close to him . He's a neurologist, not a neurosurgeon, went to the same university as us and knew Chaeyoung's relationship with Junhoe," she explains.
We heard the cafe's door open.
The 3 of us were hiding in some small alley right across the cafe. And the cafe has this twinkling sound once you open it. Someone in a black suit was running inside the cafe, sitting in front of Chaeyoung.
"Speaking of the devil," I said.
"And the idiot," Jisoo blurted.
Lisa and I turned to her with a confused face.
"The idiot? You know, Chaeyoung?" she elaborated.
"Oh, I thought you still meant Junhoe," Lisa laughed.
Our heads turned to the big glass that allowed us to see what's happening inside the cafe. Junhoe stood up and gave Chaeyoung a small peck on the lips then quickly ran out of the cafe.
"Do we run after him?" Lisa asked.
I shook my head, "Ani. The one who needs a lesson is there."
I pointed inside the cafe.
It was clear that Junhoe's hair was all messed as if someone were grabbing it. His polo's first button is unbuttoned and it's all wrinkled. How on earth does Chaeyoung not see that as a sign?
A sign that he hasn't changed at all?
My feet made it's way across the street, my hands turning into fists, and anger replacing my calm aura. I heard Jisoo and Lisa shouting my name not to enter the cafe but I didn't care.
She needs a lesson.
She needs to understand.
She needs to learn.
She needs to move on.
Lisa and Jisoo ended up following me inside the cafe. I walked to her table and put my hand bag in front of her. Chaeyoung looks at the bag and slowly looks up at me, and then she got startled.
"Eonnie, you scared me," she said. "Eonnie, I have good news!"
I stopped her from talking with my palm facing her, "What the hell, Chaeyoung? What the hell are you doing?"
Her excited face turned to a question looking one, "What do you mean, eonnie?"
"Jen, come on, let's go," Jisoo said and tried to grab my arm.
I pulled my arm away from her, "No. I'm not going. Not until she learns her lesson."
"Eonnie, what are you talking about?" Chaeyoung asks me.
"Jennie-eonnie, calm down," Lisa says.
"No, I will not calm down!" I shouted and pointed my finger towards Chaeyoung. "You think that you getting back with that idiot is good news?! How the hell is that good news?! 5 years, Chaeyoung! It took you 5 years to recover from that man, and now you just blow it away like those 5 years didn't mean anything to you?!"
Lisa sighed, "Jennie-eonnie--"
"Shut it, Lisa," I tell her and look back at Chaeyoung. "5 years of you being a single mother didn't mean anything to you?! And after 5 goddamn years, you meet someone who is completely heads-over-heels for you and just leaves him because your ex comes back? The man who ruined your life comes back?! Bullshit, Chaeyoung!"
I hate to see her cry but I cannot handle it anymore.
"If you're telling me this because that man is your boss--"
I slammed my hand on the table, "Chaeyoung do you even hear yourself right now?! Because he is my boss?! I don't give a damn of Jungkook being my boss! You're not my only friend, Chaeyoung. Jungkook is my friend too! Where the hell is the overly-matured Chaeyoung, huh?! Why is the Chaeyoung, I'm talking to right now, is such an idiot! A child! A stupid moron!"
"Jen, let it pass, let's go," Jisoo tugs on my arm.
"You think you're a good mother with the way you're acting right now?" I asked. "No, you aren't. You're only thinking of yourself, about the past. And not what's in the future. Let's cut this off, Roseanne."
Lisa walks slowly to the door, ahead of us. Then Chaeyoung got up from her seat.
"You think you know the first thing of being a mother?!" she shouted.
I turned back to her, "Did you just answer back?!"
"You think you're the right person here, huh?!" she asked. "You're not her mother, I am!"
"Well, then if you're her mother then why aren't you acting like one!" I shouted, filling the whole room. "Jiyoon does not know a mother's love, so stop trying to say that you've been a good mother! A good parent knows how to balance her work life and home life! And this?! This is not what a good mother is!"
Her tears started to crawl down some more, "It's just how the fucking circumstances are!"
"Then find the fucking father," I told her. "If you can't fucking give Jiyoon the attention, her father surely will."
She slapped me, softly and gasped, "How dare you."
I looked at Chaeyoung and slapped her, harder. She held her cheek after I slapped her.
"Do you see how fucking stupid you are?! Getting back with a man who does not deserve you?! Not giving your own child the necessary attention she needs?!" I shouted.
Jisoo held my hand before I could slap her again, "Jennie Kim, that's enough. Let's go."
"Yeah, eonnie, let's go. She'll get her lesson from experience," Lisa says and walks out of the cafe.
After, Jisoo walks out from the cafe as well, I turned to Chaeyoung once more.
"Jungkook imagined a getaway in Okinawa with you and Jiyoon. Visit Universal Studios in Osaka, right after. See the only Disney Sea in Asia in Tokyo, the next. Walk around Sapporo, like what Jiyoon dreamed of," I looked down and half-smiled. "The memory of him talking to me about his future plans with you just felt amazing. Made me wish there was someone who loved me the way he loves you. Can't you just realize how lucky you are to have someone in your life like Jungkook? In my point of view, it's you who doesn't deserve someone like Jungkook."
Then that's that, I walked out of the cafe. Quickly entered the car and drove the 2 girls to their homes.
Jungkook PoV
The sun shined bright into my eyes.
I'm back in Seoul.
After a week's break, I have finally returned to my apartment. It's still clean and fresh, there are papers in my work area, the old dishes I left were clean.
Seems like the maid Rachel sends every morning still comes by.
There's no smog in Seoul today, just a clear blue sky.
I wonder what I should first do today. Talk to my hyungs or go to office? For sure the 6 of them need an explanation, Yoongi-hyung included there.
Or should I pass by the hospital to see her? Nah, she's probably doing well with that man.
Or go to our mansion, besides, I've never really been there since the last family dinner. Which, as I recalled, was when Chaeyoung shut Wonyoung down.
I checked the clock on my night stand, it's already 10:30 in the morning. Just what time did I arrive from Busan yesterday? Or what time did I leave Busan yesterday?
I got up from bed and walked to the bathroom, after taking a shower, I changed into black slacks, red shirt and a black coat.
The days are getting colder as winter is about to come. The sunny weather outside won't be sunny as I step out from the building later.
I grab my phone and messaged my hyungs to meet up at Namjoon's office. His office is spacey, and his secretary always serves food, unlike Rachel who serves tea.
Ugh, big eye roll to her.
There were a lot of notifications right after I messaged them, but I didn't bother to respond. And I drove to the hospital, not to meet her, that's not my reason any more but to talk with my hyungs.
As I drove into the entrance of the hospital, I saw a car ahead of me entering it as well. The car was obviously not as expensive as mine. And he parked 2 parking spaces away from me.
When he got down, I also got down. He walked towards the entrance ahead because I still had to recheck if my car's door is locked properly.
Then I walked in the hospital, only seeing a heartbreaking scene in front of me. Chaeyoung running to the man that entered ahead of me.
So that's Junhoe.
I stared for a while, then I felt a bigger figure at my back.
"He's a bitch, I know," I heard Chaeyoung's friend, Chanyeol say.
"Agreed," I nodded.
We both laughed but I walked ahead to Namjoon's office.
As I opened it, there weren't anybody inside. So I sit down freely on the sofas. I started to play with my phone and after 10 or 30 minutes, the door at my back opened.
"Oh, my God," I heard.
I turned around and saw Namjoon running to me. I stood up, so I can give a bro-hug for him. That was what I thought he wanted to have but instead, he hugged me fully.
"You're alright," he said. "Oh, my goodness, Jeon Jungkook."
"Mianhae, hyung," I said.
Slowly, the 6 of them entered to room.
With Jimin and Taehyung following after Namjoon, Hoseok next and last was Jin who was video-calling Yoongi while entering.
As we sat down on the sofas, all of them in front of me. Like I was in that question-room investigators or police have when they capture a criminal.
But their eyes were all soft.
They've been looking for me everywhere, that's what Cole said. And now that I'm slowly regaining who I was before meeting Chaeyoung, I'm finally found.
I cleared my throat and looked to them.
"Mianhae, hyungs. My world does not only revolve around Chaeyoung, but you guys as well. I'm sorry for not telling you guys where I was, and for telling Dongie-hyung to keep it a secret," I started and smiled. "But I'm back, and I'm very sorry."
