Chapter 76: The tears I've cried
"Where are we going?! I'm so nervous! You have a gun and you might kill someone!" Shouted Taehyung, starting to panic as Jimin rolled his eyes. They were in the car, travelling to Jungkook's house. Not caring about what time it was at the moment. Jungkook had to be awake for this.
"Taehyung, shut up! I'm not going to kill you." Jimin added as the younger started to cup his own face and sob silently from the fear that rose in him. "Fuck.." Jimin cursed under his breath as the younger was still in tears.
"Stop yelling at me for being afraid!" Taehyung shouted as Jimin gave the driver a look of how much he despised this already.
"Wait... The ring!" Jimin panicked as he sat up to the driver and tapped him. "P-Penthouse! We need the ring!" Jimin said as Taehyung was scared for his life.
"I want to go home!" Taehyung stated. Jimin only turned his head to glare at his co-worker sitting there, panicking. Jimin knew he'll be taking long if he had to head back to the penthouse, pick up the promise ring, drop off Taehyung and of course head off to Jungkook's place. Yet Jimin didn't lose hope, he still had yet to see Jungkook. That was the only thing that kept him calm throughout the early morning.
At the time Jimin was on his way to his penthouse, Jungkook decided to stay up and finish up the necklace. Finally being able to add in the final pieces. As soon as he super glued the final pieces, he rolled his chair back and took off his goggles, switching off the light on it and blinking his eyes so they can adjust to looking without the goggles. Jungkook gazed at the necklace with a smile, waiting for the glue to dry now.
"I-It's done..." Jungkook said, the tone of his voice sounded like he had energy. Like he had purpose to live now, knowing he finally put the final pieces back together. "I can give this back to Jimin now!" Jungkook added and was close to grabbing the necklace when he realized it was still drying so he left it there to dry. "I'll see him soon.." Jungkook mentioned, walking out of the room to atleast grab himself something to eat for the meantime.
Jungkook walked to the kitchen, it was around 5:01 AM now and the boy was glad he atleast got it done before having to work on it the next day. He was finally free from the small guilt he had from shattering it. Jungkook took out a tea bag so he can make himself tea and eat a muffin to atleast have something in his stomach from working hard for almost a week. He almost forgot how great it was to go outside because of this prison he only made for himself. In Jungkook's mind, he knew this was what he deserved over the pain he brought towards Jimin and himself.
Jungkook sat down on his chair, drinking out of the cup of tea as he held a chocolate chip muffin in his hands. Jimin was still on the boy's mind and at the moment he still wondered how great it would feel to hear his voice. Jungkook then took out his phone and accessed the voicemail he managed to download and keep from Jimin. The younger then held up the phone to his ear and began to listen to Jimin's soft voice while the boy looked down at the ground, smiling a little.
"Hey Jungkook... I haven't seen you in a long time now and, I miss you already. I'm already a wreck. Ah, please tell me you'll hear me out... I only wish the best for you... I'm sorry for all I've done. Please don't force yourself to call me back.. I'll learn to live with this now.... I love you..."
Jungkook kept his tearful gaze at the ground as he hugged his knees on the kitchen cushions in front of the table. Jungkook drank his tea and took a bite out of the muffin as he placed the phone down and replayed the message until he felt like the void in his heart was filled. "I love you too...." Jungkook whispered. Those words alone sent chills down his spine. Still having the fear of seeing Jimin after what the older man has done. Yet it didn't bother him as much as he did before.
Jungkook finished up the muffin and left his hot tea down halfway towards the bottom of the mug as he layed his head down on the table and replayed the message once more. "I miss your voice..." Jungkook added as a small tear escaped his eye. He closed his eyes to sleep from the exhaustion he had in him. But just minutes after, There was a knock at the door. It was a very faded knock. Sounding quite similar to the one he heard before... The one he heard that day Jimin decided to meet Mrs. Jeon. Jungkook flinched and gazed at the clock now. It was 5:26 AM, who could be just beyond that door, expecting someone to be awake?
Jungkook stood up, placing his phone in his pocket and cautiously approached the door to see a figure of someone standing there. Waiting for him to answer. Jungkook was a bit scared and decided not to open the door. Jungkook just kept gazing at the figure in front of the door in silence through the window. It was dark outside and all he could see was nothing but the man keeping his hands folded and looking at the door. Standing there motionless.
Only then, the figure pulled out a phone and began to call someone, Jungkook only sinked down to avoid getting caught. Just then, his phone began to ring... Jungkook looked at his phone and checked the caller ID noticing that Jimin was calling now. The boy started to tear up, realizing the figure outside was Jimin all along! Jungkook quickly answered the phone and held it up to his ear.
"Jimin..." Jungkook whispered in tears while he kept looking out the window to see Jimin roll his hair back and turn around, still holding the phone up to his ear. Looking as if he was crying now.
"You... You finally answer..." Jimin whispered, sniffling and raising his hand up to dry his tears. "It feels great to hear your voice again..."
"Why are you calling me...?" Jungkook asked as he still gazed out the window to look at Jimin.
"I came to see you... I wanted to show you something.. Something you have the right to see." Jimin added as Jungkook kept his gaze at Jimin silently.
Jungkook then hung up to see Jimin stand there with the phone still over his ear. Set back at how Jungkook quickly hung up the phone. Jimin then set his phone away in his pocket and sat down on a chair at the porch. "Then I'll wait for you.." Jimin whispered. Seconds after, the light of the porch switched on, making Jimin gaze up at the door once again to hear the door knob unlocking and turning. Jimin's heart started to pound as he waited for the door to open.
Once the door opened, Jungkook stepped out to see Jimin quickly stand. Happy to see Jungkook after so long. Jimin's heart pounded for his lover and missed him deeply. He knew by just taking a glance at the younger's exhausted appearance, Jungkook missed him too. Jungkook started to tear up as Jimin walked forward, holding out his arms to hug the younger.
"I know..." Jimin said as Jungkook cupped his face, looking at the ground as Jimin walked close enough to Jungkook. "I missed you too..." Jimin added. All of a sudden, Jungkook quickly hugged Jimin close, tightening his grip as he cried on his lover's shoulder. Jungkook realized Jimin no longer had a scent of alcohol on his clothes, just nothing but cologne was present there. Making Jungkook tear up more on how Jimin wasn't drinking so much compared to before.
"I-I missed you.. So... So much... I love you.." Jungkook sobbed, hugging Jimin close while the older gently gave Jungkook a kiss on the cheek.
"I love you too..." Jimin replied, hearing nothing but silent weeps from his lover. Returning the love to Jungkook with his gentle embrace like before.
