Chapter 20: No
It's been weeks since Jungkook and Jimin last talk. The atmosphere between them is so damn tense. Even their colleagues notice that. If Jimin is there, Jungkook will walk away and if Jungkook is there, Jimin will leave. If both of them were put in the same place, the situation would be awkward. Too awkward for anyone to say anything. Every single time!
Jungkook has completely stop meeting Minjoon. Jimin notices the changes in Minjoon and he knows exactly what caused it. Even though Minjoon didn't throw tantrum or whines like he usually did when he upset, Jimin knows his son. He knows exactly when he's upset. So, he takes this chance to meet Minjoon at his school twice a week during his lunch hour. It helps, but not as much as when Jungkook was there.
Jungkook's new hobby these day is either getting drunk at a random bar with his friends or bowling. He's addicted to bowling these days. If his mom didn't force him to have dinner or spend time together with Naeun, he's probably bowling all night.
But tonight, he didn't feels like going for bowling. So, he's at the bar, wasting himself, with his brother, Junghyun. It's been such a long time since they spend time together, just the two of them. To be honest, they used to be close before, but he didn't know what happened, they rarely talk with one another these. He decided to just drink because getting drunk is one of the solution to push away the awkwardness.
"Jungkook ah, stop drinking, you're wasted already" Junghyun stops him from drinking.
"One m-hic-more. I'll stop after one-hic-more" Jungkook bottoms up the drink. He giggles at the empty glass in front of him.
"Hyung, look at this. –hic- they're gone~" he giggles again. Junghyun didn't even know what's funny about an empty glass, but since he's a little tipsy, he joined the laugh.
"How's the wedding preparation going on?"
"Pffffftttt.... Boring~ but my bride is pretty~" Jungkook giggles again, putting his index fingers together.
"Yeah~ she is...."
"Yes, with brown eyes, short-wavy blonde hair. Hair—his hair sometimes look like ramyeon hyung *giggles*. Sometimes I feel like I want to crack an egg on top of his head. He's cute. No! He's adorable like that. He loves to pout when he's in a deep thought. Everytime he does that, I feel like I want to kiss him right at that time. *giggles* his hands are small~ just like Minjoon's." Jungkook smiles at the empty glass.
Junghyun stops drinking. He frown while looking at his younger brother. Naeun has a big emerald eyes, just like her mother. Her hair is long and straight. And the fact that Jungkook uses 'his' instead of 'her' shocked him.
"When he smiles, his eyes turns into crescent. Just like that moon. And I used to think that he's an angel. Wait! He's not an angel... he's a fairy~ a very beautiful fairy." Jungkook giggles. He takes his empty glass and fills them up with alcohol.
"Jungkook....." Junghyun stops him from doing so. He sees his brother smiles at him, but his eyes are teary.
"He's so pretty—so pretty hyung" Jungkook sobs faintly.
"Who is he?"
"He didn't want me. He said it was all a mistake. That I shouldn't—we shouldn't do it. He said it means nothing. How can it means nothing when it hurts so bad hyung? I—I love him hyung. I couldn't hold it anymore. I love—love him." Jungkook cries. He puts his forehead on the counter and starts crying sadly.
Junghyun said nothing. He rubs his brother's back, watching him letting his emotions out. Junghyun learns something that day. Jungkook really-really good at hiding his feelings. All these time, whenever they asked him about his wedding with Naeun, he would smile and said good things about it. He didn't know Jungkook suffered like this. He didn't know Jungkook's heart was stolen by someone else.
He needs to find out who he is with the clues he got from Jungkook and one name, Minjoon. There's one person that can help him finds that person. Taehyung must've known something.
--------------------------------------------------
Jimin wakes up feeling nauseous. He's been eating a lot these days. He's always hungry. Probably because he's been spending too much time working these days. He got up, walks to the kitchen and takes some relieving pills, hoping that it could ease his stomach.
Lucky it's Sunday, because if not, he wouldn't know whether he could go to work like this. He decided to just make a simple breakfast for both him and Minjoon. He didn't have the energy to cook something this morning. So, he decided to just make a simple fruit-bowl. One for him, and one for Minjoon.
Jimin takes out a bottle of milk. But once he opens the lid, the smell of milk is so-so strong, making Jimin feels like puking up. He runs towards the bathroom and starts to empty up his stomach. He didn't have any problem with milks before, well, maybe the milk has gone bad already.
Jimin walks slowly to the living room and lay down on the couch. He didn't have any energy left to do anything.
"Appa?"
Jimin turns his gaze at his son. He smiles and greet him good morning.
"Appa sick?" Minjoon place his small hand on top Jimin's forehead, just like what Jimin used to do whenever he's sick.
"Appa will be fine once I take a nap. Minjoon ah, can you please get our mails here? I want to check our bills" Jimin points at the mailbox next to their door. Minjoon nods and starts running.
He brought a few letters towards Jimin and place them on the table next to where Jimin is lying down. Jimin ruffles Minjoon's hair while praising him. He told Minjoon to go and get the bowls with fruits in in to the living room and Minjoon did. He sits ups straight, ignoring the small headache. He checks every letter he got.
Jimin notices there's a pink envelope among those letters that he got. He picks it up, flip them back and forth before opening it.
With joy, you are invited to
Jeon Jungkook
And
Kim Naeun
Wedding on Third of June 201_
Jimin's heart sank when he read the card. The wedding is happening a week from now, Jungkook is getting married. Jimin knew, he was always scared of this. And the fact that it's really happening indicates that he's really losing Jungkook. For real.
"Appa? Why are you crying?" Minjoon uses his small hands to wipes Jimin's cheek.
Jimin startled, he didn't even notice that his tears are falling. He smiles at Minjoon "Appa is happy. Uncle Jungkook is---"Jimin knows, if he tell Minjoon about it, Minjoon would be so upset. Jimin shakes his head. He tells Minjoon that it was nothing and ask him to play together instead.
Jimin is scared. He's scared of lots of things. He's scared of falling in love with Jungkook. He's scared of Jungkook's feeling for him. He's scared of breaking Naeun's heart. He's scared of breaking his promises and vows with Namjoon. He's scared to be in love again. He shut his heart from anyone, everyone. That's why he should feel relieve when he saw the card.
'Yes, this is right. This is how it should be'
------------------
"Oppa! Come on! It's not too late... we can still fixed this. Let's just called it off! Be a man and confess to Jimin oppa! You love him!" Naeun shouted, frustrated with Jungkook's attitude. He's aware that the wedding is still on and he did nothing to stop it. Naeun tried to talk to their family to call of the wedding, but they just brushes it off since Jungkook said nothing about it.
"The thing is!! He didn't love me... he didn't. But you did. Let's just continue this wedding. I'll learn to love you. I will. Just give me time. Please" Jungkook lowered his head. He knows it wasn't fair for anyone. But Naeun shouldn't sacrifice for something that impossible to happen. Jimin clearly said that he didn't love him, that it was all mistakes. What's there to wait? Naeun loves him, he will learn to love her. He will.
"Oh god, oppa..... Did you even listen to yourself? You sound ridiculous! Yes I love you! That's why I don't want to see you hurting like this. Please oppa, get a hold of yourself!"
Jungkook is getting annoyed. It wasn't his fault that Jimin didn't want him. He wished that Jimin would stop think him as a friend. Of course he wants more. But Jimin didn't and he had enough of it. He stands up and walk away. He didn't even care that Naeun yells, calling his name.
