Chapter 17: The Wall Is Cracking

Jimin sighs as he sees the flowers on his desk as usual. He knows Jungkook is stubborn, but to this extend even when Jimin already make it clear on Jungkook's face yesterday? Well, Jimin has to say, he's at least a bit impressed with Jungkook's effort. But this, is not enough.

[R]

'I know you're mad at me. I'm mad at myself to too. I wish I could turn back time so I wouldn't do the things that I regret'

-Chance-

Jimin stares at the notes. Jungkook is showing every feelings that he had. Every single regrets that he made. Jimin could sense the sincerity in his notes. It was simple, but full with meanings. For the first time, he decided to let the bouquet of the purple hyacinths stay at the corner of his desk.

He didn't forgive Jungkook yet. It's still too hurtful to forgive.

"Jimin ah, we're going to have a drink tonight, wanna join us?"Seungcheol asks while grinning ear to ear.

"Uhh... probably no. not this time. I have commitment. Sorry" Jimin said politely while typing his works out.

"Ahh, come on, you've been here for weeks and we haven't had any welcoming party for you yet. Come on, it'll be fun"

Jimin stops typing for a second. Of course he wants to spend time with his colleagues, but Jungmin is waiting at home and he can't trouble Jin again. Besides, Jungmin's sitter aren't available at night so he just couldn't.

"Come on Jimin, please........" Yeein leans on Jimin's desk, pleading him to join them.

Jimin sighs before nodding. "Okay, but I will leave early, very early. I really have things to do. Is that okay?"

His two colleagues shout a small yes upon hearing Jimin's answer which makes Jimin smiles towards them. Once they walks away from Jimin's desks, he quickly texts Jungmin's babysitter if she can look after Jungmin for a little while longer. Jimin smiles when she text him back with 'Of course'.

One thing Jimin fails to think is that Jungkook will definitely be there too. And now seeing Jungkook right in front of him, happily grilling some meats makes him want to just leave the scene right away.

"Jimin ah! Congratulations on your---- uhhh your---- I don't know. Just congratulation for working" Joshua exclaims.

Jimin chuckles a bit, seeing his friends acting silly even when their boss is right in front of them.

"Jimin ah, try this grilled prawn, it's the best!" Seungcheol said, trying to place the prawns in Jimin's plate.

"Jimin can't eat seafood" even before Jimin could stop seungcheol from placing the prawns onto his plate, someone else did that first. He glances over to Jungkook, whose holding seungcheol's wrist, preventing him from placing the prawn on Jimin's plate.

"How do you know about that?" Yeein asks. Clearly she didn't mena to ask that out loud.

"Uhhh I have to go now. Sorry" Jimin said, excuses himself. It's getting late and Jimin didn't want Jungmin to stay by himself. And he surely didn't want to trouble Jin hyung for tonight.

He rushes outside, glancing on his watch. He didn't even realize that he had bumped onto someone else.

"Watch where you going!" the man said, trying to wipe a stain of beer on his shirt.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to---"Jimin said, handing the man a few tissues from his pockets.

"Well, aren't you pretty? Wanna go out and have fun with oppa, cutie?" the man grabs Jimin's wrist and leans closer towards him. Clearly that this guy has been drinking and wasted.

"Let go! What are you doing!?" Jimin tried to yank his wrist but the man tighten his hold and keeps on lenaing closer with smirks on his face.

Jimin tried his best to push the guy away, but it's no use. The said guy is too big for him. He close his eyes tightly, facing away from the man. Then, he can feel the guy's hand letting go of his wrist, unwillingly.

He opens his eyes just to find the guy, lying on the floor, blood on the corner of his mouth and his own hand on his cheek. He looks at the scene in front of him and saw Jungkook next to him, with redden fist.

"Don't.Touch.Him" Jungkook grits his teeth and glare at the guy.

Jimin wasn't surprised when he sees the guy running away with frighten. Jungkook is really scary when he's mad and it was something that Jimin keeps in his mind.

"Are you okay?" Jungkook said, turning to Jimin with frown on his face. He takes Jimin's wrist and starts to check on it. His touch was so gentle as if Jimin would break if he put a little more pressure on it.

Jimin couldn't say anything. The touch sends sParks all over his body. He misses him, missing Jungkook, but no matter how much he misses him, the pain is too much. The pain is too damn much until his sweep through his bones.

"Did it hurt?" Jungkook asks, eyes fixed on Jimin. For once, after 4 years, their eyes meet again. Jungkook's gazes linger with warmth and love, just like the day when Jimin first fall in love with Jungkook.

"I'm fine. Thank you." Jimin slowly pulling his hands away from Jungkook. He tears his gaze away. He bows to Jungkook and walks away. Jungkook wants to stop him, hug him, telling him 'I love you', beg for him to come back to his life, say sorry but he couldn't. Jimin wouldn't want him to.

----------------------------------------

"Why'd you leave early yesterday?" seungcheol said, pout a little.

"uhh, I have things to do. I'm sorry I leave just like that"

"Girlfriend?" seungcheol smirks, raising one eyebrow.

"No." Jimin tried to focus on his works.

"Boyfriend?" this time, seungheol slightly poke Jimin's waist making Jimin giggles, ticklish.

"No. stop it! You'll get us into trouble" Jimin pushes seungcheol's hand away, still giggling lightly.

"Don't tell me you're married!" seungcheol fake gasp, acting like he's heartbroken by his own statement.

"No. come on now, stop. You're really getting us into trouble" Jimin pushes seungcheol away from his desk because if he didn't, who knows how long he'll be standing there.

"Okay, okay. Lunch with us. No excuses!" seungcheol said before leaving Jimin's desk.

Jimin shakes his head, chuckling at how silly his colleague is.

"Jimin, I need you to bring the files for the NeT Project. Did you finished the report?" Namjoon asks hurriedly. They have short meeting with the buyers in 10 minutes. Jimin nods his head and grabs the files and report for the meeting before following Namjoon to the meeting room.

The meeting somehow goes kind of smoothly. The buyers are really fussy in Jimin's eyes. They complaints a bit too much but with Jungkook, professionally answered every questions that they raised, making them nods in satisfaction.

"So, we have all the reports on the goods, everything is under control and ready to be shipped."

"Wait— I think there's a mistake in this report. Who made this?" Mr. Yoon, one of the buyers said, his eyebrows furrowed.

Jimin gulps while checking the copy of the reports in his hand, trying to find where his mistakes at.

"Sorry? Which page?" Jungkook asks, glancing at Jimin for a second before flipping the page to where the 'mistakes' at.

"It's written here that we are purchasing 500K of goods but in fact we're only purchased 300K. Who the hell write this goddamn report? This is not a small matter, do you know how much we would have to pay if I didn't notice this?" Mr. Yoon seems angry right now.

Jimin slowly raised his hand up. "I—I did. I'm sorry Mr. Yoon, but I only write what's written on the agreement."

"Bullshit! We didn't purchased that much! And what kind of report is this? So, not professional. This looks like it's written by a 6 years old. Mr. Jeon, are you kidding me right now? Letting this kid writing an important report?"

"Jimin, bring me the original copy of the agreement." Jungkook said, eyes still fixed on the report.

Jimin nods his head before leaving the meeting room to get the documents. He was so close to burst into tears. Getting yelled in front of a lot of people, he couldn't say how embarrass he is right now. Once he gets the documents, he quickly hands it over to Jungkook. Jungkook immediately goes through the documents in his hand.

"Mr. Yoon, according to this agreement, it's true that your company are purchasing 500K of the goods. It wasn't his fault, you can read it for yourself if you didn't believe it." Jungkook hands the document over to Mr. Yoon who seems shocked with Jungkook's statement.

"What? It can't be!" Mr. Yoon reads the agreement over and over again. His face flushed red by now. Jimin wasn't sure if it's from embarrassment or anger but he wouldn't say a thing about that.

"Look, it's just a simple mistake, we can redo the agreement, and redo the report. After all, the goods luckily aren't shipped yet. So, we still have time to change the amount" Jungkook said, looking as a calm as he can.

"Oh my god, I'm sorry, I'm the one who wrote the agreements, I'm really sorry, sir" Mr. Yoon's secretary said apologetically. Somehow, Jimin feels sympathy to the girl as he saw how pale she looks right now.

"Okay, let's redo the agreement." Mr. Yoon said, before glaring at his secretary.

"Okay. Now please apologize to my staff." Jungkook said with stern voice.

"Excuse me?" Mr. Yoon looks at Jungkook, disbelief in what he's hearing.

"Apologize. As he didn't do anything wrong. It wasn't his fault right? So please apologize." Jungkook repeats his words, loud and clear.

"Umm... it's fine. I didn't----"

"No Jimin ssi. If Mr. Yoon can scold you in front of everyone, I'm sure he could apologize to you the same way," Jungkook said, eyes still fixed on the man.

"AS IF! I won't apologize. And is this how you treat your client Mr. Jeon? Remember, we are the one who's buying you" Mr. Yoon said, arrogantly.

"I don't appreciate people downgrading my staff Mr. Yoon. And yes, I didn't forget that you're buying from us. I think you too shouldn't forget that there are many other companies wanted these goods. So, we're losing nothing if you didn't want to buy it from us. Since we're at it, the deals are off. Thank you Mr. Yoon" Jungkook nods his head towards his staffs and walks out of the meeting room, leaving everyone else speechless.

Jimin couldn't tell what he feels right now. He felt lots of emotions running through his body. He wants to say thank you to Jungkook for defending him but he couldn't. When he walks back to his desk, he spots a bouquet of white orchids on his desk.

[R]

'White orchids are a symbols of sincerity. They say, white orchids will last long just like how sorry I am towards you. What I did to you was not forgivable, I know. But I won't give up.'

-?-

Jimin shuts his eyes, notes are still in his hands. He didn't know what to say, how to feel. But one thing he knows, every single bricks on his walls are starting to fall down and he scared of it.
