29. Still with you
"Oppa, can I come in or you're busy?" Jia peeked in Yoongi's studio, where the elder was busy with his piano. Yoongi smiled and nod his head in agreement to signal Jia that she was free to enter.
When Yoongi didn't see his nephew, he questioned, "Where's Ji-hu?"
"He's with his Jinnie." Jia laughed, which made Yoongi smile and shake his head.
Not long after, he looked at his sister's face, wanting to talk about important things.
Jia was busy looking at the computer screen with a smile on her face, which displayed her brother's sound mixing and production work.
"Jia?" Yoongi called her to grab her attention. When he looked at her sister, he continued, "What have you decided?"
"About what exactly?" Jia questioned back, not really understanding what Yoongi meant.
Yoongi pulled Jia's chair closer to his. "About Jungkook. What have you decided about him?" His face softened when Jia smiled at her brother's concern.
"We went on a date when you weren't here. I let him know about my past."
"About Taehyung?" He questioned with shock.
"Of course, about him. There's nothing else in my past that concerns him besides Taehyung." Jia shrugged, not really minding how she was mentioning her ex-husband.
Yoongi couldn't help but smile when he realized it. He ruffled her hair with tenderness, thinking about how his sister had matured so quickly.
Jia got up and leaned in to hug Yoongi, who was stunned when he observed the abrupt motions. But he smiled as he hugged her back.
"I'm planning to move on, Oppa. And if Ji-hu wants to meet Taehyung, I won't stop him." She let go of Yoongi's hug and knelt in front of him, staring him down and grabbing his hands. "I want Ji-hu to be able to grow up without any constraints."
Yoongi kept staring at his sister, taking in everything she said. "You're right!"
"I'd like you to forget everything as well. Let everything be in the past. You've been working with Tae, and will continue to do so. I can see that you respect him professionally. Don't mix up my personal life with your professional one. You are free to be normal around him. I want you to live freely too, Oppa." She began rubbing circles on the back of his hands.
"Let us all move on. Be good to him. He is a great person and a good father, despite not being a good husband. I've seen how well he looks after Ji-hu. He realizes his mistakes and that's enough for me."
When Yoongi noticed his sister's sudden mature side; the corner of his mouth turned up, which displayed his gummy smile.
There were days when Jia would always look up to Yoongi and the latter would protect and support her as if she were his daughter. But, for the first time, she appeared to have grown well. He loved to see this side of Jia too.
"Indeed, we should move on." Yoongi leaned down and kissed Jia on the forehead, assuring her that he would move on and leave his worries behind.
Yoongi was tired too. When Taehyung was around, he always felt a sense of warmth in his heart. But he couldn't show any of his true feelings since he could only see him as Jia's ex-husband who had betrayed her, not as his junior. Now he'll just let everything go and let Jia's fate decide her future. Moreover, Jin was correct too. If they were meant to be, fate will play a significant role.
"So what will you do now? Going back home or at the café?" Yoongi inquired.
"I'll let Ji-hu be here and I'll be with Jungkook for some time. And then I need to go to the café. We need to prepare some orders, and I need to keep track of everything." Jia sighed in response at the remembrance of her day that was going to be hectic.
Yoongi was able to see right through Jia. And so he could make out that his sister might be busy. "You can leave Ji-hu here. He has all his extra clothes here. So you just rest properly after work."
"Oppa, if he wants to stay with Tae, let him." Jia furrowed her eyebrows and showed a frown with large puppy eyes as if she was pleading.
"Sure! Who am I to intervene? I've decided to move on because the fact that you're moving on is enough for me. So certainly, I don't mind if he spends all of his time with Tae." He used the same tone as Jia when he said "Tae."
Yoongi did notice Jia referring to Taehyung as 'Tae', but had previously overlooked it. Now that she did it again, he felt something odd. Because she never sounded so soft when she mentioned Jungkook, he had no idea what he was feeling. Although he could be overthinking it, a simple "Tae" from her mouth sounded strange to him.
Jia rose from her seat after checking the time on her phone. "I think I should go meet Jungkook right now. See you soon, Oppa. Take care!" She hugged Yoongi, who had also stood up, and he was now certain that 'Jungkook' sounded different from her mouth.
Once Jia went out, closing the door behind her, he couldn't help but mumble, "Only if you hadn't divorced her, I would have tried my best to keep Jia in your life. But you messed up big and I can't forgive you. I would have let everything slide, but the divorce was too much." He sighed as he conversed with the imaginary Taehyung.
Little did he know that Jia was the one who divorced Taehyung, not the other way around!
🥀
Jia was going to proceed to the next floor, which had the members' rooms. But when she noticed the lights of Jungkook's studio on, she knocked on the door, assuming he was working.
Jungkook stood up to check who it was. He wanted to shoo uninvited guests today because he had to work. However, when he saw Jia, his eyes twinkled and a bunny smile sprang on his face.
"Come on in, Jia! What brought you here?" Jungkook grabbed the girl's wrist and dragged her inside, closing the door behind them.
Of course, he had to work, but Jia was equally important to him. If it was Jia, he'd gladly give up an hour or two.
"I had come to drop Ji-hu. So I decided to pay you a visit before going to the café." Jia informed with a smile as she made her way to a couch.
Jungkook drew his chair in front of Jia and sat like the whipped boy he was.
"You did nice! I was tired because of work." Jungkook rubbed his temples while mentioning his work. It was hectic for him.
Jia noticed Jungkook's worn expression and got up from the couch, moving behind Jungkook's chair.
She pulled his head upwards and began massaging his temples.
Jungkook couldn't figure out what was going on at first, but as he felt Jia's delicate fingers massaging his temples, he closed his eyes and reveled in the feeling of being cared for.
When Jia watched Jungkook's mouth wide open as he moaned about the feeling, she grinned. He must be really tired, she thought.
"So, what were you doing?" She inquired, wanting to genuinely know what he was up to.
Jungkook was so lost in how Jia's fingers worked perfectly on his head, that he only responded with a few words. "Writing song."
"And what name did you decide?" She inquired again.
Jungkook's eyes were wide open at the inquiry. He sat up upright and started panicking all over again. "I can't think of anything, Jia. I need to come up with a song soon, but I can't think about the title or the theme. What am I going to do? How can I finish-"
Jia sat back on the couch and took Jungkook's hands in hers, squeezing them tightly in order to get the panicked man's attention. "I'm still here with you. So, I'll help you. Don't panic." She spoke softly as she continued holding his hands.
"Breathe in," She inhaled deeply and waited for him to imitate her. "Breathe out!" She continued to instruct him, and Jungkook returned to normal in a matter of minutes.
"I'm still here with you, I'm still here with you, I'm still here with you." Jungkook closed his eyes and chanted those words. He opened his eyes when something struck his mind, "Still with you."
"What?" Jia questioned with a puzzled look. She almost felt like Jungkook had lost his mind.
"Still with you. That will be the title of my song. Thanks, Jia!" He flashed his bunny smile and hugged her tightly. Jia chuckled at Jungkook's excitement as she hugged him back and rubbed soothing circles behind his back.
"Still with you!" She murmured lowly and smiled in the hug.

So, how was it?
Do you think she will really move on?
Who will prove to be the main lead? Taehyung or Jungkook?
Also, who do you want Jia to end up with?
I think you'd be happy that I decided to end the fights between Taegi and Yoonmin 🙈
See you all soon! ♥️
