"Okay. Bye eomma." He turn off his phone.

As soon as Jungkook got to the office, his mother just called him to come home immediately this afternoon. Makes him feel uneasy, if his youngest brother wants to get married... he does not believe it. So Jungkook quickly finished his work until the evening, wanting to know what is very important when he gets home later.

"I'm home."

Jungkook kissed Mrs. Jeon's cheek who faithful waiting at the door. Mrs. Jeon caressed her son warmly.

"Come inside."

"Even eomma didn't ask, I will come in." Jungkook say with teasing tone.

Mrs. Jeon smiled. They both walked into the living room.

Jungkook frowned when he saw everybody of their family gather around sitting at here. 'Is there a meeting?'

"Come sit, Jungkook." Mr. Jeon smile at his eldest son. Jungkook obeyed him sitting one single couch in front his father. Looks like that couch was reserved for him.

"Jimin-nie, bring something to drink." Said Mrs. Jeon.

"What's wrong? Why you guys treat me like a king?" He ask weird.

"Hyung, soon you will be king someday." Taehyung tease.

"You will know soon, don't worry... be happy." Soobin wink.

"And I am more worried about it." He laugh a little.

"You don't have to worry, Uncle Kookie." Beomgyu grinned.

"Jungkook hyung, here your drink." Jimin put the glass of cold water softly on the table.

Jungkook with wide eyes look at the younger, Beutiful.

"Wah, Jimin-nie... you're so beautiful today. Why everyone so happy these day?" Jungkook ask again still not satisfied with what will happen.

"How can't we be happy... our family will increase." Bogum interrupt who has been silent ever since.

"Why? You... again?" He point at Bogum belly.

"Yah..." Bogum yell. Jungkook only laugh.

"Actually like this, soon you will reach 30, right?" Mrs. Jeon ask.

"Yes, so?"

"I think you have been single for too long. Now is the time for you to get married, so..."

"What do you mean?" Jungkook still has not captured the true meaning of his mother.

"I have been wanting to match you with... Jimin for a long time."

"Jimin?" Jungkook sounded a little high.

"Yes, why?" Ask Mr. Jeon.

"No! I'm not agree." He prostest.

"Why is that?" Ask Mrs. Jeon.

Taehyung, Bogum, Soobin, Gyu and Jimin only keep silence, do not dare to interrupt.

"I'm not agree of this!"

"Why? What's wrong with Jimin, not pretty enough?"

"No... Jimin is really beautiful, graceful and respect to other... he is truly kind."

"Then why? Why you not accept him? Do you still think of Yoongi? You know that he's already gone?" Say Mrs. Jeon with a little angry.

"It's not about Yoongi, eomma. I knew he already left me... but my love to him never faded."

"Kookie... he must really want to see you happy and have a partner of your life. Why you not accept Jimin?"

"Eomma... I'm..."

"You know as well that Jimin has long held a feelings for you. Since the first time he met he has been interested in you and faithfully awaits you until now. I see you also like Jimin, so what's wrong with you getting married? Why do you not agree?" Mrs Jeon cut him.

Jungkook was silent, he looked at Jimin. Clear pearls of tears were already wetting the younger's cheeks. He knew the younger's heart was easily touched... he sigh heavily.

"But, eomma..."

"But what?"

"I already have a choice." Jungkook stared at his mother ask for forgiveness. He really feel guilty if he go against his own mother.

"What? Who? At Gacheon village?" Jungkook nodded.

"A villagers?"

"Yes!"

"I will not agree. You have to accept this no matter what." Mrs. Jeon insisted.

"Eomma..."

"That villagers only want your money, they are a gold digger who want something in return."

"Eomma! Do not talk bad about Seokjin. He is not like that!" He denied.

"So his name is Seokjin, huh! Is he more better than Jimin? More beautiful than Jimin?"

"Yes, yes!" Jungkook snapped with his voice a little high.

Everyone who is there is shocked. They did not thought that Jungkook would be so rude. They have never heard Jungkook speak so loud.

"Jungkook... how dare you raise your voice to me?" Mrs. Jeon's small heart was touched.

Jungkook realizes how wrong he was to elevate his mother. He did not mean to hurt the heart of his beloved mother. He loved his mother very much.

"Eomma... eomma, forgive me. I didn't mean to raise my voice at you, I am sorry, eomma." Jungkook say with guilt all over his body. He hugged his mother so much cared.

Mrs. Jeon wipes her tears, she caress his son full of love softly.

"Jungkook, if you truly love me so much... accept my request, hmm."

"Eomma..." His mind is mess.

Then how about Seokjin? I really loved him... I already promised him to always loyal to his love. I can't accept another presence... I truly love my Seokjin. I just can't accept Jimin.. he's that I already thought like my younger brother.

"Accept Jimin... hmm?" Mrs. Jeon persuade him.

Jungkook looked at Jimin and then his mother. He nodded weakly. Mrs. Jeon smiled happily. 'Eomma know you will follow my wishes.'.

Jungkook get up from the coach, he looked at Jimin. "Are you happy now?"

Jimin looked up at Jungkook. He knew that man was unwilling to accept it. He did love the man wholeheartedly but he did not expect for a fake love, beyond the will of the alpha he loved. Jimin looked at Mrs. Jeon who was smiling. Her smile gave him a little strength.

"If you want to be my partner of my life, you have to listen to my words carefully, okay?"

Jimin nodded. Jungkook took a deep breath, looking for space to speak.

"Eight years ago, Yoongi had left me in loneliness. Since then my heart has been tender to accept someone to fulfill this emptied heart. But now... someone has managed to inhabit my lonely heart all this time. I accept him wholeheartedly and sincerely love him. He is too special for me."

"What do you want to say the truth?" Jimin was able to catch the older's changed.

"Yes Jungkook, what?" Mrs. Jeon who curious.

Jungkook only carved a smile, he sit and lean down at the couch. "Seokjin's face is like peace for me, if that peace is lost... I do not know..." He shake his head.

"What do you mean by this?" Mrs. Jeon ask again still didn't understand his son.

"I can accept Jimin, eomma... but I can not forget my Seokjin." He stared deep into Jimin face. "Jimin... I really like you, love you like my own brother. I just didn't aspect you will have a feeling for me. But that is your choice, I respect it. But me... I can not promise your happiness. I can not give you the light of our married. It's not that I can't, but it because I really don't want to touch you as my beloved younger brother. I don't want you will regret of your life later, you still young.. so much choice you can make. So please... do not waste your time." He quick get up.

"Jungkook! Do not threat Jimin!" Mrs. Jeon said with angry.

"This is not a threat eomma, but it's a fact. Eomma.... my love to Seokjin is too pure and sincere. Jimin... forgive me if my words hurt your heart. I cannot lie to myself anymore." He left to his room.

Jimin was shocked, the he looked at Mrs. Jeon. That woman was also shocked, no words were uttered by the old lips.

◾◾◾◾◾

"Jungkook... Jungkook..." Mrs. Jeon knocked at Jungkook room.

Jungkook mind is really mess, with something he was unexpectedly. He have to... for his beloved mother. Jungkook get up from his bed and open the door of his room.

"What is it?" He looked at Jimin who was beside the old woman. The younger's face looked like he was just crying.

"We need to talk."

"Talk about what? Have I not agreed to your request."

"Yes.. but those words are only born from your lips... not your heart."

Jungkook reflected on his mother's face. the woman who raised him all this time... pampered and loved him.

"I do not want to hurt you, eomma. I realize without you who I am." Jungkook spoke slowly.

"Jungkook... please don't say that son. I know, eomma is forcing you too to comply with my wishes. I know you are also a human being with a heart and feelings. Forgive me." Tears of regret flowed down her cheeks.

Jungkook smiled, he slowly wiped away the tears of the person he loved.

"Thank you for understanding my feelings... Thank you, eomma." A warm kiss landed on his mother's forehead.

Mrs. Jeon also smiled, she stared at her son's face. I know you do not mean to hurt my heart... you are a good child, always take care of my heart first. But I... never tried to understand my own child. What mother am I? Just want my wish to be achieved, never think of your heart and feelings.

"Jimin, forgive me."

The younger look down. He gathered a passion to stare at that face.

"It's okay, this little brother understands it. Thank you for being willing to love me even as your own brother... I know, love cannot be forced, and love also requires sacrifice... so what's wrong if I'm sacrificing my feelings, my love... just for you and the one you love."

"Jimin... I'm..." Guilt crept in his heart.

"It's alright, I am fine." Jimin carved a smile.

"Really?" Jimin nodded.

"Thank you..." He bowed to the younger. "Eomma, do you agree if I take Seokjin here on Sunday later?"

"Of course you can. Eomma too can not wait to see soon to be my son-in-law." Mrs. Jeon nodded in agreement.

"Oh eomma, thank you. I love you so much, eomma." Jungkook pick his mother up. The woman screamed for put her down.

Jimin smiled.

I wish you happiness with him. Don't worry about my self. I know how to persuade myself, my heart... but all I know is that it is difficult to accept the presence of another man in my life. You are meditating in my heart, and it is not easy to get rid of it... I love you, now and forever. But I do not expect this love to reciprocate... because love requires loyalty and... sacrifice.
