73: Reflection
Jungkook stayed in the room with Jimin a moment longer, telling him all these stories of Woosung with now glittering emotions of happiness in his eyes. Jimin listened. He listened through it all.
He laughed when something was funny.
He nods when Jungkook wanted him to understand.
He was strong when the ravenette began to cry.
And smiles when Jungkook was happy.
From there on....... Jungkook's eyes began to fill with light once again as he accepts Woosung's memory back into his life.
Along with Yeosang's too, letting them slowly heal from it.
As the two lay down on the floor, staring at the ceiling with a peaceful aura around them, a certain doubt began to cloud Jimin's mind.
Karma.
They have to know what they're going to do about Karma.
"Jungkook," Jimin whispers, making the ravenette turn to him, "Do you..... Do you still love Karma?"
Silence, once again was the room filled with silence.
Jimin officially turns to Jungkook, seeing the hard look on his face as he stares at the ceiling and how he flutters his eyes closed, "No... It wasn't love. He just wanted control over me," He whispers and narrows his eyes, "I'm going to report back to the agency-"
"Wait."
Jungkook turns to look back to Jimin, who held a heavy gaze of unease, "Let's..... Let's talk to him first."
Jimin could see the clear confusion on Jungkook's face when he says this, instantly sitting up, "Talk to him? You wanted to run away from him, even shot him, now you.... want to talk to him? I thought you hated him?"
"Oh trust me I do," He huffs and sits up as well, "But..... I feel like we need that closure from him..... We need to know why he did everything he did to us, with what purpose. We won't officially be free if we don't understand."
Jimin's right, of course he's right. Even though Jungkook has finally come to understand his circumstances, he won't ever be at peace with himself unless he knew Karma's motives behind this.
He may not love him, doesn't mean he didn't have a small bit of affection in his heart left for him.
As sad as it is.
"Alright," Jungkook nods, seeing the small twitching smile on his lips, "I promised your freedom and protection..... I won't let you down again."
Jimin chuckles with a shake of his head, leaning over to wrap his arms around Jungkook's shoulders, laying his head on his chest, "Dont worry, I can handle myself if things go south."
Now came the guilt.
So much guilt.
How could Jimin be so nice to him after everything he's done?
It's not like the other didn't understand where Jungkook was coming from, but it would be easier for Jungkook to handle his guilt if Jimin was mad at him.
But he's not..... And it just makes him feel like shit.
Jungkook deeply inhales and runs a hand through Jimin's hair, "I'm so sorry Jimin.... I'm so sorry for how I acted with you."
"Stop it's okay," Jimin huffs lightly, and he gently pulls away, "We talked about this. It's okay."
A heavy pout forms Jungkook's lips, "Still.... I don't feel good about it," He whispers and slowly stands up, looking around the room, "I hope he's not upset with me too."
Jimin frowns as he rises to his feet as well, "He's not," He murmurs stares at the carved initials on the wall, "If anything, he'll be so proud for you for being so strong."
Jimin is too good for this world.
Too damn good.
Jungkook releases a small chuckle and turns to Jimin, "Can you just let me be sad?"
"Nope sorry," Jimin grins before stuffing his hand in his pockets, "Want to stay here for the night?"
Oh Jungkook wanted to. He wanted to stay here forever if he could. Just be with Woosung's spirit for a moment longer even if he can't see him.
Sadly.... He can't do that, he must face life outside and keep going down his path.
Just as Woosung believed in him.
So Jungkook smiles and shakes his head, "Lets go get some answers."
And the two walked out the room with hands interlaced together, making Woosung's spirit smile proudly as he finally goes to find his peace.
Jungkook will definitely be okay now.
The two males walk down the stairs and to the living room to see Mrs. Kim sitting there on the couch, reading a book. She looks up when she heard the two and smiles brightly, "I guess it's time for you to go huh?"
Jungkook nods and bows at her, "Thank you...... For everything. I promise to visit more often."
The woman gets to her feet and hugs the tall male tightly, "I should be thanking you, for bringing my Woosungie's memory alive again."
Alive again indeed.
Now he can hear his name without feeling so low.
Now..... Jungkook can feel relief.
So Jungkook smiles softly to this and lets her go, seeing how she moves to Jimin.
"Remember to drink lots of water okay?" She advised, making Jimin hide back his smile with his hand, "It's a process to get through withdrawals so please take care of yourself and try not to relapse."
"I'll do my best," He beams and hugs her tightly, closing his eyes, "Thank you for taking care of me."
"You're going to make me emotional," She chuckles and pulls away, holding onto his arms, "You better visit me too!!"
"Of course I will."
She accompanies the two outside and to Jimin's surprise he sees Lucas standing there leaning against his motorbike. It's no surprise he followed Jungkook here, and it was respectful of him to not try to intervene on what was going on inside the cabin even though he could've.
Shockingly he waited this long though.
When he heard the front door opening, he instantly stands up straight and bows to Mrs. Kim.
"We're going with you," Jungkook tells him as they walk down the steps and to him, making Lucas look up to them with a perked eyebrow.
Maybe he didn't expect Jimin to be in that equation as well.
Lucas knows how much Jimin has been driven to get his freedom, so going back to the place where it was taken away made Lucas feel slightly hesitant.
The small blond smiles at him when Lucas meets his eyes, "Are you sure?"
He knew what Lucas was trying to say. More so is he sure he's ready to face Karma again?
Jimin turns his head to look at Jungkook, who gives his hand a gentle squeeze with a small smile.
He's not alone, he can do this.
"Yeah, I'm sure," He says confidently and looks back to Lucas, "We have a lot to catch up on either way."
A lot to catch up on would be an understatement.
Lucas slowly nods at him, watching as the two goes on to pile onto Jungkook's motorbike while giving one last wave to Mrs. Kim before driving off into the darkness of the night.
Where the stars shine much brighter than on a regular day.
At the same time Lucas gets on his bike and waves at Mrs. Kim as well, "Have a good night."
Mrs. Kim chuckles and waves back at him, "You too Lucas."
He smiles widely at her and starts his bike but then freezes, his eyes slightly dilating in realization.
Lucas....
How did she know his name was Lucas?
Taehyung told her-
Instantly Lucas looks back to ask her but she's already gone inside.
Maybe it slipped while they were together?
Who knows.
Lucas shrugs it away and instantly drives away, catching up to the pair as they ride down the highway.
Back to the masked man who will have to face his two reflections once again.
