Chapter Fifty Three

Third Person's POV



Jimin lowered down his head tears flowed freely, Namjoon glances away with pained expression.



"I hide everything from Jungkook and then leaves Busan along with him." Namjoon tells the smaller male sadness lingering in his tone. "Jungkook blamed himself and I didn't do anything but to keep silent, watch him suffer." Namjoon confesses guilt swelling up inside him. He glances back at the younger male and continued.



"When you showed up and came back into our lives again, I wanted to tell Jungkook the whole truth but I hesitated." Jimin remained silent tears doesn't stop from falling.



"Because I don't know how to tell him, I don't know where do I start, and the fact that you don't remember him... us... it makes the situation harder. I can't just spill everything when you have already lived without any engagement with us."



"You lived for two years, without knowing who he was... and I decided to let it be that way and have tried to push my brother to you, to get you back together but its harder than I thought... because for Jungkook, you hated him." Namjoon explained. Jimin couldn't manage to let out a word only sobbing quietly. Namjoon places his hand on the younger's back eyes filled with sadness.



Namjoon looked up when he notices Seokjin's presence. Namjoon stood up and Seokjin looks at him with questioning gaze but he only gave Seokjin a faint smile, as if telling the other male to take care of Jimin.



Namjoon took a step away but Seokjin held his arm stopping him from going anywhere and Namjoon gazes back at him expression unreadable, Seokjin looks at him expression concern.



"Where are you going?" Seokjin asked tone concern. "I'll talk to him." Namjoon replied but Seokjin frowned dropping his hand off the other male. Who is he going to talk to? Seokjin asked himself. When Namjoon saw the worried look in the older's face, he smiled and ruffles Seokjin's hair.



"No need to worry, I'll go ahead." Namjoon bids him a goodbye, Seokjin's expression softens. "Take care." He softly said.



When Namjoon left, Seokjin look down at the smaller male. Seokjin look at him sadly before he sat down beside him and places his hand to Jimin's shoulder pulling him into his chest.



"Hyung..." Jimin calls out; Seokjin only hummed in response, Jimin choked a sob making Seokjin's heart twinge in pain. "I- I can't believe my brother did that to us." Jimin tells him in between his broken voice.



Seokjin's expression fell. He may not understand what's happening but he understood Jimin's pain. Seokjin only hugged Jimin tightly comforting him.




Past.



Jungkook closes the door behind him and sees his hyung and Chanyeol outside, Jungkook moves closer to Namjoon.



"Hyung, do you know why Jimin was heading to Seoul?" Jungkook asked him voice tired and full of curiosity, Namjoon fell silent for a moment and glances at Chanyeol's direction.



The other male only look at him with blank expression, Namjoon looked back at his younger brother and slowly shook his head no.



"No, I don't know, Jungkook-ah."



Namjoon tightened his grip on the steering wheel, guilt crossing his face as he recalled the moment where he lied to his younger brother. Namjoon shook his head and started the engine and drive off.

When Jungkook saw Namjoon standing outside the front door. He only looked at him with blank expression, giving his older brother a silent treatment before heading back towards the living room with Namjoon silently following him behind.



Jungkook grabbed the bottle of alcohol and Namjoon watches his brother worriedly. A moment of silence had passed before the older male decided to speak up.



"I lied to you." Namjoon tells him, Jungkook just nodded along uninterested before he took a gulp of his drinks eyes boring on Namjoon.



"Before the accident," Namjoon trailed off and Jungkook pauses for a moment but manage to act like it wasn't affecting him. Jungkook stares down at the bottle of alcohol, "Here we go again." He mumbled voice annoyed, anger swells in him.



"Jimin came to me looking for you." Namjoon added, Jungkook look up to meet Namjoon's eyes. Jungkook is looking at his brother as if he was ready to kill. "I was the one who told him, you're in Seoul." Jungkook clench his jaw and threw the bottle he was holding causes it to break into small pieces.



Jungkook launched forward and gives his older brother a hard punch in his jaw that made Namjoon stumble a step backward. Jungkook grabbed him by the collar and shoves him on the wall, Namjoon winces when his back hit the wall.



"I told you to stop, didn't I?!" Jungkook said through gritted teeth before he harshly removes his hand from holding Namjoon's collar and took a step back, eyes full of hatred.



"I'm tired of this bullshit, hyung! When are you gonna stop?!" Jungkook shouted at him, "Stop making up stories because we're not getting back together!" He shouted again before turning his back on his brother frustrated and in disbelief.



"Jimin had forgiven you and followed you to Seoul! That was the whole truth that I've been hiding to you all along!" Namjoon spills out, silence fell throughout the whole room. Then Namjoon heard Jungkook scoff before turning to look at him again.



"I don't fucking believe you." Jungkook says shaking his head. "It's impossible; Jimin wouldn't forgive me just like that." Jungkook added tone painful.



"He will never forgive me." Jungkook almost whispered, pain written all over his face, tears welling up in his eyes.



"Just leave, hyung." Jungkook says to him, "Please." He pleaded while looking at Namjoon. The older male gazes away defeated.



Jungkook thought that Namjoon will leave him already but then he pulled out something in his pocket that turns out to be a phone. Namjoon walked up and places the said phone in the table with Jungkook following his movement. A frown appears in Jungkook's face when he recognizes the phone.



Namjoon took a step back eyes not directed at the younger male. "The day he got into the accident, he had left you a voice message... at least listen to it." Namjoon softly said and lowered his gaze in guilt before turning on his heels and left.



Jungkook's eyes were glued on the phone, in disbelief. He slowly moves towards the table heart getting heavier as he gets closer. A lump formed in his throat as he took the phone in his hand, tears threatening to fall down.



Missed call, November 29, 2016. 08:15 am.

Missed call, November 29, 2016. 10:20 am.

Missed call, November 29, 2016. 02:13 pm.



Jungkook's tears trickled down his face, heart clenches in unbearable pain as he saw the time, where Jimin had sent him the voice message, November 29, 2016. 03:15 pm. Jungkook swallowed the lump in his throat and opened the voice message, heart pounding against his rib cage.


["J-Jungkook-ah..."]




Past.



Jimin winces in pain, brows knitted together. He slowly open his eyes, blood dripping down his forehead. Jimin tilted his head to the side and saw his phone that he had drop earlier not far from where he is lying. Jimin weakly reaches his hand out and took the phone in his hand.



Jimin presses the call button and brought his phone close to his ear, hoping this time Jungkook would able to accept his call—"Sorry but the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please leave a voice message after the beep." Tears formed in Jimin's eyes.



"J-Jungkook-ah." He calls out almost whispering, tears streaming down his cheeks.



"I wanted to see you," Jimin said sincerely, "But I guess... I'm too late for that." The younger male added eyes filled with sadness.



"I know... you didn't mean to do that to me, you didn't mean to hurt me..." Jimin softly said assuring the other male that he knows. "So please don't be too hard on yourself, okay?" Jimin pauses biting his lower lip preventing himself from letting any sound as if hiding the pain he felt not being able to see Jungkook in his last moment.



" Promise me, you'll live peacefully without carrying any guilt or regret with you. Please, be happy for me." Jimin's vision began to blurry, more tears falling from his eyes but he forces himself to stay awake.



"Even though there's no happy ending between us, I want you to know that... being with you... was the happiest moment of my life." Jimin then slowly closes his eyes and smiled as the image of Jungkook smiling face suddenly flashed in his mind.



"I'm sorry," He says voice cracking, "I'm sorry for leaving you so soon... but always remember that I love you. Only you, Jungkook-ah." Jimin said faintly.



Soon after the phone he was holding slips through his hand, smile on his lips slowly fades away.



And moments later, sirens could be heard in the background.

Present.


It's getting dark already but the younger male still stayed in the Park all alone. Sitting in silence and absentminded with blank expression. Jimin closes his eyes and let out a heavy sigh. He stood up and started to walk away with a heavy heart, head hanging low.



Jimin keeps on walking without any destination in mind but freezes when a sound of someone running was heard— then it suddenly stops, Jimin pulled his brows together and quickly lifted his head up.



Jimin's eyes widened when he saw him standing not far from him breathing heavily eyes fixed into him. They stared into each other's eyes with so much emotions, Jimin's expression softens and broke into a smile, tears streamed down his face as he mutters....



"Jungkook-ah."



Jungkook runs up towards Jimin and throws his arms around him, Jungkook closes his eyes and pulls Jimin closer hugging him tightly— tears keeps from falling. Jimin then wrapped his arms around Jungkook's waist, nuzzle his face in his neck and sobs quietly.
