Chapter Twenty
Third Person's POV
Jimin eyes widened as he sees the other male in front of him in the doorway, Seokjin ran towards the smaller male and gave him a tight hug.
"Were you surprised? I'm so sorry." Seokjin apologizes sincerely before pulling away from the hug, a genuine smile spread across Jimin's face. He's happy that he's back, because he misses the older's presence.
Jimin had helped the other male with his luggage even after the other male asked him not to. After helping Seokjin, Jimin walked up towards the Kitchen and prepared a coffee for Seokjin.
Jimin places the cup of coffee, Seokjin eyes lip up and he was about to thanks the smaller male when Jimin's phone vibrates, Jimin just took a glance at the caller ID but ignores it before he sat down beside Seokjin.
"Who's that?" Seokjin asked curiously.
"It's Taehyung." Jimin answered sighing. Seokjin's suddenly felt excited and gave Jimin a wide smile, "So you guys are friends now? Are you friends with Hoseok and Yoongi too?" He asked and then sips his coffee, Jimin hesitated he wasn't sure about Yoongi being his friend but he nodded his head in the end.
"Why aren't you answering Taehyung's calls?" He asked tone curious, Jimin smiled cheekily before answering.
"Personal reason." Seokjin laughs at his respond which made Jimin laughs as well. Jimin doesn't have time to play with Taehyung's games anymore. It's better to ignore him than to get involved again.
"Since you're friends now, can I ask you a favor?" Seokjin says blinking his eyes repeatedly and the smaller male chuckles and nods along.
"I bought them gifts, can you give it to them?" Jimin gave him a small nod which made Seokjin smile and hummed in response and pull out something inside his bag.
"This is for you." He says as he hand the color pink box to him, Jimin gave Seokjin a surprise look, mouth parted lightly. He pointed himself just to make sure he heard it right.
"Why are you so surprise, Jimin-ah?" Seokjin asked expression contorted with amusement, a small smile appeared in the smaller male's lips and scratch the back of his neck before he took the gift in his hands. He bows his head slightly and mumbled a soft thank you.
"It never crosses my mind that you would think of buying me a gift." The smile on the other male's face faded, Seokjin tilted his head to the side in confusion.
"Why is that?" Seokjin asked him, placing down his coffee on the table.
"You don't really know me that well and the reason why I'm here was because my hyung had asked you a favor." Jimin answered which made Seokjin's heart softens and patted the smaller male's head softly.
"It doesn't matter if I know you well or not, Jimin." He trailed off which caught the younger's attention, Jimin looked up at him. "The only thing that matters is that you're with me. I'm glad Chanyeol had asked me to look out for you." Jimin smiled faintly. It doesn't matter if he know me or not because the only thing that matters was that I'm with him? That was so sweet, the smaller thought silently.
"Ah, I nearly forgot I have a gift for Jungkook too." Seokjin bit his lower lip before throwing Jimin a concern look, "I'm sorry are you guys still not okay?" Seokjin asked tone careful. Jimin smiled at him and shook his head.
"We're friends. Jungkook and I are friends now." The smaller male announces tone happy.
"That's good to hear." Seokjin said with a smile. Jimin lowered his head, lips slowly forming into a smile. Last night, Jungkook had talked to him and the younger male felt his heart at ease now knowing that he and the taller are in good terms now.
"Oh," Seokjin blurted out which causes Jimin to look up at him confused, Seokjin is looking at him with amused expression, "What's that shy smile for?" He asked teasingly, Jimin felt his cheeks burning at the comment and shook his head.
"You're smiling because of Jungkook right?" Jimin's eyes widened and shook his head again.
"Namjoon told me the night you left Jungkook's place," Jimin pulled his brows together, "You and Jungkook are ex-lovers" A faint smile spread across Jimin's face.
"After knowing that from Namjoon, I came to realizes one thing." Jimin arched his brow at Seokjin and the other male gave him a playful smile.
"It was you all along." He added, Jimin frown deepened, "I don't think I should be talking about it but whatever." He tells the smaller male.
"What are you saying?" Jimin asked him.
"You are the person that Jungkook were talking about before." Jimin's heart beat suddenly increases in pace.
"T-talking a-about what?" He asked stammering with a low tone, Seokjin smiled widely at the younger male.
"Jungkook tend to share things when he's drunk." Seokjin's smile slowly turn into a sad one when he remembers how sad and hurt Jungkook while talking about it.
"I still remember the look on his face when he opens about it... He looks very sad, broken I must say and keep on saying if only he could turn back time, then there's no way he'll hurt that someone, which I assumed was you." Seokjin says as he gave Jimin a pointed look.
"When I asked him who that person is, he won't say the name but he always ended up describing him." Seokjin smiles as he remembers Jungkook's words and stares at Jimin deeply as he observes his features.
"Someone that has a pretty eyes that can't see anything when he laughs," Seokjin trailed off tone amused then he scooted closer and playfully boop Jimin's nose, "He has small button nose." He tells him before pulling away.
"He misses how that someone's brown eyes look at his way and how his plump lips would curve into a pretty smile."
"He misses how he fit perfectly in his arms, when he's holding him." He added which made Jimin's chest tightens.
"I missed you..." Jungkook told me while looking into my eyes deeply, "I missed you so much baby." He whispered audibly voice sincere which touches my heart.
"Don't you miss me too?" He asked me tone broken.
Jimin fisted his hands tightly before tearing his gaze away from Seokjin, he lowered down his head and bit his lower lip in annoyance.
"You don't play around with other's feelings like that." Jimin snapped tone harsh, Seokjin was caught off guard at his reaction.
"That's not what Jungkook told me." Jimin tells him before gazing back at the taller male eyes sad, "He told me... He told me that he didn't love me." Seokjin pulled his brows together in confusion, something is not right, he thought silently.
"I'm sure it's the opposite, Jimin." Seokjin says convincing the latter and Jimin looked up at him confused.
"Do you still remember the night we found you? When he wrapped his jacket around you or when he treated your wound when you stepped on a shattered glass? I do mean it when I said, Jungkook cares about you. I'm pretty sure you know that time, I know nothing about your past but I still said that because that's what I see." Jimin fell silent at the other's statement.
"Have you ever thought, maybe the reason why he said those hurtful things to you was his way to protect you from getting hurt again? I mean you don't anything from your past right? There must be a reason behind it, there's no way he would say that to you if there's none."
Then it hit him. Seokjin has a point.
"I'm Park Jimin and you are?"
I asked him but instead of answering his name,
"Just... someone... who isn't part of your life anymore."
He left me with so confusion.
The person who gave me the umbrella that night was Jungkook, I'm certain it was him but I fell with his lies when he denied everything to me.
Why I didn't realize that right from the start he's trying to hide something from me and cover everything with his lies?
"Do I know you before? I mean do we know each other before? I know it sounds weird but I think you were part of my past." I asked him.
"No. I'm pretty sure we don't know each other."
"Remember when we met months ago? You said you're someone who isn't part of my life anymore? How could you explain this to me?" I asked him again but he answered me with another lie,
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You and I had a relationship and I hurt you in the past, I ended our relationship and moved here to Seoul. Do you know why did I do it? Because I couldn't stand to be with you anymore..."
"I don't feel any guilt towards you. I don't regret hurting, because right from the start I didn't love you."
The reason why he's doing all of that because Jungkook wanted to protect me from getting hurt?
But...
"Don't you miss me too?" He asked me, silently begging for an answer that night. He looks so sad while looking deeply into my eyes, his longingness for me were painted all over his face...
What if...
It's my fault why we broke up before and the reason why he's avoiding me, giving me cold treatment not because he hate me but he doesn't want to get hurt again?
He worries about me.. He maybe makes me feel that he hates me but I can't still change the fact that he always ended up being there for me. Treating my wounds when I'm hurt, making sure that I'm okay all the time.
"I'm not saying good things about him because he's Namjoon's brother but I can really assure you that he's a good guy, Jimin."
"I bet past Jimin could relate." Seokjin joke, Jimin looked at him expression bothered.
"Tell me, what is Jungkook to you now." Seokjin asked tone serious, Jimin and the younger male was taken aback and sighs.
"Well, I'd lived for the past years without knowing him." Jimin paused for a moment biting his bottom lip before continuing, "He maybe confuses me and affects me in every way but I think that's it, no romantic feelings involve." He says tone low brows furrowing.
"Well it's normal for you to get affected by him since he's part of your past." Seokjin says back.
"Yeah, that's what I think." Jimin replied looking away, "Jimin-ah," Seokjin calls out the smaller male's name which caught Jimin's attention and gazes up at him.
"How about Jungkook's feelings for you? What if he's still loves you?" Jimin paused for a moment when the memory of him and Jungkook flashes inside his mind.
Jungkook nibbled my lower lip and slid his tongue between my lips, exploring my mouth, everything just felt so familiar and I couldn't help but to sigh in content at the familiar feeling and wrap my arms around his neck too overwhelmed, pulling him down, even more closer.
Jungkook pulled away and stared down deeply into my brown eyes, a smile appeared in his lips and brought his other hand to my face, tracing my eyebrow, down to my eyes, my cheek, caressing it softly and giving my nose a quick peck before he pulls away saying....
"I love you, Jimin."
Does Jungkook still love me? I know he's drunk that night but after what Seokjin had said to me, I can't help but to assume he is.
Seokjin smiled faintly... it's been over a year now since he and Namjoon broken up and that's also the last time Seokjin and his younger talked maybe things already change.
"I'm not saying he is okay? It's been over a year already since Jungkook and I last talked about that. Maybe he's over it now, I don't know." Jimin couldn't help but to feel slightly disappointed.
"But here's the thing what if one day, you find yourself falling for him, will you allow yourself to love him again?" Seokjin trailed off narrowing his eyes while looking at the smaller male, Jimin stares at the other male deeply, soft smile forming in his lips.
"Of course." Jimin answers right away, "My heart wants him why would I prevent myself from loving him?" He asked.
"How about your past?"
"When two people are destined to be together they always come to each other's arms no matter what happened in their past. The only thing that matters is their love for each other." Jimin stated.
"Yeah that's true." Seokjin mumbled tone sad, But that's not the case for me and Namjoon.
