Chapter Forty Seven

Third Person's POV

Jimin is sitting on the bed as he overthink about Hoseok telling Namjoon what he had saw. The door slides open and Jimin looked at the person standing in the doorway.

"Let's go." Hoseok says and Jimin stared at him confused him. "I told Namjoon you are coming with me to check the flowers here in Ilsan." That made the younger confuse despite that Jimin walked over him. When he was close enough, Hoseok held his wrist and yank him outside.


Jimin follows him silently inside the car. They are both seated in the front seat, he kept on looking at the older with the same expression.

"Relax," Hoseok says, "Jungkook asked me to bring you to hospital to get your hand check, and to avoid suspicions he stayed with Namjoon's parents." He said.

"He didn't have to." Jimin whispers. Hoseok laughs. "That kid is worried about you, let him be." He explains.


Jimin chose to stay silent till they reached the Hospital. They headed straight to the Emergency room. They acted really quickly and the Doctor examined his hand. He only advised the Nurse to stitch the cut. Jimin was third in line as they have patients to assist before him.


"Excuse me." Hoseok tells him and then he left, while Jimin sitting in front of the Minor OR, waiting for his turn.

Hoseok came back but the first patient still inside. Hoseok tap the younger's shoulder to get his attention. Jimin looked at him expectantly.

"Jungkook called, I think he's planning to get in here." Jimin left speechless, he's astonished yet he pretended it didn't affect him. Jimin force himself to keep the happiness he is feeling now within himself.

"He didn't have to." Jimin said.

"I told him that myself but you know words aren't enough to stop him." At this, Jimin smiled at the older.

"I'll go and get you food." Jimin nodded. He watched as the older walked away, Jimin cannot stop himself from grinning. Even the nurses, the patients close to him notices that.

The first patient inside the Minor OR finally walked outside, the second patient went in. It took 15 minutes before the 3rd patient entered the Minor OR.

Ten minutes had passed, the patient was still inside. It was a kid, the poor kid's cries echoed across the room. He must be terrified. It was the parents fault why the kid is here, they want babies yet can't even properly take care of them.


"Park Jimin-ssi?" Jimin looked at the Nurse and there he saw Jungkook standing behind her. God damnit, he looked breathtaking. He was wearing a black leader jacket, with a black cap.

"Someone's looking for you." The Nurse informed him and left, Jungkook move his head to the side and smiled at him.

"Hey." Jimin had his mouth shut. He forgot how to talk. He was really mesmerized at Jungkook's visual, why does he look so attractive? He's lost for words.

"Hyung?"

"J-- Jungkook." Jimin stuttered. Jungkook walked towards him and stood in front. He cupped both of the smaller's cheeks, delicately. "Nervous?" Jimin couldn't talk for some reason.

"Do you want me to accompany you inside?" Jungkook asked him worriedly but Jimin kept silent. He is internally scolding himself for that.

"Alright, I'll be with you." He says chuckling, squeezing Jimin's cheeks before letting go. Jungkook sat down beside him, their arms were touching each other.

The third patient steps outside and the nurse politely motioned Jimin to get inside. Jungkook then spoke behind him.

"Can I accompany the patient?" Jungkook asked and the Nurse smiled. "Of course, you can accompany your partner." The Nurse said carelessly, neither of them reacted.

She then asked Jimin to sit and rest his arm with his palm up.

"First I need to inject the anesthesia to get this area right here numb." She explained and Jimin looked concern especially when he saw the syringe. Jungkook is literally beside him but it didn't help to ease his worries.

The Nurse is in the process of pointing the needle on Jimin's skin when the smaller male felt his other hand being held by the younger and squeezed it. Jimin stared down at his and Jungkook's interlaced hand and he was starstruck as he saw the bracelet he gave the latter. He was wearing the bracelet Jimin gave him.

No way!

"Shit!" Jimin cursed when she pushed the needle.

They both step outside the Minor OR with their hands interlaced. Hoseok was outside, holding a plastic bag that Jimin assumed contains the food he bought for them.

They reached the Kim's residence peacefully without any drama. The couple had asked them to eat dinner together and left Jimin with no choice. He is sitting beside Namjoon they were facing Jungkook on the other side.

Jimin and Jungkook are both avoiding meeting each other's eyes though they constantly caught either of them staring. Here's a thing Hoseok is constantly looking at Jimin as well, Jimin doesn't know what inside his mind, but he doesn't look suspicious to him.

"Jimin are you feeling well?" Mrs. Kim asked. Jimin nods his head at her and they shared a smile, quickly he shifted his gaze back to his food.

"Go ahead, eat, don't be shy. You're part of the family you should get use to this." with that being said Jimin's face fell down.

"When are you going to make it official? So that we could move forward and talk about your marriage." Mr. Kim joked and they all laugh, Jimin stayed silent giving them an awkward smile while Jungkook had his eyes on the smaller, he doesn't look please either.

"Dad, stop." Namjoon says chuckling.

"Uncle you're pressuring Jimin." Yoongi blurted as well but in a teasing manner.

After they had eaten their dinner they finally headed to the Upper House. Jungkook and the rest were walking ahead while Jimin and Namjoon were behind them.


"You can use my room." Namjoon said in between, Jimin didn't utter a word. "I'm serious." He stresses out.


"I'm more comfortable in the Upper House." Jimin answers and with that Namjoon fell silent.


As they stepped inside, Hoseok turned to look at Namjoon.


"Oh, I remember you had this mini theater in here, right?" Hoseok asked.

"Ah, yeah."

"Let's watch a movie, then?" They all agreed with Hoseok and turned to look at the smaller male silently asking if he's in.


"I'm in but I'll wash up first. Excuse me." The smaller male excused himself and left.


Jimin dried his hair with one hand, did his skin care routine and wrap it up with spraying perfume to himself. On the other side, Hoseok was debating if he should call Jimin out. Sighing he breaks into Jimin's room and sees him on the bed sitting prettily.

"Jimin-ah?" Hoseok calls out, the younger looked at him expectantly.


"Yeah, I'll go in a bit." Jimin replied and Hoseok only gave him a smile, the younger sighs and follows him.


Jimin walked in and sees Jungkook sitting behind Namajoon and thankfully Namjoon was too stunned watching the movie to notice his presence. The two shared a smile before looking away.

Namjoon sees him and tap the empty seat beside him. Jimin moved beside him despite of wanting to sit beside the younger male. Jimin didn't realize that Hoseok were beside him the first time he locked eyes with Jungkook, Hoseok then sat down beside Jimin.


Namjoon took the younger's hand carelessly and Jimin pulled his hand back, He turned to look at the other side after rejecting Namjoon and sees Hoseok staring at him. Jimin sighs and stared at the screen instead.

The next morning, Mr. Kim brought Namjoon with him to their construction site while Mrs. Kim was too busy watering her plants. The rest were still inside the Upper House, in the Kitchen to be exact, sipping their coffee and Jimin stayed inside his room.


"I hate to say this, but I feel like, it's one-sided." Hoseok breaks the silence and Yoongi frowned. Jungkook had this neutral expression on his face, sipping his coffee though he is also intrigued to what Hoseok was about to say.


"What?" Yoongi asked completely taken aback, "You're talking about Namjoon and Jimin? Don't even joke about it, Jimin is the first guy he brought here to meet his parents. Do you think he'll bring him along if he's not sure about Jimin's feeling? He won't embarrass himself." Yoongi pointed out and Hoseok shrugged his shoulders.

"I could see it, Jimin is not comfortable around Namjoon." He points out.

"Do you think Jimin would agree going in here if he doesn't like Namjoon as you claimed?" Yoongi challenges him.

"That's the confusing part how did he made Jimin agree into this!" Yoongi laughed at him.

"Drop it," Yoongi spat, "We're not even sure if he's really interested to him. Namjoon had a girlfriend while crushing on Jimin." He added sipping his coffee.

"They broke up because he likes Jimin." Hoseok replied and Yoongi shook his head in disappointment, "He wasted a year relationship." Hoseok smirked.

"They say if you're already taken and you fell in love with someone else, choose the second one because you won't catch a feeling to other person if you're really inlove with the first one." Hoseok stated and that made Jungkook stop.

"It was a long distance relationship so don't dare to leave that part. Jimin fills the emptiness Namjoon felt at that time being away with his girlfriend." Yoongi tells him.


"I guess you forgot the part that it was actually a mutual break up and it took five months after the break up before Namjoon and Jimin finally interacted with one another. I felt the need to tell you this because you are pushing this narrative that Jimin was only here to fill the shit you are saying and that Namjoon would probably go back to his ex later." Hoseok said somehow getting annoyed.


"I don't care what you think but you can't change mine, they dont have the same feeling for each other." He added, he sounds so confident claiming it, Yoongi rolled his eyes.


"Suit yourself, fool." Hoseok didn't say anything back to him and that made him feel he won this argument.


"Why aren't you saying anything, Jungkook-ah?" Yoongi asked the younger male, Jungkook only shake his head, Yoongi raises a brow.

"How about you, then?" He asked confusing the younger male, Yoongi chuckles.

"I'm talking about your girlfriend. Is she still the one?" Yoongi asked him tone laced with curiosity, Hoseok perks up and Jungkook fell silent upon hearing that, and for the first time in 3 years he finds it difficult to answer that. He was having an inner conflict, deep in his thoughts.


"You're being hesitant right now." Hoseok cuts in and smiled, "If someone took her place in your heart then choose that someone you fell in love with." Hoseok advices as if he knew Jungkook more than himself, "Don't think about how long you've been together and use that as an excuse to stay, it doesn't matter. Your feelings had already changed." Hoseok continued, Jungkook on the other hand still unable to speak for himself, Yoongi groans.


"You're an ass, Hoseok. Jungkook-ah, you're in a long distance relationship that explains your hesitancy and let me tell you it's pretty common but once you go back, be with her you'll realize things hasn't change. She is not your girlfriend for 3 years just for nothing." Yoongi says ending it with a smile because he knows he's right, Jungkook averted his gaze.


Hoseok realizes Jimin is in the same as them hence he gave them a warning look to stop talking. Jimin is standing in his door way, hair messy, wearing an oversized top that you could mistake that it was one of Jungkook's shirt that he stolen from the younger's closet. He looked very lost.

"Jimin-ah, are you still daydreaming?" Yoongi asked jokingly and Jimin want to laugh at him, they acted so naturally as if they weren't talking about him just awhile ago. After what Jungkook had done to him he find it hard to trust people again.


He looked back at the younger male and he was still lost in his thought that he didn't even notice his presence in this room. The two had asked him if he wants to eat but he denied it very quickly and told them he only wants to get a glass of water because he has a dry throat.


Hoseok helped him, worrying over his stitched right hand. He thanked him and finally Jungkook recognizes his presence when Hoseok insisted him to sit down. He is seat across form the younger male.


"Do you want a coffee?" He asked him using a tone that you would only use to your significant other, if people around them didn't know their real score they would probably think they are a couple again. Hoseok smiled sheepishly looking at the two of them.


"Oh, I was really curious about this, why are you being distant whenever Namjoon is present?" Hoseok asked looking back and forth at the two suspiciously.


"It made me question too, I still remember clearly when Namjoon heard Jimin visited Hoseok's house he was fuming in anger not to the both of us but Jungkook, I mean I'm the one who invited Jimin over?" Yoongi says crackling up and Hoseok joins, Jungkook smiled as well.

"Seriously," Hoseok says holding his laugh, "Luckily Jungkook weren't with us that moment, Namjoon would've punch him right on the face. Can you guys atleast explain to us what was happening? I'm sure Namjoon wouldn't act like that for no reason at all. Enlighten us." Hoseok pleaded, asking for the tea.


"He's just protecting Jimin-hyung from me." To say Jimin is surprise is understatement.


"Ah— okay, I think I get it now. So, you are saying it's not just misunderstanding but you actually hurt Jimin?"

"There was drama goin' on and we missed that?" Yoongi asked amused.


"Why did you do that, Jungkook-ah?" Hoseok asked disappointed about Jungkook's betrayal.


"No please, don't misunderstand. Don't take it out on Jungkook. I have a mistake too." Jimin interrupted, defensing Jungkook. He looked at the younger silently assuring him it was all okay, Jungkook appreciate that and smiled back.


"Don't defend him just because you are friends." He wasn't serious, he's now playing around. Jungkook stood up and went to make Jimin a coffee.

"Okay but why do you still act like you hate each other—"


"I clearly asked, distant whenever Namjoon is present Yoongi not hate oh my god, you're trying to add some drama in here."


"Same thing."


"Actually, not even close."

"Why does it appears you guys are fooling, Namjoon? I mean you already patch up everything so why the need to act still? I don't think Namjoon should get himself involve further." Yoongi sounded concern.

"It's complicated. Not that easy." Jimin whispers, Hoseok glared at Yoongi.


"Fine, fine. Let's all pretend then. Y'all dramatic." Yoongi says disliking the idea but doing it anyway. He glared at Jungkook who's approaching Jimin.


"Drink this." Jungkook said, again with the same tone, the smaller male is enjoying himself. "it's hot, careful." Jimin looked up, smiled at him cutely.



"I could see Namjoon is coming guys." Hoseok said quietly alerting them.


"Hey, morning." He greets and gave Jimin a morning kiss on his cheek.


Jungkook was staring, face emotionless. Jimin clenched his fist, and didn't say anything back.

"We're going back to Seoul, get your stuff ready." Namjoon said tapping the smaller's shoulder. He then looked at his friends acknowledge their presence and purposely ignoring Jungkook, he left shortly.

Jimin stood up and left leaving the coffee Jungkook had made, the younger male stare at it for a moment.

Hoseok stare at Yoongi as if he just prove his point but Yoongi misses, "See." He says.


"Shut up dumbass, you need to stop this. I couldn't see it.." He bark.


The two starts bickering again while Jungkook had his eyes on Jimin's room.
