"Do you hear me..?? Jungkook-ah..??"
Hoseok tapped Jungkook's shoulder when he didn't get any response from the frozen Jungkook.

"Uh..?? Even I don't know.." Jungkook covered his face with his palms.

"So... you went to meet him today..??"

"Yeah", Jungkook nodded.

"Then you mean... you even cancel the meeting just to meet him..?? So... do you like him or not..??" Hoseok asked again making Jungkook to look at him with questioning looks.
"I'm sure you were jealous when you saw him with another person who's more close to him... right..??

"I didn't get jealous... I was... just..." Jungkook sighed.

"You were", Hoseok raised his eyebrows, "So.... you--"

"So let's think about what shall we do make this project happen once again. I don't want to disappoint my father this time, Hyung. So.. let's just get to work".
Jungkook cut off Hoseok by changing the topic.

"Ah.. ok..." Hoseok put his thump up and nodded with a sigh to which he assumed that Jungkook wasn't ready to tell about it.
"But you can really tell me about it whenever you want to.. ok?"
Hoseok smiled when Jungkook smiled and nodded his head.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two had been trying every possible way to contact Mr. Park since the day before but all of their effort had gone on vain. Plus, Jungkook thought his father might have calm a bit down by the time but he didn't even spoke a single word to him and that's what Jungkook was worried even more.

"So... what shall we do now", Hoseok put his phone on the table and sat down on the couch turning to Jungkook who was sitting next to him, still on his deep thoughts.

"Let's go to his house", Jungkook suddenly stood up.

"What..?? What will you do at this house? Don't tell me you're gonna blackmail him", Hoseok shouted with his eyes wide upen earning an annoyed sigh from Jungkook who rolled his eyes.

"No... I'm going to murder him."

"No way..!! Jungkook-ah... don't do such things. You're still young and I can't see you going to jail."

"You can't... because I'm going to take you with me. Do you think I'll ever leave you alone..?"

"Yah..!! I can't go to jail now. I haven't even dated with anyone yet", Hoseok shouted while running behind Jungkook who already went out of the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Both of them took a deep breath before ringing the door bell.
They were already standing in front of Mr. Park's house. The house was huge with a giant gate with 5 security personals guarding it to which both of them managed to enter with so many reasons and pleadings.

"Ok... Let's do this"

"Wait... What did you bring here Jungkook? A knife? Or a gun? Don't forget to wear gloves or else--", Hoseok was cut off by a dead glare from Jungkook. He tried to put up a serious face and look forward clearing his throat while his hands fixed his collar, "Ok... Let's be serious."

Jungkook took a deep breath and press the door bell button.

"Yes, how can I help you sir?" A lady maid opened the door.

"Ah... is Mr. Park in home? Can we meet him please..?"

"Do you have any prior appointment? Or else master wont allow people to meet him."

"We don't actually have it but the thing is---"

"Uh... Jungkook..??" A voice called Jungkook's name from inside. "Hey, how did you find my house?"

"Jimin..?? Is this your--"

"Yes of course", Jimin came out towards the door and turned to the maid, "They're my friends. It's ok, you can go inside and make something for them".

"Come inside. Don't be hesitated ok...? Have a seat here", Jimin invited both of them to the couch in the huge drawing room filled with decorating ornaments that made the room look even more attractive.

"So... Why are you here?" Jimin said as he sat down on a smaller couch next to theirs.

"Actually, we came to meet Mr. Park."

"You mean my father? I thought you came to meet me."

"Father?? Wait... are you--"

"I'm Mr. Park's son Jungkook"

"I've heard that his son is in abroad but didn't expected you would be his son."

"Why is that then? Do I look too different with my father?"

"It's not like that... I mean..."

"It's ok Jungkook. I was just joking around. So... why did you wanted to meet my father? He's in his room working on some papers and he don't like disturbances in the middle of his work. So... you can't meet him now."

After Jungkook narrated about his rejected project, "Then... 2 days back means was it when we two met at the shop right? The day I came back to Seoul?" Jimin said after recalling about the day.

"Wait... Jungkook-ah... was he the person you were talking about earlier?" Hoseok suddenly spoke up after being silent for the whole conversation.

Jungkook was so done with his friend that he gave him a dead glare and mouthed a "Shut up" on him.

"Wait... what? What person? Me..??" Jimin pointed his index finger to himself with a confused look.

"No no... it's nothing. So... what we need to do to make him agree to make this project happen again?" Jungkook changed the topic quickly.

"Well..." Jimin sighed, "What about I try to convince him by myself..?"

"What? You?"

"Yes... so don't worry. I'll surely help you."

"Really? But--"

"Jungkook, do you remember my promise to pay you back for helping me back in the academy with my projects when I was almost get suspended for not completing within the given time? I'll pay you back now with this. At least you can give me a chance to help you this time."

"It was nothing compare to this but thank you so much... I'm... I'm..."

"Oh-ho-ho... it's ok."

______________________________

Jungkook came out from the house after thanking Jimin for countless times with Hoseok slowly following him behind who was still in his thoughts of Jimin being the person whom Jungkook was talking about. Jungkook turned his head back to see Hoseok with a serious face.
"Yah! Why are you so slow? We are getting la---", Jungkook bumped into a soft body that instantly fell down on the hard ground.

"Oh.. I'm so sor---", Jungkook frozed when he turned his head.

A small frame with slight abrasion over his palm, elbow and knees looked up with teary eyes which widden with surprise after seeing Jungkook.
"Jeon Jungkook-ssi?"

"A-are you ok? Did I hurt you? I'm sor---"

"Taehyungie...!! Omo... Are you alright...?? Did you hurt anywhere..??"

Jungkook was about to help Taehyung to get up from the ground by lending his hand out but Jimin was fast enough to run towards Taehyung and kneeled down hugging his fragile body tightly who hugged him back with a smile.

"Jiminie... I'm ok."

"You're not... see... your hand is hurt', Jimin let go of the hug and hold Taehyung's hand slowly patting it with his thumb.

"I'm ok Jiminie... but... this is not ok", Taehyung pointed at his broken bracelet pieces that were scattering at the ground with a pout. "I broke your gift, sorry."

"Aigoo... it's ok... I'll give you another."

"But---"

"No buts. Now let's go inside. I'll put some ointment for you ok..." Jimin helped Taehyung to get up by holding his arms carefully.

Jungkook was watching the whole scene. Deep in the corner of his heart, he really wanted to be in Jimin's place so badly. He wanted to comfort him and take care of him like Jimin did. He wanted Taehyung to be soft and friendly towards him. Of course Taehyung is friendly with everyone, but Jungkook wanted him to be like the way when he's with Jimin... or may be more than that.

"Im sorry", Jungkook finally apologized when Jimin helped Taehyung to get up.

"It's ok Jeon Jungkook-ssi. I'm not hurt anyway", Taehyung smiled at him as Jungkook watched him going inside the house with Jimin's hands holding him by the arms to which he felt like a knife just stabbed him on his heart.
He saw Taehyung smiling at Jimin fondly as Jimin's fingers pinched taehyung's nose playfully while cracking some jokes. Taehyung looked so comfortable around Jimin and that's what Jungkook wished Taehyung to be with him.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

"You should be more careful Taehyungie", Jimin said as he put ointment to Taehyung's hand carefully.

"Ok ok...", Taehyung nodded his head cutely with a smile to which Jimin ruffled his hair softly.

"But... what was he doing here..?" Taehyung suddenly asked.

"Who... Jungkook? Ah.. he came to talk my father."

"Your father? But why?"

"Ah... he missed one meeting with my father that day while he was in your shop. But you already know my father right? He cancelled their project and Jungkook's father was angry and not talking to him it seems. So he wanted to convince my father again.."

"What..? That day? But he said he didn't have any--- It's my fault."

"Yah! Now why is it your fault again?" Jimin kept the first aid box on the table and caressed Taehyung's face.

"It is, Jiminie. I shouldn't have called him at the first place."

"Taehyungie... how many times should I tell you not to blame yourself for everything...? It has nothing to do with you."

"But--"

"I already told him that I'll help him by convincing to my father by myself.. ok..?? I know my father will never say no to me. So it'll be ok. Everything will be fine. Now let's play some games... I miss playing with you."
Jimin tried to calm Taehyung and cheer him up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jungkook threw himself on his bed. His mind was having a mixed feeling which he couldn't ruled out.
He looked up at the white ceiling of his room. His mind recalled himself being all clumsy to bumped into Taehyung and hurt him by making him stumbled on the ground which was too hard for the soft fragile body that Jimin hugged before he could even help him to get up.

His thoughts were cut off by a call. He groaned before grabbing his phone from the side table but sit up straight suddenly when he saw the person who was calling him.
He took a deep breath and picked up the call.

"Jeon Jungkook-ssi..? Are you free? I'm really sorry to disturb you at this hour but... i wanted to tell you something... I'm really sorr---"

"Can I meet You now?"
