Chapter 48


Seon swallowed her saliva with difficulty as she found herself standing in front of Jimin, his eyes staring at her wide for he was utterly surprised by Jungkook's actions. 

"Jungkook, what are you saying now, why are you placing people in an awkward position." You intervened as you walked over to his side and pulled on his arm so he would let go of Seon's forearm.  

"Why would they be awkward or shy, she's his girlfriend. After all, in order for my brother to heal faster, he needs love and affection." He insisted as his gaze remained on the couple, looking determined to see them kiss right that instant. 

"Don't worry, she loves me enough already, she doesn't need to kiss me." Jimin tried to change his mind with a smile on his face, but unfortunately Jungkook's gaze darkened in response.

"You all look so weird, as if you don't want to kiss. And why would a couple in love resist so much for a simple kiss? Unless of course there is something I don't know or you have lied to me about something." Jungkook's words brought a chill to the atmosphere as a cold sweat bathed them all realizing that he was quite suspicious and this was threatening as they could not let him know because the doctor had warned that a sudden recollection of memories or whatever was to be shocking for him could have an unexpected effect on the patient.

"Of course nothing is wrong, just usually Seon is shy to express her love in front of others." Jimin replied, laughing a little ostensibly, pretending that Jungkook's words had seemed funny to him.

He reached out and grabbed Seon's wrist, bringing her to seat at his side on the couch then he looked into her eyes before he leaned in and captured her lips softly and simply, giving Jungkook what he was obsessed to get, while his heart was beating inside like a drum full of fear. A rhythm that was matching her heart as she grew pale at the action.  

You immediately turned your head away from the spectacle, still not accustomed to seeing them together and not completely forgetting the moment you had found them in bed and Jungkook just smiled at the sight, pretending to be content with what was happening, although this was not true, because the only reason he had done all this scene was to see his wife's reaction and now that he saw you looking away, he grew to be more anxious than he had been before.

Because now his head was filled with suspicions about the relationship between his wife - You- and his brother.

"There, he kissed her now so he will heal quickly. I hope you are satisfied, now let's get to the table and eat." You said, before grabbing Seon by the hand and pulling her back into the kitchen.

You looked at her friend who was completely pale and reasonably so as she had never imagined that her husband would force her to kiss his brother and enjoy the spectacle on top of that. It was crazy just thinking about it yet it had just happened.

"What the fuck just happened ?!" She murmured softly as she shook your shoulders, now clearly showing her psychological state which was not at its best.

"With this particular Jungkook, it seems we will live to see many unexpected things. God may be with us, I seriously don't know what else to say," You told her before taking her in your arms to reassure her because you could see when your friend was on the verge of a panic attack.

You and Jungkook had around ten minutes that you had taken your leave and Seon was alone in the kitchen, having just finished washing the dishes.

She wiped her hands on the small cloth before letting a breath escape from her lips, her mind still wandering around the events that happened before.

For some reason, the touch from Jimin's lips to hers had yet to go away with the whisper of apology he uttered to her after he broke the kiss, knowing full well that she was forced to do so.

But that was also Seon's problem when it came to Jimin. She was not really forced to do anything with him but at his own touch, she always found herself more vulnerable than she had ever imagined and honestly she didn't understand the reason.

She was sure she loved Jungkook until she got involved with him and now she is just a mess, having doubts about herself, her actions, her wants and her feelings.

"Seon~" Jimin's voice that called her, took her out of the flow of her thoughts, making her head to his room, where she found him where you and Jubgkook had helped him return after dinner, in bed.

"I would like to sleep. Can you bring me some of my pajamas to change, please. It's on the second shelf on the right." Jimin guided her and she did what he asked her to do without thinking, bringing him a set of pyjamas.

"Here." She said monotonously before turning to leave, only to stop again from his voice.

"Emm. Can you take off my shirt too, please? It hurts when I lift my arms too high." He asked her, obviously awkward over the fact that he had asked her something like that but honestly, it was painful for him to do it alone.

Seon looked at him for a moment in disbelief as she had learned not to trust him too much but since he was in such a situation it is impossible for him to make any move.

She approached him reluctantly and slowly and carefully lifted his shirt and arms one by one until she removed the shirt. An action that brought her face to face with his tanned skin that was showing here and there in between some gauze that was wrapped around his ribs.

At that moment the truth was that her heart ached to see him like that but she did not show it at all to him, as she remained expressionless.

"I guess you take off your pants yourself." She told him, her voice as sharp and cold as her gaze and Jimin just nodded and thanked her as she turned to leave the room.

A little 'good night' reached Seon's ears as she was on the doorstep of his room and she just closed the door behind her, pretending not to hear him.

--- Time skip ---

Jungkook and you had just entered the apartment. You put your shoes aside before going further into the living room, with Jungkook standing behind you, worryingly silent, as he was been all the ride back home. 

The truth was that you still hadn't grasped the reason for that and what exactly had been that had ticked him off this time since while you had been in Jimin's apartment and during dinner, he had appeared fine.  

You were about to ask him if anything was going on with him, however, your cell phone went off right as you were taking off your coat, making you put it aside as quickly as possible in order to attend the call. 

Upon seeing who was calling you, you responded immediately with concern.

"Jimin? Is everything  alright?"You questioned as you walked passed by the couch, forgetting Jungkook's presence in the room.

"Yes, all is well ... Just ... I can't sleep alone." He admitted from the other side of the line, looking at the ceiling of his room, where he was alone in the dark.

You looked at Jungkook for a moment as you listened to Jimin's answer and then acted accordingly as you started walking away to the bathroom.

"Oh, it's you Seon. Yes yes, we arrived just fine, do not worry." You started uttering some lies until you entered the bathroom and closed the door behind you.

"And what am I supposed to do about that now? Do you want me to sing you a lullaby?!" You whispered on the line full of sarcasm, clearly irritated a little with what he was saying since it was something you couldn't solve given the situation and where you were. 

"No, but you know how I become when I'm sick. I need someone to hold my hand and give me their attention." You heard Jimin's complaining voice from the other line, knowing how much a child he tends to become when he is sick.

"Just ask Seon to hold your hand until you go to sleep then," You told him although you weren't sure if your advice would be accepted by your friend.

"Don't make fun of me Y/N. We both know that this won't happen. Ahhh~ I miss your body sleeping next to me" He replied, making you crack up thinking about the amount of loneliness that must have hit him hard.

"Anyways stop whining and listen to me, Jimin. All I can do is keep you company via video calling until you go to bed if you want because we both know I can't leave Jungkook and come to sleep in your bed just because you are used to having a body beside you on the bed. "You told him, thinking of sleeping in the guest room where it would be easy for you to video chat with him until he drifts to sleep. 

"You're the most amazing best friend one can have." Jimin's words reached your ears, making you smile a little.

"All right, shut up now, I'll call back soon." You told him before ending the call, still laughing to yourself at the childish behavior of the half-asleep Jimin.

You opened the bathroom door still with that smile, which froze on your lips as you came face to face with Jungkook who appeared to be standing behind the door.

My God, don't tell me he was eavesdropping!
