Lunch Time! (TAEKOOK)

Chapter 24

I miss him.

"Jungkook-ah? Can I come in?" I heard Jimin's voice as he peeked a little from behind the door.

"Yes, Jimin hyung." I replied as I discarded the unwanted papers from my table.

"You didn't talk to us yesterday night but now I am running out of patience. Tell me you made up with him." Jimin said with raised eyebrows.

"No I didn't." I replied with a shrug.

"But why? You guys had a talk in the kitchen! Did he argue again? Did he say something which he didn't mean again? He can be immature sometimes, Jungkook-ah. Don't fall for every word that leaves his mo---"

"He said he loves me. Should I not believe that?" I asked with raised eyebrows.

God, I miss him so much and it's not even 24 hours.

"What? WHAT!? HE SAID HE LOVES YOU AND YOU BOTH ARE STILL NOT TOGETHER?" Jimin yelled in front of me.

"Yes we're still not together because I don't want to give in so easily. It makes me look as if I am an easy person." I said, focusing on the files placed on the table.

"Jungkook-ah! It's Taehyung and you know how sensitive he can get right? Also, I thought you were determined yesterday to make up with him?" Jimin asked as his eyebrows knitted together.

"Yes but then I saw him hugging Hoseok and I could feel my insides burning with rage and fury when he uttered those three magical words and even said he missed him." I said poking my inner cheeks with my tongue.

I need to get that picture out of my head.

"My brother-in-law is an idiot." Jimin mumbled to himself.

"I heard that." I said crossing my arms on my chest.

"You should. Jungkook-ah, just let it go, you know how much he needs you. If you break up with him, as far as I know him, he will cry and not even get out of his house for days." Jimin said as worry laced his expression.

"No, Jimin hyung. Yesterday, I would have given in thinking about this exact thing but then he told me he will keep pestering me, bothering me, annoying me. He won't give up and that somewhat made me feel that this time Kim Taehyung won't shut himself out and hide due to depression and fear. I saw another version of him. The version which is stronger, determined, encouraged and knows how to fight for his own possession and his rights. He won't let go this time because he will be facing his fears, working towards it and fighting against it. He will be fighting for me, for us and that's exactly what I want to see him doing." I explained with a small smile playing on my lips.

Jimin hyung gasped at my reply.

"That means---wait, that means---" 

"Yes, I already forgave him, right when he confessed his love for me but doing this is needed and important. He needs to learn to face his fears and work towards it. He cannot always give in to his emotions." I said with a smile.

"Oh God! And he would only fight and be fearless because he loves you! He is determined to not let go. So, even though you were jealous yesterday, you would have made up with him but you didn't purposely. You were pretending to be still angry with him?" Jimin asked with his eyes going wide.

"I told him that I will heal him. Just maybe my way and technique is a bit different." I said with a small chuckle.

"God! I can't help but support you now because it's for his own good." Jimin replied smiling.

"Yes and if I am not wrong, he should be here any moment from now." I said glancing at my wrist watch.

And just on cue my door was opened with a loud noise.
