Jinkook Exhibit

7.7 Jungkook, Be Mine!

"Do you still like him?" asked the taller man, exhale the smoke out of his lungs.

Seokjin smile, shaking his head. "I don't know.. But I was surprised to see him at the subway that day.. He haven't changed.. Still the same Jungkook I've known 10 years ago.."

"Yeah. He didn't. But you are. You've changed a lot. From the beast to the beauty."

"Tch. You are a jerk, Namjoon."

Both laughing. It's true, Seokjin has changed so much. From being short and face full of ugly pimples, he is now a perfect man which is chase by the supermodel and the heiress of a rich family, YN.

The girl been wanting his attention from when they were studied together in an University in The States, then continue until Seokjin came back to Korea.

Seokjin left the States silently without giving her any heads up but with all the connection she have, she easily gathered information to find him after three days he's in Korea. That was the same day he met Jungkook twice. At the subway and at the rooftop.

On day four, they met again; him and Jungkook, when the CEO introduced him as the new Creative Director for the company.

He's still surprised every time their eyes meets, but he eventually brushing away the old memories, not letting his feeling taking over his right mind.

At first, he thought Jungkook recognise him, especially when Jungkook became so red after meeting him in the train. But unknowingly Jungkook didn't even remember him.

He was anxious thinking Jungkook recognise him but then relief when Jungkook didn't. At least he don't have to reminiscing for his craziness chasing Jungkook when they were student.

"But, Joon, do you know, he looks sad.."

Namjoon nods, "Yeah. It's been a tough life for him.."

"Hm? What do you mean?" Seokjin focus all of his attention to his best friend Namjoon.

They became friends at the same place he met with YN. At that time, he was alone, didn't know how to make friends. He was used to be an outcast, and he's afraid the people around him will hated him like what he has experienced in Korea.

But Namjoon offered him a hand, became his friend. Surprisingly, Namjoon came from the same district with him. Not just that, they were actually from the same school, but different class. Namjoon recognised him the first time he saw him. And so they became close.

"His parents died a month after we left Korea. His house was completely burnt, leaving nothing behind. Since then, he live with his grandparents. But then, his grandfather died too. His grandmother was sick, until now. It's been 5 years, maybe, I'm not sure, she's at the hospital.."

"What? Why didn't- ah, nevermind. Why should I know, right? Of course halabeoji wouldn't let me know.. I think I will run back to Korea if I knew about his tough life.."

"Yeah, I think so too.. Haha.. You're so crazy in love with him back then. The whole school was in chaos because of you."

"Ugh.. Please, stop. Don't remind me of that.. I'm so embarrassed with myself." he laugh.

Ding!

"Hm? Wait.."

He threw the remaining cigarette butts to the ground and stepped to put out the fire. Then, he reached into his pocket and picked up his phone, checking the message he had just received.

His right eyebrow cock as he read the message.

"Who's that?"

"It's him.." he paused. "I've got to go.."

"Hm? Didn't you said he don't want you to pick him up?"

"Yeah. I don't know what change his mind."

"Alright. Just go. Save the damsel, bruh." Namjoon winks, grinning to his ears.

"Haha.. No thanks. I'm not here for love Joon. I have mission. I want to finish this job, I can't wait to go back to LA."

"Ha.. Are you not going to stay here?"

"No. You know I came here to help the company. They need me here. But I didn't intend to stay here forever. I love my job, not human."

"Whoa.. That's.. A bit extreme for me. Don't come crying at me later when you change your love to human."

"No. That's not gonna happen."

"Even with your 'prince'?"

"Even with Jungkook."

Namjoon nods. He knew Seokjin was hurt so bad in the past, that's making him abandoned the love that he once willing to die for.

"Let's meet later." Said Seokjin, walking back to his car.

Namjoon follow, stopping Seokjin when he's about to shut the door.

"Don't let one bad memory prevent you from making more good ones. Allow yourself to hope, to believe, to trust and to love again-"

"Stop reading quotes, Joon. I'm leaving."
