Complexities (Jikook) PAUSED

Updateeee , my loves! 💕💋

It was lunch time when Jimin found free time to talk to Yoongi and Hoseok. He went to Yoongi's cabin and sat with him.
"Hi, we hardly see you! Where are you these days?" Hoseok hugged him.
"Sorry, hyung. I just leave for home after work. I get tired." Jimin said softly.
The three of them began eating.

Hoseok asked Yoongi if he wanted a piece of meat when he saw he had finished his. He gave him one from his meal. Yoongi smiled ate half of it and fed it to Hoseok. They beamed at each other, and Yoongi stole a kiss from his husband.
"Ew! My mouth was full of food." Hoseok laughed.
"Even better." Yoongi teased him. Jimin smiled sadly as he looked down at his food. He wasn't even eating properly.

"Hyung." He said timidly.
"Yeah?" the both of them responded.
"You guys have been married for about 9 years now." Jimin said, and the couple nodded.
"So.. Is it normal to... Hit stagnation at some point?" Jimin sighed, defeated.

"Oh no. What's wrong?" Hoseok held his hand.
"Nothing.. We just... Jungkook and i haven't been talking since his company started doing well this year. He's always so busy that.. I barely see him. And when I do, he's working." Jimin explained, his tone was pained and so eager. As if he had been waiting to say this for a long time.

"So tell him to stop and talk to him." Yoongi said strongly. He was just like a protective brother to Jimin.
"It's not that simple, hyung. I know work means a lot to him. It's a big part of who he is, but I'm just.. Feeling a little alone." Jimin was in tears.
"You do wanna stay with him, right?" Yoongi asked and Hoseok pursed his lips. Yoongi's word could seem too direct and harsh but he was the only one who could get Jimin to answer honestly.

"Of course, I do. I love him so much." Jimin didn't even take a second to answer, he wasn't defensive, just honest. The couple smiled sadly, because they had seen Jungkook and Jimin grow together. They would have never thought that the lovebirds would ever have issues.
"Look. Communication is key. For all relationships, but even moreso when it comes to marriage and family. Because we expect so much from each other, there's a lot of trust and involved, so I get it. But if a relationship is going sour, talk it out if it can be worked on. You understand what I'm saying, right..? "Hoseok said sadly.

"Yeah. I do.." A tear fell from Jimin's eye.
"I don't want to lose him, but I can't stay like this. I..." Jimin sobbed. Hoseok got up and hugged him and Yoongi closed the blinds in his cabin. And massaged Jimin's shoulders.
"We've got you. And he loves you, okay? Talk to him. You guys are too much in love to be this sad, Jimin." Hoseok comforted him and Jimin nodded. He looked at his watch and it was time to go back to work.

When Jimin reached his cabin he called Jungkook, he wanted to sob to his husband. He needed him so much right now.
"Hi, you've reached Jeon Jungkook. I'm busy right now. Leave me a message." said Jungkook's voice. He closed his eyes and shook his head as he now felt irritated, angry, defeated, and neglected as well as selfish. This was the most he had heard of his husband's voice in a while.

On the other hand Jungkook was talking to Taehyung, Namjoon and Jin. They were all very close to him and had known them both for years as well.
"You okay?" Taehyung asked as he ate and Jin and Namjoon looked at him too.
"Yeah, it's just.. Hyung.. Jimin isn't doing too well." He said softly.
"What do you mean?" Jin asked worried.
"He.. He seems to be very lost. I've been working so much, that I just don't have the time and I.. I don't want to intrude suddenly." Jungkook said.
"Intrude? He's your husband. Talk to him." Namjoon said strongly.

Jungkook wasn't too good at expressing his feelings. He would either be very emotional or just tend be quiet while Jimin was the polar opposite of him. That's why together they seemed to make one awesome person. But now that Jimin was pulling away, Jungkook was getting anxious.
"Look, Joonie and I have been married for over a decade. Marriage takes work. It really does. When you live with someone, love, work, do everything around them, it can take a toll. But when you're too far apart, even that will take a toll. For all relationships, balance is the key. And commutation is the way. " Jin explained and Jungkook sighed.

"Yeah. I agree." Taehyung looked down and Jungkook patted his back. Taehyung had gotten divorced a few years ago, and he never truly opened up about why, all he said was that the communication no longer existed between them.

Jungkook breathed out anxiously, he didn't want his marriage to fall apart. But work was important, he needed to grow in order to give his loved ones the family they deserved. He wanted to be someone Jimin was proud to call his husband. He wanted to be accomplished, he feared failure. This was a little bit of a "problem" he seemed to have, Jungkook was very competitive. Not in a bad way for others, he wouldn't be malicious towards anyone but he'd work so hard that he'd forget what is happening around him and even to him!

Lunch was over and they all broke out to their cabins to continue working. Time moved pretty fast and Jungkook had gotten a lot of work done and finished many meetings. Usually Jimin would have texted him something like "When will you reach?" or something by 5pm, to know if he should wait for dinner. But today there was no text, he saw he had a missed call and called back but no answer. Maybe he was busy?

"Hey." Jungkook texted him.

"Hey." Jimin replied about 10 minutes later.

"Where are you? I called. I was worried. " Jungkook texted him.

Jimin teared up reading his text. He missed him so much.
"I'm fine. Just leaving for home"

"I'm gonna be back very soon. About 10." Jungkook texted.

"Okay. I love you.." Jimin let out a sigh of relief.

"I love you too, Jimin."Jungkook wrote.

Jimin just stared at the text. Blankly. He suddenly felt so, weird. He wanted to see Jungkook, so he decided to drive to his workplace to see him before going home. Because Jungkook's 10pm could turn into 1am any time if a meeting with an international company was scheduled. He drove off to his husband and had decided to wait until tomorrow to talk to Jungkook. Since it was a weekend, he could at least try to talk to him.

He reached his office and people there recognised him. They bowed and Jimin bowed and smiled at every one as he took the elevator. He went up to the floor where his husband's office was, and saw that Jungkook was beaming as he talked to Taehyung, Namjoon and Jin about a plausible merger. Jungkook looked so happy here.

He loved this. He was even laughing, Jimin's heart broke. He wasn't even like this at home. Was it Jimin that was making him sad? He gulped thickly.

"Jimin?" Jungkook was surprised seeing him. He got up and rushed out. The boys waved at Jimin who waved back at them sweetly. They all could see how dejected he looked, it broke their hearts seeing two of their close friends go through this.

"Hi!" Jungkook hugged him tightly. Jimin closed his eyes as he hugged him softly.
"All okay?" Jungkook cupped his face.
"Yeah.. Just wanted to see you. I don't get see you anymore, Kookie..." Jimin said softly and Jungkook felt his heart drop.

"See you soon, okay?" Jimin said timidly as he caressed his husband's face.
"Jimin.." Jungkook's grip tightened on his waist.
"You can stay. We'll leave together." Jungkook said softly.
"No. Go work. I'll be there when you get home." Jimin said. His tone was pained and his voice timid. He kissed his husband softly and walked out.

Jimin entered the elevator and looked at Jungkook just standing there, he waved at him and the doors closed that when his tears fell as he looked down at his wedding ring. Jungkook closed his eyes and sighed and he caressed his wedding ring.

They were in love. So much love. Then why couldn't they just say it anymore?
