Shy Innocent Baby | Jikook Short Story | ON GOING |

•Thirty One•

Night time of the same day

"Jungkook."

"We need to talk. Can you please go to our room? Your mom and I need to talk something important." Mr. Jeon seriously said making Jungkook to look at him worriedly.

Did I do something wrong? Why he's so serious. He's only like that if things are complicated and if he's mad.

"Are you... mad at me?"

"Just go to our room later, Jungkook." It's his mother.

"Sorry to ask... but, d-did Kookie have done s-s..something wrong?" Jimin ask out of curiosity and how scared he is. After hearing Mr. Jeon's voice calling for Jungkook, he felt so scared. Scared for Jungkook. He don't like the feeling of it, that someone is mad at Jungkook.

"Jimin, baby. Don't worry. It's their business, okay? Jungkook will be okay." Mrs. Park whispers to Jimin.

"Okay..." He sadly answer.

-

There's a knock on Jungkook's and Jimin's room. Jimin is left alone as Jungkook is at his parents room.

Jimin can't stay calm, he's so worried.

Why does Mr.Jeon sounds scary? Is he really mad at Jungkook?

"Jimin, can you please come out? We also have to talk."

Talk? About what?

"Is it really important?" He opened the door for his mom and look at her worriedly as well.

"Yes, baby. Come on. Dad's waiting."

-

"What?!" Jungkook's eyes are filled with tears.

Is it really obvious? That I like Jimin? But I'm hiding it so well in case they disagree. But what is this?!

"Jungkook, I'm asking you! Do you like Jimin? Romantically?!"

"Yeobo, don't be so loud. He's getting scared."

"Scared? How come? He's a grown man now so there's no excuse for him to get scared!"

"NO!" Jungkook suddenly shouted. His tears are now cascading in his cheeks, his fist are clenching tightly.

"Even if I'm grown man now that doesn't mean I can't get scared! I'm scared with one thing! One person!!"

"Jun-"

"One person that I love so much, I'm scared that what if one day they leave me? I'm scared."

"You love someone, you say. Who is it?" Mr. Jeon eagerly asks.

"I said who?!" Mr. Jeon repeated.

"Promise me you'll respect that person. Promise me you'll let me be with that person and accept us. Promise me."

"Does that person even love you, Jungkook?" Jungkook's mother asks this time. She can't wait to hear it from Jungkook's mouth. On how he will say how much he loves Jimin.

"Y-yes. Yes. We love each other... so much that I'll die if we separated."

"Jungkookie... oh my son."

"Jungkook, I asked you earlier if you like Jimin, but hearing this thing coming from you about loving someone, I assumed you don't like Jimin."

"Dad, wait. No."

"No? What do you mean? So you like Jimin while you love someone? Are you crazy?"

"Let me explain first! I can t-"

"You know Jungkook, if you answered 'yes' when I asked you if you like Jimin romantically, I'll get his things and throw it. I will make his family leave right now in this house."

"What? Dad you're not like that! Why would you do that?!"

"Because you can't like him! You're supposed to be with a woman! Not with a guy! Do you understand?"

"That's... that's so mean. You can do that with Jimin? And what if I said I like him? That i really, really like him?!"

"Then I'll do what I've just said. I'll throw his things and make him and his parents leave."

"You're not like that... what is wrong with you, Dad?"

"Nothing's wrong with me! It's you! Why can't you just say you like him?! For fucks sake, my son!"

"I don't understand."

"Let me ask you one last time, do you like Jimin?" Mr. Jeon sternly asks again.

"I do. I do like him... romantically."

"Jungkook, are you sure of what you're saying?" His mom ask. Her eyes are sparkling.

"I'm very well sure. And I clearly said I do. So, what will you do, dad? Throw his things? Come on. Do that and I swear I'll never going back here."

"You like Jimin, and you love someone? How come? You have two hearts now?"

"Will you ever accept me? If I told you who is that lovely person I love?"

"You see, mom and dad. I've been in love with one person. We are in love, we love each other. I like him, yes I like him. And I love him, so much. Him. Happy?"

"Tell me, tell us. Look at my eyes and tell me his name. Come on."

Jungkook looks at his father's eyes still filled with tears.

"Say it."

"I like Jimin, and I'm in love with Jimin."

"It's Jimin, the one I love so much, the one who is in my room at this moment! It's Park Jimin."
