27. Insensitive

All of them gather around the backyard to continue making kimchi, now putting the red paste into each leaf of the cabbage.

A few laughters here in there as Jin's appa and aunt Jisu share some kimchi making experiences in the past.

The atmosphere has lighten a bit, with Jin and his appa trying to make Taehyung and Jungkook involved in the process and in the conversation.

"Oh fu-- sorry, it's difficult not to splatter some around." Taehyung smiled then looked at Jin when he got himself some red paste on his cheek.

"No! Don't wipe it, your gloves are dirty too, silly!!" Jin said and Taehyung laughed.

"I'll get it for you." Jin removed his gloves and wiped Taehyung's cheek with a tissue.

The others just staring down at their basins, not sure how to react at the moment. Then the doorbell rang, Jisu stood up to get who's on the door.

Hobi and Yoongi came in with a smile on their faces, excited to see everyone in the backyard.

"Oh no! We're late, sorry!! You've already started!" Hobi said bowing to Jin's appa.

"Was that your car, Jin? That's so dope! You really are-" Yoongi stopped when he saw an unknown guest amongst the group.

"Omg! You! You're Kim Taehyung, right? One of the hottest and richest bachelors in Seoul!! Oh my- are you a model too??" Hobi said when his eyes landed on Taehyung.

"Hi Hobi!! You didn't even notice me first!" Jin walked to them and gave Hobi and Yoongi a hug.

Hobi chuckled, "Sorry, Jinnie. I was just surprised to see everyone. It's been a while. Omg look at how beautiful you got!! I almost did not recognize you. I miss you, Jin!!"

"I miss you too!! Thank you for coming today to see me." Then Jin turned to point at Taehyung.

"He's Taehyung. He's not a model, he's our company's CEO." Jin said.

"Hello! It's a pleasure to meet Jin's old friends. I'm Taehyung, his boyfriend." Taehyung said as he stood up and removed his gloves.

"What the fuck??!" Yoongi exclaimed while Hobi just covered his mouth.

"Oh, finally someone who speaks my language." Taehyung smiled at them.

*******

The afternoon has gone by so quick. Aunt Jisu prepared dinner for everyone while the group talked about Mr. Kim and his medication progress, Jin's life as a model in Seoul and Taehyung on how he managed to establish a big agency at his late twenty's.

Jungkook was just silent most of the time which did not go unnoticed by Yoongi and Hobi.

"I'm going to bed, sons. Thank you for spending your time with your old man! I will always treasure moments like these with you - with my son's loving friends who are like my sons too." Mr. Kim smiled at them then he stood up, helped by aunt Jisu.

"We had a great time today too, Mr. Kim. We'll go ahead as well. Good night too aunt Jisu." Hobi said.

"I'll just walk them out." Jin stood up.

Taehyung looked at Jin then at Jungkook before he said, "I'll wait upstairs in the bedroom then, baby."

*******

Outside in front of Jin's house, Hobi hugged Jin goodbye. "It's good to see you again, Jinnie. But you really surprised us with Taehyung."

"Yeah. How could you be so insensitive like this, Jin? This isn't like you at all. Well, it's totally obvious what you see in that guy, but I expected better from you--"

"Babe, stop it!" Hobi snapped at Yoongi.

Jin looked at Yoongi then at Jungkook who don't look amused at all. Then he said to Hobi, "Sorry guys. He surprised me with coming here too. I know I have a lot of explaining to do. Kook--"

"No, Jin. You don't owe me an explanation anymore. Remember when I told you that I still don't understand why you did what you did. But I do now.

Of course, it'll be easier to find someone if you're not with me. Someone so rich who can give you everything I couldn't. It made life easier for you, didn't it? I'm just sorry that all I can give you was my support, I'm just sorry I am poor and not a hot bachelor like him! I'm sorry I'm just me, Jin.

But tell you what, I'm not so sorry anymore now that I've come to know the real you. I think instead of feeling sorry, I should be thankful. I may need to thank you for saving me from you!"

Yoongi already pulled Jungkook by his shoulder as he's already crying too much. Jin's tears are also streaming down his face hearing how his friends see him as a person now, especially Jungkook.

"I-it's not w-what you think!! I-I only did it for a-appa. I did not p-plan to have someone like Tae." Jin tried to explain while Hobi is rubbing his back, and looking at Jungkook walking away with Yoongi.

"Jin, I'm so sorry. Jungkook is just hurt. And Yoongi is still shocked, you know how close they are with each other. So they may have said things they don't mean. Don't worry at all. We still remain to be your friends, no matter how hurt we are.

Just call me when you need someone to talk to. I'm just here. I love you, Jin." Hobi gave his friend a tight hug before kissing him on his forehead.

*******

"Your eyes are puffy. You cried?" Taehyung asked with an eyebrow raised. He is now seated on Jin's bed, his back leaning on the headboard, while checking his mails on his phone.

"No, I didn't. I'll just take a shower." Jin said softly.

"I think you did. Is there something that he said that got into you? Do you now regret leaving him and being with me?!" Taehyung continued.

"Tae, please not now. Can I shower first, then we can talk after?" Jin took his towel and robe and went to the bathroom across his bedroom.

He was about to close the door when Taehyung barged in, shut the door and locked it behind him.

Jin whispered in a shout, "Tae!!"

Taehyung glared at him, "How about we talk while you shower?!!"
