Together You and I

CHAPTER 54

CHAPTER 54  

JUNGKOOK's P.O.V.

"How did you find my number?" I asked warily. "That is not important what is important is do you want to see Mae again?" Jaden asked directly. I was caught off-guard with the question. it's been what? Two years since she admitted that she is pregnant and Jaden is the father. 

I wasn't able to answer immediately. "Why are you asking me this?" I asked curiously. "This will be the last time I will give you a chance because after this, I will make sure that no matter what happens, Mae will be mine." I closed my fist as I stood up in anxiety. "What is going on? Aren't you two together?" I asked with furrowed brows. I heard him chuckle at the other end of the line. I can feel my heart beginning to beat faster. "How I wish!" He muttered. 

I don't understand. What is this guy playing at? "But what about your child?" I asked, unable to contain my curiosity. "What child?" He asked back. I can feel the genuine confusion in his voice. "Isn't Mae Noona pregnant two years ago?" I asked back. I heard him laugh. "Of course not. Mae probably said that so that you wouldn't try to follow her and leave her alone. I will be honest with you. Our relationship is not real, sadly." Jaden said the last part with a sad voice. 

I closed my eyes and bit my lip as regret came to me like a flood. I should've made sure then that Mae Noona didn't lie. I guess I was blinded by my own hurt and disappointment. 

"Jungkook-ah! It's your turn to rehearse your solo." I heard Taehyung hyung yelled from the other side of the room . I looked at him and nodded while I pointed at the phone in my hand. He gave me an okay sign and so I continued talking to Jaden.

"So, what do you want me to do?" I asked slowly getting back to the reason why he called. "I heard you will have a concert here in the Philippines soon." He stated. "What about it?" I asked while trying to remain calm. "I have already booked a three day vacation in Palawan with Mae. The date is before your concert. Do you want to see her?" He asked in a serious manner. I closed my eyes and asked myself the same thing. Do I? 

"Mae loves you, even though she tries to hide it. She thought she is good with lying but after years of knowing her I can see right through it." I bit my lip in anxiety. I don't know what to do. "This is your last shot." He muttered at the other end of the line. His words echoed through my head and before I could stop myself I asked her of the exact details of Mae Noona's travel to Palawan. 

"Who was that?" Hoseok hyung asked as he stood beside me to drink some water. I put my phone back to my pocket and shrugged. "A friend." I replied nonchalantly. "A friend? Then why do you look stressed?" Hoseok hyung asked jokingly. I looked at him and sighed. "Why? Is there something wrong?" His smile faltered and was immediately replaced with a frown. I shook my head in answer.

"Jungkook-ah! Hurry up! I need to practice too!" Jimin hyung yelled at the other end of the practice room. "Yeah!" I replied before I walk towards the center to practice my solo part. I am trying my best to focus on what I am doing but my mind kept on going to the fact that Mae Noona lied to me, that she was never pregnant and never been in a relationship with Jaden. Why did I believe her so fast. Why didn't I doubt her? If I didn't believe her lies then we could've stayed together. I would've fought so hard to be with her.

"Yah! Jungkook-ah! What is wrong with you? Why do you keep on making mistakes?" Seungduk hyung asked with a frown. "I... I'm sorry. I am just not feeling good today." I lied. Seungduk hyungnim sighed. "If that is so. Then, go and get some rest. We only have a few days before your world tour. You need to be in the best condition to avoid problems." Seungduk hyungnim muttered. I bowed in apology before I walked towards my bag.
