love is not over

the car reached home, the jeon's home. everyone got out, leaving the luggage in the car still and went inside 

"namjoon and sooyoung, go clean yourselves up and come down. we will make the barbecue." mrs jeon said as she signalled the jeon sibling to guide them and give them clean clothes. 

jungkook lead the older and stronger man to his room, giving him one of his t-shirts. "hyung" jungkook asked a bit uncomfortable "are you dating noona?" he asked a bit scared, this was his noona. only his. namjoon just smiled more when he heard the younger and laughed. sooyoung had told namjoon everything about their fights so he had an idea what his presence did to jungkook. "hah no uhm, I am not interested in your noona" namjoon said waving his hands indicating he really wasn't while jungkook let out a breathe he didn't realise he was holding in. 

"but uhm" namjoon started again as jungkook was about to leave "I wouldn't mind if you gave me your short friend's number?" jungkook just stood there frozen. he then realised what that meant and looked at namjoon with a small smile "aye, you gotta work for that" he teased slightly as he left the room. 

jungkook made his way to the living room but saw his noona standing outside on the balcony. realising this would be the only alone time they could get, he went in her direction outside. 

sooyoung came outside for some fresh air. she was feeling happy that she came back and wanted to breathe in her fresh Korean air. she was so immersed in her own head that she didn't realise someone slowly stood next to her. as she turned around, she saw jungkook looking forward rather than at her. she decided to stay quiet, not knowing what to say. she was about to leave when she heard jungkook speak 

"im sorry" he whispered. jungkook never apologises, but now, this was life and death. he needed to do this "im sorry for saying those bad things to you and jin hyung. I have actually friended him and he has become close to me now" he said as sooyoung nodded, surprised. "im sorry for treating you bad, you dont deserve that behaviour." he spoke with so much regret it made sooyoungs heart quiver. "im sorry for ignoring you and not resection you. you were the one who helped me, helped noona, all those years back. I am a brat for treating you the way I did I-" jungkook was about to apologise again when he felt a hand on his back, slowly patting him. 

"its okay" she whispered. slowly stroking his back, she sighed "im sorry too. sorry for not understanding your feelings and being a bad noona. my job is to take care of you, not to cause you pain" she spoke, looking forward as looking at him was too painful. 

jungkook felt bad. he should be apologising, not his noona. he was bad, not her. feeling angered, he turned around to look at her sharply, startling the other, and lunged to hug her. 

shocked was an understatement. sooyoung was confused, she felt as jungkook tightened his grip around her waist, a bit uncomfortable because of the height difference "no noona" he murmered. "im sorry" he kept repeating, almost crying. sooyoung just smiled and hugged jungkook back, circling her arms around the youngers neck. 

after a good 5 minutes, sooyoung split the hug, looking at jungkooks eyes, seeing little tears forming. to change the atmosphere, she giggled. 

oh my god she giggled. so cutely. jungkook's sad expression got replaced with a little smile as he looked at her with so much love. as he was about to say something, sooyoung leaned on the railing of the balcony and looked ahead. "so jungkoookieeee, what have you been doing for the last 5 years?" she asked, with little dips in her voice making jungkook chuckle "ahh uhm, nothing really." he confessed "I have been studying, and going to they gym" sooyoung nodded, now looking at him "oh! I also got tattoos" jungkook showed off his tattoos proud. while sooyoung gazed at them deeper "ahh, yeah, they look very pretty" she softly said as she traced them, tickling jungkook a bit. 

"what are you studying?" she asked now, taking her eyes off his arms, which was hard. 

"oh uhm" he timidly spoke "uhm, law?" he spoke while rubbing his nape, a little embarrassed while sooyoung only smiled, almost laughing "aigoo you missed me that much you studied law too?" she teased while he just whined a bit "ahh, im doing criminal law" jungkook spoke as sooyoung nodded "ahhh yeah, nice nice. im doing the same so I guess ill see you in court!" she joked while he nodded. 

"how was America?" jungkook asked, curious about her journey "it was nice. I met so many amazing people and made great friends like namjoon. it was great" she spoke "namjoon even forced me to go to the gym with him, it was painful really" she joked, massaging her arms while jungkook nodded. "ahh yeah, namjoon hyung has big muscles " jungkook held prejudice against namjoon yet still admired his physic. everything about namjoon screamed amazing. jungkook was mesmerised. "yeah" sooyoung nodded. 

they watched the quiet traffic pass outside, enjoying each others company. it was nice to just be next to each other. they felt at home. 

as they were watching the view, someone opened the door "yah guys, bbq is ready, hurry before taehyung and namjoon eat it all" hoyeon said while the two just laughed, walking in. 

sooyoung was happy to be back, to come back and be with her family, and of course, jungkook.
