Still With My Memories

55. You, Me and the Moon

Jungkook chewed his lips anxiously as Jimin walked towards him. He wasn't ready to hear for what he  is about to say.

"Jungkook ah." He called and Jungkook almost breaks down. There was too much pain in Jimin's eyes, he wanted to cry as well. As he saw Jimin's trembling chin and filled-tears eyes, the urge to cage him into a hug and run away made it more difficult for him to endure holding his boyfriend.

"L-Let's-" Jimin was about to say something but was cut-off when a man, unfamiliar to them suddenly spoke from his back.

"I am glad, you two made it here." He said and Jungkook's looks at him confused. Finally, he noticed everyone around them. Jin was there too, looking at them with puzzled and sad expression. Everyone was there watching them, except Namjoon who hasn't come back yet.

"I am Nagi." The man offered his hand that Jungkook took hastily. "N-nice to meet you." He said and tears started welling Nagi's eyes. "I'm really glad you made it here." He uttered.

Both Jungkook and Jimin can never be more grateful upon learning the whole story of how they survived. They owe their lives to him. There was mixture of sadness in their story as they lost one of the member's lives because of them.

"Jungkook ah." Jimin called but the latter acts as if he didn't heard him. He keeps himself busy cleaning, sorting some clothes and materials they need to return to Jin.

They are opt to return to their normal lives. Taehyung, on the other hand returned to the city with Hoseok as the tribe refused to allowed them to stay in their area. Jin, as the leader got a little mad upon knowing their real relationship and their fake marriage, but on the other side, he understands them as well.

"I-I don't know how to tell you this... but... me and Taehyung..." Jungkook stopped minding his business. His mind was contemplating whether he can listen to anything Jimin was about to say.

"...he is the man, my first love." Jimin said and Jungkook shoulder's dropped. He kinda knew it already but hearing it from Jimin hurts him bad.

Jungkook heaved a sigh. He looked up the ceiling and took another breath of fresh air. "I see." He uttered bitterly.

Jimin did not expect his reaction. He wasn't surprised nor angry. Instead of a question, there was melancholic silence from Jungkook.

It was minutes that the two stayed having droopy atmosphere between them until Jungkook blurted out something that broke his heart even more. "You know what's funny?" He asked wearing a painful smile as he face his world, Jimin. "Your first love... happens to be my brother."

Jimin looked at him surprised. 'So that is why he called Taehyung as his hyung.' He thought.

Jimin looked down at his fidgeting hands. Silence engulf them again bacause no one knew what to say to each other.

Jimin clears his throat. He took few glances at his boyfriend who is obviously down with what they just discovered.

He can feel it.

The sudden cold treatment.

The sad and painful gazes.

The silent cry that he hide expertly.

Jungkook turned his back and continued making himself busy. He was trying so hard to brush off the thoughts in his head but his heart seemed to betray him.

Again,

A tear rolled down his cheeks. He felt hopeless. But unknown to him, Jimin noticed this. They were on the same boat afterall.
