chapter 49

Jungkook gulped, he reached out his hand, and gripped onto the ring.

"sir..."

Jungkook got startled, quickly puting his hand in his pocket, he turned around.  "Y-yes..?" he cleared his throat. 

"We don't think there's anything left. Can we clear it and wrap everything up?" the girl asked him.

"Sure. I'll leave for the day."

The girl nodded and Jungkook left. He walked out of the crime scene and got inside his car. He started the engine and drove off to somewhere, he didn't know where. He speeded the car, crossing over the average limits now as he started breathing heavy. His grip tightened around the staring and his eyes were dead focused on the road.

His car has reached the highway and his speed was still very high. Like he wanted to run off very far, somewhere and just never return. Suddenly, another vehicle approached from the other side and Jungkook came out of his thoughts.  He stepped on the breaks, making the vehicle to come at hault suddenly.

He took short and hefty breaths, before pulling the ring out of his pocket, nearing his face. And his mouth hung low, his heart shattered into pieces and his mind not ready to believe it that the ring he was holding was non other than the one he gifted Jimin. The silver ring with a zirconium stone in middle, which was carved with 'mingguk' on inner side of the ring as Jungkook had ordered it especially for him.

"N-no..." Jungkook shook his head, recalling all those memories in the back of his mind.

"Do you like it?

Jimin nodded with a smile. He held his hand high, viewing it to Jungkook, the shiny zirconium between the silver, glinting the moonlight on their pupils. 

"It looks so much better on you..."  Jungkook whispered and held his hand, kissing right on top of the ring.

Jimin giggled and hide his face in his palms, hiding those blush cheeks but of course, his small hand couldn't hide his chubby cheeks.

Was it the same ring? The same ring which he bought for Jimin with so much expectations, the same ring he thought Jimin would like and accept Jungkook in his life. The same ring that looked so beautiful like it was meant to be in Jimin's petite fingers. The same ring which was now abandoned in a crime scene that Jungkook had never expected it to be.

He still remembers how Jimin lied to him about it just a few days ago.

Jungkook noticed something while he was treating Jimin's wounds. He grabbed Jimin's right hand and stared at it for a while.

"Where's your ring, Minnie?"

Jimin stared at his empty fourth finger seeming blank for a moment.

"Oh-hh...must have gotten off during the accident. Might be somewhere in the basement. I'll search for it later,"

Jungkook still remembers the condition Jimin was in back the. The bruise on his jaw? The cut on his fingers? Were they all from Sangwon?

"....J-Jimin."

Jungkook shuttered, his eyes brimming tears as he clenched onto the ring tightly. His hands shivering were shivering and his body was trembling. The anger that Jimin hid this fact was something but the trust he had on Jimin was on another level.
