Relish Heart

Chapter 11;

as tzuyu was about to knock, she got backhanded thoughts, what even am I to him?  and most importantly, why am I even doing this? he probably wouldn't open the door! he hates me. tzuyu backed away her hand, and looked down,

tzuyu went to the living room to get jimin and drag him to jungkook's door. 

"what are you doing?" jimin asked to as if he was more confused than i am, 

"oppa, i just don't think he'll open it, i'm sorry." tzuyu said which made jimin nod, he knew what situation tzuyu was in, she backed away from the door as jimin followed her, but right then the two of them heard the door shrieked, 

and someone pulled her in, as there she saw him, hugging her. he was hugging her so tight not wanting to let go. 

"stay with me" tzuyu felt him tighten the hug, and saw water dripping, there she saw him, crying, he was burying his head in her shoulder for tzuyu not to see him crying.

they just stayed there, standing completely straight at the middle of his room, and it looks like he has no plans of letting go, so tzuyu started the conversation and said,

"let's maybe sit down?" she heard him hum in agreement, he was wiping his tears with his long sleeves, awh cute. 

he broke the hug as they sat down but, jungkooks eyes never left hers.  

tzuyu started the conversation which a much needed question, "what did you mean, that day in the café?"

jungkook blinked and looked down, it's better to talk than leave questions not answered. "i-i was too caught up with my emotions that's why i burst out, but i was sincere when i said  i love you. i have been loving you secretly for the cause of me .. being a coward, it's dumb, i was pissed that day,"

"you acted like i didn't drunk call you, confessing my feelings. and trust me, i'm sincere when i say things."

"but you hung up the call, and i took it as a rejection."

it was now tzuyu's turn to speak and there she blinked, "you've never . . called me, there was no history of you calling me. i think you miscalled a person, that's why i didn't know what you were talking about.." 

"so really, i never rejected you."

jungkook gulped and looked at tzuyu with guiltiness, was this just a whole big misunderstanding? 

"are you saying.. you didn't reject me that night?" reject? why would i?

"yeah i-i didn't." fuck. who did i call that night? well. i'll figure that out later. i need some time with my girl. 

tzuyu stood up. 'wait, was this it? she's done with me?'  jungkook quickly held her hand with the intention of not letting go, "relax, i'm just going to grab my phone." the guy suddenly felt heat in his cheeks and ears. was he blushing?

tzuyu took her phone and checked it and she was right, jungkook didn't call her, it was dumb enough of him thinking it was a glitch when he last checked. 

"this isn't your number?" jungkook looked at her confused locked through her eyes, 

"that's mingyu's number." tzuyu said bluntly, "look, mine has the 05 at the last number, his is 07." jungkook quickly looked at his phone and tzuyu was right, it was mingyu's number, he chocked and looked at her, 

"holy mother truck." jungkook pressed the convo and there he saw the history of him calling mingyu. 

"why, what happened" tzuyu looked at him concerned, in a moment of guilt he looked worried. 

"the one that i called was .. mingyu, so he knows now i like you, and.." jungkook sighed as he continue his sentence, "he's my friend."

"i don't want to lose our friendship and he'd probably hate the idea of me and you."

"if he's your friend, he'd be happy to see you happy." tzuyu replied and there, jungkook finally hit the realization, if he's a true friend. you don't bring each other down, but instead bring each other up.

jungkook nodded but there's still something that clouds up his mind, "can i court you?" tzuyu looked up fidgeting with her hands. 

"it's not that i want to try having a lover, i just don't want to risk of loving, i'm scared and i have enough reasons to say, that i'm a busy person, and eventually you'd get tired of me."

jungkook held her hand which made tzuyu look up onto him.

"then trust me tzuyu, i'd risk everything for you, i'd do anything for me to get your yes, call me desperate but i'll do it."

"if you're scared, we'll find out together what love is, if you're busy, i'd be the one to initiate time for you, i'd give you my all and wouldn't get tired of you. i love you and i'm willing to wait." jungkook held both of her hands, he was gentle with every word giving the main idea of what love is. 

"love is all about trusting tzu, and i, again will wait for you to have trust on me, don't worry baby, i'll wait for you in a forever." what did he just call me?

"well that's one way for you to get shocked, huh?" he's making me it worse! goodness, probably in a week he'll get my yes.

tzuyu sighed as she bit her lip which made jungkook raise his eyebrows, "are you okay?" 

"yeah, i just- remembered something not important," jungkook nodded as he swept her hair, "you can tell me anything hmm? share and lend me your thoughts, i'd be happy to hear it."

tzuyu nodded and it was now her time to hold his cheeks wiping those dried tears, "always asking me if i'm okay! look at you." jungkook laughed and held her hand on his face, "yeah, that's why i need you to take care of me." 

tzuyu scoffed and stood up, "it seems like you're okay now, your hyungs called me to talk to you and they've said you haven't ate a single thing!" tzuyu put her hands on her waist playfully being mad, as jungkook smirked, "i like that you're comfortable with me already." 

tzuyu then turned her back as she rolled her eyes, she walked over to his door, wanting to open the locked doorknob not until jungkook opened it first, 

"stay with me for awhile, i need your presence with me."

"what if i say no?"

"then i'm never letting you go out of here."
