CHILDHOOD BESTFRIEND | BTS JUNGKOOK FF

3 | No other choice

You ran out the building and walked to an empty place beside the company where there is nobody. You were about to sit down but then you felt somebody pulled you by your wrist from behind and made you turn your body and hugged you.

You knew it already that it was Jungkook and you started crying again when you felt how comfortable it is in his arms. He let you cry in his shoulder until you calm down a bit.

"They said they are not forcing us to do it, they are just giving us an idea since we are on 20's now." He said calmly. "They will give us some time to think and decide. If that's okay with you?" He continued.

I broke the hug and looked down. He caressed my chin and made me look at him. He put some hair strands behind my ear and wiped the years on my cheeks.

"Crying doesn't fit you. It just made you uglier." He said teasingly.

You hit his arms and laughed a bit. He chuckles after.

"Are you not going to be mad at them?" You asked looking at him.

He looked at you and smiled. "What's the point? Once parents have decided what they want, they will continue it... So we have no choice at all but to admit the fact that we won't ever win against them." He answered. "I think they're right." He said.

"What?" You looked at him confused.

"Don't you think we should try dating, at least?" He looked at you, seriously.

"What? We are going to pretend that we like each other? Or you mean force ourselves to like each other?" You chuckles, annoyed.

"No. Are you dumb? Pabo...." He messed up your hair.

"I mean, what do you want me to think then?" You defended yourself. You sighed. "This day should be a happy one but they just ruined it." You said placing your head in Jungkook's shoulder.

"Jungkook?" You called out his name.

"Hmm?" He hummed in response.

"I'm tired now." You closed your eyes.

"Goodnight, Seoyun." He said.

After that you drifted to sleep. You were really tired that time because of crying. You fell asleep on Jungkook's shoulder outside the company at the evening time.

-

When you woke up in the morning the next day, you felt the soft mattress all over your body.

You sat down rubbing your eyes to see a clearer view around. You were in your room, you suddenly remembered what happened yesterday at the company and how Jungkook comforts you.

Jungkook

You suddenly realized that Jungkook took you here. He was the only one who was with you at that time and you knew he took care of you. You immediately took your phone from the side table of the bed and dialed his number.

A few rings from your phone was heard and he picked up.

"Hello?" You heard his voice through your ears.

"Jungkook..." You said as it was the only word that got out of your mouth.

"Yes, Seoyun-ah. Did something happened?" He asked in a worried tone.

"N-No. Nothing happened." You said stuttering. "I just wanna say Thank you for yesterday, and for taking me home safely. I'm sorry if I gave you a hard time getting me home." You bit your lower lip in embarrassment.

"Not at all. You were just a little bit heavy." He said teasing you.

"I-I am?" You asked that made your ear red in embarrassment.

You heard him chuckled and laugh at the phone. "No, you weren't. I was just joking." He said.

You sighed in relief. "Oh- I thought I was." You fake laugh. "Anyways, I think I'm bothering you now so... I will hang up now. Thank you again." You said.

"Sure, no problem." He said and you hanged up.

It's afternoon and you're just cleaning the house because you don't have anything to do. You were wiping the tv's table when the bell suddenly rang.

You immediately run towards the door and opened it just to see your parents standing there.

They looked at you and spoke. "Seoyunie.." Your mom spoke breaking the silence for seconds.

"What are you guys doing here?" You asked, not in the mood talking to them.

"We came to see you, princess." Your dad said, smiling brightly to you.

You opened the door wide for them and they came in. They walked towards the living room, seating down the big couch and rested.

"What were you doing just now?" Your mom asked.

"I was cleaning the house." You answered.

"Look, Seoyun-ah, we know you're still mad at us because of what we told you yesterday but we didn't really want to hurt you like that, it's just- we didn't know you would react that way." Your mom confessed.

You look at them with teary eyes. "Then what do you expect me to react? To be happy?, that me and my best friend are freaking getting married without any reason just because our parents told us to?" You said, madness are still inside you.
"You expect us to agree to you?, because you're our parents? So what? We are going to marry each other, forced? Without any love for each other?, just going to marry for that?" You asked many questions.

"Marriage is not a game, mom." You explained.

"We know." Your mom answered. "We are not forcing you to. We are just hoping that you will have an idea. We are giving you some time to think. You can try dating each other at least." She said.

"And what? That relationship will just ruined our friendship after many years!" You shouted. "Dad." You looked to your dad with a soft facial expression, trying to convince him.

"Oh my daughter.... I think your mom is right, it's not that we are forcing you guys. Get some time to think and tell us after you have an answer." Your dad explained. "You know we love you, right?" He asked.

You nodded and hugged them.
