[On Hold] AGE GAP

6. Ignition

Like any other sunny day Jimin came back from a morning walk. He threw his headphones on couch and flicked back his wet hair.

Yet another day was waiting for him because running a company wasn't as easy as killing mosquitoes. It was difficult and more tiresome when his mind drifted back to that club night.

It's been three years since he last saw Chaewon and her memories were still vivid. His parents were asking him, a 33 yr old guy, to settle down but his mind always drifted off to her embrace. She was unforgettable. A sigh escape from his lips whilst switching on the television.

The morning news was playing while he opened a bottle and drank water."Breaking news: The Jeons have announced the date of marriage of their only son. The name of the bride is kept secret and the private wedding will be highly guarded. Who is this girl living the dreams of millions?"

He choked out the water, wiping the drop which were dripping down his chin on sweatpants. His wide eyes were still glued to screen when my phone rang. He picked it up and it was the expected person.

"Did you knew about it?" Jimjn subconsciously shook his head as if his friend could see him. He replied," Never in my wildest dream I thought of hearing it. Let's go check on him."

"I'll be there in five." Taehyung cut the call and without wasting a minute Jimin tok a quick bath and dressed himself in a suit. Before grabbing an apple he called his secretary and informed that he'll come late.

On his way towards Jungkook's penthouse he wondered how was Jungkook? Was he happy, sad or mad? Nothing could be predicted about him anymore. He had drastically changed in the last few years. He was now a built man who governed the rise and fall of stock markets and ruled the business.

At the age of 31, Jungkook already attained the tilte of Mr. Cold since he closed his heart for anyone, it stopped accepting affection. Another sigh escaped from his lips when he pulled the car and saw Taehyung waiting for him.

The boys took the elevator straight to the topmost level. Surprisingly the door was open. They entred into a dark room where everything was on its place. Even the bedroom was empty.

"Where's he?"

The door clucked again and a third person walked in with a plastic bag. They turned around and saw Jungkook in a hoodie and track pants, he had just came from convenience store.

"Oh you guys came. I'm cooking ramen, wanna have some?" Theys looked shocked at how calm he was. Taehyung grabbed his wrist and said," Why are you so calm? Don't scare us. Be violent, expressive, loud; not numb or lifeless."

"I didn't had a life to begin with." A scoff escaped from Jungkook's mouth and he yanked his hand away. He ripped the packet and poured the noddles into the pot. The water was boiling and so was his latent annoyance.

"Why are you getting married?" Jimin finally asked.

The man looked up and said," Yesterday I brought a prostitute and unexpectedly, my parents visited. They think I'm going out of control and have to correct myself."

"So they proposed you to marry and you didn't argued?" He replied.

Jungkook clenched his fist and removed the hood off his head, tilting his head to show them the red mark. "You see this? I got slapped by dad and mom had tears after finding her naked in my bed. I am done fighting back and for whom? It's easier to bend than to poke."
