KP World tour : At Seoul. A JeffBarcode Story

Gosh, we need Tankhun.

[ Part 2 : Somewhere during the night, in Seoul. ]

Jeffy P.O.V :

"Are you trying to kill us Po? Argh! Slow down...argh.." Tong roared breathlessly.

Jeff burst out laughing, but he was just as tired. Apo happily held his phone in front of him before exclaiming,

"Everyone today we're going to the highest point in our town to eat some good snacks. Guys ! Say hello !"

Tong groaned a little and Jeff smiled, hiding his anxiety a little. Then the trio finally arrived at a wooden table, and they admired the view a little.

''It's so beautiful..." Apo whispered.

''It's like I don't have any problems anymore!'' confessed Tong sipping his coffee.

Jeff remained silent, eating his chips, looking distracted. Tong noticed his friend behaviour, and he decided to let the Thankhun Theerapanyakul in him come out:

"Well, well,well....I know someone here who has problems...right ? Mr. Jeff Sigh."

Apo burst into a crystalline laugh, he tapped Tong's hands before turning to Jeff:

"It's so true, dude, you've sighed at least ten times since we've been here!"

Jeff arched an eyebrow, before lying down on the table, admiring the stars, and the other two idiots did the same. Tong persisted a little and the word "Barcode" was enough to trigger Jeff to speak:

"I don't understand him, sometimes he's happy, sometimes sad, sometimes crazy and the second after he is angry...He's so...young. Am I really too old to understand Barcode? "

"That's normal," Apo asserted while taking a selfie. "We were the same, mad and rebellious, filled with emotions that were hard to contain..."

"He is trying his best..." Tong said. "He handles so many things, and the others aren't kind to him, they're always making fun of him..."

Jeff frowned. Really ? He thought everything was going pretty well. Barcode was like a sociable butterfly, often at ease with people...

Apo slapped his hands to pull Jeff out of his daydreams.

"Dude, you suck, didn't you even notice?"

"Notice what?" Jeff exclaimed looking confused.

Tong gave Apo a look of despair, before sighing.

"Poor Barcode... Nothing. Forget it. We won't tell you, you are too naive. Just protecting him, ok? That will be enough."

Jeff nodded, still confused. Then Apo looked at him curiously :

"You really like our little brother, don't you?"

"Yes."

''No hesitation huh." Said Tong while laughing.

Jeff smiled in turn, no, not a single hesitation. Barcode was special to him.
He couldn't define their relationship, but it's was really... Unique. Jeff felt himself when he was with his co-star, nothing forced, only good feelings. Of course, Jeff was always trying his best : attentive on social media even if he had work, always making sure to help Barcode with music.... But lately, something was off.

"Does he feel better ?" Asked Tong.

''What do you mean ? He went to bed, saying that he was tired..."

"I am talking about his back."

Jeff was once again confused. Tong looked at him with curiosity, but this time, Apo was lost just like Jeff.
So Tong explained their video from earlier, and the fact that Barcode fell over Build and him.

"He yelled a little, but kept smiling for the camera..."

"Wow, is he really hurt ?" Apo seemed genuinely worried.

Now, Jeff understood better why Build had asked for his forgiveness... That was just an accident, come on, and Jeff wasn't a scary mafia heir haha...

"I will ask him tomorrow. Thank you for letting me know..''

''Barcode is really upset by people making fun of him because of his age, he doesn't feel worthy of you.." suddenly said Apo. " I don't want to meddle in your business guys, but I feel like, you know, you could maybe have a good talk... Just you and him."

"Yeah, and I will talk to the others cast members, don't worry, they are going to stop being such bitchies hehe..."

Jeff thanked his friend, but now, he was feeling anxious again, was Barcode's back really in pain ?
He wanted to go back, but Apo was having fun and Tong would complain that he can't walk anymore.
Plus, Barcode was probably asleep by now.

...................................................

"Good morning guys !"

Jeff went to the kitchen, where staff members were giving coffee and soft bread as a breakfast.
He saw Barcode on a couch, looking numb. Apo was happily showing some video to Mile and suddenly he crushed Barcode's shoulder.

"OUTCH."

"Oh sorry, Nong Co...Barcode ?"

Barcode left, passing by Jeff without giving a single glance.
Apo looked immediately bad and Mile tried to cheer him up. Tong went directly next to Jeff.

''Gosh, we really need a Thankhun... What the hell are you doing right now ? Don't be such a useless Phi and go after him !"

"Oh...right right..."

Jeff tried to find Barcode, he went to their room... And saw the young boy crying on his bed.
