Chapter 6

The next day Jin woke up, he was alone in the room, no Taehyung and Jungkook. He came out of the room and met them in the kitchen.

"Morning" Jin greeted them with a smile and Taehyung smiled when he saw him, unlike Jungkook, he didn't look at Jin at all.

"Jungkook.."

"Hmm"

"Last night--"

"Aish, come with me" Jungkook pulled Jin's hand away from Taehyung.

"What is it?"

"Last night was a mistake, I didn't mean to kiss you, I have a boyfriend, okay?"

"Kiss?"

"Don't you know what a kiss is?"

"No, I was just about to ask you, but you brought me here"

"Okay, forget what happened last night"

"Why? I'm your boyfriend right?" Jungkook's eyes widened.

"Jin, you're not my boyfriend and I didn't mean anything when I kissed you last night, it was a mistake"

"But why did you tell that guy that--"

"Enough Jin, forget about everything okay?"

"No, I don't want to forget it"

"What?"

"Why would you ask someone else to forget something they don't want to forget? Did you think forgetting was easy? If you don't want me to remember it why did you do it?" Jungkook was silent.

"Whatever" Jungkook left Jin and returned to the kitchen.

"What is it?" Taehyung said.

"Nothing" Jin approached them.

"I want to go back to the Han river" Jin said

"What?" Taehyung and Jungkook said at the same time.

"If it really is a portal, maybe I can return to Aristella from there"

"Wait, what do you mean you're going to drown yourself in there?" Taehyung said.

"Yes"

"No Jin, I'll help you find your way back there but not that way okay?"

"Tae, I've troubled you, I miss my mother too, I have to know how my planet is."

"What if you die? Will you meet them?" Jungkook said.

"At least I tried"

"Jin, Jungkook is right, we will help you"

"But I want to go there, please"

After breakfast, Jungkook went home, he promised his mother he would come home that morning. He decided not to go with Taehyung and Jin to the Han river.

That afternoon it rained very hard, not many people came to the river when it rained. But they still decided to come there. While walking by the river with an umbrella in their hands. Jin asked something that made him curious.

"Tae.."

"Hmm"

"Has everyone ever kissed?"

"What? Why do you ask that? Don't they do it where you are?"

"I don't know, maybe they do it in Tethan, but I've never seen or felt it"

"Then how did you know about that?"

"I just overheard someone say it"

"A kiss is a sign of affection for someone. Usually done to their partner, a kiss on the cheek signifies gratitude, a kiss on the forehead indicates affection and a kiss on the lips indicates admiration and a sense of belonging."

"Only done on girlfriend or boyfriend?"

"Not really, kissing happens when both of them want to do it, or because they get carried away"

"Do we have to forget about it after the kiss happened?"

"Your question is strange, people who kiss their partner because he wants to always remember it"

They arrived at the place where Jin first came there. They looked here and there making sure no one was paying attention to them.

"Jin, the rain is getting heavier, don't do that stupid thing"

"Tae, but I have to do it, I promise if nothing happens I will go up, I really miss them Tae"

"Jin, but that's not the right decision, what if--"

"I'm fine, wait for me here and I'll be back I promise"

"Okay, you promise" Jin just nodded, then looked at the river and jumped into the water. Jin let himself continue to sink in the water, closed his eyes and suddenly flashes of his parents came to his mind.

"Ohhh shit, Jin wake up, Jin.. Jin please wake up" Jin opened his eyes and coughed. He saw Jungkook before him, his body drenched and Taehyung beside him with an umbrella in his hand.

"Thank goodness Jin, you made me worry" Taehyung said.

"Are you crazy huh! If you really want to die don't bring us into it!" Jungkook snapped at him and made Jin cry.

"I'm sorry--"

"Damn it!" Jungkook left from there, leaving Taehyung and Jin.

"It doesn't work?" Jin stared at Taehyung.

"No Jin, luckily Jungkook came and went straight into the water not long after you jumped, he was really worried about you Jin"

"But I saw my parents" Jin lowered his head and cried.

"Jin, I'm sorry but this is indeed a bad decision, you can die"

"But I miss my parents" Taehyung took Jin in his arms and let Jin cry.

"Jungkook and I promise to help you return to Aristella"

While Jungkook was still walking under the pouring rain, his heart was not calm when he knew that it was raining that afternoon, he rushed to the Han river and saw Jin jump, he ran and immediately entered the water, Taehyung was shocked by Jungkook's action. Because what Taehyung knows is that his best friend is not someone who cares about other people.

Jungkook stopped and held his chest, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Stupid! Why did you do that to me? You can die Jin" Jungkook muttered while beating his chest repeatedly.
