Jin gave his coat to Jungkook, his clothes were wet because he didn't have time to shade when it rained. Jin took Jungkook home, and for the first time he knew where Jungkook had been living. No important chat while driving. Only occasionally did Jin look at Jungkook to make sure he wasn't cold and occasionally Jungkook looked at Jin just to make sure that what he saw was real.
11 years is indeed a long time, their separation was very sudden, no one wanted that separation. But they were helpless at that time, they were only 10 and 15 year old kids. Missing someone they can't meet every day is of course very torturous. Crying every night, they even only remember their faces when they were small, their voices, their scent they don't even remember. But that moment, as fate would have it, on Jin's birthday, the universe finally brought them together. Is this the prize for their patience all this time? Or is it really that strong of love that it can bring them back together?
"We're here" Jin said, pulling on his handbrake and looking at Jungkook.
"Would you like to stop by?" Jin glanced at his watch, it was 6pm.
"We can have dinner together" Jungkook said.
"My mother isn't home, she's away and usually doesn't come home until tomorrow" Jin just smiled, he didn't even have time to answer.
"But--"
"Jungkook-ah"
"Hmm"
"I'll stop by, it's not because your mother isn't home or because I haven't had dinner."
"Ahh okay, let's go inside" Jungkook blushed and led Jin inside his house. Very big, Jin is happy to see where Jungkook has lived all this time, that means everything Jungkook needs is fulfilled, what his mother said is true.
"Mimi.. can you make me and Jin hyung hot chocolate?" Jungkook said to his maid.
"Yes, I'll make it for you two"
"Thanks Mimi" Jungkook took Jin to his room and left Mimi.
"Welcome to my room" Jungkook opened his bedroom door and Jin was amazed to see how big the room was.
"What did you think when you saw this room? It's too spacious right?" he said.
"Yeah, I'm grateful you got all of this"
"I'm not happy even though I get what other people expect, my mother forbids me to be friends with anyone, only Tae is my friend. My mother always orders her driver to accompany me, he takes care of me until I return home, I'm always under his supervision. This is not what I want hyung, if you think I got everything I want and need, you're wrong. I got nothing here."
"Why do you say that? Of course you have to be grateful for all of this, just imagine if you didn't have all of this, you were far from me and eomma and didn't have anything, maybe your life would be a lot more annoying"
Jin approached Jungkook who sat on the bed first, he sat beside Jungkook and not long after a knock on the door was heard. Jungkook ordered her in and Mimi came in with a tray in her hand, there were two cups of hot chocolate there. She gave it to Jungkook and Jin then walked out.
"I always ask Mimi to make hot chocolate like eomma does, even though it doesn't taste the same, but this can make my longing pay off a little"
"Actually there's nothing different from the hot chocolate made by eomma, she also bought chocolate powder from the supermarket, I used to cry a lot and eomma always took me out of the house to make my crying stop. At that time she took me to the supermarket, I saw chocolate milk in the cooler and asked eomma to buy it. I really like that chocolate milk, but if eomma buys it every day for me it would cost a lot of money and it's very wasteful. So eomma tried to divert me with the hot chocolate she made. It was winter, very cold. Eomma came home with her shopping bags , I asked for my chocolate milk but she took out a box of cocoa powder. She said, she can make chocolate the way I like it and for some reason when she made it, I really liked it, actually if you buy the chocolate powder, it will taste the same as what eomma made"
Jungkook only paid attention to Jin, his eyes kept looking at his hyung, listening to all of Jin's words until the end.
"hyung"
"Hmm"
"I like eomma's hot chocolate because it's your favorite, remember when we fought because I wanted to wear the clothes you wear? I want to wear whatever you wear, I want to like what you like. I want to do whatever you do, you know since when did I realize that this feeling is love? One year ago, during my birthday, I dreamed about you, you came with cake and wished me Happy birthday. It felt so real that I didn't want to wake up but at that moment I had to wake up and I'm crying because I lost you, my chest hurts so much. I'm not sure it's love but every time I'm with Tae I'm just scared that I'll let you down"
Jin took Jungkook's hand and held it tightly while smiling.
"I disappointed you"
"No hyung, I'm sorry because at that time I said things that I shouldn't have said, but I didn't mean to say it, I was just emotional and I..i'm jealous, I should have been by your side, helping you look after eomma at the end of her life but I wasn't there "
"It's okay Jungkook-ah" their eyes stared at each other, the gaze was locked until they got closer to each other, their faces got closer and slowly their eyes closed.
And the moment their lips touched, it felt like it came to life. But the kiss didn't last long, because someone opened Jungkook's bedroom door, making them both pull away and look towards the door.
"Eomma.." Jungkook said, he stood up and his mother approached them both. Before he could say anything, his mother immediately slapped Jungkook's cheek in front of Jin.
"What are you doing?"
"Mrs. Jeon!" Jin immediately stood in front of Jungkook, protecting Jungkook from his mother.
"Who are you? How did you get in here? Who let you in? You brat, you abused my son!" When his mother wanted to slap Jin, Jungkook held him back.
"Eomma!!!"
"Jungkook-ah.." Jin said, he saw Jungkook who was crying with his cheeks red.
"He is Jin hyung, he and his mother took care of me when you threw me away, did you forget? And he didn't abuse me"
"I don't care who it is, have you forgotten the rules of this house? No one is allowed to come in without my permission! Now, get out of my house!" His mother glared at Jin.
"No!!!" Jungkook holds Jin, he holds Jin's hand tightly.
"Jungkook-ahh.."
"If you kick him out, I'll go with him!"
"Jeon Jungkook !!" His mother snapped at him.
"You are not my mother!!! Are you proud to consider me your son after you threw me away? You left me for 10 years and just took me!! I'm tired of living like this! Did you think that everything you gave me could make me happy? Big house, big room with all these facilities it's just hell for me and you're just a devil for me!"
"Jungkook-ah!!" Jungkook turned to Jin.
"Did he teach you to be impudent like this? Huh!!"
"Isn't this your upbringing?" Jungkook pulled Jin's hand out of the room.
"Jungkook!! Stop!!" His mother screamed but Jungkook and Jin decided to leave.
