Relish Heart

Chapter 9;

jungkook sighed in defeated, he knew exactly what was about to happen but why was he so disappointed? bang-pd gave him weeks to decide, ending up in himself, deciding.

great, everything will be awkward now. 'if it wasn't for my drunk confession, she wouldn't even know that i liked her for so long.'

jungkook excused himself before going out of the meeting, he needed air to breathe, inside was just thick tense. 

he went outside of the company and walked to the nearest park, bang-pd and his managers would probably be worried of his sudden walk-out but they've understood he's upset. before seating on the first bench he could find. 

this is what he needed. his alone time.

not until something ruined the mood as a phone call can be heard, turns out it was his phone ringing, he was about to decline it when he saw that she was calling. 'so she still wants to keep in-touch after i confessed to her?'

jungkook still answered the phone with his thoughts and as they called, it only pissed him off, 'why is she acting like i didn't pour out my heart last night? yeah i was drunk but that only meant even if i was drunk she's still pinned to me.'

"i'm glad you answered jungkook, i was hoping to meet-up?" for what? to reject me when i'm sober?

"yeah. i'm free for today." no, i'm not. but i'll clear my schedules for you.

"your voice seem a bit down, did something happen?" yeah, your duality seems great. you can pretend nothing had happened.

how did jungkook knew he confessed to her? he checked the footage of the bar, and saw himself being a fool. a fool of love. she didn't even say anything when he confessed, instead she hung up. now isn't that the worse rejection? 

"jungkook? are you still there?" 

"y-yeah sorry, i was spacing out." 

"j-jungkook, i'm worried about you. please do say something if somethings wrong." jungkook blinked at what he heard, 'she's worried about me? why?'

"no, don't be worried. i'm fine." you make me want to fall deeper for you, that's the problem.

"alright, i'll just chat you the details about where to meet-up. bye-bye." tzuyu ended the call as he slowly put down his phone in his lap.

jungkook checked their conversation as he widened his eyes, there was no history of him calling last night. huh. maybe a glitch. he was so sure he called her. 

he then didn't pay attention as he has done enough of overthinking for today. 

tzuyu then sent the café that they both went to as .. that's probably the first thing that came out to her mind. jungkook quickly offed his phone as he then ran back to the company and took out his stuff before leaving soundly with his manager. 

--- 

tzuyu on the other hand was getting teased at, by her unnies. 

"aaah~ my baby is going on a date! how she grew so fast!" a classic sana line. 

"it's not a date unnie, i'm just going to inform him that i'm closing out the deal for our supposedly drama." they all sighed as this was her final decision. 

"why? isn't this a good opportunity?" jihyo asked which made everyone wondered on what tzuyu is thinking. 

"it is, but i feel like he's just being forced to do the drama with me. plus i'm busy with handling my idol life and taking care of my parents business."

"why can't your brother again take care of it?" chaeyoung asked which made tzuyu sigh

"he has a different passion which i encouraged him to follow and promised him to take care of the family's business. and it's not like i take care of it full-time, my parents still help me. they just want me to experience how our business is doing with my hands."

"okay enough enough, you're going to be late, make sure to be safe, it's night. there are plenty of sa-" 

"yes jeong unnie, i've got it." tzuyu quickly rang her manager and told him she wanted to go somewhere, well she actually wanted to drive on her own. but twice wouldn't let her. 

they were on their way when jungkook texted her. 

;i'm here :)

;i'm on my way, sorry for making you wait ^////^

;its fine, i always want to wait for you anyway. 

tzuyu didn't text him back as she was already inside the café, she was searching for his figure when she spotted him. he was seating at where they sat. 

"annyeong, sunbaenim." 

jungkook scoffed, didn't he say that he hated her being formal to him? 

"just kidding. annyeong jungkook." jungkook secretly smiled behind his mask as she finally corrected the pronunciation of his name. not that it bothered him, he actually found it cute. 

"thank you for taking my request," jungkook nodded as she initiated the meet-up. 

tzuyu continued "i also want to talk about something, and couldn't bring myself to say to you in just call." jungkook sighed as he knew where this was leading, she wanted to address on what happened last night. 

"i was thinking about it last night," ah shit, i knew it 

jungkook lowered his head not wanting to face her, 

"i want to decline the drama." jungkook quickly shot his head up to her, wait what? so this isn't about last night?

"why? this was supposed to be a huge opportunity for you." jungkook was seeking for an answser, and tzuyu can't seem to give it. why?

"i know, but i just can't stand this weird .. feeling," 

tzuyu continued her sentence as she needs some explaining to do, "but i want you to continue the drama without me, it makes things easier as in this way dispatch can-"

this isn't what jungkook was planning to talk about! he wanted to address something more that he cares about. and that's her. 

he doesn't need tzuyu to reciprocate the feelings he had given her, he just wanted to like her. 

"well just fuck it. right?" tzuyu was shocked, was there something wrong in her sentence?

"why are you acting like nothing had have happened? oh well fuck me for being drunk. but everything i said last night was true!" 

the latter had no clue on what he was saying. but.. why is he mad? she's only talking about her quitting the drama.

"how can you be so dense? when i'm in-love with you!" 

and that's the initiative for jungkook to walk-out leaving the girl shocked.
