The Binding Angel || Tzukook

Epilogue 6

"Hello, Tzuyu-ssi. I can't go home tonight. I have a sudden meeting." he said with his phone in his ear. He sat on the chair beside Tzuyu's mother's bed slowly not making a sound.

"Oh. it's fine, daepyo-nim. I will get a sleepover." She replied calmly as it slowly turned to be a habit that Tzuyu went to the apartment for a sleepover.

"Thank you, Tzuyu-ssi." he hangs up the phone fast and looks at Tzuyu's mother's face.

"I am sorry, Eomonim. I make her overworked again." he smiled lightly at her.

"I think Tzuyu would be at the safest in your place, other than being alone in the house." she chuckled.

"I think you will scold me." he exhaled his breath making a sign that he was relieved.

"Yah.. you are still being nosy to her. But, it is strange that she doesn't recognize you. Is she stupid?" She laughed seeing her daughter's response.

"She is not stupid, Eomonim. She is innocent," he said with his flush red face.

"Aigooo... You love her that much. Go get her then." she supported him. He handed a slice of apple from her bedside table to her.

"I will, Eomo-nim. But I am still scared to face her," he remembered the way he broke his promise and also almost marry to Seonhwa.

"I understand. It might be hard for you and her to meet after that long with your drastic change. Slowly, take your time, Son." she said casually.

"Oh no. Jeon Jungkook Daepyo-nim." she added teasing him.

"Eomonim." he laughed with her.

He would gladly spend his time in the hospital with her mother. It was the only way to develop their relationship deeper. He wanted to make Tzuyu being comfortable, living in his apartment before he started to make a move. He wanted to make Tzuyu get used to him like in the past before he can hug her as a whole.

He went home after passing the limited time of visitors in the hospital. It was almost past midnight when he reached his apartment. He entered slowly not making any sound, knowing that Yeojin and Tzuyu must be asleep. He put his tie, suit, and bag on the sofa lightly and went inside Yeojin's bedroom carefully.
It was his habit back then to see Yeojin's face before he got to sleep. However, it was added by Tzuyu's appearance. He smiled lightly seeing her laptop remained open. He took a look at the screen which showed a written story by her. When he got much time and didn't get too tired he would read it in silence. However, her diary was the most interesting one. The diary told her as the main character of the story. It wasn't a story but her unspoken feeling. The deepest feeling was written in neat handwriting.

He took Yeojin's small chair and sat not making any sound. He closed the laptop after shutting it down and he reached for a diary beside the laptop. The purple-covered diary she wrote.

He read each line meticulously and it twitched his heart. He succeeded in making her loving to his new appearance. But, he was also making her confused with her feeling. She told the story of her meeting with him and Yeojin. It was well-written by her. He didn't get bored reading the diary for a time. Because it still made him flutter. He was happy but also sad at the same time. Reading her diary made him want to confess that he was her Oppa. On the other hand, he didn't know how to start when she was scared looking at his eyes. He wanted her to drop her formality to him. He wanted her to call him by his name which might slowly make her drop off her formality.

Yeojin's sudden whine took him back to reality. He closed the diary and put it back fast and reached for Yeojin in silence. He sat on the bedside slowly not making a massive movement and started patting Yeojin's back slowly who was sleeping on the near the wall side of the bed. Yeojin who was sleeping on the side near the way that makes his thigh touched her back when he was sitting.

"Shhhhh....shhhhh..." he soothed Yeojin and she stopped whining in a second. On the other hand, Tzuyu was still in deep sleep beside Yeojin. He was mesmerized by her beauty and frozen looking at her.

He didn't even imagine this view will be in his apartment. The diary took him into deep thought.

"What should I do?" he mumbled in a low voice.

"Can I even start?" he wiped a strain of her hair that covered her face slowly. He went to her closer slowly, and he kissed her temple.

"I am sorry. I am here," he whispered in the hope she would understand his existence as her past Oppa.
