The Past In The Present - JIKOOK

Chapter 27

Jungkook's POV

I couldn't sleep all night, my thoughts are occupied with the words that Jimin told me, and the words that Mr. Seongjong told me. I am on my wits end, I close my eyes, tears streaming down my face. I should go back, yes i'm going. I slowly with quiet steps get out of the house, but I see Mr. Sung-hoo already in the garden. He comes closer to me.

"Jungkook, boy, where are you going? Is everything okay?" Mr. Sung-hoo asks me.

"Mr. Sung-hoo, thank you for your hospitality and welcoming me in your home, but I have to go." I say and ran towards my horse, and hear Mr. Sung-hoo say "Wait, Jungkook-aa. JIMIN, Jungkook is going." Than I hear Jimin's voice and he keeps running after me saying "JUNGKOOK!"

I quickly got on my horse, and hear Jimin getting on his horse following me.

He manages to catch me, saying "Jungkook, please. Don't go. What I am going to do without you?"

"You will do whatever you were doing before you met me. How are we going to face each other from now on?" I say, while he still follows me.

"I never loved anybody before I met you." Jimin says.

"Enough, stop talking." I say, going faster. I hear him galloping, and going in front of. I quickly managed to stop.

"ARE YOU CRAZY?" I screamed.

"Jungkook! When you are not by my side, nature is like a flower that withers because there is no more sun. But when I'm with you, the water I drink, the food I eat, the dream I dream, the trees and the clouds, everything is different, everything is so beautiful. Even death." Jimin says.

I keep silent, processing every word he said, I'm crying inside. I raise my head to look at him.

"I love you, Jungkook. Even if you don't love me. Even if you hate me. I love you." Jimin says.

I listened every word he said, I didn't know what to say. I don't want to hurt him, since we met he was always so good to me, all the moments we spend together. I definitely feel something for him.

"Jimin, I..." I stop, taking a breath "Let me sort all my thoughts in my mind, I will reach out to you, okay? Just let me think about, okay?" I said.

He gives me his usual smile of comfort and says "Of course, Jungkook. Take all the time you need, I'll wait."

I give him a small smile, my eyes are red from crying and said softly "I am going to go back."

"You don't have to go, you're welcome here." Jimin says.

"It's okay, you spend some time with your father and uncle, I will go." I said.

Jimin nods understanding me and says "Alright, stay safe. See you."

"See you. Bye." I said, looking at him once again before I turn and signal my horse to go.

After a few moments of riding a horse slow, I started galloping faster.

.

I came to the place where our wracked spaceship still is. I came to think how my life took a turning point, in one moment I was in my house playing video games with my friends and in the other moment my world collapsed and brought me here. I feel anger, sadness, but I am also feeling happier and lighter when Jimin is by my side. Wish we could've met at another time and place, I wish I could hold all the aces.

I got startled by familiar voice "Jungkook-aa!!" It's Namjoon's voice, I turn my head and see my friends. I quickly wipe my eyes from tears, so they don't notice. They come closer to me.
