Revealed Feelings

Chapter 14

JK POV

After I left Jin hyung in bed, properly taken care of, I went to my room. Half of me feels guilty for lying to him, and the other half is euphoric about what we did together. Him surrendering to his true desires makes me want to scream with joy.

All that action made me hungry, so I went downstairs to the kitchen. The house was dark and quiet. The other members are probably already asleep. I entered the kitchen, turned on the light, and when I opened the fridge, I heard a voice behind me, "Jungkook."

I turned around quickly, my heart racing from the surprise, and saw that it was Yoongi hyung. He started laughing when he saw me startled.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

I took a deep breath, now also finding the situation funny. "It's okay, hyung. You caught me off guard."

"Can't sleep?" he asked as he opened the cabinet to grab something to eat.

" I'm just hungry..." I said with a mischievous smile, remembering the scenes from a few moments ago.

He closed the fridge door and looked at me. His gaze was intense and somewhat enigmatic, and for a moment, I felt like he could read my mind, as if he knew what had just happened between us. "Hmm... want a sandwich then?" he said in a soft tone.

"I don't want to bother you, hyung..." I replied.

"You're not bothering, I was about to make one for myself too..." he said, grabbing the ingredients and placing them on the countertop.

"Then I'll accept!" I said with a smile, clapping my hands.

I sat in front of him at the counter and watched as he prepared the sandwiches.
"So, how was it with Jin hyung?" he asked, breaking the silence while preparing the ingredients.

"A rollercoaster of emotions..." I admitted, not wanting to hide my feelings.

"I heard the yelling..." he said as he now beat the eggs to make an omelet.

My eyes widened. "You could hear everything?" I took a deep breath, adjusting myself in the chair.

"What do you mean everything?" he stopped stirring the bowl and raised an eyebrow.

"From the argument to the moans..." I innocently replied.

"Moans?" Now it was his turn to widen his eyes.

I gave a mischievous smile, and he immediately responded,
"Spare me the sordid details..."

I shrugged, and he continued, "But tell me, what happened?"

"After we talked at the cafeteria, I went back to the dance studio and continued my training with Mung-te. After that, I received a message from Bang-PD calling me to his office. When I got there, I met with some of the CEOs from Hybe USA. We started discussing the release of my new album, that was when Jin hyung called me."
I explained as I grabbed the plates and placed them on the counter so that Yoongi hyung could put the sandwiches on them.

"He seemed nervous, and I thought something had happened. I managed to get out of the meeting by saying that Jin hyung was feeling unwell, and I was going home to take care of him. I called our driver, and he took me home. He even took a shortcut he knew to make the ride shorter. As soon as he parked the car in the garage, my phone rang. At first, I thought it was Jin hyung, but when I picked up the phone, it was my mother. She was calling me on a video call to show that the gift I had ordered for her had arrived."
I continued while now taking the juice from the fridge and the glasses from the cabinet, placing them on the table so we could eat.

The sandwiches were ready, and we sat at the table. I thanked him for the meal and continued narrating the situation.
"I went upstairs talking to her, and when I entered my room, I got scared. Jin hyung opened the door forcefully and started yelling at me. Luckily, my mother was distracted and didn't hear anything. I managed to hang up with her, and that's when the argument started..."

"I came home along with Jin hyung, and as he went to his room, I went to mine to take a shower. Luckily, when you started arguing, only Hobi and I were home. So we warned the other members not to come home until things calmed down," Yoongi hyung explained as he took a few bites of the sandwich.

"Hmm... I understand..." I nodded as I chewed.

"But you mentioned moans... can I understand that you made up?" he said, taking a sip of the juice.

"The whole argument started because he accused me of lying to you about nothing happening between him and me. I think his ego was hurt, and he wanted to prove by all means that he's 'WorldWide unforgettable'," I said, laughing.

"So it worked!" Yoongi hyung replied with a satisfied smile.

"What worked?" I leaned forward on the table, curious.

"When you told me what happened between you two, I knew exactly which button to press.
His ego is one of the most evident traits of him, but it's also his biggest weakness," he continued. "So, knowing this, I went to the Genius Lab and told him that he had lied to me, that I had a talk with you, and you told me that nothing happened. The look of indignation on his face was priceless!" Yoongi hyung now laughed openly.

"I can imagine, Jin hyung has always had a big-dick-ego energy... So, it's easy to understand why he reacted that way." I responded with a smile.

Yoongi hyung nodded, still smiling. " Right?! I know it was wrong to do that to him but sometimes you need to put things into a new perspective, maybe in that way he starts to realize that not everything is as it seems. Anyway, you guys resolved the misunderstanding, right?"

"Well, when I explained my side of the situation, he got embarrassed, and tried to apologized to me, so I made him "apologize", if you know what I mean..." I explained with a mischievous smile.

Yoongi hyung pretended to retch when I said that. "SPARE MY SOUL"

We both laughed at Yoongi hyung's exaggerated reaction.
"Sorry, hyung, I couldn't resist," I said playfully.

"Well, at least you guys got together..." he said, still making a funny face.

"We're not together yet... unfortunately, he still hasn't made up his mind... but I confess I'm enjoying this 'friends with benefits' thing," I continued, now getting up from the table and going to the sink to wash the dishes.

"I understand... and what do you plan to do?" he approached, putting his plate next to mine to wash.

"I'll keep pushing all his buttons until he finally gives in and confesses his feelings for me," I said openly, revealing my plan.

"Are you sure about that? It's a one-way path, JK..." he pondered.

"I know, but I'll take the risk..." I nodded as I continued washing the remaining dishes.

"Well... I'm going to bed... let me know if you need help with him..." Yoongi hyung said, turning his back and heading to bed.

As Yoongi hyung walked away, I stayed there in the kitchen, immersed in my thoughts. I knew he was right, that I was on an irreversible path, and there was no way I could be friends with him again, nor could I forget what we had experienced together.

With the dishes cleaned, I went to my room to try to sleep. I knew I couldn't pressure him or force him to feel something he wasn't ready for.

But on the other hand, I am patient, and I don't mind waiting a little longer.
