Just Roommates

10.

The new day brings about a new aspiration. That morning, you finally decide to take Namjoon aka RM up in his offer to work out at his gym. It's a good distraction; something her mind and body desperately need right now.  RM is helping her through some weights training exercises and in between sets, both of them begin to open up and talk about their lives.

"So, Jennie. How are you liking Seoul so far?" Rm ask her.

"Especially the job hunting part. I guess when everyone is fighting over the same piece of meat, it's bound to be harder to actually get your share." She admit.

"That's true. But don't lose hope. There's enough for everyone who's willing to stick it out. And you don't look like someone who gives up easily." RM says with smile.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence. Namjoon."

"Ok course."

Her mind suddenly goes back to the bed thing that has been bugging her since yesterday- the date of her parents marriage.  She contemplate whetted to share this with RM.

I feel like I can trust him. Plus, I really need to cut if out of my mind.

"Hm, Namjoon, can I ask you something?"

"Sure. Ask away."

"What would you do if you find out that your parents were cheating on each other? Sorry if this sounds random. I just found out that my parents are sleeping with other people." Jennie lower her head while asking. It hurt.

"Honestly, I think it wouldn't even matter to me. They can do whatever the hell they want with their lives..."

"Really?"

"..yeah, really. But I bit bummed out when that happened to me because I was still a kid then.. I remember when my parents started to live separately- I was in 6th grade. It was confusing for a kid at that age." He says.

"I'm sorry to hear that. How are they doing now? Did they manage to work things out?"

"Oh, they were dead before they got the chance to work on their marriage."

"On my god, Namjoon! Why didn't you tell me that earlier? Now I feel bad for asking the question.. I'm so sorry.."

"Eh, don't bez it is what it is."

"That's so said..Namjoon." She was at a loser for how to proceed with the conversation.

"Don't you want to know?" RM ask her.

"Know what?!"

"How my parents died?"

"What?!!!" Jennie was so schooled to even listen that he wanted to tell her. "I'm intrigued.. but I didn't think it'd be appropriate to ask.."

"Okay, I thought you just weren't interested. They fell out of a roller coaster in the midst of having one of their fights. You can say that they fell out of attraction, get it?"

"Are you pulling me leg?" Jennie rolled her eyes.

"Nope, absolutely not. They actually kept their wedding vows in the end ' until death. do us part' "

" wow ..just wow. I don't  know how to react to that the death was very tragic. And that must have been traumatising for you as child.."

"It turned out okay. So far."

" given what you went to through, you turned out better than I would have expected good for You."

"Thanks, Jennie" the two of them exchange warm smiles. In the moment, she feel very connected to RM.
