The Past In The Present - JIKOOK

Chapter 40

Seokjin's POV

I am currently on the date with Namjoon. We are taking a walk along side each other on the Riverside Park. It's a beautiful park, and it's sunny even though it's cold, so that's great. I am eating my snow cone, my favorite Bananaberry. It's 50% banana, the other 50% is strawberry. Namjoon just bought for himself a green tea.

Today is Monday, so Namjoon picked me up from university and took me here to this beautiful park. We didn't see each on the Saturday when all that happened in the Madison Square Garden, Namjoon was worried for Jungkook and Taehyung so he drove there too. I know this because we called each other that night and talked for an hour, just about that. I also said to him how Hoseok and Jimin also rushed there in panic. So now we continue to talk about what happened on the Saturday while we walk.

"You should've seen it, Namjoon. The worry on their face when the shooting started, at the beginning of the match, all three of us thought all of you would be there since you were all invited, but you explained to me later on the phone, Yoongi and you were caught up in some work." I said. 

"Would you also rush there if I was there...hmm?" Namjoon asked, trying to lift the mood a little.

When he asked me that, I felt redness/heat on my cheeks a little bit.

"I would...." I say and turn my head away from his gaze, while I hear him chuckling a little. Gosh, his laugh is so cute.

Than our talk has switched and took a turn about our past relationships, first kisses and stuff like that. Actually there isn't much to talk to, I had one relationship and a couple of flirts in university over the years, but nothing serious. Talking about this stuff, made me think of Jimin and Jungkook, actually more about Jungkook's late husband Ryan. Love must've been very special between Jungkook and Ryan that they married at such a young age and actually had a long term relationship. Just hope Jungkook healed and is not using Jimin as a rebound or something, Jimin likes him a lot and I don't want Jungkook to hurt him. But I am not worried for Jimin, Jimin can be pretty savage and has such intelligence that your mind stops working. He is very great with words, and people just fall for him at the first sight. And the most important of all, Jimin is very kind and protective for the people he loves.

"I am really happy for all of us, how we formed a friendship between all of us and crushes..." I said that "crushes", it's a little cringe, but sweet.

"I am glad too, my crush." Namjoon said, teasing me a little with "my crush", but we both share a soft laugh.

"No, Seokjin-aa. I am really glad to, even though you and me are still at the beginning, but Hoseok, Taehyung and Jimin, Jungkook are going really strong. Maybe it's faith." Namjoon says.

"Yeah, maybe. Namjoon?" I ask him.

"Hmm?" He says, nudging me to continue.

"Is Jungkook really serious about Jimin? I mean, don't get me wrong. I am really happy for them, but does Jungkook still loves his husband and..." I didn't even had time to finish it, when Namjoon kind of had a weird reaction, kind of was surprised.

"Wait, he TOLD HIM About..." Namjoon wanted to say Jimin, but thank God he didn't, because Seokjin cut him on time.

"About his husband Ryan, you mean, yeah. Why wouldn't he tell him?" I asked shocked. I saw Namjoon widen his eyes for a little bit, but only for a second.

"No, no. I was just surprised. Jungkook really doesn't like to share that much of what happened in his life and with his husband, so I was shocked." Namjoon said.

"Well, if you're meaning to get into a serious relationship with someone, I think that is important detail. Don't you think?" I said.

"Well, yeah. Of course." Namjoon said.
