REAL LIFE【YoonSeok】

🖤 FORTY SEVEN

Jin's POV:

It's been a month since Yoongi and Hoseok have been disappeared. Namjoon is doing everything to find them. Now hope is our only option.

Not to worry about them much, I keep myself busy. My job is going good. I have saved some money now. It's not much but I can pay rent and manage food stuff. I haven't bought single new clothes since I left Namjoon. He used to pamper me with clothes, jewelry and accessories. And even though sometimes I miss those things, I can never go back to my old life as a slave.

I look at the cash in my hand. Even though I need money, I have been putting some aside to return them to Namjoon. The day I ran away from the house, I had "borrowed" some cash but now that I am earning, I want to give it back to him. I don't want to owe him anything. How can I call myself independent if I use money from him? Even though we were in relationship then- if that's what it can be called?, we are not now.

I take my bag and lock my room. I walk towards the bus stop. First, I am planning to meet Namjoon to return his money then I am meeting someone. Yes I have a date!

Even though I get hardly anytime for dating, I still wanna try. It's my real life now, I wanna date new people. I never had done that. Namjoon had bought me and ever since I always considered my master as my lover. But now I wanna see if I can date like a regular person.

As I reach the restaurant I call Namjoon who tells me he's almost reached at the spot. So I sit across one table and drink water waiting for him. In 5 mins, Namjoon arrives. I haven't spoken to him since two weeks and haven't met him for long time now. I am liking that he has finally accepted my decision and our new dynamics.

"Hello! How's it going?" He asks as he sits in front of me. He looks still handsome as he was. His body still fit. I take out an envelope and place in front of him. "I'm returning your money" I say. He looks at the envelope but doesn't take it. "Jin you don't have to. My money was yours as well. I don't mind"

"I will feel good if you just accept it and not make a deal out of it, please" I say tired of even speaking of past.

He sighs loudly as he picks up the envelope. "Is that all?" He asks. "Any news about-"

"No" he gets up. "I'll leave first then" he says bowing and already leaving. "Namjoon..."

He stops but doesn't look back. "Thank you" I say for accepting this new dynamics and giving me chance to make my own decisions. He doesn't say anything and leaves.

I sit there again and as I check time. This guy at the place where I work has been flirting with me for a while now. He finally asked me out yesterday so I want to try dating. It will help me keep my mind out of worrying about hoseok for a while.

Hoseok's pov:

I stare at the road as I am sitting in back of the truck. Villagers arranged some accommodations for us. Yoongi is sitting by my side. "Did you get to contact them yet?" I ask.

"Truck driver as cellphone but we will get the service after we enter Gimpank area. I'll call then" he says.

I nod and close my eyes. I wanna get some sleep. But as soon as I sleep, flashbacks appear in front of my eyes. I am holding on to the tree and before I slip, I hear words. Words spoken by Taehyung and Jungkook. I am not exactly sure but it seemed like it was all Jungkook's plan? And Taehyung loves him so I don't know if he knew about it. Rage and hurt feels me. So I failed to trust someone? I am so mad at both of them. I thought they are my friends. I am so stupid. Maybe it was better when I was just a slave. Maybe I am not suited to live this real life.

A hand lies on my shoulder. I look up at yoongi. "Still suffering from PTSD ?" He asks. I look at him dumbfounded. "Still remembering what happened that day, am I right?" I nod as yes.

"Come here" he pulls me closer. I burry my head in his embrace. He strokes my head as he holds me tightly. "Everything is okay now" he says and I feel protected.

Namjoon's pov:

I walk out of the restaurant leaving Jin alone. As soon as I sit in my car, I receive a call from unknown number. I pick up and it's Yoongi!!!!
I have so much questions. But I try to listen to him first. He says he and hoseok both are okay and coming back! I sigh in relief. He said I call back to this number for now and he also tell me location where I can go pick them.

I get out of my car in happiness! I hope Jin is still at the restaurant. I ran inside again to tell him this news! "Jin Jin!!! You know what-"

I freeze up as I see him sitting with some other guy. "What happened Namjoon?" He asks getting up from the sit, facing me. "Umm...Yoongi called...they are fine" I say as I side eye the other guy. He looks tall and dressed well. Is he on a date?!

"Really?!?! And hoseok???? Is hoseok also okay???"

"Yes they both are okay! They are coming back mostly tomorrow night"

As soon as I end my sentence, he jumps and hugs me in both excitement and relief. "Thank god! Thank god they are fine...omggg...thank you so much Namjoon..."

I stand still as he wraps his arms around me. I smell his scent and it gives me so many emotions. I miss him so much. I love him so much.

"I am gonna go tomorrow to pick them up" I say as he releases me. "Can I come with you?"

"Off course" I say. I look at the stranger with my Jin once again. He looks confused. "I will call you later to discuss about tomorrow" I say and I walk out of there.
