The Unexpected (Namkook)

Part 25

Do-guk and Sang-mi exchanged glances to realise how important this Jungkook might have been to their son and disapproving him of meeting with Namjoon would be of no help to save their son from this falsely framed image.

"He's waiting outside for last several hours, Joonie. Do you want to meet him?"

Namjoon's eyes got widened at the news of his beloved waiting for him. All the pain in his body felt insignificant in front of the contentment to have Jungkook by his side. His heart cried for resting in the familiar embrace of that one person he needs the most right now.

"Why didn't you let him in?" His eyes burst into tears asking to his parents.
"He gathered some evidence based upon which they arrested you, Joonie. You still want to meet him?" Do-guk was confused at the undaunted faith his son was having on the police office whom he insulted and threatened few hours back.

"He came to talk to me in the morning, dad. I'm sure there's something and I blindly trust him. Please! Just let me see him." Namjoon folded his hands in front of them, growing impatient without caring about the bandages on his arms.

Getting defeated at the hands of his son's happiness, Do-guk got up from the bed to the downstairs while Namjoon kept crying in his mother's arms.

"He's asking for you."

Jungkook almost dozed off crying in front of the Kim's house. A violent shake on his shoulder woke him up, making him slurping back the drool escaping his mouth.

"I should tell him you are a coward who fell asleep while he kept shedding tears for you."
These words worked like the final chime of alarm and the next instance, Jungkook was standing straight on his feet with red nose and tired eyes.
"Please don't! I won't take much time. I just need to talk to him."

Sung-ho turned and walked back into the house in silence, leaving the front door open. Reading the sign, Jungkook rushed in and followed the man to the upstairs. As Do-guk entered into a room, the other's body got all its energy vacuumed out at the scene of an injured boy crying on his mother's shoulder with several bandages on his arms. The face wasn't visible yet due to the younger back facing the door.

He lost the sense to initiate a locomotion of his body in order to reach up to the boy who happens to be the most important person in his life. Just staring at the sobbing figure, he almost lost his balance. Do-guk was quick to catch him by the arms.

"He needs you to be strong, not a weakling who can't protect him."

The commitment Jungkook had for Namjoon was the only cause of him getting weak at the pain of the later. This wasn't an unknown fact to Do-guk but he wanted Jungkook to be stronger for his son, to extend a strong hand in his time of need and not get carried out by the same misery.

Jungkook wiped his eyes and with the sleeves of his shirt and walked with slow steps towards the bed. Sang-mi nodded her head gesturing him to come forward. As he reached the bedside, Sang-mi pushed Namjoon off the hug placing a peck on his forehead.

"There's someone to meet you, Joonie."

She managed to put a smile to cheer the boy and he looked over his shoulders to find the person he wants to be with for the rest of his life.
"I will be in the kitchen if you need me." She walked out of the room pulling her husband by the wrist.

After a moment of confused eye contact, Jungkook sat on edge of the bed and extended his hand to hold Namjoon's. Before the hands could be joined, the younger hugged him tightly by the neck, hiding his face on Jungkook's shoulder. The elder immediately pulled the boy with his arms around the back and waist.

"I didn't do anything."
"I know, Namjoon. Just trust me and I will save you from everything that's unfair. I love you so much."

They had their eyes closed with tears streaming down and running noses. Jungkook heard a little groan in between the sobs that made him break the embrace and check on the bandaged arms of Namjoon.
"I will find out the truth before your wounds get healed. That's a promise."

Getting panicked at the increasing pain of his loved one, Jungkook pulled him closer gently and connected their lips. It was a gentle kiss with the two pairs of lips moving in sync until the elder decided to take a next step. He turned it to a more passionate one by involving the tongue to which Namjoon just followed.

At the moment, the presence of Namjoon's parents in the same house was deliberately forgotten to pour love on the boy. Jungkook wanted to make him feel loved and cared for with no other intention in his heart that only had the boy's picture painted in the most colourful shades.

Breaking the kiss for access to air, he showered kisses on Namjoon's face with a soft one on the lips at last. As his eyes fell on the wounded hands, he stroke his fingers above the bandages with light pecks on them making the boy's lips curve up to a small and cute smile. 

"I love you too, Jungkook."

"I knew I have found the right one this time."

The lips reconnected and the strong arms were locked around the weak body with conveyance of feelings from one heart to another.
