His Sanctuary [Jikook]

Chapter 40

3RD PERSON

The sunlight filtered through the windows, casting a warm glow on the man that sat in a chair, his focus immersed on the book in his hand. He doesn't like reading. It's usually Jimin's kind of thing, but he was bored, so he figured he should keep some time going by reading a little. The silence in the room is broken by the soft rustling of pages as he skips over from page to page. He sighs, rolling his eyes. A cigar rested on the ashtray, half smoked. He smiles a little at the book.

"This is what he reads? How tacky." He chuckles as his eyes have intense focus.

"... Oh, that is kinda romantic. Should I do something like this for him? No, be original Jungkook." He shakes his head as be says. A small smile plays on his face as he imagines a certain scene in his head. That shiny ring on Jimin's finger, he just can't wait to put it on. He hopes that when the time comes, Jimin will say yes.

"Kookie?"

He turns fast at the name being called, only his Jimin calls him like that. He looks at the male that stands in front of him, skinny jeans hugging his body, a tight top that rests right above his belly button, showing the piercing on it.

"It's Jungkook to you, Ha-joon." The taller says, then shifts his focus back to the book. Right this instant, he can't help but wish that the smaller was with him. He knows he would have e quickly put the other to his place.

"Right... sorry, Jungkook. Uhm... where's Jimin?" Ha-joon asks, sitting on the couch and staring at the perfect man that sat in front of him, paying absolutely no attention to him, rather reading a book.

"Out with Nayeon." The taller states, not even bothering to look at Ha-joon who had sat opposite him. The other nods in understanding.

"So, are you guys really leaving tomorrow? We were still enjoying having you around here." Ha-joon says, half a smile plastered on his face as he looks at Jungkook. The taller just shrugs and continues reading, ignoring the one talking to him.

"But, Jungkook, this is your home. Don't go. Stay here, your home, where you grew up, where all our memories are." Ha-joon suggests, his eyes with a spark of hope that Jungkook would listen to him. The taller glances at him and chuckles.

"Speaking of homes, why don't you go home? Not to be rude, but don't you feel like you've overstayed your welcome?" Jungkook asks, Ha-joon hangs his head low in embarrassment. He was not expecting those words.

"I will go, it's just... my apartment is still being renovated. So, anyway... what are you reading here?" Ha-joon stands up and takes steps to where Jungkook is sitting. He plops down right beside him, and his eyes peek at the book, reading a little.

"You're into romance books? That's so not like you." Ha-joon giggles as his eyes look at Jungkook's side profile. He looks at the jawline, so sharp he could probably cut apples with it, his beautiful eyes blinking with every few seconds that passed as he read the book. Ha-joon blushes and plays with his fingers. He can't believe that 'his' Jungkook grew to be such a handsome, powerful, and respected man.

"It's Jimin's favorite book, so I was just checking it out." The taller explains, and Ha-joon's blush is immediately washed away.

"Jimin... of course. It's always Jimin." Ha-joon mumbles in disappointment and a slight hint of anger. Jungkook wishes to say something, but he stops himself. He doesn't want to entertain this man.

"Gosh... you're so tall and handsome now. I remember back then I was taller than you, and you were such a crybaby. I always had to fight off bullies for you." Ha-joon says.

"I was in kindergarten." Jungkook mutters while rolling his eyes.

"Ah well, even for a kid, you were very weak, but now you're so different. You're everything I've ever wanted in a guy, even back then... I always had this huge crush on you, praying that you would notice me instead of those girls who kept throwing themselves at you. I was sure you were not gay. How did you and Jimin happen? Did he use a love spell on you? Haha." Ha-joon laughs it out, but instead of a laugh, Jungkook's glare is all he gets. The taller seems annoyed, pissed off.
