Magical 19

"Jimin, can you pick me up? My phone's almost dying," Seokjin texted after leaving Jungkook's shop.

Just as Seokjin left, a strong storm began to brew. Unfortunately, his car broke down at the same time. He tried calling Jimin, but due to the thunderstorm, the signal was unstable.

"Jinnie, can you tell me where you are staying so we can fetch you?" Jimin asked, concerned. Seokjin looked around, trying to locate a familiar landmark.

Jimin arrived in the area along with Namjoon.

"Joonie, call the toll service. I'm going to drive Seokjin to his apartment," Namjoon said, noticing Seokjin's soaked and distressed state. Jimin covered Seokjin with a blanket to keep him warm.

As Jimin served Seokjin a chicken noodle soup, Seokjin poured out his heart, recounting everything from the kiss in the shop to the confrontation with Jungkook, including Jungkook's avoidance, his impending move to Busan, and his upcoming marriage to Taehyung.

"Jinnie, as your best friend, I really want to smack some sense into you," Jimin scoffed, feeling both pity and frustration for Seokjin. "You're getting married to Taehyung, and yet you're still chasing after Jungkook."

"I know, I'm stupid," Seokjin admitted, his voice dull. "I hope Jungkook will stop my marriage."

"Jinnie, this is complicated. Are you still attached to Jungkook? Do you love him?" Jimin asked, holding Seokjin's hands. Seokjin gripped the towel tightly and began to sob, and Jimin felt a wave of sadness for his best friend.

Just as Jimin was about to comfort Seokjin further, the doorbell rang.

"Have a rest. Probably, Jonnie is here," Jimin said, walking towards the door. As he opened it, Jimin was surprised to see Hoseok holding bento boxes and Taehyung carrying plastic bags of groceries.

"Baby," Namjoon kissed Jimin, while Jimin's gaze shifted to Taehyung and Hoseok. "Oh, Taehyung called me. I told him that Seokjin's phone died, so I asked them to come here. I also informed them that Seokjin was sick."

"I called Seokjin many times. I got worried, so I called Namjoon," Taehyung explained.

Hoseok smiled. "Also, Namjoon said Seokjin was sick, so we brought hotpot. I cooked seaweed soup for him." Jimin turned to Namjoon and replied with an uncomfortable smile. Namjoon had lied to Taehyung and Hoseok about Seokjin's true situation, wanting to avoid any complications between Taehyung and Seokjin's relationship, especially as they were about to get married.

"Yeah, come in. Seokjin is just resting in his bed," Jimin invited them inside.

"Jinnie, Taehyung, and Hoseok are here," Jimin announced, waking Seokjin from his slumber. Taehyung immediately went to Seokjin's bedside and placed his palm on Seokjin's forehead to check for any sign of fever.

"Baby, what happened?" Taehyung asked, worried, pulling Seokjin into his chest.

"I-" Seokjin tried to answer but couldn't.

"Ah... Seokjin met our suppliers and got caught in the rain. Unfortunately, his car broke down. Good thing he texted his location before his phone died," Jimin explained, even though it was a complete lie. Taehyung nodded.

"Don't work yourself too much. The time you didn't answer my call, I got worried that something bad happened to you. Thank God," Taehyung said, relieved. Seokjin agreed, feeling guilty about lying to Taehyung. Meanwhile, Hoseok observed the situation, sensing that something wasn't right. He didn't know why or what.

Jimin noticed Hoseok's observation.

"Ah, I guess Seokjin needs rest," Jimin interjected, nudging Namjoon.

"Yeah, he needs rest," Namjoon agreed.

"Hoseok, let's go. We need to leave the couple for cuddles," Jimin said, dragging Hoseok away, followed by Namjoon.

"Seokjin, are you feeling better? No worries. I will take care of you while you're sick," Taehyung said lovingly, wiping away Seokjin's tears. "Is there something wrong or hurt, Seokjin? Are you crying?"

Seokjin smiled, but behind those smiles, guilt was eating him alive. Taehyung was the definition of a perfect man that every woman could ask for, and that made his guilt increase more. Taehyung was a perfect husband, while Jungkook was the man he loved the most.

"I'm alright, Taehyungie. Just cuddle me and sip some warm soup," Seokjin replied, his voice filled with a hint of sadness.

Hoseok prepared dinner since the storm was expected to last through the night. He heard Namjoon and Jimin calling their twin daughter and son. Hoseok fondly watched the couple kiss the phone for their twins.

"I miss my little Jiwon and Nam Nam," Jimin groaned.

"Stop sobbing. I already called eomma, and she said both twins are enjoying their grandparents' company. They understand since the storm is coming," Namjoon assured his wife. Jimin pouted sadly.

Hoseok felt a pang of envy, wishing he had a family of his own. His workaholic lifestyle had made it impossible for him to have one.

"It smells so good," Taehyung came downstairs from Seokjin's room.

"How's Jinnie?" Jimin asked Taehyung.

"He's had a slight fever. I told him to get some rest and drink medicine," Taehyung answered, then gazed at the food prepared by Hoseok.

"Wow, bulgogi. You're the best cook, Hoseok," Taehyung smiled at Hoseok, who signed coldly in response.

"Let's eat," Hoseok said in a lame tone.

Meanwhile, Jungkook was not himself. Habeom nudged him several times, noticing his constant missed shots of other important artists, even as they drove back. Jungkook's mood was in a dull state.

"Hyung, are you alright? You seem off," Habeom asked while driving. Jungkook leaned on the car window, watching the rain pour.

"I'm alright, Habeom," Jungkook replied in an unmotivated tone.

"Yeah, keep watching the rain while I'm struggling for an hour of traffic," Habeom grumbled, annoyed and honking his horn. Jungkook's mind was filled with his conversation with Seokjin.

"Habeom, do you want to drink?" Habeom frowned at Jungkook's question.

"To warm ourselves from the cold rain and..." Jungkook chuckled softly, making Habeom smile uncomfortably at his boss. "Also to forget your burden." Habeom nodded, understanding his boss's struggles and problems.

The next day, Taehyung was smiling while typing on his computer. Hoseok frowned, curious about Taehyung's happiness.

"What's the reason for the happy face today?" Hoseok asked, taking a document from his file.

"Well, I'm planning something," Taehyung replied, still happily typing and reading some papers.

Hoseok held his pen and turned to look at Taehyung. "Are you serious?" he asked in a lame tone.

"Yes, I'm going to announce it," Taehyung said, standing up and patting Hoseok on the shoulder.

"When?" Hoseok asked.

"Wait for my announcement at the Kim's Manor on Sunday," Taehyung giggled, leaving Hoseok speechless.
