Chapter 15

📞: Hey, are you at Uncle's house?

Jimin's hurried and eager voice startled Jungkook. Without even a 'Hello' he threw a direct question! Jungkook wasn’t really in the mood to talk to Jimin. Why hadn’t he ever mentioned that Taehyungie hyung had someone he liked, a girlfriend? A wave of heavy disappointment toward his best friend weighed down Jungkook’s heart. He replied in a calm voice,

"Yes."

From the other side, Jimin’s voice became even more energetic,

📞: You went to Uncle's house with hyung, and you didn’t tell me? Why? You’ve become so distant, Jungkookie. If I hadn't talked to Y/N noona, I would’ve never known. Would you have even told me?

"You also hid things from me. You didn’t tell me Taehyungie hyung has someone he likes."

It was as if lightning had struck Jimin on the other side. Jungkook's ears were on the verge of ringing from Jimin's exclamation.

📞: WHAT?! YOU FOUND OUT?!

"Yes. Your Taehyung hyung is taking me to meet his future wife today, the one he likes. What am I supposed to do there? I’m not going to be a third wheel!"

📞: It’s a blessing that you're gonna get to meet our hyung's bride before anyone else. Tae hyung's future wi—

"Haven’t you guys already met her?"

📞: I’ve seen it a thousand times in hyung’s eyes, the love my icy cold hyung has for that one dumbass.

As soon as Jimin’s words, almost like a melody, reached Jungkook’s ears, it felt like the roof of his heart began to leak, and a steady rain started falling inside, nonstop. That morning at the breakfast table, hearing about Taehyung’s marriage had already settled a deep, unknown sadness inside him. With a sinking voice, Jungkook asked,

"What’s that person is like?"

Immediately, Jimin’s proud tone reached him,

📞: If Taehyung hyung is a diamond, then he/she’s gold. That’s probably why hyung wants her/him so much, though he never says it.

Jungkook’s voice was filled with sorrow,

"Oh. But why are you not telling me, is that person a male or female omega?! Even though I already know huff!"

📞: Yeah, you already know. Now tell me, how do you feel hearing about hyung’s marriage?

Jungkook abruptly hung up the phone. Otherwise, the words would have spilled out, "I feel awful, absolutely terrible."

Knowing that Taehyung has someone he loves, a wife, should undoubtedly make Jungkook happy for him. But why does it feel so painful? A subtle ache had pierced through his chest. Everyone knew Taehyung had someone he loved, so why didn’t Jungkook? Was it because he hadn’t paid enough attention? He tried to reason with himself, thinking,

"I’ve been getting hurt and embarrassed since childhood, maybe that’s why a little bit of melancholy has shown up." 

Once Taehyung has a wife, would he even be interested in Jungkook anymore? Then Jungkook would be free, living an independent life. He would happily go to meet Taehyung’s wife, maybe even learn a dance in advance. Jungkook was great at dancing. If needed, he could convince his Yoongi hyung to let him shop in Seoul for the wedding feast. And after that, he’d be free. On the day of Taehyung’s wedding, he’d declare it "JUNGKOOK’S INDEPENDENCE DAY." Everything was perfectly planned in his mind, absolutely spectacular.

Now it was time for execution.

But Jungkook’s grand plans faced an obstacle within minutes. The heart on the left side of his chest began to betray it's owner, beating wildly. Everywhere Jungkook looked, it felt like Taehyung was standing there with a bottle of poison, ready to say, "Here, drink this and die. I don’t like your attitude. If you try to stop my wedding? So before that first say goodbye to the world."
