Fake Love 《Jikook》

8: Final Chapter

After three days of extreme torture of self-neglect, Jeon Jeongguk decides on some healing.

Except the only source of healing he has is oceans away, in Germany with his credit card and spa card, so it is very safe to assume Jeongguk is in pain.

The first day went by with his head in the sheets trying to silence Hoseok’s nagging. After being met by negligence Hoseok decided to leave him alone.

The second day was somewhat better, he decided to go back to the studio but was approached by Yugyeom and Taehyung… being the nosy little shits they were. Jimin was nowhere to be seen, Jeongguk reckons he was lucky. So, after dodging his very annoying friends he took refuge in his dorm locking it from the inside to have time for himself.

The third day was painful. He has concluded. A rather late conclusion mind you, but better late than never.

Jeongguk loves Jimin.

He can’t place a finger on it at all – when the forbidden act occurred. Jeongguk is not the type of person to just fall in love without warning. Everything in his life comes from planning and careful thinking. There is absolutely nothing he hasn’t already decided on. He’s very closeted with his feelings keeping them only to himself so how come he just fell for Park Jimin?

Annoying Park Jimin – the carnivorous (well, herbivorous to be accurate) annoying bank balance diminisher.

Maybe it’s unfair to call Jimin that now since Jimin really has spent just as much on Jeongguk but it’s safe to point fingers even now. Or Jeongguk just needs to find an excuse to tell himself that he doesn’t necessarily have romantic feelings for a cute blonde who has a ridiculously sweet smile and amazing personality.

Screw it.

So, who helps the relationship guru with his emotional constipation? Clearly, not the traitor cousin who’s out touring the streets of Berlin.

Later that third day, he decided on some self-help.

So now he’s read countless shoujo mangas – Jimin wasn’t kidding these heroines are disgustingly selfish and horrendous. Jeongguk wants Touma for a bride.

He’s tried to watch cheesy romantic films – The Notebook did not make him cry, everyone is weak.

Annoyed with everything else he decided to go watch a Marvel film but not surprisingly Captain America just had to remind Jeongguk of Jimin and it was painful to say the least.

He’s upset at his decision to flee but what’s done is sadly done. Jeongguk just wants some cuddles and Hoseok and Taehyung are instantly cancelled.

Thus, on the fourth day here Jeongguk is. Outside Yoongi’s door. Only no one’s home.

The one-time Jeongguk needs someone… this is definitely karma.

Deciding that he’s come too far to just leave without a proper hug he takes a deep breath and takes the key from beneath the flower-pot Hoseok once told him about.

Once he goes in he’s honestly surprised to find a box of chocolates on the coffee table. The box has some red writing saying ‘Only-Suitable-For-Adults’ for whatever reason which makes Jeongguk snort because since when does a twenty-year-old need a packet’s opinion.

God is real, he supposes and goes to treat himself to chocolate to drown his pain in. Sugar is always a good idea.

“Oh fuck, Yoongi I think someone’s inside. Were you expecting anyone?” Namjoon studies the lock that still has the key stuck in it.
