Blind || BTS Jungkook

Chapter 30: I'm Right Here

Aeri's POV

Knock knock.

"It's Jin, your oppa," he said from the other side of the door.

My head raised up from writing on the paper in front of me. What is he doing here?

I looked down back at the paper, quickly folded it in half and hid it in my drawer among other papers. I quickly wiped my face from excess tears since I was crying while writing on that paper. Then, I abruptly made my way to the door, unlocked it and found Jin standing there in front of me.

I couldn't help it. I started crying and immediately jumped up giving him a big hug. Then, he quickly walked into the room and closed the door shut.

He turned to me and placed his hands on my shoulders. "What's wrong?" he inquired, meeting my eyes.

"I missed you so much," I cried and hugged him again, burying my face in his chest, crying on his shirt.

Eventually, he hugged me back and started stroking my hair on the back of my head. He started making soothing sounds, "Aw, jinja... you're still such a baby..."

"Yah..." I pulled myself away and looked at him. "Does it look like you should be teasing me at the moment?" I sniffed, wiping the tears on my face with the back of my hands.

Jin softly chuckled and ruffled my hair. "How have you been?" he inquired.

I looked at him with my puffy, red eyes. I didn't know how to answer him.

"A lot of things has been going on in life for me," was how I answered him.

He looked at me to my stomach. "How about this little dude?" He quickly rubbed my stomach and looked at me.

"How do you know it's a dude?" I inquired, still sniffing.

He chuckled again, and gave me a quick hug. "I missed you very much as well."

Seeing my brother for the first time in forever made it feel like all the pressure on my back was lessened bit by bit.

We then pulled away from the hug, and met each other's eyes. I said to him, "How have you been doing, Oppa?"

It took him a moment to answer, "Ok, I guess."

"How's Nayeon?" I inquired.

Now that I thought about it, I wondered if Jin ever liked Nayeon. Did he agree with his arranged marriage in the first place?

He gave me a tight smile, and said, "She's doing okay as well."

I nodded, and said, "Good."

Then, I started making my over to my bed, and sat down. I patted on the bed for him to sit beside me and so he came over, sitting down.

"What are you here for?" I inquired, raising an eyebrow.

"Why? You don't want me here?" he said mockingly.

I shook my head and smiled. "No no. It's not that I don't want you here. It's just... what's your reason for being here is all I'm asking?"

He drew in a deep sigh, and said, "I just wanted to check on you. I haven't seen you for a long time, you know."

I nodded and gave him a smile.

"Are you and Taehyung doing okay together?" he inquired.

Should I tell him?

"Well, we were okay for a while, but... not anymore..." I answered, looking away with exhaustion.

"Why?" he asked.
