Dating Jeon Jungkook [Jikook] || English Version

Chapter Twenty one

Jimin's POV

5:00 PM

"Seokjin hyung, did you see Jungkook?" I asked him, he was seated on the couch, eyes glued on his phone. He looked up at me and shook his head, no. I pouted and gave him a small nod. Jungkook left me earlier and I don't have an idea where he is.

I walked outside the rest house, a smile spread across my face when I saw him, walking alone on the seashore. I walked towards him, silently tailing him behind. I giggle and cover my mouth using my hands. He's too occupied in his own world to even notice my presence.

He stopped and faces the sea again, like what he did earlier. I just stared and observe him, even he if he doesn't say it I know he's sad right now. He sat down there, eyes fixed on the sea. There's a long distance between us, I'm standing silently behind his back.

"He is longing for someone, Jimin."

"And that someone is?"

"His friend."

Jungkook lowered down his head and even if I can't see his face, I know he's crying right now. I want to walk closer, I want to give him a tight hug. I can't stand seeing him like this.

I thought at first he doesn't care about anyone's feelings, that he's a cold hearted person, that he was selfish . . . I didn't know he's suffering and hurting too. I'm so stupid for thinking that way in the past.

Jungkook always act as if he's okay, that everything was okay, but deep down inside he was clearly hurting and as much as I want to help, I can't. Because he doesn't want to open up with me, he doesn't want to voice out what he really feel. I don't want to force him to tell me everything because I have no right.

He lost his friend and it's still hurting him and it wasn't like it's easy to forget someone. He's part of Jungkook's life, he played an important role in his life and I understand how it really affects Jungkook.

I want to cheer him up, I want to make him happy but I know he doesn't want anyone near him right now. The only thing I could do now is give him time alone. He needs time alone.

I turned on my heels, glancing one last time at him before I left.

Dinner

"Hyung, where is Jungkook?" I asked him and he gave me a small smile.

"Don't mind him, Jimin. If he wants to be alone, just let him." I nodded and mumbled a soft, okay.

To keep myself busy, I helped Seokjin and Hoseok to prepare the table because it's already dinner time and I can't help but to feel the tension between them.

Oh right, I noticed it too last time. It was the time when we all went to Seokjin's party in his apartment. They don't acknowledge each other's presence as if they don't know each other. I think they fought.

We are all outside right now. Seokjin said that it's better to just eat outside because we need a bigger space. I looked around, I wonder where he is. I hope he's okay.

"Jimin, Noona will feed you." They all laughed when she said that. I rolled my eyes and ignored her.

"Jimin baby, please, say ah." I glanced at Hobi and motioned him to help but he looks away. Oh right, I forgot to mention, he's not only avoiding Seokjin but he is avoiding me too.

"Say ah." Seulgi tried again. I clenched my fist.

"Just do it to make her stop." Hoseok said firmly. I sighed heavily and slowly opened my mouth and forced myself to swallow.
