Learn To Live Again | Namkook

Chapter 6

Jungkook POV

As classes finally wind down to an end, I'm beyond relieved. Thankfully, Tae kept anyone from approaching us and making comments.

"You guys wanna head to the park that's like five minutes away?" Tae suggests with a smile as we exit our last class.

"Sure! It sounds like a great idea. It's a beautiful day out and I bet the park will look great this time of year with the leaves changing color." I answer happily before turning to Namjoon.

"Does that sound good to you, hyung?" I ask hopefully with a small smile. He just keeps a bored look on his face as he shrugs.

"Whatever. I'm stuck going wherever the hell you drag me anyways." He mutters, not bothering to look down at me. I bite my lip as I stop walking, causing the other two to stop walking as well as they look back at me in confusion at my sudden action.

"We don't have to go to the park if you don't want to, hyung. I'm sorry if it felt like I was forcing you to agree." I tell him softly, looking down at my feet as guilt and regret washes over me. Pursing my lips, I hold back tears that are beginning to form as I try to continue staying strong.

I have to stay strong. I promised him I would. Hyung would be disappointed in me if I didn't stay strong. I have to be strong. For him.

"Jungkook, we can go wherever the hell you want to go. I wasn't trying to indirectly say I didn't want to go." He says with a sigh. Blinking away the tears, I look up at him with a smile despite the fact that I'm still biting my lip.

"No, it's okay, hyung. We don't have to go." I respond gently. He frowns, shaking his head.

"Let's go to the park, Jungkook." He tells me with a small sigh, a small smile on his face. I can't lie, I'm surprised to see a small smile on his face but it makes me happy to see it. And it's really fucking cute too.

"Are you sure, hyung? I know I've kinda been forcing you to be out of the apartment a lot and to do a bunch of things..." I question uncertainly. He sighs again, running a hand through his hair.

"Yes, Jungkook. I'm sure, let's go." He answers with another small smile. I return a smile, the three of us beginning to walk towards the park once again.

Namjoon POV

Why did I agree to go to the park? Literally just because he wanted to go. Which still doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense to me.

Though, I definitely felt bad as soon as he stopped walked and changed his answer for us. It was a complete 180 mood change on him, and I'm not gonna lie, it kinda surprised me and almost worried me. I don't know what the hell it is with him and parks, but he sure seems to like them a lot...

I gotta say though... I'm surprised he actually changed his answer just because of my shitty response. I entirely was expecting some shitty comment in return about him just trying to help me or something. Not for him to just stop and take it all back altogether.

As we reach the park, we start across a bridge that takes us over a small river. Though, as we get halfway across it, both Taehyung and Jungkook decide to stop.

"It really is a beautiful day. And you were definitely right about the scenery, Kookie. You really do have an eye for things." Taehyung says with a smile, looking over at Jungkook who's wearing a small smile. Shrugging to myself, I sit down on the railing of the bridge.

"Nature is always beautiful this time of year, hyung. It's one of my favorite things about fall." He says softly, a small frown forming on his face as he finishes speaking. I watch him as he picks up the Polaroid camera hung around his neck, holding it in his hands as he purses his frowning lips while eyeing the device.

Why is he frowning if he's saying that it's one of his favorite things? Hyung, even you made more sense than this kid. Even when you were fucking drunk all the time.

Suddenly, he picks the camera up and raises it to his face. Before I have a chance to comprehend what he's doing, he's snapped a picture of me sitting on the railing.

"What the hell was that for?" I ask with a frown, not enjoying having had my picture taken. However, instead of answering my question, he takes the picture that had been printed from the device while Taehyung decides to try striking up a conversation with me.

"So, hyung, did you enjoy the photography classes today?" Taehyung asks in a curious manner as he smiles over at me, sitting down on the rail as well. I shrug in response.

"They were okay, I guess. Not really my thing though." I mutter, looking around at all the trees with the different colored leaves.

"Do you have something that you are interested in? Maybe you could registered for classes if you find something you want to major in. Then you'd be able to enjoy the classes more and you'd be more interested in the material being taught!" He suggests, and as annoyed as I want to get for what he's said, I know he only means it in a kind way. Sighing, I just shrug.

"Dunno. I like writing but that's kinda the only thing I really enjoy." I answer, not bothering to look over at the two boys.

"I think it turned out pretty good, hyung." I hear Jungkook mumble softly, causing me to look over at him in confusion before realizing he's talking about the picture he took. I merely roll my eyes in response.

"Woahhh... Kookie, that's amazing! Damn it, I wish I were as talented as you, man. I can't just take a good picture on the fly like that." Taehyung exclaims. Looking over at them once again, I see Taehyung now holding the photo.

He looks over at me with a grin before handing over the photo. Frowning, I take the photo as I notice Jungkook's nervous stature. Though, as I look over the photo myself... I have to admit that he really is good. I dislike the fact that I'm in the picture, but it turned out really well.

Shrugging, I hand the photo back to Jungkook. He takes it from me, a tiny smile and a light blush on his cheeks as he stores it away somewhere safely.

Why is he blushing?
