I'm Waiting, Hyung.

Chapter 16: Brother

Jungkook POV (Flashback, Hospital)

"What.." He stares at me, confuse, or even surprise. Answer me Hyung.

"Jung-Jungkook? You're awake!" The happy Hyung rushes to me and gave me a big hug. He's warm.

" Are u okay? How are you feeling? Does your leg hurt?" He looks so worried.

" Hyung, I'm okay, but where am I?" I ask, as I look around to find myself inside a room, a weird clean, and organized room. This is not my room, I know that for sure.

" You're at the Hospital, pabo. After doing something stupid back in the arcade, you hurt your leg pretty bad and was immediately rushed to the hospital." Ah that's right....I'm so embarrassed.

" haha, sorry Hyung. I must have worried you all. I just ruined the day didn't I?" He shook his head and told me that it was okay.

"Where's the others?" I ask realizing I don't see them around. Except for V and him.

He immediately explained it to me, and I couldn't help but smile to hear him say that he volunteered to stay with me, It made me really happy to even think that I should get hurt more if I was going to hear him say that all the time.. But I'm not stupid. That's a dick move to do to worry my members just because of my selfish act.

" But our adorable V left, he wanted to get drink for us, he'll be here soon, Haha" V?...

"Hyung, do you love me?" Not knowing what I just said, I sat there still, frozen like an ice.

What the fuck did I say that for!?....

I began to panic inside. calm down, calm down...

We sat there, it was so quiet, so still, it felt like eternity, It was killing me. But there was no going back. I lift my head up so I could see his face, His brown eyes were staring at mine, while his lips were slowly apart from each other. He was so close to me, I could just grab him, claim my territory, claim what belongs to me, but it was so hard, I couldn't do it... I was scared.

"Jungkook." He mumbles. Goddammit, It's over...

He's my Hyung, He raised me, fed me, took care of me, loved me, But I knew what that love meant to him. It was different from mine. If I grab him and kiss him, How would he react? Would he push me?..love me like how I love him?

I sat there, staring at him...It's right there! His lips, body, touch, and his heart are right in front of you! I love him so much, but can I really do it?

" Jungkook, of course I love you" He chuckles. I bolted my head up as I find him smiling at me..What did he just say?... repeat it again, Hyung. Repeat it again! I have to hear it again!

He gently pulled me and gave me a big hug. Filled with happiness I hugged him back with no hesitation. My head buried on his chest, the feeling of his broad, muscled shoulders at my hand, and the beating of his heart against my ear was causing every part of my body to tingle. I couldn't stop my heart from beating fast.

This can't be happening, Is this really happening? Jin Hyung just said he loves me, If this is a dream, please don't wake me up.

" I love you, Hyung... I've always had" He hugged me tighter as I felt his warmth even more, He even smells like lemon cake.

" I love you too, Jungkook... " Just when I thought things were going well...

"You're my cute little golden brother!" My eyes widen. I slowly felt my grip on him loosened.

What?...

Little brother? My smile slowly faded away as I came to realization...ah I see, so that's what he meant...as expected from my Hyung, It was foolish for me to think he loved me the same way... but hearing him say that to me was like a dream... And sadly it will always be a dream. Always.

I pulled away from the hug and looked at him. He looks blurry.

" Jungkook! Are you okay? Why are you crying!?" No wonder it was blurry....

" Ah this, haha. I guess I must have cried when you said you love me. It made me happy!" I giggled in pain. Please don't notice, Please don't notice it...

I felt his hands on my shoulder, I took a glance to see him smiling at me. His smile is the most beautiful thing I could ever see, I would do anything to see him smile like that beside me.

" Jungkook, What's wrong?." it hurts.. it fucking hurts...It's aching so bad... but I have to be fine, I'm fine.

I pulled him into another hug, But this time I hugged him 10 times tighter, but in truth I hugged him because I didn't want him to see me cry, and that I knew it was over.

"Nothing, Hyung. I just love hugging you and your broad shoulders!" I love him, and I know I will always do, nothing can stop that, But after hearing everything that I needed to hear, I knew where my stop was.

"Are you sure you're okay?" I nodded as I smiled. He can't know, at least not now....

" Yeah, I'm okay" Although I know my heart isn't, and even though I'm not ready yet, that I don't want to do it yet, I know what I needed to do. I needed to let him go. I have to let him go.

I'm fine, I'll be fine...

"Hyung, you have to take care of me okay, It's your fault that I broke my leg " I chuckled, I slowly pulled away from the hug and gave him my gummy smile.

" What! I didn't do shit to you!" He then punches me in the arm causing me to grab onto my arm, Jin Hyung began laughing as I ended up doing the same.

" I wonder where Taehyung went though? I'm thirsty as fuck." Jin Hyung complained as he looks over his shoulder to look at the door.

I turned my face to the door, waiting any minute for V to enter, to let him see the redness of my eyes, for him to know that he has a chance... but

V never did come back.
