Together You and I

CHAPTER 36

CHAPTER 36

JUNG KOOK's P.O.V.

"Hyung, Is there a possibility that this writer knows Mae Noona?" I asked Manager Sejin. He looked at me blankly before he made a deep sigh. "Jungkook-ssi, how can you even say that?" He asked bewilderedly. I paused for a while wondering if I should tell him or not about what I noticed. After a while I chose the latter. I shook my head as I continued reading the script. As I continued reading, I noticed not only one scene but multiple of it that happened between Mae Noona and me. Now, my hunch is getting stronger. Either this writer is related to Mae Noona or Mae Noona herself.

 "So, when will I meet the writer?" I asked. Manager Sejin stopped scrolling on his phone and looked at me. "That is yet to be scheduled because I heard the Writer still need to fix her Visa but I will inform you as soon as it is settled." I nodded my head and went back to reading. But my brain is now traveling somewhere else. I can feel the excitement building inside me. Finally, after two years, there is a possibility that I could meet her again.

"Hi everybody! Good morning! Did you already eat breakfast?" I looked up from my book and saw Jin hyung coming down the stairs. "No, not yet." I replied. "Manager Sejin, what are you doing here so early in the morning?" Jin hyung asked as he slumped on the seat beside me. "It's already 12 Noon Jin-ssi. Anyways, I just dropped by to give Jungkook his script." Manager Sejin replied. "Script? What script?" Jin hyung asked as he leaned over my shoulder to get a glimpse of the book I was reading. "Jungkook has been casted for a movie based on a best seller book?" Manager Sejin explained. I heard Jin hyung gasped and started clapping dramatically. "Yaaaah! That is our maknae! Congratulations for your acting debut!" I looked at Jin hyung and he looks genuinely happy for me. I smiled a bit and muttered, "Thanks hyung."

"Well, I have to go now. Enjoy your short break." Manager Sejin put his phone back in his back pocket and looked at us with a warm smile. Jin hyung and I smiled back. "Thank you, Manager Sejin. Take Care and see you again later." Jin hyung and I stood up and bowed as he left. 

"Hyung, I think the writer of this story is related to Mae Noona." I muttered as I continued reading. There was no response and so I looked up and saw Jin hyung looking at me with blank expression. "Hyung." I called him once again and this time he finally looked at me. "What was that?" He asked. I shook my head and sighed. "I said, I think that the writer of this story is somehow related to Mae Noona." He looked at me blankly before he stood up and started walking towards the kitchen. "How could you say that?" He asked as he started bringing out some ingredients from the cupboard. I think he is going to cook. "Well, some scenes in the story actually happened between Mae Noona and I." Jin hyung stopped moving as he stared at me with a serious expression. "Jungkook-ssi, It's been two years already. Please don't get your hopes up. I don't want you to get hurt and disappointed again." He replied as he continued cooking. I bowed my head and stared at the book I was holding. Was I really being hopeful for no reason? Will I only get hurt and disappointed again?

"If only you told me before that she was going home that day." I muttered under my breath. Yes, until today, after two years, I still blame them for not being able to talk to Mae Noona before she left. If only I could say a proper goodbye then maybe we still have a connection right now. Jin hyung leaned on the table and stare at me with a guilty expression. "Look, Jung Kook-ah, we didn't know she was going to leave that day. I only accidentally heard Miss Anna and Sejin hyung talking about her while we were changing location for the shoot." He explained in one breath.

"And yet, you didn't tell me?" I responded bitterly but he averted his gaze and went back to stirring whatever he was cooking. "Because I don't want to ruin your mood for the shoot. We all know how you can't hide your emotions well." He is right. I acknowledge that. "But you know how much I like her. She means a lot to me, hyung." I responded in a hoarse voice as the memories of what happened in Guam two years ago came back to mind and I feel little pins pricking my heart. "I'm sorry." He apologized sincerely. I sighed to calm my emotions. Honestly speaking, I already forgave him. I already forgave them but I will never forget.
