28. Speak

"So what are we waiting for?" Karoo asks sitting down closely to Jin, watching Taehyung pace up and down taking his time.

"I too am curious about what we are waiting for," Jin says looking to Taehyung.

Taehyung smiles looking at them on the white couch. Karoo is dressed in a long sleeved knee white dress and Jin in his white coat. They both seemed to like the colour very much.

"We're waiting for Jungkook," Taehyung says alerting both Jin and Karoo. Taehyung looks to his watch. "But it seems he's late as usual. He owes me 300,"

"You invited your friend Jungkook here?" Jin asks perplexed. "Why? What's going on?"

"It's something small-"

Right on time there's an usher coming in with Jungkook following behind.

"I'm sorry I'm late," Jungkook smiles sheepishly only looking at Taehyung, they both hug tapping each others backs.

"You owe me money," Taehyung remarks jokingly.

"I'm not giving you anything, you always make bets that you know you won't loose in. When was the last time you paid me?" Jungkook complains jokingly.

"I owe you nothing but my loyalty," Taehyung says the inside joke that they know.

Jungkook's eyes turn to the couch when he notices movements.

He and Karoo keep a perfectly balanced eye contact with so many unsaid words. Jin clears he's throat, forcing Jungkook to focus and get back on track. "I'm sorry, uh good afternoon Doctor. Karoo,"

Jin tries to be composed in his seat but irks by Jungkook's presence. Karoo doesn't look at Jungkook after they break eye contact, as he takes his seat on the couch infront of her. He tries not to look at her but his eyes can't help but wander to her.

"Is this everyone?" Jin asks. Taehyung nods his head. "So what seems to be the matter? Do you know what's going on sweety?" Jin asks Karoo. She's mute shaking her head.

If she looked up, she knew her eyes would fall on Jungkook's face. She didn't want to pay attention to him even though her heart was burning just to see his face and how he was doing.

Jungkook keeps his eyes on his fingers playing with the button of his jacket,  occasionally glancing up to her. He missed her.

"If you'll excuse me I'll be right back, I left something in the car," Taehyung says politely bowing and rushing away.

When he's out of ear shot, Jin glances at Jungkook. As Karoo's new father it pained him feeling the atmosphere around the two. He wanted Karoo to be happy with the man she really loved but at the same time, the man she loved died and she was moving on with her life. She needed to move on.

"Do you know what's going on Jungkook?" Jin asks.

Jungkook is brought out of his dry strawberry thoughts to keep him from thinking about Karoo and looks to Jin. "No," he says shaking his head. "I was just told the address and that I shouldn't be late,"

The atmosphere is tense again when Karoo and Jungkook make eye contact. As she's about to look away he smiles. Her heart melts a little feeling vulnerable. She smiles back nodding her head slyly. Jungkook takes a deep breath out and turns away not before catching Jin's remorseful look.

Taehyung appears by the door way. He brings his arm up, revealing a black firm hand gun pointing to Jungkook.

Jin's the first to react covering Karoo with his hand. "Taehyung. What's going on?" He asks in a steady voice.
