[ Namjin ] Two years

12-Jin

"Hello?" I say, picking up the phone.
"Hello Seokjin." It's my boss... "Congratulations, thanks to your hard work and commitment, you'll get to work in the new building that the society worked on really hard. You're one of our greatest employees with a lot of ambition."
I almost fainted, they've worked on this project for a lot of time and they've always told me it was reserved to the best people.
"Oh my God, thank you so much Sir, I will not disappoint you"
"You never disappoint me, Seokjin. Congratulations on your job in Paris! Goodbye Seokjin, I'll see you Wednesday "
"Wait! Par-"
He hung up.
Paris? H-How? How come this little Korean society got implanted in France?
Guess I'll know that Wednesday...

I don't know if I want to go to Paris, I love my life here. And since that man I walked on a few days ago, I felt like I had some chance of maybe forgetting about my past.
I should probably text him though.

I still have a few days of vacation. Five. That'll do. I take my phone and text him.

Me:
Hey, I don't know if you remember me
I was the guy at the café and I was
wondering if you'd like to see each other... Maybe around a coffee sometime

Text me if it'd be okay
Hope to meet up soon

I read my message again and again, I just want it to be perfect. I send it after hesitating for two whole minutes.
It's a weird sensation to feel like the shy teenager again. I feel old, I never experienced it since last time, with Ken... I miss him but I should really get over him once and for all.

I kind of hope he won't answer the text, because I'm way too shy. But I want him to respond because I really want to see him. I'm such a baby... What happened to me ?

After my little breakdown, I get to my senses and think about that job offer in Paris. I don't speak French, I don't know anything about the culture, I know a little about the country's history... But, on the other hand, the Eiffel tower, right ? I mean I know the city is beautiful and the weather is similar to here... But the people, I heard, are a little snob. I heard they were getting better though. Whatever, I can't even speak French, I won't understand what they'll say to me. Maybe we'll speak Korean in the building. And I love my life here, although I need a change in my life.

I begin to cook dinner and wait for the kids to come back from school. I ordered them to come back directly after school, to avoid any other drama like last time. I really dread the moment I'll have to tell them that we will most certainly have to leave our cozy life here.

I hear the front door open and Jungkook screaming they're back home, I think I just had a mini heart attack. God, these children...
They enter the kitchen, hoping to see me. Jungkook hands me an English test I have to sign. He barely passed it. "See ?" I say "Why are you so hard on yourself ?" He smiles and runs to his room. Jimin stays with me and helps me get dinner ready, he wants to learn how to cook.
"Can you call your brother ? I have something to tell you both..." I ask and he runs upstairs to get Jungkook. They both come back down the stairs and they sit on stools and wait for me to speak. I take three deep breaths, like Ken tought me to every time I had to do something I really didn't want to do. I open my mouth and speak.

"Kids, I know that you like your life here. I know that you -I turn my face to Jimin- have a new interest now, maybe you found someone. And I know that you - I turn my head to the left - are not having a great week but I know you love your friends and you both love life here but... This morning, I got a call. From my boss. He offered me a job."
"What ? That's great, you always said tha-" Jimin says.
"I'm not finished. As you might know, I always get praised for my good work and my commitment in this company and I've worked there for as long as I can remember but I've been at the same post for over a decade. I can't take it anymore and this job offer is kind of interesting to me. So as I said, I had a call and the job that was handed to me is in Paris and I don't know for how long I'll have to work there."

I dread their reaction. Jungkook doesn't budge but I can see a tear in Jimin's eye. He excuses himself and leaves the house. I feel so bad and Jungkook sees it and hugs me. He keeps caressing my back to not make me feel guilty but I feel extremely bad.
I'll have to talk about it to my boss. And when I'll know more, I will make a decision. I'll also talk to Jimin because he seems to be more touched than Jungkook.

I'll just have to wait until Wednesday.
