Hoseok's Bride

Chapter 40

~Jiyeon~

Hoseok and I walked back into the living room and wasn't surprised when we didn't see the members there. What was surprising is that Namjoon had pinned Jihye against the counter, hands on either side of her hips, trapping her in. He had his head lowered towards hers, saying something that can only be heard by Jihye. Jihye didn't look happy about the situation she was in but didn't push him away either.

Hoseok and I came to a stop and stared at the two. Jihye's eyes swing my way and she pressed her hands against Namjoon's chest in attempt to push him away but he didn't bother moving at all. My eyes widened as I took this in and looked at Hoseok who was also surprised too.

"Namjoon?" Hoseok said, eyes narrowed.

Namjoon ignored Hoseok, his eyes locked on Jihye and Jihye alone. It's as if she is all he could see. All that matters.

"Just try it," he dared.

Jihye scoffed, "Are you threatening me?"

"A warning," he corrected before stepping away from her. "We're not done."

Jihye shot a glare his way before walking towards me. Her eyes went towards Hoseok and then came to me. "I'm guessing things worked out."

I smiled, "Uh, yeah."

She nodded. "Good. You didn't belong here to begin with."

"Jihye," I began.

She waved me off, "I need to go now. I've got a date."

For some reason my eyes went to Namjoon and I saw that he looked like he was about to explode right there and then by what Jihye had said. It was kind of rare to see Namjoon like this. He was trying hard to conceal the anger that was bubbling inside of him. Did the two know each other?

"Let's meet again one day," Jihye smiled but it didn't reach her eyes. "It was nice meeting you."

"Uh, yeah," I said as she turned to leave. "Call me if you're ever in Seoul."

We all watched as Jihye left and stood there in silence. It was awkward and tense so no one said anything for a long while. It was Namjoon who finally decided to break the awkwardness.

"You two fixed things?"

"Yeah," I nodded.

Namjoon smiled but like Jihye, it didn't reach his eyes too. "Good. I was worried."

I felt my expression softened. "Sorry for worrying you lot."

Namjoon reached out and surprised me when he tousled my hair, "Don't do that to us again. You're part of our family so don't you forget that we hurt alongside you too."

"Don't!" I cried, shaking my head, "I'm going to cry if you say something like that."

Namjoon chuckled and his eyes went to Hoseok, "Let's head back."

"I'll call in some people to collect your things," Hoseok said to me. "Let's go home for now."

After we all returned to Seoul, Namjoon said he was tired and needed to sleep before heading to the company to work on some songs. Yoongi left to see his girlfriend but Hoseok insisted that he asked the girlfriend to come to us instead. Yoongi seem conflicted about the situation but then finally agreed.
