DIRTY SECRET || Kookjin

Jungkook's pov:

Finally, am on my way to meet Taehyung. I thought it would be harder to persuade him to hang out with me, since I have been declining his every call to hangout. But surprisingly he agreed in one go, for which am glad.

Taehyung's dad and my dad are best friends as well as business partners. So naturally, he and I have been glued up together since childhood. We were always thick and thin and faced all the ups and downs together. Like a big brother, he always took care of me until my life got jinxed and everything came to halt, as I shut myself to the entire world.

I feel giddy, having travelled down the memory lane which doesn't much bring any sweet memory to me. I sigh and take a deep breath to steady my mind.

I look out for the parking lot, having found the place. I pull over my car at the kerb and I stride towards the venue.

It is one of the high-end clubs in Seoul which is owned by none other than Taehyung's big brother Kim Bogum. He is a well known entrepreneur who has his branch spread out in all the major cities of Korea.

Taehyung is the second child of Mr. Kim. But eventually, he stepped out of his house despite the opposition of his father with the support of his brother by his side. Because he wanted to pursue his own dream where his father was forcing him to work in the company. Hence, he chose his passion for expectations.

As soon as I reach the entrance hall an attended comes and leads me to the VIP lounge. The place screams luxury and too posh which is specially built to the taste of elites.

Surprisingly it is not much crowded and the attendant leaves me by the door. I see Taehyung already installed himself on one of the velvet couches as he sips his usual wine. I chuckle and take my seat in front of him.

"You started already?" I ask him feigning hurt. He chuckles as he bottoms up the entire glass in one go, crunching his face at the bitter taste. "I got bored waiting for you JK. Be thankful that I am here to listen to your crying ass."

"Yeah..yeah as if." I grab the wine bottle in front of me "by the way where is your boyfriend. I thought he would be joining us as well." I ask, pouring wine to my glass.

" Don't forget that my boyfriend is your best friend too, JK." He gives me a sharp look but continuous never the less " Namjoon hyung is visiting his parents for a few days so he couldn't join."

I nod my head in comprehension as I started chugging down my drink.

" How is our group leader-nim doing though?"

"Shut up!" He crunches his face tasting the bitter taste of alcohol once again."Ugh man, it is so tiring to catch up with everything but still, somehow am managing."

" I always wonder won't your soul get tired from being too kind to each and everyone on a daily basis?"

"I like socializing with people, JK. Something you and your human phobic ass can never relate."

'Human phobic' Is that even a word? I chuckle and continue to empty my glass not bothering to listen to his rantings.

"Enough of my social life. Now let's get to the main point." He leans back resting his arms on the armrest of the couch, staring at me in determination.

After a few seconds of uncomfortable silence" So, you like him, huh?"

"Eh, what?" I raise my eyebrow in puzzlement.

"Let me rephrase it like this: You like Jin, don't you Jungkook?"

I suddenly started coughing loudly as I choked over my drink and even worse I spilled it over my cell phone!

"What the fuck Taehyung?!" I yell at him still gasping for air, desperately grabbing the tissue to wipe my phone.

"Just what you heard JK. Oh, do you want me to rephra-"

I cut him down sternly putting up my hand gesturing him to stop. "Where is this coming from Tae?" I ask eying him suspiciously. He surely is a paradox, nobody can say what he thinks and does.

" Just because you distanced yourself from us that doesn't mean I'm unaware of what is happening in your life, Kookie. I have my ways." He winks.

" So?"

"So what?"

" why don't you tell him you, idiot?"

"Tell what?"

" You ain't slick here, Jungkook. So, don't make me say it. I might spill the beans more than intended. And you won't like that." After an eerie silence..." Shall I sp-"

"Okay, fine! Look, it is complicated and I don't know what is even happening with me anymore."

He sighs as he pours wine to his now emptied glass. " Look, JK, I don't wanna go round and round with what is going between you and Jin. That's your business to deal with. But..." He hesitates a bit but proceeds never the less. "Don't let your past bother you so much so that you start hurting innocent people. For how long you're planning to stay like this with your unbreakable walls which are eating you up inch by inch. Stop hurting yourself, man! From the experience and observation I can see he is an innocent and genuine person....please...." His voice seeping concern. " Don't be too hard on yourself. Let him in, Jungkook."

His voice trembles a bit as he takes a deep breath steadying himself. " Look I just want to say, act sooner or else you would be regretting a great time, man!"

I stare and him not knowing what to say. All of this are too much for me. I just can't trust and let anyone again to shred me into pieces."

But an interruption of deep husky voice makes me lookup.

" By the way just letting you know, I see Yoongi hyung showing a little special interest towards Seokjinnie. " Yoongi. I clench my fist hearing that name again. He takes a sip and continuous "make sure that you won't be left crying because I won't be coming to sooth your crying ass."

I roll my eyes on him being a little too dramatic. But whatever he is saying why is it affecting me so much?
I come out of my train of thoughts as I hear the clinking of the glasses.

"I hope you ponder over it, man."

"...."

"And?" he emphasizes it waiting for my reply.

"Ugh!" I groan at his stubbornness. "Yeah...yeah, okay fine. I will. Happy?"

" Good boy." he ruffles my hair earning my glare in return. "Well, now that you are here let's do karaoke as we used to....what say?" He stands up from his place wiggling his eyebrows with a full smile etching on his face.

Now that I am here, I might as well relive the moments of our olden days. I reciprocate his smile standing up. " Okay, but one who reaches first will get to select the songs," I start running, already in the halfway to the said place.

"yah, that's cheating! Your cheating ass didn't change for all these years. Kookie, you cheater...wait for me." I laugh as I hear Taehyung's ranting in the back trying to catch up my pace.
