Cold Shoulder [Completed] ✅

Chapter 13

Taehyung's POV

The months have flown by and we're already back in Seoul. I have my offices here for my company and I  needed to re-aclimate myself after being gone for this long. I've let a lot of things slide while I was away.

Jin and I have come to a compromise about us; not that I like it but I have to unless I want to face the wrath of my father. My father....I feel like I don't even know him anymore. Growing up, he was always there for me. Giving in to my various demands and tantrums. I know I wasn't a very easy child to deal with but my parents should not have always acquiesced to my incessant demands.

Jin changed a lot of my perspective on life during our formative years. He was my best friend. Sure, I had other friends too but Jin always held that special spot for me. He was many things to me, a friend, a confidant, my wingman when I really needed one; but most of all, he was my hero. He saved my life when we were so little, a selfless act that endeared me to him forever.

Granted, I never looked at him as anything other than these things, and it makes me wonder why I had been so blind to his feelings back then. Was it my own selfish self, always believing myself to be the centre of attention? Never realising that others had feelings other than myself? Or just plain oblivious?

I try to imagine how he must have felt seeing me with other people. Girls I'd dated. Boys too. How he hid himself in the shadows and never letting me know. Why? Why didn't he tell me sooner? But, would it have actually made a difference to my self absorbed ass back then? Probably not.

The last few months however, has made me realise many things about Jin and my family dymanic. Being the son of our worker, he probably knew more about our daily lives than me, since I lived a closeted and entitled existence. But all this is just conjecture for me as he won't tell me anything.

He's arriving in Seoul in a few days time. I know he has a meeting with a television company here. More than that I can't say. Jin is a famous and highly successful actor who has always made his decisions for his career himself. And I can't just ask him to leave all that and run off into the sunset with me. That would be very selfish of me.

One change that I've made is, I've hired Jungkook to join my company. I was really happy when he readily agreed. I feel his talent is so wasted with his freelancing. I've given him his own platform to create and he's taken to it with flying colours. I was right to give him free reign with his creativity. It's also given us an opportunity to get closer. And I'm happy to see that he's worked well in getting over his crush on me.

In the last two months, Jungkook and Jin have become especially close too. At first there was that awkward phase but they soon got over it. A sort of love-hate relationship has fettered. In their words, a frenemyship, if there is such a thing. But it adds for great comic relief as their interactions are always laced with heavy sarcasm and false critism of each other.

"Tae, Jin just called. He said he's coming in on an earlier flight tonight." Jungkook informed me.

"That's great! But damn! I just remembered, I have a meeting with my father tonight and I can't reschedule. He's leaving for Japan for a week tomorrow."

"That's okay. I can pick Jin up and keep him entertained until you're done. I'm sure he'll enjoy that!" His tone is dripping with sarcasm and I chuckle at his false enthusiasm.

"Thanks buddy. I'm going to a meeting with the fabric selectors now. I guess I'll see you later. Text me when he lands."

Jungkook nods and I head out to my meeting feeling happy and light hearted. I'm going to see my Jin after two weeks. It's been too long. I can't go so long without being with him. It's been driving me crazy. I smile happily as I drive to the meeting, my thoughts filled with my baby boy.

Jungkook's POV

"Jin! Hey Jin! Over here!" I scream as soon as I catch sight of him. I chuckle when I see his newly dyed pink hair. It suits him but I'm not going to let him know that. I smile wickedly.

"Jungkook-ah, why are you here? Where's Taehyung?" I can see his distaste on finding me as a replacement. It doesn't faze me.

"He had a meeting with your not-father in law," I smirk at him and earn a sneer which I appreciate. This will be fun. "So how come you decided to look like cotton candy at a circus?" I ask him innocently, indicating the pink mop on his head.

He squirms in irritation, waiting for his bags on the carousel. "It was for an ad I did dickhead! And I'm fucking handsome in it! So you can just take your snide comments and shove them where the sun don't shine!"

I chuckle at his response. "Aaah Jinnie, I've missed you, even if you look like a chicken's butt now!" I laugh happily.

He just scoffs at my attempts at humour. "Don't tell me that I'm stuck with your flat ass until Taehyung is done?"

"Sadly, yes. Believe me, I'd rather be getting some sweet ass than being stuck with the likes of you anyway," I counter.

He scoffs at me. "Let's just go! I'm fucking starving. The food on the plane was pathetic!"

If there's one thing I share with Jin, it would be our mutual love for good food. So we head to a Korean barbecue house and devour a huge dinner. With our stomachs satiated, we actually begin to enjoy each others company. He's not half bad really. But he's an annoying bitch and I'm sure he considers me to be an equally annoying prick. We head to my apartment to await Taehyung and while he takes a shower, I choose a series on Netflix to pass the time. I select 'Love Alarm' as I know Jin is a sucker for this love story shit.

My breath hitches when he comes out of the bathroom, wearing only a towel slung loosely over his petite waist. Fuck!
