A Secret Affair || Jikook

Chapter 4

Jimin hasn't come into work today, or the days before today. He hasn't been answering my calls or replying to my text messages. My best guess and most obvious one is that he's avoiding me, because of the 'incident'.

I understand what he's going through, I can't even look Lisa in the eye, probably because I think of Jimin when I look at her and everything else. Jimin is always in my mind and it's driving me insane. I can't work, sleep, eat or talk to my wife without thinking of Jimin.

I don't know what him being in my thoughts 24/7 could mean. My mind keeps drifting to another explanation to why I can't stop thinking of him, but it's normal to worry or miss your best friend... Who you've slept with.

I shake my head trying to get rid of the silly thoughts in my head. I agree it was a bad idea to have sex with him, obviously. But he's my best friend and I don't want to just cut off all ties with him.

I suddenly get a phone call from my assistant.
"What is it?" I ask.

"It's Jimin sir, he's in his office. He told me not to tell you he was here." she says.

I roll my eyes, of course he said that. He's always avoiding conflict.

"Okay, thank you Wendy" I say and get up from my chair and walk outside my office. I see Wendy as I come out and give her a smile and a nod. I like to think of it as a reward for telling me where Jimin is. It's good to keep employees on their feet.

As I walk down the passageway, I see Jimin's door is closed. I don't know how I feel, angry? Happy? Irritated? Relieved?

I swing the day open and Jimin gasps and jumps in fright.

"Wha-Jungkook, you can't just bardge in here like that" he says irritatedly.

"Where have you been?" I ask equally as annoyed, putting my hands on my hips.

"What do you mean? I can come and go as I please. I don't need to tell you" he says packing some paperwork into his briefcase. Jimin was wearing casual clothes, just a sweatpants and a t-shirt. His dark brown hair was messy too and plemp lips on full display. Makes me remember the last time I kissed them. It was heavenly. I've always liked this side of him.

I sigh, "I Is this about the other night?" I whisper ask him. Jimin's eyes widen, but then he returns back to normal and shrugs.
"I don't know what you're talking about", he says aggressively but then his movements slow and he releases a  painful sob, wrenching my heart.

Jimin begins to cry, tears streaming down his face.

"Hey, hey" I say gently and hastily walk to him to engulf him in a hug. Jimin is so small that he basically disappears in my hold. He doesn't hug me back, just stands limply, hands a his sides, while crying on my shoulder.

I run my fingers through his silky hair, which always smells like vanilla. His sobs get softer until they can't be heard any more.

I pull away to see that he's pouting and I chuckle. He's so cute. I wipe his tears away from his soft cheeks with my thumb.

"You okay now?" I ask, smiling gently at him. He nods, not making eye contact.

"Do you wanna get a coffee and talk about it?" I say, and he nods again.

"Come on" I say gently as I pick up his things and guide him out the door.

We take our seats at one of the tables in the café. It's a little busy, but it's a lively and positive vibe, so I didn't mind.

"What can I get you two?" the waitress asks.
