Epiphany | YoonJin (Short Story!)

Part 1: Introduction

Main Character Introductions:

Kim Seokjin: His lover is Min Yoongi, they've been together for quite some time. However, things are currently a little rocky between the two. Seokjin is always putting in effort and attempting to do everything he can to make Yoongi happy, he always considers his boyfriend's feelings above his own.

Min Yoongi: He is a hard worker, some may even call him a "work-aholic" for it. He's a producer and has a boyfriend named Kim Seokjin. However, lately he hasn't been making time for him and is always at work.

SJ P.O.V:

I sleepily rolled over onto the empty space beside me, where my boyfriend would usually be asleep at this time. "Hmm?" My long, dark eyelashes fluttered gently as I began to wake up. Still tired, I stare blankly at the mess of candy wrappers on the end table beside my bed.

He must've gone back to work..

The thought crosses my mind as I slowly sit up, stretching my tired muscles before pulling my thick white blanket off of me. "Aish! It's freezing!" I shiver as I quickly get out of bed to turn on the heater.

Once I warm up a little I head towards the kitchen to make myself breakfast.

I finish my breakfast and pull out my phone to text my boyfriend. I've decided to send him the same, cutesy text I usually would send him.

Contact: Lil meow meow.

SJ: Hey honey! I hope you have a good day at work! Love & Miss you!

..........

A couple of hours pass and my phone begins to ring. I check the caller ID to see my friend Kim Namjoon's name flashing on the screen. I take a deep breath and answer the call.

SJ: Hello?
NJ: Hey Jin.... How have you been?
SJ: I'm fine? It's been a while..... did something happen?
NJ: Can we meet up?

His voice sounds a bit troubled over the phone. A deep, built up sigh escapes from him on the other line as he continues to speak.

NJ: Does the cafe near your place work for you?
SJ: Um.... yeah, sure.. That sounds good. I'll see you in about 15 minutes.
NJ: Okay.... See you then.

He hangs up the phone. I could feel my heart squeeze tightly in my chest, the anxiety building up in the pit of my stomach as I went back to my room and got ready to leave the house.

Yoongi doesn't really like it when I go out to meet with other guys. Because of that, I usually stay indoors and wait for him to get off work.

I cook and clean for him, which makes him happy. I personally take pride in making those I love happy. But, lately he's been coming home later and later at night. By the time he's home, I'm asleep and dinner is already cold. And when he is home, he goes straight to bed..
