Promise (Jikook/Kookmin)- Complete

24

Jungkook can't leave. He can't because of Jinwoo. The little boy won't leave his side, being a cute baby koala that hugs his Dada.

When Jinwoo is sleeping, that is the perfect time for Jungkook to leave. He's not only spending his lunch hour with Jimin and Jinwoo but also dinner. He's not telling Hyolyn where he is, and he knows Hyolyn must be worried. Hyolyn didn't know he was spending time with Jimin.

"Can you stay?"

Jimin wants that. He wants Jungkook to stay. He wants Jungkook to be by his side, never to leave again.

"I-i... "

"Please... I'm... Pl... "

"I'll stay. But please... Don't cry."

Jungkook doesn't want to see Jimin cry. He can't. He just can't. It hurts him. Jimin wipes away his own tears, feeling happy when Jungkook chooses to stay.

Now both of them sat on the couch beside each other, but no one tried to start a conversation. Both were hesitant.

"I'm... " "You... "

Both of them spoke at the same time. It's kind of awkward. The situation is awkward for both of them.

"You can go first."

Jimin gives Jungkook a chance to start first. He wants Jungkook to speak his mind about what he thought about all the things that happened right now.

"I'm your husband?"

"I'm not lying."

Jimin seems sad. He thought that Jungkook thinks he was lying.

"No... Not like that."

"We have been married for two years."

"Oh... How we met?"

"At Joonie hyung's birthday party. That was the first time we met. And... That was love at first sight. You... you always try to flirt. But... I'm a shy person. Namjoon hyung and Jin hyung always help you. They're the best people for you to know everything about me."

Jimin is blushing. It's quite embarrassing for him to tell about their past moments. It is because Jungkook is the one who made a move. He's the one who does all goofy and romantic things to get Jimin's attention.

"I'm telling the truth.... "

Jimin said when he saw Jungkook's confused face.

"I-i believe what you said. I'm trying, trying to remember everything. But.. "

"It-its okay. Take your time. You can ask me anything."

"We live here? This mansion is ours?"

"Yes. We have everything here. You know, it's hard for us to go outside."

"Because I'm famous?"

"Yes... And because of, our secret marriage."

Jungkook knows about that. Hyolyn told him before. He read every 'gossip' from the internet.

"Must be hard for you then."

"No. I'm happy coz you're always with me."

Jimin sincerely said with all his attention to his husband,

"That I'm a good husband to you?"

"You are the best husband for me and the best father to Woonie. You can see Woonie is happy when he plays with you. He love you."

Of course, Jungkook sees it. Even Jungkook can feel it. How Jinwoo sits by his side. How Jinwoo hugged him. How Jinwoo held his hand. And how Jinwoo kissed him. He can see it. He can feel it. It's love.

"I'm glad to hear that."

"I'm glad that you're my husband."

Jungkook smiles. He's feeling happy hearing good words from Jimin.

"I'm sorry if I made you cry. I'm... "

"I'm... I'm happy that you are alive. I'm happy to see that you're safe. I'm very thankful."

Jungkook nodded. He checked his phone when he received a text from Hyolyn. He took a deep breath before saying something to Jimin.

"I need to go... "

"Why?"

"Hyolyn is... "

"She's not your fiance."

It hurts Jimin when his own husband has someone else on his mind. It hurts.

"But she's.... "

"It's ok. Just....go. "

"Jimin... "

Jimin led the way to the front door. He opened the door for his husband. Jungkook knows that he shouldn't go. He knows he should stay with Jimin, his husband. He want to know more, more about his life. But with Hyolyn's mom's condition, he needs to go. He feels bad for Hyolyn, the one that saved him.

"Hyolyn needs me. I will come back. I am pro... "

"Thank you for coming."

As soon as Jungkook stepped outside the house, the door was closed. He deserves it. He knows.

Jungkook walked away with heavy steps, while Jimin pressed his back against the door, sliding down and crying his heart out. This thing hurts.

Jimin hurts because he has to let Jungkook go. But, what can he do when his husband doesn't know him? Yes, he needs to give Jungkook time. Time for everything. But, what if his heart changes? What if he falls in love with Hyolyn? What will happen to their marriage? He hates thinking about that; he hates it.
