Promise (Jikook/Kookmin)- Complete

25

"Oppa!"

Hyolyn let out a loud scream. Jungkook was a little startled, so he let out a yelp. It's quite late at night when Jungkook returned home. His journey took almost 3 hours.

"Why don't you sleep? It's late."

"I'm waiting for you. Where were you?"

"I-... I have things to do."

"Did you go to see Jimin?"

Hyolyn suspects that Jungkook is going to meet Jimin. Hyolyn knows this because Jungkook always asks her about Jimin. She felt forced to give Jungkook her phone so he could search on the internet about him.

"Yes... "

Hyolyn just hums. If she could, she would bring Jungkook away from this place so she could be with Jungkook, just the two of them. But she just couldn't do that.

"I hope after this, if you wanna go somewhere, please tell me. I'm worried."

"I'm sorry. Go to sleep Hyolyn."

"You too Oppa."

Hyolyn leaves Jungkook with mixed feelings. Jungkook seems stressed with everything. Hyolyn witnesses how lately Jungkook loves being alone, excluding himself from Hyolyn and her mother. That might be the reason why Hyolyn brings back Jungkook to his supposed life. She is happy when Jungkook gets to know about his past, but she's sad and afraid because she knows Jungkook will leave her as soon as his memory recovers.

The first thing Jungkook did as soon as he entered his room was text Namjoon. He got a new mobile phone from Namjoon.

xxxxx
Hyung, it's Jungkook. I'm sorry for disturbing you late at night, but can you give me Jimin's phone number?

Without waiting long, Jungkook got a reply from Namjoon..

Namjoon hyung
It's Ok. I'm still working.
01167854389

Kookie
Thanks, hyung.

Jungkook saves Jimin's number on his mobile phone. He really wants to call or at least text Jimin because he can feel that Jimin is crying when he gets home. Jungkook hits his head, hesitates on whether to call or not.

He hesitates when he decides to see Namjoon. He hesitates to pick up his son. He hesitates to stay a night at Jimin's house, or more accurately, their own house. Now he hesitates to make a call to his husband.

"Should I?"

Jungkook mumbled to himself, his hand playing with his mobile phone. After about 20 minutes of thinking hard, Jungkook finally dialed Jimin's number. He was waiting for an answer.

"H-hello?"

Jungkook clearly heard Jimin's groggy and husky voice. Jimin must be sleeping.

"Hello?"

"Hello... "

"Who is this?"

"Jungkook... "

There's no sound made by Jimin. Jungkook just hears soft breathing on the line.

"Jimin?"

"Where did you get my number?"

Of course, Jimin asked about it even though he knew that Namjoon hyung is the only person who will give the number to Jungkook.

"I'm asking Namjoon hyung."

"It's late. Do you need anything?"

"No... "

"So why did you call?"

"I-i... How are you?"

"What?"

"No, I want... Are you Ok?

That's the thing that Jungkook really wants to know. This is the reason why Jungkook calls his 'husband'.

"Yea... "

One word. It's enough for Jungkook to say that Jimin is not ok.

"I'm sorry."

"It's ok..."

"You're not ok. I made you cry didn't I?"

Jimin was silent for a moment. Jungkook indeed made him cry, but he couldn't blame Jungkook.

"I'm ok... "

"I'm sorry."

"Stop saying sorry. Don't worry Kookie. I'm ok. I understand."

"Can...we meet? Tomorrow?"

Jungkook tries to dig into his previous life story. He wants to know his past. He wants to get to know his husband and son. He wants to know everything.

"Tomorrow?"

"Yeah, lunch hour."

Jimin hesitates for a second because he never went outdoors freely with Jungkook. They set a limit for themselves before: no outdoor activities. But now it's different, right? Everybody knows that they're married. So, it's okay, right?

"Ok..."

Jungkook smiles when he hears Jimin agreeing to their meeting tomorrow.

"But, I don't know where we should meet. Any Idea?"

"There is one restaurant beside Namjoon hyung office. Can we meet there?"

"Ah, yes. Chinese restaurant. Ok, we meet there then."

"OK... "

"Urm... Go to sleep. Now it's late."

Jungkook said to Jimin.

"You're the one who called me. I was already sleeping before. Now I can't sleep. You should be responsible for this."

Jimin giggles when he heard Jungkook chuckle.

"Ok, what should I do?"

"Hurm...You should talk to me. You will accompany me until I sleep."

"No problem. I promise!"

"Do-don't..."

"Why? I am prom... "

"Can you sing for me?"

Jimin asked if he surely doesn't want to hear that word. Besides, Jungkook's voice can calm him. That's what he need right now.
