Chapter 11

This chapter is the first leg of the Quad update marathon.  It's terrain is open and a little long.   Will it have an effect on the heart? 

JK is somewhat enjoying his time with Lisa, Namjoon, Rosé and Tae. JK is reminiscing about Jin while he is joining in with the laughter. Lisa notices how JK stares off into the distance sometimes. She knows that JK's love for Jin is so strong that them being apart won't weaken it.  She tries to make him smile and interact more. JK knows Lisa is trying her best to help him but seeing Jin with Ken really hits him hard in the heart. JK decides to call it a night and leaves early for home. He showers and lies on his bed in the nude. He longs for the warmth of Jin. He grabs a body pillow that Jin used before holding it tightly and falling asleep.

********************

Jin and Ken arrives at Jisoo's pre-wedding party. When Jin walks in the building, he immediately becomes the topic as usual. He nods and waves to the guests as he looks for Jisoo. Jisoo and her fiancé, JaBeom, are talking to a guest when Jisoo notices the crowd attention have focused to someone. She knows it's Jin. Jisoo and JaBeom go to meet Jin. "Hey Jin. Glad you could make it." Jisoo acknowledges Ken's presence with a smile. Jin extends his hand to shake JaBeom's hand. "JaBeom, the man who won the heart of Seoul's most beautiful woman."   "Thank you Mr. Kim. That is so true.  It is nice seeing you again, please call me JB." He puts his hands around Jisoo's waist. "And you are?" Jisoo directs the question to Ken. "Please forgive me. This is Ken." Jin introduces Ken. "It's nice to finally meet you Ken." "Likewise, Ms. Jisoo. And congratulations on your big day tomorrow."   "Thank you. Well Jin, my mom is waiting to see you. Ken there is a reserved table you are welcome to sit at. I will not keep him long. Drinks and food are available, help yourself."  "Thanks, Jisoo." Ken bows to Jisoo, and she walks away being escorted by her fiancé and Jin.

After visiting with Jisoo's mother, Jin goes to the table where Ken is seated. They have a drink while talking, laughing, and enjoying the festivities with Jisoo family. Everyone is on the dance floor. Jin and Ken are each dancing with Jisoo's family members. Ken bumps into Jin. It causes Jin to turn around. Soon they are dancing together and laughing. JK dancing with Jin at the club flashes in Jin's head. He decides to stop dancing and goes back to his seat. Ken is about to Join him when two guests pulls him back onto the dance floor. Jin and Ken looks at each other and laugh. Jin is left with only his thoughts. He looks at his phone and read the last text he sent to JK "You are my Date, Week, Month, and Year. I love you Jungkook-ah." Jin smiles to himself. He is having bittersweet memories.

"Wow. Who knew Grandmas will have more energy than what I have?"   "They loved you."   "You think? They are such sweet women." Ken chuckles. "Well I hate to ruin this night. But I must retire."   "Same. I have to be up early for the wedding rehearsal."   "Why don't you cancel Caso Jin, I'll take you home."  "You sure? It's a little out of your way."  "I don't mind."

They arrive at Jin's mansion. "You mind if I use your bathroom?" "Of course not. Jin and Ken enter the mansion and Ken uses the bathroom. Jin goes to his bar and is at an island when Ken finds him there. Jin gets water from the island's refrigerator. "Here Ken, have some water. "Thanks. I must say Jin for a stud like yourself in high school, I would have never known that you had such exquisite taste." Jin looks around and smiles. "My home in the Sates is more of high school me, you would easily recognize the me of our high school days there."

"You have a home in the States?" "Yes." "You visit there often?" "No last time I was in the states was with JK."   "Jin, are you two still together?"  "Huh?" Jin is puzzled as to why Ken asks that question. "JK was at Chelle's, he saw us together and didn't seem upset and didn't come over and speak to us. It was weird for a couple like yourselves."  "Just acclimating within a timely separation. There is nothing weird about his actions when you add that factor into it."   "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked."  "No. Its fine my friend."
