Chapter 14

This chapter is the fourth and final leg of the Quad marathon. It's terrain has peaks and valleys.  Chances for heart escalation or de-escalation.   

Bogum reaches behind himself. He is about to pull a gun out, but the chief quickly moves in and tackles him. JK stands in shock when he realizes what is going on. He sees Jin running toward him, everything seems to be in slow motion. Jin embraces him and the grip Jin has on JK makes JK settle into his arms. He hears Bogum calling his name. "JK. JK please don't let them do this to us. He doesn't love you JK. Look at me. Please. Look at me." JK buries his face into Jin's chest to avoid looking at Bogum. JK can feel the tension rising in Jin. "Just let it go Jin. Whatever you're thinking let it go." Jin looks at JK and nods his head while listening to Bogum talk. Jin wants to beat his ass but JK being safe is what matters to him. Although it was hard to let go of his anger, looking in JK's eyes eases the tension Jin is feeling.   Several police officers remove Bogum.

Jin and Caso takes JK home. JK doesn't talk throughout the ride and Jin just stares at him. Jin walks with JK into his penthouse. JK remains silent while Jin bathes him, put him in the bed nude and lies in the bed with him. JK put his head on Jin's chest and falls asleep listening to Jin's heartbeat. Jin kisses the top of JK's head. JK's monitor sounds. "Mr. Jeon, Incoming call. Caller Taehyung." JK doesn't wake up. Jin knows Tae is probably worried so he answers.
"JK." "He's asleep. Shall I wake him?" "No. Let him rest. Let him know I called." "I think he can use you all now. Right now, he might be to out of it to know it's me that's here." "Jin, don't be that way. He knows it's you. He always knows it's you. And sure, we will be there."

They hang up and Jin kisses JK on the head again. He hears Lisa calling JK's name. He covers JK's nude body. He tries to move but JK closes in on him some more. Although he's asleep, he subconsciously doesn't want Jin to move. Lisa walks in and notices JK asleep and Jin looking as if he is trying to move. Lisa whispers. "No, please don't move. Its fine. How is he doing?" "He has been silent since the incident." "I'll go make some warm tea for the both of you. Maybe when I come back up, he'll be up." "I'm sorry." "No. it's okay. I'm happy you are here with JK. I'll be back." Jin knows it is awkward but somehow Lisa eased the awkwardness. He whispers in JK's ear, "Jungkook-ah. I love you."

JK moves a little and opens his eyes. He looks at Jin and smiles and still doesn't say a word. Jin searches his eyes. He sees so much emotion that JK can't convey. He smiles back at him and rubs his lips with his thumb while looking in his eyes and tells him again, "I love you Jungkook-ah."

Lisa comes back in with their tea. JK and Jin both sit up. Lisa place the tea down and embraces JK who is covered with a sheet that Jin is holding tightly onto to keep it from exposing JK's nude body to Lisa. She hands JK and Jin their tea. "Whenever you are ready to talk JK, I'll be downstairs and Jin, thank you for remembering what I said." "You're welcome." Lisa smiles at Jin and walks out of the room.

"Isa whispered in your ear while you were in a coma. You heard her?" "Yes, I heard her." "What did she say?" Jin looks at JK and gently pulls him close to him, so that JK is resting in his arms again. "She told me to take care of you, but I almost lost you today. I almost," JK knows that Jin is choking back tears. He quickly lifts his head so that he and Jin are looking in each other eyes. "You didn't lose me Jin. Every breath I'm taking right now, is because of you. The reason Lisa asked you to take care of me is because she knows me better than anyone. Since my parents' death, she has always felt it was upon her to make sure that I'm taking care of myself. She never trusted my words when I say I'm fine, she only trusted her instincts when it came to me. For Lisa to relinquish her trust and place that trust in you, means a hell of a lot." Jin kisses his thumb and slowly run his thumb across JK lips.

"Do you trust me Jungkook-ah?"  "JK kisses Jin's thumb. "Yes." Jin gives JK a warm smile. "Lisa is downstairs. You should go." "You're not joining us?" "Don't worry I'll be here. Go." Jin watches as JK dresses. He is not watching in amusement of JK's defined body, he is starring at a love that he almost lost, again. JK dresses and before he walks out the door, Jin grabs his hand. "I love you so much Jungkook-ah." JK smiles at Jin. "I love you so much too." Jin lies back down and soon falls asleep with JK's scent surrounding him.

"Thanks for coming Lisa." No need to ever thank me. I love being here for you. Where is Jin? Will he be joining us?" "No. I think he wants us to talk without him being a distraction. Besides, he looked tired." "Well maybe he can get some rest while we talk. How are you doing?" "I don't know Isa. I honestly don't know. It's like knowing I'm here but I'm not connecting to my reality. So much has happened to me over the months and I'm not sure, but maybe I've become numb to it all. My life was in jeopardy today but that's not the pressing thing that is on my mind." "Well what's on your mind?" "Fucking Jin." Lisa spits out her drink. "Okay big head. TMI. I don't know what to say about the feeling numb part, but I always wanted to tell you how strong of a person you are. Anybody that has went through what have happened to you, would have been admitted to a psych ward or couldn't completely function in society. But you, Jeon Corp, and your Charity Organization are thriving. And, you still have the most handsome man in South Korea upstairs in your room." JK smiles at Lisa with the words of what he just told Lisa echoing in his mind.

"Thanks, but it's has been time that I felt like I was going to lose it Lisa. I'm sorry for shutting you out of my life that time. It's just you reminded me so much of Jin at the time. The caring, decision making, and looking out for me. I felt I was losing myself. I felt it was time for me to start looking out for myself and to do that I had to shut you out, Tae out, and Jin. That day you saw me with Bogum, and I made you leave, I knew it hurt you and I'm so sorry Lisa. Please forgive me."

"Yes, it hurt JK and there is no need to ask for forgiveness because you were right. I came there that day to tell you off but when I left, I thought, what am I doing? JK is capable of making good decisions and whatever life choices he makes, I should support him and love him no differently. Honestly, seeing you with Bogum, I kind of hurt for Jin. I wanted you with Jin. He is the only person I trust with your life." "Why Isa." "Because Jin is so guarded with his life and you are his life, JK. He loves you so damn much. Mom and dad would be swooning over Jin if they were still here." They both smile.

"Well I must go. I have to get the boys from Joon's mother and besides I'm sure fucking Jin is still on your mind. Bye Big head." The two hugs and Lisa leaves. JK goes upstairs and sees that Jin is asleep. He climbs in the bed, trying not to wake him but Jin opens his eyes and smiles at how cute JK looks while trying to creep into the bed to keep from waking him. JK notices Jin watching him with a smile. Jin pulls JK in and rests his face in JK's neck and falls back to sleep. Feeling Jin breathing on his neck, put JK to sleep. After some time has passed, Jin phone rings and he wakes up.

"Chief." "Hey. How is JK?" "He is sleep. But he is fine." "That's good to hear. Thank you son for respecting my authority on this, I know it was hard to do. Charges have been filed and Bogum is booked." "Thank you for being there for him and I will inform him of our phone call." "Son, we will like for JK to be at the family BBQ this weekend. It's time to introduce him to his family." Jin smiles to himself and looks at sleeping JK. "Will do. We will be there." "Great. Talk to you later and I know you will take care of JK." "That I will do." Jin places the phone on the table beside the bed, smiles to himself again, lies back down with JK, and falls asleep.
