Promise (Jikook/Kookmin)- Complete

37

"You still don't remember? Not even a little?"

Jimin and Jungkook's relationship has been improving for some time. Jungkook does his job well. He is a good husband for sure. He is a good father, absolutely. But Jimin wants the old Jungkook. Enthusiastic Jungkook. Cheerful Jungkook. Jungkook who talks a lot. Jungkook who love him without a doubt.

"I'm not."

Every question that Jimin gives is always answered short by Jungkook.

"Even your first kiss?"

"No."

"What about our wedding day?"

Jungkook shook his head.

"The first day we adopted Woonie?"

"Jimin, no..."

Jimin sighed. He did everything he could to help Jungkook regain his memories. He talked a lot about their life before and after marriage. He showed their memorable pictures. He took him to their favorite date place before they got married. He tried a lot of things, but still no progress. In fact, a month ago, Jungkook began to isolate himself. He is very pensive and silent. There isn't much conversation between Jimin and Jungkook. And worst of all, Jungkook sleeps on the couch or in another room.

"I don't know what to do anymore."

"What do you mean?"

"I've tried everything. I don't know what's happening to us. Did you love me? Or do you even want this?"

"Want what?"

"Our marriage. Our relationship."

Jungkook was ready to snap, and he didn't want Jimin to be the first one he lashes out at in his anger. But everything made him stressed.

"Do you think I'm okay with all of this? I try. I'm trying hard to stay here with you and Woonie. I want to be a good husband and father for both of you. But I don't know if I can. I'm trying, Jimin. I am...."

"Try harder."

That was the wrong word to use with an angry Jungkook. Jungkook is already in a mess. Lately, he thinks a lot of things. His mind is occupied with Jimin and Woonie.

"I'm here. What else do you want?"

"I want my husband."

"I'm your husband. But the difference is, I can't remember anything about you! I'm not your old Jeon Jungkook. I'm not your old husband. I'm not yours."

There was a loud bang as the bedroom door slammed. Jungkook left, leaving Jimin all alone.

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

All of them enjoyed a peaceful dinner. No one was talking except for Hyolyn.

"Oppa, can I use your music room? I saw a piano, and I want to play it."

Jungkook smiled and began to hum, ever so quietly.

"Ah, one more thing, why the garden gate lock? I want to..."

"That is my place. No one can enter without my permission."

Jimin cut in before Hyolyn finished her question. The garden is his favorite place. He put in a lot of hard work and time to make the garden beautiful. The garden is his safest place, the place he always spent with Jungkook before.

"Hyolyn whined as she wanted Jungkook to support her.

"Do whatever you want to do."

That was Jungkook's answer to Hyolyn.

"Are you deaf? I do not like strangers entering my place."

"You're the one who let her live here. So why shouldn't she go wherever she wants?"

Jungkook mocking his husband.

"What is wrong with you? Did you really want to turn this into an argument?"

"You started all of this."

Jimin slammed his hand on the table and screamed at Jungkook.

"I'll do that because of you! I let her stay here because of you! I don't want you to feel guilty if..."

Jimin starts to cry. He can't believe that Jungkook had changed in the blink of an eye.

"O-okay, do whatever you want. I don't care anymore." Jimin said to Jungkook and Hyolyn.

This is Jungkook's mansion. He lives in the Jungkook mansion. So, Jungkook has rights.

Jimin lifted Jinwoo from the chair. Jinwoo was stunned, looking at the yelling and argument scene between his fathers. When he looked at crying Jimin, he also cried.
