Love Will Remember | Jikook [COMPLETED] 🔞

Chapter - 61

The lack of warmth was what Jimin registered when he woke the next time. He rolled under the sheet, feeling better and relaxed. The curtains were open, giving him a view of the city lights. It was dark and he frowned lifting himself on his elbow as he looked for his phone.

It was fifteen minutes to eight in the evening. Shit. He had slept all day. He rubbed the heel of his palm over his eyes and threw his legs off the bed, heading to the bathroom to freshen up. When he went outside, Jungkook was on his laptop working diligently. His head snapped up, eyes brightening before an unsure expression crossed his features.

Jungkook placed the laptop on the table and stood with a forced smile. "Dinner is ready," he said softly, averting his gaze to the floor.

Jimin nodded and made his way to the kitchen counter. Jungkook flitted around the kitchen, heating their food and platting it before bringing it to the counter that doubled as their dining table.

"I made tteok-bokki with chicken."

Jimin hummed, accepting the plate and dug in. Jungkook had always been a great cook. He started cooking when he was still a teenager and has only gotten better over the years. The silence settled between them. Unspoken words clung heavily over them. Jimin didn't know how to start a conversation first. He bared his heart that morning and they still had so much to talk. Usually, it was Jungkook who gave him the silent treatment. Jimin didn't mean to shut him out, he simply didn't know where to begin.

Soon he finished eating and pushed the empty plate aside, waiting for Jungkook to finish. Jungkook once again took the empty plates to wash while Jimin sat sipping the water, seemingly lost in thoughts.

"Hyung, do you wanna go for a drive?"

"Huh?" Jimin looked up blinking.

Jungkook shifted on his feet. "The weather is nice. Maybe we can take a walk by the Han River."

Jimin nodded. "I'll get changed."

A few minutes later, they hit the road. Jimin welcomed the fresh air and change of scenery. His thoughts were racing but his mind was oddly calm. The silence settled between them. He could sense Jungkook's gaze on him from time to time, but the silence wasn't unnerving or uncomfortable like before.

He closed his eyes just enjoying the weather and the drive. Jimin didn't realize how much time had passed. It appeared as if they were driving forever when the car finally slowed down and Jungkook parked in the designated space. Jimin got out with a sigh, taking in the pleasant view, and pulled the hood of his hoodie over his head.

They both walked side by side, taking a stroll along the river before settling on a bench that offered a great view of the river. Jimin admired the luxury yachts in the distance, relishing the tranquility. Jungkook was silent, observing the scene.

A few minutes later, Jungkook reached for Jimin's hand, threading their fingers together. They stayed like that, just two people soaking up in the serenity of their surroundings. Jungkook's phone buzzed, interrupting their moment. The youngest apologized before taking the call and walking away.

Jimin sighed, crossing his legs and leaning on the backrest of the bench. When Jungkook did not return after a few minutes, Jimin threw a glance over his shoulders to the direction Jungkook headed earlier. A frown tugged at his mouth, seeing no signs of the youngest. His eyes darted to the trees. They were at the least crowded side of the park. There were a couple of people here and there, but they were too distant.

Where did he go?

He jumped to his feet and started to look around. Suddenly, a muffled voice from his left caught his attention. Jimin's senses went on high alert as he rushed to the source of the sound. This area was a bit darker with no street lamps and a bit was hidden from the public because of the trees and fancy bushes.
