Chapter 40

"It's okay JK. Jin told me everything. You don't have to say anything. Go ahead and let it out, it's okay to cry." JK sobs uncontrollably and Lisa waits to see if JK wants to talk. "Lisa, I miss him so much."   "I know JK."   "I love him so much. Why does this keep happening? What did I do to deserve this life?"    "You didn't do anything intentionally JK.  Sometimes life offers us choices where there are consequences, and we hope that we have made the wiser choice. You made a mistake, and consequences arose from that mistake. It's hard for me to say, but the sooner you accept the consequences of your action and learn from them, the faster the process of coming to terms with everything will be."

"I know Lisa, but it hurts too much. I know what I did was wrong. If you ask me do I regret hurting Jin like this, my answer is yes. I want this pain to go away. I don't want to feel like this. I don't know what to do anymore. I can't imagine a life without Jin."   "Don't talk that way JK. I know how you feel. I never told you this, but I cheated on Namjoon with my ex. I felt like the fucking scum of the earth, I felt what was life without Namjoon. I cried and begged him to come back to me. He didn't. I was terrified, frustrated and it felt like I wanted to die. But I worked on myself before he accepted me back. I'm not saying this will work for you, but we figured it out."  "But I don't want to live without Jin. He is my everything."    

"JK, listen, I came because Jin called me out of concern for you. He felt you might need me. He could've told me whenever he planned on telling the others, but he didn't. His concern was still you. I'm not connecting any dots. Just stating the obvious."   "I'm tired Lisa, but I want to fight for him. This has been a nonstop rollercoaster ride. I just want to get off." Lisa rubs JK's arms softly.   "I don't know how Namjoon and Tae will react to the news but when they come by, just do as they say. They are only doing whatever is necessary for you."    Lisa looks at JK stroking his hair as he cries.

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

Everybody is enjoying everything that they see at the wedding venue. They are in awe of the wedding Jin planned for JK. They are being served dinner at the venue. Jin stands up. "I know this is not the way to make an announcement, but the wedding has been called off." The Chief asks, "Pushed to a later date?"   "No. I've called the wedding off. I rather not elaborate on this further. Please enjoy your stay in Paris."   "Everyone is looking at each other in shock. Jin walks out and is followed by Hoseok. He turns to see Hoseok. "Hoseok, just let it be."    "You just told a room full of loved ones that you called off the wedding to the one person you loved the most and just walked the hell out. These people came here for you and you treat them like they are unwanted guest in your house. They deserve an explanation."    "JK cheated with his ex."    Hoseok changes his face expression. "Oh. Okay. I can see how they should just leave it at what you said earlier." Jin looks at Hoseok. "Anything else? If not, I will see you back in Seoul. Enjoy Paris." Jin walks away from Hoseok.

Lisa phone rings, it's Namjoon. She kisses JK's forehead and walks out of the room to answer the phone. "Hey baby."    "I just heard that the wedding is off."   "I know baby." Lisa sighs. "How is he?"    "He needs you and Tae. I'll wait until you get here and take the kids back to the room." "Okay babe, I'm on my way." Namjoon and Tae goes to JK.   After a while, they manage to enliven JK although JK is still hurting. "Come on JK, get dress. We're going out." Tae prods JK. "I don't feel up to it guys."   "Look, Jackson called and said you've already promised him you would go out with him, so?  Anyway, this was supposed to be a bachelor party for you without you even knowing that it is designated as that. It's already planned. Don't let the guess down, they don't know of anything regarding what happened between you and Jin, they are just there to party, so come on JK. Do this for us." JK remembered what Lisa said about doing what Namjoon and Tae say. She must have known about the party and wanted him to not lay around lamenting. JK relinquishes. "Ok guys."
