Secrets [NAMJIN]

12

The ride back to Seoul was short. As the city came closer, Jungkook became more anxious. He became fidgety and sighed every five minutes. Yoongi squeezed his hand lightly as if telling him that everything would be okay.

The ride to the city was shorter than Jungkook had remembered. He sighed as he saw a huge apartment coming in view and Soobin turning towards it.

"It's my apartment," Yoongi said. Jungkook hummed and smiled.

They were in front of the apartment. Soobin and Hueningkai had left once they dropped the trio to Yoongi's apartment. Jungkook gulped as Yoongi entered the punch code and the door clicked open.

"I am home."

"Oh, you came back?"

Jungkook's throat dried as he saw his Hoseokie hyung come out. He looked just as handsome as when he had left, except for some wrinkles. Jungkook waited for Hoseok to notice him. Hoseok went to Yoongi and gave him a brief kiss. Eunha looked at Jungkook and smiled as she saw the pain and happiness in his eyes. Hoseok finally, looked at Jungkook and gasped. He went near and touched Jungkook's cheek. He looked at Yoongi, "He came. You did it." Yoongi smiled and nodded. Hoseok hugged Jungkook tightly, "Gosh, I missed you."

Jungkook hugged back and cried, "I missed you too, hyung."

After the happy reunion, they sat on the couch talking about Jungkook's life. They came to know that he had run away to Australia. There he went to college and majored in photography. He came back and enlisted himself in the army and there due to his skills they trained him to be a spy.

Hoseok chuckled, "That explains why you are all bulked up."

Jungkook laughed, "Well, I had to."

Yoongi sighed, "Alright, lets order food. I don't want to cook right now."

"Pizza!"

Two people screamed at once. Eunha and Jungkook looked at each other and laughed.

Yoongi shook his head, "Fine."

When they fell into a comfortable silence, the bell rang. Eunha got up, "I'll go."

She came in and looked a bit nervous. They all looked past her and found Yoonji standing there. Staring at Jungkook. She took a shaky breath, "You came back."

Jungkook stood up and went to her. "Surprise."

Yoonji narrowed her eyes and kicked him on his foot.

Jungkook winced at the pain and held his leg, "Why would you do that?"

Yoonji huffed, "Why didn't you call me? You could've texted at least."

Jungkook stood up properly, "I said surprise."

Yoonji hit him on the shoulder, "Lier."

Jungkoook chuckled and hugged her tightly, "I am sorry. I didn't get time to call you. And you know how stupid I am. I forgot to text you. Forgive me?"

Yoonji returned the hug with a pout. But after a few seconds, she snuggled deeper into Jungkook.

Hoseok looked at them with confusion, "Can you explain to me, what's going on here?"

Jungkook broke the hug and smiled sheepishly, "Uhh, so we are kind of seeing each other."

Yoonji hit him on his arm, "What do you mean kind of? Oppa, we are dating. I was waiting for him to come back to tell you all about it."

Hoseok looked at Yoongi, who just shrugged.

Eunha clapped, "Okay, now that it is out, can we discuss my parents?"

Yoongi nodded and they sat on the couch. Jungkook spoke first, "What's the plan?"

Eunha smirked, "We will set them up for a blind date."

Hoseok shook his head, "Not gonna work. Namjoon would run away the moment he would know that he has a blind date with Seokjin."

Eunha nodded, "Exactly. That's why we will set them up with different people. Dad can't leave when there is a third person. And maybe they'll get jealous, or concerned and talk things out."

Yoonji nodded, "That's actually a good idea. It will give Seokjin hyung a chance to talk."

Yoongi hummed, "But what if Namjoon doesn't listen to him?"

Jungkook sighed, "We have to take the risk at least. They have to talk."

Eunha nodded enthusiastically, "But first, you'll have to meet both of them and also Tae samchon and Jiminie samchon too."

Jungkook sighed and nodded.

Seokjin was sitting in his house looking out of the window. The sky was turning into soft shades of pink and orange. He looked at the sun and smiled.

"Hyung, look at the sky. It looks so beautiful." Namjoon said as they sat on the rooftop of the college.

Seokjin smiled, "It's just turning shades, Joon-ah."

Namjoon shook his head and looked at Seokjin, "It is signalling the beginning of a new day."

Seokjin chuckled, "It's signalling darkness."

Namjoon took his hand, "Which would be followed by a bright sun. A new day. A new beginning."

Seokjin smiled and looked at the sky, "Now that I see it, it looks beautiful." He looked at Namjoon again, "Because I am with you."

Seokjin smiled sadly at the memories, "I guess they forgot to make a new Sun for me." He looked at the sky with teary eyes, "Please. I know I made a mistake. I have been repenting for it. Let the new Sun rise for me too."

He was distracted by the phone ring. He cleared his throat and cleaned his eyes, "Hello."

Sir, someone has come to meet you. I tried to make him leave, but he won't leave.

Seokjin rolled his eyes, "I will be there." He put on a cardigan and wore his glasses before going down.

"The glasses still look ugly on you."

Seokjin was in the living room when he heard the comment. He was angry and turned back. He felt like his lungs forgot how to breathe. His eyes were watery. He smiled through his tears. "Kookie." The words came out in almost a whisper.

Jungkook smiled and hugged Seokjin, hiding his face in Seokjin's neck. "I am sorry. I left you when you needed me the most."

Seokjin shook his head and broke the hug. He cupped Jungkook's face and wiped his tears with his thumb, "Hyung should be the one saying sorry. I left you all alone. I am sorry, Jungkookie."

Jungkook sniffled and smiled, "I missed you."

Seokjin ruffled his hair, "I missed you too. Do you have any plans?" Jungkook shook his head. "Good. Hyung will cook for you. We will have dinner together, yeah?"

Jungkook nodded and hugged Seokjin again. Seokjin smiled and closed his eyes, "I am glad that you are back."
