It Happened In Seoul || JJK ✔

Chapter Ten

It is okay if your heart stops for a while when you see him. It is totally allowed ;)

Translated from Korean

There are times when we as humans do not know how we feel. Being human means to be confused, unsure, insecure, doubtful and flawed. We learn as we grow with time. But no matter how much we learn we cannot achieve the level of perfectness which is divine. There exists no one in the world who knows exactly what he or she is doing.

Jadeline was one such human. She wanted to be grateful. Grateful to have a healthy body and mind, grateful to have a loving cousin, grateful to have food, shelter and water. She had so many luxuries in this moment that people could only dream of. She had a Jacuzzi in her new washroom damn it. But she could still not feel grateful. She felt sad and angry. She missed her Dad. She missed the comfort of her own bed. Yes, this new bed was bigger than her older one. Yes, it had softer sheets. Yes, it had fluffier pillows. But, this was not her bed.

She wanted to be mature about everything but she could not stop the tears from falling from her eyes. She did not want to stain the beautiful white pillow cover with her tears but she could not stop them. She sat up on the bed and put the pillow on her mouth to stop the sound of the sob from escaping. She did not want to worry her cousin or any of his band mates who were so kind to her earlier. She did not want to burden them even more with her emotional baggage, she had already intruded their home, she did not want to intrude their life.

She wiped her tears quickly when she heard soft knocks at her door.

"Come in." She said with a hoarse voice.

Jungkook opened the door and stood near it. He had two cups in his hands.

"I usually drink banana milk before bed. I saw light coming out of your room and as your neighbour I thought it was my duty to offer you some as well." He offered her one cup.

She looked at him confusingly. Neighbours, what?

"My room is across from yours." Jungkook answered her when she saw her questioning look.

"Oh thank you!" Jadeline took the cup from his hands.

"Please sit down. It is your home I should not have to invite you." Jadeline gave a short laugh. After saying thank you in English she face palmed herself mentally and then talked in Korean. She made a note to only talk in Korean from now on. It was impolite to talk to someone in a language they did not know.

Jungkook took a seat on the couch near the door. She was sitting on her bed the quilt was covering her up till her waist. Somehow she looked tinier than before with her sad expression and 'I am curvy and I like it' shirt. He saw her tear stained face and almost immediately felt his heart wrench. He could not see people cry. It made him emotional as well. The Jungkook earlier would never admit to his emotions but living with such brilliant people over the years has really helped him a lot in opening up. Their ARMY knew about this emotional side of Jungkook but he did not feel embarrassed about it instead he felt happy that they knew him this well. He loved the connect he felt with them.

"It is your home as well now. And this is your room. You have all the right in the World to give or deny access to anyone you want to."

"I did not get an opportunity earlier to apologise for what happened at the café." Jadeline started but Jungkook interrupted her.

"There is nothing to apologise. It was not your fault I did not say anything. If anything I should be the one apologising for spilling coffee on you."

Jungkook looked at her playing nervously with her hair, which was in a ponytail and rested on one side of her shoulder.

"I guess we are even and no one needs to apologise then." She replied, smiling.

Her lips curved up in the cutest way which made Jungkook smile as well.

After that they both drank the milk in silence. The door was still ajar from earlier. Jungkook did not want to close it behind him so as not to make her uncomfortable. He may never have lived with a girl because he did not have a sister or any girl as a friend for that matter but he knew how to respect someone's privacy.

Jungkook stood up and took the empty cup from her hand. He switched off the lights before going to close the door.

"Please don't tell anything to Namjoon Oppa." She nearly pleaded him.

Jungkook stopped at the doorway.

She knew that Jungkook knew about her crying earlier.

"I don't want him to feel like I am sad here because I am not. I just don't know how to feel right now." Jadeline wanted to explain it better but she could not find the right words.

"I know. I won't tell him anything. Take all the time you need to process everything."

"Thank you. Goodnight Jungkook."

She sighed.

"Goodnight Jadeline."

Jungkook closed the door and left.

He wanted to dislike her for barging into their lives like she had but he could not bring himself to. Hating someone was something that Jungkook just could not do. He could not muster that emotion inside of him. And she looked so vulnerable which made him upset. She was too young to be tested like this. Life was so unfair.

Namjoon Hyung was not wrong in making her priority right now. Maybe she was not as bad as he had thought.

Besides she drank the banana milk happily and anyone who had such good choice could not be a bad person Jungkook concluded.
