Mending A Broken Heart (1/2)
Whoosh!A sound of a rocket bottle launching was heard somewhere around the park…Kim Seokjin slumped on one of the empty wooden benches with a sullen expression. The gloomy atmosphere around him justified the tinge of heavy breeze blowing past his stiff body.Despite his ‘don’t-you-dare-talk-to-me’ aura, you can never deny his astounding looks proven by his beautiful face, big doe eyes, cute nose, and pouty red lips.Unfortunately, his soft blonde hair served as a mere distraction with his fringes intentionally covering his swollen eyes. His back was crouched and his head was hanging low as if carrying all the pain he had felt all throughout his 24 years of existence. His thoughts drifting off as memories of a recent major incident started invading his clouded mind and broken heart.I was the one who seduced him…
“A blindfold is all you need...” I said as I straddled the man I love infront of me.
“It’ll be just as if your beloved Jiminwas here in your arms…” I muttered under my breath as I kissed him on the lips.
His cold hands felt so good against my back… I love you so much Taehyung-ah…
But then…
“Jimin-ah…” He moaned as I forced myself to him.Hearing him say that person's name…I know, it’s already over before it can even begin...I was utterly defeated...All that’s left was the memory of his touch…
My love will never be returned…
I thought that my feelings would get through him if we had sex but…
I clenched my fist as droplets of tears fell from my eyes filled with void…
Suddenly…
A crashing sound was heard!
Seokjin was surprised as a rocket bottle landed a few inches infront of him. Seconds after, a handsome young man walked towards his direction picking it up.
His solitary wrecker looked at him and was quite taken aback after noticing tears streaming down his face. Realizing this, he quickly wiped it off with the sleeves of his shirt feeling a little embarassed.He was then startled when he was suddenly grabbed by the wrist and was pulled up from his seat.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Jeon Jungkook.” The stranger introduced himself as he kept on pulling him towards the other side of the park.
“Huh? What the?! Yah! Let go of me! What’s up with you?! Yah!” He kept on wriggling out of the guy's grasp to no avail until they reached a spot where a group of three old men were seated on the grass drinking soju and happily chatting with each other.“Kookie-ah! Did you find the rocket? Oh, a newcomer?” One of them asked.Kookie-ah??? Like seriously???Jungkook just simply nodded.
“Welcome, please join us!” They invited.“Here you go, a little something for our new friend.” One of them handed him a can of fruit juice.
“Cheers!” The three oldies exclaimed in unison.
“A-actually, I’m just…” Before he could even finish his sentence, Jungkook gently stroke his head running his hand through his strands.
“It’s gonna be okay.” He assured In a very caring tone.
“Yah, Kookie! Come over here a sec! This launch is going to be perfect!” One of the grandpas who’s playing with the rocket called out.
“Coming!” He replied after giving him a quick warm smile.
The feel of his hands just now, it was like...No! Of course not! Am I crazy? There’s no way!He then found himself seated with the group of old men finding it impossible to disappear into thin air. He didn't want to be rude so he told them his name without even knowing the exact reason why he's even there in the first place.“So your name is Kim Seokjin? Okay, then your Jinnie-ah!” The one seated on his right exclaimed.
“Jinnie-ah?” He repeated feeling rather awkward with his new found nickname.
“You see Jinnie-ah, Mr. Kang had always wanted to be an astronaut so Kookie organized this little rocket launching party for him. And just in case you're a little curious, we were able to get to know each other through him too. We're his previous employers from his different part-time jobs." Grandpa on his left explained. Well, not that he actually cared.“By the way, here’s my business card. Pay no heed, that’s just for formalities. Just dispose of it however you want.” Before knowing it, the other two were already giving him their cards.
What's the point? They’re just a couple of old guys on the verge of getting laid off.
He choked at his on his own words as he glanced at the cards on his hand.
Kim Seokjin! What manner of a man are you?!The three old men were actually big shots, each having their own private company.
“Kookie’s childhood was a little complicated.”Jin was brought out of his stupid thoughts and was again forced to listen to another tell-tale about the forceful guy who literally kidnapped him out of nowhere.
“He was abandoned as a new born on the steps of an orphanage and he started working straight out of middle school. Honestly, I can’t imagine how a 19 year old makes enough money for himself without failing to donate to the orphanage every month. He even said he’d like to take over the place someday. He’s a good kid. A boy like that deserves to find happiness.” The one infront of him smiled in admiration.Seokjin gazed at Jungkook’s direction.
Happiness, huh…
The younger caught the blonde looking at him but he didn't averted his gaze.
I wouldn’t mind a little of that myself…
*“Do you need something?” He turned around addressing the person following him.
“I’m just worried. You were crying so much earlier.” Jungkook pointed out of concern.
“It’s none of your business!” Jin retorted. He then turned his back against the younger male and started walking again.
“I heard you’re a Seoul University student. Would you be my tutor?” He continued trailing after him.
“Why me?” The older shot back annoyingly.
“I want to go to university for social work, but I dropped out of middle school, so I need to take a high school proficiency exam.”
“I’ve got a senior thesis to write, I’m too busy for that.” Jin reasoned out.
“Whenever you have spare time then.” The younger still insisted.“Look, I’m not going to do it! Go ask someone else!”
Jungkook suddenly pulled his arm making Jin face him, their bodies a few inches away from each other. “You’re the one I want, Seokjin-hyung.” He drawled out.
Jin’s face turned red. He started blushing.
“What the hell?!”
*
Infront of Jin’s apartment…
“Let go already!”
“Please!”
“Quit pestering me!” Jin tried to break free from Jungkook’s tight grip.
“I want to learn!”
