➷ Chapter Three ➹

I sighed, deeply, poking my chin against the page of the book, repeatedly as finding it more demanding to go through it, any more urging to burst out with the demotivation, catching up all my insides.

"Bunny is clearly upset, considering his test, tomorrow," Namjoon Hyung told him, shaking his head, negligibly.

As a positive comeback, Jimin Hyung brought a sly smirk to his face as if tryna pull a hoax on me, "Has my bunny someday found interest in studying!?"

I sharply turned my head retaining my scrunched eyebrows, expressing a dissatisfied countenance while a pout lingered visibly, to which he barely chuckled in return.

"It's about Korean, dummy," Namjoon Hyung clarified, once again, "He doesn't seem to be in the spirit to bear jokes, anyway,"

As Jin Hyung stepped into my room as he might have left without my further notice, he directly made his way to me, shoving Jiminie outta the way and rejecting him surprised.

Soon, a large pair of arms encircled me marking the familiar warmth and broad shoulders awakened my senses, gradually making efforts for me to get closer, solely.

"What's wrong, bub? Weren't you the one who was up to the moon in learning, Korean?" Jin Hyung candidly and quietly asked, running his hands through my hair.

"I feel all dispirited like I can't do it, Hyung..." I let out in hardly a whisper, feeling all blues, unawares, overwhelming me with his question.

"It's completely fine to acquire a slip in your motivation, Kook but what's more important is to overcome it by respecting your goal," Jiminie reasonably spoke in between.

Unawares, I noticed Jin Hyung kneeling before me, extending his hand to grasp mine as he gently lifted my chin, urging me to shift my sorrowful watches to meet his.

"What was the reason, you decided to pursue learning the other language?" He enunciated the words, holding my chin, gingerly.

Cause I want to explore South Korea in the future; my parents' homeland.

"Well..." Jin Hyung continued, "Perhaps somebody told me, they desire to bring an advancement in their work, bringing the major reflection to travel and explore the world, a little more, South Korea, as quite an exemplary,"

"Yet, Kook, you know, you're eligible to be the one here to create a better choice, there's not an ounce of pressure from our side, you know that very well," Namjoon Hyung added, joining in.

A family pressure? Never heard of it!

"Rather than dwelling on the hump in the path realizing how much, you're lacking behind, focusing on how much knowledge and familiarity, you've gained, by now could help you get back on track, readily and hopefully,"

Jin Hyung persisted in stroking my palms, declaring those desperately consoling words, furthermore gently accepting a while for me to make eye contact.

A spark of incentive stimulated my insides, promptly as if I might have been in frantic need of a person to convey that to me.

"I want you to realize something. You can't expect things to always go effortless or your way, it could make you end up losing interest, surprisingly when you come across the intricacies,"

With that, I felt like a small kid again.

Jimin Hyung bent a little, gradually caressing my forehead, "I agree with Jin Hyung. But you know, the absolute difficulty, you must be encountering a lot due to the poor grasp of grammar in your mother tongue, English, isn't it, Kook?"
