Just Friends

End September

All that surrounded the surrounding was gloomy expressions of people dressed in black. No words exchanged, no smiles plastered. Nothing else enveloped the atmosphere except soft sobbing and weeping.

An admirable soul was lost. It meant a lot especially for Jungkook and his mum. Not only was he the soul breadwinner of the house but his father had a strong soul. Then again they say 'God loves them more' so all the little one hope is for his father to be at a much happier place now, smiling down on them.

Let's hear what the little one has to say.

Jungkook's POV

It's been two weeks ever since dad's death. I haven't been eating well nor talking much to anyone. Even Tae. I'm so glad he has been tolerating my behavior. I can't bear to lose him too no matter how distant I've been.

Every night without fail, if I don't hit him back any reply, he'll constantly remind me: Everything will be fine soon, love. With time, you'll heal and you know I'll always be right here by your side <3

He's right. Time do heal. I'm slowly regaining my old chirpy self back. Thank you not only to him but my other close buddy, Aria. They have been trying to cheer me up ever since that miserable day. I couldn't feel more blessed to have such wonderful souls like them in my life.

Reason why I'm so broody is because I don't really have a close relationship with my dad. I hated him ever since he cheated on mum. On the other hand, mum was my everything. I'd do anything for her sake since I went through thick and thin with her. She sacrificed so much for me. From feeding me ever since little, paying for my school expenses making sure everything is provided. She never fail to take good care of me even till today. Even though I'm a fully grown man now. She's so precious and I love her so much.

Back to the main point, I hated dad but ever since he was paralyzed last year due to the terrible slip, I've been the one taking care of him when mum couldn't. Gradually, our father-son time changed my mindset towards him. I'm sorry dad, I hope you're looking down at me and say to yourself 'I'm so proud of who you have become, son'

My weekdays are allocated for school while my weekends are for my family. Not that I mind since I'm someone who casts most of my attention to family. That's why deep down I feel weird that I have this same feeling towards Taehyung as well. That I'm actually able to love someone else besides family.

Taehyung is special to me. When I first knew him, I was attracted to his pink plush lips. So okay fine I've a weird fetish for pretty lips. Don't judge. I was the one who started the conversation online. As we get comfortable, I asked for his number and we started texting. I never get bored talking to him. Our conversations flow so well I don't wish to stop. What's odd was; I started to developed feelings for him even before we met in real life.

Eventually I confessed and a week later, he admitted his feelings too. I was the happiest boy ever. I can't remember the last time I felt this way. Taehyung managed to make me feel that way. For me to actually care for him showed how much of a ginormous step I'm taking. I can't open up to my friends but I can to him. I have no idea how an introvert like me was able to share so many stories to an extrovert like him.

Now that I've him back in my life, I don't wish to take him for granted no more. We have yet to become an official couple but I'll make sure that happens. In fact, I'll give him a call this instant. It's time. I was greeted by a worried loving alien.

OMG FINALLY YOU CALLED

ARE YOU OKAY?

BETTER NOW?

TELL MEEEEEE
