Contract Relationship | Jeon Jungkook

▪ EIGHTEEN

The girl flinched at every exclaimed question. She wanted to cry at every scold he did, but her soul did not let her.

"Jungkook..." Gaeun called him once again. "Are you happy?"

He could not answer the question. He was doubting his happiness too.

"Are you happy, Jeon Jungkook?" She asked again.

He eventually stopped sobbing as he stared at the girl's smile deeply.

"Are you happy?" Her question echoed through his ears.

"Jungkook-ah..."

"Jungkook-ah!"

Jungkook gasped and jolted up awake. His eyes widened as though he just got a shock. He did not realize his eyes and cheeks were wet.

"Yah," a familiar voice called him. "What's wrong with you?"

Jungkook turned around to find himself sleeping on a couch and then found Seokjin standing behind it.

He sighed, burying his head into his palm. He then sniffed.

"Yah..." The older called again. "You cried," he softly told and almost sound worried.

'I cried?' He lifted his face and found his palm was dampened by the substance that stuck on his face. He immediately wiped them clean.

Seokjin observed his cousin's behavior for a moment. He then asked, "you dreamt of Gaeun again?"

Jungkook's hand slowly fell on his thighs. He nodded his head slowly to tell him honestly.

Seokjin softly sighed. "She misses you."

Jungkook made a glance at the older by the corner of his dampened eyes. He gave the older cousin a short smile.

"Go back to Busan and visit her," the older advised, bitterly smiling at him. "Also, visit your parents," he added.

The younger looked down on the couch's dark brown cloth, trying to remember his advice. Seokjin then patted his shoulder before he left Jungkook alone in the living room, going to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

As Seokjin's figure slowly disappeared into the kitchen, somehow, the question that Gaeun asked him was lingering in his mind.

"Are you happy, Jeon Jungkook?"

He even questioned himself about that.

He asked himself, muttered inaudibly, "am I happy?"

**********

The girl was looking away from her fiancé, crossing her arms, looking as though she was sulking.

"Jagiya, I'm sorry," the man begged but the woman did not show any response to him. Her eyebrows frowned, still sulking.

While on the other side, in the kitchen area, there was Nahee who was acting like nothing happened but she had heard everything.

She did not know what happened to her brother and his fiancée. She moved closer to her mother and acted like she was helping her.

She whispered, "what's happening to them?"

She stole a glance to observe one more time. The sight of Namjoon trying to feed his fiancée food disturbs her eyesight. She shook her head, thinking that her brother was being pushy.

"Your brother did something wrong and that happened," Mrs. Kim replied as she turned on the stove to start cooking.

"What did he do?" Asked Nahee again with eyebrows furrowed.
