[Jungkook]
.
.
If it were a few years back, I would've definitely been right next to Jimin when he spoke to Tae but now that things were progressing in a good way, I was able to feel good leaving them to chat privately. But why were they taking so long? I was pacing back and forth and I knew eyes were on me. Hannah was taking a call while Aunt Roo was talking with Mrs. Kim. Dae was looking at pictures of Tae when he was younger. Mrs. Kim had brought a photo album to show his aunt. So the only eyes on me were Al's. And he was looking too happy while watching me go through my torture.
.
"What?" I asked him when I couldn't take his stares any more.
.
"What? I don't know. You tell me. Are you still concerned about Tae being around Jimin?"
.
I grunted, "If I were, I wouldn't be standing here right now. I'd be right next to them."
.
"Hmmm... Understood... So then, what's the matter? Why are you making a hole in the ground with your pacing?"
.
"I... Ahhhh... I don't know..." I blurted out but Al just laughed even more.
.
"Jungkook, I've known Jimin for a very long time and he's a free-spirited kinda guy. He loves interacting with people and he loves helping them. I know you're missing him but think of all the times you guys were apart. Days, weeks, months... This is just a few minutes..."
.
I knew what Al was trying to say but the separation times were different, "I know but it's because of our past separations that I don't want to be apart from him anymore. I'm not saying I'm going to stifle him but right now... I'm feeling his pain and all I want to do is comfort him and let him know that I'll always be there for him."
.
"Hmm... I think he knows that, Jungkookie. Jimin knows how much you love and care for him."
.
Al was trying to soften me up but I couldn't help myself. I mean, it's my Jiminshi we're talking about. He's mine and I wanted the whole world to know that. I remembered our live video when we came out at Tae's party and I grinned. What if I were to do a live again and show everyone how much we love each other? Somehow my legs found their way towards the garden where Jimin and Tae were sitting. I stood at the corner of the building and watched my Jiminshi. He was so beautiful and I couldn't take my eyes off of him.
.
I closed my eyes and made a mental sketch of him with the flowers from the garden all around him and promised myself to do the art work when I reached back home. It was then I heard him calling out my name. Finally!
.
"Jungkookie..."
.
Yup... I was a goner.
.
Being next to Jimin was where I belonged and it didn't matter if we were upset with each other or rolling in the sheets together. We love each other and that's all that mattered, until Al came pouncing on us! Again! Grrrrrr! But he had some great news. We all gathered back into the conference room as Al told everyone what he found out from his police friends.
.
"Apparently the girl who Jane was with, confessed to being with Jane on the night she died. They have her now in the station."
.
"Which girl?" Someone asked.
.
"Jane's first girlfriend. The one she left home to meet in the US." Hannah answered.
.
"Delia." Jimin said and everyone nodded.
.
"Wow, Jimin. You remembered her name," Aunt Roo said.
.
Jimin replied, "Hmm. It's my job as a director to remember every person's name on a script. Jane's diary was like a script to me."
.
Everyone nodded and Al continued, "Apparently they took the lead that we suggested about Delia being the suspect in Jane's case. They wouldn't have known about her because Jane didn't stay with her for long."
.
Then Jimin added, "And remember, her brother was a police officer. I'm sure if Delia was involved in Jane's murder, he would've diverted them from looking into her."
.
"Wow! You really are a great director," Mrs. Kim responded and we all nodded again.
.
"Ahem..." Al butted in, "As I was saying, Delia is in custody but her brother passed away a few years ago. He was gun-downed by some gang members. He was taxing them for protection but when one of their young members died on his watch, they decided to take their revenge on him."
.
Jimin interrupted again, "Oh no. That's so sad."
.
"Jimin... Can you let me finish? Please?" Al butted in. Jimin smiled and nodded. "So with him not being there to protect her, my friends were able to recover all the evidence that was taken from Jane's apartment on the day she died. There was no physical evidence of Delia being there at all."
.
We all watched him in quiet confusion as he smiled so he had to explain, "Absolutely no evidence means it was erased on purpose because they have camera footage from a CCTV camera of Delia going into Jane's apartment."
.
"Wow. So were they still together or something?" I asked but Al reminded us.
.
"Remember Jane said she felt like someone was watching and tailing her. It really was her ex-lover. Delia would go into Jane's apartment when she wasn't there. What she did inside, God alone knows, but the footage has a few images of Delia entering the building, staying for a few minutes and then leaving. I think she was familiarising herself with the apartment or taking personal items from Jane."
.
"Wow. So she admitted to being there but did she say anything about them getting into an altercation or something?" Aunt Roo asked and I knew it's because she wanted to put this situation at rest as soon as possible so they could go on living their lives and that Jane could finally rest in peace.
.
I wanted that as well. For Jimin's mother Lily, for Jane (1) and for Jimin's sister Jane (2). They all needed to be resting in peace right now. I couldn't help but make a silent prayer for things to work out and for Delia to finally say exactly what happened that night.
.
Al then took out his laptop and began to show us what was happening in the interrogating room down at the police station.
.
"Is that her?" Hannah asked and Al nodded. "Wow. Strange I was kinda expecting someone younger and prettier."
.
Aunt Roo looked at the person who was on the screen and said, "That doesn't look like the girl Jane used to talk to. This person is much older and fatter."
.
Then I had to remind her, "Ahem, Aunt Roo. Remember that would've been over twenty years ago. Delia looks like she's seen some hard times over the years."
.
She was really looking haggard and way above her age. Then we listened in on the conversation as Al put on the audio for us.
.
One thing that didn't change was that Delia was certainly an actress. She went from being angry as to why she was brought in, then to all innocent and scared when the questions started getting heated for her.
.
Officer: Tell us why you went to see her.
.
Delia: I don't know. I can't remember so far back. Why am I here? Didn't she off herself or something? I had nothing to do with that.
.
Officer: If she offed herself as you claimed, why would you say you had nothing to do with it?
.
Delia: I don't know! You're confusing me...
.
Officer: So is it that Jane killed herself or you had something to do with it?
.
Delia: NO! I told you. I didn't do anything. I didn't touch her.
.
Officer: But you were there when she was there. How did you not touch her? Didn't you love her?
.
Delia: Yes. No. I didn't touch her but I still loved her...
.
Officer: So what happened when you entered her room that night?
.
Delia: She was leaving and I couldn't allow her to...
.
Then Delia got up and shouted at the officer:
.
Delia: SHE OWED ME!!! THAT PART SHE GOT IN THE MOVIE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MINE!!! SHE TOOK THAT FROM ME... so I took something from her.
.
Al's thoughts of Delia going into Jane's apartment to take her personal belongings came flooding back into my mind. He was right. She was taking things from Jane but that night when she saw that Jane was leaving, she panicked.
.
Officer: What did you take from her?
.
Delia: Oh just some trinkets.
.
Officer: So whenever you 'visited' her, you would take things from her. And just so you know, we have many videos of you going into her apartment when she wasn't there.
.
Delia: Hmm... Those things were supposed to be mine. She used the money she made from the movie to buy those things so technically they were mine... Hahahahahaha!!!
.
Officer: What about that night? What happened when you realised she was leaving for good.
.
Delia: Hmm. That bitch. She tried to bribe me with money to leave her alone. But I knew she was broke so how could she give me money. The secret woman she was seeing left her too. I heard them arguing that night. Jane was a liability. We used her for what we needed and discarded her when we were done.
.
I heard Aunt Roo gasp and her soft sobs. This must be hard on her.
.
Officer: And did you use her that night too?
.
Delia: Hmm... I tried to have a little fun with her but she was pushing me off. Ha! The little bitch. I was the one who brought her into this world and what did she do: she got knocked up by some guy and tried to tell me that she didn't know she was pregnant.
.
Officer: Actually, that was true.
.
Delia: (paused) What?
.
Officer: From what our sources told us, she came to the US already pregnant but she didn't know.
.
Delia looked confused.
.
Delia: But... I thought she went with someone else... No... No... That couldn't be true.
.
Officer: Yes, it was. I'm also guessing that you didn't know that she had almost a million dollars in her bank account.
.
We were all in shock and so was Delia.
.
Delia: A million dollars you say? A sugar daddy maybe.
.
Officer: No. Not a sugar daddy but her real daddy. He left just over a million dollars for her in his will. She got it all a few months before you killed her.
.
Delia: A million dollars... A million dollars... FUCK!!! She offered me $200K to leave her alone. I thought she was wiling me up. I got so mad at her. I thought she was just making things up... You're telling me that she really had the money... FUCK!!! I should've taken her to the ATM before I smashed her head on the wall...
.
We all got quiet at Delia's confession. Jimin and Aunt Roo both gasped aloud. Al shook his head as the officers also just recorded Delia admitting to killing Jane.
.
Officer: ...
.
Delia: What?
.
Officer: Delia Newcastle, you are under arrest for the murder of...
.
Finally, she confessed to killing Jane. Blunt forced trauma to the head was the official cause of death. The smashing of her head not just on the wall but the constant beating of her when she fell, was the point of death. Delia was taken into custody while still screaming that she was deprived of getting her money...
.
Al then spoke to the officer in charge while we all huddled and cried together. They were definitely tears of sorrow and joy all mixed into one. Aunt Roo was the first to say something.
.
"It broke my heart not just hearing her say so casually that she smashed her head into the wall but she was only concerned with the money she could've had. She didn't love my Janie at all. She only wanted her money."
.
I couldn't agree more. Delia was a psychopath who was suffering financially and continued to suffer the years after. I looked at Jimin and I saw him in deep thought. I'd give a million dollars to know what he was thinking and when he looked up at me I saw him looking a bit embarrassed so I went up to him.
.
"I know its a lot to take in right now. How are you feeling now that everything's solved?"
.
Then my Jimin surprised me when he said, "I'm relieved and somewhat embarrassed." Then he whispered to me, "I kept thinking that this situation we're in with Jane and all the things that happened to her, that I should make a documentary depicting what happened in her life and death."
.
"I think it's a great idea but why would you be embarrassed?"
.
"Because while everyone is sad and thankful, I'm thinking about making a movie..."
.
I smiled, "It's okay to feel that way. That's just your natural director instincts acting up... Plus I think her family members would be proud when you show the whole world just how beautiful this Korean actress was. The question is, would you include it in your own documentary or make one totally on Jane? Would you include your mother's infidelity with her? How would your dad, brother and other family members feel about that part of her life being exposed? And also Lily's fans too? How would they take it? There's a lot to think and plan about before you even venture there."
.
"Yeah, I know. Sigh... Oh Jungkookie," Jimin came into my arms as he sighed and I felt the weight that was on his shoulders lifted off. This was a big hurdle and we all were feeling good about everything.
.
Aunt Roo came up to Al, "Do you know where my Janie was buried? I want to go see her and tell her that everything would be okay now."
.
Al said he didn't know but he would find out, "I'll ask the officials at the morgue if they knew anything."
.
While Al went off to call the officials, Jimin got on his phone and called his dad. I stood next to him, rubbing his back as I heard him asking, "Dad. We just found out what really happened with Jane's murder and the perpetrator was taken into custody." He paused for a bit as his dad spoke but then Jimin asked, "By any chance would the company know anything about Jane's resting place? Her Aunt Roo wants to visit her."
.
Then I heard him saying, "Uh-huh... Hmm...Yeah..." Gosh! Jimin was the cutest thing ever. Especially as he put his finger into his mouth and nibbled a bit on it. Good Lord. I wanted that finger. It was now drenched in his saliva. While Jimin was still talking, I quickly took his hand and taking his cute wet finger, I put it in my mouth and began to gently suck it.
.
Jimin's eyes widened like great saucers as he whispered in shock, "Omg... Jungkookie... Stop that..." He mouthed the last part and I couldn't help but to now put my lips on the curve of his lips and kiss/suck on the saliva that was dripping there too.
.
"You're wet and I'm thirsty," I whispered back as my tongue lapped below his bottom lip.
.
"Ohhhh..." Jimin gasped out a little louder than expected and I felt the bulge forming below his pants. Then he said, "No dad, I'm still here. It's just Jungkook's standing right next to me and he's... Jungkook-ah!" Jimin shouted out my name as I did a double squeeze on him: his ass and the outline of his now hard member.
.
I heard his dad giggling on the line, "Lemme talk with him," I said the words but took the phone from Jimin as I spoke. Jimin just lovingly began tapping my chest in defeat and I couldn't help but grin.
.
His dad on the other end couldn't stop laughing, "Hi Jungkook. I can see things are still good with you two."
.
I grinned again as I still had Jimin's ass in my hand. Jimin tapped my arm as I squeezed his beautiful round mound, pulling him in closer to me.
.
Then I got a little serious, "So can you help us with finding Jane's grave? Aunt Roo really needs closure." I said the word 'closure' but I felt as Jimin got 'closer' to me. He was coming up to the phone to listen to hear what his dad was saying. But with him doing that, I got a strong whiff of Jimin's scent and his face was mere inches from me. The only time he would be this close was when we were... kissing. And even though I kept the higher part of the phone to my ear, I moved the lower part away from my mouth so I could take the lips of my lover.
.
Then I heard his dad saying, "Sounds like you both need a room."
.
I released Jimin's luscious lips and whispered, "We always do..." Jimin's face was so flushed and amorous. I knew from that look that we would definitely need to get back to the hotel and fast. But before I got that rolling, Jimin's dad found some info.
.
"While you guys were lovey-doveying, I found out where she is. I'll send the co-ordinates to Jimin's phone. Hey... You guys should come over and bring Aunt Roo and everyone across."
.
"That would be great but it will be too far to drive." We literally were all the way on the other side from where he was.
.
"That's not a problem. I'll send the plane over. I'll organise and keep in touch," and with that he hung up.
.
"Wow! Your dad really knows how to take charge," I said as I ended the call. But when I tried to give Jimin back his phone, I paused as I saw Jimin's face.
.
"Hmmm..." Jimin was swooning and looking at me all dreamy-like. He was fixated on my lips and I was staring at his eyes. They were droopy and his lashes were fluttering. His body was swaying and when he licked his lips and swallowed, I pulled him into me and kissed him again. This time it was deep. Jimin wrapped his arms around my neck and grabbed my hair to make our kiss deeper than the ocean. When his dad sent his promised messages, not even the beeps from Jimin's phone could separate us but the childish giggles we were hearing did.
.
As Jimin released my lips, I could see the web of our spit hanging down from us, still connecting us but the little children standing right in front of us made us fix ourselves in a flash.
.
"Hi... Are you two gay?" One cutie little girl asked.
.
"Of course they are. Can't you see they're two guys kissing? Sheesh..." Another one blurted out.
.
"Ugh. So gross..." Said a bigger girl.
.
"Hey. I have an uncle who's gay and he's the coolest." Said another.
.
Then the big girl said, "Not being gay but the kiss. Gosh, it's like they were eating their favourite..." but she couldn't finish as a nurse came running from behind shouting at them,
.
"Hey! Stay right there!"
.
The little cutie pie with black straight hair came up to Jimin's leg and asked another question, "Are you an angel?" Jimin smiled and so did I but then the nurse reached up to us panting.
.
"Oh my goodness. Thereyou guys are. I've been looking all over for you all. What are you all doinghere? I hope you're not disturbing anyone." And she looked up and saw us. "Oh.I'm sorry. Did the children scare you? They can be a bit... Hmm...".
.
Then each one bent their head and sadly blurted out a different adjective: "Intimidating? Annoying? Stubborn? Troublesome?"
.
Jimin grinned and then added, "Cute? Adorable? Awesome?" When he called them by the sweet names, all their heads raised and they were in shock as they smiled at him. He bent down and touched the top of the cutie pie's head. She was really adorable. "What's your name, sweetie?"
.
She looked up at him and touched his face, "Guinevere but my friends calls me Gwen."
.
"Can I call you Gwen too?" Jimin asked and she nodded. Jimin gave her the cutest smile and she smiled back and hugged him.
.
"What about me?" I asked but the little one looked up at me and held on to Jimin a little tighter.
.
I heard her whisper, "He's scary. Is he your boyfriend?" She asked Jimin and he nodded as he took her up into his arms.
.
I immediately felt a sense of pride. Jimin was looking like a proud father trying to console his frightened daughter from a... Wait a minute? Did she say I was scary?
.
Jimin immediately saw my reaction and said to her, "He's not scary at all, when he warms up to you, he's like a little bunny rabbit. Do you all like bunnies?" He asked all the children who gathered around us and they all jumped up and down like bunnies saying 'Yes!' I began to hop around with them and I gave a few of them some bouncy rides.
.
Jimin laughed and so did I. It was then that Guinevere looked at me and put out her hands towards me, "Can I go hug, Mr. Bunny too?"
.
Jimin looked at me and I went up towards them. Omg. I was so in love with this scene and without words, the little cutie came into my arms. Her hug was magical and I had to hold it in from crying. Jimin was watching us and I saw the tears of joy coming out from him. I cradled her and patted her back while thanking her for her embrace.
.
She looked up at me and held my face too. Then she said, "You can call me Gwen too."
.
I nodded and said, "Hello Gwen. My name is Jungkook and this is Jimin. We're partners."
.
"You mean you're lovers..." One of the other children said as they all giggled and laughed but the nurse wasn't too pleased about their crude behaviour.
.
"Now, now children. Don't be rude." Then she smiled at them and said, "Nurse Brown is waiting to give you your snacks," and with that our little audience went down the corridor cheering.
.
Gwen asked to go down but before she left she pulled at Jimin's leg. He immediately came down towards her. She whispered something in his ear and Jimin looked up at me and blushed. Then kissing his cheek she smiled and left to go meet the others.
.
The nurse looked at us and smiled, "Thank you for putting a smile on their faces. They obviously like you two. They're usually to themselves."
.
Then Jimin asked what I wanted to know, "Are they patients here?"
.
"They used to be. Fortunately, nothing's wrong with them, health-wise but unfortunately their parents have seemed to 'forgotten' them and some of them are here since birth. Gwen is one of those." Then she went on to tell us that when the parents abandoned the children, the hospital tried to transfer them to the children's home in the area but they were completely overcrowded. "The government officials came and with help from our sponsors theybuilt a children's wing here to treat children. Most of them, their familieswould take them home when they got better but these five, the ones you sawjust now, were the ones who were abandoned."
.
Jimin had already come up to me and hugged me tightly. I could feel him shuddering and I grabbed his shoulders and hugged him to comfort him. Then he sighed, "Omg. I can't imagine what they must feel knowing that their parents don't want them."
.
When Jimin made that statement, I realised just how much he had grown throughout this whole Lily process. Before he would've wrapped himself in a cocoon and not say anything but now he was open and accepted the facts about his mother's illness and that it wasn't her fault for 'abandoning' him. I was so proud of him.
.
I looked at the nurse and asked, "So are they just going to live here for the rest of their lives?"
.
Sadly she shook her head, "Unfortunately, no. Just until they're 18. Then they'll be considered adults and they'll have to fend for themselves. But we have a great programme here..." She started to talk about what the hospital was doing for them education-wise, but in my mind I kept seeing the big beautiful eyes of Gwen and her smiles at Jimin.
.
I looked at Jimin and he looked up at me and I saw the same look Gwen gave him just a few minutes ago. Then it was almost as though we were using telepathy when I heard Jimin asking, "Can they be adopted?"
.
The nurse stopped her blabbering and smiled at us, "Yes. Yes, they can. Are you guys interested? Are you married? We do have an agreeance for same-sex married partners to adopt, if you guys are interested."
.
I looked at Jimin and I smiled as I touched his face, "We will be married soon..."
.
She smiled at us and then gave us a card with a contact if we needed to talk more about it. Then she left us and I couldn't help but hold my fiancé in my arms.
.
"Jungkookie... Gwen, she's..."
.
"Beautiful? Wonderful? Sweet?" I added my own sweet adjectives.
.
Then Jimin added his to the list, "She's such a joy. My heart leapt with joy for her even before I knew her situation. Can we talk more about it?"
.
I looked into his eyes and I saw his heart beating with the joy he just expressed. "I would love to," and I knew I made his thumping even stronger with my agreeance.
.
We kissed again but this time it was soft. It was almost as though our lips sealed the deal of us becoming parents. Then I heard someone clearing their throat. Gosh. This was the second time we got caught making out. When I turned I saw none other than Kim Taehyung standing not too far from us.
.
"Are you guys going to adopt the little girl?"
.
"Wow. Eavesdropping isn't nice, Tae," Jimin said but he still smiled at his friend. I wanted to say something a little spicier than that but Jimin silenced me before I could. Hmmm... Tae's one lucky fucking bastard to have a friend like Jimin.
.
But then his Chingu said something that surprised me, "That would be wonderful. I'm adopted too you know". He grinned when he said it but then he frowned when he admitted, "I think that Jane giving me up for adoption was the best thing that happened to me. I'm thankful for my parents and the life I have but it would've been nice to know her..."
.
Oh shit. I actually had forgotten about that and after all we heard about how Jane met her demise, I didn't think about how Tae was feeling about it. Aunt Roo knew Jane personally but even though Tae never met his biological mother, it would still affect him. And that it did because as soon as he mention about wanting to know her, he broke down in tears.
.
I released Jimin from my hold as he went up to Tae and hugged him. Somehow my legs started to move and in such a confused yet understanding state of mind, I hugged Tae. We all embraced each other and gave each other the comfort that everything was going to be alright.
.
Finally! Thank God!
