The clock had strike to 00:00. Hence, Jungna decided to stop from continued doing her works. Jungkook would scold her again if she slept later than her usual sleeping time.
She tidied up her work room, arranged her paper works and books, collected her scattered pens, picked up her crumple papers on the floor and threw them into a dusbin that she provided inside the room, and last picked up her used mug to the kitchen. As she went out for the room, her living room in her view.
It was dark obviously. There was no light came the her sight. From her peripheral view, she could only see the stair's light and the kitchen's. She glanced towards a room next to hers, there was light coming from under the door. So, Jungkook probably still in his work room.
Jungna scoffed by the thoughts of Jungkook scolding her to sleep early but himself a night owl. Yet he got his point, he worked at home so he still had time to rest and sleep as long as he wanted unlike Jungna's occupation options. She needed to go to office, meeting clients and had meeting to attend. Hence, she had no time to rest or paid her sleep like Jungkook could.
She gave her last glance towards Jungkook's work room as she left for the kitchen afterwards. After she done washed the used mug, she cold her throat with plain water before she went to her bed. At the moment, she suddenly remembered that her phone was still in her work room. She didn't bring the device with her. Plus, she needed to inform Jungkook that she would leaving to her bedroom first. So, he no need to worry about her getting sleep late.
Then, she went back towards her work room. After taking her device with her amd put it inside her sweatpants pocket, she left. Continuing with stooped by at Jungkook's work room. As she about to knock, where her fist already in the air, she heard a faint sound of someone crying. That was not a hard sobbing yet, it was just a soft sound of muffling as if he tried to hold his tears inside.
Curiosity and concern, took a very good over her. Jungkook probably wanted to stay alone if he really cried inside but she didn't think it was a good thing to do, leaving Jungkook alone in this situation. Therefore, she carefully knocked his room door and opened it slowly. She peeped her head a little inside first before she made herself enter.
"Jungkook? Can I come in?"
He nodded but he didn't even had his head turned towards her direction. His head was lowered and his back was hunched. Once Jungna stepped inside to his room, it was a fucking mess. This was not how his work room look like as far as she could remember. This time, his music sheets were everywhere and crumpled, his paint canvas were on the floor, might be fallen. It was not a pleasent view for the eyes to see.
Jungkook might be a messy person sometime but he was a neater than Jungna. The way he tidy up his room, folded his clothes and whenever he done his laundry. He was a conscientious person not a sloppy one. Thus, seeing this mess was so unlike him.
When another soft whimper hit Jungna's ears, she finally brought back to the reality from awe struck with Jungkook's messy work room. As she heard that, she was sure there was something happened towards him. Jungna could not recall, when did Jungkook ever cry. Did he even know what crying means? Because he would be always smiling and the one who support Jungna endless. Hence, seeing him this way, listening to his soft whimper, it gave weird feeling to her stomach.
Her baby bambi was sad. Her baby bunny with big eyes was sad.
She took steps towards him. She hoped Jungkook didn't mind by her presence in his room. Jungna gave an encourage squeeze on his shoulder only got another cries escaped from his lips. For this time, it was not a whimper anymore. She could hear clear as crystal that he was crying. He hide his face on his palm. From his side profile, Jungna noticed the tears was wildly streamed down his face.
"I'm here to give you a hug if you want. I also can leave if you don't want me here." She softly spoken for not wanting to hurt Jungkook's heart which obviously already got hurt. Jungkook's shoulder shuddered as he slowly chinned up and turned towards Jungna's direction.
At the moment he faced her, her heart breaking to pieces. His eyes were red and puffy. His nose also already had tint of pink colour. How long he had been crying himself already. His big eyes that usualy clear and sparkling were blurry in Jungna's eyes now because of the tears overlaping his eyes.
"Why are you crying?" He asked her, looking like a little toddler. Her brain was slow functioning now that made whatever Jungkook asked her needed a little time to process. Until the word registered inside her mind, she shook her head.
"I'm the one who need to ask you that."
"B-but you are crying."
By that, she swiftly brushed her face which turned out Jungkook was true, she was crying without she noticed. She formed a small smile towards him. Perhaps, it really hurt her more than she could imagine.
"You okay?" She asked him.
Jungkook's lips started to quiver again.
"Can I have a hug?" He softly asked, trying hard to contain his cries. Soon she nodded, he in flash, hugged her and cries echo once again in his room. His head leaned againtst her chest, his arms wrapped around her torso tightly. This would be a historic day. The Jeon Jungkook she knew was turning to a vulnurable baby. She brushed his hair smoothly and soothed his back, up and down.
Jungna didn't say anything except convinced him that she always with her no matter what he faced.
His holds around her slowly loosened so did his cried became soft and slower. He retreeted from Jungna but his head still unable to look up at her. He wiped his face, cleared his skin from the salty tears. Jungna believed, he would tell her when he wanted to, so she no need to ask him for it. She had been in his shoes before, thus, she understood.
Jungna could see his face was flush in red colour. His tip of ears too. Jungna brought her hand to caress his touseled hair. Caressed it softly, feeling how smooth it was between her finger.
"T-thank you."
"No biggie. You always with me before, so I will do the same." She said as he slowly up chinned up to look at her. Jungna was still standing, towered up over him since he was sitting on his whirling chair.
Seeing him this way, managed to bring back the crack she felt just now. She would call any powerful gangs in the world to ruin whoever made Jungkook cried if that necessary. She felt the tears threatened to fall but she remained them to stay inside. Then, she softly smiled at him.
For a few moment, silence fall between them. Neither Jungkook nor Jungna knew how to break the glass. Since Jungna didn't want to bring up what made he cried like this, she thought to leave but she just could not. She had no idea how to say it either. Until, Jungkook held her hands that taking her attention. Vanishing her battle thought about how she needed to start the conversation.
"They rejected my song that I worked for weeks." His voice was slow and his head had no courage to look at the girl infront of him. He didn't want Jungna see him as a weak guy eventhough he already cried in her arms just now. Jungna warmthly smiled and crouched down so that she could had his big eyes that she adored so much bore into hers. She gave him gently squeeze on his hands.
Jungkook look up at her. "Seemed like the table turned, isn't it? Now, I felt how you felt when your project got rejected. Might be, you felt more heavier tho. Since, you need to go to your company, deal with co-wokers, attend meeting and meet clients. But me, just staying in this room, press my brain a little and write the song."
"It doesn't count, Jungkook." Jungna shook her head. "Got reject is hurt. And that it. Plus, we put our effort into it, to make it perfectly complete. Don't compare how I work with yours. Because we are not same. But the feel got song rejected, our work rejected is hurt as hell and nothing can change that." Jungna added.
"Someone told me “they just lost their golden chance” for rejecting your work." Jungna smiled. "You quote my words." Jungkook said which Jungna simply nodded.
"Is it fine if I say, ‘it's okay’ to you? I mean like, it's okay. Thing like this happen. And your songs deserve better, Jungkook. You know what, if Jimin know this, he will turn out like maniac." Jungna retorted. "Why?" He asked her. Their hands were perfectly tangled and there was no strange feeling between it.
"Yeah, Jimin oppa loves your songs. And he covered almost your songs. Like you know voices and he knows songs. Which song is great which is not. So, if he knows yours got reject, he will definately mad. Because he knows your songs are great mostly. So, trust me. Your masterpiece will get the awards they deserve in the future." She tightened their tangled hands.
Jungkook nodded with a smile and then pulled Jungna into a hug again which Jungna instantly hugged him back. She nailed her chin on his shoulder as he did the same on hers.
"I want you to know, I will always with you no matter what. You always have me on your back, Jungkook."
"Thank you so much Jungna."
Jungkook could not thank her enough. Jungna had no idea how meaningful her presence at the moment to Jungkook. He was so thankful, at this time he had Jungna with him. Comforted him, convinced him and gave him hug which he really needed the most.
"Thank you." He muttered, tightened the hug around Jungna.
