Chapter Thirteen

Seokjin let out a deep sigh as the lights of the church started to turned off one by one. He scanned the place once again admiring the chandeliers and the chairs that is designated for the choir members.

He always comes in the church to sit on the balcony to get a good look of the whole sacred place, it makes him calm. It makes him feel clean and it almost made him cry everytime especially when he's already thanking Him for the blessings he's receiving and most especially asking for forgiveness.

He always dreams of becoming one of those choir members dress in all white singing praises for God. Thanking him for his everyday life, thanking him because even if life is hard he always managed to survive.

He always dreams of becoming one of those people who's standing infront of the people who came for the worship service singing along but how can he do that? A lot of people here is convincing him to join but he always let out a shy no.

He doesnt want to disgrace the church. He doesnt want to disgrace the choir members. How can a stripper gets the courage to dress in white and stand firm singing a worship songs

"Seokjin?"

Seokjin looks at the man who called him and smiled as he realized who it is, "Hoseok?"

"Im sorry but are you done?" The smiling man named Hoseok asked.

He's always used to seeing Seokjin in this exact same place praying everynight the reason as to why they're kinda close to each other.

Seokjin smiled and let out a faint smile as he took a glimpse of the big white notebook looking that all of the choir members has. They just finished their rehearsals for the worship service.

"Yes, Hoseok." Seokjin said.

Hoseok smiled and sat next to Seokjin. He let out a deep sigh as he tilted his head to get a closer look of the older.

"I know that you're very interested to be one of the choir members. The minister is actually asking us to recruit more." Hoseok explained.

Seokjin's eyes lit up but his lips immediately tugged downwards. The offer is actually inviting since it's always his dream to be one of them but no- he shouldnt do it.

"I.. I still cant right now." Seokjin stuttered.

Hoseok let out a deep sigh. He sometimes sees Seokjin at the back while they were having their rehearsals singing along with them and that's when he knew that the older is very interested to be one of them and he doesnt really know as to why the older keeps on rejecting the offer.

Seokjin stood up already feeling awkward, "I actually have to go." He said.

Hoseok just slowly nods his head and let the older walked away from him even if he badly wants to ask him a lot of question.

Seokjin went home and was surprised when he heard that the television is on. He furrowed his brows and hissed at himself. He probably didnt turned it off again.

"Hello!"

He squinted his eyes when he's greeted by his always overly excited bestfriend, Taehyung.

"Dont you have work, Tae?" He asked with a concerned look on his face.

Taehyung's lips formed into a small pout patting his side motioning the older to sit next to him which Seokjin gladly did.

"Dont you want to see your bestfriend anymore, hmm?" Taehyung asked in his naturally deep yet sweet voice.

Seokjin chuckled because of how adorable the younger is. He ruffled the other's hair pinching the tip of his nose.

Taehyung's voice never fail to make wonders inside his system. It always confuses yet amazes him how Taehyung's voice could sound so deep yet sweet and delicate all at the same time, it's music to his ears if he's being too dramatic.

Seokjin picked up his phone when he felt it vibrated for a couple of times only to roll his eyes when he saw Gino's name.

Seokjin is like a robot when it comes to his job. He doesnt care when or where as long as he got to do his job and get pain but he will surely cry himself to sleep but now it's different, he doesnt want to strip and he feels bad doing this as a job. It makes him feel dirty especially when he's with Jungkook who's treating him with utmost care. He doesnt deserve any of that.

Gino:

Go to the cafe near ur apartment. A client is waiting for u.

Gino:

Wear casual clothes.

He walked inside his room and changed into a white pants and a black plain shirt pairing it with just a rubbershoes.

When he's done as he made his way in the living room, the television is already turned off and Taehyung is looking at him intently.

"I'll go somewhere, Tae." He said not even sparing his friend a glance.

Before Seokjin could even take a step forward Taehyung immediately pulled him closer, too close that their nose are already touching and Taehyung's breathe is already fanning the older's face.

"Live with me, Jin. Stop this." Taehyung said almost begging the older.

Seokjin is too precious for him. He's so sick of staying late at night thinking and worrying if Seokjin is alright or if he's getting some sleep. He's worried that something bad might happen to Seokjin while doing his job.

"It's just a few months after you graduate and I cant support the both of us." Taehyung said with assurance.

He can provide and even if he cant, he will do anything just to provide for Seokjin.

Seokjin let out a deep sigh while letting out a faint smile as he look straight into the younger's eyes appreciating how kind his friend is.

"No, Tae. Im fine. Dont worry, okay?" Seokjin said cupping the younger's cheeks.

Taehyung leaned in to his touch and held one of his hands kissing his fingertips shutting his eyes closed.

"I just want you to be safe." Taehyung whispered, "I want you to be happy." He mumbled.

Seokjin bit his lower lip feeling his heart wrenching because of how concerned the younger looks. He didnt know that too much sincerity could hurt too. It feels so good to have someone who cares about you this much that it actually hurts.

"Im safe, Tae." He caressed the younger's cheeks, "And im happy." He said.
