Young Forever

TEN

seokjin was happily humming as he walked down the stairs already dolled up.

"oh! you're all dressed up."

the younger stopped only to raise his brows when he saw taehyung with a cup of probably coffee in his hands.

"yes and?" seokjin asked in a duh tone.

taehyung just shrugged his shoulders putting the cup down on top of the marble table across of him.

"let's go out," he said, "i'll buy the limited edition shoes that you want."

the younger crinkled his nose as he waved his hands no at the older who is actually surprised.

seokjin never says no when it comes to having new things that would be a great addition to his collections.

"i have to meet someone." he said.

"and who is that?"

seokjin smirked, rolling his eyes at taehyung who rose up to his feet.

"and who are you to ask?"

taehyung was surprised with seokjin's remarks.

he's usually like that. he's never the one to say something that sounds normal and kind but he is never the one to reject him especially when it is beneficial to him.

seokjin didnt wait if taehyung still need something and he just walked out of the house, glad that the car is already infront kf their doorstep.

"good morning!" seokjin greeted mr. han with a smile.

the middle-aged man frozed in his spot before he closed the door and jogged towards the driver's seat.

what's wrong? he couldnt help but to look at his young master who is all giggly while staring at his phone.

seokjin found out that it was jungkook's day-off, that's why he convinced the older to meet up with him.

of course, jungkook being jungkook, he doesnt want to but he's seokjin for a reason. he told the older that it would just take an hour and they could go seperate ways already.

who is he kidding, though? there's no way he could let jungkook go just after an hour. he's not stupid to do that.

jungkook told him to just wait in the park that they went to before.

seokjin appreciates the park but he wants to meet jungkook somewhere fancy today but he couldnt bring himself to suggest that, the older might reject it.

"we're here..."

"okay. i'll just text you if i need you to pick me up already."

mr. han smiled at him slowly nodding his head.

seokjin then closed the door and walked towards the bench where they sat before. it's a good thing that there is only a few peoole here probably because there is not much of a food stall today.

the younger is really overdressed for someone who is just sitting on the bench under the shade of the tree.

he's wearing his grey fendi polo that is purposely loose to show some skin on his chest and highlight his collarbones and it is paired with his balenciaga shoes and his customized cartier bangles.

seokjin let out a sigh of relief when he saw jungkook already walking towards him wearing a black sweatpants and a black shirt.

he's wearing something so simple yet he looks very very handsome.

"hi, do you want to eat?" seokjin asked.

jungkook licked his lower lips running his fingers through his hair before he finally sat next to seokjin.

"no. but if you want to, i can go with you." jungkook said.

seokjin is hungry. he's too busy trying to pick clothes and all to even have his breakfast.

"no. im okay."

jungkook chuckled at how the younger suddenly looks very timid.

seokjin shut his eyes closed. he let out a deep breathe before he shifted his position to face jungkook who only raised his brows.

"can we date?" seokjin asked, "please? let's date." he said, his lips unconsciously forming into a small pout.

"and that includes?"

"of course we have to hold hands and do sweet things. you also have to be nice to me!" seokjin said, his voice slightly whiny.

jungkook let out a mocking laugh as he pointed at himself, "i cant believe you're telling me to be nice." he said, shaking his head.

seokjin slapped the older's arms which made jungkook winced in pain caressing his arms up and down.

"it's so hot in here," seokjin said fanning at his face, "i probably look terrible." he said.

he quickly picked up his phone opening the camera app to scan his face. he looked sideways to make sure that there is no dirt.

"you're so concerned with how you look," jungkook said while staring intensely at him, "dont you believe in yourself?" he asked, almost a whisper.

seokjin stopped, he locked his phone and put it inside his pocket.

"i do..."

jungkook smiled, satisfied to hear that.

"yes, that. you are beautiful. no need to doll up too much." the older casually said.

jungkook already looked away, his eyes set on the kids playing on the swing with a small smile on his lips.

seokjin couldnt help but to think that jungkook would never like him.

he's never the one to doubt at himself but jungkook is just so different. he's not swayed by him or anything.

"anyway," jungkook faced him, "why are you always out to see me? dont you really work?"

seokjin looked down. clearing his throat, he stared at the older shrugging his shoulders as if he's not bothered.

"no, i dont want to." he said.

jungkook let out a faint smile trying to meet seokjin's gaze but the younger keeps on looking away biting his lower lips unconsciously.

"no, you want to," jungkook reached out for the younger's hands, "i know you want to." he mumbled.

that's true.

he wants to work. it's just that he's too afraid of failing as both of his brothers are doing well with everything and he's afraid that he couldnt even contribute something to the company.

and he knows that he will hate myself for that. also, he doesnt want to hear other people talking about his failure. it would cause him pain to death and he's not even exaggerating.

"you act all tough as if you doesnt care about other people," the older bit his lower lips, "but the truth is, you're afraid with what they're about to say against you." he said, gently caressing the back of seokjin's hand.

"th.. that's not it." seokjin stammered.

jungkook backed away shrugging his shoulders.

he let out a small smile before he finally rose up to his feet, he ruffled the younger's hair which made seokjin glared at him.

he doesnt want to make seokjin feel that he's forcing him to share everything. if he needs someone, he'll be there.

"c'mon, seokjin."

"oh, yeah! we have a date."

jungkook was just about to say something to the younger but he stuck his tongue out and walked faster than jungkook.

"so childish." he grinned.
