Chapter One
Seokjin smiled putting his ballpen inside his black pencil case as he already finish his essay.
He stood up and went outside of his room picking up his bag. He looked around and smiled- he missed staying inside his own room.
"Seokjin!"
He looked at his mother who's hastily walking towards him with a big smile on her face.
"Why? Are you going already?" She asked.
Seokjin let out a faint smile and slowly nods his head. He reached out for her hand bringing it up as he gave it feathery kisses.
"I'll come more often, Mom." He said smiling.
The mother's lips tugged downwards but she still manages to compose herself and gave her son a smile.
"Are you fine, Jin? Arent you having a hard time?" Her mother asked worriedly.
Seokjin bit his lower lips feeling how heavy it is for him.
No, he shouldnt think that way. That is so unfair.
"Yes, Mom. Im fine," He gave her hand a slight squeeze, "We're doing fine." He said
Seokjin's mother walked even more closer towards her son as she gave Seokjin a kiss on the cheeks.
Seokjin cant help but to tear up because of the sweet gesture of his mother. He really did miss her so much.
"Tell Jungkook I said hi, okay?" She said letting out the most beautiful smile.
Seokjin smiled even more leaning down to kiss his mother's forehead.
After another round of saying goodbye and making sure that the both of them were fine, Seokjin decided to go already.
Kim Seokjin. Nineteen years old. A first year college in Education department.
He's still so young- too young to be in the same house as his artist boyfriend.
Though, his mother allowed him after a lot of convincing how much it will be more convenient for him to leave near the school or be alone so that she wouldnt bother so much about him.
That is all a lie though.
It is never for his convenience. The school is two hours away from their apartment and it is never easy to leave alone with just his boyfriend.
He took in a deep breathe as he opened the door of their apartment.
The apartment is fortunately comfortable and big for the both of them. It has two rooms: one for the both of them and other one serves as Jungkook studio- that's where he always paint.
Jungkook insisted that they should take the second room for them to sleep in but Seokjin doesnt want to since Jungkook needs a big room for all of his painting.
Seokjin is surprised to see his boyfriend in the living room lazily watching a comedy show. He can tell that Jungkook is not really into the show since he's not even giving a reaction.
"Hi, babe."
Seokjin leaned down and gave Jungkook a kiss on the forehead. The older shut his eyes closed as he also placed a kiss on Seokjin's cheeks.
Usually, he wont see Jungkook in any parts of their apartment but his studio. He will always see his boyfriend there- too immerse in what he's doing.
He loves to see Jungkook trying to paint being so hardworking and passionated towards what he's been doing. That's what he likes about the other- he's already sure what he wants him to be, an artist.
Seokjin promised that he would support his boyfriend no matter what happens and considering the skills and passion of Jungkook, he would make it big.
"Arent you preparing for that competition, babe?" Seokjin asked still standing just three steps away from the other.
Jungkook looked at his younger boyfriend with a smile on his face.
It's definitely nice to see your muse after a long day of just facing a blank canvas and messed up rooms with different colors.
"Yes. I finished practicing, I'll clean my tools tomorrow." He said letting out his bunny smile.
It's Monday today. The competition is on Wednesday, that's why they're both excited and nervous all at the same time but Seokjin has the confidence because he knew the capabilities of his boyfriend.
"I'll clean it for you, hm." Seokjin said wiggling his eyebrows.
Jungkook held the younger's hand pulling him making him sit on his lap snaking his arms around the tiny waist of Seokjin.
"You're so busy with everything. I can do it." Jungkook said with a smile.
The competition is an important one as the winner will have the chance to held an exhibit and have a sure guest and some sponsor, that's the big break they're both waiting.
Jungkook is sure about this one. He knows that he can win if he did well. He has a feeling that this would be his chance to make Seokjin's life better and he cant wait for that to happen.
Seokjin also knew it. He cant help but to feel the sense of pride knowing that Jungkook will finally reach his much awaited dream- to be known by a lot of people, to touch their heart through his artwork.
He knew it because one of the organizer and judges is the one who told Jungkook to join the competition as he accidentally saw one of his paintings and he liked it so much to the extent of buying it right on the spot.
Seokjin shut his eyes closed letting his head rest on Jungkook's chest happily humming because of how comfortable it is to be with Jungkook's touch after the tiring day.
Being an artist does require skills and talent. Though, it also requires a lot more money for the things that the artist could possibly need and it's a lot more pricey than what Seokjin thinks.
That's why he ended up getting a part-time job in a fastfood chain near their apartment to atleast have a money just enough to buy what Jungkook's need.
Jungkook said that he should be the one working instead and he should focus on studying but he insisted, it would be hard for Jungkook to concentrate and his inspiration might fade if he's too tired from working.
"Thanks, babe." Jungkook said kissing the other's earlobe.
Seokjin kissed his boyfriends earlobe, "I love you." He smiled.
