Chapter Twelve

Seokjin let out a soft groan as he felt the sun shine hitting his face. He opened his eyes- widening when he felt the space beside him empty. Where's Jungkook?

He immediately stood up not even bothering to wash his face. Did he go out? But where would he go? He havent eaten anything.

Seokjin scrunched up his nose when he smelled pancakes and the strong smell of coffee. He quickly went inside the kitchen and was frozen when he saw Jungkook putting two plates on the table.

"Good Morning..."

His eyes widened when Jungkook flashed his bunny smile.

Right at that moment, Seokjin teared up. He felt his heart beating faster against his chest. He can feel the little beating organ in his hurt flinching out of happiness.

The smile that Jungkook let out, he havent seen that for so long. He missed it.

Seokjin stared at his boyfriend in awe with his hands running cold, Jungkook's face looks bright and he even looks more handsome with a smile never leaving his face.

Jungkook took in a deep breathe walking towards his younger boyfriend leaning down a bit to give Seokjin a kiss on his left and right cheek.

"Good Morning, I love you." Jungkook whispered.

Seokjin gulped down shutting his eyes closed cupping both of his older boyfriend's cheeks tiptoeing to kiss the tip of Jungkook's now with a smile that shows contentment.

"Thank you, I love you so much." He mumbled.

Jungkook reached out for his hands pulling him down as they both sat next to each other.

Seokjin cant help but to just stare at his boyfriend who is busy putting a generous amount of food on his plate. He shook his head little bit feeling his heart wavered wishing for this to not be temporary.

The younger picked the spoon and fork and hummed happily as they took a bite of his pancake with a strawberry syrup before taking a sip of his coffee.

"Thank you for putting up with me." Jungkook blurted out.

Seokjin stopped eating before taking in a deep sigh. He looked at his boyfriend reaching out for both of Jungkook's hands before kissing the back of it.

"Im not just putting up with you. I am staying with you," Seokjin caressed his boyfriend's cheeks, "Let's be stronger now, okay?" He said before kissing Jungkook's forehead.

After they have their breakfast, Seokjin took a bath changing into his uniform because he still has work to do.

Jungkook is out of his sight already so he knocked on his studio before actually opening it with a smile as he saw the colorful canvas that his boyfriend is working on.

Seokjin walked towards his boyfriend sitting on his lap before wrapping his arms around Jungkook's neck burying his face on the older's shoulder before kissing his temples for a lot of times that made Jungkook chuckled.

"Im going now. I'll try to come home early and cook for you." Seokjin said.

He doesnt want to go. This is the first time that he doesnt want to come to work because he wants to stay at home with Jungkook.

"I'll anticipate that, I love you." Jungkook whispered kissing the younger's neck.

Seokjin stood up already waving his hands on his boyfriend before making his way out with the biggest smile that he ever had in months that they stayed together.

When he arrived at his workplace, he immediately went inside the kitchen to grab the notepad and ballpen so he could take orders as soon as possible.

He looked around and walked towards the girl in the far corner of the cafe, he let out his brightest smile, "Hi, may I take your order?" He politely asked.

The girl looked up and immediately went back to the menu only to stare at Seokjin once again.

"Excuse me, Ma'am? Are you ready to order, Ma'am?" He asked once again as the girl just remains looking at him.

The girl blinked for a couple of times slightly shaking her head before letting out a smile towards Seokjin.

"Iced Coffee and chicken fingers, that's all." She said with a smile.

He bowed at the girl before placing her order. He waited for it to be ready before picking up the tray and walking towards the girl again placing all of her orders on top of her table.

"Hi! I am a talent manager. You can call me if you're interested to become an idol or atleast a model for some brand." She said handing Seokjin her number card.

Seokjin smiled accepting the number card bowing at the girl before turning his back against her putting the small card on his back pocket.

This is not the first time that Seokjin got an offer like that, he actually lost count. All of that number cards are placed in his drawer, untouched. He doesnt have anytime for that, he needs to work.

"Another offer, I see." Soojin playfully said at her friend.

Seokjin just rolled his eyes at the girl before walking towards another customer to get their order.

After his shift at the cafe, he walked towards the bookstore nearby since he is already working there too. Luckily, his shift today is just for five hours.

He changed his red polo into a white shirt that has the bookstore's name in it before going out to place the best selling books infront.

"Seokjin, there's someone looking for you." The owner said.

He slightly bowed at the owner and was about to walk towards where that someone is before he stopped as he already saw her walking towards him.

"Good Afternoon, Mrs. Jeon." He greeted.

They are in the first aisle of the bookstore and Seokjin saw how the lady looked around with disgust on her face.

As always, she looks beautiful with her designer clothes and bags. The porcelain white skin that she has and her over-all features are just so glamorous that she looks out of place in this kind of place.

"Give me back my son." She said in a stern voice.

Seokjin shut his eyes closed gathering all of his courage before staring direcly at Taeyeon's intimidating eyes.

"I never took him away from you, Mrs. Jeon. You are the one who chose to turn her back against her for choosing what he wants." He said still trying to sound polite.

Taeyeon clenched her fist taking in a deep breathe trying to calm herself not wanting to just let it out and shout at the boy infront of her.

Truth is, she missed her son very much. She missed hugging the love of her life. She knows that she has done something bad for not supporting Jungkook in his dreams but what can she do? He has a responsibility, he is the only one who can take over the business.

"How much money do you want, young man? Tell me." She said through gritted teeth.

Seokjin cleared his throat swallowing the lump forming in his throat as he clenched his fist trying to stop the tears from slipping out of his eyes. No, he wont ever shed a tear infront of Jungkook's mother.

"I dont need your money, Mrs. Jeon. No one is stopping you from visiting Jungkook. I truly love him." He said with his voice shaking because of the unshed tears.

Why cant he be happy for just a day?
