Chapter Four
Seokjin massaged his temples taking in a deep sigh as he already sent all the schoolworks that needs to be done to his Professor.
It's his last year in college that's why there is a lot of things to do and Seokjin is studying so hard to get a latin honor.
"Just wait, Mom. We just have to wait a little bit."
Seokjin stared at the picture of his mother letting out a nostalgic smile as he remember how his precious mother always reminds him to study well so that he can achive his dream of becoming an educator- which is also his mother's dream.
It's been what? Two years since his mother passed away.
It's hard. He missed her up until now and he cant help but to tear up knowing that his mother still wants to live his life and see him achieving his dreams.
Life became hard for both Jungkook and Seokjin.
Jungkook barely sell an artwork since a lot of people is not into it and if someone wants to buy a painting- they want something that is made from a well-known artist which Jungkook clearly isnt this time
That's why Seokjin decided to get as much job as he can. He works at a coffee shop in the afternoon and at a convenience store at night. Though, he only works there every Monday, Tuesday and Friday.
It's actually hard to study and have a two job at the same time. He doesnt even have anytime to get a proper rest since every break instead of sleeping or eating he will tey to finsih something from school.
Though, it's all fine with him. They have a lot of bills to pay and it's hard for Seokjin considering that he's the only one working with a sure monthly income. Not only he needs to pay for the bills- he also have to provide the materials for Jungkook such as brushes, palettes, canvas and so much more.
Seokjin looked at the time and stood up when he saw that it's already ten in the evening.
He went outside of the room and stood infront of the other room where Jungkook is currently in- working on some new paintings.
Seokjin knocked for a couple of times before opening the door. He smiled when he saw Jungkook totally absorbed with what he's doing, his hands moving so gentle and his eyebrows knitted together trying not to messed up everything- he's making another masterpiece.
"Babe, sorry to disturb you." Seokjin said when his boyfriend put down the palette.
Jungkook shook his head and motioned the younger to come to him which Seokjin gladly obliged.
The artist let out a faint smile as he noticed the dark circles under the eyes of his lover that never seems to go away for the past years. Also, the way his eyes always looks so exhausted whenever he's home but never really shows a hint of tiredness.
Jungkook pulled Seokjin to sit on his lap wrapping his arms around the younger's waist as he kissed Seokjin's earlobe for a couple of times.
"I should really get a job, babe." Jungkook said nudging his younger boyfriend.
Seokjin slightly stomped his feet shaking his head at the oldwr who just chuckled at his behavior.
"No, you have to focus on your upcoming exhibit." Seokjin said, determined.
He has a decent amount of money in his bank account and he is willing to risk all of that for the upcoming exhibit of his boyfriend since Jungkook doesnt have any money to held an exhibit for himself Seokjin told him that he will be the one to pay for the rent of the place and everything.
This isnt the first time that Seokjin used all of his savings for Jungkook's exhibit. Last year, Seokjin worked so hard to the extent of passing out just to pay for the rent of the place where Jungkook will held his exhibit. Unfortunately, no one came but their friends.
"Stop wasting your money, babe. I wont held an exhibit." Jungkook said shaking his head firmly.
He doesnt want to dissapoint himself especially Seokjin. He knows how hard he is working for the both of them right now and he doesnt have the heart to spend all of the younger's money for his damn useless exhibit again knowing that no one will ever appreciate his works.
"No, babe," Seokjin gave the older a quick peck on the lips, "It will be different this time. You just have to think positive." He said with a small smile gracing his lips.
"Atleast let me work..."
Seokjin whined while vigorously shaking his head at the older as he crossed his arms that only made Jungkook kissed the tip of his nose.
"Just focus on your artworks." Seokjin said with his lips tugging downwards.
He knows that it will be hard for Jungkook to concentrate in his on-going artworks if he will get a job. If he's that tired when he gets home, how can he even go inside this room and paint? Seokjin doesnt want to take Jungkook's passion away from him.
Jungkook hissed as he leaned down to kiss the younger's temple for a couple of times. Seokjin just rest his head on top of the older's head shutting his eyes closed feeling the exhaustion taking over him.
"I am so damn lucky to have you, babe." Jungkook said in a barely audible voice.
Seokjin didnt say anything and just smiled at his boyfriend nodding his head slowly as he reached for the older's hand giving it a slight squeeze.
He knows that Jungkook has a place in the field he wants to be in, he just need to wait for the right rime and he will soon be in the spotlight.
Seokjin promised that he will be there for him every step of the way. The both of them might tripped all over again but they will surely stand up and fight for Jungkook's dream.
Seokjin wants nothing but for Jungkook to achieve all of his dreams. Until then, he would be very happy.
