Even if You're With Him ✔

Chapter 18

"Why can't I marry Seokjin?" Jungkook looks at his friend, trying to decipher what is running through his head. In his whole life, he has never seen his friend this worried.

"Well... I mean... How would Jimin feel about this? Does he know that you are doing this?"

"Jimin left me today." Jungkook purses his lips as he is reminded at how his now ex-fiancee just walked out of his life. "I doubt this matter concerns him anymore. I refuse to stay on the sidelines and continue being controlled by two money-hungry assholes. You asked me to help you convince their company partners to pull their investments from our parents. I still don't know the full reason why, but I'm assuming it has something to do with bringing your dad down and I want in. Those two bastards just took my whole life. I have no child and no Park Jimin because of them, so you bet your ass I want my revenge too."

"You want to bring them down, by all means do it. But don't you bring my brother into your plans, they already fucked his life over enough." Jungkook tightens his fist as Namjoon continues scolding him. "And what happens when Jimin comes back? How the hell are you going to explain to him that you married his best friend?"

With a slam on the table Jungkook makes an attempt to walk out, but turns one last time. "Don't bring Jimin into this either. He lost the right to have a say in the decisions I make when he walked away from our relationship. You have your way of getting back at them and I have mine, but be assured that your dad is going down and I'm going to make sure my dad goes down with him." Without another word he walks out leaving a frustrated Namjoon behind.

Seokjin pouts as he is informed that his ride is currently picking up the company mail. "Walking is good for the baby," Yoongi tries assuring.

"Easy for you to say. You're not the one carrying a whole watermelon in your stomach," Seokjin complains as they start walking out of the building. "I mean you could once you and my brother pull yourselves together and finally make official what we all know."

A sudden silence takes over and Yoongi looks down as they continue walking down the street. "Yeah I don't think that's going to happen."

Seokjin rolls his eyes already thinking of the many words he will use on his older brother next time he sees him. "Namjoon can be an idiot sometimes, but he loves you. He loves you to the point that he messes up a lot."

"I'm the one who messed up this time," Yoongi admits. "Hoseok and I hooked up."

The other's eyes widen in surprise. "It's not like you and Namjoon are official. Is he holding this against you? I swear next time I talk to him-"

Yoongi automatically holds his hands up and shakes his head. "No, he was hurt, but not angry, or at least he didn't show it. I don't know where that leaves us, though. I want to be with him. I have been wanting to be with him since we were all we had when we left the country, and now I ruined it."

"You did not ruin anything." Seokjin stops and faces his friend. " You hurt him, but he is aware that he has been hurting you too. Namjoon would not have kept you around if he didn't care. What you have to do is be firm. Talk to Namjoon and tell him to put a ring on it or to stop giving you false hope, and if he refuses that's when I go and kick his ass. Mini watermelon will help with the extra weight to crush my brother's body," Seokjin replies while rubbing his belly causing Yoongi to chuckle.

"You don't have to be so aggressive about it," Yoongi jokes as he also places his hand on the other's tummy. The two friends laugh it off as they reach the bakery. Seokjin lets the cashier know of his online order and orders for Yoongi so they can sit down and continue chatting.
