HIS SMILE

Chapter 44

"Kookie hyung?"

Jin was aware that Jungkook's eyes were somewhat blurred like he couldn't find his focus. He heard that sometimes people living a life of high pressure couldn't distinguish dreams from reality. Was Jungkook in this state?

Thinking of this, he didn't dare shout at Jungkook. He carefully held the staircase, trying to prevent Jungkook from falling down before dragging him back.

"I'm fine." Jungkook's voice was hoarse and clearness gradually returned to his eyes.

Jin looked at the place where Jungkook had been looking. There was nothing but he felt that Jungkook's eyes... contained some sadness.

"You stand here and don't move." Jin turned back to get a pair of slippers. "Put on your shoes."

Jungkook put on his shoes and saw Jin running downstairs to grab a glass of water.

"The water temperature is just fine. Take a sip." Jin saw Jungkook take the cup and drink the water. Only then did he completely put down his worries. "Rest early. Tomorrow we will buy the new year's goods."

The warm water warmed his heart. Jungkook looked at Jin's messy hair and nodded slightly. He thought Jin would continue to ask but Jin didn't say anything. He swirled the cup in his hand and the water shook slightly. "Good night."

"Good night." Jin had a thought. "Your work pressure is good. Although it is normal for people to work hard when they're young, you have two buildings. Nothing is more important than your body."

After saying this, he found that Jungkook's eyes became deeper and Jin scratched his head in a somewhat uncomfortable manner.

"Thank you, I know." Jungkook took another sip of the water.

"Thank you." Jin hit Jungkook's chest with his elbow and yawned. "I'll go get a cup of water before going to sleep."

Last night he had eaten a bit too much. He woke up in the middle of the night and hadn't expected to find Jungkook standing in the middle of the corridor in a dazed manner. After drinking water, Jin went back to his room, wrapped the quilt around his body and fell asleep.

The water in the cup gradually cooled down and Jungkook placed the cup at the head of his bed.

"Sir." A bodyguard stood in front of Jungkook. "Mr. Kim came by accident and didn't see anything."

There was a dead silence in the room.

After a long time.

"I know." Jungkook closed his eyes. "All of you go out."

He liked the quiet and hated people around him to make any noise. The bodyguards had long been used to his hobby and left the room.

There wasn't the slightest bit of drowsiness. Jungkook opened his eyes, his eyes clear. He had no sleepiness at all.

The night was still long. He sat quietly on the sofa and didn't change his sitting position for ages. It wasn't until the sky was light and morning light entered through the gap in the window that Jungkook slowly stood up. He opened the door and the corridor outside was quiet. Jin's door was closed and it was unknown how sweetly the person inside was sleeping.

"Sir." The housekeeper woke Jungkook up. He bowed slightly to Jungkook and handed over the ironed newspaper. Jungkook took the newspaper, glanced at it and saw that in a corner, there was an advertisement for Rising Storm. It starred Jang Na Ra.
