Happiness [Jinkook]

Chapter 23

Things went smoothly for some more weeks. 

After settling everything in the house properly, Jin left back for work while the younger stayed at home. At first it was hard for Jungkook to live in a house all alone for hours but day after day, he got used to it.

Jin directed him to some tutors via online, so in the day time he was occupied with the studies. The elder had to pay extra for them to keep the whole teaching as a secret but didn't mind 'cause Jungkook was overjoyed to return to his studies back.

But after the tutorial work ends, Jungkook becomes bored. He would like if Jin could be by his side all the time an give the affection a pregnant person usually needs but he knew that wasn't possible.

However, he was more than happy to see Jin back in the evening. Even though the older was hella tired somedays, he never forget to spare time for Jungkook at night. He would always ask about his day and even helps with the homework. Jin was careful not to let the other feel left out.

But peace isn't something that would remain for a long time. 'Cause it was broken one day, when Jin's mom called him on a Thursday night.

"Jin, what are those tales on news?" She snapped as soon as her son answered the call. "Why do they tell you've broken up with Namjoon?"

"Mama, what are you talking about?" Jin asked, clearly having no idea.

"Don't act like a baby!" she sounded angrier. "Your dad's freaking out right here."

"Can you explain what happened Mama?" Jin asked, rather impatiently. 

"Watch the news for good lord's sake Jin!! This is a shame for our family."

A sudden electric spark ran through Jin's spine as he half understood what could've possibly happen. He put the call on hold and switched on the Tv. Then he rewound the late night news 'cause it was almost midnight. 

He went through the headlines and gasped loudly as his eyes landed on the second one. 

"The Chairman of famous Jeon Corp. breaks up with his fiance."

Jin didn't need any further details so he switched off the Tv and threw the remote onto the sofa. Gritting his teeth while cursing the Tv channels, he picked up his phone back.

"Mama, I'm sorr...."

"So it's true, huh?" Mrs.Kim shouted. "Why didn't you tell us? Was this marriage a joke to you?"

"Mama please listen to me." Jin begged, helplessly. "You don't know what happened between us. We broke up in the will of both of us."

"Do you expect me to believe that? Namjoon was so looking forward for this. He didn't say anything about a separation to us?"

"I-It was a sudden decision mama." Jin tried to explain. "W-We just realized we're not good enough for each other."

"What do you mean by not good enough?" she retorted. "You guys fit perfectly. We all thought so, specially your dad."

Jin became a little encouraged by his mother's lightened words so he went on like,

"I know mama but things became awkward between us lately, he told me that his past love has returned back to Korea from Spain and wanting to get back together. That was totally unexpected but I agreed right away 'cause I also didn't have any feelings for him. So the break up wasn't worthless exactly. What's the use of a relationship if we can't have feelings for each other, right mama?"
