~ 21 ~ (Finale)

< I recommend to listen to "Lie to me" By 5 seconds of summer while reading the first part. :) >

        Just a simple smile that rose on Jungkook's face immediately made Sungi already recognize what he is about to say. He slowly held the older's hand and led him to the bench.

     "I've fallen in love more than once, multiple times actually," a soft sigh escaped his lips while he saw Sungi observe him attentively. "It's something that I noticed, my heart has been captured many of times, by Park Jimin."

   Sungi looked down on the hand that he was holding and kept listening without interrupting him, he asked the question because he already knew what his answer will be.

   "It got to the point where I am crazy about him," he heard himself say that out loud and he couldn't help but scoff, "Well, in a good way," he added. "I can keep going but I won't..." he felt a little guilty.

  The younger shook his head, caressing his thumb on the older's hand, "Hyung, I already knew that," he sniffed and felt himself tear up, "When I saw you for the first time this year, you were depressed. I couldn't even catch a simple smile on your face, I tried my hardest to cheer you up, nevertheless, I wasn't successful." A tear escaped his spacious honey eyes, and has fallen onto his cheek. "Hyung, you're someone that I'll never regret falling in love with. But can you blame me? You are an astonishing person. T-The way you treat Jimin hyung makes everyone dream of having someone like you, listen carefully to what I have to say because it will be the first and last time that I'll say it." He gasped all the air he could to calm himself down before announcing what he had to say.

    Jungkook was a little tensed, seeing Sungi almost break down like this in-front of him, it made his heart ache a little, he couldn't imagine falling in love with someone that doesn't love him back. It must be painful.

   Sungi held Jungkook's hand now tightly and was ready to express himself, "I loved you Jungkook, you were not a Hyung to me, not a brother, you were a man. However, this hand..." he caressed it one last time before putting on the older's thigh and letting it go, "belongs to Jimin Hyung." He smiled while tears started rushing through his eyes, breath was more than heavy, feeling his lips tremble just asking to be away from him so he can start crying intensely, so he can let Jungkook go.

   "S-Sungi... I am sorry, I will give you your space, but I'll let you know, the person that will love you and treat you the same way I do with Jimin, is closer than you think." He patted his hair and kept sitting next to him on the bench.

   The younger sniffled delicately, "C-Can you go now? I really want to start crying like an idiot." His voice cracked a bit.

   "I texted someone so he can be with you, for now I'm staying until he gets here. I'm not leaving you alone here," that kindness of his made Sungi want to cry more. "I'll close my eyes and ears! I won't see anything or hear anything okay!?" And he did, the older closed his eyes and had his hands on top of his ears. He did this for the younger, so he can cry without feeling embarrassed.

  Sungi couldn't help but chuckle a bit seeing him like that, he felt happy, he learned a lot from Jungkook about love, and he wouldn't rather having his first love with anyone else other than him. This was a big chapter of his life that he will close now, well not now, but after crying, and move on.

   Jungkook tried his best to comfort him, because he was like a younger brother to him that he wanted to protect. He was happy though, he wanted to see Sungi with a man that can love him the same way he did. He started humming a song, "I don't hear anything! My eyes are closed shut," he said while he hummed.
