chapter 9

after arguing with Aecha, Hoseok waited at Jungkook’s dorm. But Yoongi called him to come to his studio. Hoseok forgot that he should accompany his hyung for a song production.

Yes, hoseok participates in writing lyrics sometimes to improve his skills.

So, hoseok went to yoongi’s studio not knowing Aecha’s plan.

---

Meanwhile, aecha returned to the dance studio with fake tears.

Jungkook saw that and asked her.

She broke down crying loud.

Jungkook panicked seeing her because she looked so pathetic.

Jungkook went near her and patted her shoulder.

“what happened?”He asked in a low voice.

Then she hugged him and cried on his chest staining his shirt.

He was shocked by her action and tried to free her but she clutched onto his shirt. So, jungkook stood still until she calmed down.

The instructor and the other girl left the room leaving the two alone.

But Jungkook forgot that one person was waiting for him in his house for a birthday wish from his lover.

After a few minutes, she stopped crying and broke the hug asking sorry.

“it’s ok, b-but what happened to you?”

“hoseok h-hoseok”She stuttered and tears formed in her eyes for the next crying session.

“tell me, what about hoseok? What did he say?”Jungkook asked softly.

“hoseok threatened me not to t-talk to you.”

Jungkook looked jungshooked after hearing that. he can’t believe that his kind hyung would do that.

“why would he? He is not that type of person”He said in a serious tone.

“h-he said that he loves you. he grew jealous when I talked to you closely. So, he called me and warned me not to be with you.”

Jungkook was beyond in a shocking state. he zoned out thinking about whom should he trust.

Aecha waved her hand in front of jungkook. He looked at her confused. His eyes were welled up with tears but tried his best to restrict that inside his eyes.

He doesn’t want to believe that his hyung has feelings for him. he doesn’t want to break the friendship with hoseok. He wanted his hyung as his caring brother but not as a rival.

But aecha’s words and actions seem realistic and no one can tell that she is lying. She is such a good actor.

Aecha continued,“I know you won’t believe it. But he knows about your relationship and your boyfriend, am I right?”

“yes”

“He has done some research about you. I asked him if you already have a boyfriend, but he said that he doesn’t care and he will do anything to have you and also he will destroy my career if I talk with you. and---”

“and—”Jungkook asked impatiently.

“and he won’t hesitate to break your relationship and harm taehyung”

“w-what?”

Jungkook’s face turned serious when she mentioned taehyung.

“he said this now and I don’t want to have any problems now. I got this favorite job after many struggles. If I get into any scandals, I lost my job and you know… this is very important to me”

Then she sat on the floor and cried out loud.

Jungkook was fuming with anger. He wanted to kill hoseok now.

Jungkook went near her and helped her to stand up.

“don’t worry Aecha. You won’t lose your job or anything. I’ll make sure he won’t cross our line.”

Aecha’s heart danced like a maniac when jungkook said “our line”. That means she made an impression on jungkook’ s mind.(Stream Maniac by stray kids😌 )

“thank you jungkook and don’t fight with hoseok. I don’t want your friendship to be broken because of me. I’ll feel guilty.”

“don’t feel guilty, the one who should feel guilty is hoseok, not you. he doesn’t deserve to be my friend. I’ll put him in his place”

Aecha nodded hesitantly and walked shakily in fear. She deserves an Oscar for her wonderful acting.

Jungkook held aecha’s hand and guided her to her car.

“I’ll drive you to your home. You look worn out. just tell me the directions.”

“it’s fine jungkook, I can go by myself. I don’t want to stress you as you are overworked today.”

And she opened the car door but tripped on her foot. She is acting.

Jungkook held her arms and made her sit in the car.

“I told you, you can’t drive. Let me drive. Just enter the location on the phone.”

Aecha nodded and thanked him with a small smile.

Then Jungkook sat inside the driver’s seat and entered her home’s location.

The drive was silent and awkward. Aecha looked outside the window smiling to herself that her plan was a success. She succeeded in distracting jungkook from taehyung’s thoughts.

Jungkook’s mind was flooded with confusion, anger, and rage. He finally believed Aecha’s words and he was disgusted by hoseok’s behavior that was narrated by snake Aecha.

They both finally arrived at Aecha’s home. Aecha thanked Jungkook for dropping her at home.

“thank you Jungkook”

“no need Aecha, just rest well and don’t worry about what that hoseok said. We will always be friends like this. good night. I gotta go to the dorm.”

“ok, Jungkook. But it’s too late and how will you find a bus or cab now? You can stay here this night.”

“no no, things get complicated if I do that. I’ll meet you tomorrow.”

“ok bye Jungkook, good night.”

With that Jungkook nodded and went to a bus stop.

“friends, my ass. Huh, will see what happens”---Aecha thought and laid on the bed. ---

Jungkook took a cab and went to his dorm. He sighed as his phone died. He left it in charge and plopped on his bed. Then he closed his eyes traveling to his dreamland.

After the phone fully charged, his lock screen was spammed with 16 missed calls and 20 text messages from Taehyung.

Jungkook forgot about Taehyung after that incident.

Taehyung’s pov:

Jimin surprised me with a birthday cake when I was talking with Jungkook at midnight. It was exactly 12:00 am and I was happy that my birthday was started with good people.

I made a wish before blowing the candle.

“I want to spend time with Jungkook today. That’s my biggest gift.”

Time passed and I spent the time going to the university and Arcade. It was evening and I texted Jungkook about whether he could make it or not.

He replied with yes. I waited for him patiently. I know he is too busy to spend time with me. But he promised me he would be with me for some time.

Soon the moon appears in the dark sky but there was no answer from Jungkook.

I called and texted him but no response. I thought he should be stuck in a busy schedule.

I went to the balcony and stared at the street hoping for my lover’s presence.

I sat on the recliner and watched the streets through the railings.

I forgive him because he must have his reasons for not coming. He loves me and I believe it must be his label’s fault.

It was 1:27 am but there was no sign of Jungkook. Soon darkness filled my eyes as I drifted to sleep. And I felt someone tug me in a blanket. That chubby hand was Jimin. he is too kind.

~~~

Taehyung doesn’t know that it’s all because of Aecha.

And she just started a huge war between feelings of people.
