The gasps coming from everyone's mouths wasn't enough to get Kookie out of his trance
His brain was trying to process Jimin's words as he wondered if he had hear him well.. but a hopeful smile was still drawn on his face
"On legal terms the contrat has been fulfilled, and I only want for him to continue to live his life as he should, now making the best use of the new talents he has found on himself.
My manager will make sure he gets the best offer from a separate agency so he can pursue his career either singing or modeling.
His things are being taken back to his place as we speak.."
He turned his head and looked at the confused boy for a second, who was still showing a wide smile.. as a tear ran down his face
He forced himself to stop looking at those broken eyes and faced forward again
"..he's free"
The singer stepped out of the place without even looking back
"Jimin-ah!"
Jungkook's voice made it clear he was chasing after him
"Jimin-ah, wait!!"
"Don't let him get closer" he told the security guard and walked to his car
He got in and his face wouldn't look at the window even if his life depended on it
"Are we going home, Mr. Park?"
"No..."
he could still hear Jungkook's desperate cry for his attention
"Take me to the nearest hotel"
Jungkook's POV:
-What is this, Jimin?
What just happened?
Why are you doing this?
Is there something I did?
Do you not love me anymore?
Did you even like me?-
Whatever force was tying Jungkook's feet to the same place he saw Jimin for the last time before they drove away just seemed to become stronger
He had been standing there for hours now and there was no sign of him getting tired of it anytime soon
"Mr. Jeon, i'm here to take you home"
"Who are you?" a lifeless voice barely escaping from his lips
"Manager Sejin asked me to make sure you had gotten home"
"Well I'm not. You can go"
"Sir.." the man stared at him, feeling sorry for what he was about to say
"What?"
"....he's not coming back.."
The younger felt a slight pain forming on his throat
It was probably due to holding back the tears that rushed to his eyes on that moment..
the moment he was finally landing on the idea that Jimin had ended it all just like that
It was like a void taking over his chest, every second that passed it became bigger and the pain harder to deal with
He walked inside his house and didn't even make it to his bedroom
Sitting on the floor, his back against the now closed door and his hands holding his head
A part of him kept thinking there must have been a reason for it, but at this point the idea of Jimin just being a heartless jerk was taking over, and before he could even move tears started running down his face
He didn't sob, he didn't force it.. they just kept coming
It didn't matter how many times he'd dry them, it didn't matter how many times he told himself it was probably for the best..
He was broken on the inside
and it felt like he would be for the rest of his life..
