Chapter 6

After the tiring day at work Kijoon enters his apartment, but unlike everyday, the penthouse was engulfed in darkness and was eerily silent. Usually he would be greeted by Jungkook's bunny smile who would be in the kitchen from where amazing mouthwatering smells will be coming

"kookie?" Kijoon calls out while switching on the lights and keeping his bag on the couch in the living room

He was about to call him once again when Jungkook comes out of his room with one towel wrapped around his waist and he was drying his hair with the other.

"ahh hyung, you are back?" surprisingly he didn't give Kijoon either his bunny smile or his warm welcome hug

"I thought you were out when I saw the lights were out" Kijoon replies, checking Jungkook for his facial expression but the boy was not showing any expression and Kijoon knows that Jungkook does that only when he wants to hide something because he couldn't lie to him so he just shows no emotions at all

"ahh! That, I was tired from the practice today, I was forced to join dance classes, so I came and went straight to take a bath" he replies "oh hyung! You've got a mail" saying that Jungkook motions towards the coffee table and then goes back inside his room, maybe to put on some clothes

Kijoon goes towards the coffee table and looks at the brown envelop on it, he frowns when he sees that there was no stamp nor any address written on it which clearly means that it didn't come through mail

He picks up the folder and opens it to find a few picture of young girls along with their profile info and at once he knew what it was, a matchmaking thing that his mother has been talking about since last week, he was yet to tell Jungkook and the lack of proof of address on the folder makes it all clear

He keep the folder on the table and goes to jungkook's room and enters without knocking and Jungkook turns with wide eyes who was only in his track pants

"hyung, you scared me" Jungkook says while grabbing his t-shirt which was Kijoon's till last month until Jungkook decided that it will be very comfortable to sleep in

"who came?" Kijoon asks looking at him

"w-what are talking about hyung?" Jungkook says while pulling down his t-shirt over his head

"father or mother?" Kijoon asks again

Jungkook sighs "Mother" he replies while sitting on his bed.

Kijoon sighs while loosening his tie and sitting next to Jungkook

"why didn't you tell me hyung?" Jungkook asks when Kijoon rests his head on jungkook's shoulder

"she talked about it last week, I never thought that she would come up with those, this fast" Kijoon says sounding really tired and closes his eyes while inhaling jungkook's coconut scent which always calms him down

"a-are you going to look at those?" Jungkook asks while stuttering for which Kijoon just sighs

"mother said that its about time for you to find a partner" Jungkook tell him

"and what do you think?" Kijoon asks him

"and she even said that even hobi hyung is getting married and you both are of same age" Jungkook replies ignoring his hyung's question

"mhmmm" comes Kijoon's only reply

"hyung, what do you think?" Jungkook asks timidly

"what do you think kookie, should I look through those and find myself someone?" he asks, now sitting straight and looking at Jungkook who was looking down

"I don't know" comes his barely audible reply

"is that why you are all worked up?" Kijoon asks again, his tie and coat long gone

"hyung?" Jungkook calls out and the slight crack in his voice didn't go unnoticed by Kijoon but he decided to do nothing about it for now, as he wanted to hear what the younger had to say about it

"yes kookie" he asks

"you wont leave me, right? Even if you get married" Jungkook asks now looking up at his hyung with his wide puppy eyes which were now shining like crystals due the tears that were getting collected in them

Kijoon sighs and shakes his head at his cluelessness and then without any ado he engulfs the younger into a hug and kisses his hair

"hyung will never leave his kookie, do you understand that?" Kijoon asks while caressing the younger's hair and feels the younger nod against his chest, then he felt his white shirt getting soaked and he breathes a sigh coz when kookie spills the beans and cries in front of Kijoon that means everything is settled and the younger will be back to being normal.

After a few minutes of whispering cute and sweet things into younger's ear, Kijoon breaks the hug to see his face, it might sound cruel but he likes to see his kookie's face after he cries coz his cute little nose will be all red making him into a cute bunny Rudolph with his big doe shiny eyes but that doesn't means that he will make his kookie cry.

Kijoon looks down at his kookie and smiles showing off his dimple, he was very fond of this young bunny and he was very thankful to have him in his arms and he couldn't imagine leaving him at any cost

Kijoon brings his face a little bit down and then places a kiss on the younger's nose for which the younger smiles at him and pokes his hyung's dimple

"look at my kookie's nose, all red like cherry, should I take a bite" Kijoon says while acting like he was about to bite the younger's nose for which the younger just scrunches his nose and giggles and Kijoon just hugs him and sighs with contempt

"did you eat dinner, kookie?" Kijoon asks while the younger was scrunching up the elder's shirt where there was a big transparent spot due to his tears

"no, and I am sorry hyung, I didn't make any" he nuzzles more into the elder

"its ok kookie, go and wash you face, today hyung will make dinner, ok?" Kijoon says while he breaks the hug and kisses the younger's nose one last time and stands up to go to his room

"hyung will change and make dinner,ok?" Jungkook nods and Kijoon walks out of his room

Jungkook sniffs and wipes his tears and walks into his washroom

***********************************************************************************************

Yujun was sitting at the bar counter all alone, sipping at his glass of whiskey

Today was Friday and Friday night was his me time, but he decided to try a new bar instead of his regular bar or more specifically, he got tired in the middle of driving and decided to go into the first bar he saw

Anyways, he was all happy, having the sip of his drink and thinking about new strategies that he could apply into their business, when his phone rings

"this kid" he says while looking at the name of the caller

"what is it Kijoon? its Friday night for god's sake" Yujun says, clearly irritated which was not a new thing for his friends

"hyung, mother send me some suitor's profile and that too through kookie"

"and you called me...why?" Yujun says, not at all interested

"I don't want to get married"

"why?" Yujun could imagine Kijoon rolling his eyes

"you totally know why" Kijoon whines

"joon, its not me who should know, tell that to your mother for once and for all that you like that kid, end of the problem" Yujun replies with serious tone

"but what if Jungkook doesn't really likes me..."

"yeah yeah...all that being grateful shit, then tell him to go out with someone, in that way you will not be holding him back and both of you will know what your true feelings are" Yujun says again sounding irritated

"hyung! I won't let that happen" comes Kijoon's panicked reply

"listen up lover boy, I am getting really pissed of right now when you clearly know that I am not the right person to discuss your puppy love with and yet you decided to disturb me at my me time, hang up before I come there and make you do that myself" comes Yujun's deadpanned voice and the next thing heard was a click sound and the line was dead

He smirks while pocketing his phone and takes a sip from his glass all ready to enjoy his peace of mind but it was again interrupted by voices coming from the nearby table

"WHAT THE HELL! HOW DARE YOU SPILL MY DRINK AND THAT TOO, ON MY SHOES, ARE YOU BLIND?" comes a slurry shout which indicates that the man was clearly drunk

"I am so sorry sir, here I'll get you another drink" the short waiter turns to leave and that's when Yujun sees his face and at that one glance, he looked familiar but the drunk guy gets hold of his hand and turns him back around

"where do you think, you are going, without paying for my shoes" the guys face was dangerously close to the waiter's "they are quite expensive, you see" saying that his hand travels down the waiter's back who was shivering with fear, his hand was about to touch his butt but the drunk guy finds a strong hold around his wrist which was hovering in the air near the waiter's butt

Yujun was waiting for the voices to end so that he could peacefully see the waiter's face but then he sees the perverts hand travelling along the shivering waiter's back and something flipped within him, he empties the contents of the glass and tells the bartender to make him another and then he jumps from his bar stool and holds onto the wrist of the man who was about to touch the waiter's butt

Without leaving his wrist, Yujun grabs the waiter's shoulder and pulls him to stand behind him

"where do you think, you were letting your hands go?" Yujun asks too bored to put any emotion into it

"and who do you think you are?" asks the man

"I am the owner of this bar and if you don't want me to call the police to press charges against you for molesting my workers, I suggest you better leave" Yujun deadpans, his grip tightening

And looks like the person was too drunk to make any sense of the situation, coz he was about to leave but Yujun pulls him back

"pay for the drink as well as his tip" Yujun says while pointing behind his back with his thumb

He fidgets with his purse and throws a few bills onto the table and then squirms off

"thank you sir, are you really the owner?" Yujun hears a very beautiful voice near his ear and he turns to come face to face with the person he thought it was

"you are welcome and no I am not, but if a lie can help, you better do that right?" Yujun asks and the waiter nods and smiles which turns his eyes in the shape of crescent moon and by then Yujun was sure that he is the person he thinks he is.

While Yujun was busy thinking, the waiter cleans the table and takes the bills and goes back to the bar but not before bowing to Yujun.

Yujun goes back to his seat and finds his refilled drink and sips from it, then he calls for the waiter

"hey" the young waiter looks at him and comes to him with a smile

"how can I help you sir" the boy asks

"amm, do you by any chance know someone by the name...amm..." Yujun tries to recall Hoshik's soon to be fiancé's name " ahh yes, one Kim Taeyang"

Hearing that the smile vanishes from the waiter's face and confusion takes over his features

"how do you know him" he asks confused and then Yujun hears a sharp intake of breath " oh my god, are you Jung Hoshik?" Jimin asks while covering his mouth with both of his hands in shock

Yujun just smiles and shakes his head while sipping from his drink "no, I am a friend of his, hello I am Min Yujun, one of the CEOs of NYH industries

"hello sir, I am Park Jimin" jimin says while sighing and bowing to Yujun again

"but how did come to know that I know taetae, I mean Taeyang" jimin asks confused

"the picture that we received had the two of you in it" Yujun explains while finishing off his drink

"ahh...right" jimin says in understanding

Yujun stands up from his chair pays for his drinks

"ok Jimin, it was nice meeting you" Yujun says while grabbing his coat from the chair

"same here sir" jimin says smiling

"I guess we will meet again soon, till then stay away from perverts" Yujun winks for which jimin gives his eye smile and Yujun leaves but when he takes a final glance towards the younger, he could see a tint of pink on his cheeks which makes Yujun smirk.

*********************************************************************************************

Kim Taeyang was lying on his bed while hugging onto his pillow, his thoughts occupied by one tall handsome male

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't hear his hyung entering his room or calling out to him, it was only after Jin flicked his forehead that Taeyang glared at his hyung and sits up while holding onto his foehead

"ahhh, hyung" Taeyang whines

"what were so busy thinking about that you didn't hear me call you so many times" Jin asks

"nothing" Taeyang says, again lying dow on his bed

"what happened taetae, tell your hyung, cmon" Jin says and lies on his dongsaeng

"no really hyung, nothing happened" Taeyang says

"is it about the wedding, is it too early for you?" Jin asks which reminds Taetae of Hoshik's question

"its fine hyung, not like it makes any difference, my life will be the same" Taeyang says his gaze falling on his side table where he has placed that gift

"hyung" Taeyang decides to ask his hyung something

"yes" jin sits up to look up at Taeyang

"what do you think about Hoshikie hyung?" Taeyang asks

"Hoshikie hyung" jin gives a teasing smile to his dongsaeng "already with cute names?" Jin raises his eyebrow in a teasing way and Taeyang throws the pillow at him that he was hugging earlier

"ahhh hyung, answer my question"

"he looks good but not as good as my Taeyangie, ofcourse"Jin tries to tickle Taeyang which Taeyang dodges and whines

"hyung, you clearly know what I mean" Taeyang says with a serious tone

Jin sighs "from the way he talked and how he answered my question, I felt like he is genuine and moreover when he asked for your opinion, I felt like he actually cares about you but then I thought that it was too early to exactly know him but he is fine"

" hyung" jin looks at tae

"if I tell you something, promise me that you wont tell mother about it" jin rolls his eyes at that

"as if I have told her anything, now spill the beans" jin says, getting more settled oon Taeyang's bed

"hyung, I think I lowkey got mad at him" Taeyang says while biting at his lower lip

"what exactly happened?" jin asks while sighing, he knows that Taeyang gets offensive over small things and he clearly know why

Taeyang sighs and tells him how things went down "and then he gave me this gift but I just walked away" Taeyang says while grabbing the still neatly packed gift from the side table

Jin sighs "tae, its ok, you had your reasons but you know he has got no idea about what you've gone through, right? I am not asking you to tell him or anything coz I know you will when you feel like it but the next time you talk to him, keep this in mind that he is just getting to know you and so are you, ok?"

Taeyang nods "now what should I do, hyung? Should I call him?"

"how about you open that gift of his and then decide, he might be waiting to hear from you?" Jin suggests

"should I apologize, hyung?" Taeyang asks while looking at the gift on his lap

"its you who needs to decide about that, now I am going, you open that thing and then decide, ok?" jin says while standing up and Taeyang nods and jin leaves

Taeyang sighs and opens the wrapper and as soon as the wrapper was gone, his boxy smile was back at his face

It was a limited edition drawing pencil and charcoal kit from a very well know brand

Taeyang stands from his bed and grabs his drawing book and starts drawing with utter concentration.
