《"Partners"- Jin ff ✓》7
Advertisement
Night eventually came and Jin hasn't got out of his room. He hasn't eaten anything all day and, even if I hate my guts to admit it, I'm kind of worried about him. I know that not getting that Jungkook guy wasn't ideal, we still have the address for that party and so we can sneak in.
I made my dinner and I had a clear view for his room door, and even though the food is right in front of me, I can't stop looking at that door and worrying about him...guess I'm human after all...but what the hell happened in that bathroom for him to be like this?
I was hesitant to knock on his door since we don't have the kind of comforting relationship, so I passed by his room with my bowl of ramen, in hopes the smell would get you to his room.
"Hmm, this ramen is so good!"- I exaggerated for him to hear.
I don't know much about Jin, but I do know he loves food...but nothing happened.
Then I went to get a mango, cause I've seen him eat a lot of these.
"What am I doing?..."- I sighed and tried agains- "hmm, what a beautiful mango, it's sweet and juicy!..."
Again nothing, so I let him be. But this time I sat by his door in case he opens it.
It's 1 a.m. and his door finally opened.
"What are you doing?... you were so silent I thought you were in bed"- Jin told me.
"Yeah... I just felt like drinking something... I bought some wine...do you...want some?"- I hesitantly asked in hopes he would share what worried him...wow, I'm such a good person
We sat down at our table and I popped the wine for us to drink, but before I made Jin eat something.
"So...what happened-"
"Do you know how wolves live?"- Jin interrupted me out of nowhere when I was going to ask him about what happened in the bathroom.
"Wolves?.."- I was confused at his sudden statement
"Yes, wolves. When they are born, they are automatically part of the pack, but when they turn different from others they are out as fast as they were in..."- he stopped on the wine.

"Are you a wolf?"
He simply smiled and looked down at my question
"Maybe"- he was unclear to me. Maybe regretting his decision only talking to me
After a second of silence, I spoke too as I felt he was embarrassed.
"I wasn't born automatically into a pack... I was born a lonely wolf"- I broke the ice and he looked at me - "...my parents didn't want me so I grew up alone, as you can see not everyone needs a pack to be successful"- I finished.
"Right...do you have any siblings?"- he asked me.
"No.. I guess my parents learned from their mistake"- I shook my head and said
"Well...it's hard to be alone and still wanting to protect the ones you love.."- he sounded like a grown up.
"I see you have siblings"- I assumed.
"I don't, just people I disappointed"- he was unclear once again.
"Tss... I can't believe I shared things with you"- I mumbled while rolling my eyes and sipping on the wine. I shared and he blocked me.
"I heard that"- he said -"besides, if I remember well, you and I are not friends"- Jin said in his casual tone
"It's your fault"- I said.
"Yah! You started it!"- he blamed me.
"You're the one who said I slipped on poop!"- we started a fight.
"And you did!"
"It was ice cream!"- I said.
"It was not!"
"Okay, fine, whatever, it's one a.m., I don't want to fitgh and I'm tired. I'm going to bed"- I said getting up.
"My mother is an angel and my father shows me live in a weird sadistic way"- Jin said suddenly and I stopped on my trails. Did he just shared things with me?
I turned to him and, although his back was turned to me, his head was low. I guess he doesn't like to share things at all.
"I'm sorry..."
"It's okay...are we friends now?"- he asked me and I was surprised those words were ever going to come out of his mouth.
"Hum..sure?..."
"Great, then as a friend I'm sure you won't mind cleaning this up"- he got up and gave me a smile as if he had won.

"But-"
"Thank you friend"- he said and left not giving me a chance to speak.
"Nop... I still hate him..."- I thought out loud, but I realized something else. He still didn't tell me why he was upset today...oh, he is good... I also realized that he doesn't like to share his personal life. I guess he prefers to show everyone a smile and make jokes rather than to show anyone how hurt he may be.
*********
Morning eventually came and I was ready to talk about work with Jin, since no american listens to us. Thankfully he was now eating...a mango, must I had.
"So, what will be our next move? Do we follow anyone or so we just simply wait until the party?"- I asked him.
"Why not wait? We'll have everyone there"- Jin said.
"What about that Jungkook guy?"
"Don't worry... I think he has a lower position in the gang piremide...he probably won't be there"- he said and I nodded since he is kind of right.
"So...what now?..."- I hesitantly asked because I don't feel like doing nothing the whole week.
"Now...we clean"- he said putting a broom and some cleaning things in front of me.
"What?"- I was confused.
"I'm not cleaning the bathroom!"- he said and once again I hate him.
We both cleaned our rooms and I did the bathroom. Jin put music on for both of us to hear and is dancing like crazy. I can't help it but to smile. He doesn't look like the man who was sad yesterday.
I was vacuuming the living room and Jin was cleaning the kitchen. The music had already stopped and e had put some Kdrama on tv for him to listen while working. I can't help it but to think how futile these people represent love. Acting like all of us will find love forever just by a look in the eye.
"Pff... I can't believe people still watch this"- I mule to myself after turning the vacuum off.
"What? Kdramas?"- Jin heard me since it's an open space.
"Well, yeah...like let's be honest, if a man followed me like he did, I would consider him a stalker...and why does he follow her? Love at first sight?...yeah, right"- I got sarcastic.
"You don't believe in love at sight? When just a cross of sight makes your heart beat fast?"- he romanticized.
"The human intinct is to look away when someone looks right into your eyes"- I said.
Out of nowhere, Jin came to me and put me against the wall trapping me in between his arms and looking at me right in the eyes.
"What are you doing?"- I asked him even though my heart accelerated.
"Love at first sight"- he smiled like a seducer. Is he trying to make a move on me just like he does to all of the girls in the office?
I let out a sight while rolling my eyes and he got confused, letting his guard down. I quickly take his arms of my side to be free and I pushed him to the sofa getting on top of him. His eyes were wide in surprise
"I don't know if you noticed, but the first time we saw each other was a long time ago, we didn't have love at first sight back then, much less now"- I determinedly said and he gulped since I was getting closer -"and another thing you should know is that I'm not easy like the girls you get at the first try. Do this again to play with me and you'll regret it, you hear me?"- I said in a sadistic smile knowing I completely won this battle. I casually got up from him and headed to the door.
"Where are you going?!"- he asked me in a confused and hesitant tone
"Buy drinks, I needed it if I'm living with you"- I said and made my way out casually like nothing happened.
