(ENG)(BTS/JINCENTRIC) INNOCENCE
Chapter 26
When Jungkook entered the flat, he saw a familiar figure sitting on the sofa with blank eyes. Seeing the bandages on the other's head and limbs, Jungkook panicked, dropped his backpack on the floor, and ran to him, asking worriedly.
-"Are you okay? What are these injuries from?"
Jin's lifeless eyes slowly regained focus. He turned his head to look at Jungkook's worried eyes, wondering if his gaze was real or if it was acting.
Jungkook noticed that the older's attitude was a bit strange, so he gently hugged and comforted him.
-"Don't be so quiet. Tell me something. You scared me."
"Jeon Jungkook, you really are a talented actor."
Kim Seokjin silently felt the warmth from the other's chest, but in his heart, he wanted to tear the other's mask and scolded him badly. However, it was not the time. If Jungkook wished to act like this, he wouldn't have let him act alone. Apparently, a solo play was so boring, wasn't it?
"Jungkook, let see how our drama will end."
-"Yesterday, when I was trying to save a puppy, I was hit. Fortunately, the driver didn't drive fast, so I kinda missed the chance to reunite with my ancestors. Haha,"- Kim Seokjin joked while leaning back to avoid Jungkook's embrace and caressing. " I was at the hospital last night. I was afraid you would be worried, so I told you that I was staying at my friend's house. Don't be mad at me anymore."
By the time Jungkook caught at the other's apologetic eyes and slightly pouting lips, the anger had been accumulated since yesterday, suddenly removed with the reluctance and throbbing pain. He stroked the older's soft black hair, lowered his head, and placed his dry lips on it. He inhaled a deep, warm scent emanating from Jin and signed sadly.
-"Hyung, you've influenced so much...even more than I could have ever imagined."
A slight flutter rose in his heart when he witnessed the sudden action of the other, but in the blink of an eye, a cold smile bloomed on his lips.
"So what?"
-"C'mon, don't coddle me anymore. I'm hungry. Cook for me, please."
Kim Seokjin made an excuse to push the younger away and rubbed his stomach, whining.
-"Oh wait, I am now a patient. Buy me cooked food. I don't wanna wait anymore."
Jungkook chuckles at his cuteness, his eyes filled with tenderness, and nodded.
-"Okay, what do you wanna eat?"
"I'll empty your pocket, you bastards."
-"Angus beef steak, grilled lobster, truffle pizza, abalone sou-..."
Stunningly looking at his plump pink lips that kept moving, spewing out a bunch of expensive food and bright clear eyes, Jungkook couldn't help but lower his head to print a light kiss on his lips and then smiled.
-"I'll buy you anything."
Kim Seokjin stiffly faced the blushing cheeks of the opposite person. Before he regained consciousness, Jungkook had run out of the apartment while telling him to wait a moment.
After being motionless for a while, Jin's trembling soul also returned to its correct position, and his eyes suddenly hit the backpack the boy threw on the floor. He limped over to pick up Jungkook's bag and returned to the sofa.
Since the younger had a habit of leaving his wallet and phone on his body, he wouldn't come back to pick up his backpack. Jin calmly emptied and checked everything inside the bag.
When he reached home at noon, he had rummaged through Jungkook's suitcase but couldn't find anything suspicious, so he guessed it would keep important things close to him. And Jungkook always wore this backpack.
As he was about to put everything back in the bag, a carefully folded paper suddenly fell from the miscellaneous folder. Jin curiously opened the paper and saw the title in bold at the top "Appointment letter to return DNA test results". He read it carefully, the date of the appointment was this morning, but inside Jungkook's backpack, there was no such document. Jin turned on his phone to take a picture of the entire paper, then packed up Jungkook's belongings and put them in his backpack. When he was done, he returned to his room, locked the door, and dialed the number on the paper.
-"Hello, I'm Jeon Jungkook. I have registered for a DNA test with code 979010. This morning I went to get the results, but unfortunately, on the way home, my bag was robbed. I lost everything, including the document. Can you resend me the electronic version?"
-"My date of birth is 01/09/97, old phone number is XXXXXX9792, the ID number is YYYYYYYY."
-"Please send the result to my email as soon as possible because I am in an urgent. Thanks so much. Bye"
Kim Seokjin hung up the phone, sat down on the bed, and waited silently. Who knew if this harmless piece of paper could be a critical point in this chess game.
"Ting...ting"
Kim Seokjin quickly opened his email. Seeing a new email from the DNA Testing Center, he took a breath to calm down and opened one of the two pdf files attached. His heartbeat faster when he saw Kim Taehyung and Oh Sehuyk's names in bold at the top. He immediately ignored the complex numbers to reach the conclusion line right below.
"THE PROBABILITY OF PATERNITY IS 0%"
Reading it carefully once, he continued to open the second pdf file. Still Kim Taehyung's name but this time with someone else named Kim Hanjoo. Jin felt this name was quite familiar but couldn't recall it for a moment. Ignoring the frustrating feeling of not remembering, he scrolled down and was stunned at the conclusion.
"THE PROBABILITY OF PATERNITY IS 99,9999%"
Quickly regaining consciousness, he went online and typed Kim Hanjoo's name into the search engine. The middle-aged man's face with a friendly smile and the newspaper headlines gradually appearing made the blood in his body run around in shock.
Minister of Defense Kim Hanjoo will be one of the brightest candidates for the presidency this year.
Mr. Kim Hanjoo's votes are holding the lead.
People are pretty satisfied with Candidate Kim Hanjoo's speech.
-"It can't no way be this Kim Hanjoo"
He quickly looked up Mr. Kim Hanjoo's biographical information and compared it with the date of birth written on the autopsy results. It matched.
-"People can share the same name and same date of birth, right?"
He dropped the phone on the side of the bed and laid down. Jin stared at the ceiling light to immerse himself in a bunch of questions until Jungkook's voice called him out to eat.
He patted his face waking himself up, and then opened the door to follow Jungkook out. Seeing a pile of expensive food on the dining table, he really had no appetite but still sat down pretending to be excited. Kim Seokjin asked Jungkook to turn on the TV since a too quiet atmosphere could urge him to do something stupid.
Jungkook obeyed, turned on the TV, and sat down across from him, thoughtfully dividing the food onto the older's plate.
The sound of the TV somewhat made the atmosphere between the two less awkward and tense. Jin was about to munch on a bland steak when he heard the name Kim Hanjoo coming from the TV.
-"Oh, Mr. Kim Hanjoo looks like a good president, doesn't he?" Kim Seokjin raised his head to look at Jungkook, aimlessly commenting.
-"Don't judge a book by its cover. Some people have the face of a gentleman, but they're nothing other than scums"- Jeon Jungkook didn't look at him but stared at the TV screen. The beefsteak on his plate was pitifully pinned by chopsticks.
At this moment, Jin was able to conclude that Minister of Defense Kim Hanjoo was Kim Taehyung's biological father.
