Sugar and spice


Seokjin took a small sip of his jasmine tea,  a wave of warmth spread through his  body while his doe eyes wandered around the cafe. Other than him there was a couple,  drinking coffee and chatting.  Jin could feel the happiness radiating from both by the way they looked at each other or chuckled together...it was cute honestly.
Now he, can't experience this type of happiness since he was a single man.
By choice of course.
Realising that he starred way too much at the couple he looked away and focused on his hot drink letting his thoughts drown in the sound of rain outside.


Seokjin was feeling sleepy after a tiring day at work,but there he was. He picked this weird habit of sitting alone in and drinking something hot whenever he was tired and overthinking.  It helped him calm down.


"Well well if this wasn't my Jinnie."
The deep voice woke him up from the nap he was almost taking.
"Taetae!"
"What are you doing here by yourself? Mourning your single pretty ass?" Taehyung said with a smirk before dropping his weight on the seat across him.
"Just say you want an excuse to talk about my ass."
"I am not gonna lie." he replied surpassing a chuckle then continued "But unfortunately that's not what I came to say."
"And?"
"I met someone...two days ago? And he asked me about you."
"J-jungkook?" Jin asked feeling that his heart beat slowed down almost to zero. But when Tae nodded his heart went batshit crazy and started banging against his ribcage.


Jeon Jungkook a.k.a Jin's "ex" boyfriend. They dated in highschool, and were a perfect match despite the huge difference between them. Jin was a "nerd" especially with his appearance and studying all time while Jungkook was a big trouble maker that no one dared to mess with. Jin accepted Jk's offer to go on a date not because he feared him but he really wanted some change and adventure in his life.
And he got it. 
He can never forget the thrill of skipping math classes just so they can meet on the rooftop,  making a lame excuse to go to the nurse's room just so Jk can steal some kisses from him without getting caught,  Jk's pranks in the library...  Everything was perfect with him. Even when Jk dropped out of school he still kept his relationship with him.
Until the day his parents forced him to break up with Jungkook saying he's toxic and a very bad influence on his perfect, unmatched behavior.
Till that day, he remembers how hurt Jungkook was when he broke up with him, he even threatened Jin saying he'll make him regret it.


"Jinnie you're alright?"
"Yeah sure. So what? I don't care? I don't miss him at all and I don't love him."
"I didn't say you do."
"...How is he?"
"He keeps getting into trouble with law and such."
"Well he's not educated what can you expect...typical bad boy Jk is."
"That was harsh."
"Just saying the truth...My parents wouldn't have forced me to break up with him if he was "Good"
"But you wouldn't have fell for him if he was good,  no?"
Seokjin opened his mouth to reply back but no words came.
Tae grinned in triumph.
"Bingo."

His eyes were red and puffy from crying. Jungkook gently removed the round glasses from his eyes and wiped the salty tears with his sleeves.
"Who did this to you? Tell me so I can beat them."
"I got... A- on my test." he said while hiccuping and Jk jaw's dropped on the floor. Jin literally was crying his soul out because of an "A-" Jungkook would consider himself lucky if he ever got a "C-"
"Stop crying you nerd." he said while hugging his small boyfriend.  Both arms around his head. "I hate to see you cry."
"Well isn't that lovely,a dickhead and his whiney crying bitch." Seohan,  whom was one of Jin's bullies said with a smirk.
"What did you call my baby?" Jungkook asked with a very cold tome while letting go of the embrace.
"I called him a whiney bi-" before he could continue Jungkook's fist harshly collided against his face. He fell back and blood immediately ran down his nose.


Jin groaned while tossing and turning...he didn't need Tae to remind him of what he desperately tried to forget in five years. Now he can't sleep at all,  with all these vivid memories flooding his mind.
He grabbed the phone and quickly dialed a number.


"Hello?" the person sounded very sleepy, his voice was unrecognizable. Probably Jin woke him up.
"I didn't want to! I didn't want to break up with Jungkook okay?! What if he was a bad boy?! I fuckin loved it! I fuckin loved all the inappropriate things he did to me when-"
"Kim Seokjin what the hell are you saying?! This is your boss!"
"...not Taetae."
"No!"
"Oh my god sir I am so so sorry! I am sorry sir for waking you up,  I thought-"
"Let's pretend this conversation never happened please. And go to sleep because tomorrow we have a lot of work."
"Yes sir."
*Call Ended*

"When was the last time you actually got out?"
"Yesterday."
"I don't mean sitting all alone in the cafe Jin."
"Uh-"
"Forget it...tonight we're doing something fun...I have a match and I need you as my lucky charm."
"Jackson,  we both know,  I bring everything but luck...go back to your office and let me type."
"No arguing.  You're coming."
"Keep on dreaming."


At night :


"I swear God Jackson! What the hell is this place?!" Jin hissed while following Jackson. The latter took him some club underground. It was filled with all kind of suspicious looking people and drunkards. He almost got his behind smacked three times but Jackson saved him from the harassment.
He just wish he accepted Tae's invitation to restaurant instead of this madness.
The stares he got made him self conscious. Again curse Jackson for picking his outfit.
He made him wear a red silk dress shirt with tight ripped black jeans while his black hair was styled not to mention the gloss he applied to his already glossy lips.


"Again what are you going to do Jackson?"
"Wrestling."
Jin's eyes winded.
"You're kidding..."
"I've been doing it for a while now. And I gain more money than at work...However today the winner will receive a huge amount of cash...it'll be against one of the strongest underground wrestler...as for you,  each wrestler bring a lucky charm with him. Be honored I chose you."
"Oh well I'll enjoy seeing you getting your ass beaten."
"You traitor."


"Contestants to the center." a voice announced and Jackson patted his shoulder.


"I gotta go now. See that green seat near the ring? You should be there."
"Green isn't even my color."
"Well excuse me princess." Jin smacked his head for using this  nickname.
"Just go."




"First contestant is Jackson Wang or as we call him the spider!"
The man in the middle of the ring announced through his mic and Jin chuckled at the nickname them clapped a bit along with the enthusiastic crowd,  while Jackson stepped into the ring.
"Second is our favorite by far. The one and only Jeon Jungkook!"
Everyone cheered louder for The second while Jin was about to scream. Jungkook...it was really him. Except taller,  more mature and bulkier than ever. Last time Jin saw him he had only a small tattoo on his wrist but now he had new ones on both arms,  back and on his side.
Jackson is dead. Jin could already predict it. 


Jin heart was jumping back and forth everytime Jk would throw a punch or kick. The intensity of the hit would send shivers down his spine.
He was a savage especially in hand to hand combat. and now he's more dangerous.


Jackson wasn't weak by any means. He was able to keep up with Jk but it wasn't enough.
When he fell down with blood from his bruised lips,  Jin gasped.


"Stop the match!" he said aloud but the man next to him laughed.
"Good joke! Do you even know who Jungkook is? He won't be satisfied until your little friend's blood is all over the ring."


Jk rose his fist in the air ready to bash Jackson's face but suddenly stopped and pulled back.  The referee announced his win shortly after counting to three. 


What people didn't notice is that Jungkook stopped himself from completely crashing his opponent because he saw Jin and he immediately recognized the pleading look in his doe eyes.


"The match isn't over yet!" Jungkook announced and everyone stopped cheering.
"Bring him over." he said pointing at Jin who froze on spot.
Jk wanted to beat him now?
He can kiss his pretty face goodbye.
Depite his disapproval,  Jin found himself in the ring.


"I told you you'll regret it." Jungkook half growled while cracking his knuckles. Before he could register it Jk grabbed his neck and pressed a spot firmly which made him super dizzy,  he ended up unconscious.

"You finally woke up." Jungkook said before taking another drag of his cigarette while starring at Jin whom was laying on an old looking bed.
"..."
"What? You have nothing to say after five years?"
"....Hy kookie."
He sighed and dropped his weight next to Jin.
