Started with "I Do"

19

Jeongin shrugged his shoulder helplessly and said "I also don't know about it. When I tried to ask Chan more about it, he just said that it was not his place to talk about it and now he just avoids the topic completely." After that all four of them sat there silently in their own thought till the waiter came to pick up their empty glasses.

Jisung tried to call Minho after he returned back home only to learn that Minho had switched off his phone. After hearing what Jeongin said this evening he started to become even more worried about Minho but there was nothing he knew of. So, all he could do at that moment was to just worry and wait for Minho to feel comfortable enough to share everything with him.

It was already the fourth day since Minho had went to his parent's house with his phone switched off. Jisung feeling a little too restless asked Chan if he knew anything about why his phone was switched off. Sadly, Chan could only shake his head while saying he didn't know as they had not been in contact ever since Minho left for his parents house. 

In the end both Chan and Jisung was too worried about Minho so Chan sent Jisung Minho's mothers number and texted him saying 'I think it would be more appropriate if you called his mother to ask about his well being rather than me. Best of luck.' Jisung looked at the number Chan sent and remained in dilemma for a long time whether to call or not. In the end he decided not to as he thought that Minho wouldn't like him prying into his privacy.

In a rare spur of the moment he called his mother instead. This was the first time since he got married to Minho that he took the initiative to call his parents. Otherwise, it was always his mother who called him sometimes to ask about his well being. He felt a little guilty and was about to end the call when from the other side his mother spoke clearly in a worried voice "Hello. Jisung, is that you? Are you alright?" 

Jisung was dazed for a while suddenly hearing his mother's voice then after recovering he replied to her "I am alright mother." His mother sighed then said "Thank god. I thought something happened to you since you never call unless something is up." Jisung guiltily smiled and said "Sorry for worrying you and not calling you guys often." The other side of the phone was silent for a while clearly his mother wasn't expecting him to reply like this.

After a while she again replied "I know you are busy. It's alright. Is everything really alright?" Jisung chuckled and said "Mom everything is really alright. I just called you because I wanted to hear your voice. Did I scare you that much?" His mom also chuckled and said in a teasing voice "To be honest a bit. So, how is everything going on. Are you giving a difficult time to Minho with your clumsiness?"

Jisung felt aggrieved so he complained "Moommm. I admit that I am clumsy but not as much as you. Dad can handle your level of clumsiness so why do you think my clumsiness can't be handled?" His mother still continued teasing him by saying "Well that's because your dad loves me." Jisung rolled his eyes while saying "Yeah, Yeah. Sure. Bye I am hanging up." 

His mother laughed and said "Okay, Okay. No more teasing you. But seriously how are you these days." Jisung picked at his finger while saying "I am doing really good. You don't need to worry about me. Minho is really easy to get along with. Even though we sometimes disagree with each other but he still treats me really good."

His mother said in a relieved voice "That's good then. I was wondering if I made a mistake by forcing you into marriage. Since he treats you so good, you should also treat him nicely." Jisung hmmed and after a bit of pondering said "Mom I also wish to be good to him but I don't know how to. It's like he knows everything about me so he is always there when I am having a hard time but I don't know anything about him so I don't even know if he is having a difficult time or not."

His Mom stayed silent for a while and then said "Is this about Minho suddenly returning home?" Jisung shocked asked while still in a trance "H...how do you know about it?" His mom laughed at the silly reaction of her son and said "Jisung did you forget that his mom and I are literally close friends." Jisung just ohhhed and after a while admitted to it by saying "I am just worried about him but he seems to be avoiding me and the his other friends."
