troubles

It was Wednesday and it was supposed to be a happy exciting day for Jungkook and it would have been if it was any other situation, but he knew better that somehow he grew a phobia of Jimin’s house; the way Taecyeon manhandled him was infuriating and scary

Jimin was over the moon happy that finally he would have Jungkook to himself without anyone's interruption; Minah promised him that she would go to her friend’s house and leave the house for him and Jungkook, Jungkook’s mother had no idea about the arrangement and for that both Jimin and Jungkook were glad

“So are you excited for tonight?” asked Jimin meaningfully looking like a pervert ahjusshi

“Yeah of course; I got my new ripped jeans, newly bought panty and I took shower three times” answered Jungkook sarcastically

“You know what I mean, beside yesterday you looked so down that I got Minah to promise me that that asshole Taecyeon won’t be anywhere near the property” said Jimin

“He won’t be here? I mean like if I’m spending the night won’t she want to be with someone; she hates being alone” said Jungkook panicking when he knew that his reply was a little bit shaky

“I told you she is spending the night with a friend” reminded Jimin

“Ah, yeah right” said Jungkook resting his head on the car’s window

“Are you sure nothing happened between you two?” asked Jimin

“I told you don’t worry about it” said Jungkook

“what is this IT exactly?” asked Jimin

“Nothing you need to dramatize things for” replied Jungkook

“For you, I’ll dramatize anything” assured Jimin hoping that Jungkook would open up to him more

“And the cheesy Jimin is back! Now I’m going to go and make myself look beautiful and ready for you so give me the keys” said Jungkook hopping off the car after taking the keys from the stunned Jimin then he sprinted to the house before Jimin could corner him more about Taecyeon

“That little brat” murmured Jimin getting off the car, he went to the backseat door and took Jungkook’s bag that he was supposed to use to look beautiful and ready for him, when he was about to reach the door he heard a car’s honking and Minah’s car parked next to his

“What the hell? You said you’re leaving us for tonight?” cried Jimin at her

“I am I am; I just had to buy some stuff and get Taecyeon form here” said Minah

“He is here? In the house now?” said Jimin but he didn’t wait for her reply, his heart was beating so fast and he just felt sick

Meanwhile inside the house

“the horny bastard” said Jungkook under his breath; he debated between sitting in the living room or going to Jimin’s room; he had been in it before _with the door open (Minah and his mom’s rule)_ and it was a very interesting room, it had T.V, video games and it was big and cozy. He decided to go upstairs to his boyfriend’s room upstairs; it was only four steps stairs  to get there. Upstairs there was a long corridor that had the boys’ rooms, his mother’s room and the guest room all situated respectively on the left side and on the right side were two bathroom; one was for his mother and the other naturally was for the boys

He didn’t have the chance to open Jimin’s room which was at the end of the corridor, when he heard footsteps behind him; he assumed that it was Jimin so he pretended not to hear him

“Hello there cutie” said Taecyeon and Jungkook’s heart dropped, he didn’t turn, he just stood in front of Jimin’s room unmoved

“So I heard that you didn’t tell Jiminie about our encounter at the kitchen; was it because you wanted it to be our dirty little secret?” whispered Taecyeon and Jungkook could feel his breath on his neck

“Stay away from me” said Jungkook with a small voice; he didn’t know why but Taecyeon intimidated him, Jungkook wasn’t a coward or weak person and if he wanted he could take someone like him but, he just felt incapable around him    

“You don’t look so convincing right now” said Taecyeon whispering while pressing Jungkook on the door with his whole body; Jungkook’s back was against Taecyeon sturdy front and he felt disgusted

“Stay the **** away from him asshole” yelled Jimin charging at Taecyeon like a mad angry hulk

“It’s not what it looks like, I swear” said Taecyeon looking flustered that he was caught by Jimin who didn’t spare him the time kneeing him on the stomach, Taecyeon fell but he soon was on his feet and charging back at Jimin; they brawled pushing each other and punching, some missed and some managed to land ugly mark on their faces

“How dare you even come close to him” panted Jimin wiping the blood on his busted lip

“You knew me since high school Jiminie; it is him not me” said Taecyeon pushing Jimin close to the stairs

“I knew you then, I know him now” said Jimin with fiery eyes

Jungkook was glued at his place; he didn’t move, he didn’t react, he didn’t make a sound, he just watched them fighting till he heard Minah’s cry booming the house that he snapped back to reality; they were no longer in the corridor, jungkook ran to find Taecyeon on top of Jimin which looked like they fell rolling down from the stairs with Taecyeon landing on Jimin

“Stay away from him” yelled Jungkook pushing Minah who was trying to break them, he hugged Taecyeon from the torso and yanked him from Jimin, and then he kneeled to see how his boyfriend was

“Jiminie! I am so sorry; it is my fault” said Jungkook distraught; he helped Jimin up hugging him tightly

“It is never your fault; I can’t believe you would do this to me hyung” said Jimin panting

Before even Taecyeon had the chance to reply, there was police and ambulance’s siren on the background

“I called them” said Minah her eyes red from crying

“How could you?” snarled Taecyeon walking to her

“How dare you touch them? I was stupid to believe your bullshit” said Minah back holding her ground and the police were in before Taecyeon reached her; the door was already opened and everyone in the neighborhood knew and loved the Park’s family were already hurrying to the house, Mr. Park lived just nearby the police station because he always said that he wanted to be close to them and also so help could be near them if he was unavailable 

Taecyeon was taken and when one of Jimin’s father’s friends was taking to Jimin to the ambulance

“No! I’m fine” said Jimin still holding to Jungkook tightly

“Jiminie we have to be sure; let’s just do a quick checkup; your mom will kill me if I didn’t” said an elderly man that looked around Jungkook’s father; it was a simple case for him to be there but since the call came from the Parks’ he had to come himself

“Listen to him; I want to be sure too” whispered Jungkook kissing Jimin’s temple

“Fine, but easy on my foot because I might have lied when I said I was fine” said Jimin limping to the door

“get the paramedics; I don’t want him walking a step” said the same man to one of his subordinate with an authoritative voice

“And you stay still” added when he saw Jimin still planning to walk

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

“Sweetie!!! Are you ok?” said Jungkook’s mother running from the hospital’s hall to her seated son taking him to her embrace and checking if he was hurt

“I’m fine; nothing happened to me, it is Jimin” said Jungkook calmly; he called her when the police asked him to give his statement but he needed to have a parent present; the elderly man let him go with Jimin but he asked him to call his parents to finish his statement in the hospital

“What happened?” asked his father looking more collected than his wife

“I think it is best if he said what happened just once; Sujon will come to take his statement; you can be there with him” said the elderly police officer that Jungkook came to like a lot

“Sure,” said Jungkook’s mother

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

“So could you tell us what happened before the police arrived?” asked Sujon holding a folder and pen

“Jimin was getting my bag but I took the house’s key from him and preceded him there and when I got to his room’s door Taecyeon came and started saying things to me” started Jungkook with a cold and emotionless voice that scared his parents; he must have been more traumatized that he let on

“I thought you said you needed the key to enter the house, why Taecyeon was there then? And what did he tell you” interrupted Sujon still with her formal and professional tone that irritated Jungkook and made him feel like a criminal rather than the victim

“We didn’t know that he was there; the house was supposed to be empty” said Jungkook looking down in shame when he looked at his parents; he just admitted to his mother that he was planning to be alone with Jimin but his mother was worried about her son to care about that

“He was flirting with me and force himself on to me” said Jungkook lowly but everyone heard him; Jungkook’s father fisted the wall and his mom gasped and tears that she was holding fell off her eyes

“Jimine came running to me then they started fighting till they ended up downstairs; I yanked him off Jimin then the police came” finished Jungkook and his composure was shaken by remembering what happened

“Thanks a lot, could you sign here” said Sujon handing him the pen, he scrabbled on the paper and handed her the pen back

“Where is he now that boy?” asked his father

“He is in custody; we are waiting for his parents to come and the chief made it clear not to release him with a fine” said Sujon

“Good” said Jungkook’s father but he didn’t look that satisfy

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

“I’m telling you for the hundred times I’m fine mom!” whined Jimin while holding Minah’s phone with one hand and a crutch with the other to support his sprain foot, Minah walked next to him carefully ready to give him assistance if needed

“Jiminie!!!” cried Jungkook running to Jimin who just told his mother a quick goodbye and passed the phone to Minah

“Hey; I’m fine. It is you who I’m worried about” said Jimin chuckling when Jungkook tightened his hug

“Idiot you’re the one coming out from the ER room” said Jungkook and Jimin made sure to have a thorough look at his boyfriend’s physical appearance to see if Taecyeon left any damage aside from the mentally one that he knew he had to work hard to help him through it

“But that asshole attacked you, are you sure you’re ok” said Jimin worriedly but Jungkook just pecked his cheek quickly to shut his freaked out boyfriend who just looked dazed by the sudden bold move especially his parents were just around

“Jimin! Thank you so much for what you did to my Jungkookie, I won’t never forget it” said Jungkook’s mom giving him his second bone crushing hug that made him wince in pain

“Oh I’m sorry” said Jungkook’s mom retreating fearing that she might have done something she shouldn’t, given the fact he just got out of the ER room

“It’s fine; I just have a sprain foot and some aching in my back and arms but nothing that medicines can’t heal” assured Jimin sitting on the waiting room chair because he started feeling pain from standing up long

“It’s my fault; I should have told you earlier” said Jungkook sitting next to him looking pale and distraught and that was the last thing that Jimin wished

“No! I should have done something about it sooner; I can’t believe I didn’t see through his act” disagreed Jimin and when Minah was about to speak and take the blame

“It is his fault and his fault only; none to blame here. It is not wrong to trust people you know and believe in the good of people it is them betraying that trust what it is wrong” said Jungkook’s father seriously and they just nodded, but Minah was still feeling bad

“Anyway I am really grateful that Jungkook has you in his life” said Jungkook’s mother

“I am the lucky one” assured Jimin smiling at Jungkook who just had his head dropped down in shame; no matter what they said, he felt it was his fault

“I need to get Jimin’s medicines” said Minah

“I want to go with him” declared Jungkook looking with pleading eyes to his parents

“I don’t think it is good idea Jungkookie; he needs to rest” said Jungkook’s mother

“It is fine; my mom and although I told her I’m fine she will be here at dawn” said Jimin

“It’s not about having no supervision; I want you to take care of your injuries” said Jungkook’s mother flustered that Jimin was calling her on not trusting him with her son

“I will take both of them; I got my car here; we’ll buy the medicines and order takeout; it is already 22:00 anyway” cut in Minah     

“It is settled” said Jungkook’s father finally

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

They were settling in the living room; Jungkook snuggling to Jimin like his life depended on it and Jimin wasn’t complaining but he knew that that wasn’t his Jungkook’s nature and it was just some post trauma thing from what happened but he let it slide to worry about it later

Minah worked like their personal slave; making sure they ate and didn’t need anything, they knew she felt guilty and surprisingly enough they weren’t mad at her. She told them that she was willing to spend the night at her friend’s like she promised before but they both asked her to stay

“Are we spending the night here or you want to be in your room” asked Minah when she was back with a bowl of popcorn when the boys were watching a movie

“I’d like to be in my bed but those four steps looked like millions in my state right now” replied Jimin

“I’ll carry you” offered Jungkook removing himself from Jimin’s embrace

“No, it’s ok; let’s just all sleep here” said Jimin

“No really; I’m fine; or you’re questioning my strength” asked Jungkook raising his eyebrows

“I’m pretty sure you’re strong enough Kookie but I don’t want you…” started Jimin

“No buts, I’m carrying you end of the story” said Jungkook firmly

“Fine but be aware I gained some weight” warned Jimin

“I did too, and you’re fine, if anything you actually lost weight since first I saw you” said Jungkook

They resumed watching the movie in thoughtful silence; no one of them brought up the incident or its consequences because no one knew the right thing to say

“Oh my God; I feel so special” said Jimin dramatically while Jungkook had him on his embrace like he was a feather

“Well wifey I’m never letting you suffer anymore” played Jungkook along with his silly boyfriend

“Well I’ve never said that I’m the wife in the relationship” said Jimin while Jungkook insisted that he carried him till his room and not just the stairs

“Well given the situation you’re in; I’d say you are” teased Jungkook

“Well honey I just saved you from the bad guy so I’d say we’re even” contradicted Jimin and he felt Jungkook tensed at the mention of the pervious incident

“Guys! Don’t you think these types of conversations should be done when I am not around” butt in Minah just in time walking behind them

“Well you’re always around” whined Jimin forgetting for a moment that his noona was lurking in their beautiful moment

“Way to make a girl feels special” scoffed Minah “Hey are you going to take a bath or not” added Minah

“Yeah; Kookie will help me” said Jimin while Kookie was putting him on the bed carefully

Jungkook glared at him a little pink blush dusted his cheeks but he was thankful that Minah was behind them so she couldn’t see

“Or you want me to ask her; you know I don’t have a problem,, she is like a big sister to me” added Jimin whispering to Jungkook’s ear

“I will do it” yelled Jungkook turning quickly to Minah who was puzzled by the sudden statement

“Fine! I will go talk to your mom and see if she took the plan or not” said Minah leaving them both out

“You know what I am thinking?” asked Jimin while Jungkook was showing him clothes from his closet to choose from

“I’m sure nothing Disney rated” said Jungkook giving his back to Jimin to the closet while grabbing one of his boxers from the drawer at the bottom of the closet   

“That is a given; but I think karma doesn’t want us to have sex together; it is like whenever we planed something, we had our plans crushed and burned” said Jimin seriously and Jungkook just laughed returning to show Jimin the selection of boxers he wanted

“Well given the fact that we broke hearts left and right in university I think we deserve to be punished… now tell me which one you want?” said Jungkook monotone scared that his panic would show from holding Jimin’s boxers so causally

“Choose what you would like to see on me” said Jimin teasingly

“I don’t want to” said Jungkook looking at him or rather glaring at him for putting him at that position; when something intimate was involved, Jungkook knew that he would become like his high school days

“So commando it is” announced Jimin

“Damn you;” sighed Jungkook picking one randomly but intentionally; he just love black on Jimin

“Was that so hard? Now you can just get me the white tank top and we’re done” said Jimin

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Jungkook managed to seat Jimin on the bathroom chair under the shower and when the moment of truth came Jungkook was nervous as hell

“You can leave after getting my jeans and shirt off” consoled Jimin the freaked out boyfriend; he looked so cute when his fingers were abusing the hem of his shirt

“I I am fine” stuttered Jungkook

“I’m not fine with my boyfriend seeing me ***** and weak at the same time” said Jimin; he knew that Jungkook was pushing himself and he wasn’t ready for that scene just yet, and all that act was for the guilt he was feeling toward him about the whole incident thing

“Fine, but call me if you need anything” said Jungkook helping him with the shirt and the jeans; if Jimin thought he was doing Jungkook a favor by sparing him the look of his chiseled body he was dead wrong, because Jimin with just his red boxers was so erotic that Jungkook held his breath and hastened out of the bathroom

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_

“Kookie I’m done, could you get me my bathrobe, it is on the coat hanger” cried Jimin from the bathroom; Jungkook left Jimin’s room sprinting afraid that his boyfriend might catch cold if he stood there long

“Here” said Jungkook allowing only his hand inside the bathroom

“You know I’m going to need your assistance right; I am still seated on the chair” retorted Jimin

“Hum… right..” said Jungkook slipping into the bathroom eyes closed and hands holding the bathrobe down for Jimine to take

“You look so cute right now” chuckled Jimin but he was as red as his boyfriend but he had the advantage that Junhgkook didn’t know because his eyes were closed and for the fact he could always blame it on the hot shower for getting his cheeks red

“Shut up” said Jungkook opening one eye to find Jimin sitting waiting for him; he grabbed Jimin bridal style and walked out of the bathroom to his Jimin’s bedroom

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

“Are you sure you don’t need anything?” asked Jungkook and Minah for the millions times

Both of them took a quick bath, Minah wasn't planning on sleeping with them but they both were adamant on keeping her with them

“Guys!!!! I said I’m fine now switch off the light and lets us sleep” sighed Jimin patting the empty spot for Jungkook to join him, Jungkook was wearing one of the red shorts that Tae offered them to him and a plain white shirt

“Ok; but if the pain was too much ask me or Jungkook to get you the medicine, right?” said Minah sliding into her bed

“Goodnight noona” said Jungkook truly acknowledging her for the first time; he saw how panicked, ashamed and bad she felt that it wasn’t right to hold grudges against her   

“Goodnight Jungkook, you too Jiminie” said Minah yawning; she had the talent to fall asleep easily which was a good thing for the boys

“I can’t believe we are on the same bed yet we can’t do anything productive about it” whispered Jimin facing Jungkook who insisted that Jimin was on the wall side so he wouldn’t fall

“I know” mumbled Jungkook thinking of millions things they could have been doing if that Taecyeon didn’t decided to ruin them

“I’m sorry; he was shamelessly flirting with me the other day but I didn’t tell you; I thought it was a onetime thing and since I showed him that I wasn’t interested, he wouldn’t bother me again” whispered Jungkook looking guilty but Jimin put his hand on his cheek caressing it

“Don’t say that; I can only imagine how you must have felt then and feel right now. You know you can talk to me about it if you wanted” said Jimin his hand still on Jungkook’s cheek, Jungkook grabbed it and started kissing it gently making his way to the wrist forgetting that it was a dangerous zone for Jimin

“Kookie _” whimpered Jimin causing Jungkook to let go of his hand

“Sorry, I forget” apologized Jungkook red as a tomato

“It’s cool; it felt nice actually” admitted Jimin

“Actually that helps a lot; feeling you, just touching you or being with you makes me feel secured; I felt disgusted when he was near me” confessed Jungkook and Jimin soon after that pulled him to bone crushing hug

“What about now?” asked Jimin his head on top of Jungkook’s head

“Nice but it’s hot; I sweat easily” said Jungkook trying to loosen the hug so he was having his arms around Jimin’s waist. Jimin quickly moved closer having his head on Jungkook’s chest

“I don’t mind; I want you closer to me” said Jimin

“I love you” said Jungkook suddenly getting Jimin’s head to shoot up to look at him to see if something was wrong with him but Jungkook was smiling and even in that deem light he could see it

“You too” said Jimin

“No, say it, I want to hear you saying it” said Jungkook weakly and Jimin adjusted himself so both his hands on both Jungkook’s side and his face just inches away from him; he knew Jungkook wasn’t mentally stable at that moment and he need assurance about much anything regarding their love and relationship

“I love you, I love you, I love, I love you” singsong Jimin gently till he was shut up by Jungkook’s lips; no tongues were involved because both of them weren’t planning for that kissed to go any further than admiration and conveying their love and yearning for each other
