working on yourself and working things out

Kim Soekjin was good at his job, he was actually the best at it; he always managed to get through his patients, and like Hoseok once said, he would make you cry your feelings

All that fell in the drain; there he was talking to Jungkook trying to get him to talk to him but he was failing big time; Jungkook was a tough nut to crack but he was Kim Seokjin after all, and no one would dare think he could make him back down and Jungkook was no different

Jin tried to get Jungkook to talk but that boy was skilled at dodging what he didn’t feel comfortable talking about, therefore Jin took another approach; if he couldn’t make Jungkook cried his feelings, he would try to get another reaction from him

He kept things casual as if he wasn’t really treating him as a patient and Jungkook after an hour talking to Jin managed to get over the fact that he was dealing with a shrink but rather a friend who was consoling him

“I’m telling you Jimin messed up this time; you’ve every right to be mad, I mean how dare he go to that extent for Yoongi; the tattoo was an over the top thing” said Jin; he was sitting on the nurse’s desk while taking her shift because she had a date

“Right” murmured Jungkook feeling uneasy about the fact that Jin was agreeing with him; somehow hearing his thoughts out loud from another person sounded weird and illogical but he ignored the thought

“I mean; maybe you should give up on this relationship” said Jin recklessly

“What the hell? Why would you say that? You know how much we love each other, I thought you care for me” said Jungkook shocked

“Well as for now I’m being your shrink; I’m telling you my unbiased thought about this” said Jin calmly

“Still, how would you even as my shrink think that us isn’t the right relationship? You’re not actually agreeing with them when they said Yoongi was better?” said Jungkook

“Well, it is much easier; Yoongi understands him better and Jimin let him in his heart and experienced things with him that no one did” said Jin

“Hell no; I was there for him even when they were dating; he let me see all his states; weak, in pain and happy, I was there and he was there for me; he said it himself that I was his first in a lot of things” said Jungkook breathing heavily; he wasn’t expecting Jin to just give up on believing on him and Jimin; he thought that he would scold him for what he did but the opposite happened and he didn’t feel happy about it

“So you’re saying that when a bunch of strangers said that you’re not a perfect couple you believed them but when I _a friend and someone who is not a stranger and know you both_ said the same thing you snapped at me and even contradicted it” stated Jin smiling triumphal all over his face; he got where he wanted

“er… I just” said Jungkook once again shocked; that Jin wasn’t an easy man

“Look you’ve been mentioning Jimin in every subject that we talked about the past hour; I even said something about autopsy and you managed to squeeze in Jimin there by saying that he hated seeing blood and organs in that raw condition” said Jin walking from his desk to sit in front of Jungkook on the chair

“I can’t help it sometimes” admitted Jungkook lowering his head

“I understand that but just keep in mind that even if you’re not his first love like he is to you, he still is your love and he managed to let you in his heart in ways he didn’t before; you said it yourself, you’ve a lot of first with him” said Jin resting his hand on Jungkook knee comforting him

“And try to keep that mindset whenever you’re having doubts; all the things that you told me when you were defending your relationship, say them to yourself even out loud if you have to” added Jin

“Thanks!! Just one thing; he was right about everything he said about me? My past I mean” said Jungkook weakly

“That’s for you to decide” said Jin simply

Jungkook left the university’s infirmary with a lot to process; he knew he was a bit hard on Jimin but he was so jealous that Yoongi was someone that Jimin loved before him and he was devoted to him; he couldn’t fathom the thought of someone was once an important part of his boyfriend’s life

He sighed deeply grabbing his phone; he had decided the right move he needed to do then

Kookie: Noona can we meet?…………. Please

Yura: I’m in my dorm’s room

Kookie: be there in a sec

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

Jin watched from his window Jungkook heading out of the building to a place he couldn’t tell but he was so sure that there was no way he was heading to see Jimin; not after that heated argument that they had earlier, he knew it was the stubborn Jungkook after all and that brat wouldn’t just have a sudden awakening about the whole mess he created by his jalousie

So there he was picking the infirmary’s landline calling the other part of that dilemma; he was doing that all because of Tae, he liked that dongsaeng and he couldn’t see him blaming himself whenever anything bad went between the youngest couple

“Hello Bangtan headquarter, can I help you?” said a cheerful voice; Jin was amazed that the Bangtan actually had their own numbers on the university’s phonebook  

“Hello, I’m Kim Soekjin” said Jin

“Oh hello Kim Soekjin, what can I do for you?” asked the boy still with that cheerful voice

“Can I talk to Park Jimin, please?” said Jin

“Oh, Jimin sunbae? Yeah; he had just arrived, wait a sec” said the boy and Jin could hear the boy calling for Jimin he must be just nearby

“Jimin sunbae” cried the boy; he was in the conference room; the room was vast with rounded table and chairs surrounding it, but the place where the phone was situated was far at the end of the room

“Yeah Hoshi” said Jimin

“There is a Kim Soekjin asking for you” said Hoshi waving the phone

“Kim Soekjin?” said Jimin while walking away from the gathered crews

“Hello? Park Jimin talking” said Jimin formally

“Oh hi Jimin” said Jin chuckling; he knew that he didn’t know him by his full name

“Oh Jin hyung!!!” said Jimin happily

“I need to talk to you” said Jin seriously

“Sorry hyung; but all the bangtan crews are having a meeting right now and I can’t just skip it” said Jimin apologetically

“No it is cool, I can come there and wait for you just give me the address” said Jin

“Are you sure? We might take some time” said Jimin warily

“Yeah sure; it is kind of important” said Jin

“Is something wrong? Did something happen to Kookie?” asked Jimin alarmed; why would Jin insist that much to talk to him if it wasn’t serious

“No!!! just give me the address” said Jin assuring

“Cool, write it down” said Jimin a little bit relaxed but he still felt uneasy

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

Jin knew he was bluffing but he didn’t care; he could have waited till later that night or tomorrow and met Jimin but the fact that Jimin was in the headquarter made Jin’s curiosity perked at the fact that someone would be there too; someone who managed to get on his nerves and threatened his composure, so going there was his way of saying the things he planned to tell that impolite rapper that offended him on every level

He stopped at the door and rang the bell examining how big and fancy the place was; he wondered how the Bangtan managed to have a place like that

“Who is it?” asked a voice through the house’s interphone

“I came for Park Jimin” said Jin as Jimin told him to say

“Oh! Yeah, welcome” said the voice gentler than before and opened the door automatically for him

Jin walked in and he was stunned; he just assumed that the place would be like a warehouse, dirty and unorganized but he was speechless at what laid before he eyes; the living room that was so big and multitasks; there was place for people who watched T.V, others who played video games, Billiard table on the corner and a lot of others activities and sections, he walked past some young boys who looked like they were part of the Bangtan; everyone just looked at him amused by his facial’s reaction or some even were the ones stunned by his clean cut look

He stood there in the middle of the room awkwardly having no idea where he should sit, and not because there wasn’t an empty place, chairs or sofa for that but he just felt out of place

He walked instinctively toward some painting that were hanging on the walls in the corridor that led to the headquarter’ rooms; they were graffiti of sort that represented the hip-hop community

“You’re not allow in this part of the headquarter” said a deep voice that made Jin jerked away startled

“Oh I’m sorry… I just …..oh it’s just you” started Jin scared but he soon recovered when he saw the owner of the voice

“What that supposed to mean ‘it’s just you’?” said Namjoon grumpily and if Jin knew him well he would think that he was whining

“What it is supposed to mean” said Jin curtly

“So what are you doing here? Did you manage to scam one of the Bangtan in helping them with their problems?” scoffed Namjoon facing Jin trying to look intimidating but it was like Jin could see right through him, it was actually the other way around

“Still on it, huh? Well I’m here to see someone” said Jin unaffected

“Who?” asked Namjoon sounded a little upset

“Not you that’s for sure” said Jin and Namjoon thought that Jin was really testing his patient

“Hyung! I’m sorry I’m late; did you wait long?” said Jimin who walked out of one of the room in the corridor

 “No it’s fine; I just got here” said Jin changing his tone completely to a soft one and even ruffling Jimin’s hair who tried to stop him; Namjoon felt offended by the attitude he received from Jin, he was the famous rapper Namjoon and everyone admired and loved him

“Did hyung bother you?” asked Jimin glaring at Namjoon

“Oh no! how could he? He is too weak to have an effect on a fake quack; is not that what you called me?” said Jin recklessly and Namjoon was losing it

“Well excuse me if I have a job and working on a diplomat on something that is not on your level” sneered Namjoon

“Hyung!”  said Jimin loudly

“Don’t mind him Jiminie; people like him tend to have self importance when they feel threatened” calmed Jin Jimin who wasn’t supposed to be the one offended

“Yeah, at least I’m important and don’t have a fake job where I charged people for just talking about themselves and scrabbles some nonsensical shit on my notebook thinking that I’m actually legit and doing something” said Namjoon and Jimin was about to say something but

“And then you went to offending me so you would get a reaction from me, no dice sunshine; you’re still not on the level of the quack” chuckled Jin and Jimin was speechless

“did you just call me…” started Namjoon with red eyes; he was behaving like he intended for Jin to behave

“Jin hyung I thought you’re here to talk to me” cut in Jimin before more damage could happen

“Yeah, important things first; let’s go to more quite place” said Jin clapping his hands together and acting like Namjoon wasn’t even there

Jimin dragged Jin away from Namjoon to the karaoke spot in the living room; no one used it at that time of the day, he sat on the chair putting his phone on the table and Jin soon followed

“So what’s my share of scolding today?” said Jimin

“So you know that you fuckup again? I thought I told you how Jungkook functions” said Jin

“Well I’m human with emotions too and if he ignored mine and expecting me to just pay attention to his, I don’t think I can play the mature one in the relationship” said Jimin holding his head; that was what talking about the issue caused him, plus he had to attend that long *** meeting about everything they needed to take care of from dance to the fashion of the FaceOff event

“Look I will put it simply: was Jungkook your first love?” asked Jin and Jimin shook his head negatively

“You are his, just imagine how that feels like: everything he feels and experiences about you is so intense and powerful; he doesn’t have a reference on how he should behave or react to it; he is acting based on his instinct, even if his is a little crappy but still. All he could see now someone who you used to love but he is still in your life; he can’t quite grasp how you would love him when someone you once loved is still around; it is complicated, the tattoo just triggered his fears” explained Jin

“So what am I suppose to do with the tattoo? Burn it?” asked Jimin frustrated

“Yes” said a raspy sleepy voice that came out of the couch that its back was facing the two boys so there was no way they could tell who was there

“Yoongi hyung!” said Jimin startled; he cursed himself for not checking the couch because Yoongi used it when he wanted to sleep quietly   

“These days it is so hard to sleep in here, now why are you whining like a little kid?” said Yoongi sitting on the chair next to them lazily

“Sorry to wake you” said Jimin lowly

“That’s aside from the point, now tell me?” said Yoongi ignoring him

“He knows about the tattoo” said Jimin

“That’s it? Well remove it” said Yoongi simply and even baffled by how ridiculous that drama was about

“I can’t just do that!!! It is a meaningful one and beside how can I just…” said Jimin worked up

“Listen dummy; he is your man now, you love him, your loyalty lays with him first…” started Yoongi hating the fact that he was about to use long sentences to explain to the oblivious dongsaeng

“That’s not true!!! I love the Bangtan and I will always be loyal and…” protested Jimin

“Shut up; I’m talking; now listen carefully because I am not Jin hyung; I will say this shit just once” yelled Yoongi and Jimin put him head down

“I know that you love your friends and will always be there for them me included; leave it that way, leave me just like them. I am no longer your special one, it is ok if you put Jungkook over me” said Yoongi glaring in the middle of his speech because he saw that Jimin was itching to talk

“I know friendship is important but having someone that loves you comes with responsibility; if it is ok to place a date with Jungkook over a casual meeting with Hoseok, do that for me too, even if I am your favorite hyung; I am your ex too” said Yoongi

“So you’re saying I should apologize” said Jimin

“Oh my God!!! Please Jin shi talk to him” sighed Yoongi

“Call me Jin, and YOU what Yoongi is trying to say is: show Jungkook that you’re willing to do something for him only and in front of Yoongi if you have to; he needs assurance, he can’t help it” said Jin smiling

“Listen to him, he is wise” said Yoongi

“You’re not bad yourself” said Jin smiling

“Thanks; did Jimin offer you anything to drink?” asked Yoongi

“No actually” said Jin

“Jimin!!! Where are your manners?” scolded Yoongi and Jimin pouted

The three men headed to the kitchen

“You two are really perfect in these type of matters; you make a perfect team” said Jimin while entering the kitchen followed by Jin and Yoongi

“Yeah; Jin here is cool, I think I would even marry him” said Yoongi lightly

“Yeah; you would make a perfect husband and father” said Jin playfully

“Let’s have Namjoon here rap in our wedding” added Yoongi while sitting in the stool

“Let’s forgo that, I want a happy less stressed wedding” disagreed Jin

“Why? Did Namjoonie bother my future husband?” said Yoongi playfully

“Never thought coming to the headquarter would be this aggravating” huffed Namjoon leaving the kitchen to the happy boys who just laughed at his attitude

Jimin also had a lot to process after his talk with Jin and Yoongi; he knew that Jungkook had his reasons, even he didn’t know how to console his dears sometimes

He sighed after Jin left leaving him with his thoughts

“Hi mom!!!! How is my favorite person in the world?” cried Jimin cheerfully and gleefully

“What do you want? Or better yet how much?” asked Misoo shortly

“Why? Can’t I  just call my mother because I missed her” pouted Jimin

“You called me yesterday; that’s so unlike you to call me two days in row” said Misoo unaffected by his complain

“Well, I kind need your help” admitted Jimin

“Ok, shoot” said Misoo

“Here is the deal….” Started Jimin
