“ Devil's tears doesn't always mean
he's weak,
Sometimes it's because the Devil has found his own gurdian angel who'll hide him in his wings, no matter what. ”

Third Person's POV

“ Do-don't lea-leave me... pl-please...”
Jungkook said pressing his eyes shut and hiding in Jimin's chest as the younger kept hugging him and held him .

" I'll never . I'm here..and I'll always be here for you. " Jimin said trying to silent his own tears while continuously rubbing Jungkook's back .

" Calm down please... you're okay.. everything is okay.. " Jimin said carresing the older's long raven locks and pressed his lips on Jungkook's head . The broken sight of his dearest person was hurting Jimin a lot that he felt the pain in his own heart. He just couldn't see Jungkook in this state. He just wanted his lover to be okay at any cost.

After some time Jungkook's rapid heartbeats calmed down and his uneven breaths got normal. He still had his arms wrapped around Jimin stronger than ever.

" everything is okay... you're okay. See I'm here and I'll always be here. " Jimin said rubbing his hand on Jungkook's back more tenderly while the older only pressed his face more on Jimin's crook of neck.

The smoke was almost faded away but the smell of burnt things was filling Jimin's nostrils, making it hard for him to breathe and talk with Jungkook.

" See.. look up.. Jungkookie..look up at me.. I'm here. You're okay..." Jimin said trying to make Jungkook look up at him but the older won't budge.

Jimin tried to calm himself down and held back his tears. He knew he needs to be strong right now. He pulled Jungkook closer and caressed his back, rubbed his fingers softly on the older's nape Before carresing his hair.

" Trust me. I won't leave.. never ever."
Jimin said softly beside Jungkook's ear and the taller's tense muscles relaxed around Jimin's waist.

" Y-you won't right...? " Jungkook's sudden almost inaudible voice broke Jimin's heart. More like those words made Jimin's heart tear apart. How vulnerable those words were..... the person who's a monster to the world, so called heartless person.....who never lets anyone enter his territory.... is actually this alone in his own darkness where he was afraid to call out someone's name... thinking that person will also leave him alone.

" I promise. I won't. I can never. " Jimin said holding Jungkook more tightly. It felt like he was promising himself too. He never ever can imagine of leaving Jungkook. He wanted to see the older with his last breathes....how will he be even able to live anywhere without this man ? How will he let this man be alone after knowing him to the depths .

Jungkook slowly moved away a little and looked up at Jimin who's tears betrayed him once again. Jimin's lips quivered seeing the broken looking Jungkook. His face was pale, lips quivering, his always firey devilish eyes looking down with defeated look, his long hair falling all over his forehead and cheeks.

" Pl-please look at m-meh... " Jimin's broken soft voice made Jungkook blink but certainly he couldn't look up. Well, he knew there wasn't anything to hide anymore. He knew how broken he looked. He knew he seemed pathetic..he thought he should be ashamed but on top of everything...he just couldn't regret anything. He knew his Jimin will accept him in every possible way... won't he ?

Jungkook felt two soft palm shakily getting placed beside his cheek and very carefully cupping his face. Even if he was dazed, drunk... Jungkook could feel all the pure affections in those touch. The touch that makes him weak, the touch that makes him crave more... the touch that makes him break all the barriers and clutch onto his own fallen angel.

" Please.. " Jimin softly pleaded, his voice shaking because of tears as he made Jungkook look up. Those firey eyes held the darkest clouds of pain and Jimin could feel himself getting more broken cause he knew Jungkook was letting him see all his pains.

" Le-lets go to other room... please.. come with me.." Jimin said with a tender voice as his thumb carresed on Jungkook's cheek in an assuring way to soothe down the older who noticeably wasn't okay.

They didn't blink as they looked at each other. Jimin's crystal like tears won't stop as he stared at Jungkook's red clouded eyes where wasn't any sign of tears. Jimin knew Jungkook's eyes burned to shed tears but Destiny had soaked them all..... Jungkook needed to cry...let out everything.. Jimin’s heart broke numerous times thinking how much pain Jungkook goes through alone.

While Jungkook just stared at Jimin with blank eyes, his heart telling him that he's saved, he's Complete, he's someone's. And that someone will wrap him in his wings no matter what. Just like now. Jungkook was dizzy but he was trying hard to stay conscious cause he was scared that when he wakes up... he'll find Jimin was a dream. A dream that he never deserved.

Jungkook was scared when he'll wake up, he will not be able to see Jimin anymore. He was scared to not find Jimin running in his arms when he calls him. He was scared to find himself alone once again....

For the first time Jungkook's brain didn't scream at him. His demons didn't scream at him....cause Jungkook knew His demons are scared of Jimin.

Jungkook didn't realise he was still shivering cause the wave of comfort and his so called unnamed emotion was so hard that Jungkook wouldn't even realise if it was death pain.

Jimin was there.

On the other hand Jimin felt how much hot Jungkook's skin was. He knew it can't be just for the fire. He was shivering. It was fever which attacked for the horrible panic attack.

Jimin stood up holding Jungkook's hand who was still sitting on the floor, without blinking and was looking at him.

" Come with me... please.." Jimin requested holding Jungkook's hand with his both hands. The older was looking at their hands now then again at Jimin's eyes with a lost look.....just like a kid who's lost in his nightmare. Those beautiful devilish eyes were flickering with a sudden odd innocence and pain.

Jimin didn't realise how he suddenly held the eight years old Jungkook’s hand and the twenty three years old Jungkook’s hand at the same time, how both of his personalities knelt down infront of Jimin in utter defeat.

" Please Jungkookie...." Jimin pleaded pulling Jungkook's hand a little who finally broke out of his trance and tried to get up. But he was too dizzy , the alcohol in his system and the panic attack which caused the sudden fever made him more unstable.

But Jimin didn't let him fall.

Just like everytime in every way.. Jimin held Jungkook's hand , being his greatest support system and pulled him up in his feet. Jimin held Jungkook's torso with his right hand and held his left hand which Jungkook had wrapped around his shoulder.

Jimin somehow took Jungkook out of the room and he realised Jungkook was slightly stumbling. As Jimin looked down to see what was the problem, his breathe hitched in a sudden sock. Jungkook was leaving bloody foot prints cause his feets were cut by those glass shards and at the same time Jimin realised his feets were also cut...and that's why it was hurting so bad.

Jungkook didn't Talk and just walked with Jimin who leaded him towards another room in the corridor.

Pushing the door open, Jimin took Jungkook inside the room . It wasn't a master bedroom ofcourse . It was a little empty room with a bedding on the floor but the room was beautiful.

Jimin made Jungkook sit down on the bed. He could finally breathe in the fresh air now but all he cared about is Jungkook..and only Jungkook.

Jimin was about to walk away to get something when he felt the strong yet shaky hold on his wrist. Jimin looked back at Jungkook's eyes who silently looked at him yet his eyes screamed utmost desparation. They screamed
“ Don't Leave ! Please don't leave ! Please don't.... I'll do anything but don't leave...”

" Water. " Jimin said softly touching Jungkook's hand and looking at the table to make Jungkook understand that he was just going to get water.

The hold around Jimin's hand tightened once before it loosened. Jimin walked towards the table to pour water in the glass and quickly came back to the bed where Jungkook was sitting with his legs folded, eyes looking down at his lap... staring at his shaky hands.

Jimin sat on the bed and Jungkook immediately looked up with his eyes flicking brightly with a hint of huge relief. That Jimin didn't leave him now.

Both were staring at each other till Jimin placed his left palm on Jungkook's thigh and placed the glass infront of Jungkook's lips, indicating him to drink it. He was trying not to cry and just hug Jungkook tightly.

What worried Jimin more was Jungkook still didn't cry even after all these. More like he couldn't. It was like he wanted to but couldn't. He was hurt, had mental breakdown, had a horrifying panic attack, got stuck in the fire, has fever but there wasn't a single drop of tear in his eyes.

Jungkook silently drank the water and few water droplets trickled down from his lips because his lips were quivering. Jimin put the glass away and wiped the water away from Jungkook's chin. The interaction between them was so different today. But it was special than ever. Jimin didn't care how Jungkook will react after getting sober. Jimin didn't care if Jungkook gets angry and hurts him , tells him he doesn't love him or doesn't even believes in it........ Jimin really didn't care about anything other than Jungkook being okay at the moment.

They sat there in silence with Jungkook still looking down with his long hair covering his eyes . Till Jimin cupped Jungkook's face softly once again and made him look up. If Jungkook was sober, Jimin would have hesitated cause the older might have not liked it but now Jimin had no option. He had to do this.

" Cry... please..cry for once.. let it out.. I'm here, tell me.. I'll listen.. everything.. scream it out on me..but.. just cry for once... please... " Jimin said, more like pleaded desperately while holding Jungkook's face in his soft hands . The older just stared at Jimin with the same blank eyes. He looked like he didn't even know the meaning of “ Crying ” or simply just don't know how to do it.

" Please ... It's my request.. Please.. crying doesn't mean weak. Crying doesn't symbolise weakness nor defeat. " Jimin said scooting more closer while he realised that Jungkook was clutching the hem of the younger's shirt, just like a kid who's scared to get lost.

Jungkook blinked once, twice, thrice, trying to understand Jimin's words properly, trying his best to live on those words, trying to forget his demons who called him weak and pathetic.

“ Cry-crying doesn't mean we-weakness ? ” Jungkook asked to no one in his head.

“ No ! It's not ! Believe in him ! Don't you trust him more than yourself ? Don't you find his every words truer than the life itself !? ”

“ I.. I d-do... ”

“ CRYING MEANS PATHETIC ! IT MAKES YOU FUCKING WEAK ! SO WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ? CRY HUH ? JUST BECAUSE HE SAYS ? HOW PATHETICALLY STUPID OF YOU THAT YOU BELIEVE HIM. IN NO TIME HE'LL LEAVE YOU CRYING. ” Jungkook's demons screamed making him more dizzy and his head hurt.

Jungkook's head fell on Jimin's shoulder as he clutched on Jimin's shirt who held him in his arms.

But this time Jungkook didn't want his demons to win and make him push away his Jimin. He didn't want to let the Demons win...he couldn't make Jimin lose in this game where he gave away his everything.

" If he s-says it d-doesn't, It doesn't. " Jungkook didn't know that he mouthed out those words rather than saying it in his head.

Jimin’s heart was racing like a treadmill as he held Jungkook, rubbing his back tenderly to soothe him. He was confused by Jungkook's incoherent words but he knew Jungkook was fighting with himself.

" Please just once... Please... just let it out..no one has to see..no one has to know.. I'm here.. I'll always be.. Please..cry.. " Jimin pleaded with tears running down his own eyes as he pressed a kiss on Jungkook's shoulder. He loved the older unconditionally...he loved him to much that his every breathe was depended on Jungkook's well being.

Jungkook hold tightened around Jimin's torso as he pressed his face more in the crook of Jimin's neck.

" Let it out...just cry... I'm here.. crying means you were strong for too long.. crying means you're reliving out of the nightmare... crying means strength cause we're enough powerful to face the pain and let it out. " Jimin said with his voice muffled between his own tears.

" Don't listen to those demons...they lies.... they always lies. " Jimin said closing his eyes and carresing his lover's long hair.

" I.. I couldn't sa-save mom..dad.. I s-stood th-there...but couldn't save.." Jungkook's muffled almost inaudible voice made Jimin's ears perk up and he just kept caressing Jungkook's back.

" It wasn't your fault... trust me..it wasn't Jungkookie.. they were monsters who killed sir and ma'am..you were a kid...." Jimin soothed.

" I could have saved them... " Jungkook said justifying his guilty.

" No ! You couldn't have. It was impossible. I believe in the truth and the truth is..you would have saved them with your life if you could. " Jimin said assuring the truth that no one ever showed to Jungkook.

" You weren't standing There...you know you weren't...stop believing in the lie that your demons tell you..you were equally hurt.. in pain. " Jimin said and Jungkook got silent, only breathing sharply beside Jimin's warm skin.

" I ra-ran away.... I shou-should’nt have le-left them alone... " Jungkook said, his voice breaking badly and Jimin just pulled him more closer if possible.

" You didn't run away...you didn't. Ma'am wanted you to...sir too..you are the one they loved so much like you did, you still do. How ca-can they see you dying ? They wanted you to live..cause you deserved.. they wanted to live in you..see the world through you.. breathe once again through you... you are a part of them.. they live through you.. cause you're special, to them, to me. " Jimin's every word was hitting Jungkook harder and harder even when he was dizzy. His eyes were literally burning cause Jimin was making it more hard to hold those emotions back.

" Th-they wouldn't li-live through me... they would hate me now... they never wanted me to be like this.." Jungkook's voice sounded too hurt.

" They would. They does. They also never wanted those things that you faced.... they never wanted it how people treated you.. they never wanted that Destiny that made you like this... Trust me.. they knows.. they understands.. they loves you so much... " Jimin said and felt Jungkook's lips parted to say something but nothing came out of his mouth.

" The-they were my everything....my World... " Jungkook said, his voice more shakier than before and Jimin hugged him more tighter.

" I know... trust me I know. " Jimin said biting his lips to hold himself strong. He knew Jungkook was in the verge of breaking down. He just knew it.

" I di-didn't understand... mo-mom was cry-crying, holding Ap-Appa...he was so so cold...he di-didn't move, didn't breathe..did-didn't look at us.. I thought- I thought he was as-asleep... Bu-but he was no-not " Jungkook said, his voice muffling between hiccups and stutters. Jimin's endless tears flowed down, staining his cheeks as he pressed a soft kiss on the side of Jungkook's head.

" Mo-mom was crying... I couldn't see her crying...it hu-hurt m-me to wat-watch her tears.. I felt helpless..so helpless.. I thought uncle wi-will help.. I trusted him.. I looked at him..but he was just smiling.." Jungkook said breathing on Jimin's neck. Jimin understood his beloved man in his arms didn't have trust issues for nothing. His pure trust were crushed under the feet of destiny in a ripe age and no one did nothing to mend it. Jimin could feel the trauma real badly. He couldn't imagine the scenario happening with him and his mother. He understood how much..just how much it would hurt.

" S-she was a very strong person... mom's eyes used to h-have bright sparks. Bu-but you know wh-when I couldn't see the spark an-anymore ? Wh-when she lo-looked like someone sn-snatched he-her breathe away ? " Jungkook asked and Jimin bit in his own lips, trying to calm his sobs as he never stopped carresing Jungkook's nape. Both their breathes were hitching. Jimin knew everything about Jungkook's real self was broken, painful and Shattered...but when he himself was voicing it out... it was more heart breaking. Cause everyone just knew the story of the Devil. But no one knew what he actually went through or felt.

Jungkook was shivering in Jimin's arms. Jimin knew that the older will loose his consciousness in few moments but he also knew that he won't let Jungkook hide it anymore. He won't let him hide those heart wrenching sobs and painful tears anymore.

" Mhmm ? " Jimin somehow made out the courage to voice that out and asked the older to continue.

" When sh-she knew that Appa wo-won't ever open his eyes anymore. When Ap-appa didn't hold back her ha-hand anymore. I kn-knew.. I ju-just knew at that point..tha- " Jungkook's voice got stuck on his throat as a faint sob came out from his mouth.

Jimin clutched onto Jungkook When he felt the older's hot tears on his shoulder. Jimin's heart dropped when just hid himself more in Jimin's neck, letting his painful tears out, hiding it in his comfort zone, his safe heaven.

" -at.. that...mom lost he-her wis-wish to live anymore wh-when she knew Appa wo-won't look at h-her anymore..Appa ha-had left h-her..us.." Jungkook said between his tears while he was shaking.

" I didn't.. I didn't wa-want to ru-run away you kn-know ? I wanted to die th-there with th-them..." Jungkook sobbed on Jimin's shoulder who was also crying.

" No ! Please Jungkookie don't say it like that.. I told you that you deserved to live.." Jimin whispered in Jungkook's ears and pressed a soft kiss on his earlobe who sobbed harder..... because of this so wanted affection which he craved all his life.

" D-do I ? I sti-still deserve ? " Jungkook asked with a faint shaky voice and Jimin's heart clenched like it never did before. He immediately pulled Jungkook a little away and cupped his face.

Jimin didn't know why he wanted to clutch his chest and sob as he saw the most heart breaking sight infront of him. He couldn't see Jungkook's face properly because his own vision was blurred with tears. Jungkook's watery eyes, tears leaving them and rolling down his cheeks.... Jimin could swear that it was the most painful sigh of his life. His heart ached to see Jungkook cry. He felt more restless than ever when he made Jungkook look up.

" You do ! You do deserve to live, happily . You deserve to smile, be happy and be loved . You deserve all the happiness and love. Okay ? " Jimin said trying to smile through tears as Jungkook clutched his eyes shut and let the tears flow down.

Jungkook never knew he'll feel so powerless infront of everyone but he was happy at the moment. He was happy to loose his power and control infront of Jimin... only Jimin. He never knew he'll be delighted telling anyone his painful rants and anyone still will hold him like this.

Jungkook held Jimin's both wrists which was on his face and silently cried. Letting all the tears out which he was hiding for all these years.

As much as the sight was heartbreaking for Jimin...he still had to let it happen in the sake of his beloved. Jimin could never imagine how much heart wrenching those beautiful dark brown eyes will look while shedding tears.

" It's okay.. I'm here... come here.. " Jimin said pulling Jungkook close to his chest.

An the older sobbed on Jimin's chest till he fell asleep on Jimin's shoulder.
Jimin sat there carresing Jungkook's hair for god knows how many hours, till he felt Jungkook calm down and fell asleep.

Jimin made Jungkook lie down on the bed and kept carresing his hair and wiped away those remaining tear stains from the older's cheeks.

" You deserve the world Jungkookie
...and I love you so much..so so much.
I always will..even if I die.. I'll still find a way to be with you...cause I promised, I'll never leave. " Jimin said with silent tear drops rolling down his eyes.

Jimin pressed a soft kiss on Jungkook's temple before proceeding to get off of the bed but then he realised Jungkook was clutching his hand in his sleep. His now resting face became distressed when Jimin tried to move away.

" I'm here... Sleep.. I will go no where." Jimin assured like Jungkook could hear him while Jimin freed his hand away and walked towards the bathroom to get what he needed. It was already almost midnight.

.
.
.

Jungkook's face looked distressed in his sleep when Jimin was taking care of the older's feet. He was putting the ointment when Jungkook slightly hissed.

" Sorry sorry..." Jimin apologised and hissed himself like he too felt the burn.

Afterwards he somehow managed to find a ice bag and put it on the older's forehead time to time. When Jimin was close, Jungkook slept peacefully holding the younger's hand.

Jungkook scooted closer and kept his head on Jimin's lap as the younger kept carresing his hair after his fever died down. Jimin kept saying soothing words and I love yous without caring that Jungkook was asleep. He only knew Jungkook deserved those words.
.
.
.

It was sometime after dawn when Jungkook woke up in Jimin's arms who fell asleep just a few minutes ago.

Jungkook was still clutching onto Jimin tighter than ever, warmed up with comfort and safety. Even before opening his eyes he knew he was in Jimin's arms. His Jimin was holding him.

( A/n. Sob with me! 😭 )

Upon opening his eyes Jungkook remembered everything that happened yesterday. He remembered how he was miserable, how Jimin came to save him once again , how he cried...after 15 damned years..how Jimin held him like no one ever will...how his Jimin is still holding him.

Jungkook's heart filled up with a different light feeling. He didn't wake up with heaviness in his chest. He didn't wake up with the pain in his mind or his demoms screaming at him. Jungkook felt happier than ever. He felt safe, peaceful and happy.

“ He's here..he wasn't a dream.. he'll always be here with me..my Jimin. ”
Jungkook mumbled to himself before he pressed his lips on Jimin's chest before falling asleep once again.

.
.
.
.
.

Jungkook woke up again as sunlight hit his face through the huge glass window. He opened his eyes and saw the dense forest outside the glass for a second... before he realised he wasn't in Jimin's arms anymore. His calm face visibly distressed as he looked around the room and sat up in the speed of light. Well, he had a slight headache from all the drinking yesterday but he was in his full consciousness right now. His sharp eyes scanned the room to find Jimin.

" Jimin.. " Jungkook's voice came out hoarse as he felt his throat being dry.  But he didn't care.

“ Was it all a dream !? Wasn't he here with me ? No no it can't be ! He was here ! My Jimin was here ! I can fucking feel him in my breath ! The-then where is he !? ” Jungkook automatically screamed in his mind and rushed out of the room.

His wounded feet was well avoided by him while he almost ran through the corridor. He couldn't help but feel scared about reality and dream.

" No no no ! He was here ! " Jungkook mumbled to himself as he looked here and there in the very silent mansion.

There was an other reason he felt paranoid. They we're alone there. There was someone else locked there who can hurt his Jimin. Not like that person can escape from the room but still.

Jungkook ran down the stairs and was about to call Jimin's name when he heard some sounds from the kitchen.
He gulped once before walking towards the kitchen.

" Oh God I'm dumb ! Aish I should have woke up earlier ! If he wakes up before - ah yeah it's done ! " Jimin was talking to no one while doing something in the kitchen counter. He was back facing Jungkook and didn't acknowledge his presence while Jungkook just stood there watching the younger for few moments.

Jungkook understood Jimin was making something. Now he realised the delicious scent around the place. He unknowingly sniffed in the air before silently approching Jimin.

" Now it needs to cool down and I'm done ! Will he eat it ? Will he like it ! Aghh Jimin you should have learnt cooking properly ! -AHH " Jimin was talking to himself and then suddenly almost screamed as Jungkook hugged him from behind.

" I'll like anything you make. " Jungkook said placing his face on Jimin's shoulder. His voice was just above the whisper because of his dry throat but Jimin could clearly hear the calm and collected but soft tone which was completely different from yesterday.

" G-Good morning ! Is your head still hurting ? I tried to find medicines but there was none. Should we head back to city ? " Jimin said trying to avoid the events of yesterday cause he thought Jungkook might not like it. Jimin knew the man hid all his pains for years and didn't even like the idea of showing them to anyone.....so Jimin didn't want Jungkook to feel uncomfortable and get angry cause he still had a light fever.

But Jimin didn't know what Jungkook was thinking. How Jungkook can be completely unfiltered to his safe heaven.

" Thank you for yesterday. Thank you for coming here, saving me and not leaving me in tears... thank you for everything. " Jungkook suddenly said and Jimin gasped. They were still standing in the same position and Jimin could feel the very familiar rosy cloud shaped lips getting placed on his shoulder.

" Ho-How could I leave you... I can never... thank you for trusting in me.."
Jimin said closing his eyes as a single tear drop left his eyes.

"

I know... I won't even let you leave. "
Jungkook mumbled it on Jimin's shoulder who couldn't hear it properly.

" Ar-are we going back to city ? " Jimin asked and Jungkook turned Jimin around. The older’s face noticeably hardened as he was Jimin's tired face, swollen red eyes and pale lips. He looked sick and Jungkook hated it.

" Do you want to go back ? " Jungkook asked , his thumb trying to wipe away Jimin's tear strains from his cheek who stared at him in concern cause Jungkook's own eyes were red.

Jimin shook his head lightly, giving his answer from heart. He really didn't want to leave from this place. He knew If they leaves.. somehow they'll part away. They'll not be this close..may be Jungkook will be busy and leave.... Jimin was missing Jungkook even when he was with him. He didn't want to part away.

" Then stay with me..." Jungkook said, his heart filling up with happiness and a sudden comfort. This day never ever felt like this for all those years.

Jungkook never felt happy before in this day. Never felt like he felt today with Jimin. And he knew why ...it was just his Jimin.

Jimin nodded smiling with his eyes turning into cresents. His heart winning smile...and something that made Jungkook's heart beat fast and forget about everything around him.

Jungkook suddenly pulled Jimin closer in his arms and hugged him, hiding his face in Jimin's crook of neck once again....and just like everytime Jimin melted in the older's hold with a smile and tears leaving his eyes.

“ Tears are those words which his heart couldn't say....but his angel listened it all. ”
