Jungkook was otherwise silent on their way home. He was trying to figure out why the hell Jae was here, and how the fuck he found him. But he was also worried about how he was going to tell the whole story. It was a tough one, and a terrible one. Jungkook felt Jimin squeeze his hand when they got to the door.

"Jungkook, if you aren't ready I'll be patient and wait. Take as long as you need."

Jungkook unlocked it and went inside. "Yeah, but you've seen it now. You get to hear it too." He locked the door behind Jimin. "I think that's...only fair."

"I don't care if it's fair. I care if you're okay." Jimin led him to the bedroom so they could have more room to sit and talk. Jungkook slowly sat down, before feeling his eyes burn with new tears.

"You...you're really the best..." Jungkook wiped his eyes before taking a deep breath. "I'm so glad you care about my well being. It's encouraging."

Jimin smiled softly. "Of course I do. I love you...and even though I'm just getting to know you, I'm still going to support you 100%. Cause that's what it means...to be by each other's side."

"Oh Jimin..." Jungkook leaned forward and rested his head on Jimin chest, slowly pushing him back and hugging his torso. Jimin smiled softly and petted Jungkook's hair, playing with it.

"Start whenever you're ready. I'm here...and if you can only tell part of it today, that's okay. It's still early in the day...mmm..." Jimin quickly checked his phone. "It's 2...we slept a lot, um, so yeah. Take your time."

"Jimin...I want to tell you everything. But I don't want you to think of me differently...I just...I want to start anew with you. I don't want anything from my past relationship. Nothing..."

"I will do everything like I would. Because I'm the opposite of him. I would never make you do anything you don't want to. Or force you to be something else. I want you Jungkook. You. That's why I'm here...because we met and I fell in love. And I'm getting to know you, and just...I'm loving you even more." Jimin smiled more when Jungkook gave a small smile while looking up at him.

"You really are the best. And handsome. And perfect, and charming and kind and-"

"Stop! I can't take too many compliments at once, you'll overflow me..." Jimin felt his face redden. "But...can I ask a question?..."

"Of course. I guess...anything is fair game now..." Jungkook pulled away and sat up, leaving Jimin lying down.

"Why were you so confident while..." Jimin cleared his throat and blushed more. "Um, marking me."

"Oh...yeah." Jungkook rubbed the back of his head. "Cause it seemed like you liked it...and I've never been allowed to before, and you didn't hate it so I guess I thought you liked it? I dunno...I like marking...but Jae didn't like just...making out...so it was never like that...you know. It was never just a fun pass time for small love?"

"I see...cause I do like it. It makes it seem like I really do belong to someone." Jimin beamed a little, making Jungkook laugh. And god...did Jimin love to hear Jungkook laugh. It was golden and pure.

"I'm glad you like it...cause I really do like it...." Jungkook blushed slightly.

"Kinky." Jimin retorted, a small smirk growing.

"Jimin! Don't be like that! It's weird." Jungkook's face scrunched up, making Jimin smile before giggling.

"Am I wrong?"

"I-I guess not but still...it's a weird place to leave off."

"Ah. Story time?"

"Story time."

Jungkook and Jimin got comfortable, before Jungkook took a deep breath.

"We met in school...we were third years in hero school, both top ranked. We had to practice a lot. Jae...was really good. And by practicing together, we only got better. And soon, we had every class together. And soon we were sitting next to each other in classes, and sharing notes. We became inseparable, and I never understood why Tae hyung didn't like him. He kept saying his thoughts were bad, but since he usually doesn't snoop too far in people's heads, I was surprised. So I got mad at him for doing so with someone I liked, and we stopped hanging out for a while. Tae and I had dated before then, so I knew it was unusual that for him to go that far into Jae's head. So for our remaining year, Jae asked me out, and I said yes. Tae hyung wasn't there to stop me. I hadn't met Jin hyung yet. I thought...it was good. People gave us looks, but he had convinced me that after we graduated and got our new place together, we would be the best heroes..." Jungkook smiled harshly at the memories, making Jimin grimace.

"And while...after we graduated, Tae hyung and I became friends again. It seems he had accepted I wanted to be with Jae...so we continued to hang out. I met Jin hyung around then too. And suddenly...Jae started rushing me with things. Talking about families and what couples do. He...he told me that...if I really loved him I would...if I really loved him..." Jungkook started to choke on his words.

"It's okay Jungkook. It's okay." Jimin sat up and took Jungkook's hand, rubbing his finger in circles to comfort.

"He said that if I really loved him...that I should show it to him. He...he stole my first kiss. It was forced. I didn't want to yet. And...every time he would get angry because of work...he took that out on me. We worked as partners for a long time before I became an independent hero. So every misfortune was my fault. And I accepted that. I believed him every time. I told him...so many times that I would get better. And every time I messed up, I would get yelled at. But he would always apologize and say he loved me and I believed him. We slept in the same bed, so he always made sure things were clear before we went to sleep. But...one day...I messed up more then usual." Jungkook stopped, his eyes looking down and tearing up.

"It's okay. You don't have to say it all." Jimin continued to hold his hand, never letting go.

"No, I'm already here." He took another deep breath. "I let a villain go. He was desperate, and I knew the punishment he was going to get was more than he deserved. But Jae? Jae didn't like that at all. He brought me home and yelled, before slapping my face. I remember it clearly...he looked terrified, but it was soon replaced by his normal apologetic face. I ran out of our house to Jin hyung, since Tae hyung would've told me to break up with him and that wasn't what I wanted to hear at the time. I stayed the night before Jae texted me to come back...and I just...followed him. This happened a couple of times before it got worse. He would hit me. Apologize. Hit me. Apologize. Make sure it was okay before we went to sleep." Jungkook felt his tears beginning to prick.

"You don't have to..." Jimin also felt tears coming. Seeing Jungkook cry made him want to cry.

"And one night it changed. He forced me...to...god..." Jungkook choked again, staying quiet for a while. "And he took my virginity. It...hurt. He knew what he was doing and I didn't. I cried the entire time but it became a normal thing. Every time I did something wrong, we had apology sex...and I hated it. It was so...forced...but I couldn't bare to loose him. So I stayed. God...it got so bad. Jin...Jin hyung finally spoke up about it. I always avoided Jae being the topic around Tae hyung. But Jin hyung...he started to notice I was getting more tired. Saw I was flinching at every touch. Saw I wasn't singing anymore. Saw that I was so careful about everything. He questioned and asked, and bombarded me, but I told him all lies. And...it was until Jin hyung saw a bruise. As a hero, you get them so often. But...I don't bruise very easily. It takes many hits for me to bruise. So he immediately went to yell at Jae, who denied everything. Jin hyung told Tae hyung, and they both yelled at Jae. But...once I got home after that...fucking day...I got punished. It was the worst one..."

"When did you realize?..."

"I realized it was fake when I stalked him. I mean...yeah, I stalked him on his off day. Tae hyung was getting very upset about what he thought was happening, and I finally agreed to do his little challenge. It was for me to text him all day and see if he lied about his whereabouts or if his responses were bad. He lied about who he was with, he lied where he was, he lied about what he was wearing. He lied about what he bought. God, I felt so dumb. There was never one truth about his texts back. I went home and packed my things. I waited till he got home, and ended things with him. It was so hard...god, he tries to kiss me and apologize, and have things make sense and I just couldn't. I was thin, broken, and tired. He strained me, and I didn't even realize it until the damage was done...Jimin..."

"God...that fucking asshole needs to die. He...ruined you! He made you so much less than what you are, how can you...you seems so okay now...you're really strong Jungkook. I'm so proud of you. Thank you so much. You didn't have to tell me any of this, and you got through it all. I'm so proud of you." Jimin pulled Jungkook closer and gave him a soft kiss on the lips, and pulled away. And slowly...Jungkook started to cry. "What did I do wrong Jungkook?!" Jimin immediately felt alarmed.

"T-the opposite hyung...you're so careful with me, I-I just can't...your sweetness makes me cry...cause I've never been...kissed so...sweetly..."

"Oh Jungkookie, you deserve all of the sweetness in the world."

Jungkook wiped his eyes, and took a deep breath. "Okay. Okay I'm good. The only think I'm concerned about is...we were in Busan. I was moved to a bigger district with Taehyung and Jin, to here in Seoul. I don't know how he found me...how am I supposed to save people if I can't even save myself?"

"Jungkook. You can do it, because you're not alone. You have me. You have Jin and Taehyung, and you have Hoseok and Yoongi, and Namjoon. You don't think so, but they will help you no matter what. And I know that for a fact." Jimin laid down bringing Jungkook with him. "Okay? You're not alone." He kissed his nose.

"Okay hyung. You're right. I'm so thankful."

"I'm just so happy...that you trust me enough to put this on me as well."

"Well yeah. You're my soulmate. I think it's time for me to start thinking like that's true, and that you're mine."

"I think it's time for that too." Jimin smiled before giving many more sweet, innocent kisses. They took the rest of the afternoon to kiss and cry, and later eat. The important things.

Jimin was simply so happy that he was trusted to start anew. Be a soulmate. God, Jungkook is so precious. Jimin couldn't help but smile as Jungkook fell asleep in his arms, cuddled up against him. He needed to call Jin hyung. He hoped so many things; that Jungkook was going to be more okay and open, that Jin and Jungkook would rebuild their broken bridge, and that Namjoon and Jin hyung were on better terms as well. It seems like Jin hyung was just in a bad spot recently. But Jimin was determined to make all of these things possible. Yet...he felt like Jungkook skipped over something.
