Third Person's POV

Taehyung drop them on Jungkook's apartment and leaves after sensing the tension between the two, Jimin's eyes doesn't leave Jungkook only following him silent from behind.

They stopped walking, Jungkook's back facing him. The younger waited silently, preparing himself for what is going to come. Expecting Jungkook to snaps at him.

It didn't happen.

He was only given a silent treatment. Jungkook didn't even bat an eye as he walk past Jimin, coat in his hand and leaves the house.

Pained expression was all over Jimin's face, followed by tears flowing down his cheeks. He stayed rooted in his place, his head hang low, small and quite sobs only could be heard.

Jimin had tried fighting Sungwoon, he never wanted that to happen but the way Jungkook acting, the way he distant himself, it makes Jimin feel it was his.

Jimin sat on the floor, pulled his knees closer to his chest as he waits for him, back pressed against the wall, Jimin look down at his phone he wanted to call him ask him to come back.

Hurt and confused Jimin only hugged his knees tighter as he sobs harder, he rested his forehead against his knees, eyes completely shut.

"Jungkook-ah," Jimin called out with a broken voice.

"Jungkook-ah,"

Jimin's eyes widened.

"Baby, listen to me, I didn't know okay? I didn't know that Eunwoo would show up and-"

"And what? You didn't know that he would kiss you?"

Jimin placed his hands over his head, discomfort in his face when suddenly memories from the past flashes inside his mind.

"Did you just make up those things so that you could be with him? Or when I was away you realized you weren't still over him?"

"I don't... I don't love him that way, you know that."

"Then what was that? Why did you look so happy upon seeing him instead of me? Why did you two kissed?!"

"Trust me, I didn't kiss him---"

"I trusted you! I trusted you with my whole heart but look what you did? You only hurt me."

"Jungkook-ah,"

"Throw the ring away, you're no longer engage to me. You could do whatever you want, I don't care anymore."

Jimin hands clutched onto his chest as if the painful feeling in the past resurfaced, Jimin shook his head rapidly, tears flowing down his eyes...

No, Jungkook-ah.

I didn't let him kissed me. I didn't— he repeated like a mantra.

Jimin keep on running, looking out for Jungkook that was nowhere to be found. He tried calling his phone number but he is not answering.

Jimin didn't stop looking out for him.

Until he found him near a vacant lot sitting alone in an old bench. Jimin's worried expression slowly faded, a relief sigh escape from his lips and stops himself from walking, eyes staring at his frame. 

Jimin clenches his fist and move closely, heart pounding against his ribcage.

Jungkook noticed his presence, he tilted his head up and met Jimin's eyes. Jungkook look at him softly but hurtful expression evident in his face and when Jimin got closer, he slowly gazes down, shoulders slump together.

"I scared you right?" Jungkook suddenly asked, Jimin's face turned into confusion, eyes wide as he stares at him. "You see... Jimin..." Jungkook trailed off voice tired and full of pain.

"I'm not the right one for you." Jungkook almost whispers in his painful voice, "I will only hurt you." Jimin shook his head muttering the word, no, again and again trying to persuade the older but Jungkook only cuts him off and finally looks up at him, fat tears flowing down his cheeks.

"That's why we broke up before! I reminded you of your abusive father! I did a terrible thing to you! I ra—"

"Stop!"

"It was never okay." Jungkook says shaking his head. Jimin's own tears fell down, what? He asks himself, Jungkook shook his head, pain written all over his face.

"I'm scared that I might just do the same mistake again, Min. What happened earlier... it already happened before and it's like fate is playing with us because the history keeps on repeating itself."

Jimin is staring down at him with hurtful eyes, Jungkook gazes back down and eyes fluttering shut refusing to him look at the younger male.

Jimin clenches his fists.

"No." Jimin says.

"Jungkook, no..." He repeated himself, stubbornly.

"It won't happen again!" Jimin shouted, Jungkook clenches his jaw, new tears streamed down his face, "You won't do the same mistake again, I know you won't!" Jimin rapidly shook his head, still persuading the older male.

"Let's just part ways," Jimin's chest tightens, lips trembling, "You can find—" Jimin launched forward and pulled Jungkook to him.

Jungkook's face now buried against his stomach. Jimin leaned down, chin rested on Jungkook's head, biting his lower lip preventing himself from sobbing loudly, tears continuing to flow.

A moment of silence had passed. . .

"No... Jungkook, please don't do this to me," Jimin begged voice cracking in mid-sentence.

"Don't let me go." Jimin says hugging Jungkook tightly while shaking his head, heartbroken. Jungkook felt guilt swelling up in him as he listens to the younger one.

"Just this once, think what you really feel, stop thinking about anything else but yourself."

"If your heart wants me to stay then don't push me away." Jimin says tone pleading, clinging onto Jungkook as if his life depends on him. "Stop thinking about me getting hurt, please stop that Jungkook-ah and don't break us apart." Jungkook let out a hurtful sob and wrapped his arms around Jimin's waist, pulling him closely and pressing himself against his body, gripping Jimin's shirt tightly.

"You already suffered so much, you suffered for so long." Jimin convinces the other male. Jungkook sobbed harder, soaking Jimin's shirt.

Jimin leaned backward, brought his hands to touch the side of Jungkook's face and run his fingers to brush Jungkook's soft locks gently.

"Stop hurting yourself... you deserve to be happy too." Jimin says voice full of sincerity.

Jimin kisses the crown of Jungkook's head, his eyes closed, "My Jungkookie deserves to be happy." Jimin mumbled, Jungkook's sob slowly subsided.

Jungkook tilted his head and Jimin instantly broke away looking down at his boyfriend. Jungkook is staring up at Jimin eyes shining with tears and face less anxious.

"I... I d-deserve to be happy?" Jungkook almost whispered his tone that breaks Jimin's heart.

Jimin smiled faintly with tearful gaze, biting his lower lip while nodding his head rapidly. Jimin slid his hands to cup Jungkook's face, thumbing his wet cheeks while staring at the older with fond eyes.

"Of course you deserve to be one, love."

A small and sincere smile slowly appears in Jungkook's lips.

They walked inside the apartment with fingers interlocked. Jimin leads Jungkook into the couch and made him sit down which the latter had obey. Jungkook smiled faintly to his small boyfriend, eyes swollen before he shyly look down.

Jimin instinctively places his palm on top of Jungkook's forehead because of how pale Jungkook looks right now, Jimin's eyes turned into a worried one.

"Are you cold, baby? Are you feeling not okay?"Jimin asked him, Jungkook gazes up at him, small smile playing in his lips.

"I'm okay." He says softly, Jimin shake his head no. He pulled Jungkook up and yank him inside his room, Jungkook followed him with no complain.

Jimin made Jungkook sit on the bed and rushes towards Jungkook's closet to get some comfortable clothes for Jungkook, Jimin faces him and gave him his white shirt and pajama, Jungkook only look at him as Jimin hand him his clothes.

"Change into comfy clothes, I'll be back." Jimin says to him and didn't even wait for Jungkook's respond as he made his way outside of Jungkook's room.

Jimin came back afterwards with a tray of food.

"Jungkook-ah," Jimin called out softly, shaking his shoulder, Jungkook slowly faces Jimin with furrowed brows.

"I'm sorry." Jimin tells him feeling bad for waking up the latter. "But you need to eat first." He continued, Jimin climb on the bed and help Jungkook to sit properly. Jungkook smiled a little as he watch Jimin climb off the bed to get the tray of food on the table beside his bed.

Jimin places the tray on top of Jungkook's lap, Jungkook look down and slowly grab the spoon and starts eating slowly, Jimin smiled.

"Jungkook-ah." Jimin called out.

Jungkook look up, cheeks full, munching his food adorably, Jimin let out a small and amused laugh. Jimin scoots to Jungkook, reaching forward and wiped the side of Jungkook's mouth with his thumb, Jungkook smiled shyly before lowering his head again but then he suddenly look up again, drop the spoon and grab Jimin's chin.

Kissing Jimin by surprise.

It was only a quick peck but it didn't fail to make Jimin feel butterflies in his stomach, Jungkook goes back to eating his food as if nothing happened and we have Jimin smiling from ear to ear while biting his lower lip like a teenager in love.

Jungkook look up again as if announcing he's done eating, Jimin ruffles the older male's hair.

"Good boy," Jimin compliments and Jungkook chuckles at the pet name.  "Here drink this." Jimin said handing Jungkook a glass of water and a medicine. Jungkook obliged and afterwards places the glass above the tray.

Jimin set aside the tray and leaned forward cupping Jungkook's face, tilted the older male's face down and planting a gentle kiss on his hair.

"Rest now hm? I'll join you to bed later." Jimin mumbled sweetly, Jungkook nodded along silently with closed eyes.

It wasn't long enough until Jimin join him to bed, Jungkook was fast asleep, back facing Jimin.

The younger male smiled and settles himself closely to Jungkook, wrapping his arms around him, completely spooning the older male.

"Sweet dreams, baby... we will be okay as long as we have each other."

Jimin whispers softly before closing his eyes, planting a soft kiss on Jungkook's shoulder.
