Chapter 39: What's wrong with You?

As Jimin remained laying on the bed, he reminisced on Jungkook's words. Of course, there was never a moment where Jimin couldn't stop thinking of the android. After Yoongi, Jungkook took over completely and filled the void that was once a cavity in Jimin's heart. He couldn't express how happy he was to finally begin moving on, but that only left him to fill his mind with the android he admired so much.

"He's getting attached to me... I never thought after doing something so intimate could form a bond between a human and an android," Jimin thought to himself and continued to look up at the ceiling. "Of course I wouldn't have known that before... I was never touched before, but now that I had my first time, I can understand the longing... the need and the warmth," Jimin continued on and closed his eyes when suddenly, Jungkook's bone-chilling gaze haunted his mind right after even when he closed his eyes to silence his thoughts. "Those eyes.... I get chills when I look into those eyes of his... Why does it feel so familiar and why does it intimidate me so much? It feels just like the-"

At that very moment, there was a knock at the door. After a while of not having anyone over but Jungkook, he didn't take long to realize that it must have been Taehyung at the door, if not him, then who? Jimin took a second before looking down and realizing that he was just in his underwear after taking a shower.

"I'll put on some clothes before Taehyung starts to think of other things," Jimin whispered before getting up to throw on his red sweater over his smaller frame, not noticing that the sweater couldn't cover the love bites Jungkook decorated along his neck.

By the time Jimin reached the door, he looked through the peephole and found Taehyung longing to knock again after the first few times. In a way, Jimin was happy to see the android after so long. He couldn't recall when was the last time he had him over for just a minute. With the unknown frequency causing so many issues and defects within the android, Jimin was certain that it wouldn't happen again.

With so much glee, he swung the door open happily and latched his eyes onto the tall creation with a smile.

"Taehyung, it's been a while!" Jimin said with so much excitement rushing through his body. "How have you been?"

"I've been well, Jimin," Taehyung responded, having so much information on his database, he longed to let Jimin know all about everything he found out just today concerning the other android. Yet, before he could touch on that subject, Taehyung's eyes fell over Jimin's face and down to his neck where love bites were. "I can tell you've been pretty busy!"

"What do you mean?"

Taehyung carefully ran his hand to rub the side of his own neck. Hinting that Jimin had something on his neck. The second Taehyung did this, Jimin's eyes widened almost instantly. Causing the human to step back and reach the nearest mirror as the creation stepped in and closed the door behind him, holding back the laughter he longed to let out after.

"I... I forgot I had that..." Jimin whispered as he turned his head, exposing the red over his cheeks instantly. "Sorry..."

"Don't apologize, I'm just glad you're bonding with a human at least! Is it someone I know?" Taehyung asked, leaving Jimin to raise a brow. "Someone I don't know?"

"I..."

"Not human? That's fine too!" Taehyung replied and watched as Jimin tilted his head and scratched the side of his neck awkwardly. "But you should know, androids tend to-"

"Get attached after a passionate intercourse especially if it's their first time, I know," Jimin replied and walked towards the couch where he sat down and continued to blush just talking about it. "It wasn't with a human, it was with an android and it was his first time too."

"First... time... with an android, so you two are bonded? Then where is he? Depending on his type, I can tell if he's going to be clingy with you or not, personally, I've never experienced it before, but I can tell you that-"

"Jungkook is at home, recharging," Jimin confessed. Ripping the bandaid off and preparing himself for anything Taehyung would say after. Hoping he wouldn't react negatively to the idea of him with an android he had yet to meet, but in reality, Taehyung knew so much more than what Jimin thought.

"Jeon Jungkook?" the creation asked as his eyes only blinked rapidly for a second at the sound of what Jimin said. With a nod of his head, he confirmed it and left Taehyung to bring up the data he had in his system from earlier concerning Jeon Jungkook.

"I know you said you will scan him and see if he isn't dangerous to me, but he isn't! He's the sweetest and I-"

"I can't scan him even if I wanted to, Jimin. I have a defect now, and I can't scan him no matter what," Taehyung answered. Beginning to pace around. "Jimin, I met Jungkook today... but even if I couldn't scan him, I noticed that he was very.... Different from me."

"Well, he isn't the same type as you, Taehyung. Jungkook is completely different, but that doesn't mean anything negative. He's been so sweet to me."

"I don't understand... you formed a bond with him already, yet you don't know what he hides," the tall creation mentioned and caused Jimin to raise a brow and feel a tug on his heart, tempting to drag it down after hearing what the android had to say. "You don't know what he is..."

"What do you mean? Why wouldn't I have formed a bond with him? There's nothing wrong with Jungkook, he's absolutely perfect. He's been so protective over me and sweet, how could you say that?"

"I don't understand at all..." Taehyung continued until he stopped pacing around before snapping his fingers right after. "Love... it tends to blind humans from seeing the flaws in their partners or crushes! That could be it... that could be the reason why you don't see anything wrong with him!"

"Taehyung, I don't like this... is there something you're not telling me?"

"I met Jungkook today, and I noticed that he was nowhere near to what I am nor what others are. This creation could think and write without a human being beside him, he could be jealous and envious... he could hold obsessions and observe things more than what meets the eye. He has something towards you, Jimin... and it's far beyond what love for a human is. It's more than the type of love an android could give to a human being, you should know that by now. The love Yoongi gave you was far different than this one..."

"I never formed a bond with Yoongi... we never got to that point in our relationship so, I wouldn't know how a normal android would behave after an attachment was formed. It's different for every creation out there, you don't know what you're talking about!" Jimin replied and became anxious after talking back to Taehyung like this again. Deep down, he was too scared to even learn about the truth Taehyung had to say. Was their friendship now consisting of the two fighting over Jimin's safety when it came to Jungkook now?

"Impossible, I do know what I am talking about Jimin. I don't want to argue with you, I just want to warn you, all I want to do is protect you..." Taehyung assured and sat next to Jimin before holding his hands within his own. Even through a disagreement, the upgrades Hoseok gave him never tended to hide as he exaggerated his emotions as if he was an actor on stage. This of course, left Jimin confused as he pulled his own hands back.

"Y-You don't have to, Taehyung. Jungkook will protect me. He's been protecting me from whatever has been watching me and I haven't gotten that feeling in forever, even if his eyes tend to intimidate me, everything else about Jungkook is good for me... he's here with me every day. I'm never alone."

"His existence towards you is dangerous. You may not see it now, but deep down you know. You even said it yourself, his eyes alone intimidates you... you know there's something wrong with the way he loves but you adore him too much, you don't see it as a flaw! That boy is envious... envious of the living. Please be aware of this, Jimin! I never met an android that longed to be human so badly, he observes the living and envies their every move, including yours!"

"I.." Jimin was speechless, of course, he didn't know what to say.

Surely he felt that Jungkook's way of affection was different from Yoongi's, but he never wanted to make Jungkook feel flawed by the only way he knew how to love, that creation was different so comparing him to Yoongi seemed unfair to Jimin. He never wanted to compare his partner to the past lover he took forever to put away.

"I don't think he envies the living, that doesn't sound like him at all. He's perfect just the way that he is, there's no way he thinks like that," Jimin replied and watched Taehyung tilt his head.

"Jimin, you're shooting down everything 'm telling you... your growing love for him is only blinding you. I don't expect you to process this now, but please keep these in mind when you're around him, my purpose is to protect you and keep you safe. Whatever he promised you when it came to protection, is hiding you from the world as he gets to keep you locked in here with him at all times! Mark my words, hear them and listen to them as I warn you now."

Everything Taehyung said sent shivers down Jimin's spine, yet, he couldn't believe it at all. He threw them back and forth in his head until he tried to plug it into every second he spent with Jungkook. But it was no use, he just had a hard time believing Jungkook envied his existence. Of course, with the growing love he had for his partner, there was no way he could see it as a flaw or anything that put him in danger. His head was still in the clouds for the one who became attached and repeated every beat of his heart.

"Taehyung, you... you need to get yourself checked..." Jimin whispered after Taehyung stated those warnings towards the human. "I don't know what you've seen but-"

"I'm telling you, I've been to his house, I've been by Hoseok, I've been in that room of Jungkook's and he has so many notes against his wall about you! Those notes contain how many seconds it takes for you to breathe, how much he wished he could do the same and-"

"Taehyung... have you lost your mind?" Jimin asked, finding this part of Taehyung's words unbelievable. Jungkook just didn't seem like the type that would do that in Jimin's perfect little world where the android was king of it all. "Are you even listening to yourself?"

"I know it all sounds too crazy to understand, but you have to believe me! I am incapable of making up these things because I can't think! You've known me longer than him... you have to understand my words, these are warnings, Jimin, I've seen it all with my own eyes! If you can't trust me, an android that has been with you from the very start, you will have to see it all yourself or maybe get into contact with Hoseok, he can-"

"Taehyung, stop!" Jimin spoke up and rubbed the side of his temple carefully. "You... you seem different, I never recalled you being too expressive about your words and emotions..."

"That's not important, what's important is-"

"Enough! I don't want to hear about it anymore... if Jungkook wanted to harm me, he would have done so already! He keeps me safe, isn't that what androids are supposed to do?" Jimin asked as he looked Taehyung in his eyes, starting to tear up right after. "I don't want to argue with you anymore, Taehyung... why do you tell me these unbelievable things about Jungkook?"

"I.... I can't do this. I will drop this now, I see that you don't like it..." Taehyung replied and looked away before standing up right after. "I'm leaving now. Sorry I bothered you, but please, keep my words in mind... and just know, for future references, I do it because I want to keep you safe," Taehyung concluded and began to walk towards the door and put his boots on. "By the way, it was never an argument. My warnings will never be an argument to you, Park Jimin. In time, you will realize it all on your own. I'm sorry I only did what I was programmed to do..."

With that, Jimin stood up and hoped to stop Taehyung from leaving, but the android had already placed his next destination in his data before walking out that door and closing it after. Making sure that he had the knob locked before he closed the door. This little action along with his words alone confirmed Jimin that the android only wanted to protect him, not cause any issues between the two.

After it all, Jimin sat back down onto the couch as a tear slid down his pink cheeks right after. Causing him to let out a sigh and keep his eyes locked onto the door far beyond him while keeping the words and Jungkook's image in mind.

"No matter what, I can't believe Taehyung's words when you're so loving towards me... but if all those words he said were true... if you are truly dangerous to me... then, why are you like that? What's wrong with you, Jungkook?" Jimin thought in his head as he continuously tried to dry his tears from his face. "What's wrong with you?"
