Chapter 40: Understanding You

       "K-Kim… Taehyung?" Jungkook repeated and thought to himself. The name didn't seem familiar to Jungkook as he sat over the bed. Looking at the ground and shaking his head. "No… No, sorry I don't know anyone by that name." Jungkook confessed as Jimin only tilted his head and gazed at the younger after. "Why are you looking at me like I know?"

        "Because I don't believe you…" Whispered Jimin as Jungkook then rose a brow. "Taehyung came to my office today and he told me things I didn't expect from you. He said that you met him at the club and since he didn't want to dance with you… You pushed him into a room and began to beat him up! Thinking he was a spy!" Jimin rose his voice as he began to scold Jungkook with his many words.

         "Do you really believe that Jimin?!" Jungkook shouted back and stood up. "I can't believe you aren't taking my side! After all we've been through? I don't know who this man is!" Jungkook shot back, yet Jimin only scoffed and looked away. "Jimin… why would I lie to you?"

         "Don't talk to me in that sweet voice… The way that boy cried in front of me… It left me believing everything and of course… Your behavior alone was enough to support it. Jungkook, I don't like this side of you! It's making me feel like you've done too many things to others… Let alone, a little bird told me back then, you used to be unstable. You can't lie to me and say that wasn't you!" Jimin brought in many things as he told Jungkook off. Making the younger have anger pump through his blood over and over again.

          "That was the type of person I was back then but I can assure I never brought anyone in a room to beat them up! Jimin, I swear!" Jungkook hissed as Jimin shook his head. Denying Jungkook and that allowed Jungkook's darkside to come right out. "FINE THEN, IF YOU WANT TO FUCKING BELIEVE SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME, WHY DON'T YOU GO AND BE WITH TAEHYUNG?" Jungkook exploded with rage as he approached Jimin and grabbed him by the arm. "Go be with him…." Uttered the younger into a hiss while his grip around Jimin's wrist grew tighter until Jimin pulled his hand back and pushed Jungkook with all he could. Getting the younger's attention so suddenly.

          "JUST STOP IT! H-Hurting me isn't going to make me believe you!" Cried Jimin as he shoved Jungkook once more. Breaking into tears after feeling Jungkook's tight grip around his wrist as if he was going to slap him in seconds. "How could you tell me to be with another? I hate this side of you!" As Jimin broke down into tears, he watched Jungkook pant in anger and lose some steam silently to himself. "I love you… But all you do is make me rethink that when you show me this side of you and I'm scared!" Jimin couldn't keep himself silent as all his feelings poured out. Crying to Jungkook so helplessly. "I didn't have any choice to believe you did this since you act like you have no control over yourself!"

       "Jimin-"

        "No, You listen to me now. Don't try anything to steer my thoughts away. These feelings of yours… You're constantly haunted by them and they came from the death of your brother. That grief became anger and revenge, now look at you! You're destructive to the point where you'd hurt me like this… only because I accused you… I wonder… What would happen to me if I chose to leave you… What would you do to me then?" Jimin concluded and dried the tears over his eyes. Just after, Jungkook only looked away. The young man didn't know what to say but just feel as if Jimin lacked trust in him.

          "I just…. I just got so angry… I got angry because of the fact that you sound like you don't trust me. Has my behavior really left you to think less of me? You hear an accusation and you believe it?! I don't understand you… I was such a bad person back then… But I would never pull someone into a room just to beat them up. You know me better than anyone else!" Jungkook confessed as Jimin was left to dry his own tears repeatedly. It wasn't until silence drowned them where they stood and Jungkook sat over the bed once more. After a good while of exchanging nothing but sniffles and sharp exhales that echoed Jimin's tears, Jungkook suddenly began to cry up. This time, it was real. "Leave me…" Jungkook suddenly sobbed and that left Jimin's eyes to blow wide. "I'm going to hurt you either way…"

          "No…"

          "Can't you hear? LEAVE ME!" The younger yelled and cupped his own face after yelling at his lover to leave. It took so much to say those words and Jimin felt them deep down. Jimin also noticed this side of Jungkook was also different, Jungkook wasn't playing around with fake tears like last time. "Why is our love… So toxic…? What did I do to our relationship? What did I do… to you?" Cried the younger as he looked back at Jimin stand there in silence. "You didn't ask for this at all… A toxic relationship… That's what we are. There is no love! All there is here… is our poison and it's my fault." As Jungkook blamed himself for everything, Jimin slowly made his way to his lover and sat next to him and slowly reached for his hand to hold. "You don't listen to me when I tell you to leave… But you'll listen to my issues. What can I give you in return? My busy mind and sex? That's all we do… and I hate myself for it. You're all I have and yet again, I'm not good enough to keep you. We are too toxic… when you discovered the fact that I was in a gang, you told me you didn't care and wanted to stay with me...why? How could you do this to yourself?"

     "Jungkook… I did it for you… Only you." Jimin whispered and that's when Jungkook shook his head and looked away.

      "You told me… 'If you're my drug… Intoxicate me…' Did you really think it would be the start of something so innocent? I'm not good enough for my precious Swan… just like the fact that I wasn't good enough for my brother." Jungkook whispered with all the pain in his heart. Jimin allowed the boy to vent out as he held Jungkook's hand in between his own hands and pressed his forehead against Jungkook's.

       "You are good enough… We're just having an argument, it doesn't mean I won't love you… but that other side of you… I just don't like it. I tried to love it but I can't. If do love it, you'll end up hurting me whenever you want to and say it's just love when it's really not. That side of you is making our relationship toxic." Jimin claimed. Believing this was it. "Let's talk about this… No sex… No kisses. Let's just talk. Okay? Work through this together but of course, work towards our new goal. Getting you professional help soon."

        "Alright…" Jungkook answered and laid back against the bed and faced the ceiling as Jimin got up just to turn off the lights. Returning quickly just to lay right by his side. "You're right about how this behavior grew… It was the anger and long of revenge I had deep down when I saw my brother die before me. It has never left me alone and now these raw and horrible thoughts haunt me. I'm haunted with them and I just can't rest Jimin. At times, it gets out of control and I scream at others and give them a hard time but, I can assure you I never beat up such a helpless man like Taehyung alone in a room. The only people I hurt is bad people when I'm doing missions in the gang. However, I did hurt you and the second I did… it suddenly seemed like a relief to me!" Jungkook spoke of how this side of him was born. Of course, bottling in his grief and anger turned into something he wasn't capable of living with. Jungkook was haunted by his anger and yearned for revenge. Hoping if he could kill to avenge his brother, it would go away. "I didn't mean to hurt you…"

       "I know you didn't… That's why I'm going to help you. You won't have to go through this alone and when you get professional help, this side of you will be no more. We will be a happy couple again. Our relationship won't be toxic and our love will never be spelt under the same word as poison. You'll never lose me, Jungkook…"

       "I'm afraid of letting you leave me too. If you leave me, it will feel like losing my brother. Such an off thing… That night was the last night I saw him and then… I couldn't see his face after the ambulance came. The next day he was sent to the morgue… Dead and out of my life. I-I couldn't even see his face in the funeral. The casket was closed and it was the worst feeling ever." Cried Jungkook and covered his teary eyes with his arm over it completely. "But… He was the best brother I could ever ask for… Jeon Jung-Hyun. I looked up to him so much, I felt as if he didn't like me back since I kept weighing him down in the company. He was so stressed and now, I feel his pain. At times, I wonder… If he didn't die, I would never know what he had to go through. Especially when the company went into debt at the time and he masked away his pain with a smile. I wanted to be just like him."

         "I could see you two were close and I can feel how much pain that put you in when your brother was getting beaten to death… I'm sorry." Jimin whispered and held Jungkook's hand to his. Understanding his lover's pain as they cuddled over the bed right after. "You're just misunderstood… But that doesn't mean you shouldn't seek help. Don't rely on me entirely because I can't cure you in a professional way." Whispered the older as Jungkook smiled and nuzzled his face against Jimin's neck. "I'm not skilled to help you like that, my love… But what I can do is cheer for you, hear you out, and support you… That's okay, isn't it?"

       "Yes… Yes, that's all I want and need…" Jungkook whispered as Jimin felt his lover's tears against his neck just to smile happily. "I love you… I don't want you to leave… I don't want you to go to him and love him… I love you and that's all you need. Okay?" Jungkook whispered and made Jimin let out a giggle and nod his head before kissing his forehead. "Now, I guess I'll search for a therapist tomorrow for help and I promise you I'll get better."

        "Of course you will. That's the Jungkook I know and love…" Jimin whispered. Caressing Jimin's hair back and kissing the top of his head silently. As the two took a short moment to rest in silence, Jungkook rose his head and looked at Jimin happily. "What do you want, now? Don't tell me you want to fuck at this hour…"

        "No… Let's go for a swim. We haven't been in it for quite a while. Last time we went in was about two weeks ago? I didn't have to work for the day." Stated the younger as Jimin smiled and giggled once more. "Come on… you can't be that tired… Let's go relax!" Jungkook continued to suggest until Jimin stood up to stretch. As the two changed into their bathing suits, Jimin wore short swimming briefs and freely walked with it as he carried a towel. Along with Jungkook, the younger wore red bathing shorts for the night swim and showed off his perfectly toned body to Jimin.

       As they made it outside, Jungkook removed the cover over the pool, snatched the towels from Jimin and stood in front of him so teasingly. Causing Jimin to giggle and shove him back. "Stop it, Jungkook! You'll make me fall." Giggled the man as Jungkook only tilted his head and hugged Jimin close. Hearing him laugh happily until he pushed him into the water and hugged him close. The way they played with each other, made their argument from earlier seem to fade away like nothing happened. Jimin was glad to say that this moment with Jungkook felt the brightest. The couple spent time together after a long day and a deep argument that had before.

         Jungkook kissed Jimin as the older hooked his arms over Jungkook's shoulders. Smiling happily as Jungkook kissed his lover on the lips repeatedly. Having Jimin feel the lip piercing against his own lip. Silence swarmed around them as the only sound that could be heard was the crickets chirping while the moon beamed down it's blue light over the couple so perfectly. Even if they argued, Jimin just wanted to fill his mind with all the glee that would come to them soon. Jungkook was going to seek help for his dark past that troubled him and Jimin was very supportive about that. Although, one question still remains… If Jungkook confessed he never hurt Taehyung at the end, then who did?
