Chapter Fifty
Third Person's POV
"Hey, Namjoon!"
Namjoon is glued on his spot, phone closed to his ear as he stared at them, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Can I?"
Jungkook asked the smaller male. Jimin slowly closed his eyes and Jungkook brought his face closer, Namjoon averted his eyes because he couldn't bare to see what would happen next.
"Namjoon, you still there? Have you found him?"
Namjoon turned off the call and left that place. He drove as fast as he could get and stopped at a Park. He harshly hit the steering wheel and out of frustrations, he banged his head against it instead, cursing under his breath.
Namjoon couldn't believe what he saw and it was confusing him now. Aren't they on the same page? Jimin had given him a chance, went into dates, they even kissed, but what did he saw? Was Jimin only playing on him?
Namjoon couldn't bare the pain and let himself cry, he cried and hit the steering wheel again in his rage.

Jungkook pulled away, thumbing Jimin's cheeks and looked at him in the eyes. He carefully helped him get back on his feet and pulled him over the couch. The younger male accompanied him and guide him to sit down without taking his eyes off him. Jungkook smiled softly and held both of the older hands and looked down, his smile slowly disappears.
"Hyung," Jungkook called him and with the tone he is using, Jimin knew Jungkook had notice it. Jimin followed his gaze. There he saw the wounded area on his wrist, Jimin had slit himself but it's not that deep. When he heard Jungkook's voice, it made him stop from doing it. He hurriedly washed his wrist in the sink but the wound is still evident.
"Hyung," Jungkook looked at Jimin full of concern. Jimin pulled his hands away from Jungkook and moves away from him.
"You're wrong, no, it's not what you think." Jimin chatters and averted his eyes. "Hyung--" Jimin snaps at him angrily.
"Please, whatever you're thinking right now, drop it." Jimin says exasperatedly. He stood up from his seat and turned his back to Jungkook, he nervously folded his arms and started biting his nail.
"Go home," Jimin tells him, pushing Jungkook away, with his shaky voice. "We'll just talk some other day." He convinces him. Jimin closed his eyes as he felt Jungkook's arms wrapped around him.
"No," Jungkook whispered shaking his head, Jimin inhaled sharply and opened his eyes.
"I didn't do it." Jimin lies, "You're wrong, I won't do that to myself." Jimin said on the verge of crying, Jungkook knew it was a lie. "I won't do that just because my older brother left me, n-not because of you, did you hear that? I-I won't end my life just because I'm alone, because I'm always left alone, no, so p-please, if you can't believe what I'm saying you can just leave!" Jimin says stuttering and he was now shaking, Jungkook pressed his eyes shut and tightened his hug on the smaller male.
"You didn't," Jungkook said voice wavering, his chest tightening, what if he was too late and the smaller already took his own life before he could even hold him like this? He felt his tears fall, only now he realized that he was crying. He swallowed and spoke again to calm Jimin down. "Of course, you wouldn't. I believe you." Those words are too heavy for Jungkook. It hurt so much, he didn't think that the pain he had caused Jimin would lead into this.
Jungkook chose to believe his lies to accompany him. He was afraid that if he leaves it would be too late for him. He hugged Jimin tightly and placed his forehead on the smaller male's shoulder.
"I'm sorry." Jungkook apologizes, Jimin felt his shirt getting soak in Jungkook's tears. He closed his eyes, covered his face and cried as well.

Jungkook tucked him in the bed, Jimin looked at him and smiled at Jungkook even though his eyes seemed to be falling. Jungkook sat on the edge of the bed while he adjusted the blanket.
"Jungkook-ah," Jimin mutters softly, Jungkook hummed as he make sure Jimin is not cold. Jimin smiled faintly, he felt really thankful towards the younger because Jungkook came when he really needs him.
"Thank you." Jimin said sincerely, a smile appeared in the younger's lips. He took the smaller male's right hand and held it, he caressed it softly even though it was still wrapped with a bandage and finally looked into Jimin's eyes. Jungkook shook his head, Jimin closed his eyes smile still painted in his lips.
Jimin drifted off to sleep, he looked really peaceful and the young man was relieved. Jungkook averted his gaze from him and looked at Jimin's bandaged wrist, his smile slowly fades away as sadness took in.
Jungkook brought his face closer and placed Jimin's hand on his cheek, he leaned into his touch.
Jimin-hyung, I'll make it up to you.
I promise.

Jimin woke up as he felt something heavy. He frowned and looked down, slowly a growing smile appears on his lips. Jungkook's head was lying on his stomach, he is lying on his sides and was turning his back on Jimin hence he couldn't see his face.
Jimin softly rubs Jungkook's hair, he's sleeping soundly. Jimin smiled and closed his eyes, hand still on top of the younger's head.
The second time Jimin woke up, he felt someone staring at him. He opened his eyes and saw Jungkook staring at him, he is laying down with his stomach flat on the bed, both palms rested against his face.
"Don't stare at me like a creep." Jimin joked and hid his face with a blanket, Jungkook chuckles and sits up properly.
"Hyung, I'm hungry."
Jimin lowered down the blanket and anxiously looked at the young man, Jungkook is pouting right now and his eyes were begging for food. Jungkook is the cutest person that he ever laid his eyes on, Jimin was holding his laugh as he looked at the younger, he got up immediately and sat down.
"Yah, how old are you?" Jimin asked him with a wide smile, "What are you, a kid? You should cook if you're hungry you shouldn't wait for another person to cook for you. If you don't want to cook then there's another way, you have money on you, you could've just order food." Jimin preached to him, the young man just smiled at him.
"For someone who just woke up, you chatter a lot." Jungkook said, looking at him fondly, amazed at Jimin's talkativeness. Jimin suddenly fell silent there and suddenly blushed.
Jungkook pinched the smaller nose, "I already ordered," he said keeping an eye contact with Jimin, "Move now and let's eat." He trailed off while smirking and Jimin blushed even more at what he said.
Jimin walked to the Kitchen and everything was ready, Jungkook was standing while tapping the chair where Jimin would sit. A smile was drawn on the young man's lips and he hurried to sit there.
After they ate, they both cleaned up even though Jimin told him that he can do it alone, the younger male did not listen to him stubbornly. Jimin took the wipes and notices how that he was following him, Jimin was puzzled but ignores it.
He went back to the dining table and gently wiped it. The young man was next to him and he was just watching what he was doing. Brushing that off, Jimin walked over the sink and threw the used wipes in the trashcan and washed his hands right after, he let out a small gasp as he felt Jungkook wrap his arms around his stomach.
"You're done?" Jungkook asked softly, smelling Jimin's soft hair. Jimin turned off the sink, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Yah, who told you to follow me?" He asked.
"I want to take a rest, with you."
"Alright, I'm done." Jungkook pulls away and Jimin admits that he was a bit disappointed with the loss of his touch. Jungkook grabbed his cold hand and yank him.
They both took a shower, Jimin used the other room's bathroom while Jungkook used his bathroom that was located inside his room.
After showering and changing, Jimin went back inside his room. He saw Jungkook sitting on the edge of the bed, typing on his phone. He immediately stopped walking and Jimin was suddenly insecure with what he saw. Has Jungkook ended his relationship with his girlfriend or is he just looking for a timing for that and they are still talking even though Jungkook is obviously with him right now?
When Jungkook looked at him and met his eyes, he immediately averted his eyes and was about to leave the room when Jungkook suddenly called out to him.
"Hyung, I was letting them know that I already found you. They were worried about you." Jimin felt himself get embarrassed because of that. Was he so obvious that Jungkook immediately sensed his worries?
He looked at Jungkook, he was still staring at him, Jimin smiled.
"I'll just get something real quick." He reasoned out and was about to walk away, "Hyung, I won't do anything that will hurt you, again. I just want to let you know that." Jungkook assured him. Jimin looked at him again and nodded his head politely.
"I'll be back." Jimin promised him, Jungkook smiled at him and that's a sign for Jimin to leave.
He really had no reason to leave but he couldn't help but feel guilty. He wanted it but when it hit he had actually made the younger choose, he felt himself being swallowed by shame.
When he calmed down, he immediately went back to his room. He found him there in the same position where he left him earlier, he had his head hang low and seemed to be waiting for his return. Jungkook whipped his head almost immediately, he smiled, relief.
Jimin hurried over and sat down next to Jungkook, he patted the younger's thigh. "Why are you still sitting here?" He asked and stared at him in the eyes.
"Waiting for you." Jungkook answered casually, Jimin pulled his brows together as he notices his wet hair.
"It's bad to sleep with wet hair."
"Let me dry it for you." He said and stood up. He pulled Jungkook and made him sit him on the edge of the bed near his study table.
He took the hair dryer and turned it on. He carefully dried the younger's hair. Jungkook is smiling, eyes are closed.
"This is good." Jungkook complimented, "Ah, I might just doze off." Jimin just smiled as he listen to him talk.
"All done." Jimin said, turning his back on him and placing the hair dryer on the table.
Jungkook climbed on the bed and made himself comfortable, Jimin faces him and saw Jungkook tapping the bed, inviting Jimin. The smaller climb on the bed and move over, Jimin laid his head on the younger's arm. Jungkook was looking up at the ceiling, while Jimin was on his right side, staring at the younger. Jungkook rolled over his left side and stared at him as well.
They are staring at each other and no one dares to look away. Jimin slowly touched the young man's cheek. Jungkook's lips twitches upward and touched Jimin's waist at the same time he brought his face closer, pressed their foreheads together and both closes their eyes.
