Chapter Nine
Third Person's POV
Jimin is awkwardly sitting across from him. Jungkook had brought the smaller male in a Milk Tea Shop, he mentioned that he want to know Jimin more hence he invited the smaller male for drink. Jungkook puts the tray on the table and gives Jimin his Milk Tea, Jimin only stared at the latter until he settles himself on his seat.
"Oh I bought these for you." Jungkook says, Jimin followed his movements as Jungkook took out a mini whiteboard with pen and erasure.
Jimin's expression instantly fell down while looking at the stuff Jungkook bought for him.
Jimin slowly clasped his hands gesturing the other male how sorry he was and slowly open his mouth to apologize,
"I'm sorry."
But it came out as a whisper, almost no sound coming out from his mouth, Jimin tries to say sorry again but Jimin isn't sure if the taller male heard him.
The taller male's face softens.
Jungkook didn't hear Jimin's voice that night and like everyone else Jungkook thought Jimin was mute. Jimin understood now where his kindness was coming from. Jimin knew it was out of pity but he didn't expect that Jungkook did all of these because he thought Jimin have disability.
Jimin smiled faintly, if Jungkook knew about him having no disability he will never treat Jimin the same way.
"Use this." Jungkook cuts in, Jimin accepts it.
"I'm 21 years old, how about you?" He starts, Jimin write down his answer and showed it to him, "23 y.o" Jungkook nod and sips his drinks.
"You're older than me, huh." Jungkook says chuckling and amused, "Wah, I did not expect this." He said and leaned backward against his chair, head shaking while looking at Jimin with interest.
"You're older than me yet stalking me? I deadass thought you're my hoobae since you acted like one." Jungkook continued in disbelief.
Jimin smiled in amusement and lowered down his head to hide his face. How will Jimin start this, how can he tell Jungkook that all this time he's thinking wrongly of Jimin.
"You know what's more surprising? Instead of stalking the popular ones, you chose to stalk me." Jungkook says eyes crinkling.
Did it touch his ego? Was he hinting Jimin that he's happy about knowing someone got interested on stalking him even though he's not popular? Jimin sip his drink, smiling.
Since Jungkook had helped him. Jimin will let this slide and will keep the whole truth from Jungkook. The smaller will let him think that he was indeed stalking Jungkook.
"Can you tell me the reason why did you do that?" Jungkook asked curious.
Jimin wrote down, "I saw you one time hanging with them and got curious." Jimin showed it to him and Jungkook nods as he read his response.
"You mean Namjoon and his other popular friends?" Jimin nodded his head, Jungkook smiled.
"So you're a little jealous about me hanging out with your favorite person? Tell me who among them?" Jungkook says encouraging the smaller and Jimin tilt his head in confusion.
"Namjoon is my cousin, don't worry about me." Jungkook says convincing Jimin, "I don't have a thing with any of them." Jungkook cleared out for him.
Jimin noticed, Jungkook is fond of judging and concluding things quickly. There were only halfway through the conversation and there's already misunderstanding.
"So, uh, you're in your last year?" Jungkook asked and Jimin nods.
Jungkook is looking at the latter expecting Jimin to ask him, Jimin notices and wrote his reply.
"You?"
"Thought you wouldn't ask, I'm in my 3rd year." Jimin nods and erase his whiteboard silently.
"I noticed you're always alone." Jimin stops in his track and nods again without glancing at the latter.
"I bet it's hard to find friends with your condition." Jungkook said to Jimin with careful tone as if it was a sensitive topic to talk about.
"Since it's your last year let's make it memorable." Jimin look up at him surprise Jungkook crack a smile, "And let's start it with building friendship with me." Jungkook suggested.
Jimin's eyes widened.
For the very first time, suddenly Jimin think of breaking the wall he had built. For the first time, he thinks of considering what Jungkook suggested a few awhile ago.
"Sounds fun right?" He asked Jimin grinning, the smaller's gaze drop.
Jimin was hesitant but he started writing anyway and showed it to him, "Can I think about it a little more?" Jungkook let out a soft, "Oh," before nodding his head still offering Jimin a smile.
"It's my bad for rushing things, how inconsiderate of me right? It must be uncomfortable for you." Jungkook says to the older male guiltily, Jimin panic and shook his head rapidly.
"You're worrying, I'm telling you, I'm fine with that." Jungkook explains to him but even with Jungkook convincing the older male, Jimin still felt he's wrong, he felt it was a wrong response.
No, Jimin wasn't wrong at all, if only he's talking to anyone and not Jungkook there is no way Jimin would question himself but because Jungkook is different even though Jimin knew it was his right to said those he felt it was off because of how Jungkook's expression fell down after hearing those.
This is Jimin's first, letting other person see how guilty he was, Jimin doesn't know why but with Jungkook he can't help but to show how he cares.
And all of those first times, he only felt it with Jungkook.
"Maybe your brother is already looking for you, I'll walk you home." Jungkook breaks their silence.
"No need."
"I insist." Jungkook said leaving no room for any argument.

Jimin faces him when they were already in front of his house. Jimin gave him a slight bow before looking into Jungkook's eyes. The taller ruffles Jimin's hair and smiled.
"You should get inside, I'll be heading back too." Jimin gave him a small smile before turning his back on him.
"See you tomorrow." Jungkook added.
Jimin walked inside and leaned his back against the door. He places his hand on top of his chest, feeling the way his heart beats crazily. Jimin can't hold back a smile recalling what Jungkook had said.
"See you tomorrow."
"Oh, Jimin!" Jimin flinches at the sound his Hyung made and straightened up himself, Seokjin arched his brow and looked at Jimin suspiciously.
"You're smiling and blushing." Seokjin pointed out.
Jimin immediately held his face, Jimin looked at Seokjin and saw how his lips curves into a smile.
"Something good happened in Uni?" He says pulling a silly face and Jimin didn't catch up, frowning at his older brother.
"Something... good happened?" Jimin asked.
Seokjin paused for a moment he looked surprise while looking at his younger brother. Jimin notices and got curious of the way his hyung was looking at him, Seokjin cleared out his throat.
"Y-yeah because you're happy right now." Seokjin explained stammering, Jimin only gave him a small smile and excuse himself.
"I'm going to my room, hyung."
And for the second time Seokjin was taken back. Seokjin heard him right, right?! Not just once but twice! Jimin even smiled at him!
Jimin gazed at his hyung strangely before he walked past him leaving him behind.
Jimin put his bag on his bed and sat down on the edge, recalling Seokjin's words.
Something good happened in Uni hence I'm happy?
Jimin flopped on his bed and sprawled himself. Jimin rolled his body onto the side, cheek pressed against the bed.
The blonde male smiled softly.
I'm happy and I know Jungkook was the reason behind this. I don't know exactly the reason but I am starting to grow fond of him.
Jimin doesn't know if it's because of how Jungkook treats him with kindness or was it because of his contagious smile. Whatever the reason was, Jimin genuinely enjoy Jungkook's precense.
Jimin's smile slowly fades away.
My happiness shouldn't depend on him right? I'm not supposed to let myself get close with him, I am not suppose to get use of us being together.
Like what I've said...
If you're alone, no one can hurt you. You can't feel attachment for other people and can't feel pain if they leaves you.
"Since it's your last year let's make it memorable and let's start it with building friendship with me."
Will Jungkook understand Jimin if the smaller rejects his offer?
