Chapter Twenty Three
Third Person's POV
"Hi, Seokjin-hyung." Jungkook greeted. Seokjin smiled, staring amusedly at the younger male. To his surprise, Jungkook even brought a box of donuts with him, he even know what Jimin likes. Interesting, he said internally.
"You came here for Jiminie, right?" Seokjin asked, testing the younger, you could also tell by the sound of his voice that he's truly happy upon seeing the younger male. This is the first time someone visited his younger brother after hearing the news that Jimin got hurt. Seokjin is highly touched, hence he's overjoyed right now.
"Where is he?" Jungkook asked. Oh! The older male thought and laughed loudly, Jungkook look puzzled but he isn't saying anything, if anything he's concern if he could see Jimin at this rate, his brother seemed unwell. Seokjin tap the young man's shoulder, Jungkook is utterly loss.
"Come on, don't rush. You missed him that bad?" Seokjin joked and Jungkook only smiled at him, Seokjin is really the complete opposite of his younger brother. Seokjin smile reaches his ears and motioned the younger to get inside.
"He's inside his room. I think you already know where his room at, just go." Seokjin said with a playful tone. Jungkook gave him a nod and walked past the older. Seokjin's gaze followed him, moving his body to face the younger male.
"Silence means yes, right?" Seokjin asked while touching his chin, "Hm, right, that's it." He continued while nodding, eyes still glued on Jungkook. "Not bad, he's a brother-in law material, he has my vote!" Seokjin bubbles.
"What are you bubbling about?" Seokjin flinches and yell out. "Aish! Seriously, you startled me!" He complained slapping Taehyung's chest. Seokjin's eyes widened at the hardness of his chest and stared down at his own hands.
"You must be working hard." Seokjin moved his hands up and down, not wasting his chance. Taehyung rolled his tongue against the inside of his cheek, grinning from ear to ear. Very satisfied, Seokjin's compliments, makes him want to boast. He raises his eyebrow and asked:
"Why? You like this? I am yours, so you can have me all you want." Taehyung half-joked. Seokjin laughed before pushing the younger one.
"What are you doing here?"
"Why? You don't want me here?" He asked instead. Seokjin hit his head.
"I am asking you idiot."
"Ugh, Hyung, that hurts!"
"Then you should've answered instead of asking!" Seokjin scolded him. Taehyung touches the part where Seokjim hit him and went all pout.
"I can't believe the person I like, hit me." Taehyung mumbled disappointed. Taking Seokjin's hit to the heart.
"Huh? H-hey, you, I didn't even..." Seokjin trailed off and stared at him in disbelief. "...hit you that hard." Seokjin almost whispered but when he realized how sad the younger was, he felt guilty.
"H-hey, come here." Seokjin said gesturing Taehyung to get closer but the latter only ignored him, moving away. Taehyung got all dramatic after receiving a light hit from the older.
"Taehyung-ah," Seokjin called softly. Slowly moving closely, he held Taehyung's hands and lowered down his head, to meet Taehyung's gaze because he had his head down.
"Sorry." Seokjin mumbled apologetic as he met with Taehyung's eyes.
"If only you'll kiss where you hit then I might," Taehyung said and stared at Seokjin deeply and with intention. "Feel better." Seokjin sighed, grab Taehyung's face and kiss his forehead.
Taehyung immediately grab Seokjin's waist and pulled him closely.
"H-hey, what do you think you're doing?"
"Hyung, don't move, it's warm, I don't feel cold anymore." Seokjin immediately stop.

Jimin put down the book he was reading when the door opened. He took off his reading glasses and leaned against the heard board, closing his eyes. He hated how persistent his Hyung was, he's hard headed and stupid too, that irritates Jimin even more.
"I told you, I want to be alone." Jimin said annoyance laced in his voice, refraining himself from shouting at his brother. Jungkook was startled and looked confused for a moment.
"I'm still annoyed, I'm dead serious."
"Ah, thinking about Jungkook said I like him, upset me more."
"I knew it from the start, I'm never going to like him. Taehyung is a two faced man." Jimin waited for a respond but there's none, Jimin feels like he's burning with anger now. He clenched his jaw, completely annoyed of Hyung's silent treatment.
"Why are you silent? Go ahead and defend him all you want." Jimin finally turn his head to look over his Hyung and his eyes widened as if he saw a ghost.
Jungkook is standing in the front door staring right at him. It was Jungkook and not his Hyung. Jungkook heard him, Jungkook already know his secret, the older studied the younger's face, he has this long and straight face that Jimin can't read, it's tearing Jimin apart.
Jimin felt his eyes stings and turned away. He doesn't know what to do. What is he even supposed to do? Jimin nervously grab his blanket and cover himself. He can't face Jungkook, he's too ashamed. Jimin considered confessing, he seriously thought about it, he should've done it sooner instead of being exposed. How could he face the person who cared and only showed him kindness after being exposed of pretending to have disability?
Jimin was lost in his thoughts, didn't even notice how Jungkook sat down, facing him. The cover was pulled down and he was met with Jungkook's gaze, the younger male was smiling right at him.
"Ah, why? I thought you sounded cute earlier, go and talk about Taehyung, I'm please to hear more." Jimin frowned debating if he heard it right. Jimin realizes how he was holding his breath until now.
"Especially when you utter my name." Jimin frowned deepened. This is not the reaction that he was expecting from him. He expected him to be upset, get mad at him.
Jimin lied about being mute, though he didn't said it himself he let them think that way and that's make him a liar. Jungkook should lash out on him for lying, Jimin was wrong. Jungkook was nice to him yet he took advantage of it, Jungkook is behaving as if it was nothing and that's not right.
Jimin is looking for answers right into his eyes, he was digging for an answer yet the only thing he got was...
Jungkook's concerned expression.
"How's your knee?" Jungkook asked, Jimin stayed silent. He's looking at Jungkook curiously, he's confused. Jungkook tilt his head to the side, confuse as well, he was expecting an answer but Jimin won't give him that.
"I heard you got into trouble because of Kkyu?" Jimin's face lit-up at the mention of his pet. He averted his gaze and looked over his pet. Jimin smiled, just by the thought of his pet minding his own business inside.
"Kkyu... is right there." He whispered audibly, Jungkook followed where Jimin was looking. He laughed and shook his head.
"That's not what I've asked." Jimin paused and awkwardly laugh. He shifted his gaze to the younger but gazed away quickly as soon as their eyes met. Jimin heard the taller male chuckle and Jimin felt embarrassed, rosy cheeks starts to bloom.
"I'm good, actually, it's not that bad either, Hyung tend to overreact. He forbids me to attend my classes."
"I see," Jungkook said, Jimin nodded.
"Do you..." Jimin trailed off with hesitancy, "Uh," He scratches his neck, head turning to the cage, "...want to meet Kkyu?" Jimin waited for his response and when he got none, he slowly faced Jungklook. The latter notices and stared back at him.
"Yeah, sure." Jungkook smiled and the smaller felt a pang inside his chest. It didn't feel right, Jimin adores Jungkook's smile a lot, because he could feel his sincerity behind those smile. But now, Jimin felt as if Jungkook... was faking it...
Jungkook is nice, that's given. It appears, he's not really okay about all of these yet he was holding in, just so he doesn't get to hurt Jimin's feelings... right?
"He's cute."
Jimin blinked his eyes, Jungkook was already out of his sight. He turned to look where he placed the cage.
"This is strange," Jungkook mumbled. "I fed him yet he is ignoring me." He continued with a pout turning his head to look at Jimin.
"Just... so you," Jungkook trailed off, "I was nice yet you..." Jungkook looks away face darkened and pat the rabbit's head.
"...lied." cold runs down to his spine, staring at Jungkook with wide gaze.
