Eighteen
This is an early chapter dedicated to Hoseok aka Jhope, my bias wrecker. Happy Birthday to you. I love you so much even though you have no idea I even exist....sigh
Yoongi lingered in front of Hoseok and his room. He felt awkward because of what he was about to do but everyone was angry at him for being rude to Hoseok so he had to swallow his pride and approach his enemy.
"Hey!" He finally said to the other boy as soon as he entered but recieved a cold shoulder in response. Hoseok was throwing some things into a bag, his face contorted in suppressed anger.
"Hey Hoseok!" he whispered again.
"What?" The other boy finally barked turning around to face him with an angry glare in his eyes.
"Can we talk?" Yoongi said moving closer to him. Hoseok heaved running a hand through his hair.
"Be quick. I want to move in with Jin"
Yoongi nodded. "Okay then, I'm sorry"
Hoseok dimmed his eyes. "This is a first. You've always been an asshole Yoongi not just to me but to everyone around you"
Yoongi frowned "I know and I realize that especially after I saw how worried you were about me"
Hoseok blushed, pretending not to care
"Worried? I just felt bad because I was responsible for what happened to you"
A wide smirk suddenly appeared on Yoongi's lips.
"I don't think that's the case" He whispered.
Hoseok stared at him noticing the glimmer in his eyes "What do you mean?"
Yoongi was now so close to him. He reached out to touch Hoseok's arm. He held him gently and the younger shivered under his touch.
"I know...." he smirked "that you still love me"
Hoseok angrily pushed him away.
"What the hell!" He yelled but Yoongi grabbed his arm again this time maintaining a strong grip.
"Don't deny it. We keep playing this push and pull game but you know the truth. That's why you were hurt by how I spoke to you... it's because you still haven't forgotten about me"
Hoseok lowered his gaze and turned his face away from him. "Get away from me" he whispered.
"I don't think I can because somehow, we always end up together" he whispered hovering his lips over Hoseok's. The younger's eyes widened and his lips parted by itself.
"Yoongi....you can't just" he muttered but was cut short by Yoongi's lips on his. It was full of passion and lust as their tongues glided against each other. Hoseok found himself gripping the back of Yoongi's hair as he pressed himself closer to his body. How much he had missed this asshole but the moment was cut short when they heard someone shouting madly outside the house.
They quickly separated still a bit dazed by the kiss and ran out of the house. Jin, Namjoon and Jungkook along with Sana where outside watching Jimin riding a bicycle like a mad man towards them with Taehyung looking unconscious behind him.
Jimin didn't know how he had managed to drag Taehyung's bleeding body to the bicycle. He had pulled off his shirt and fastened it around them before taking off at high speed.
Taehyung was loosing too much blood and he was afraid....so afraid. He arrived back at the village ten times faster than how he and Taehyung had left while at the same time, shouting at the top of his voice.
"Help! Help!"
Everyone had rushed out of the house. Namjoon's eyes widened as soon as he saw Taehyung.
"What happened to him?" he screamed staring accusatorily at Jimin.
Jimin cowered. "We were attacked by hoodlums at the tower" He answered.
Namjoon seemed to relax a bit when Jin touched his arm. Jin and Sana helped Namjoon unstrap Taehyung from Jimin.
"Hoodlums?" Sana whispered. Jimin nodded, tears streaming down his face. "Taehyung was trying to protect me from them. He beat them all but one of them shot him"
Everyone gasped.
"We can't waste time. He's loosing a lot of blood. Let's get him inside" Sana yelled.
"He's so lucky he's still alive" Jungkook whispered and Jimin stared at him.
While they were carrying Taehyung inside, Baekhyun and Chanyeol appeared looking stressed out.
"What happened?" Baekhyun said
" You said that the tower was safe" Jimin yelled at them.
"It was but I guess those thieves resurfaced again. We all thought they had gone" Chanyeol said but Jimin just scoffed. He didn't really care about their explanation. He knew they weren't really to blame but he felt terrible right now.
He just walked past them and entered the house to join the others. Sana had done a good job cleaning up the wound but the problem was the bullet which was deeply lodged near Taehyung's spinal cord. Any minor mistake and Taehyung might not be able to walk again.
They had to call a doctor to remove the bullet but there was only one doctor in the village and he was attending to another sick patient which meant he was going to take a few hours to arrive.
Jimin was anxious. It was obvious Taehyung was going to die before the doctor came and there was nothing he could do about it.
The rest left them alone in the room as night was drawing near. Taehyung's breathing was heavy and his skin white. It was almost as if he was already dead. Jimin took his hand and massaged it. He couldn't understand his feelings. He had never felt this confused in his entire life. Regret flowed through his heart as so many memories passed through his mind but most of it were about Taehyung. Sitting there with the windows open and the breeze blowing all around them, Jimin suddenly came to the conclusion that he cared about Taehyung, much more than he would like to admit and he realized it didn't start now but since five years ago. Since that night in his room, that night they had almost kissed, that night he had confided in him about his epilepsy. That night he had also betrayed him. Taehyung had unknowingly planted himself deep into his heart but over the years, he had managed to remove some roots but not all and now they had replanted themselves back and ever so strongly.
No, he couldn't let him die. He had to do something and there was only one person who could help him.
Jungkook was standing behind the house at that very spot where Jimin had confronted him the day before. Jimin sighed deeply as soon as he saw him.
"Please help me" He whispered.
Jungkook looked at him and smiled a little. "I knew you would ask but I'm sorry I can't do that. I can't interfere in the fate of humans"
Jimin was quite shocked "But you are an angel. You have the power to heal him. You did the same with Yoongi" he yelled.
Jungkook sighed. "I healed Yoongi because I was responsible for what happened to him but I had nothing to do with Taehyung getting shot. It was his own fate. So his life is in his own hands"
Jimin stared at him in disbelief. "You are unbelievable. So you will just let him die when you have the power to help him"
Jungkook said nothing looking deep in thought as he bit his lips. Jimin shook his head wiping the tears away from his eyes
"What an angel you are" He said bitterly and turned around to leave.
"Wait!" Jungkook shouted and he stopped walking, turning round to look at him with hope shining in his eyes. Jungkook averted his gaze looking embarrassed.
"I can't heal him but I can reduce his pain. Delay his dying process until the doctor comes to take out the bullet. If he lives or dies. It's his destiny"
Jimin beamed so brightly and Jungkook was a bit shook by it. He ran to him and hugged him.
"Thank you Jungkook. That's more than enough"
He smiled brighter and ran off. Jungkook looked after him surprised at himself. He had never felt guilty for anything he did. He hadn't really cared if Taehyung died because his death was also another way the cupid would leave his body but he's an angel so of course he couldn't descend to such level but after seeing the look in Jimin's eyes, the desperation in them to save Taehyung, he began to wonder what made Jimin worried. He began to wonder why humans were such complicated beings.
He was a cupid angel yet he didn't really understand much of human emotions. He walked to the room and for some seconds watched Jimin staring at Taehyung.
He could feel the love in the air. He could sense the growing love in Jimin's heart that even he was unaware of. He shook his head because he knew they were never meant to be and their story was only going to end in heartbreak
Jimin got up as soon as he saw him. He nodded and quietly went to Taehyung. He placed his hand on his head and muttered his prayer for healing as a blue light shone through his hand. He finally retracted his hand, the light vanished and Taehyung opened his eyes.
Jimin rushed to Taehyung and gripped his hand tightly.
"You're awake" he muttered.
Taehyung smiled at him and he smiled back. Jungkook just stared at the two of them lost in their own world.
"Thank you" Jimin mouthed to him and he left feeling heavy in his heart. Was he feeling guilty about what he was doing? Using them for his own selfish reason? He didn't know.
The doctor finally arrived and immediately attended to Taehyung. The operation lasted an hour. The bullet was finally removed and Taehyung was bandaged up.
He was going to live. Everyone was overjoyed with the news. It had been so close but Taehyung was out of danger
"Thanks for not dying on us man" Namjoon said. Taehyung just nodded with a smile.
"We need to get the hell out of this place. Ever since we've been here, our lives have been at risk" Yoongi said and everyone shot him a glare and he shifted in discomfort. Sana, Baekhyun and Chanyeol just shook their heads.
Jin shook his head. "You're so ungrateful" He muttered.
Taehyung cleared his throat to gain all their attention "Em...everyone, can you please leave me alone with Jimin? I need to talk with him"
There was a sudden awkward silence as they all looked at each other.
Sana smiled at Taehyung. "Okay then, we'll leave you. Please rest. You need it"
She turned to the others. "Come on, let's leave them alone "
They mumbled reluctantly and left one by one leaving just the two of them. The younger was lying sideways because of his back. Taehyung finally looked deeply at Jimin and he blushed.
"You were worried weren't you?" he whispered.
"Of course I was, I thought you were going to die"
He grinned. "I'm sure you're happy I didn't die"
Jimin just looked away hoping his nervousness wasn't showing.
"Come here...." Taehyung whispered and Jimin stared at him wide eyed.
"What?"
But Taehyung took his hand and grabbed him to his side so that he was lying beside him face to face. His heart was beating so fast looking into the eyes of the person that was slowly making a place for himself in his heart.
"Jimin?"
"Yes?"
"I love you"
And that was the right moment for a kiss that Jimin would remember for the rest of his life.
Done with this chapter. What do you think?
