Nineteen
Jimin woke up early. Taehyung was still heavily asleep when he met Sana in the kitchen. He pleaded with her to help him prepare breakfast for Taehyung. She hid a smile.
"Of course, but you'll have to lend a hand. I have quite a lot to do because I'm helping Baekhyun and Chanyeol prepare for their wedding"
Jimin nodded. "That's good, just tell me what I have to do"
Sana began to instruct him on the things to prepare but it was proving difficult. He had never cooked in his entire life. He always had everything done for him. This was the first time he was trying something like this and he was so embarrassed at his failed attempt.
"It seems you've never done this before"
He blushed. "I'm sorry.... "
"No problem. We can just start again" Sana said smiling.
But suddenly, Baekhyun barged into the kitchen with an anxious look. He lingered at the door.
"Sana, We have to go"
She raised her brows. "I'm making breakfast. I'll be there in a few moments"
Baekhyun shook his head and sighed, pouting "Don't do this to me, Sana. I really need your help. You're the only one who can convince Jong ki to give us those flowers and he's leaving in ten minutes"
Sana heaved "But I'm a bit busy"
Baekhyun gave her a huge cute smile "Please....just five minutes"
Sana sighed and turned to Jimin with an apologetic smile "I'm so sorry Jimin but I'll be back shortly"
She removed her apron, folded it, and kept it inside a drawer then walked towards Baekhyun who wrapped his arms around his shoulder.
"Noona! Noona" He sang out and she laughed loudly as they left together.
Jimin looked around him confused. He didn't even know where to start. As he stood there, he suddenly had a flashback of last night. The kiss. He blushed so harshly and touched his lips with his fingertips.
"What are you thinking?" A voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts. He looked up and saw Jin standing there, staring at him.
He straightened his body and smiled smugly at him.
"Um... Nothing"
Jin snickered. "Are you trying to cook?"
Jimin remembered he was wearing an apron. "Oh... Well, I want to make something for Taehyung"
Jin nodded his head. "Oh... I see"
He walked past Jimin and poured himself a drink of water from a big jug. He took a small sip while still looking at Jimin. He placed his cup on the kitchen counter and folded his arms.
"You have fallen for him haven't you?"
Jimin nearly choked his face flushing "What are you saying?" he mumbled.
Jin smiled in amusement "Cooking? You've never touched a cooking spoon in your whole life"
Jimin scoffed "I just feel bad that's all!"
"Really? You should have seen yourself yesterday. I thought you were going to die alongside him if something happened. I've never seen you in that state not even when your mom was having her kidney transplant"
Jimin stayed quiet. He didn't know how to defend himself from Jin's accusation. There's one thing. He grinned.
"You're one to talk. I know something is going on between you and Namjoon"
The older quietened all of a sudden. He chewed his lower lips and nodded. "Maybe, I think he's cute"
Jimin widened his eyes, shocked that he was admitting it so easily.
"What?" he yelled.
"He isn't bad at all. I think he's a great guy underneath all that attitude. I've really enjoyed my time with him"
Jimin shrugged "But have you forgotten we are enemies with them?"
Jin suddenly hardened his gaze at him. "Do you know why we are enemies, it's because we are friends with you and Taehyung. Our families are so close to each other, we had no choice but to join in the feud"
Jimin gulped while Jin softened his gaze and continued "But if you think of it, it's rather stupid. Why should we be enemies just because our parents don't get along? Why must we do everything they tell us to? We are adults and we have a right to our own choices"
Jimin shrugged. "But they are our parents"
Jin scoffed. "Really? If you think about it, they've never really cared about us. We are all the black sheep of our families"
He leaned on the wall and folded his arms. "Take my case for example. I have four older brothers who are deeply invested in working as doctors in our family hospital but when I told them, I wanted to become a chef, they practically made my life a living hell coupled with the fact that I'm gay or what about Hoseok who has always been considered the weakest in his family. No one cares about him because he decided to become a dancer instead of taking over the family's furniture business"
He looked at Jimin deeply. "Or you Jimin, you have always been the dutiful son, doing whatever your parents say. Slaving yourself away just to grow your family investment company but they have never once appreciated you. They have never cared to thank you for your hard work and dedication instead they make you work harder than ever"
He sighed softly and brushed back his hair with his hand. "Taehyung, Namjoon, and Yoongi have also had it tough"
He lowered his voice "Do you know that Namjoon is the illegitimate son of his father?"
Jimin gasped, holding his breath while Jin glared at him "Don't you dare say a word about it. Namjoon told me not to tell anyone. Only Taehyung and Yoongi know"
Jimin nodded vigorously and invisibly zipped his mouth. "Don't worry, my lips are sealed"
Jin sighed in relief as Jimin peered at him. "But how come he told you something this private?"
Jin blushed. "I have my way of getting people to open up to me and he's practically a big baby. He just wanted someone to talk to and I happened to be there"
"Anyway, since his mother died and he has been living with his father and his stepmother, life has been hard. His stepbrother and sister don't miss an opportunity to humiliate him and make him feel worthless and his father doesn't care about him especially since he revealed he was bisexual. He has been planning to leave them for a long time now and start his own business. He told me he wants nothing to do with them anymore and as for Yoongi, he's not as mean as everyone thinks. He just had to be like that because he was born into a gangster family and being the eldest son with four younger sisters, he has to be the man of the house and become something he isn't when the only thing he wanted is to make music"
Jimin's heart beat faster when Jin got to the part of the person who hasn't been able to leave his mind for some time now. Jin's eyes saddened.
"Taehyung's father is extremely strict with his son and according to what Namjoon told me, he had trained Taehyung to be cold and ruthless like him, hurting him if he failed to live up to his expectation. When he found out Taehyung was gay in college, he forced him to get engaged to a girl from a wealthy family Jisoo even though Taehyung didn't want that"
Jimin's heart broke when he learned this sad truth. Taehyung was engaged? Why didn't he tell him? He never even hinted at it.
"You mean Taehyung is engaged?" he whispered.
Jin nodded, looking closely at Jimin's changing expressions.
"You seem bothered by it and yet you deny that you like him"
Jimin couldn't help it. He wasn't happy about this news. He wasn't happy at all. Jin smiled at him. "If not for anything, you can use this chance to sleep with him before he's officially off the market"
Jimin frowned "It's not funny Hyung!"
"Why not? Besides, if I'm correct I think he's having feelings for you"
Jimin rolled his eyes.
Yeah right, because he's under a spell
This just made him feel much worse.
Jin sighed. "The six of us are all fuck ups and by some divine intervention, we ended up stuck here together"
Jimin thought of Jungkook. He knew exactly what Jin meant.
"And the truth is I don't want to go back home. Once I do, I'll have to start hating them again and I don't want to live like that anymore. I want to live doing what I want even though others don't like it. My life is mine to live and I'm done listening to those families of ours who don't give a shit about us"
He grinned at Jimin "So all in all, I like Namjoon and I'm ready to be more to him if he wants"
Jimin just opened his mouth in shock while Jin snatched the spoon from his hand ignoring the burning look he was throwing at him.
"Let me make breakfast before you end up burning the house down," he said chuckling.
He started humming a song as he set to work. Jimin was stunned by all this information. He had no idea others lived like this but then he thought of Taehyung and he felt heavy in his heart. Apart from the love cupid, there was something else keeping them apart. Now, more than ever, he knew he couldn't love Taehyung but he was afraid he already did.
Thanks for reading...I'm a bit slow updating and I'm sorry about that. I'm just getting busier. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it. Bye!
