“He said I'm someone great…” Jimin thought to himself and smiled as he then glanced up at Jungkook with glee in his eyes. “T-Thank you…” Jimin thanked the boy and by there, Jungkook began to help Jimin; He wrapped his arms around the boy's waist and held him up before leaning over to grab the crutches the man once tossed forward when he was upset. The truth about his friends still abandoning him, bothered him, yet, Jimin couldn't do anything about it. He wanted to walk outside and confront them… However, he just couldn't walk outside the care unit to do so. Jimin was stuck to bear with the issues on his own.

            For hours on end, Jimin buried the thoughts of his own friends abandoning him and stood in the room with Jungkook. With each gentle hold, Jimin began to turn red each time Jungkook got close to have his arms out and open for the older to walk into; after a long distance of walking with the crutches that is. The feeling to Jimin felt brand new, his blood raced like a star shooting across the night sky and his heart beated like drumsticks against a drum. The older man began to notice that Jungkook seemed so much closer, he even blushed time to time once Jungkook dropped his hands along his small waist. However, the weak man alone doubted these feelings; knowing well that Jungkook was just the first person to stick by his side and care for him no matter what. So, he was bound to feel something for someone as close to him like his very own caregiver. Either way, Jimin pushed his small thought aside because he alone knew it was stupid to only grow fond of his own caregiver; the boy that has only been with him for at least two days already.

         By the following week Jimin would be at Jungkook’s house and this made the man smile as he used the crutches on his own to walk around the room with it. His legs weren't strong enough for him to rely on it alone, so Jungkook made sure to look through some harmless exercise practices for the weak astronaut. Around the fiftieth time Jimin took an orbit around the room with his crutches, Jungkook was now sitting on the bed while looking through some exercises Jimin could take.

          “Jimin, if you're hungry… Let me know. I need to tell your father if you want something.” Jungkook spoke ever so gently and looked up to hear the base of the crutches still clicking against the marbled ground within the care unit. “Jimin? Don't you want to take a break?”

          “I-I… I want… to get… better…” Jimin whispered out of breath as Jungkook then looked down with a silent chuckle erupting between his lips.

          “You're out of breath. It'll shorten your breath even more. Come here, sit with me so we can talk for a bit, then you can keep going once I leave.” The boy mentioned and this made Jimin stop once he realized that he wouldn't see his caregiver for a while now.

         “Jungkook… I can't see you...until I get better… Right..? That would… be until a week… from now…” Jimin spoke in broken sentences to breathe in between. His words were cut off like he was still using the oxygen within the astronaut suit and it only became a bad habit of his. “I have to learn how to walk with these perfectly… At least become normal in my weight….since.. I'm still… underweight… Then, I have to be healthy. So much.. things…” Jimin continued as he then made his way to the boy so he could sit down right by his side. Jungkook watched Jimin limp with the crutches and then sit down right by his side. The view was sad, but Jungkook kept his thoughts silent on how worried he was about the older. Two days in, Jungkook was already worried about how the young man's health was and cared so much about him.

           “It is a lot of things, but I'm sure you can get through it… Right? Of course you can. I may not be able to stay here all week and encourage you, but I can wait for you next week. Don't ever think you're alone… You still have your father and me!” Jungkook stated as he then grew silent for a second. “Then you'll have Lee-Young too… She'll be such a great friend to you.”

         “L-Lee… Young?” Jimin questioned as he locked his focus onto the boy by his side. “Who's that…?”

         “Lee-Young is my girlfriend. She's very kind and beautiful. She's very excited to meet you, so the two of us will be great help to you.” Jungkook answered and let out a happy laugh at the sweet thought of it… But Jimin on the other hand, sat there and nodded his head. Suddenly, that small part of him that grew soft for his caretaker, was ruined within seconds. “She doesn't live with me yet, so she wants to help out on taking care of you. I think you'll like her. She's very social, happy and smart. However, she isn't one to talk about the stars. She talks about business and I think that's nice.”

          “I… see…” Jimin replied and scoffed after. “Who am I to even think you were meant for me?” Jimin thought in his head and let out a sigh. “Silly me. I know nothing about you and I thought something could work between us.” Jimin spoke in his silent little head as Jungkook was still smiling to himself and gazing at the door; speaking within his own thoughts too. “I bet he's thinking about her and she causes his smiles… He only smiled at me to be nice, didn't he?” Continued the man in his head and held the crutches. “Jungkook…”

         “Yes?”

         “I… don't think bringing.. your girlfriend around me...would be a good idea… I'm not very social and I'm… s-still unstable. I'm sure she'll understand when I say… I can't see her…” Jimin confessed as he watched the smile fade from Jungkook’s face into a concerned one. “You.. still have to get me used….to society and new people… Let alone… my words and sentences.. are cut off and silent…” Murmured Jimin.

        “Oh.. That's fine. I'll be sure to tell her that and whenever you can, she'll be able to help.” Jungkook pitched the idea in once more as Jimin only bounced his head into a nod and looked away. “Do you… Want her to help? If you don't, I understand. Just tell me… We're friends, remember? If something bothers you, I want to know.” Jungkook said and tilted his head to look at Jimin further.

       “I don't… Not that she bothers.. me… it's that… I don't… know her… And I…trust you and only you…” Jimin replied and couldn't look at Jungkook since he was already blushing. In reality, Jimin felt that soft part of his heart broken once he found out his two-day-crush was already taken, so he wanted nothing to do with Lee-Young. He was slightly jealous yet, guilty on both ends.

     “That's fine, Jimin. I'll find ways to still hang out with her. Ah, you know… I've ignored her yesterday to talk about you. I felt so bad for her… I'm going to take her out on a date today to make it up to her, but I'll try to tell her she can't help out with you, slowly. It's all about ripping the band-aid off slowly. But I think… She wouldn't care. She's too busy anyways.”

      “Date… Well, I hope… you take her to a.. beautiful place…” Jimin answered and denied eye contact with Jungkook after feeling bad that he only began to like his caregiver for two days. It was a small crush that Jimin knew wouldn't last long. How could he overlook the fact that Jungkook was perfect? He was perfect and no other girl could resist that. Telling by the smile Jungkook had while mentioning his girl, looked as if he was so happy to have her. That was just the tie-breaker to show that maybe, Jimin wasn't at the center of Jungkook's universe. Maybe he was just at the center as the boy's role model and nothing more.

        “Are you okay? Don't feel bad, I'm sure she'll understand. She won't mind.” Jungkook said with a chuckle as he rose his voice right there into the chuckle as Jimin then cupped his ears and made Jungkook realize he was a little too loud right there. “O-Oh I'm sorry…”

        “It's okay… Again…” Jimin accepted Jungkook's apology no matter how loud the boy got. That was something Jimin knew he couldn't hold against his caretaker no matter what. Of course, a little part of Jimin was still broken upon finding out Jungkook was already a taken man. Jimin was so tough on himself because he alone was so desperate to fall for someone who was only being so kind to him after his arrival back on earth. Jimin felt so desperate for that split second, he was let down over something that was never meant to be.

       Once Jungkook left Jimin for the night, Jimin realized that they lived in different planets. He figured Jungkook was only smiling and laughing happily because he didn't want Jimin to look down on himself due to the condition he was placed in. Jimin knew it all, he knew there was no place for him to like a taken man and it bothered him how easily he was able to fall for Jungkook since he was the only boy in front of him at the moment. Such a kind gesture led Jimin thinking too much on it. At the end of the day, Jungkook lived in a different planet where Jimin had no idea Jungkook was in a strong relationship which seemed unbreakable at this point. However, he didn't know a thing about the way Jungkook mentions him every second to his girlfriend to the point where Lee-Young feels like she was left out of it. Even if it was just one night, she felt off having Jungkook go hours in talking about the astronaut.

            As Jungkook left the care unit, he stepped out and was suddenly stopped by Namjoon. The man stood there and had a lollipop in between his lips. “Left us all day just to stay with Jimin… Hm?” Namjoon asked and folded his arms as he stepped forward, making Jungkook step back and then stand still almost instantly. Namjoon was surprised Jungkook wasn't very scared of ticking the older off like before. It was like now, Jungkook wasn't scared of letting Namjoon down at all. “What happened to working on the project together? You made Taehyung cry and complain about how bad of a husband you are to him. I personally think this joke has gotten too deep in his head, but I still think you could have told us first.”

         “I was taking care of Jimin… I am his caretaker after all.” Jungkook said and adjusted his lab coat over his dress shirt. “I'm sorry I let you both down. I'm sure it will only be today and for the rest of the week I'll help you both.” Jungkook assured as he then looked up at Namjoon. “I… wanted to be there for Jimin. I think you should too… Maybe when he's with me, you and Taehyung can pay him a visit.” Jungkook insisted and placed his own hands on his hips. “Not this week, just the next or whenever he can. Jimin… Is such a nice man… I think he's perfect and not the ‘manipulator’ Taehyung says he is. Jimin may have done things in the past, but I think he's wonderful. He must've learned his lesson.” Added on the boy as he then stepped forward and made Namjoon step back with a smug smile over the older man's face after hearing out how perfect the boy thought of Park Jimin. “I don't want anyone to make Jimin feel bad… He's all alone and I don't want him to cry again. I… care...about him.”
