Chapter 59: To Protect the Stars

          Anger, fury and jealousy flowed through Jungkook's system as he held his scary glare onto Namjoon until the older rolled his eyes and continued to stare at his friend. Eventually, Jungkook lightly licked along Jimin's hidden hickey under his dress shirt and by there, Jimin pulled his head back into a flinch and shoved Jungkook playfully. “Jungkook, no!” The older uttered into a giggle as Jungkook finally pulled his eyes away from Namjoon; resting his hands over Jimin's shoulders and finally focusing on his lover. “No more! Get to training.”

          “Fine. I'll stop for now~” Jungkook whispered and rolled Jimin's hair back once more. Of course, Jimin caught the sudden change of attitude Jungkook had. He seemed more tense, more possessive and very touchy outside of a private room. Jungkook seemed to try hard to make Jimin his out in public. Of course, Jimin had no intentions of depicting this as an off behavior… He knew this was how Jungkook began to show his love in public, but what he didn't know was the fact that Jungkook only did this to remind Namjoon that Jimin was only his. No one else's but his.

          As Jungkook stood by the doorway to the chamber, he made sure Jimin walked into the training room first and didn't allow him to stay behind where Namjoon was able to reach him. With such jealousy, this was enough to have the younger become so controlling over his own boyfriend. Namjoon knew what Jungkook was doing and he just couldn't seem to bear the thought that he watched the video Taehyung recorded of the couple making love in the small supply room. Namjoon was utterly disgusted about it and he couldn't bury the fact that he was completely jealous and very envious. He had his own wife, but then again, he grew to love her now and for Jimin, he always hid his love towards him.

        Eventually, Jungkook went into the training simulation as Jimin walked into his own spot; monitoring the simulation and guiding the two within the pod set under water. “The two of you look so silent today…” Jimin whispered and kept his finger over the button to talk into a microphone placed within their suits. “What's wrong?”

         “Namjoon broke my phone and Jungkook got mad at me…” Taehyung mumbled and made a pout as his arms remained folded. “Now I need to get it fixed…”

         “Why did Jungkook yell at you?” Jimin asked and with that, Jungkook slowly turned his head to glare at Taehyung. This wasn't scaring Taehyung at all, rather, it was making him worry about the young astronomer. He felt that maybe his love for Jimin and desire to keep him his; was enough to make him grow as scary and possessive as he seemed.

         “He… didn't want me to be late for training. I guess I was just… very careless.” Taehyung stated and slowly rose his hand to turn off his own microphone so he could look at Jungkook. Jungkook knew Taehyung lied and all was left was the fact that Jungkook should be able to tell Jimin the real reason why Jungkook scolded Taehyung like that. “Jungkook… What's going on with you? You know Namjoon would never try to take Jimin away even if he still loved him. Calm down, you look scary.” Taehyung whispered to Jungkook as the younger sighed and pressed his head back.

         Jimin watched how Taehyung kept his own microphone on mute as he talked to Jungkook. Jimin couldn't help but to grow curious about this situation altogether! “What are you two talking about now?” Jimin questioned into the microphone as Jungkook looked up at the camera and smiled.

         “Can I… Tell you later?” The young man asked as Jimin agreed to it. As long as Jungkook wasn't going to tuck it away from Jimin, Jimin felt like he was able to bear a long wait for the truth if he had to.

          “Later… Alright, then.” Jimin replied before sitting back and watching over the two. Later on, Jungkook and Taehyung still sat in the simulation while Jungkook was beginning to feel like he was going to lose it. He bit down on his lip and looked around the same and small pod as before. The young man was tired and he began to feel as if his pain would double like this. He spent each and every single day, sitting in the simulation and waiting. It was absolute torture and even Taehyung had times where he wanted to scream as well. But of course, this was only normal where they only adjusted to the tough atmosphere.

            Jimin watched over the two for hours on end. He couldn't get up and leave since this alone would be his job as soon as the two goes off into space to bring the B248 back to earth. Until then, hours of painful training was coming their way and Jungkook just didn't know how long he could hold onto such a stressful mission like this. Yet, being strong had to come with its own consequences.

           As Jimin sat there; hugging his own knees against his chest, he had his eyes closed to think to himself; softly humming a song when… Jungkook's phone suddenly began to chime. His ringtone filled Jimin's ears and caused the older to flinch so swiftly before darting his vision over at the vibrating phone. Jimin was puzzled, who could it have been, calling Jungkook at a time like this? Jimin looked over Jungkook's phone to see the caller ID have “UNKNOWN NUMBER” written in bold. “Who's calling him while he's at work?” Questioned the older in his own head as he took one more glance over at the phone to pick it up into his hands. “I'll answer…”

            Jimin picked the phone up into his hands and placed it over his ear to listen to who was calling the younger man on his phone and answered. “Hello?” Jimin asked and instantly, he was surprised to hear a familiar voice call through the line.

             “Jungkook? It's me… Lee-Young…” The woman's voice introduced herself as Jimin suddenly rose a brow. “I haven't heard from you in so long.. H-How are you? Are you doing alright? I just wanted to call.”

             “Jungkook is doing perfectly fine, Lee-Young. He can't come to the phone at the moment. He's too busy. So, you're left with me. Jimin; his boyfriend.” Jimin answered and glared against a plain wall; without even blinking his eyes once.

             “Jimin… boyfriend? I see…” Lee-Young answered and took a moment. “When can he call me back?”

             “He'll be busy all day and night. What do you want to tell him?” Jimin continued and dropped his elbow over the armrest of the seat he rolled around in. “I'll tell him once he becomes available.”

             “Ah… It's nothing. It's personal.” Lee-Young answered and let out an exhale while Jimin smiled to himself. He didn't like that Lee-Young wanted to be personal with Jungkook after two months of no interaction. Jimin was unaware of what she had to say and the simple thought of her coming back to Jungkook like this was what made Jimin become so jealous within seconds. “When can I call him back?”

           “Never…” Jimin answered and with that, he hung up. Jimin set Jungkook's phone down and placed on his headset to place his own finger over the button to talk to Jungkook through his spacesuit. “My love…”

           “What is it Mochi?”

          “You'll be out of there in about… Twenty more minutes.” Jimin reminded Jungkook and watched how he began to smile. “How are you holding up?”

          “I'm doing good… Just hungry, that's all.” Jungkook spoke into the microphone as he let out a heavy sigh. “It's so hard to do this everyday, Jimin…”

           “I know it is… Do you really think I can't see that? I know it hurts you. Just pull through it Jungkook… You'll be alright. Think of me.” Jimin assured and Jungkook only tossed his head back against the chair and nodded his head. All in which, Jimin observed through the monitor.

          Finally after a long wait, Jungkook was let out of the simulation as Jimin walked over to his lover, smiling and holding Jungkook's coat before approaching him and taking off his own lover's astronaut helmet. “Let's order something to eat for the night, Jungkook.” Jimin suggested and took the younger man's helmet off; getting on his toes to kiss Jungkook and smiling right after. “I know how tired my astronaut is tonight~”

          “Ah, I don't think I was going to make it anyways.” Jungkook chuckled and caressed Jimin's face gently with the gloved hand of his spacesuit. “Let's go home.”

          “Jungkook, I have something to tell you.” Jimin said and wrapped the younger arm over his own shoulder as they walked together, side-by-side. “Your phone was ringing earlier and… I answered. It was an unknown number, so I was concerned.”

          “Well? Who was it, Mochi?” Jungkook asked as the couple walked into the dressing room to have Jungkook remove his spacesuit.

            “It was Lee-Young… She wanted to have a private conversation with you and didn't even want to tell me anything about it. It's been two minutes and now, she's coming back to you like that? No… It's not fair to you. She probably wants you back!” Jimin bickered in jealousy as he let out a scoff. “We're together.”

             “Calm down, Mochi. I'm all yours. I won't be answering her anytime soon. If you don't want me to talk to her, I won't.” Jungkook had to reassure his Jimin. As soon as they stepped into the dressing room, Jimin began to help Jungkook out by taking off his astronaut suit and leaving him with his white, skin-tight, pants and sweater, full body suit; outlining every, firm muscle in his body. “On the same topic of jealousy… I have something to say as well. It was about earlier. I told you I was going to tell you later and that is now.” Jungkook mentioned as Jimin fixed his eyes onto Jungkook's full body suit under the astronaut space suit. It hugged his skin tightly like a latex glove or soft and gentle fabric on a superhero suit. “Today… I think I lost my patience, I think I got scared of losing you. I grew jealous and excessively possessive. Did I scare you, my love?” Jungkook asked and gazed at Jimin.

             “Why did you get jealous…? Did Taehyung… say something about me when he shouldn't have?”

              “No… It wasn't Taehyung. Ah, it was Namjoon and I got so jealous I had to remind him you were all mine. Not his.” Jungkook answered as Jimin pulled down the zipper from Jungkook's white suit.

             “What did Namjoon say…?” Jimin almost fretted to ask until Jungkook then cleared his own throat. “You can tell me… Right? It won't hurt me, it won't hurt you. It won't hurt us.”

             “Mochi… It's not so simple.” Jungkook assured as Jimin took a pause to listen to what Jungkook had to say next. “Jimin… Namjoon still loves you.” Jungkook confessed as Jimin tilted his head. “Then I tried my best to shake him off of you by holding you close and kissing you every chance I had. I didn't even try to let you out of my sight.” Jimin pulled Jungkook's zipper down while listening to his lover. Jungkook then had his pale muscles exposed in front of his boyfriend as he only wore socks and underwear underneath it. “I wanted to rub my love for you… all over his face. You're mine and having him think like he can have you any second, drives me fucking crazy.”

          “Then that makes us both crazy for each other..” Jimin added after and pointed Jungkook's face down to his. “You'd do anything to protect me from anything even if it isn't a threat. You're my Jungkook, trying your best to protect the stars of our universe, hm? Ah, you get so jealous and it looks scary! You were actually creeping me out, Jungkook. Don't scare me like that again!” The older giggled and held his soulmate's hand with his own. “Don't get like that… I already love you to the moon and back. What more can you ask for?”
