Chapter 24

●●●

Jimin had to have fallen asleep for a few minutes because he had absolutely no clue where he was when Taehyung carefully shook him. "Come on. Jungkook's taking a bath and he's asking for you."

Jimin blinked the sleep out of his eyes, staring at Taehyung in confusion. "He what?"

"He wants to take that bath with you." Taehyung chuckled.

A bath? What bath? Jimin was pretty lost but nevertheless got up to find that the bed Jungkook had been lying in just seconds ago was empty now. It made an uncomfortable feeling swell in Jimin's stomach that disappeared the second he entered the bathroom to find Jungkook sitting there in the tub, looking just as drowsy as he was.

Jimin wanted to get into that bath with Jungkook because it looked extremely comfortable, but then he realized that getting into that bathtub meant he would have to get naked... and Jimin could feel himself waking up a little more now.

As if sensing his distress Taehyung reassuringly rubbed his back. "If you don't want you don't have to... and if you're uncomfortable undressing in front of me I can turn around. There are enough bubbles in there to hide anything anyways."

Jimin stared at the bathtub with Jungkook, who looked like he was ready to fall asleep any second but smiled at Jimin when they made eye contact, and then at Taehyung. He was still a little tipsy... and that gave him the courage to shake his head. "No... it's okay. I saw you guys naked before... so it's only fair that you see me too."

He'd seen more than just them naked, but those things were not on the table right now so instead he settled for pulling his t-shirt over his head, feeling a little nervous because he could feel two pairs of eyes on him, before moving to unbutton his pants.

He pulled them off as quickly as he could without embarrassing himself, mostly ignoring the eyes on him because he felt way too exposed, before stepping into the bathtub and sitting down quickly... now... Jimin probably would have realized being naked in the bathtub meant being naked in the bathtub with Jungkook if he hadn't been as tired...

But it only hit him when he was already sitting, Jungkook's chest against his back... and his dick resting against Jimin's ass. It wasn't hard or anything, but it was a dick... and Jimin was naked.

To his own surprise Jimin didn't get nervous though. He noticed the dick and realized he was going to get nervous... but the actual nervousness never came. Instead he felt Jungkook sleepily wrap his arms around his waist and nuzzle against his back. And it felt nice.

"How was today?"

His voice was a little groggy, every word taking a little longer to come out than usual. Probably the mix of alcohol and sleepiness.

"Good... I felt a lot more comfortable than I expected..."

Even though he couldn't see Jungkook he knew he was smiling. "That's good... wanna make you feel comfortable with us. Me'n Tae just wanna make you happy." He pressed a kiss to Jimin's shoulder and it felt surprisingly unsexual given their situation.

Everything about this. It all didn't feel sexual and Jimin liked it. This openness and rawness without sexual context.

"We do." Jimin watched as Taehyung stepped closer and reached out to run his fingers through Jungkook's hair before sitting down on the floor next to the tub. He focused back on Jimin. "I know you have a lot of ideas about what we want and expect of you, but try to forget those because I'm pretty sure most of them aren't right."

Jimin pressed his lips into a thin line. Taehyung knew him a little too well. The perks and difficulties of dating his best friend.

"You guys do want to sleep with me..." That was one of the expectations Jimin was sure was there. Because otherwise they wouldn't have started dating him and would have remained his friends instead.

"Someday, but it's really not that urgent." Taehyung stated.

Jimin opened his mouth to object but then he closed it again. He really had to stop making assumptions and simply believe what they told him.

"Let me help you two wash your hair."

And that he did. First Jungkook's, then Jimin's hair and Jimin completely forgot about anything else because Taehyung's hands massaging his scalp felt just that good. It didn't matter that he was naked. It didn't matter that Jungkook was too and Jimin was sitting between his fucking legs. It all didn't matter as Taehyung softly rinsed the shampoo from his hair and Jimin realized Jungkook had fallen asleep.

Jimin loved this atmosphere. It was calm and warm... reassuring in a way. He felt like nothing could go wrong.

"You know..." Jimin began, startling himself with the echo of his voice breaking the silence of the bathroom. "...I already told Jungkook about this a while ago so I probably should tell you too." He leaned against Jungkook's chest, enjoying the feeling of it rising slowly against his back.

How could he feel this safe when he was naked and other people were there? His brain had a hard time comprehending that.

"You don't have to." Taehyung reassured but Jimin shook his head.

"I want to... I want to be honest with you too." Jimin started, closing his eyes. "This is a little heavy but my stepdad used to sexually harass me. No such thing as actual sex or something like that." He quickly added when Taehyung's eyes widened. "It was just him making me undress and touching me a lot. I didn't understand it at the time, but I was scared because he was one of the authority figures in my life. I thought I deserved it. You know when you idealise adults as a child and think everything they do has a reason? It was that for me. I didn't even think of telling my mum because I thought she knew."

Jimin shook his head. He could see the anger in Taehyung's eyes. Jimin reached out to take his hand. "He stopped when I turned ten. I can't even remember when it started, but I never ended up telling my mum because for the longest time I didn't even realize how shitty it was and then even after that I was too scared..." Jimin admitted, feeling Taehyung's hand squeeze around his.

Taehyung looked like he wanted to say something, but Jimin quickly continued. He wanted to get everything out before his courage left him. "It's why I've never felt comfortable with the thought of sleeping with someone I don't trust completely. I don't even know how bad it will get once I'm naked because I'm pretty sure my nervousness around sex comes from back then..." He hesitated. "But I really want to sleep with you two. No matter how nervous I'll get I want you to know that I trust you more than I have ever trusted anyone and I really want this to work. I really want to sleep with you two."

Jimin felt those butterflies again when Taehyung smiled. It was a bitter smile. Overshadowed by the story of Jimin's stepdad, but a smile nevertheless. "I can speak for both myself and Jungkook when I say we'll do anything to keep that trust... and that thing with your stepfather is awful... I can't believe your mother is still with him."

Looking down at the water Jimin sighed. "As I said I never told her. She has no idea about the things he has done before. He acts like an angel around her."

Taehyung squeezed Jimin's hand. "I know you probably don't like hearing this... but you should tell her. I know working up the courage for that is hard, but both Jungkook and I have your back. You're not alone in this anymore and your mother deserves to know the truth."

Jimin pressed his lips into a thin line. The water felt a little colder suddenly.

"I don't know..."

He expected Taehyung to fight him. Tell him he had to but nothing of that sort happened. Instead he felt his warm hand on his shoulder again. "Let's get you out of there and back into bed. Today has been a long day."

Jimin nodded. It really had been a long day. Taehyung helped Jimin wrap up in a really soft towel first, rubbing his head with a second towel to dry it a little afterwards. Then he left Jimin on his own for a little as he woke Jungkook up, who blinked tiredly and let Taehyung basically drag him out of the tub.

It was kind of cute. Taehyung looked a little annoyed, but at the same time not actually, while Jungkook had the most content of all smiles on his lips. Taehyung sat them both on the floor and started blow drying their hair.

The whole interaction felt nice and domestic and Jimin really enjoyed it. Even with the hint of a bitter undertone because of their conversation before, he found himself easily letting go when Jungkook leaned against him, sleepily talking to him about the dream he'd just woken up from. Something about flying turtles.

Jimin found himself giggling along, closing his eyes as he listened.

Not much later all three of them had finally made it to their bed. Taehyung had given Jimin one of his white t-shirts to slip into and Jungkook had gotten the same and underwear while Taehyung changed into a t-shirt and sweatpants.

Jimin was lying sandwiched between the two. His face was buried in Taehyung's chest while Jungkook was breathing against his neck.

His thoughts went back to the conversation. Part of him had always been scared of telling his mum for all kinds of reasons. But one of the most prominent ones had been the fear of her not believing him and getting angry enough to abandon Jimin...

But Jimin no longer was alone. Even if his mum didn't take him seriously... Jimin didn't feel like there was much to lose anymore. Sure, he certainly didn't like the thought of having to explain it to her... but as he was lying there... he felt strong enough to do it.

With Taehyung and Jungkook as his safety net he could do it.

He sighed, snuggling a little closer to Taehyung, which only led to Jungkook getting closing too... he couldn't help but smile.

As long as he had these two anything was possible. Even outing his stepfather as the asshole he actually was.
