Updateeeee 💕
Vote goal 110?? 😐

Jimin fell asleep on the very floor after he cried almost all night. He was a mess and he had to travel. He woke up to the sound of someone knocking on his door, he got up with barely any energy left in him. He opened the door and found Taehyung there.

"Jimin!" Taehyung was shocked seeing him like this and the guilt took over him. But what could he say to make things better? He felt ashamed.
"It's... It's 12 already. We have our flight in a bit." Taehyung said timidly.
"Okay. Thank you." Jimin could barely talk, he was barely audible. Jimin was crushed after he heard someone just tell him that he was causing troubles in other people's lives.

Jimin always feared that his anxiety was an irritant to others. He always felt like he was being annoying and no matter how much he tried, he would always wind up feeling like this.

"Jimin, about last evening. I... I didn't mean it. You're not... I.." Taehyung tried.
"No, I know. Its okay." Jimin managed. He felt like Taehyung had said nothing that he didn't already know. He knew how annoying he was, he knew he was treating others badly. But it wasn't because he wanted to, it was more like an involuntary thing to protect himself from others seeing his vulnerable side.

But that was no excuse as to why he'd do it. He was trying to change and open up but the fact that he was told that it made others upset, terrified him. He didn't want to drag others down, and he felt it was only a matter of time when he'd break down to his anxiety.

Jimin faked a small smile and spoke up.
"I'd better get ready. I'll see you downstairs." Taehyung nodded, he couldn't make eye contact with him. He didn't mean to hurt Jimin and had no idea how much his words could affect Jimin, but they did. And that was the last thing Taehyung wanted. For now, all he could do was give the man his space.

Jimin's body was aching and his head hurt so much. He was nauseated and his legs were hurting too. He made it to the washroom somehow and began getting ready. The hot water soothed his body and made him feel better. He came out wearing a bathrobe and popped two small pills in his mouth for his headache. As usual.

He got dressed and packed some of his belongings in and then picked his phone up. He glanced down at it to see the time when he saw a text from Jungkook.
"What time are you reaching Seoul?! :D"

Jimin sighed and removed the notification. He just wanted to be alone. He headed downstairs and met Taehyung and the other employees. He avoided Taehyung and spoke to the others. Again he smiled and laughed, as he lied about having a flu because of how strained his voice was.

They all headed for the airport in a bit and Taehyung and Jimin took separate cars. Jimin was silent throughout the ride, he had this feeling where he wanted to cry hard but he couldn't. Because for him crying was futile, it would do no good. And considering he had this feeling all the time, it didn't matter. He was just going to have to push through.

They boarded the flight and Jimin left behind his family once again. He sighed and closed his eyes trying to distract himself but in reality he was trying to disappear.

The flight proved to be short and sweet and they were in Seoul in no time. Taehyung and Jimin stood by their cars before they made eye contact.
"Jimin. I'm really sorry." Taehyung said timidly. Jimin smiled and hugged him briefly. Taehyung closed his eyes with shame and guilt.
"It's all okay. I'll see you on Monday." he said and drove off.

Jimin reached his apartment and simply crashed on the couch. He was done with everything and wanted to shut himself out again. That seemed to be the best thing to do.

He got dressed in his light blue pyjamas after a shower and began watching TV. As the day progressed Jimin's loneliness began surfacing and his anxiety hit. He began getting restless and but he tried to concentrate on the movie he was watching.

He managed to distract himself and fell asleep on the couch. His phone rang and he saw the time, it was about 10. Jungkook was calling. Jimin bit his lip and let the phone ring.

Jungkook's eyebrows furrowed when Jimin stopped talking to him, he got a bad feeling. So he called again.

Jimin sighed and picked the phone up. He wasn't going to engage in a big conversation, he thought.
"Hi!" Jungkook's sweet tone made him tear up a little bit.
"Hi." Jimin managed and wiped his tears off. He missed this vibe so much. That's what he needed.

"You didn't show up at the cafe today." Jungkook said.
"Yeah. Was tired." Jimin replied.
"Can you come now?" Jungkook asked.
"Now? After closing time? I don't think so. I'm not well. " Jimin said.
"Please? It's my birthday today. So we're having a small party. Just me and my family. Can't you come?" Jungkook said softly and Jimin bit his lip looking at the clock. It was 10:05pm.

"Okay... I'll be in my pyjamas though." Jimin said, exhausted.
"Sure. It's just me and my family." Jungkook beamed.
"Okay. I'm coming." Jimin nodded and grabbed his car keys. He drove to the cafe and got down.

Jungkook was standing outside waiting for him.
"Hi.." Jimin smiled.
"Hi! Let's go!" Jungkook held his hand and took him inside. Jimin gasped once they reached inside, the place was jam packed with people. It was so noisy.

"You said it was just your brothers!?" Jimin hid behind him.
"I said it was my family. They're all my family." Jungkook beamed looking around. There were people of all ages.
"I'm not dressed for this! Let me go change. Please." Jimin said hiding some more.
"Hey, it's okay. You look great. I mean look at me." Jungkook said and Jimin scanned him, he looked great in his yellow hoodie and blue jeans.

"Oh stop." Jimin hit him lightly.
"GUYS!"
"What are you doing!?" Jimin pulled his arm.
"Meet my friend. Jimin." Jungkook announced and there was pin drop silence. Everyone looked at the two.

Jimin gulped and came out from behind Jungkook in his blue pyjamas.
"H-Hi..." Jimin waved at the crowd.
"JIMIN!" everyone said in unison and beamed. Jimin was so confused.
"JIMIN IS HERE!" Hoseok came running and hugged him tightly. Everyone knew that Jungkook was waiting for his friend Jimin, let's just say Hoseok and Jin were too excited and told their entire family.

"Oh he has been waiting for you!" Jin said to him and hugged him. Jungkook blushed and looked away, Jimin smiled softly. Really? For him? His heart skipped a beat.

"Come in." Hoseok took Jimin towards the crowd. Jimin fidgeted nervously.
"Oh dear! You're so skinny!" Said one of their grandmas. And he hugged Jimin.
"You're so handsome, Jiminie." Another grandma fixed his hair.
"Sorry, they're a bit..."
"I love it." Jimin said cutting Hoseok off and smiled.Later, Jimin was talking to Yugyeom, who was Jungkook's age.

"Cake time!" Yoongi yelled and put down a big cake.
"Ironman. Called it." Namjoon laughed and Jungkook hugged them. Everyone was beaming, Hoseok and Jin ran to his side and Jungkook stood behind the table. Jimin went to the front and laughed softly at the cake. And Jungkook beamed seeing his beautiful smile.

" Kookie?"
"Huh?"
"The cake. Cut it." Yoongi prompted him because he was busy looking at Jimin.
Everyone laughed shyly and Jimin bit his lip and looked down then back up.
"oh yeah." Jungkook turned pink as he cut the cake. Everyone began singing the birthday song as did Jimin. He was beaming now.

Jimin smiled as he saw Jungkook feed the cake to his brothers who put some of it on his face. The way Jungkook laughed was so pretty. Jimin was smitten by his eyes too, so big and beautiful. Just like a doe. He looked around at everyone who loved him. He had such a big supportive family. He looked down feeling upset when he heard Jungkook call him.

"Hi." Jungkook beamed holding a piece of cake. Jimin looked up at him with his wide brown eyes. Their eyes locked onto each other. Jungkook lifted the piece up to Jimin's mouth who smiled and took a small bite. Everyone around them giggled.

" I didn't even bring you a present." Jimin said timidly but Jungkook smiled.
"You came. That's good enough for me." He said softly.
