Chapter 72: The thing I've become

            Taehyung slowly looked at Jungkook, pretty sure it was nothing by the door as Jungkook was gently caressing Jimin's face that had a faded red tint on his cheek now. Jungkook continued to caress Jimin softly, not caring if Taehyung was watching him from the other bed.

       "Who knows how to love you like me...there must be a good reason that you're gone. Every now and then I think you might want me to come show up at your door... But I'm just too afraid that I'll be wrong~" Jungkook whispered a song silently to Jimin and kept caressing his soft and chubby cheek.

          Taehyung watched Jungkook in silence. He could tell the younger felt horrible about slapping Jimin earlier so he came back to sing to Jimin silently while he gently caressed the place where he hit the older. "Jungkook...?" Taehyung asked in a whisper as Jungkook was silently singing to Jimin when he suddenly stopped and locked eyes with the boy on the other bed. Glaring at him in jealousy.

         "...what..?" Jungkook whispered as he stood straight and gazed at Taehyung for a moment. "Shouldn't you be sleeping..?"

          "Shouldn't you apologize instead of breaking in and singing to Jimin in his sleep while you caress his face?" Taehyung said in return as Jungkook cocked his head aside.

          "Mind your own business... I'm pretty sure you have no room to think about what Jimin and I have together since you already have your own little show going on." Jungkook fired and made Taehyung tilt a brow up.

           "Jimin is so confused... This is something he told me and warned me not to interfere... But how could you hurt him and come back to break in his apartment just to caress his face and softly sing him a song?" Taehyung wondered. Trying not to get the younger upset.

          "Mind your own buisness for once... You don't see me saying, 'Why don't you tell Yoongi to stay away from your Hoseok if you really want him?' But of course... I'm always the one to blame.." Jungkook sighed and looked at Jimin again.

           "I don't care if you want to talk about it... I just want to know what were you thinking when you slapped him? You made him very scared and confused." Taehyung asked as Jungkook watched Jimin sleep silently.

            "I was scared of watching him leave me... Just thinking he would leave was something I couldn't process. So I want him to stay." Jungkook added and looked up at Taehyung as he started to glare at the other. "How would you feel... If you were given the most precious diamond ever. Unique in any way and precious to everyone's eyes. But knowing that it's yours and fate had brought it to you... You'd keep it... Right? I want to keep that diamond... And the only diamond in my life is Jimin." Jungkook said and let out a sigh. "Imagine losing such a thing.. What would you do? Who would fill that endless void of silence and regret..?"

            "I.. understand.." Taehyung said. He understood what Jimin mentioned before about how clingy the boy was but he never knew this was how much he adored Park Jimin.

           "I.. love my Jimin. I couldn't go to sleep without knowing I can sing to him and caress his face like before." Jungkook said and kissed Jimin's forehead again while the sun began to slowly rise. Jungkook then caressed Jimin's face again and walked out of the bedroom. Leaving Jimin for the morning.

               Hours later, Jimin woke up to get to work for the blog like before. Writing about the first snowfall and providing pictures too so he could describe the beautiful events at the festival. Jimin transfered his pictures onto the laptop, not even bothering to get breakfast while he worked on his blog. Jimin seemed blank in the morning, sleepy, effortless and silent. He missed Jungkook and only hoped to talk to him after he publishes his blog.

           Jimin set out the recorder and played Jungkook's sweet and angelic voice that sang in a log. Just like that Jimin continued to work while he listened to Jungkook sing. It was times like these where he wished he could hear the younger from up the vents sing to him like nothing was between them. Yet, it was up to Jimin to repair what was damaged. Unaware that Jungkook showed up to him and kissed him softly to caress his face.

           Taehyung stepped out of the bathroom with a black sweater hoodie, loose sweatpants and white low shoes as he placed on his glasses to look at the mirror. Through the mirror, Taehyung could see Jimin staring at the laptop blankly while he typed so quickly onto the keyboard. "You know.. The quick you type into the laptop, you'll be more likely to make a grammar mistake or have a misspelled word." Taehyung stated, but Jimin just stopped typing and looked up at Taehyung. "I don't want to work too hard." The boy chuckled and looked at Jimin.

           "I'm in a hurry to go see Jungkook. I need to talk to him... I'm sick of waiting for nothing. I hate that he never answers me... Even if we talk I need to get this through that I'm not going to be a caged bird if I think of leaving." Jimin claimed as he kept typing and this made Taehyung nod his head as he adjusted his sweater.

           "I'll be with Hoseok today. I need to be there to hopefully talk to him about these new plans. I'll be staying and I'll be here for him. Please talk to Jungkook and try... Try to talk to him about travelling with you. I don't want you to go alone and get assigned to some other random person for it, understand?" Taehyung assured as Jimin nodded, going through the pictures on his laptop.

             Jimin took a moment to look at the pictures as he stopped the recorder to look over the beautiful pictures he took, staring at them with a gleam in his eye. He could see the younger's figure along the side cut off by the camera. But Jimin smiled recalling what a beautiful night when the first snowfall greeted all the couples.

           Taehyung walked to the older and looked over what he was doing on the laptop to see the many pictures and a video of Jungkook being recorded and this made Taehyung chuckle. "I hope you aren't planning on putting that video up there."

           "Ah, of course not! I'm just looking over this. It was such a beautiful night.." Jimin sighed. Just hoping it'll be easy to speak to Jungkook about this. Even if it didn't seem like it would be a casual stroll through a park, Jimin kept his chin up high. Taehyung looked over the pictures and smiled for Jimin as he gave him a smile.

          "I don't know if I should tell you, but.. Hours back, around five in the morning... Jungkook came in. I don't know how he got in but he did." Taehyung said, making Jimin look back at the younger with a beautiful gleam in his eyes that caused him to smile cutely.

          "He... came in here? Oh he must have used my key!" Jimin giggled as Taehyung laughed.

          "Jungkook came in here to sing to you and caress you on the cheek... Right where he slapped you." Taehyung added and pointed to Jimin's soft cheek.

           "Jungkook came back." Jimin thought to himself and smiled again, this time not wanting to stop his smile of glee. "This means... He doesn't hate me! I don't have to be so worried about him not listening to me because of all of this! Ah this is a big game changer!" Jimin added. Finally, he didn't have to think of Jungkook giving him an attitude and believed if he goes off to see Jungkook and talk to him, the boy would be able to open up about everything.

            Later, Taehyung left the apartment to go meet up with Hoseok and stay by him during practice. He still had hopes for things like these. The younger knew Hoseok would come to his senses. He just needed time to soon confront Taehyung and confirm that they could be something as soon as Yoongi leaves the picture.

             Jimin finished up typing his blog and sent the draft to Taehyung as he jumped up, ready to see Jungkook for the first time today. The man threw on his timberlands, long loose blue jeans, a white long sleeved shirt as he wore a black beanie over his blonde, soft hair. The older looked at the mirror in silence. growing anxious to even go.

            "Why am I so nervous..? This is Jungkook... My everything. Not a scary creep on the third floor. He didn't mean to hurt me and he'll realize that he should join me. But I just hope he doesn't put up a fight like earlier today. It's worth a shot." Jimin stated and quickly walked out of the apartment room and up the stairs to meet Jungkook again after all that happened.

           Jimin felt a little concerned Jungkook called him Yoon Jyunhu. From what he believed, that name was from the paycheck when they switched up Jungkook's name with one of his co-workers. But why did he call him that? Jimin questioned it and kept the question in his head to bring it up to Jungkook. The man had a bit of fear walking onto the battlefield with Jungkook but if he didn't, what would become of this relationship? Jimin just couldn't sit back and ignore the one he loves. He just needed answers.

        Jimin walked up to Jungkook's room door in the same old shady apartment halls that still gave Jimin a shiver down his spine everytime he would set foot on it. The man placed his hand over the door knob to suddenly turn it and realized it was still open. Jimin smiled and stepped in. If Jungkook didn't want Jimin to be there, he would have locked it. This was another sign that he was waiting for Jimin.

          Jimin walked in to see every light was off. Everything was silent and all that could be heard was the air pumping out of the vents as always.

          "Jungkook?!" Jimin called out as he took out his phone to flash the light around. Jimin sighed and walked over to the light switch to turn on the lights, but as soon as Jimin tried to flip it on, the lights wouldn't work. Almost as if it was cut off. "Jungkook! Y-You know I don't like the dark..." Jimin raised his voice to address the younger, but yet again.. Nothing in return.

            Jimin walked into the room to look for Jungkook as he noticed the room was nicely clean. Jimin stopped walking to continue to shine the light on the bed. "Jungkook? Where are you?" Jimin sighed and began to think maybe he was in the other apartment rooms. Jimin decided to call the boy on his phone, but as soon as he did, the phone was just sitting on the bedside table. Ringing constantly. Jimin then stepped up to silence it, unaware that Jungkook was right behind him, Gripping onto a rope as he looked at Jimin with his eyes glistening in tears.
