23 Days from Christmas- Yearning
Jungkook could not stop thinking about Jimin's face so close to him.
His body underneath him.
Pen down those breaths o'er this skin.
He still came to the Fair albeit he asked of Jimin for things between them to not change, there was resistance between his thoughts and wants.
He was fidgeting his wrist watch looking at Jimin from distance, embracing Jimin in his thoughts until certain someone walked up to Jimin behind the booth. No one but Jungkook was the one who did that so far. No one was allowed behind the booth. How come this person gets to go there?
Not only he dared to stand where Jungkook once stood but he was hugging Jimin. The scene shot blood to his eyes and his chest felt pangs of jealousy.
//Is this "it's complicated" of Jimin?//
He clamped his phalanges into fist, trying to control not being able to see Jimin laughing with that person. Jimin was hitting that man's chest when Jungkook turned around until he heard a blast.

"I don't know how I feel about him. I just know I am scared. Scared that something will happen." Jimin was explaining to his best friend who was passing by Europe and he decided to pay a surprise visit to Jimin.
"What's wrong with that?" Min Yoongi retracts.
"You know I cannot." Jimin looks at him with astonishment.
"You are asking me this, of all people? I can't believe it."
"It is only me out of all people who can say it. I know you like no one else, Jimin. I can see how your eyes just sparkle when you talk about him. Had I not decided to halt here I would not have been here to knock some sense into you." Yoongi rolls his eyes at Jimin.
"Please Yoongi. I thought you would take my side." Jimin says irritated and hitting his chest with a scornful laugh.
"I am at your side. I choose happiness for you. I will always have your back albeit that poor lad should get a pat on his back from me." Yoongi chuckles.
"Yoongi! I can't believe you." Jimin chuckles as he walks to another side of the kitchen to take out the pie.
"I want you to go back if all you are going to do is-"
Everything ceased to exist as the blast bent everyone's ears towards the sound from the oven.
*Jimin's POV*
There was a moment of silence around me after I heard the horrendous sound as I lurched backward and to the ground. The glass shrapnel pierced through my hands which I involuntarily pressed in front of my face defensively.
Everything went black and the faint voices of the screaming women and kids were reaching my ears.
I heard Yoongi shaking me. I wanted to open my eyes and speak. I formed words slowly but could not let them out.
Suddenly I heard Jungkook's voice calling my name. He was crying and saying something to Yoongi. Then I smelt a familiar fragrance as my body was lifted and I felt the warmth of someone.

Earlier:
Jungkook ran as he heard the sound and saw its impact as Jimin fell to the ground. Yoongi was patting Jimin's face and sprinkling water over him.
As Jungkook arrived at the scene he rushed and leaped towards Jimin and saw his eyes were closed and his hands were bleeding. He immediately wanted to hold him but Yoongi was already trying to pick him up.
Jungkook pushed him aside and gently lifted Jimin as tears rolled his eyes. Yoongi spat at Jungkook screaming but Jungkook silenced him saying, "he needs to go to the hospital immediately. You have plenty of time to pick a fight with me later."
Now at the hospital, Jungkook was pacing back and forth outside Jimin's ward.
Just as Doctor comes out Jungkook runs to him and so does Yoongi who was sitting in the chair.
"How is he, Doctor?" He asks.
"Jimin is fine. He had a concussion due to the high-frequency sound and he fainted due to radiation. In some cases, a person can faint out of fear but in his case, it was due to exposure to radiation but fortunately, it did not exceed the limit to cause any side effect." Doctor explains.
"What about the blood?" Yoongi also walks up to them as he asks.
"There was shrapnel of glass. We have removed all of it and dressed the wounds. They were not deep. You still need to come for at least the next 3 days for redressing. Are you from his family?"
"I am his friend." He replies.
"Well good then. You can meet him." Doctor finishes off.
"Can we take him back home?" Yoongi asks.
"Sure. He is perfectly fine. But I have made a prescription to help with the pain, just in case." They both bow to the doctor as he leaves.
"You are Jimin's friend. Huh?" Jungkook talks to Yoongi first time since they arrived.
"No." Yoongi replies and Jungkook glares at him.
"I am his best friend."
Yoongi knows that the man in front of him is Jungkook but he still asks him. "Who might you be?"
"Well, I am not his best friend but a good one." He says, not looking at Yoongi but emphasizing on word best friend.
"Do you want to go in first?" Yoongi outstretches his hand and points towards the door.
Jungkook gives him a jaundiced smile and dashes inside. Jimin was just sitting on his bed with legs on the ground and looking at his hands.
"Jimin!" Jungkook calls.
He looks at Jungkook and recollects everything he has heard before passing out. "Hey, Jungkook! Thank you." He says.
"For what?" Jungkook asks as he reaches to Jimin and sits across the bed on a chair.
"You brought me here-"...
He gets cut off by Jungkook. "How do you feel? Do you feel any pain?"
"No, just a little. I was actually thinking about how would I work now. The doctor just told me to take three days rest." He sighs!
"You work too hard. I think this can be a break you need."
"But I don't need a break. I love working hard." Jimin was getting frustrated and Jungkook knew better than to not put ignition into it.
"Your friend is here." He changes the subject.
"Yoongi, oh! Where is he? Is he fine? I don't remember if he was close to me." Jimin starts to worry and Jungkook could not help but get a little more jealous.
"I will send him in." He gets up and starts walking away. He turns to look at Jimin from the door when he hears him call his name.
"Thanks. Really." Jimin says.
"Don't mention it. We are friends after all." Jungkook smiles and heads out.
A few moments later Yoongi comes into the room. "How are you feeling Jiminah?"
"I am okay. I was worried if you got hurt?" Jimin sighs in relief seeing that his friend is okay.
"I was at a safe distance. Got lucky." He smiles.
"Jungkook loves you. I could see it through and through." Yoongi starts to pester Jimin.
"As I said-"
"At least think about it. If you do not consider the possibility of any dream to be fulfilled then chances are, it never will. You need to take a step." He gazes into Jimin's eyes as if peeking into his soul.
Jimin doesn't say anything. "Promise me that you will think about it."
"Tch. Yoongi.."
"No, I just want a promise from you."
"Alright! I will give it a thought but you should know that nothing is going to change."
"We will see about that." Yoongi smiles exposing his gums.

Do you all still remember the things on Jimin's bucket list?
Next update tomorrow, as promised. And thank you so much for your comfort yesterday.
