game

"TAEHYUUUUUUUUNG!"

Jungkook burst through the door and stormed into the apartement with all his pent-up emotions.

"Tae I'm back!" Jungkook yelled, stomping through the house like a madman to locate his roommate.

The student threw his coat and shoes into the livingroom and eventually found Taehyung working on a sketch in his room.

"Tae!"

"What the-"

Taehyung grabbed to his heart and dropped his pencil when he saw Jungkook. "Dude you lowkey scared the crap out of me what's wrong?!"

"I just came back from my date!" Jungkook yelled way too loudly, overwhelmed and feeling like he couldn't properly out his exhiliaration.

Taehyung smiled fondly and fully turned to Jungkook to give the man his attention. "Alright, how did it go?"

Jungkook dropped himself on Taehyung's bed and sighed so deeply it was like his soul left his body.

"I'm dating someone with a personality disorder..."

Silence rested in the room and even Jungkook took the moment of peace and quiet to let the situation sink in.

"What?..." Taehyung asked after a while, shifting his eyes to Jungkook after coming out of his confused trance.

"Jimin has DID... discosative identity disorder..."

Taehyung crossed his legs and really seemed to be trying to comprehend what Jungkook was saying.

"Is that when a person believes they have multiple personalities?" He asked with a frown.

Jungkook nodded and stared at the white ceiling, calming himself down to really get his head straight.

"How... Jungkook what happened?"

Jungkook sighed. "I met up with Jimin at that café again and... it wasn't the same person..." The student scratched his forehead. "Well... it was but he was completely different. I mean completely!"

"Kook..." Taehyung said, seeming like he was lost in thought.

"I told you before that Jimin was hot and intimidating right? Well when I met him today... he was as intimidating as a baby chicken."

Jungkook felt butterflies twist his stomache when he remembered kissing Jim and Jiminie. How could making out with the same person be so different yet so, so good.

"I met his brother, who works at the same café our date was at to keep an eye on Jimin, and later he told me that Jimin had 6 personalities that excisted within him."

Taehyung brushed through his hair and seemed just as dumbfounded as Jungkook had been. "Kook I don't know if this is a good idea..."

Jungkook sucked in his lips, because deep down he'd already known Taehyung wouldn't agree with all of it. The student was sure that if the roles had been reversed, he wouldn't have supported it either.

"This isn't a game... this is serious shit and you're still young. It's better if you don't get mixed up in this type of stuff. Isn't that disorder usually caused by intense trauma? Do you know what happened to him?"

Jungkook closed his eyes, suddenly feeling very tired. "They don't know... no one knows except maybe him, but he won't talk to anyone."

Taehyung's brow perked up, and after a while of thinking the man stood up only to fall on his bed next to Jungkook.

"You like him a lot don't you? The Jungkook I know wouldn't have dared to involve himself with this."

Jungkook suddenly felt tears burn behind his eyes that had come out of nowhere. Shit... did he care so much about this man already?

"I don't know him well... and I've only met him twice but... fuck Tae, I don't want to walk away... I can't... I just-"

A lump in Jungkook's throat cut his sentence off short.

Jungkook's hand was suddenly captured by someone else's, and it helped him stay strong.

"If you are sure about this I'll support you Kook," Taehyung said at a soothed. "I know you'll make the right descision."

Jungkook released a shuddering breath.

"But make sure you are set on what you choose, because things could go very wrong if you're not," Taehyung added.

Jungkook nodded, deeply understanding his best friend's concerns.

This was indeed a serious situation, but Jungkook believed he was ready. He didn't want to go back to kissing strangers at clubs no matter how young he was. He was done with heartbreak. He wanted something real.

"I know..." Jungkook whispered. "I know."

~~~

When Jungkook walked into the café the next day he felt full of persistance.

He had talked to Taehyung about everything until deep in the night, explaining what he knew about the different versions of Jimin and his past. Getting it all off his chest helped freshen up Jungkook's mind and he was ready to learn how to love the beautiful man he'd met online. He knew things weren't going to be easy... far from it probably. But that was not a reason for Jungkook to back away.

"Morning Jin," Jungkook said, greeting the waiter the moment he laid eyes on him.

Jin was busy placing a new tray of pasteries into a display case but looked up with a smile when he noticed Jungkook. "You're back huh? Good. I would've hunted you down otherwise."

Jungkook decided to take Jin's threat as a joke and looked around the café to locate Jimin.

"Yeah, sorry to disappoint you, right now Lil J. is skateboarding at a ramp nearby," Jin said as if he could read Jungkook's thoughts.

Jungkook tried to act like he hadn't been searching for Jimin but he was an open book. "Oh..." he said, crossing his arms a little akwardly.

"You could meet him..." Jin said, polishing the display case until it shone. "But, I'm not sure if you'd like him as much as Jiminie or Jim. He's a real rascal."

Jungkook smirked, already feeling excited to meet Lil J.

He didn't feel like there could be any version of Jimin that he wouldn't like.

"I'd really love to meet him," Jungkook said, looking at Jin like a child that was asking for candy.

Jin shook his head fondly and checked the clock. "I'll show you the place it's at really quickly. Come on."

~~~

Young kids and adults that dressed like thugs were crowded at a nearby skatingpark behind the cafè.

They played basketball, raced down a dangerously high ramp, and some shady men were giving each other little bags of substances that Jungkook didn't dare look at for too long.

Jin located Lil J. within seconds and pointed at a man that was forming a basketball team with some teenage boys. "There he is," he said, giving a small smile when he saw his brother.

Jin patted Jungkook's back and sighed. "Good luck with him. Once you give up, come to the café, I'll give you a free coffee."

Jungkook wanted to look at Jin before the man left but his eyes were too focused on Lil J.

The man looked excactly like the type of people Jungkook looked up to when he was young. The people in music videos teenage Jungkook idolized and tried to replicate.

Lil J. was wearing sweatpants, a baggy tanktop and a cap that covered up his grey hair even though quite chilly outside. But what truly captured Jungkook's eyes were the boy's biceps he had somehow failed to notice before.

Jiminie wore a vest over his arms and Jim a blazer, both covering up the canons the boy definetly had. Well that was hot, Jungkook thought, pressing his lips together when he felt his mouth water.

"Hey Lil J. I think that dude over there is staring at you," a kid on Lil J.'s basketball team suddenly said, turning Lil J. torwards Jungkook and pointing at the student. He said something else Jungkook couldn't understand and glanced at Jungkook as if to tell the man he should run.

Jungkook felt his courage sink to his shoes and paled slightly. Fuck, fuck, fuck get yourself together Kook if Jin says it's okay, it's okay.

Lil J. walked towards Jungkook with big steps and eyecontact that made Jungkook want to flee. Was this filter even scarier than Jim? How was that possible?

"Hey you're Jungkook right?" Lil J. said more than asked, quickly nearing the petrified Jungkook.

When the man stopped in front of the student he raised his chin as if he could look down on Jungkook that way. "I heard some stuff about you. You're the new toy for the fags."

Jungkook raised an indignant brow, needing to repress the urge to ask Lil J. to excuse himself.

"The fags?" He asked, quickly coming to the realisation that Lil J. probably wasn't gay.

"Yeah, Jim, Jiminie, bitch ass Minne."

"Minnie?" Jungkook asked right away, the forbidden name making him eager to learn more about the secretive filter.

Lil J. huffed and kicked away a pebble. "Yeah Minnie's a fucking slut. Keeps getting us hurt... like we don't have enough of that shit. Fucking piece of crap."

Jungkook felt as if each swearword leaving Lil J.'s mouth was directed at him and they felt like punches to the gut. How could this filter speak so horribly about another? Surely Minnie couldn't be that bad.

"You dislike Minnie the most? Jungkook asked, holding his chin as if he was interviewing Lil J.

"Definetly," Lil. J said as he nodded. "But Jiminie's a close second. The princess nearly died our hair pink, like what the fuck!"

Now Jungkook knew Lil J. wasn't making any sense. Jiminie was the purest little cutie!

"And also that one time Jiminie got together with this shady guy. The idiot told this dude about us and everything, only for it to turn out that the man had this weird fetish and stayed with him because he wanted to try to fuck all of us."

Jungkook's lips parted. "What the..."

"I know right? Messed up shit. I almost knocked the son of a bitch out when he tried to lay his filthy hands on me."

Lil J. looked away pushed his tounge against his cheek. "Well it hasn't been the first time... I'm done with people treating us like shit. If you hurt any of us I'm coming at you with everything I got you hear me?"

Jungkook gulped harshly, nodding and straightening up as if he were in the military.

"Aight well I ain't got time for you right now," Lil J. said, already walking away. "I'm about to beat those kids in basketball."

Jungkook suddenly felt panicked. No don't leave! "Wait!"

Lil J. turned around and perked up a brow.

"Can I... join your game? Jungkook asked carefully. "I'll lead the opposing team."

Jungkook let a cheeky smirk bend his lips. "Unless you're afraid of losing..."

Lil J. scoffed indignantly, looking away as if that possibility was completely unimaginable.

"Yo, don't get things twisted, if you touch me in any way I'll bust your ass," he said, looking like he still had many doubts about this.

Jungkook nodded with a dumb smile, praying silently the bratty boy would let him play.

Lil J. sighed, and scanned Jungkook competely before he answered. "Aight fine..."

Jungkook contained himself from releasing a thrilled sound and grinned.

"But let's make this more interesting with a bet..." Lil J. said right after he agreed to let Jungkook play. "If I win, you pay me 50 dollars."

Jungkook's lips parted at the unexpectedness of the bet, but he knew that now was the chance for him to place his own demand.

"O-okay... well if I win... I want you to go on a date with me."

Jungkook saw Jimin visibly gulp and secretely loved to see it. Maybe this boy wasn't straight as a line after all...

"F-fine," Jimin said after a moment of pondering. "But get ready to lose."
