#18: Fated to meet

"A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it."

Jungkook:

An almost inaudible creak of the front door opening was heard in the dead of the night.

I immediately jumped awake in my bedroom where I was tossing sleeplessly in my bed while Jeo was passed out on my other side. After the events that took place earlier, I was naturally more cautious. I carefully got out of bed and silently opened the bottom drawer of my nightstand and pulled out a taser.

I noiselessly left the room and tentatively stood outside the door ears perked for any sounds of footsteps. I didn't dare move an inch away from the door, waiting for the trespasser to come to me instead because from the sounds downstairs it was only one person, and surprisingly the person didn't give me dangerous vibes.

Another reason I was not worried was that the amount of security around the house was increased ten folds from what it was before and believe me when I say this but the previous level of security was strict too. So the extra security defiantly sounded ridiculous but I didn't question it partly because of what yoongi had told me - after I had gotten home and called him - had shaken me to my core too.

But the point was that with the security, only some people would have access and that was only immediate family. So it was most possible Yoongi or Jin.

And yet I couldn't help but feel wary and a little afraid as I recalled all the things Jimin had told me wasn't he also abducted despite the high protection?

I had come home and immediately checked my phone to find missed calls. The first one, a call from my ex tae, I ignored and had called Jimin yet the call went to voice message.

I was tired and worried. And could only imagine what Jimin must have felt like, alone and helpless, in Milan.

It was all my fault once again.

My body tensed as I heard the approaching footsteps I held out the teaser one finger on the button.

The automatic lights turned on as the intruder walked over.

I waited silently just as the intruder was around the corner I suddenly caught a whiff of Bleu De Chanel in the air and I immediately lowered the taser. Bleu de Chanel was Jimin's favorite perfume.

As if on cue, the man himself stepped around the corner and jumped when he saw me standing there.

"Damn Jungkook! You scared the shit out of me!" Jimin exclaimed, his eyes were tired and yet that was the only thing that gave off that he was worried. But when I looked closely I realized his hair was slightly messy and his coat slightly askew but not enough to be noticed, however to me these little imperfections made him seem more human.

Before I knew it I had crossed a couple of steps between us and hugged him, "I scared the shit out of you?" I heard myself ask wrapped in his familiar cologne, "What about you scaring the shit out of everyone here?" I managed, as the worry within me started to give way to relief.

Jimin frowned but he hugged me back, "I am okay and I am glad you are okay too," He mumbled tiredly, "Jeo?"

"He is asleep." Jimin parted and I couldn't help but feel the loss of warmth and think how perfect Jimin felt in my arms, I frowned slightly at the thought and tell myself it was just because I was worried about him that I felt this way.

Jimin opened the door and peeked in before closing the door again as he turned to me, "You can go to sleep if you want I will talk to Yoongi or Taehyung first and know more about the situation at hand before I go to sleep."
