Luxuria's Darkness

Chapter 39: I trust you.

Taehyung was in his office. He took over Jin and Yoongi's job now that they weren't there. They were at the hospital, one for Sophia, the other one for Jasmine. He was happy that Jasmine was finally found, but he believed that the worst part is about to come. He handed over to the detective everything he had gathered about Jackson, while keeping a copy for himself just in case the detective could be bought. He didn't gave out that vibe, however people could be easily persuaded by a large cheque.

He heard a loud thud outside and he rushed to see what had happened. When he saw Jimin on the floor full of sweat, he had no idea what might have happened to him and why was he in that condition. He took a hold of him and managed to drag him in his office.

"Jimin?" He yelled at him, shaking him to come to his senses. Jimin's leg was stiff as if his muscles were cramped.

That's when the realization hit him. Jimin's leg was acting up again. Based on his silent observation over time, he knew Jimin was a chameleon. He hid his feelings behind a mask, he never once mentioned how he truly felt. When the others asked him how was his knee, he always gave short answers and shut them off immediately. Now it made sense why. He was trying to act like nothing was bothering him. Recently he was dancing more than usual.

In the moment he heard that Sophia had pushed him away, he should have pressed the subject more, maybe he could have avoided this moment. It was weird to think that they were so close, yet so far apart. Neither of them took their moment to confess their true feelings. Everyone had something to hide.

He took out his phone and called Namjoon. Together they took Jimin to the hospital. While the doctor checked Jimin, Yoongi came to see what had happened.

"I think his knee is acting up again." Taehyung explained. "I found him unconscious on the floor."

"That idiot." Yoongi rubbed the back of his neck. "He is pushing himself too much."

"I think he is hurt." Taehyung pointed out.

"No shit Sherlock? If he was okay he wouldn't be here." Yoongi replied.

"I wasn't talking about actual pain, I was talking about his feelings. Ever since Sophia pushed him away, he started dancing even more. I think he is trying to fill the void she left behind." Taehyung explained.

Yoongi finally understood. He hadn't noticed any change in his behavior, but then again, Jimin always knew how to hide his feelings. "I should have known." He replied.

"We all should have known." Taehyung pointed out.

Yoongi shook his head. "You are right. What are we going to do about him?"

"I don't know yet. I'll think of something."

"What's going on?" She turned her attention on Taehyung. "Why do you look worried?" "

"Jimin is in the emergency room." Yoongi answered.

Sophia asked panicked. "What happened?"

"It's his knee. I think." Taehyung added.

"You think?" Sophia asked dryly.

"I found him unconscious." Taehyung explained. He didn't really think that she had a right to know.

"And you didn't think to let me know what's going on?"

"Why would you care anyway? Should I remind you, you pushed him away more than once." Taehyung went on.

Yoongi's eyes widened at the shock of hearing Taehyung speak like that. Tears gathered in Sophia's eyes, and she took a step back. Taehyung tried to reach her, but she just brushed him off.
