Jimin's so interesting. I can see why Jungkook talks about him so much. He's cute and his bland exterior is actually really endearing once you really start talking to him. I led us to a book store near by. It has cats and a little cafe inside which doesn't fit his vibe but that's the point. I was thinking that maybe it would brighten his mood a bit. He just seems very... sad.

"You know.... I have heard you talk before..." I trailed off. I don't want to push him but I feel like he has no reason not to just talk to me. I wouldn't judge him at all. He shook his head and frowned.

"I would never say anything about it. Jimin if you want to talk to me you can. At any time and I promise I will never make fun of you. You're too sweet." I sent him a sincere smile and for a quick second I saw the ends of his lips curve upwards.

He looked so much softer even with just a small smile. Jimin gave me a small nod before I focused back to where we were walking. The shop was small and practically empty. No one but the adorable cats roaming the shelves, the workers and one other woman.

"I hope you like cats." He smiled. He actually smiled when one of the cats came to him. The calico cat rubbed up against the fabric of his oversized pants and purred.

"He likes you." I told him and the smile never left his face. He looks so content right now. I've never seen him really smile like that. Or at all until today.

He bent down and stroked the cats fur a couple times before picking him up. Just as happy as ever.

"So Jimin this is my place. I hang out here when I'm feeling down. It's relaxing." He nodded looking around at all the books and the tiny coffee shop.

"Are you thirsty?" He reached into his pocket pulling out his wallet and phone.

I walked away to get the coffee and while the woman in front of me order I could still see Jimin. He was whispering something to the cat in his lap. They sat in the old burgundy leather couch. I smiled when the cat pawed at Jimins hand playfully. Seeing Jimin smile so bright was just so gratifying.

"Hi sir what can I get for you?" The barista asked.

"Hi! Yes can I get 2 iced americanos?" She nodded typing something down before looking back up at me.

"Anything else?" She smiled and looking at the food display I saw a bagel that actually looked pretty good.

"Can I have a bagel too?" She nodded and typed that in too.

"That'll be all then." I told her and handed her my card.

"It's 13.56 is that okay?" I nodded. She swiped it and handed it back to me telling me our drinks and bagel should be ready soon.

I looked back over at the couch to find that Jimin was still there playing with the cat. But this time someone else was also sitting in the lounge area. Someone I'm sure Jimin didn't even notice. Jungkook. He was dressed in black with a mask over his mouth and his hood up. His looks alone were sketchy but the way he stared at the black haired boy was sketchier. 

Jungkook told me after that incident in the middle of the street that he was done. He didn't want to make Jimin suffer anymore. He hadn't realized how much the younger was hurting. Jungkook honestly thought Jimin didn't care too much because he never said anything about it. But now I see why. Jimin can't. He literally can't say anything to defend himself.
