Masked Love

CHAPTER 14

GENERAL HOSPITAL - HALLWAY

Jimin: 'What do I do? Divorce? I can't have a weakness if I am to continue with this job...'

At hearing that statement, Jungkook panicked...

Jungkook: 'No, Jimin!'

Jungkook croaked out the exclamation without thinking. It was quiet and hoarse because his throat was not working properly.

Jimin: 'Jungkook?'

Jimin looked up in surprise as Jungkook came around the corner and stood before him. Jimin was confused. What was Jungkook doing there? What had he heard? Jimin decided to play it off.

Jimin: 'Have they finished checking your wounds? Are you ready to leave?'

Jungkook brushed off the question, not concerned with that at the moment. 'I am fine, Jimin. That doesn't matter.'

Jimin: 'It does, Kook. You were kidnapped...beaten...are you fine? Your safety is everything.'

"You are everything, Jimin.'

It was quiet a moment. Jimin stared at Jungkook, not certain what to do with the situation.

Jungkook looked down contemplating the best way to word his feelings then looked at Jimin intently. 'I am not a weakness for you...I am home.'

Jungkook grabbed Jimin's hand. He didn't care what was going on, what Jimin was... killer, mafia, dancer, businessman... he was his smiling Jimin. He was beautiful to Jungkook and life would be pretty bloody miserable without him. Jungkook couldn't even fathom what Jimin's life consisted of or how it felt to be him, but Jungkook wanted to be there for him.

'Jungkook...' Jimin whispered his name quietly.

Jungkook: 'When you go out and burn down the city, you can come home...to me... I want you happy...with me...'

Jimin looked at Jungkook a moment then glanced at the phone, realizing that Yoon was still on the line.

Jimin: 'I'll talk to you later, Yoon Hyung...huh?...yes, I know it is a valid point...later!'

Jimin watched Jungkook carefully. He was adamant and earnest. There was no hesitation in his face and his hand was solid, not even the slightest amount of tremor in his touch.

Jimin: 'Are you really okay with this. What I did today...what I was like didn't freak you out?'

Jungkook took a deep breath: 'I would be lying if I said no because that was pretty astounding. You fucking dropped down from a second floor without making any noise, knocked that huge ass guy out with your head...which, by the way, are you are okay?'

Jungkook went to touch Jimin head, just now realizing what it must have taken to do that. Jimin snickered at Jungkook obvious concern and nodded, allowing Jungkook to move in and gently touch his head.  His hans were gently as he checked through Jimin's hair.

Jimin laughed 'I am fine...just fine. Of course it hurt at first, but i was so angry at him I didn't feel it for long. He was lucky I was more concerned about you.'

He looked up at Jungkook as his hands slid down to cup Jimin's face. They locked eyes, both feeling the heat of their attraction.

Jungkook smiled. 'You were some kind of superhuman, which was cool and scary at the same time and... although I didn't see you beat up the other three, you took them on and won!'

His hands traveled further along Jimin's neck, shoulders and down his arms, lifting them, looking for any signs of injury or damage but only seeing a couple of small scrapes.
