Coffee And Bullets | Yoonmin

5

They both enter the house as Yoongi closes the door behind him securely. Jimin sat on the couch as Yoongi went to the kitchen to get him some water. He came back to see the boy sitting on the corner of the couch clutching his knees.

"Here drink some water" Yoongi handed out the bottle to Jimin, "Can you tell me what happened?" he asked sitting beside him.

Jimin nodded and turned towards Yoongi,

Jimin was waiting in the cafe thinking Yoongi would visit as he does every day. It was quite late he decides to close the cafe and go back home as no one showed up. He locked the cafe and started walking towards his house when he remembers he forgot his house keys on the counter. He walks back opening the cafe, he didn't switch on any lights as he knew the cafe inch by inch and he just wanted to grab the keys quickly and go home.

He grabbed his keys and walked out of the cafe locking it securely, he suddenly heard some muffled noises coming from the alley. He knew the alley was always empty, so these noises created curiosity. The night was dark and silent, he walked a little further into the alley and spotted a guy surrounded by three people, it looks like he was explaining something.

 He could see the face of the guy who lit his cigarette with a matchstick, he couldn't make out other's faces as the alley was poorly lit. He spotted a shiny knife in the hands of one of those guys. Jimin tiptoed to hide behind a trashcan trying to pull his phone out to call the police. The atmosphere was very dangerous.

Suddenly the guy with the knife started stabbing the person as the others held him tight. Jimin was shocked and befuddled. He just saw someone getting murdered. Unconsciously he took a step back and stepped on a tin can making a screeching noise, grabbing the attention of the three guys.

Jimin saw one of the guys motioning towards him, and the other guy started walking in his direction. He froze. They saw him.

He managed to run before the other guys could catch up to him. He was running towards his house and saw Yoongi walking in the opposite direction and ran towards him.

"I saw him Yoongi, stabbing him ruthlessly," he said hanging his head down low as tears fall down his eyes.

Yoongi took Jimin into his hands, resting his head on his chest. 

"I'm sorry you had to witness that Jimin" he stroked his hair calming him down as Jimin wrapped his hands around Yoongi.

"So you are a police officer?" Jimin remembered how he took his gun out and showed his badge to the other officers.

"Yes..."

"Do you have any idea who did this?"

"I think I do" Yoongi explained about the case, the information he got about the gang meeting in the alley, and everything. There is a tint of irritation in Yoongi's voice as he spoke about the gang.

"I should have been there today Jimin," Yoongi scowled. He missed the chance to catch those bastards. 

"I think I saw one of their faces" Jimin trailed back to the horrible incident he witnessed, "I couldn't see others clearly but I definitely remember one face."

"I'll take you to the police station tomorrow, this could help us", Yoongi was a little excited about the lead, at the same time he didn't want to push Jimin.

"Ok"

"Go to bed now Jimin, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." Yoongi stood up and was about to walk towards the door. Jimin grabbed his sleeve,

"I am a little scared" he didn't look at Yoongi's face, his head was hung down and his voice was pleading him to stay.

Yoongi didn't argue back, he saw how rattled the boy was when he caught him in his hands. 

"Fine, I'll stay. You go to bed now, I'll manage on the couch" Jimin nodded.

He was grateful that Yoongi stayed back. He got up and walked towards his bedroom bringing out some pillows. He went back to his room wishing good night and turned the lights off. Jimin was tossing and turning on his bed with the event earlier playing in his mind on loop. He kept on thinking about the same scenario where the gang saw and chased him. A sensation of fear crept over him. He couldn't sleep. He wrapped himself with a blanket and walked out of his room to get some water.

"Are you ok Jimin?" a soft whisper came from the couch.

"No" Jimin walked towards the couch, "I keep seeing the same thing Yoongi"

"Here sit with me", Yoongi got up and moved to make some space for the younger. Jimin sat next to him.

"Can I ask you something?" Yoongi turned towards the Jimin

"Hmm"

"How old are you?"

"22, why?"

"You should call me Hyung"

"really? how old are you?"

"I'm 25 and where's my respect" Yoongi huffed making Jimin giggle.

"Yoongi Hyung? Nah !!! I'll call you Yoongi-ah"

"Hey!" Yoongi flicked Jimin's forehead playfully.

"Hyu..ng"

"That's better"

"Hyung shall we watch something," Jimin said turning the TV on.

They started watching some random movie, slowly Jimin drifted into sleep leaning on Yoongi's shoulders. Yoongi slowly moves to reach the remote to turn the TV off. These short movements made Jimin nuzzle even more close to him. Yoongi wanted Jimin to sleep comfortably without thinking anything. He gently stroked the younger's hair as fell asleep resting his head against Jimin.
