DOLL [vmin]

18: truth

Jimin hasn't shown up all day, which didn't go unnoticed by a specific dark haired man. Yes he was working in the basement but he hadn't seen jimin at all. When he got lunch and dinner, the house was too silent. Sunhee had gone to the village to get new groceries and send off orders. It made the mansion coldly quiet.

"Jimin?" Taehyung called as he stood in the main hall. hearing his voice echo away. "hm..." he didn't get a response so he headed to the first place he thought jimin might be if it wasn't the dance hall. The doll's bedroom. Nearing the gold decorated door he knocked softly not wanting to startle the other if he was inside. But when Taehyung still didn't get a response, he went inside. peeking his head through the opening looking around. Luckily the doll was here but he wondered why Jimin didn't respond with an 'come in' or something close to that.

"Jimin?" He said walking inside and closing the door behind him. He looked at Jimin who was sitting behind the table in front of the mirror, but his eyes were looking into an opened elegant box. Taehyung halted in his steps seeing jimin was looking at his heart. Taehyung saw the black spots on his own heart and looked away clearing his throat. He didn't need to see it, he didn't want to see it. he didn't want to see his fate...

"Oh, i'm sorry i didn't notice you" jimin said snapping from his daze. he quickly closed the box locking it again and turned his head to the dollmaker.

"is something wrong? I haven't seen you all day..."

"I was here. i didnt feel like doing anything. so i went to check up on your..heart" jimin glanced at the box. yes that was true but what was mostly on his mind was a doll, what she said. Jimin had questions. He wanted to get answers but he didn't want to go there again. Doll scared Jimin. There is something really unsettling about her. She is so different from the other dolls. it might be just because she can talk and move just like him. She had her own mind just like him. They were the most similar here. only she was locked away while jimin roamed freely on his own new legs.

"Oh I see...won't you come dance..with me? '' Taehyung asked. He wanted to dance with the others.

"dance with you? you want to dance with me?" Jimin was surprised to hear that.

"yes, i want to dance with you" taehyung had enjoyed dancing himself as well but he never did it again after his father changed. Taehyung didn't feel the same joy for dancing anymore. but now he had jimin he felt like he should try it again, dancing with jimin was a beautiful thought in his mind.

"Sure, I would like that" Jimin felt happy and stood up, the complicated thought leaving his head for this moment.

"this is my favorite song, you might have noticed by now" taehyung said stepping on the stage after he put the music on from the back. Jimin stood ready, his beautiful eyes following the artist approaching.

"I have, it's a beautiful song so I don't mind. '' Jimin said Taehyung always played this song. but Jimin did not mind at all. It was perfect to dance to.

"Well then. May I have this dance, my prince?" Taehyung asked, bending forward and extending his hand while the other was resting on his back. his dark eyes looking at jimin who seems to be flustered seeing how his eyes blinked a few times.

The doll put his hand in Taehyung's and soon followed the man's lead. It felt natural to let the dollmaker take the lead even if Jimin was the real dancer here. but taehyung knew what to do. moving both of them around their hands wrapped together while he held the doll's slim waist. their feet moved in sync until he pun the boy around once surprising jimin who giggled liking the new move.

It was a great moment for both of them. being so close and sharing what they enjoy the most. Taehyung looking at the precious doll he made to come alive. and Jimin looked at the man that gave him a new life, a man he will always follow...
