Acceptance

Shared secrets

Jungkook looked at the message Namjoon had sent. Irritated he decided to drive over to his house. Parking up he rang the doorbell," hi Jin where is he?"
"Study, but..."
Jungkook stormed in the house yelling, " Namjoon what the hell is this just because your my brother you forget I own half the company, no way am I sharing a villa with staff so your favourite has a place to himself, don't pander to an employee so much....oh!"
Jungkook came to a stop in the study seeing Namjoon standing looking nervously at Jimin who sat in front of him, shit he just let him know he was Joons brother and part owner!"
"Y-you two are brothers ...and partners?"
Jungkook was annoyed with himself he'd kept it quiet all these years," yes we are but it's not known so don't talk about it,all I want to know is why you need preferential treatment ," Jungkook said waving his arms around to emphasis his point," do you think your better than other people," he said angrily getting in Jimins face.
Jimin felt himself shaking, no not now he thought, but the angry look and the flailing hands took him too that old memory," it wasn't me I didn't do it ," he whispered cowering away from the other male," it's not my fault.....,"
Jungkook froze clearly seeing the others distress, did he think he was going to hit him?!?!
"JIN!!" Namjoon yelled.
Jin came in instantly seeing the situation ," come with me my baby , Jinny will take care of you," he glared at Jungkook whilst leading the shaking boy out.
"What the fuck?"
Namjoon sighed," I suppose I should tell you.". He proceeded to tell Jungkook Jimins history, leaving nothing out, telling him how Jimin felt no self worth since the incident ." I found the story online, his parents didn't admit they were wrong, told him it was all his fault that he was a disgrace to the family, beat the shit out of him,never once apologising for the uncles behaviour for the fact that their son was nearly raped, all because the uncle had money which they used as a meal ticket. Jimin doesn't go out, convinced people won't like him, that they will see something bad in him as his parents did, he isolated himself rather than deal with life."
"Shit,I didn't help, I've got to apologise."
They both left the study and found Jimin and Jin sitting on a sofa in the sitting room.
Jungkook knelt in front of the smaller male," Jimin I'm sorry, I should never have acted like that, I let my temper get the better of me and I was wrong, truth is I was quite looking forward to spending time with you and when Joon messaged me about you having the place to yourself I took it as a sign you didn't like me."
"It's my fault Jungkook ,Jimin didn't know about the message."
"It's  maybe better it happened, Jimin you know my secret ....and ....Namjoon told me yours."
Jungkook looked at the boy hoping he wouldn't storm out at that knowledge. Instead Jimin nodded. Twiddling his fingers," I told Namjoon my story it's only right as an owner you should know it too."
"But I'm really sorry Jimin it couldn't have been nice to have me shouting at you, that's why Namjoon does the business side ,I suck as a boss."
Jimin looked at the other seeing how he could laugh at himself, he giggled," that's ok I suck at lots of things."
For some reason Jungkooks mind went off point as he imagined something Jimin could suck on.
Clearing his throat he spoke again," so can you forgive me, it's ok I'll bunk in with the staff."
"No.......,I've let this rule me for too long, I -I want to live again, I want friends,I used to have them, why am I letting them rule me still , I did nothing wrong!" Jimin burst out, feeling a weight lift from him as he let out his real feelings.
"Way to go my baby I'm so proud of you," Jin said.
Jungkook grabbed the small boys hands in his and pulled him up swinging him around,"yay!" He said then stopped," oh sorry,too much too soon?" He said worriedly putting the boy down and stepping back.
Jimin giggled delightedly," your right you suck at diplomacy," he said, going to Jungkook and grabbing one of his big hands in both of his small ones," thank you for bringing me to my senses, I've made everyone pussyfoot around me, but no more, if they don't like me it will be because of a real reason not one I've allowed to happen, now I should go so you can do your family thing,"
"No Jimin we invited you to eat, this one will want feeding too so stay please."
Jimin looked around at the others who nodded,
"right I'll go get started " Jin said.
"Erm.... Can I help?" Jimin asked.
"Can you cook?
"No...I thought I should be polite," Jimin said cheekily his smile beaming
"Ah this is what I wanted," Namjoon said.
Everyone looked at him quizzically .
"I first saw Jimin smile when he was helping at our grandmothers care home, he was dancing for the old people who clapped along, everyone looked so happy, but Jimin your smile was like a ray of light, I haven't seen it much since."
Jimin blushed, "I never felt they judged me, I felt free working with them I even go on my days off, I miss your grandma though, she called me Chimmy as she could never hear my name properly."
"Your Chimmy?" Jungkook said surprised, " she always spoke about wonderful Chimmy , how she wished she could take care of you."
Jin sniffed," Aw stop it you'll make me cry, "
" No no crying, Jin is it ok if we go to the study to discuss the photoshoot?"
"Of course now scram so I can go cook."
The next hour they discussed the theme which was casual summer and beach wear, a boat shoot and one with two local models." Try not to let your hormones get the better of you Jungkook."
"Can I help it if men and women find me attractive ? Hey Jimin wouldn't you think I was attractive at first sight?"
Jimin gulped," I - I haven't thought about it," he lied, he was surprised at how much the other entered his head.
"What! My stunning beauty didn't knock you for six! What's your type then?"
"I don't know, I've not had a partner, I think I like men more than girls but since........ but he made me feel dirty if I was gay."
" you mean your a vir.... Oops shut up Jungkook ," he told himself off.
Jimin snickered," if I was to think about it...., maybe your good looking, but then, it goes downhill once they get to know you," he said tongue in cheek.
Namjoon burst out laughing," oh I like this Jimin!"
A shout from outside called them to the dining room where they ate and joked , Jimin having fun for the first time in a long time .
