Acceptance

Don't hide from me

Jungkook was irritated and upset, he'd just landed back in Korea. They had managed to finish up early as Suga had so many shots of Jimin that a half day of just Jungkook was easy, except for the fact that the atmosphere was tense.
Jungkook had got back to the villa once he realised he hadn't seen Jimin for a while, he'd been delayed by a drunk Tae and Hobi, who insisted he join them dancing so when he eventually got back it was very late.
He slipped into the villa quietly, then wondered, would Jimin want him to sleep in his room with him.he remembered the altercation on the boat he'd been so angry at the girl but Jimin had been.... Well he'd smiled but was it genuine? Would he have nightmares or be ok? He'd been so happy today until that bitch started, he'd overheard her talking calling Jimin names.....hang on he thought , wasn't that what his parents had called him before beating him up? How was he so calm? Worriedly Jungkook made his way to Jimins room carefully opening the door. The room was quiet,too quiet, Jungkook could see the bed by the moonlight coming in through the window it was empty, he switched the wall light on and looked around in shock, wardrobes stood open and empty, there was not a sign of Jimin having been there.
He rushed out to the other rooms finding a note on the coffee table;
Dear Jungkook
Sorry to leave you in the lurch, I know I was supposed to shoot tomorrow but it was the same outfits from the boat so I hope Suga has enough, I know it's not very responsible and if you feel I have breached my contract I understand and will take the consequences.I will apologise to Namjoon too. I'm sorry you had to reveal your secret , it seems I'm quite the jinx, thank you for trying to brighten my day it meant a lot to me.
Jimin
Jungkook slumped down he should have known Jimin was fragile after that bitches remarks.
He got up trying to phone Jimins number but all he got was ,' we cannot connect'
Throwing his phone down he sat there wondering how Jimin must be doing, eventually his eyes drifted shut and he fell into a troubled sleep.
On waking the next day he tries Jimins phone again getting the same result, he phones Namjoon asking if Jimin had been in touch which he had ,telling Namjoon virtually the same as he told Jungkook but also apologising for betraying the trust Namjoon had always given him, asking for a leave of abscence if he wasn't already fired.
"I'm worried about him Kook, he's a friend as well as an employee,from what you say that bitch said virtually the same as his parents accused him off so no matter how much better you say he was getting that had to have had some effect on him."
"Don't worry I'll find him when I get back," Jungkook said.
He somehow got through the day making an excuse of Jimin needed elsewhere urgently to the rest of the crew, Suga the only one who seemed a bit suspicious but saying he had enough shots of Jimin to cover, so the day progressed and the next morning everyone caught the flight home arriving early evening, all saying their goodbyes before leaving for home.
Jungkook drove to Jimins , no lights were on but he rang the bell anyway a neighbour going out said Jimin must be working as he had come home but left soon after with a small suitcase.
Jungkook went home, he had some food and then decided to call Jimins number again, eventually it was picked up,"mmmhhhm?" A voice mumbled.
"Jimin! Finally where are you?"
"Is that Koooookie, I'm here,"
"Jimin are you drunk?"
"I hop sho, I heard you can jink til yush feel numb,I don wanna feel anyfink, sho I shud jink shine more," Jimin mumbled out clearly very drunk.
"Jimin tell me where you are I'll come to you,"
"Nah, I wanna stay heeere cos I'm nah gud for anywun, Kookie eferthink goes wrung,wooooh look it's spinning heehee, rown an rown we gooooo!"
"You need to tell me where you are please Jimin I want to help don't hide from me."
"Hide n seek, hic, oops , ugh, I'm fyn Koooookie lots of bottles, but I gotta go now I feel........." the phone clicked off leaving Jungkook frustrated and worried he knew Jimin wasn't much of a drinker but he sounded like he had gone overboard.
He called a friend who was an investigator "Jackson I need your help, quickly, he gave him details of Jimin and a picture saying he needed him found as soon as possible, his friend assured him he'd get straight onto it.
Two days passed, Jungkook couldn't get through to Jimin, he was getting more worried when his friend called him," Jeju island, beach rd no6 "
Jungkook thanked him then informed Namjoon and said he was leaving straight away.
Once on the island he hired a car and drove to the property, knocking on the door he received no answer, he thought maybe Jimin was out but tried the door in case. It opened to a darkened room that stunk of alcohol, he pulled the curtains open to see bottles strewn everywhere and lying curled up on the floor with a bloodied cut on his hairline Jimin.
He ran to the boys aid picking him up and placing him on a sofa, he was relieved when he got to hear a moan from the small boy, he found a bathroom so filling a bowl with soapy water and grabbing a towel he took it to the boy cleaning the wound which luckily wasn't too bad just bled a lot," leave me lone sonofabitch," Jimin muttered surly.
"Oh no you don't ," Jungkook carried the boy to the bathroom stripped of his clothes and turned the shower on him,"aaah no it's f-freezing," Jimin was suddenly more alert, Jungkook let it run cold for a while then turned it warm washing the boy clean free of the alcohol smell.Turning the shower off he picked the boy up stood him next to a sink and handed him a toothbrush and paste," clean you reek," he left jimin there as he went to find something for Jimin to put on choosing a T shirt and boxers, fetching Jimin out he dried him dressed him and carried him to the clean newly made bed , wait here" going to his case he had brought he took out some medication then a glass of water," swallow," he ordered," right now sleep for a while you will feel better," he said looking at the pale boy with dark circles around his eyes," have you eaten?"
"Hawaii..." Jimin murmured.
"For gods sake Jimin what are you trying to do kill yourself through alcohol poisoning or starving yourself," Jungkook angrily asked only to be stunned when Jimin replied" who cares either will do," then he turned on his side closed his eyes and went to sleep. Jungkook stared at the boy sadly. He got up closing the bedroom door then set about cleaning up the place opening windows to freshen up the place and looking in cupboards to find them bare, grabbing his car keys he drove to a convenience store not far away and stocking up with food, making an old fashioned hangover soup that smelt delicious. Putting some in a bowl he ate it quickly then poured some for Jimin and took it into him, setting it on a cabinet he woke the boy up,"oh god my head," Jimin moaned," sit up and eat this then I'll get you some more tablets. Jimin sipped on the soup managing three quarters of it before pushing it away full.
Jungkook fetched some water and tablets which Jimin took then he struggled out of bed," need to pee," he muttered, Jungkook waited until he was back then set him back in bed while he went and washed up.
Going back to the bedroom he saw Jimins arm over his eyes, small snores escaping.
Jungkook undressed down to his boxers and slipped into the bed where Jimin as if drawn to a magnet curled into Jungkooks side laying a small hand on the others chest .
Jungkook sighed, this boy drove him nuts, but he couldn't help liking him a lot.
As night fell the two males slept entwined in each other both needing the other one close.
