The Kim twins

Chapter 38: Minnie.

Yoongi watched in amusement how his boyfriend was trying to blend in, to make himself invisible. It never worked. The truth was, when Yoongi bullied him, he could have done so much worse. He could have destroyed Jimin to the point of no return. He knew all his hiding spots, knew how small Jimin would make himself to make others feel bigger.

Not once, Jimin thought about himself, it was always about the others. Jimin was the type of person that would give his own life for the one he cared about, without battling an eye. He was truly selfless. Yoongi never had the intention to break him. He didn't want the younger to suffer more at his hands. He always watched from afar, memorizing every little thing that made Jimin, Jimin.

He sensed that something was terribly wrong. Jimin shouldn't have a reason to hide himself. No one would have dared going against Yoongi and Harley. It would have been a suicide. So he decided to follow him. Yoongi entered Jimin's secret room and his heart broke.

Jimin was on the floor, hugging his knees, his head hidden behind his arms, sobbing uncontrollably. He didn't waste another second, and hugged the boy.

"Minnie, what happened?" Jimin shook his head and said nothing. Yoongi didn't want to insist in making him talk. He sat next to the younger, arms wrapped around his tiny body, whispering sweet nothings into his ears.

It took Jimin a couple of minutes to calm himself. Being held by Yoongi, was making him feel better. He wasn't alone anymore, he had someone. Someone that would protect him, care for him, be there for him when he needed it the most. He raised his head and looked at Yoongi with glossy eyes, tiny droplets of water hanging on his eyelashes. His eyes were puffy and red.

Yoongi had never seen anything similar, or equally beautiful as his Jiminie. Perhaps only Harley. He caressed his cheeks with his thumbs, wiping his tears away.

"Do you want to talk to me now?" He whispered, but frowned when he saw his busted lip.

"My father." Jimin whispered back. He lowered his head, ashamed for what his father did to him.

Yoongi nodded with his head. "Why?"

"He hates me for being bi." Jimin took a deep breath. "He demanded that I break up with you and Harley."

"Minnie, does your father hit you?"

Jimin wanted to hide it. Hide everything away. Push it in a far away corner and set it on fire. He wanted to lie and say that he was fine, that his father never raised his hand on him. Staring now into Yoongi's eyes, he knew he couldn't hide the truth.

"Yes." He whimpered.

"I'm going to kill him." Yoongi growled as he got up to his feet.

Jimin, who was still on the floor, grabbed his wrist. "Please don't." He begged. "Stay with me. Don't leave me."

As Yoongi stared into Jimin's puppy eyes, his anger dissolved as acid. He pinched the bridge of his nose and took a deep breath. "I'll never leave you pumpkin." He lowered himself and pecked Jimin's plum lips. "I love you sweetheart."

"I..." He couldn't say those words back. He like Yoongi, but he wasn't sure that he could love the one that brought tears to his eyes a while ago.

Yoongi smiled sadly. "It's ok." He pecked the tip of his nose. "You don't have to force yourself."

"I like you." Jimin hastily replied. "I'm not ready for..."

"I will wait for you to be ready. Now, is there a first aid kit around here?" Jimin nodded and pulled the kit from under the bed. It was filled with bandages, ointments and rubbing alcohol. Yoongi took what he needed. "This is going to sting a bit." He put a bit of alcohol on a piece of cotton and gently cleaned his lip wound. He blew some hot air to make it hurt less. Then, he picked up the ointment and dabbed some on the lip.

"Thank you." Jimin whispered.

"Anytime Minnie."

"Can you hold me?"

Yoongi scooped him in his arms, and sat on the bed with Jimin on his lap. "I can hold you for as long as you want."

"Why do you like me?" Jimin suddenly asked.

"Why wouldn't I like you?"

"Because you don't know me."

"Minnie." Yoongi cupped his face. "I know every little detail of yours."

"I don't think so." Jimin replied shaking his head. "You can't know that."

"I like how your eyes turn into crescent moons when you smile wholeheartedly. I love how you pout when things don't go your way. How you rub your nose when you think hard of something, how you stand with your heels glued together. I know everything sweetheart."

Jimin was speechless. "I didn't know."

"You weren't supposed to." Yoongi chuckled.

"Thank you."

"For?"

"For caring about me enough to know me."

Yoongi tightened his grip. "Like I said, I love you. I also have a shit tone of sins to atone when it comes to you."

A week had passed since the incident between Harley and principal Park. All the students gushed about the principal's car and the state he found it. Of course, by now everyone knew who did it. The note was pretty much suggestive and incriminatory. Yoongi couldn't take it anymore. Harley's silent treatment was hurting his heart.

Jin told him to give her space. But days had passed and she still didn't make any attempt to talk to him. He marched to her room and started pounding at the door. He took a step back when Harley opened it. Her hair looked like a bird nest, she had deep dark circles under her eyes and she was basically swallowed by her oversize hoodie.

"What?" She asked raising her eyebrow.

"Where were you? Why are you ignoring me?" Yoongi demanded to know.

Harley rolled her eyes and got back inside her room. "You coming in, or stand there as a demon in front of the entrance to hell?"

He shook his head and closed the door behind him. He sat on her bed and stared at her. "What is going on? Minnie and I, we are missing you."

"Huh." She chuckled. "Nice to see my absence is noticed."

Yoongi glared at her. "You know damn well that there are three in this relationship. It's not whole if one of us is missing."

"How cute." She said dryly. "You must love me."

"Is this what is about?" Yoongi got up to his feet. "Because I didn't say those three words?"

Harley smiled sadly. "Don't kid yourself. There are more important things in this world than you saying it."

Yoongi grabbed her arms and smashed his lips on hers. "I love you. I should have said it sooner."

"Why didn't you?" She bit her lower lip.

"I'm scared." He took a step back and ran his hand through his hair. "I'm scared my father will hurt you."

"I love you too." Harley said it back. "And your father can't do jack shit to me."

"How are you so sure?" Yoongi tilted his head.

"Because, for the last a week or so, I gathered evidence. You need to call Namjoon and Jin. We have to talk."
