Midnight Blues

Help

TaeTae: I'm outside. 

Jimin replied to let Tae know he was coming down. He had folded all the blankets and placed them neatly on the couch. He walked to Jungkook's door and knocked. 

He heard a long groan that made him chuckle to himself. "Jungkook, I'm about to leave. I just wanted to let you know and thank you again." There was silence for a few minutes until Jimin heard scrambling. It almost sounded as if the man on the other side had nearly fallen. 

Not even a minute after the scrambling noise, the door swung open with Jungkook's shirtless figure leaning forward onto the doorframe. Jimin thanked himself, mentally, that he had stopped breathing once he woke up. He knew things would be ungodly if he could smell this man the way he was right now. 

Jungkook still looked sleepy as he rubbed his eyes. "Mmsorry. Do you feel better than yesterday?" His voice was deeper in the morning and Jimin found it so attractive, along with his whole appearance. Jimin gave him a sweet smile, "Yes, thanks for all you did. I owe you something nice."

Jungkook gave Jimin a look that told him he was curious as to what he meant and that made Jimin blush at the realization of how it may have sounded. "I-I mean I owe you a favor of some sort. M-maybe I can get you a nice raise. I've heard good things about your bartending at the club." Jimin looked at the purple haired man and noticed he had moved a little closer, now a little further outside the door. 

Kook's hair hung over his eyes a little but Jimin could still his doe eyes staring at him. They stood there staring at each other  until Jungkook finally spoke. "I look forward to whatever you decide." The smile that crept onto his lips nearly had Jimin swooning but he held himself together. When his phone began to vibrate in his hands, he knew it had to be Tae seeing what was taking so long. 

"My ride's getting worried. I'll see at the club." He walked to the door and Jungkook followed. "Of coarse, Mr. Park." They was a pause after Kook said his name and he licked his lips. Jungkook wanted something. He could almost feel it. Not today.

"Thanks again." Jimin said then opened the door, stepping through to put space between him and Jungkook. The shirtless tease waved at him with another smirk on his lips before stepping back to close the door. Jimin sighed in relief then looked around before he sped down to the lobby and out to Tae's waiting car.

"Shit, I thought I was going to have to kill a human today! Jimin, what the fuck?" Taehyung glared at his bestfriend as he got comfortable in the passenger seat. Jimin laughed at his worried friend but placed a soft hand on his shoulder. "Everything is fine Tae. He doesn't suspect me of anything and he didn't even catch me looking at his hunting gear. He was just looking...very..." Jimin swallowed hard and stopped speaking with a slight roll of his eyes. 

He saw Tae looking at him from his peripheral so he turned to him and Taehyung just shook his head as he looked back at the road. "So why were you even at his place last night?" Jimin's smile fell from his face as he looked out the window at the buildings they passed by.

"He found me in the middle of the road last night. I-I had a horr-horrible night at the mansion." Jimin cleared his throat to keep himself from tearing up as he talked to his friend. Taehyung glanced at him and knew what he meant without Jimin saying any more. "Jimin, just leave and we can figure out how to handle the Council later when that problem arises."

Jimin tried to clear his throat again but it didn't seem to work because the bitter taste in his mouth and stinging in his eyes told him his tears were still going to fall. So they did. "I could-couldn't even block it-it out this time. He..." Jimin stopped himself before he revealed a secret about himself that he wasn't ready to work through.

Taehyung had reached his apartment building and was now parked, so he turned to look at his friend. "He what? What do you mean you couldn't block it out?" His eyes were glaring but with worry for his friend. Jimin just shook his head as he bent over, his head in his hands. Tae frowned and decided to leave it be, for now, but he still pulled Jimin into a small hug before they stepped out of the car.

When they got to Tae's door, it opened and Yoongi stood in a huge hoody and basketball shorts. Jimin was shocked to see him there but he smiled at his hyung, "Hyung! It's nice seeing you again." Yoongi's eyes looked up at Tae before they looked back at Jimin and he nodded with a slight smile, "Glad to see you too Jiminie." 

They walked in and everyone got comfortable. Jimin sat on the long end of the sectional couch with his legs stretched out while Yoongi and Tae sat on the other end. There was a small distance between them but Tae pulled Yoongi closer to him with a look in his eyes that only Yoongi could understand. Jimin smiled, "Hyung, I'm glad you decided to stay here. It's safer for you." 

Tae nodded in agreement, "I'm glad too. Believe me, it took some fight." Yoongi elbowed Tae then moved away from him as he faced Jimin. "Yeah. The more I thought about it, it made more sense to be here. Tae is going to help me get off the grid." Jimin's eyebrows rose in shock, "That's awesome. Hopefully it won't take too long. I know it took Tae years." 

Taehyung rolled his with a grin, "I know right but I've made friends with some important people, so everything should go a lot smoother. Plus, some people owe me a lot." The other two just nodded their heads slowly. Yoongi looked back at Jimin but with a hint of sympathy in his eyes and Jimin knew what was coming next.

"Tae told me you were with a possible hunter last night. Everything good?" Tae watched his friend closely, trying to see if he could see any lies in his body movement. "Everything is fine, hyung. He didn't notice anything. I know for sure, since he was trying to tease me before I left." Jimin felt his cheeks grow warm. Yoongi frowned, "Be careful with him Jimin because I still haven't found my friend Felix and I know he was dating someone that he thought may have been a hunter." 

Jimin nodded, "I'm very careful. I don't even breathe around him." Yoongi stood up to go into the bathroom, "good", was all he said before closing the door. Tae and Jimin sat in silence for a minute then Jimin's phone began to ring.

His heart began to pound in his chest when he saw his father's name. "Don't answer it. Matter of fact, give me your phone. You're not going back." Taehyung was standing in front of him with his hand out, waiting on Jimin to hand his phone to him. Jimin saw how serious Tae was looking at him and knew he wouldn't win that argument so he did as he was told. Taehyung turned the phone off and stuck in his back pocket. "Let's go to the casino tonight. Everything on me." Jimin smiled. 

"Why can't you guys go somewhere that I can go?" They both looked over at Tae's room door where Yoongi stood with his arms crossed and a deep frown on his lips. "Technically, you can't go anywhere right now. Don't worry we'll be back and I'll stay up with you the rest of the night. We can have our own party then." There was a dark glint in Tae's eyes after he spoke and Jimin smirked but Yoongi said nothing. However, he did look away from both of them before going back into Tae's room.

Jimin looked at Tae and the blonde just shrugged but smiled in the end.
