Caught in Red

Stuck

It was a couple of days later. Jimin's leg felt better and they were thinking of leaving in two days. Jungkook has been telling Namjoon loads, practically everything he got out of Jimin in the time they spent together. The blonde haired was a little spectacle but jk could tell him a good enough excuse for him to believe that there was nothing wrong.

These days consisted of Jungkook following around Jimin wherever he went on the property. It was a cycle of question and answer at this point.

Today, the two were just sitting in the living room again. They were casually eating while listening to faint music.

"Kook.."

"Mhm.."

"Can I ask you something.."

Jungkook looked at the shorter, he seemed fidgety. "What's up?"

Jimin sat up straight, crossing his legs neatly and folding his hands so he wouldn't pick at his fingers. "Why do you keep being in the mafia? It's a horrible thing. Why don't you just go back to your parents?"

Jungkook grew doe eyed, he would have never thought Jimin would ask this. "Um...because I can't."

Jimin looked at the ravenette with questionable eyes. "Why?"

"My mother doesn't know that I'm not in college anymore. I mean she sends me an allowance every month but I'm sure she could care less what I'm doing. The money isn't even enough for food, I used it to pay for my apartment mostly. That's why I joined the mafia."

Jimin nodded and directed his eyes to the vase on the coffee table, "For the money. I gotcha.."

Jk began to throw himself into a frenzy. '"Don't get it twisted!! I 'm not like everyone else and spend it on stupid things!!"

Jimin smiled lightly, "I know kook, you're smart enough. You're a good kid."

The ravenette felt a slight pain in his chest. Why did Jimin's smile hurt, why did the words he say hurt so much? Jungkook looked down and licked his lips. He was feeling bad.

Bad about reporting to namjoon. Bad how Jimin was treated by his father. All Jungkook wanted to do was save Jimin; get him out of this hell bound game of life or death.

"Jungkook? Are you okay?"

Jimins sweet tone laced through Jungkook's ears, he quickly looked up and smiled. "Of course. I'm going to run to the bathroom quickly."

Jimin nodded as the ravenette rushed to the bathroom. He needed a breather.

-why do I feel like this? Do I like Jimin?...no,no, I can't let my emotions get the best of me. My mission is almost over. We can do this.-

The younger splashed some water onto his face; taking a deep breath and then heading back to the living room. Everything was cleaned up now and Jimin smiled oh so brightly.

-The twelfth smile I've received-

"Kook! Let's watch a movie ya!"

Jungkook couldn't help but smile. The ravenette stole the spot form beside Jimin and they began to watch the movie.

Sometime into the movie Jimin had fallen asleep. He looked so small wrapped in his blue blanket he shared with Jk. Jimin rested on Jungkook's shoulder, he doesn't even remember when he got there. The movie finally finished and the younger trailed his doe eyes to Jimin.

Maybe Jungkook was developing feelings for him. The way his blonde haired fit him so well. The way Jimin smiled and his eyes became half crescents and you could see all his pretty white teeth. Jimin was a firecracker at first but he's just so sweet and Jungkook loved that. Don't get Jk started on his assassin skills. He looked so elegant doing it and he was quite smart during it all. Maybe the elegance was from the years he took ballet, Jimin was definitely light on his feet.
