Among The Stars - A BTS Fanfic

Chapter 19

It has been two full days since Tae and I announced we were in fact not dating and, for the first time since then, Jimin came to me.

"I'm sorry." He runs his fingers through his hair, looking somewhere far away. "I cannot explain the reasons to why I acted the way I did. I also don't want to make up an excuse. I'm sure you would understand my point if I could say it out loud but I can't. I hope either way you still find it in your heart to forgive me."

"Of course, Jimin." I lean forward grabbing his hands on mine. "Don't worry about it, I'm sure you have your reasons and Tae explained to me some. That's actually why we decided not to continue with the mission."

"Oh, thank God." Jimin smiles. " I thought it would be harder than this."

"Why?" I ask slightly perplexed. "Did I ever give you the idea of being unapproachable or difficult?"

"No, not at all." He takes a sip of his drink before continuing. "It's more to do with my personality than yours, you see because I know I am not very forgiving, it's only natural that I think others are the same."

"Is that why you took so long to come to me?" I chuckle.

"Partially." He leans forward indicating I should do the same and whispers. "I also needed to find the words to warn you, I was actually going to take more time but unfortunately time has run out."
"About what?" I whisper back. Not that there was any need to whisper, it is just a natural response I have. If someone whispers to me, I naturally whisper back.

"We think we found another secret." I look at him with a raised eyebrow.

"And why do I need to be warned?" I mean my secret is no longer a secret so I don't understand what it has to do with me.

"We figured all secrets are related somehow." Wait, what? Oh, that's crazy. "This is inside knowledge that I should not be giving away, however, I think you need to be prepared. Somewhere, somehow, there is this at least one secret that is related to you, and maybe, you don't want it out."

I ponder on his words for a bit, trying to brainstorm how that would be possible. Who could have a secret that affects me, being directly or otherwise? Could it be something that I do not want to be revealed? Or maybe is something that even though might be related to me, doesn't really affect me at all?

"Thank you for the warning Jimin," I say truthfully. "However, there is nothing I can think about that might affect me. My only secret is out, I feel free and I don't think there is any reason to worry." I try to reassure him with a smile.

"If you say so," Jimin replies while getting up from the sofa. "I need to talk with Tae now actually but I enjoyed our talk. Did Kookie come to you yet?"

"No." I try to avoid showing any disappointment as I say this.

"Don't worry, he will." He smiles while he walks away. "He just needs to put his shit together.

I sigh and go back to the book I was reading before Jimin came to me. What shit? What could he possibly need to put together? For real what the fuck is his issue. I don't know why this aggravates me as much as it does. It shouldn't really, he his my bias yes true, but we were never close, to begin with, not nearly as much as I am with Jimin nor even as much as me and Tae.

I slightly jump on my seat as I feel the sofa dip. I was so lost in my thoughts I had missed someone approaching.

"Sorry." Rm gives an apologetic smile. "I didn't mean to startle you."

"It's all right, how have you been?" I put my book down yet again, it seems like today will not be the day I finish it.

"I'm fine, but how about you?" RM, that has always had a bit of an imposing posture, today seems slightly off, maybe more open than usual, I feel nothing good is about to come of this conversation.
