Prince in disguise ~ Jikook

[06] Gift

Jimin passed by an vendor that had keychains and where decorated beautifully therefore Jimin decided to buy some. He thought about Taehyung and what he liked and asked the lady the prices. Though they where expensive, Jimin didn't see it as expensive, knowing that he's getting paid every week, he didn't worry but he needed to spend wisely. But this was an gift so he chose to get himself one and Taehyung one, he paid the lady and remembered, he wanted to get Jungkook and Namjoon one. So he went ahead and got two more chains, the lady thanked Jimin bowing to him and Jimin politely smiled bowing back to her.

He continued to explore the place that was crowded with people, passing by many things Jimin thought about his childhood, looking back he didn't have the one he was imagining but he did get almost everything he wanted. Though it wasn't going to change how he wanted his childhood to be, sometimes he wanted to go out and explore places instead of staying in. He wanted to go to public schools and make more friends, have time for himself and watch the sunset, but it never happened. The things he wanted to do was limited or couldn't happen, he also felt bad for Tae because he didn't have as childhood as well.

It overwhelmed him a lot when he was younger and he tried to hide his tears from it, but that's what happens when you have strict rules and parents. It's also why Jimin changed to respect them at all purposes, he was afraid that if he didn't he'd get yelled at or grounded on for weeks, but he still loves them, he just wished they were more open and would allow him to go and do what he wanted to do.

Now that everything was coming to him he felt his eyes become glossy and his heart palpitate, he left the festival in a hurry so he wouldn't sob in front of everyone. Every step Jimin took, took him further back to the past of when he first cried when he was a child. Jimin breathed heavily as he clinched on the key chains gazing at it as tears streamed down his face gracefully.

Taehyung look up at the ceiling with a bored expression. He heard a knock on the door which made him turn his head tiredly. "Taehyung?" The maid peeked through the door. "You've been sitting in the same spot for a couple of days now.. and your parents are worrying.." the maid held on the door. "Well if they were so worried they would've checked up on me themselves." Taehyung said boredly looking at the maid. She looked in fear as she gulped at the male who didn't mean to put it towards her so he sighed and sat up. "May you bring them here?" Tae asked in a better tone. The maid nodded quickly before exiting closing the door.

Taehyung looked away from the door and hugged his knees over the silk pajamas he had on. He looked at his legs with hooded eyes until his mother and father came in. "Taehyung?" His mother called out, he then lifted his head up to look at his parents who looked at him with fret. "I'm okay eomma and appa. I just wanted time alone for a couple of days." Taehyung ranted as soon as his mother called his name.

"Do you want to go out?" His mothered asked, Taehyung looked up to his parents with doe eyes now interested. "Where?" He asked a bit excited now that he might get to go out. "Anywhere your heart desires." His mother said smiling. "Then I wanna see Jimin." Taehyung almost said in an demanding way. His parents looked at him uneasily "not now, your too young." She said, before she could get up taehyung grabbed her wrist. "Why?" He looked up at his mother with furrowed brows, he felt disappointed.

"Taehyung, he needs time and you have to respect that." She tried reasoning with him but taehyung's was upset. "But he misses me too! Why can't I see him?!" Taehyung shouted a bit loosing his hold from his mothers grip. "I don't require you to yell at your mother. So lower down your tone young man." Taehyung looked at his father with glossy eyes as he tried to fight back tears.

The cadet huffed and turned away from his parents covering himself with the blanket on his bed. "Leave me alone." Taehyung mumbled under the blanket trying his hardest not stutter from heartbreak. He waited for his door to sound close as he looked out in  the darkness of his blanket. Once he did he lifted his head from the material that warmed his skin every night to see the light outdoors, he grabbed his phone and contacted Jimin.

Jimin was calmed down and he was heading to Namjoon's place after he took time for himself at his place. He breathed heavily and exhaled deeply as he drove on the smooth road, outside that showed small shops and sidewalks, along side with small trees. The place seemed open and there where many different vehicle and people walking around.

Once he arrived he held the bag of keychains firmly and knocked on the door. Jimin waited patiently until the door opened and he was greeted by Namjoon, "Jimin! How are you?" A smile plastered on the brunettes face before he responded.

"I'm good actually, what about you?" Jimin was let inside and as they both walked to the couch to where Jungkook was seen on his phone snacking on chips. "Good as well." Namjoon smiled sitting on the single person chair that rocked a bit. Jimin sat the bag next to him before clearing his throat. "I got you both something." Jimin pulled out two chains that he picked out for the both of them.

"Ah Jimin you didn't have to." Namjoon said taking the keychain that looked like an koala. Jungkook peeked now moving his attention to Jimin who he didn't notice until now, he gasped which turned Namjoon's and Jimin's attention to him. "Aish, I'm so sorry I didn't see you come in!" Jungkook stood up and bowed gaining a smile from the brunette. "No worries Jungkook." Jimin stood and walked up to Jungkook and sat next to him.

Jungkook watched the brunette with doe eyes scooting a bit to make room for him, noticing how close they were Jungkook blushed as he blinked several times. "Here." Jimin handed Jungkook a keychain of an bunny. Jungkook glanced at the keychain than at Jimin. "Thank you.." Jungkook said in an soothe tone. "But how much did it cost?"

Jimin was amused by Jungkook's question chuckling just a bit. "Don't worry about the cost, it was an gift." Jimin cooed. "Oh, we'll thank you. Again." Jungkook smiled a little, now feeling his heart race and cheek heat up more. "Your welcome." Jimin glanced into the males eyes that shined beautifully before he stood breaking the gaze so he wouldn't make it awkward.

"I should get going now. I need to do something before I rest. Thank you for having me here." Jimin bowed quickly but made it polite before taking his exit.

Jungkook waved a bit and then turned to Namjoon who had a smirk on his face.
