Hidden in the past

Be there for each other

"You don't deserve to live, you are tainted, you ruined my life!"
"Don't do this.....,I'm not responsible for your fears...."
"Jimin...., careful he's insane!"
"Kookie, go he's not after you leave please,"
"I'll never leave you,"
"Please Kookie....."
"Oh no he gets to watch you die!"
BANG!!!
"JIMIN!!!!!"
"Kookie, Kookie wake up it's ok!"
Jungkook sat up sweating, his heart thudding madly.
Jimin knelt beside him rubbing his back,
"It's ok, calm down Kookie"
"It's not ok, he nearly killed you!"
"But he didn't "
Jimin hugged Jungkook close, since the incident three weeks ago Jungkook had been having the nightmares.
He and Jimin had driven into the underground car park laughing together and joking as they got out walking towards the basement lift.
Suddenly they were apprehended by who they thought was a cleaner as he was dressed in the uniform but as he looked at them they saw it was Jimins commander.
"Look at you two so cosy, never mind you ruined my life, I knew you were trouble Park and I've come to put things right."
"Go away hasn't there been enough hate from you?" Jimin said bravely.
That's when Jungkooks dream had played out, he'd been so scared for Jimin when the angry male had pulled out a gun ready to kill him and all Jimin was worried about was saving him.
In slow motion they saw two security guards wrestle him to the ground as he pulled the trigger, luckily the shot hit a concrete post and not Jimin.
Police had been called and the commander taken away.
Because of the witnesses he'd been charged and jailed for attempted murder.
For some reason Jimin was calmer than Jungkook about it, when he saw how affected his boyfriend was  he'd hidden his own fear for when he was alone in the shower crying and shaking silently at the memory, but in front of Jungkook he acted strong and normal as if it hadn't been anything major.
Jungkook got up from the bed and slinging in shorts and a t shirt he went to go to the kitchen, Jimin made to follow him but was stopped by the other,
"No it's ok... I just....., go back to sleep ok?"
Jimin but his lip but nodded, not only was the nightmares becoming regular but Jungkook seemed to be pushing him away. They hadn't made live since it happened, Jimin wanted nothing more than to be close but Jungkook always had an excuse.
Jungkook got some cold water sitting to drink it in the silence.
He couldn't get over how he had been no help when they were confronted. Instead the usually timid Jimin faced the other and tried to make him safe?
Even now you wouldn't think Jimin had been confronted he just carried on as normal while he couldn't stop thinking of how he had nearly lost the love of his life. He was ashamed of himself and found himself holding back from jimin.
Instead of going back to their room he went to the sofa and fell asleep there unaware of Jimin coming and putting a blanket over him before going back to their room with tears running down his face.
Someone though had seen, Suga frowned as he watched Jimin go. Of course other members had noticed a difference between the two but didn't want to interfere, hoping they could sort it out, but Suga had heard Jimin crying when he thought he was alone and was getting worried.
Of course they had all been shocked at the turn of events and had become more protective of Jimin.
Grabbing some water he went back to his room.
Jungkook woke up cranky, his neck ached from sleeping awkwardly and he hadn't wanted to get up but he could hear the others in the kitchen.
"Oh here Kookie I've sliced some fruit for you and your banana milk is here," Jimin said with a smile despite the shadows under his tired eyes.
"I'm not a child don't act like my mother."
Jimin bit his lip looking down and mumbling sorry.
The others looked at each frowning at Jungkooks behaviour.
"Have we any orange juice?" Hobi asked.
"Oh sorry Hobi , I-I'll go and get some I drank the last bit," Jimin rushed to go glad to escape Jungkooks bad mood.
"He didn't have to do that," Hobi said.
"Oh he can do anything haven't you noticed," Jungkook said sarcastically .
Suga slammed his mug down.
"That's it ! What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Nothing"
"So why are you treating Jimin like shit?"
"I'm not..."
"You are different with him," RM said.
Jungkook looked up seeing everyone staring,
"I-I couldn't do anything...., I stood there doing nothing and Jimin...., he wanted me to go so I would be safe, he's normally scared yet he stood facing off to him and now acts like it was nothing and me .... What use was i?"
"But that's not how Jimin told me, he said you automatically stood in front of him that's when he spoke up he didn't want you hurt?"Tae said.
"He said that?" Jungkook asked.
"Mmm, he was out in the balcony crying and I asked what was up, he said you were having nightmares and he couldn't help you he said you were really brave standing in front of him so he tried to be brave too he didn't want you hurt."
"I can't remember standing in front of him, I hear the gun and panic that I can't save him, I thought I wasn't worthy of him."
"You two are so stupid, you sleep on the sofa and Jimin covers you in a blanket while he cries going back to your room, not for the first time either I've heard him before." Suga said.
"He has? But I thought...., he hasn't shown me this?"
"Because you've been distancing yourself arsehole!"
Jungkook suddenly jumped up and grabbed his keys as he ran out intent on finding Jimin.
He didn't care that he hadn't washed and his hair was sticking up he needed to find Jimin.
Taking the path through the grounds he suddenly saw a small figure under a tree it was Jimin talking to a kitten playing there, he quietly walked up.
"Can I be your friend kitty? I think I'm losing my best friend, he doesn't like me much now, I thought we would be forever, what's that you say, I'm stupid, your right who would want me forever when they could have anyone they wanted?"
"I would," Jungkook said startling Jimin who jumped up but looked down at the ground.
"I um was just coming back, I have the juice,"
He stepped forward to go but Jungkook stopped him, he tipped Jimins face up seeing the bushed tears," I'm sorry Jimin, I thought you didn't need me,"
"What?"
"I thought I froze and did nothing to help that's why I've had nightmares , I couldn't save you and I can't imagine life without you."
"But you tried you stood in front of me?"
"I couldn't remember that, just being so scared he'd get you and then you carrying on like nothing had happened it made me feel useless."
"Oh Kookie your not useless! When you started having nightmares I didn't want to worry you, so I cried in secret, I thought you were just fed up with me as you didn't want to be close."
"What a pair we are, if we had just talked this out these past weeks could have been so different," Jungkook said before hauling Jimin in for a kiss not caring if anyone saw them.
They walked arm in arm back to the dorm smiling.
Once inside Jungkook stated loudly," we are sorted so I advise you all to disappear for the day while Jimin and I make up properly and very noisily ," he smirked.
"Kookie!" Jimin said embarrassed
Jungkook picked him up and put him over his shoulder," we have a lot of missed opportunities to make up for," he said to Jimin, hearing Jins ," time to go boys," as the rest scrambled to their feet rushing to the door .
Jungkook and Jimin certainly made up for lost time as well as telling each other how much it meant being together, talking in between the loving moments finally secure in their need to be together.

Three months later.....
Jimin and Jungkook travelled to France along with family and band mates , under the pretence of a holiday they rented a chateau where a wedding ceremony was held.
The couple have taken the name Jeon as Jimin loves it when Kookie is in charge!

The End
