Prince in disguise ~ Jikook

[09] Light sobs

Jimin was nibbling on his nail desperately waiting for a response back from his brother. Nothing was working and it was stressing him out. He didn't want to call Tae because he'd rather wait until Tae called him, just to hear his happy voice, but he was losing hope onto waiting for a callback from his brother. Jimin usually never bit his nails unless he was extremely stressed, but he wasn't, he was nervous, a bit too nervous. Jimin grimaced himself for biting his nail, knowing he'd ruin his nail and grabbed his phone to attempt and call Tae.

He inhaled deeply and exhaled deeply before he heard his phone ring and an familiar name pop up. The name he was dying to hear a response from. Taehyung.

Jimin answered in a flash as a big grin grew on his face. "Hyung!" Taehyung exclaimed in excitement.

"TaeTae, I missed you so much! Did you get the gift?!" Jimin was beyond excited, and more happy to hear Tae's voice again.

"Oh Hyung I love it! Thank you so much!" Taehyung said happily, he's waited so long to hear Jimin's voice as well. "I'm glad, but how are you? You haven't called since." Jimin asked.

"I'm good Jiminie, I couldn't call.. eomma and appa, we got busy. I'm not certain that we will talk in a while though.." The younger cadet sounded disappointed. Jimin's brows now furrowed, slightly upset that he won't be talking with Tae after this call, but he knew that he had to respect it, they where going to be busy. Jimin sighed "alright, I understand." That was when Tae immediately felt bad, hearing Jimin's voice change in a sorrowful tone made him feel angry at himself for lying to him. He had no choice though.

"saranghae Hyung." Taehyung clinched onto the silk on his pants. A small smile appeared on Jimin's lips "I love you too TaeTae, don't be sad for me okay? I'm still here." Jimin assured to his brother on the other side of the phone. "I won't, be safe Jiminie." He said after exhaling a deep sigh.

"Same goes for you."

Jungkook watched Namjoon pack as thoughts roamed in his head, the things he didn't want to think of came in the wrong moment. What if Namjoon Hyung got hurt? Or he doesn't make it back? Namjoon has always been here for me, what if something happens to me and Namjoon won't be here to get me like last time when he was able to? Those thought always roamed in his head at the convenient times.

As Namjoon packed he glanced to see a worried big-eyed Jungkook staring at him, Namjoon found it cute and smiled to the point it showed his dimples until the brown haired started to tear up. "Ah Jungkook." Namjoon walked up to Jungkook who was sniffing and crouched down to look at him. "Why are you  crying? What where you thinking about?" Namjoon asked looking at the boy who's tears ran down his cheeks hastily. "Mm.." Jungkook mumbled looking away from Namjoon as he tried wiping his red nose. "W-what if something happens to you? O-Or you don't make it back?" Jungkook ranted a bit, stammering while he was at it.

"Don't let those thoughts get into your head kook, I know that nothing will happen to me, the place is high on security. I promise you nothing will happen to me." Namjoon assured briefly to Jungkook who was still wiping tears. "You know what? How about I call Jimin? I'm sure he'll cheer you up while I'm gone." Namjoon pulled out his phone but then saw the Jungkook quickly placed his hand on it. "Your going to e-embarrass me.." Jungkook said with a red nose and puffy eyes. "But he would make you feel better wouldn't he?" Namjoon raised a brow.

"You know you always get like this, and now that someone will be here to cheer you up it'll be easier not to be upset of things like me not making it back. Haven't I always made it back to you? Yes I have and I will continue to."
Namjoon said confidently, he was right. He had no one to comfort him when he was sad because Namjoon left, it would be nice to have some.

"You have nothing to worry about okay? I'm going to call Jimin now." Namjoon stood after crouching for a long time and Jungkook hesitantly let go of his phone with a gulp. He watched an Namjoon zipped up his bag and hit the call button on Jimin's name.

He blinked with wide observant eyes as he listened to Namjoon chat with Jimin. Before then he was okay but now his heart began to palpitate with every second.

"I have to leave now before I'm late, Jimin will be here in a few mintues." Namjoon told the brown haired who was getting up from his sitting position. Namjoon smiled looking at the shorter male before patting his head and ruffling it. "Gosh your cute when you get like this, it makes me miss you more." Namjoon said causing Jungkook to blush a bit. "Now I really have to get going. I will see you later Jungkook." Namjoon turned off his phone after checking the time and hurried out of the door.

"Bye Joonie.." Jungkook mumbled before hearing the door shut. Jungkook stood in his place frozen like a mannequin for the past mintues until he heard another knock, breaking him out of his trance. He ran to get the door and opened it to see the handsome shorter male who was waiting for Jungkook to open the door.

"Ah, morning Jungkook. Namjoon said you needed comfort so I'm glad to help in any way." Jimin spoke respectfully to the taller before taking off his shoes next to the door to show Jimin in white socks. Jungkook watched the smaller with big eyes. Jimin then finally looked up to observe Jungkook's face more until his eyes caught the others eyes that where puffy and pink, so as his nose.

"Jungkook, are you okay?" Jimin cooed furrowing his eyebrows worriedly. And once he was asked if he was okay, Jungkook's eyes became glossy and tears started falling again as his shoulders went upwards and he squinted his eyes, making more tears fall. He hung his head low whimpering.

Jimin immediately felt sorrow for the brown haired and began to place his hands on Jungkook's hot cheeks to wipe the threatening tears that fell from his eyes.

"Jungkook.." Jimin spoke softly to the boy "N-Namjoon.. had to leave for s-some time.. I'm just scared.." Jungkook confessed with an shaky voice. "Tell me what your scared of?" Jimin asked keeping his hands that warmed Jungkook's cheeks more in place. "Losing h-him." Jungkook stuttered as he began to whine more closing his eyes and hiding his face more.

"Awh, Jungkook.." Jimin cooed before hugging the boy that was a bit taller than him into a warm embrace. Jungkook sobbed as Jimin tried to shush him in a nice manner. Jimin brung his hand up to Jungkook's hair to caress it softly, trying to calm the sobbing boy.
