AGAINST THE WORLD //JIKOOK FF

CHAPTER 9

The following day after Jungkook's Vlive, he and Jimin were trending on twitter. There were alot of hate filled comments to Jungkook, BTS and Jimin but like Jimin said, the positive comments were more. So far, army's and pjms were fighting off anyone who was sending hate to Jungkook and Jimin.

Jungkook had woken up from a phone call from Bang PD congratulating him and assuring him that he would deal with the fallout. His hyungs had called him too then his parents who seemed happy and literally demanded to meet Jimin.

On the other hand, Jimin's parents kept gushing over Jungkook, turned out they were fans of BTS. They promised to visit before Jungkook returned to Seoul.

Jungkook was happy talking to Jimin's parents. He had all the support he needed in the world and he was grateful. Yoongi and Taehyung hugged him so tightly when he joined them in the kitchen. They told him they were proud of him.

“Jiminie you gained almost a million followers on twitter by this morning.” Tae said scrolling on his phone.
“That's all Jungkookie's. What are they saying?”
“That you make a really cute couple. They also want a selca.”
“Sure. How about we take Yoongi hyung and Kookie around town. We have a shoot in the evening.”
“I like that idea.” Yoongi said drinking his coffee. The guys got ready to head out.

Jungkook was excited to be out for the first time holding onto Jimin's hand. Jimin and Tae took them to the Statue of Liberty, Rockefeller Centre and they had lunch near Central Park. They took alot of pictures and posted some on Jimin's and Taehyung's twitter pages. They had a wonderful day.
Jimin drove them back to their apartment. Jimin had a quick shower and changed for work.

“I'll be back in probably three hours.” Jimin told Jungkook kissing his forehead.
“Alright, I'm just going to watch a movie with hyung. Take care, I love you.”
“I love you too Kookie.” Jimin and Taehyung left the apartment. Jungkook sat on the couch surfing on the TV trying to find something to watch.

“Kook,” Yoongi called out coming downstairs, “can we talk?”
“Ofcourse hyung.” Jungkook muted the TV and turned to his hyung.
“Listen, I know we coddle you too much but this is something the others and I have decided to step back and let you see for yourself.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Jimin is receiving more hate from our fans than what Tae showed you. Why do you think he refused to let you post on our twitter page or on your instagram?”
Jungkook thought about it for a second, “did I really force things on him?”

“Jimin has been out for years Kook, you didn't force anything. He has never publicly dated anyone and he agreed to do that with you. That must mean something to him. All we want you to do is be open to him and know when to support him when it all gets too much for him.”

“I understand hyung. I just... He seemed so happy today.” Jungkook pouted.
“He's happy. Tae told me after his last breakup, Jimin seems more free and happy around you.”
“He never tells me about his past relationships.”
“You get jealous easily, pretty sure you'd be mad if you knew about them.”
“That bad?” Yoongi shrugged.
“Tae doesn't have a filter with me.”
“Okay. I'm going to go through twitter and see what toxic people are saying about the love of my life.” Jungkook sassed.
“Just remember they can't hurt him or even get to him.”

Jungkook took his phone and headed upstairs to Jimin's room. He sat on the bed and opened twitter. He hadn't been on his phone the whole day other than taking selcas with Jimin.
Jungkook is gay and Jungkook and Jimin are dating were trending. He scrolled through the trends and saw one about Jimin. Jimin using JK for clout was number 7 and had over a million tweets.

“What the hell?” He scoffed as he went through the tweets. Jimin was just as famous as him. Most of them were just trashing Jimin's name, insulting his work. People were mean and toxic. He saw one had posted a picture of Jimin with black hair smiling with another guy's hand on his waist. He felt anger bubbling in his stomach. The guy's name was Jeffrey and he was a model and an actor also. The most claimed that Jimin used the guy and left him which Jungkook found hard to believe. He exited twitter and decided to play some games.

****
Jimin and Tae were already dressed for their shoot. They were advertising Louis Vuitton men's fall and winter wear. Just as Jimin was about to walk to the setup where the pictures would be taken, he spotted Jeffrey who entered the studio looking high and mighty. Jimin froze and moved closer to Tae. Jeffrey looked at Jimin and smirked making Jimin tremble.

Bin stood infront of him obscuring his view, “I'm sorry Jimin. I had no idea LV hired him for this concept.”
“Hyungie,” Jimin whispered terrified of the outcome of the whole thing, “I don't want to do this.”
“Jiminie I'm sorry. Just stand there don't even talk to him and Tae and I will be here when you are done.”
“Why can't I do it with Tae?”
“I'm sorry.” Bin said looking remorseful.
“Taetae, I don't want to do this.”
“Jimin you have to, the sooner you do this, the sooner you get back to Jungkookie okay. Bin hyung and I will watch you and if he does something I'll punch him.” Jimin nodded at approached the set standing a few centimetres from Jeffrey.

“Hi sweetheart.” Jeffrey said which Jimin just ignored.
“Ready guys? On three.” the photographer said and soon the flashes began. Jeffrey tried to talk to him again but Jimin never replied. Once they were done, they got out of set but Jeffrey gripped Jimin's arm.
“Saw you got yourself a boyfriend? I told you you'll never have anyone of it ain't me.” Jimin shivered from the sinister voice.

“Let him go.” Taehyung said in a deep voice pushing Jeffrey away.
“Stay away from him, I already warned you before.” Bin said angrily. Jeffrey just laughed mocking them before he raised his hands and walked away. “Tae you're up, I'll stay with Jiminie.”

Bin led Jimin to the makeup seats and sat him there, “You okay Minnie?”
“Want to go home.” Jimin said in a small voice.
“In a while. You can have tomorrow off I'll reschedule your shoots.” Jimin nodded. Jimin was lost in thought all through Tae's shoot till they went home. His mind kept spacing out and just nodded when Tae spoke to him.

When they entered the apartment, Jimin headed straight to his bedroom. He heard Tae tell Jungkook to follow him. Jimin removed his shoes and got in bed. His back was to the door but he heard Jungkook moving around the room. He finally felt Jungkook get in bed and pull him closer.

“I'm here baby.”
“I know,” Jimin whispered as he entwined their fingers. “Thank you.”
Jimin felt Jungkook's lips on his neck which made him shiver. This is exactly what he needed. He moved even closer to Jungkook. He would never let Jeffrey take Kook away. He was finally happy.

Later that night, after Jungkook fell asleep, Jimin got out of bed quietly and went out of the room. He went to the kitchen, poured some water in a glass and sat on the couch in the living room. He stared on the black screen of the tv.

“Couldn't sleep?” A voice suddenly asked making Jimin flinch. Tae sat next to him and slung his arm on his shoulders. “Hey.”
“Why do I always feel like I'm missing something Taetae? I don't understand why I'm so scared of him whenever I see him. I know he did something to me that night but I can't remember.” Jimin shivered.

“Minnie I wish I can tell you nothing happened but I wasn't there. I hate when this torments you.”
“He told me he'd never let anyone have me Tae. I'm happy with Kookie, why won't he leave me alone.” Jimin cried. Tae pulled him in his arms.
“I'll always be here for you Chim. Whatever that thing you don't remember is, I'll always be here.”
They both slept on the couch after an emotional talk and that's how their boyfriend's found them the following morning.
