General Jeon (Jikook)

chapter eight

"He's never been the best with manners."

-Therapy Session-

Taehyung's jolted awake in the middle of the night by loud screaming, the sound making him frantically search around in pitch black darkness for the light twitch next to the bed.

When the room lights up he sees Jimin thrashing on the bed, loud sobs leaving his lips as the blondes eyes shoot open and look around the room in terror.

"It's a dream Jimin." Taehyung says as he jumps back onto the bed, grabbing the blondes face in his hands when the boy only continues crying out.

"T-They were dead, a-and you were d-dead." He says between sobs putting his knees to his chest when Taehyung let's go of him.

"E-Everyone was d-dead." He finishes, hiccups leaving his mouth when he attempts to catch his breath.

"Remember the breathing we practiced Jimin." Taehyung says calmly, filling his chest in emphasis when Jimin looks at him and does the same. The blonde struggles go slow down his breathing, but still tries his best as Taehyung holds him and mirrors the boy.

"It wasn't real Jimin. It's never real." Taehyung comforts, frowning when red eyes connect with his.

"It was though Tae, they did die." Jimin corrects, tears continuing to stream down his flushed cheeks when Taehyung only pulls him into another hug.

Jimin didn't have the nightmare's as much as he usually did, but they still took place at least a couple times a week. Whether it was about him dying, or his parents, or Taehyung, it was always about the same thing none the less.

That night..

And all Taehyung could do most of the time was hold him, hold him until he fell back asleep and pretended like it never happened. The elder knew he couldn't bring back Jimin's parents, but he could still hold him as the blonde remembered them in times like these.

Both there heads snap to the door when it immediately opens, Jimin jumping slightly when non other than General Jeon pokes his head in.

"One of the trainees said they heard screamin-

The man cuts himself off as he takes the in boy's
disheveled state, eyebrows furrowing when he sees Jimin's puffy eyes and flushed cheeks, and Taehyung sitting on his bed with worried eyes.

"What's going on?" The man mumbles, blinking the sleep from his eyes as he runs a hand through his messy hair. Jungkooks glasses were slanted on his face, looking as if they were practically thrown on before he got down here.

"Nightmare." Taehyung says, cutting the answer short as he turns his attention back to the now calm blonde.

Jungkook only stares at them when Jimin quietly hiccups once more, an embarrassed blush filling his cheeks at the ravens gaze.

"I-I'm sorry if I woke you up." Jimin says after a moment, looking down at his legs when Jungkook says nothing in response.

"Meet me in the cafeteria at 7AM Mr. Park." The raven suddenly says, glancing once more between the boys as Jimin's eyes go wide.

"Alone." The man finishes, closing the door before either of the boys can protest.

They had ran yesterday so Jimin knew the boys didn't have training, but he couldn't help but wonder why Jungkook wanted to meet with him anyway.

Was he in trouble?

Jimin couldn't help but bite his lip at the thought, tears long gone as him and Taehyung look at each other with the same expression.
