[COMPLETED] FORBIDDEN LOVE (JIKOOK)

TWELVE;

"Are you going to talk or not?" Jungkook asks and scoffs when he feels Jimin shakes his head against his chest. "But why? Mind to tell me why?"

"Because I don't want to. That's my why..."

"Do you need time? Do you want me to give you some space and we'll talk about this later when you're ready?" Jungkook asks patiently. "Then, what do you want me to do? I can't leave you upset without knowing the whole story from you like this," Jungkook continues when Jimin keeps shaking his head.

"I'll be fine..."

"Yes, baby. I know you'll be fine. Despite that, I want to know how you feel. What is actually in your mind so that I can understand you better in the future. Let me in into your little world, my dear. Let me be part of your journey and walk along the way with you. Together,"

"..."

"Maybe I'm too pushy for you who is not used to opening up when you're hurt but trust me. It will be fine...with me. As long as you're with me, I promise there's nothing you can do wrong. Unless it's something that's against the rules and law. That...I can't help it,"

"Why are you being so nice to me... you should've gotten mad and annoyed by now...that sounds more normal way to react,"

"It's not normal...at least for me. I don't think it's normal to get mad or annoyed over this because it's actually disrespectful to get mad at someone after you force them to open up," Jungkook's tone is still as soft as before. "That's why, I hope you can change that mindset one day. It doesn't apply when you're with me so you don't have to worry,"

"You surely know how to make people feel bad..." Jimin slowly leans back but still avoids eye contact. "In a good way, I mean..."

"I'm just trying to tell you that it's okay to tell me anything you want. Communicate with me how are you feeling. If you need time or space, just tell me. But to avoid this forever, I'm sorry to say that I can't allow you to keep that behaviour. If you want to keep us for the longest time, communication is essential. Believe me, it helps in solving most things in a relationship,"

"I don't want to talk about it because I feel like there's no point in talking about it. It's just me. No matter how long we talk about it or try to solve it, nothing will happen or change if I don't want to change myself,"

"Right. You're a smart one, of course, you know that much," Jungkook gently taps Jimin's arm. "Then, can I ask you something?" Jungkook asks, trying a different approach to make Jimin talk without being so obvious.

"Look at me. Are you upset with me?" Jungkook puts his finger under Jimin's chin and lifts his face up to connect their gazes.

"I was..."

"Was?"

"Eung... was... I should've barged into your office and thrown myself into your arms earlier...now that I'm in your arms, everything negative has washed away..."

"You like being in my arms that much?" Jungkook slightly smiles. "Then why don't you come to my office? I was waiting for you to finish your class but when I met hobi, he said you went home already,"

"Because I was too mad at that time and I don't want to see your face at any cost,"

"Why? You were mad because I called you Jimin yesterday? In my office?" Jungkook asks and cracks into a big smile when Jimin's face instantly turns sullen. "I'm sorry, baby. You know I was disciplining you at that time. I said that as your lecturer, not your boyfriend. The formal setting, remember?"

"...but we were alone at that time... No one was there... But you still..."

"I'm sorry, hrmm? After this, I'll make sure to not call you that when we're alone," Jungkook says and takes Jimin's cheeks in his hand. "But you have to listen to me too. If I tell you to behave well, then you have to behave well. If you keep challenging and going against me, I have no choice other than to be stern with you. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
