❛Let them heal each other.❜
Jungkook was exceptionaly sweet, with a heart gold, while Jimin was a timid soul, guarded and reserved, who rarely opened up to anyone.
❛Mute swans mate for life.❜
Jungkook alone held t...
Jungkook held Jimin's arms lightly from behind as they walked together in the serene street. Jimin looked back with a smile plastered on his face.
Seeing that precious smile on his lover's face, a sudden thought clicked his mind. It hadn't even been a month since Jimin had last visited the nearby aunt's shop, and in that little span of time itself, their life changed completely... And at this moment, Jimin surely needed a little motherly love to heal, right?
"Do you... want to visit aunt?" He asked, unsure of the smaller's reply.
Jimin's eyebrows knitted together, "Aunt? You mean... the aunty in the nearby shop?"
The taller's lips stretched out into a soft smile, "Yeah, the one that treats you like her own son."
In reply, he received a giggle from the smaller's side. "After all, her sons are around our age, so it's kinda obvious."
"So... what do you say?"
Jimin looked down, the memories flashing before his eyes as he still walked forward. "I think... I want to talk to her."
"I'm glad," Jungkook sighed in relief. He wasn't wrong.
They both gradually stumbled in front of the aunt's shop. Jimin's chest heaved up and down as he took deep breaths.... he was nervous.
"I-i..." He closed his eyes, unable to form a proper sentence.
"Love? What's wrong?" His worry filled voice helped the smaller to calm down a little. Jungkook moved in front of him, cupping his face.
"I'm scared... and guilty."
"Why, Jiminie? You've done nothing wrong to feel guilty, okay? Remember, absolutely nothing wrong. Try to just... let go of the past, little by little."
Jimin looked up to the latter with saddening eyes. "I love you," that was the only sentence he could think of at the moment, hugging.
Parting, they slowly made their way inside.
"Awie! Our Jimin is here! Welcome!" The lady, as always, greeted them with nothing but pure love. She walked towards them, instantly hugging the smaller. "How have you been?" She asked with her heart eyes, but a sudden realization hit her as she asked, gazing at Jungkook, "And... what about your baby?"
"Not okay, aunty... We both haven't been okay, and our child," he smiled a little, though the smile clearly didn't hold any happiness. He wanted to appear strong, "O-our child has made the way to heaven already."
The lady gasped. She couldn't utter a single word. It was a total shock.
Meanwhile, Jungkook stared at Jimin with awe. The smaller was so comfortable to share about it with her. He was proud... so proud, that Jimin was facing the truth already. His lover was the strongest afterall.
"B-baby... I... Could you let me talk to Jungkook for a while, please?" She asked in a soft voice while patting Jimin's back, trying not to hurt the smaller in any way.
Jimin simply nodded, making his way towards an empty seat, far from where the two were standing.
"What happened, son?" She asked the taller. Her eyes reflected sadness and pain. Jimin truly was like her own son.
With a sigh, Jungkook explained the whole situation to her. Though it was painful, it was definitely helpful to express himself to at least someone.
The lady was on the verge of tears as she listened to him. "I'm so sorry...Being a mother of two kids myself, I can't imagine how Jimin must've felt," she stopped, staring at Jimin, who was quietly sitting over their table, gazing outside. His face was devoid of any emotion, but they both knew... the boy was broken from inside.
"It was so hard for him... In fact, it's hard even now, but I feel like he's getting over it now. The way he talked to you... it felt as it he made progress."
The lady smiled, "Of course... Jimin has to open up to someone, right? Also, when he was younger... he would always come up to me and share about everything."
"I know, aunt... Jimin told me about it."
"That boy needs comfort, Jeon. Now, let me go talk to him for a bit, alright? He needs to share it himself," she patted the taller's back and trolled towards the table where Jimin was sitting.
Jungkook admired the two from there. He watched how Jimin was on the verge of tears while speaking, and that was progress considering that the latter had been keeping the pain within himself.
As he was so indulged in the thought of Jimin getting better, he jumped at his place by the sudden shock of his phone vibrating in his pocket.
"What the— Yoongi hyung?" His eyes widened seeing the caller's ID.
His heart thumped faster as he accepted the call. His hands were trembling. "H-hello?"
"Jungkook, we got the hold of them—"
"Stay there! We're coming!" He almost shouted, being excited at the fact that he could finally give the taste of hell to the ones who killed his child.
