He twisted the handle of the door to click it open as noiseless as possible. But he hissed loudly when door made an unnecessary sound and  to make the situation have a cherry on the top, Jimin was a very light sleeper.

"T-taehyung, where are you going dressed up l-like that?"

Taehyung heard Jimin say, who just woke up and was rubbing his eyes softly with his palms, looking confused as ever.

"Where are y-you going?" The elder repeated again and the other male just sighed in response.

Taehyung moved towards Jimin silently and climbed over the bed , due to which Jimin was a little startled  and unconsciously moved back as a self defence mechanism.

The taller kept chasing the other male until Jimin was finally trapped under him. He leaned down near Jimin and reached out his hand  and the smaller had his eyes blown away with shock.

Turning on the nearby lamp, Taehyung took Jimin's both hands in his own and the elder winced when the younger touched the particular one.

'There's no way that he knows about it.'

Jimin mentally prayed as he tried to act less suspicious with his reactions. He couldn't afford Taehyung to see the scar at any cost.

"I'm seriously disappointed." Taehyung muttered as slowly scrolled the sleeves up from the scratch.

At that moment, Jimin knew that his luck was fucked up because everything was going downhills. What's the benefit of hiding it when Taehyung came to know the truth anyway?! He didn't want the younger to feel upset, guilty or any other kind of negative emotional.

" W-with me?" He mustered up some courage before nervously pointing towards himself and asking.

Taehyung was a bit taken away by this question as he huffed out some air before replying to the elder.

"With my fans actually. I thought they were no more kids and actually literate but guess what they're still the same immature rascals who feel like they own me for themselves or something."

He replied and slowly removed the bandage to check the wound beneath it. A wince leaving his mouth when he saw it and fastly grabbed some ointment to apply on it.

"It's okay. Maybe they were just jealous an—"

Taehyung interrupted the elder by pushing his palm over Jimin's plushy pink lips and covered it, the soft lips crashing with his palm as Jimin looked at him with round big eyes.

The taller leaned closer and Jimin felt his breath getting stuck as his heart drummed vigorously inside his rib cage.

Taehyung looked at Jimin's eyes before his eyes lingered over where his palm was squishing Jimin's lips and he spoke "Shut up else I'll kiss you to make you shut up. You don't need to defend those shitty people at all. If anything, you should file a case against her."

Jimin wasn't affected with Taehyung's threat at all because he didn't hear it at all. He was struck at the first sentence the younger said and he couldn't hear anything after that.

"Now let me do your bandage property with medicine and cleaning not just for hiding it."

Taehyung said and Jimin nodded while pouting as he muttered a quick 'sorry' for hiding it from the younger.

Jimin saw how Taehyung was fully concentrated on treating Jimin's hand. He eyes were focused, tongue peaking out a little as he continued treating the wound.

A wave of unknown happiness washed over Jimin as he couldn't afford to even blink his eyes as he didn't want to miss a single reaction of the younger.

A hiss left Jimin's mouth as Taehyung dabbed a little with his thumb on the wound after treating it and then looked at the elder.
