Unlikely Hearts JIKOOK FF

CHAPTER XLVI

AUTHOR'S POV

The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow on the serene scene unfolding in the room. Jungkook, nestled beside Jimin, couldn't bring himself to close his eyes as he watched his beloved sleep soundly. There was damped towel on Jimin's forehead because he was burning hot last night. His small hands clutching the yellow chick plushie that he always hugged making Jungkook smiled at the adorable sight as his fingers traced tender patterns along Jimin's cheek, feeling the warmth of his skin beneath his touch.

As he caressed Jimin's face, a myriad of emotions danced in Jungkook's mind, each thought like a delicate brushstroke on the canvas of his consciousness. The room was filled with a quiet tranquility that belied the storm of emotions within him.

Jungkook's thoughts inevitably drifted to the events of the previous night, about Taehyung and Yoongi. The memory of Yoongi's words lingered, casting a shadow over the otherwise peaceful morning. The weight of their conversation hung heavily in the air, creating a tension that now coexisted with the tenderness of the moment.

*FLASHBACK*

" Ughh.... I thought I was gonna die earlier," Yoongi muttered while groaning with bandages on his face and blackened eye.

As Jungkook watched him intently with his hands crossed on his chest waiting for his hyung's explanation. Yoongi rolled his eyes seeing Jungkook's eyes digging daggers at him.

"Explain."

"Chill Jungkook-ah," he sighed "Minji was behind to all of this." Yoongi finally revealed

"She misinterprets me for liking Jimin that's why she asked me to do that for Jimin and she also wants me to kill him, hah. Does she really think I would commit that kind of unforgivable sin?" Yoongi asked him bewildered as he continues, "A thought came to me, so I baited her and agreed. Last night she texted me the address where Jimin works and told me to do it after his work. I know she was watching me because there was a car following me and I know it was her. So, when I spotted Jimin, I dragged him to where she can visibly see him, to make her believed I was actually doing what she told,"

"And you touched him," Jungkook cut him off with a scowl on his face as bitterness laced in his voice.

Yoongi looked at him unintimidated, "That was part of the plan to keep her from believing. I swear to God I didn't mean to touched Jimin," Yoongi explained as he recalls Jimin's pitiful pleas and sobs, honestly feeling bad.

"And this is the only way I could help you," Yoongi confessed making Jungkook furrow his brows.

"What do you mean 'help' hyung! You know it would make me mad at you for doing this to my boyfriend, yet you still agreed to--

"Calm down will you!" Yoongi shut him, "This will help as evidence to what kind of a psychotic woman your father was trying to marry you with! If you tell your father about this, maybe he will come to his senses and finally calls the arrangement off!" Yoongi explained as he looked at the younger in the eye.

"And I apologize for touching your boyfriend and for you too, Jungkook-ah. I only just wanted to help. That was my only intention." Yoongi sincerely said.

The revelation left Jungkook astounded, realizing the extent to which Yoongi had gone for the sake of their friendship.

His Yoongi hyung did this for him. For them.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Jungkook enveloped Yoongi in a hug, momentarily forgetting about Yoongi's injuries. Yoongi winced at the contact, but the genuine thanks from Jungkook eased the pain, "Thank you, hyung,"
