Jimin Protectors ' Book 1 '

Chapter 85 '✅'

Author's POV:

Jungkook: "I'm sorry I realized it too late, but I think I like you. No, I love you. All these years, I enjoyed having you follow me around, but my foolish heart didn't understand what it meant. But the moment you weren't there for me, the moment you were there smiling at another man, I almost lost my mind. Don't you ever dare look at anyone with those eyes except for me."

Jungkook pulled Seo Joon closer, closing the small gap between them. His grip was firm but gentle.

Seo Joon: "Jungkook, are you playing with me? Please don't joke about something like this. I know you enjoy teasing me, but this is too much."

Tears filled her eyes as her emotions became a mess. The thought that her one-sided love might not be one-sided anymore was overwhelming and hard to understand.

She tried to push him away, but he held her tightly and refused to let go. Then, to her surprise, he leaned in and kissed her, leaving her shocked and breathless.

Jungkook: "Do you still think I'm joking?" He gently wiped away the tears that had fallen from her eyes. His touch was both comforting and exciting.

Seo Joon's legs felt weak, but Jungkook's arms supported her as he pinned her against the wall.

He was about to lean in for another kiss when the door suddenly opened, showing an excited Jimin.

Jimin: "Hyung, you were amazing—" Jimin's words stopped as his eyes landed on Jungkook holding Seo Joon so closely.

Jungkook: "Looks like we have someone joining us, Joon. Come here, Jimin." Jungkook let go of Seo Joon's waist and took her hand instead.

Jimin was confused by the unexpected situation. He should have knocked, but who was this girl, and why was Jungkook holding her hand like this? Thoughts raced through his mind, but he moved closer to Jungkook as he was asked.

Jungkook: "Hey, Jiminie, don't be shy. This is Seo Joon, my girlfriend." The shock on Jimin's and Seo Joon's faces looked exactly the same.

Jimin: "When did you—?"

Seo Joon: "When did we—?" They both couldn't understand what Jungkook had just said.

Yoongi: "I thought you'd never confess." Yoongi entered the room, holding IU's hand.

Jungkook: "Hyung, did you know?"

Jin: "Of course we did. You were so obvious. 'Love to annoy her'—yeah right. We were watching you." Jungkook looked at Taehyung, who stayed silent, only smiling playfully.

Taehyung: "Don't look at me. I don't understand these things, but you definitely weren't subtle." Laughter filled the room, but Jimin's mind was somewhere else.

How could his hyung hold her hand so easily and speak so calmly, as if nothing special was happening? Jungkook had just confessed his love and was about to kiss her, yet he seemed fine. Unlike Jimin, who couldn't think clearly or understand his own feelings when he stood in front of Ara. What did he need to do to be like Jungkook?

Taehyung's Room...

Taehyung: "Jimin, what's wrong with you? You've been walking around the room nervously since we got back from Jungkook's show. What's bothering you so much?"

Jimin continued his restless movements. His worry was clear.

Jimin: "I need you to answer me, Tae hyung . You told me it's normal to feel nervous and unable to speak in front of the person you love. But look at how amazing Kookie hyung is! He just went out there and confessed his love, held her hand. Oh my god, I wish I could be like Jungkook hyung right now. He has super power .. Did you see how he managed to stand beside her like there is nothing going on !!"

Taehyung couldn't help but laugh at Jimin's amazement with Jungkook's confidence. Jimin didn't know that Jungkook had been a mess all these years, secretly wanting Seo Joon's attention but never admitting that he couldn't live without her. Jimin had seen the final chapter of their story.

Taehyung: "Calm down, Jiminaa. You'll have your moment too. Jungkook has known her for years, so it's natural for him to feel comfortable around her. Plus, you've made progress yourself. Didn't she like your dance and even defend you against that guy who bullied you? It's clear to everyone that she likes you. You just need to take a step toward her." Jimin sat in front of Taehyung on his bed with his eyes full of helplessness

Jimin: "How can I? I get nervous just when she looks at me. Plus, Appa's cameras are watching my each move. I can't do this when he's constantly watching me."

Taehyung gently touched Jimin's head, trying to comfort him.

Taehyung: "Okay, it's been almost six months since he put in those cameras. Maybe it's time to ask him to stop. You've learned your lesson, and I don't think he would mind." Jimin shook his head not agreeing with what Tae said

Jimin: "No, he'll think I want to skip again. But I swear I won't. Do you think I can ask Omma to talk to him and convince him?" Taehyung shrugged his shoulders

Taehyung: "Do whatever feels easier for you to convince him. If talking to Your mother will help, then go ahead and ask her."

Jimin stayed quiet for a while as thoughts filled his mind, making his heart race.

Jimin: "Okay, I have a question." Jimin was searching Tae's eyes like he was trying to find an answer for an unspoken question ..

Taehyung: "What is it?"

Jimin: "About that guy you mentioned, Chul... I haven't seen him again. You didn't do anything to him, did you?!"

Taehyung looked away from Jimin, knowing that Jimin wouldn't be okay with what they did.

Taehyung: "Why are you asking?"

Jimin's voice shook with concern and worry..

Jimin: "Hyung!! Don't tell me... Did you hurt him?! He didn't do anything to me; he just made me slip."

Taehyung raised his hand shaking his head

Taehyung: "Hey, hey, calm down. We didn't do anything that would cause all this panic. Just relax."

Jimin's eyebrows came together as he demanded an explanation from his hyung.

Jimin: "Then what did you do ?!"

Jimin crossed his arms over his chest, waiting for Taehyung to give him answers.

Taehyung took a deep breath, preparing himself to explain their actions.

Taehyung: "Well, we made sure that he wouldn't be able to perform in any dance competitions at your school. He got suspended for a month, so you won't see him for a while."

Jimin's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. Standing up and looking at Taehyung with shocking eyes ..

Jimin: "Hyung!! He loves dancing, and he's actually really good at it. Why did you do this to him?"

Taehyung pulled Jimin closer to sit down in front of him again, holding his hand tightly to comfort him.

Taehyung: "Jimin, bullying is not something we can accept or let go without punishment. It's terrible behavior. He needs to understand that if he does what he did again, he will lose something he truly loves. We didn't end his future in dancing; he can still dance outside of your school. But the place where he felt like he could easily bully someone just because he thought he was better than them—no, we will not let that happen. Do you understand me?"

Jimin's emotions swirled inside him as he tried to understand Taehyung's words. While he felt sorry for Chul's love for dance, he felt safe and protected by his hyungs. They didn't just go crazy to take revenge blindly. They thought wisely and took their steps calmly without hurting anyone.

Jimin: "Thank you, hyung. You know that I really love you. You know how to listen to me. Even if you are much older than me, I really feel like you are my best friend. Just don't tell this to Taemin—his stupid jealous self will be hurt."
