Games

Chapter 18

Jimin had acted like nothing had ever happened the following week. Every time Jungkook wanted to start talking about the "Patrick" subject, he hushed him saying he no longer wished to talk about it and just forget what had happened. Jungkook didn't agree on that, but he had to admit himself he liked to have the old Jimin back. He was cheerful again, bouncing around the house like he used to.

"Kook!" he came running downstairs.

"What's up?" he asked, putting his phone aside.

"I got an audition!" Jimin yelled jumping into his arms the moment he was close enough. " That's great! For what exactly? he asked.

Jimin looked incredibly happy. " For the musical Chicago! Just as background dancer, but still, I never thought I would get into the auditions in the first place!"

Jungkook frowned. " Why didn't you tell me you were auditioning?"

"Because like I said, I thought I wouldn't make it anyways...But now I am!"

Jimin twirled around like a little kid.

"When's the audition? he asked, smiling as he couldn't remember the last time he'd seen Jimin this happy.

"This weekend and it's in London....BUT I have the perfect idea for my letter, so don't worry, we're still on for this weekend!"

"Great. Well let's get packing then, we might as well leave today. Enjoy London a bit!"

This time it was Jimin who frowned.

"We?" he said.

"Yes silly, of course I'll come with. You just said yourself didn't you, about the game and all?"

Jimin shook his head. " Nope, the fun part of the letter I picked is that you are going to stay here."

Jungkook looked confused. " Then how are we going to play? And by the way, don't you want my support?"

"I do.....I do! But I think it would be good for me to do this on my own. And trust me, the game is still on, TRUST me!"

" Alright, I trust you. But I still think I should come with....he huffed.

Jimin walked over and kissed his cheek. " I promise to make for it when I get back okay?"

He softly kissed his cheek again. Embarrassing as it was Jungkook let out a soft moan, he was getting desperate in wanting to kiss him, but to Jimin it was all still a game.

"I'll miss you...." he said, no knowing exactly why he admitted that to his best friend. " Good!" Jimin smiled and then left him alone, starting to pack his bags.

Jimin took the train to London. The moment he sat down, he put his iPod on and tried to dream off for a bit.

He had his songs played on shuffle, and just as he was about to drift off, he could hear a familiar tune starting to play, it was 'Fools Gold.'

Stupid love songs! He thought. There was a painful lump in his throat and a burning feeling behind his eyes.

"Damn you Kook!" he muttered, as he tried to swallow the tears away.

It wasn't working, and when he broke, he really broke and let his tears flow freely.

Thank god he was on an empty train, he didn't have no one to explain this to. Impatiently he waited for the train to arrive in London, then quickly got off and made his way to his hotel.

It was the first time he and Jungkook had been apart for longer that a day, since this game started, and he was already really missing him.

Jimin met up with a group of dancers he had to audition with and had a good time rehearsing, but his mind kept wondering off to Jungkook.

Jimin decided not to join the group for dinner and went back to his hotel.

Saturday would be an important day for him. He really wanted to do the audition well.

When he lay in bed that night, he couldn't resist to send Jungkook a text.

"Pathetic,  I know....but I really miss you..."  he wrote. Within seconds he got a reply.

"You've always been pathetic...."

Jimin smiled and quickly text back

"Are you telling me your not missing me then?"

He stared down at his screen, waiting for the reply to come.

"I do. Not fun being here alone and you have only been gone half a day..."

That answer was enough to get his eyes filled up with tears again.

"I'll be back before you know it. Have to go to sleep now, important day tomorrow. Sleep tight!"

Jimin was the first to arrive at the Delphi Theatre. He dropped his stuff off, signed in and got his number, then began to do some warming up exercises.

While people slowly started to arrive, Jimin heard his phone go off in his bag.

"Am thinking of you. Break a leg!"

Jimin smiled, just as he was about to turn his phone off before it interrupted anything important, it beeped again.

"Should not have said that. With your clumsiness you probably will break a leg. Just wanted to wish you good luck!"

"Everybody ready to begin?" Some fit looking guy yelled. They were all let into the big stage and the audition could begin.

"How did it go?" Jungkook asked the moment Jimin got back from to his hotel and got on the phone.

"Think it went alright, I have to come back with 14 others tomorrow..."

"I knew it! You're the best, told you!" He could here the sincere excitement in Jungkook's voice.

"So how was your day?" Jimin asked.

"Nothing special, didn't do much.."

"Are you ready to do something now? Jimin asked, trying to sound as seductive as he could.

"What do you mean now?" Jungkook asked.

"I mean pick the letter 'M' he said. " it stands for me-time..."

"Me- time? That is not a word, I can tell you it's not!"

"You want to okay or not?" Jimin said somewhat stent. He could hear an immediate change in Jungkook's voice  

"Alright, what did you have in mind?"

"Go to my room, so you can feel me being around you...." Jimin heard a tiny chuckle and then an embarrassed

"I was already there..."

Jimin blushed. Not that anyone could see that he'd blushed. Jungkook had missed him enough to go to his room, he smiled to himself.
