Desperate Dreams

Chapter 19

Taehyung was in his room, working hard on the assignment Jin gave him. He wanted his assignment to be the best and get praised by Jin, so he was working on it since morning non stop.
Even Jimin wasn't that dedicated towards the assignment, as Taheyung was.
"Tae baby it's enough now... You have been working on it since yesterday, your shoulder is still not healed" spoke Jimin, a futile attempt to get Taehyung away from the work.
Taehyung just shook his head subconsciously.
"Enough, get up now" scolded Jimin as he snatched the files Taehyung was working on.
"Hyungg," whined Taehyung " Jin hyung won't praise me now" he said sadly, looking down.
"Huh? What do you mean?" questioned Jimin in confusion. Taehyung face palmed as he giggled cutely and spoke " Dumbo, hyungie will love and praise Tae only if he does his work properly na... Else only scoldings, I don't want scoldings. Hmph!" Taehyung puffed his cheeks at the thought of getting scolded.

Jimin felt his heart drop down to his stomach as he heard Taehyung's word. The poor boy was really ready to do anything just for his hyung's love wasn't he?
"No baby, hyung will still praise you. You are one of his best trainees and you still have 3 days to submit it " spoke Jimin, trying to convince his brother.

"NOO," shouted Taehyung " Hyungie said that he won't treat my shoulder from now... But I am sure if I give the best assignment hyungie will give me some reward and then I will ask him to treat me... Yeahhh, see hyung I am so smart " Taehyung clapped happily, feeling proud of the plan he made.

Jimin just gave him a sad smile, at one side it was his twin yearning for his hyung's love, at the other side it was the contract he saw in his hyung's room.
He was stuck it between, not knowing which way to go.

"Okay, all the best. I will do my assignment too" by saying this, he left the room.

On the other side, Namjoon came out of his room after getting freshen up.
He was glad that today the hits weren't that painful. Though at the same time he was worried if Jin was okay, because his hyung really seemed tired and worned out while beating him and maybe that's why the hits weren't that harsh.
His assumption proved true, when he saw Jin slouched, on the couch, his head clutched harshly between his hands as if in an attempt to reduce the unbearable pain.

Namjoon took hesitant steps towards Jin thinking he might anger him further instead of helping him. His body wasn't in a condition to bear more beatings for the day, but his heart was ready to do anything to bring relief to his hyung.

With the newly found determination, Namjoon approached Jin from behind and bought his hands up towards Jin's head. His hands were shaking badly in fear, but he also knew a good massage would ease his brother's pain and exhaustion.

As Namjoon's trembling hands reached Jin's head, he paused for a moment, unsure if his gesture would be welcomed. But seeing Jin's evident discomfort, Namjoon pushed past his fear and gently began massaging Jin's head without any permission.

At first, Jin flinched badly at the sudden touch, but as Namjoon's hands worked their magic, gradually easing the knots of tension, Jin's shoulders visibly relaxed. A soft sigh escaped Jin's lips, and he leaned into Namjoon's touch, grateful for the relief.

Any sort of doubt in Namjoon's mind melted away as he felt the tension in Jin's muscles gradually loosen beneath his fingertips.

After several minutes of soothing massage, Jin finally spoke, his voice laced with exhaustion but tinged with gratitude, "Thank you," though his voice was very low, it was enough to reach Namjoon's ears and bring a smile on his lips.

Namjoon smiled, relieved that his hyung wasn't angry and for once he could help him and not disappoint him. "You're welcome, hyung" he replied softly, continuing the massage with renewed determination.

After another few minutes, Jin abruptly stood up. He mentally scolded himself for acting so stupid and forgetting about what he was supposed to do "It's enough, you can leave now" spoke Jin, his voice a little harsher this time. Namjoon though a little upset by the sudden change, nodded his head and left to bring his car keys.

At the office, Yoongi could see how Namjoon was rushing so much to do his work. With each passing moment, he couldn't hold in his curiosity and finally at last asked " Is your therapy scheduled earlier today?"
Namjoon looked up and shook his head, and then without a verbal reply again got back to his work. Yoongi felt a little embarassed and spoke " Then why are you in so much hurry today?" he asked curiously, leaning onto the table gazing at the files in Namjoon's head.

Namjoon looked up again, a little nervous. He didn't know how the answer, he of course couldn't tell Yoongi that he had to arrange things so that Jungkook can sneak out for his tournament and so he was trying to complete his work before time.
"Ermm hyung... Actually I-I have to go out with a friend today... So" stuttered Namjoon, Yoongi could tell he was lying but he didn't wanted to force Namjoon into telling the truth and with a small okay, he went back to his work. Namjoon was glad for not being interrogated further.

Like this another day passed and it was finally the day of Jungkook's tournament. Namjoon had done all the preparations he could do within his power for Jungkook to attend the tournament without Jin knowing about it.

It was 5 in the morning, when Namjoon was driving himself and Jungkook to the stadium. Jungkook's racing car was already there and the little boy was more than excited to see his precious car after so long.
