The New Boy

Beyond the lie

A week had passed,Jimin was in a facility still blind and trying to live a new way but the toll of all that had happened took away his appetite,his strength and his will to live.
Hobi had done as asked and dropped his belongings off and then been told where Jimin was going ,but told not to visit and only call once a week.
Jungkook had thrown himself into finishing his album and only yesterday pasting a fake smile on his face at a tv promotion.
He'd also finally agreed to see his parents,breaking down in front of them as he grieved his lost love til all three were in tears at being reunited with promises of no more interference and that they would always be there for him.
Now a week later he and his friends were at Suga's,supposedly cheering on Jungkooks new album but more inclined to talk about the last week.
"Must feel good to talk to the parents again Kook?"Tae asked
"Yer.....whatever else Jimin said he did encourage me to talk to them..."
"I miss him at work,"Jin said
"I wish we could tell him the ceiling falling wasn't due to sloppiness on his part,who knew it was the workmen in the building next door drilling through into our property causing that hairline crack which then caused the ceiling to drop! At least it's fixed now and we have had the engineers in checking all over." Namjoon murmured.
"I don't get why he finished with you though.." Suga muttered,the few beers he'd had loosening his tongue.
"He was playing me Suga and I was too dumb to see it I really thought...well never mind...."
Hobi was shifting in his seat uncomfortably.
"He had us all fooled Suga," Tae said patting Jungkooks back.
"I'm telling you there's no damn way he didn't love you!"
"Suga drop it,we were all deceived by him,don't keep on Jungkook is trying to get over him,he lied to our friend,he fooled us all accept it!" Namjoon said morosely
"STOP IT!!" No I shouted standing up agitated," I can't do this..."
"It's ok Hobi we will all stop talking about him.."
"But I'm telling you he loved Jungkook!" Suga bellowed
"Suga's right!!" Hobi  rushed out
"See...and I can prove it!" Suga pressed a button on a remote control and music filled the air.
BECAUSE OF YOU I KNOW THAT LIFES WORTH LIVING

as the song finished Jungkook sat up from his slouching position,
"Was that...."
"Jimin,yes,"
"But didn't you tell me that song was your new client PJ or something?" Namjoon asked
"Duh! Park Jimin,PJ?" Suga said
"It's a love song," Hobi murmured
"To his boyfriend!" Suga said looking at Jungkook
"But he dumped me!"
"Oh god I can't do this anymore,Kook he dumped you because he's lost his sight and didn't want to burden you,he made me promise not to tell anyone but now I have and I'm an awful friend to everyone!!" Hobi shouted picking his drink up and swallowing it down in one.
"Woah hold up you're not a good drinker!" Namjoon said as Hobi coughed
"Where is he Hobi?you know don't you?Jungkook asked quietly
Hobi nodded," I know but he won't let me visit I'm only to call once a week,I'm supposed to call today"
"Call him..."
"But..."
"None of you speak...I want to hear his voice..."
They all nodded crowding Hobi as he sighed then dialled a number putting it on speaker.
"Hello?" A quiet monotones voice said
"It's me Hobi,how are you?"
"Hobi...I'm great...really great,I you know have crashed into a few things but hey...how are you,how is ...everyone?"
"Fine,really fine,"
"I heard Kookies new album is out the nurses here were talking about it,I'm glad he finished it ok....is he...is he ok?"
"He's ...well you know...he worked to pass time he's not happy...he's made up with his parents though,"
"He has I'm so pleased....Hobi be there for him I hurt him badly...it's for the best though I don't want to be anyone's burden especially Kookie he's so full of life and energy ......"
"I think you're wrong you know that...."
"Hobi my parents felt I was a burden,they didn't like my life choice and they grew to hate me,I couldn't take excuse the pun,seeing Kookie do that,become fed up with a useless person,you know he said in an argument that I lived off him,I know he regretted it,it was said in anger....but it would be the truth...I know blind people learn coping mechanisms but I'd still hold him back....i can't even see if he's happy or sad,what sort of boyfriend would I be?" Jimin was obviously crying small sniffs punctuating his sentences.
Jungkooks eyes streamed with tears and the rest wiped their eyes and covered their mouths.
"Jimin...you sound so sad..."
"I'm tired Hobi...so tired....of everything....whats the point of it all...."
"Don't say that Jimin,you need to stay strong,eat well and get better.."
"Eat....i m not feeling the need honestly...maybe soon,"
"Jimin surely the nurses are making sure you've eaten properly and are you sleeping?"
"It's six steps to the bathroom ,I throw some food away so they don't know and sleep ...it's hard when you haven't done any work..you have nothing to get tired over."
"Jimin you're worrying me now..."
"Sorry...I'm fine really just fine...,look I don't know what the time is but I should let you go I'm sure you've been busy,thanks for calling..."
The line went dead.
"Oh my god,he sounds...." Jin sobbed
"Im going to him right now where is he?"
"Jungkook you can't you've been drinking...we all have and it's late,get some sleep and go tomorrow and whatever you do bring him back!!" Namjoon said determindly.
"Let's call it a night shall we you were all going to stay over anyway,I don't feel in the mood to drink anymore," Suga said
"Come on babe let's go to bed and cuddle,I feel I need to hold you close," Tae murmured to Jin walking away with him.
Namjoon said his goodnight and went off.
"I'm sorry Jungkook,he made me promise I didn't like it but......"
"But you were being the good friend you are Hobi,it's ok....tell me the address in the morning so I don't get tempted to go tonight..." he patted his friend on the back then turned to Suga.
"The song what made him do it?"
"He wanted to do it for you....said you'd never pushed him even though he could see you wanted him to try and because he'd realised he loved you he did a song that showed you ..."
"Get it released...but under his name...Jimin,"
Suga nodded then yawned," all this drama.....I need sleep."
He walked away leaving Jungkook alone.
"I'm coming baby and this time I'll stick to you like glue..."
