Jimin Protectors ' Book 1 '

Chapter 103 '✅'

Jin's POV:

Jin: "You are not the only one who needs help. If I attend my much-needed session, will you?"

His whole body tensed in my hold. I'm not at all in any better state, but I need to do this. I can't believe I'm revealing the fact that I attempted to hurt myself in front of Tae, the one who used to look up to me and...

But he didn't look surprised! Did he already know?

He pushed me and got up from the bed.

Taehyung: "Nothing will change, hyung. I'm not going to a stranger to tell him what I went through. It won't change anything."

That's exactly what I was thinking all those years, but I know now that I shouldn't have waited all these years to seek professional help, not with Jimin being here. Me and Tae lost a lot of years hoping to heal by our family's love, but it didn't work. We are still struggling. I can't let Jimin go through the same thing I and Tae did. We need to know the right path for him to grow up healthy.

Jin: "What can we lose more, Tae? We already have nothing, but we need to try, to know. If it works for us, it will save Jimin from going through the same fate we have."

He snapped his head, looking me in the eyes with his eyes full of confusion , panic and terrified stare .

Taehyung: "What's wrong with Jimin? Why did you bring him into this? He is fine. He already has a girlfriend, his mother, and Yoongi's love. He is happy most of the time. He doesn't need any help to pass his past." I can't believe he can't see behind Jimin's act. He is just a kid, and he doesn't even try to hide. He himself is as clueless as Tae about his own struggles.

I stood up, heading to where Tae was standing in a defensive position like I was going to attack him anytime soon. I put my hand on his shoulder.

Jin: "Tae, I know what you've been through lately. You were busy with your secretary problem. You don't have time to spend with Jimin and his girl, but if you did, you would know he is anything but healed." He frowned his eyebrows.

Taehyung: "What do you mean?"

Flashback a month ago...

Author's POV:

Jimin: "Please Ara, you need to meet my parents. I'm talking about you all the time, but they couldn't meet you properly till now. Come with me. Omma wants you to have dinner with my family."

Taemin: "GOD, am I being invisible? How long have I been your best friend? You never invited me to have dinner in your house." Jimin slapped his friend's back head.

Jimin: "You almost live in my house. Why should I invite you for dinner when you will eat without me asking you? And why are you sitting with us? I need to have a talk with her, for God's sake." Ara giggled at the two friends who never stopped picking on each other.

Ara: "Okay, stop you two. And Minie, I want to come, but I need to ask my mother first. I can't just go without her permission."

Jimin: "Okay, call her now." He pulled her phone from her hand, searching for her mother's number.

Ara: "Minie... No, I need to ask her when I come home. I can't ask her through the phone."

Taemin: "Why not?" He was stuffing his mouth with the last piece of his sandwich.

Ara: "It's how it works. I just can't. Can you wait for tomorrow, Minie?" He nodded his head, and she shyly held his hand, thanking him.

Taemin pulled his friend's hand from her.

Taemin: "Don't get too comfortable with my friend. I knew him before you." Jimin looked at Taemin like he wanted to kill him.

Jimin: "You are not coming tomorrow with her if you don't stop your stupid act." He pulled his hand from Taemin and hit him again.

Taemin: "Oh God, why am I still single? But I don't want to have a girlfriend. I just want my long-gone best friend back." He cried and left them to go to class. The break was almost done.

Jimin giggled at his poor friend. He liked how possessive Taemin got when Jimin stayed with Ara, but he had nothing to do about it.

He was lost in his thoughts when he felt a hand on his lower back that caused him to push the hand harshly and stand up immediately.

Ara: "Jimin... I... I didn't mean to scare you... I was just..."

Jimin: "No, no, I'm sorry. I just didn't expect to... never mind. I'm okay. Let's go to our class."

Jimin was confused since he got in this relationship with Ara. He would always panic when she made a move to touch him without him being conscious about it.

He felt good when he held her hand. It gave him a butterfly feeling. No one ever gave him this sensation, but there was something wrong with anything further.

As simple as back patting or her putting her hand on his knees, his whole body would tense, or he would push her without thinking further.

His family's touch never gave him these feelings, or even Taemin's. Why wasn't he feeling safe around her?

Should he share this with his family? Was it normal to feel like this? Ara's questioning eyes scared him. She wasn't asking, but she would at some point, but he had nothing to say. He didn't know what was wrong with his body to feel like this.
