Jimin Protectors ' Book 1 '

Chapter 108 '✅'

Jin's POV:

I didn't expect this reaction from Jimin. He is really eager to heal. He didn't know there was a way for this, and now he is just confused why I didn't offer this to Tae. If only he knew.

Jin: "You can offer this to him, but first tell him what you are going through. You need to share this with him. He is your hyung, and he can understand your feelings, as you do for him now. You are going to heal together." Maybe Tae will agree with this if Jimin asks him, or if he knows that Jimin is struggling too.

Jimin: "Okay, I will go talk to him." He was about to get out of the bed, but I held his hand.

Jin: "Hey, where are you going? Not now." He looked at me with a confused look.

Jimin: "But why? We need to start this now, so we can be fine soon." I chuckled. He really didn't listen when I was talking about the time that he needs to heal.

Jin: "Jiminie, your hyung is asleep now, and I told you, this is not a single session and voila, you are fine. It takes time, a lot of it. Not tomorrow, not next month. You have a long journey, Jimin."

Jimin: "That's why I need to take the first step now. No need to delay, right?!"

He smiled. This time it is not a fake one. Sometimes he surprises me by how he is getting mature so fast. Me or Tae didn't see things the same way he does. We are scared to open up, terrified to face our past. I believe he really trusts us. He feels safe when we are there, so he takes my word as a fact with no single doubt.

He taught me a thing now. If we really trust each other the way he does, we won't wait all this time to start facing our past. I didn't trust Namjoon. Tae didn't trust Jungkook. We didn't trust them enough... is this even going to work if we are...

Jimin: "Hyung! Where did you lose? Did I say something wrong?" He looked concerned now. He never knows I need help too. It's not needed. He needs to see me as a savior, not the weak broken human I already am.

Jin: "Sorry, little one. Just lost in thought. No, you didn't say anything wrong."

Jimin: "Hyung! I'm not little anymore. It's Jiminie for you." He frowned his eyebrows cutely. Despite his trying to puff his chest to convince me how he is not the little kid he had anymore, his small figure always betrayed him, let alone his face. Nothing there but pure cuteness.

Jin: "My big boy Jiminie." I ruffled his hair. He giggled like he wasn't just a broken soul a few minutes ago.

The door knocked and opened when I answered with "Come in." IU came with a fake stern face. Jimin is her weak spot. I didn't even mention what Jimin did was wrong. She will be mad if she knows I didn't scold him about his actions with Yun Hee.

IU: "Why are you so happy, you two?!" Okay, now her sternness is not fake anymore. Jimin ran to where she was standing, hugging her tight.

Jimin: "I love you, Omma. I'm hungry." She pulled him back, holding his cheek in her palms.

IU: "I love you too, but don't ignore my words. Did you say sorry to your hyung?!" He frowned in confusion , she gonna kill me ..

Jimin: "Why should I, Omma? I didn't do anything." She glared at me.

IU: "Oppa! You didn't talk to him, right?!" Her look will burn me alive.

Jin: "We got lost in our talks and... and I was about to tell him. I swear." She put her hand on her hip and looked at Jimin, ignoring me.

IU: "What did you do to the woman back there, Jimin?! Is it right to hit a woman?!" He crossed his arms in protest.

Jimin: "Omma, she was hurting Tae hyung. How can I let her?" She twisted his ear, making him whine in her hold.

IU: "You have your tongue to protest and talk like a man. If I find out you are hitting a woman again, I will hit the hell out of your bum. Do you hear me?"

Jimin: "AHHHHH Ommaaaaa, my ear! You are going to rip it out. Okay, I'm sorry. I will not do this again." She slapped him twice on his butt and let him go.

Jimin: "Omma!!! I'm not a kid anymore. Why are you so violent?" He hid behind me. I just can't hold my laughter. She sent me to scold him because she would hug him if he was sad, but when she saw him giggling, she went wild.

IU: "I will hit your bum even if you are 30. Don't get on my nerves, or you will be treated like a five-year-old kid." She slammed the door behind her.

Jin: "Okay, sometimes your mother is scary." He rubbed his ears.

Jimin: "Sometimes?!"

Jin: "Okay, maybe often. Now what are you going to do?!"

Jimin: "I have two people to ask for their forgiveness - Omma and Taehyung hyung. I hate that woman. She shouldn't come here."
