Jimin Protectors ' Book 1 '

Chapter 109 '✅'

Author's POV:

IU: "Where have you been all day, Yooni?" IU looked up from the couch in her room as Yoongi finally arrived home. She couldn't hide her concern and frustration.

Yoongi walked over to where she was sitting and laid his head on her lap, gently caressing her baby bump where their little beans were growing.

Yoongi: "I'm sorry, babe. I got a call from work. They needed me for an emergency, so I had to go," he explained, planting a tender kiss on her stomach and holding her hands tightly. He was visibly exhausted and in desperate need of rest.

IU: "What's wrong, love? You don't look fine at all," she murmured, her voice filled with concern as she caressed his hair gently.

Yoongi sighed and looked into her eyes, his voice heavy with emotion.

Yoongi: "I've been missing you so much. It's been a long time since I've had you all to myself. Can you just hold me for a while?"

Yoongi was not one to easily ask for affection, but deep down, he was one of the most sensitive souls who needed love to keep going. Ever since that incident, Tae had been absent from work, leaving Yoongi with an overwhelming workload. The burden of carrying the factory's responsibilities without Tae's support was taking a toll on him.

The weight of Tae's stoic silence was draining Yoongi's mind. He longed to help his little brother, but Tae refused to accept any assistance. As time passed, Yoongi's irritation grew, feeling helpless in the face of Tae's emotional struggle. He knew that Tae needed to open up, but he was at a loss for how to make him do so.

IU felt the weight on Yoongi's soul. He doesn't need to talk for her to know. His eyes may speak a foreign language for others, but not for her.

She pulled him to lie on her chest instead of her lap.

IU: "It's okay, Yooni. Everything will be fine. Tae will be fine. If work has overloaded you, I can join to help. Let's talk to Hobi. He will help," she kept caressing his hair, giving his soul the comfort that was much needed.

Yoongi: "How come he will be okay, babe? He is not even trying. I'm done with seeing him hurt. I missed his real smile. I'm scared that I will not see it again." She kissed his forehead with a tender kiss.

IU: "I was waiting for you to talk about this, actually." He pulled back from her hold.

Yoongi: "What happened! Did Tae have another attack?"

IU: "Calm down. In fact, he did, but..."

Yoongi: "What calm down, IU? You are saying he already had another attack." He was about to get up to go see Tae, but she pulled him back.

IU: "Can you hear me out first? Okay, he had one, but Jin was there and he talked to him, and..."

Yoongi: "And what?!"

IU: "And talked to Jimin." He stayed still, looking at her with shock.

Yoongi: "Why Jimin?! What did they talk about? IU, please don't tell me Jimin has anything to do with this." She caressed his cheek.

IU: "Yooni, please. We both know Jimin needs professional help, and we both know he is not fine. He started to sleep in his own room for a month now. Can you count how many nights he ended up in our bed again in the middle of the night?! Did you notice how he keeps distance between him and Ara? His body is always tense when she is there."

Yoongi: "I don't mind him sleeping with us, and that's better. He needs to keep distance from that girl. It's safer for him." She rolled her eyes at his unreasonable act ..

IU: "Can you control your jealous ass and focus on your son's condition? He is fighting something he doesn't even know, so we need to fix this. I don't know what he talked about with Jin oppa, but Jin oppa told me he is okay with professional help." Yoonig's eyes widened with surprise

Yoongi: "Did he agree?! For real?" The long fight with Tae and Jin to get professional help didn't give Yoongi any hope with Jimin. He knew his son was not fine, but he thought...

IU: "Yes, love. It seems our son is eager to heal. That's what I want to say. Your hyung already agreed to get help too."

Yoongi: "WHAT?! Jin hyung is ready to be treated already?!"

IU: "Yes, love... so... we thought if Jimin talked to Tae, maybe he would agree too to start his treatment already. It worked with Jin, so..."

Yoongi: "I can't believe Jin agreed already. My angel has power. Where is Jimin now? Is he asleep already?" He was about to go to him, but IU held him again.

IU: "There is something you need to know. Your son hit Yun Hee when she came this afternoon."

Yoongi's eyes couldn't go any wider.

Yoongi: "Yun Hee was here??? And... Jimin! Jimin, my son?? Hit her?! You are kidding, right?" IU chuckled at Yoongi's reaction. Okay, no one can imagine Jimin being violent.

IU: "Okay, stop being surprised. She was here to see Tae. She really confessed her love for him. Your brother couldn't take it, so that's when Jimin thought she was hurting Tae, and I really didn't know how he grabbed her hair. Your son went wild. I don't know what happened to him."

Yoongi: "This is too much." Yoongi sat holding his head, pulling his hair in frustration.
