Blood Brother Bond: BITTW Book 2

Chapter 2: Intervention

Tae had managed to get the plate of food into Jimin's lap, deciding for comfort reasons to put on an action drama just to take all of their minds off of the tension. Jungkook now sat again with Tae on the sofa, Tae's legs resting across Jungkook's lap. Jungkook was warily side glancing at Jimin, watching him take small bites of food and slow chew whilst looking sorrowfully at the plate that was still mostly full. It wasn't loud, but Tae felt the rumble in his legs as Jungkooks stomach growled. Tae shuffled to get up.

"When did you last eat? I'll grab you something." Jungkook caught his wrist waving it off and urging him to sit again. Jimin was looking at both of them now, chopsticks to his lips and pouting.

"I ate this morning. I'll be fine until later this evening, I promise." Jungkook nervously laughed, assuming the stress of the Yoongi situation was causing premature hunger. Tae eyed him up waiting to make sure he was okay, watching his eyes and facial expressions carefully. He jumped a little, fumbling in his pocket for his phone. 

"Are you sure you'll be okay?" Tae was now more focused on his phone, getting up once again. Jungkook looking at Jimin and back to Tae. "Make sure you do feed yourself. I have to go, PD Nim is needing me."  Tae gave a quick peck to the top of Jungkook and then Jimins head before heading to the door. "and make sure Jimin finishes his food as well." Tae gave them both a parental glare before shutting the door behind him.

Jungkook sighed in relief that Tae had been called away. He looked over when Jimin got up to place his food on the table and then come over to sit on the sofa with Jungkook. The pout was still on his lips. "I'm so sorry, Jimin." Jungkook, hand to the back of Jimins neck, pulled him into a tight hug. Jimin held onto Jungkook for a moment before releasing the hug and clearing his throat.

"You shouldn't be sorry, I may feel uneasy but I wouldn't even mind if he wanted a poly relationship." Jimin's eyes were full of riddles and solutions, he had thoroughly mulled over everything. Jungkook caught his face between his hands. 

"Is there anything I can do?" Jungkook's eyes were round and full of seriousness. Both of them interrupted by a audible stomach growl this time. Both of them laughed. Jungkook holding up a finger before getting up to grab a flask from his fridge. Taking a swig before rounding the corner to the living room, he scrunched his nose and let out a little cough after he swallowed.

"Not that good?" Jimin's eyes were pouting at him in an apologetic way. Jungkook nodded.

"It's not great, especially cold. But so much better than it was." He rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled. It still felt weird talking about how blood tasted. Jimin sniggered.

"Well, heat it up then." Jimin stood to grab the flask from his hand, his hand overlapping Jungkooks. Jungkook gripping the flask harder and shaking his head. Jimin dropped his hand, giving an ah and a nod when he realised Jungkooks focus was on the situation at hand.

"It'll do, we have an important topic to discuss before Tae returns." Jimin nodded.

On the way back to the sofa, Jungkook picked up the plate with food and handed it to Jimin. "Please," He gave a worried look, "I don't want to hear about it later if he returns and sees you have barely touched it." Jimin took the plate, but stared at it with the stubbornness of a child being told to take their medicine. "So, you said you wouldn't mind if Yoongi wanted to go the poly direction? What makes you think he wants that kind of hectic style relationship?" Jungkook took another swig from his flask, settling in on the arm of the sofa.

Jimin had his knees pulled to his chest again in attempt to console himself. He'd placed the food beside him on the sofa. Jungkook sighed, moved to place his flask on the coffee table and grabbing the plate. Already having a mouth full of food at Jimin's lips.
