Across the Universe - Namjin Yoonmin Taekook

•32•

Jimin is now working next to Suran with a frown on his face and a heavy feeling inside his chest. They've been in absolute silence for the last hour. The girl knows him enough to know when to leave him on his own. Dealing with him has been part of her entire career. They've both been the best of their class and ended up as a team many times. Which doesn't fully mean they're friends but they can read each other pretty well. They know each other's weaknesses and desires. That's what keeps them together and separates at the same time...

- I'll be right back

- Please Suran, don't take too long.

- I'll just go call Min so he can help us.

- Don't.

- Is it an order? Because three heads think better than two

- I hate to say this. But he's a fraud. He didn't write that project like he said.

- Well, duh. Tell me something I don't know

- He told you?!

- He didn't need to tell me anything. Are you serious? You didn't realize he was lying? It was quite obvious!

- Why didn't you say anything to me?!

- Min didn't become smart out of nowhere, I thought you knew!

- If I would've known why the fuck would I let him in my ship?

- I guessed you wanted him here. He's the only one that keeps you under control.

- No he's not!

- Oh please. You always go too far with everything, you demand too much of yourself and others, you don't know your own priorities and sometimes forget to eat or sleep for a whole day. And Min...he really is incredible. He's so caring and sweet, sensitive and attentive...

The way Suran's eyes shine naming Yoongi makes Jimin uncomfortable. He knows perfectly how interested she's always been in him. Although Yoongi could never interpret that from her cold expressions. She's like Jimin in many ways. Showing her feelings isn't that easy. Hell, Yoongi spent his whole career thinking she was trying to steal Jimin from him. Not knowing she almost ignores this mission to stay on earth near Yoongi thinking he wasn't gonna be on the ship.

- Do you have to sound so interested when you mention him? He's a liar

- Yes and a complete idiot. I'm not saying he's secretly smart. But he's loved by many of us despite it.

- Yeah well, I used to care for him until now. He never lied to me like this before.

- No, he's always been perfect and now he made a tiny-big mistake. I'm guessing you're not considering the balance of those things.

- Maybe he became an idiot with time and now he'll keep fucking things up. I don't have any other explanation as to why he risked it all to come here.

- Maybe it's because he loves you too much

Oh, that word plays games in Jimin's heart and head. For the first time all night, he stops thinking of his work and the risk of losing it. He's now focused on the idea of Yoongi being in love with him and how that makes his heart feel a calm that takes over his soul. Why? Why is he loving the idea of it? He's not supposed to be even considering that as a pleasant idea. He's angry, he's never been this mad, he hates him. He must hate him. He can't forgive him. No...

- Jimin?

- Hmm?

- You've been standing there quietly for the last two minutes. What are you thinking of?

- N-Nothing. I just...I need some air.

He walks out before she can state the obvious. He's inside his head thinking of Min Yoongi and what he means to him. He walks up to the other side of the ship, ignoring Hobi's nervous attitude near the controls. He stops at Yoongi's door and after taking a deep breath he knocks on it. There's no answer. That only makes him even more upset than before and knocks again, harder and letting the loud sound be heard across the hallway. But once more, no one answers.

- For fuck's sake

He opens the door himself ready to have a heated argument and maybe venting about what he feels. That mix of love and disappointment will have to wait. There's no one inside the room and all he finds is a note on top of Yoongi's desk. Seeing his name written on the top of it, he decides to read it.

I, Min Yoongi, wanna let everyone who reads this that my actions on the ship where all my decision. Captain Park never did anything to hurt his crew or this project. I lied and scammed the government to join them and it's my own decision to leave on a mission now.
If I don't come back, all my things are for my family. And for my Jiminie, I leave him all my songs for whenever he needs them.
I'm sorry.

He has to read it three times before his legs can take him out of that room. He checks the whole ship to find him but he's not there. And when his eyes land on Hobi something clicks. His nervous ticks are acting up, he knows something.

- Tell me where's Yoongi.

- I don't kno-

- I'm not asking, it's an order.

- I really don't know.

Jimin gives him a look that lets him know that order just became a threat. He'll destroy Hobi's defense to find the man he lov...hates...whatever that feeling is. It takes the sub-captain a few minutes before he breaks and tells him the truth. At the same time, Tae and Jin enter the main room seeing them argue. And Jimin hates disobeying the protocol. But if it's to save Min Yoongi, he would do anything in this world...
