nightmares ; yoonmin

chapter 11

that night, thankfully, jimin only suffered from a small nightmare, which meant that his reaction wasnt too severe and yoongi could easily calm him down without any harm done. when they both finally woke up, and got dressed, yoongi had been contemplating on what they should do for the day. jimin leaving all of the daegu plans up to him was turning out t be harder than he had expected. they sat in their hotel room for a good half an hour before yoongi finally came up with something.

"could we maybe visit my brother at school? like, buy him lunch or something?" yoongi said, watching jimin smile widely. "of course we can! i would like to properly meet the kid anyway, he looks like you, you know?" jimin responded quickly, with a nod of his head. so, yoongi pulled out his phone, searching up what the nearest high school was. he eventually found it, a rather large school near his childhood home. 

when they arrived, yoongi walked up to the front desk, jimin close behind him. "uh- hi, we're here to see min joonhyun." yoongi requested politely, watching the lady pull out a speakerphone. "min joonhyun to the front office please." she spoke through the intercom, hanging it up right after. joonhyun rushed into the office only minutes later, relief filling his face when he realized that he wasnt in trouble and it was just his brother standing there. 

they decided to take joonhyun out to eat during his lunch break, to not only catch up but to just spend some time together. "oh, before i forget, joonhyun this is my boyfriend, jimin. jimin, this is my younger brother, joonhyun." yoongi introduced the two, watching happily as joonhyun bowed respectfully to jimin before the two exchanged a handshake and a smile. "so, hows school?" yoongi then asked as they got seated, watching joonhyun perk up. "good, well, as good as it gets." he chuckled lightly, smiling a smile very similar to yoongis.

they chatted for a full hour over some light food before joonhyun brought up that he should get back to school, and they drove him back. "it was great seeing you, hyung, i've missed you." joonhyun said as they bid their temporary goodbyes outside of his school. "and, it was very nice to meet you, jimin hyung." he then addressed jimin, which made jimin smile warmly. they watched joonhyun walk in, before turning back to yoongis car.

the moment they sat inside, to jimins surprise, yoongi started to break down in tears. "baby? whats wrong? oh gosh." jimin rushed, pulling yoongi haphazardly from the drivers seat into his lap as he sat in the passengers seat. jimin held him tightly as yoongi sobbed into his shirt, his cries shaking the both of them. when he finally managed to calm him down, jimin spoke up. "baby, whats wrong? are you okay?" he asked gently, using his thumb to wipe the wetness from under yoongis eyes.

yoongi sniffled slightly before sighing, "i- i just-" he started, trying to prevent himself from crying again, "i feel so guilty. every day theres this weight on my chest because i just left him. i left that wonderful boy alone while my family fell apart because i was having my own selfish issues. and hes so- hes so smart, jimin. such a good kid, much better than i ever was. and even after all of that, he forgave me without a second thought. i feel like i almost wanted him to be angry at me so i got what i deserved."

jimin stayed silent throughout yoongi small rant and even for some time afterwards, trying to think of the right words to say to him. yoongi had never really spoken about his home life before. "yoongi, sweetheart, dont blame yourself. and i know its easier said than done, but just learn to live with the fact that yeah, maybe in the past you did fuck up. but so did everyone else in their own ways. all you can do now is try and mend the relationship between you two the best you can." jimin explained, eyes trained somewhere away from yoongis face.

yoongi collapsed into jimins body right as he finished talking, "you always know what to say." he mumbled, inhaling jimins sweet scent. jimin chuckled, the vibrations from his laughter traveling to yoongi. "not really, but im glad i could help a little." he laughed, hugging yoongi close to him in the tight space of their car. "you help me so much, so this is the least i can do, baby." jimin continued, and yoongi knew he was referring to his nightmares. but jimin never, ever had to apologize for that. yoongi wouldnt be here if he didnt want his jiminie right by his side, nightmares or not.
