Care for me(Namjin×yoonmin)

Friendship

Jimin pov

I wipe the sweat from my forehead as I enter the dance room Taehyung and I always eat lunch at. Even after I finished running away from Jin and eating lunch, I still find myself exhausted. "Hey."

Taehyung looks up from his phone and smiles at me. "I was beginning to think you forgot about me." He says. I shake my head as I walk over to him as he sits against the glass mirror.

"How could I ever forget about you? I'm shocked that you thought that." I joke, making Taehyung's face heat up. I sit down next to him, but I'm sure to keep a little distance between us. I know he still likes me and I don't want to lead him on again. 

"...so are you ready to explain?" He asks timidly. I eye him for a second before looking at the wall in front of us. 

I breath out. "I hate these depressing topics." I mumble as Taehyung plays with his phone's brightness awkwardly while he waits. "You see- I...I'm an orphan and just recently my brother and I got sent to live in different houses so- it's been really h-hard." By the end I'm full on balling like a baby. "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to bring down your m-mood."

I'm shocked when I feel his arms wrap around my torso and pull me close. "I had no idea that you were going through so much. Don't feel like all our conversations have to be cheerful." He pulls me away. "If you ever need to just talk then come find me." 

I wipe my tears away with the back of my hands and give a small laugh. "Thanks for understanding. One more thing." 

"Anything." 

"Please don't tell Jin that I cried. I don't want him to stress over nothing." I plead. Taehyung bites his lips and gives me an unsure look.

"I don't know..."

"Please, he already has enough to deal with." 

"Okay." I exhale deeply and move towards his speakers. 

"Can I use your phone?" He hands it to me and I place it in the slot. "Thanks." I hit play on his songs playlist and get up. "I'm in a dancing mood." I smile. 

"You're always in a dancing mood." I chuckle at how right he is. Dancing has always helped me calm down and feel better. 

"Yeah, I guess you're right." 

                                                                                           ***

"I don't want to go back to class." I whine as I cling to Taehyung's arm dramatically.

 "I don't want to sit through another boring lecture." Taehyung mumbles.

"Exactly that's why we should skip-"

"Skip?" I gasp as I see Jungkook smirking with his hands folded. "Should I report that and take away a merit point?"

I switch positions and cling to Jungkook. "No- you should let us slide since we're your hyungs." I plead making him laugh.

"Relax, I'm just kidding. I was actually looking for you to give you an update on Hoseok's condition." He states as he straightens out his blazer that I crinkled up.

"Oh...how is he?"

"What happened to Hoseok?" Taehyung asks curiously. 

"Some students tied him to a tree and almost made him freeze to death outside." I answer and Taehyung's mouth drops.

"Are you serious. Someone needs to get them expelled." He states seriously.

Jugnkook sighs and puts his hands in his pockets. "I tried to get them suspended but there's no evidence to convict them. They found a way to dodge all the cameras and all we have to rely on is eye witness accounts that could be coerced."

"That's bologna!" I cry. "How could they be getting away with this? If they would only look at Hoseok's condition there's no way they can deny that he's being bullied." I say while waving my hands around and stomping my feet. I can actually feel all the blood rushing to my head as I struggle to control my breathing.

"Wow, Jimin. I've never seen you this passionate about helping someone." Taehyung states.

This makes me revert back into my shell as I justify that, "I just don't like seeing people get stepped on like that." 

"I'm glad that you care so much. I was actually going to visit him after school today. If you want to come just let me know. I think he'll be happy to see you." Jungkook offers and I scratch the back of my head.

I do want to go, but I'm not sure if...I'm allowed. Will it make Mr.Il mad at me.? Will he... 

"I don't think I'll be able to go. My family situation is complicated so-"

"I'll go for you." Taehyung interrupts and we both stare at him in awe.

"You will?" We say in unison.

"Yeah, why not." He smiles. "I'll let him know that you're waiting for him to get better and return." He pats my head as I scrunch my nose up.

"Thanks." 

"Great so I'll meet you after school by the front gate?"Jungkook says towards Taehyung who nods his head.

"Yeah, see you then." He waves as Jungkook walks off.  We barely take a step down the hallway when Taehyung stops abruptly. "Crap! I forgot that I had detention. My teachers going to be so pissed. I got to go! See you later!" He runs down the hallway at top speed frightening some of the girls in the hallway.

"See yeah..." I say weakly with my hand in the air. I already miss his presence as my thoughts travel to my worst nightmare. I slowly trudge down the hallway and back to my classroom. I pull out my chair and plop in it and rest my head on the table.

I hear feet walking over to me when a lollipop comes into my vision. I look up and see Yoongi hovering over me. "Take it." He mumbles as he looks out the window to avoid my eyes. 

"Thanks." I open the wrapper and place the sweet treat into my mouth. 

He takes a chair and twirls it around before sitting at my desk. "You know I have more of them if you ever want one." I just nod my head slowly as I swirl the lollipop in my mouth.

"Is this your way of opening up to me?" I grin and wiggle my eyebrows. 

He clears his throat. "These help me stay awake and I thought it might help you out a little." He mumbles. "No big deal."

"Sure, so you just did this out the kindness of your heart?"

"Yeah- wait, what are you implying?" Yoongi blushes, but his eyes droop a little before opening back up.

"Did someone get a little too excited?" I tease and Yoongi cringes at my comment. 

"No, you know what? I don't have to listen to this." He says before getting out the chair and walking back to his seat right as the bell rings. 

"Thanks for the distraction!" I yell, and laugh as Yoongi shifts in his seat trying to hide his embarrassment. My smile stays plastered on my face the rest of the day as I finish off the lollipop and think about my friends and Jin. 

I don't know what I'd do without them. 

A/N And another one! Yes, I updated again. My creative juices are flowing and I'm on a roll. There's so much I have planned, but I don't think you all are ready for it. Hehehe...Prepare yourselves is all I can say. Until next time, Deuces my Burritos.
