Care for me(Namjin×yoonmin)

The Cold Shoulder

Jin pov

School...not something I was looking forward to, but here I am...

I walk side by side with Namjoon as I enter the school building. The sound of students laughing and running down the halls fills my ears as we walk to the shoe lockers. I open up mine and slip my shoes off right when I notice Jimin walking inside with Yoongi.

"Ji-" He glares and turns the other way to walk to his locker. Yoongi sighs and gives me an apologetic look before following him. My hands begin to tremble as I stare at the empty space Jimin was just standing at.

"Just give him a little time." Namjoon tries to comfort, but I bite my lip and slam my locker shut as I get my inside shoes.

"He hates me." Jimin ignoring me is making me feel more guilty and it's eating away at me.

"No, he's just going through the phases. Remember, he's had it rough too." Namjoon offers me a small smile before kissing my lips lightly.

"I don't want to be patient. I want to talk to him right now. I-I want to tell him that I'm sorry and that I'm here for him." I croak.

"I know, but this is as good as it's going to get considering the situation."

I twist my mouth to the side.

"Screw the situation."

"Why did you ignore him?" Yoongi asks as he follows close behind me.

I march up the steps. "Because- I saw his face and I realized that I couldn't forgive him yet."

Yoongi grabs my hand and stops me on the top of the staircase. "We talked about this. You have to get the answers that you need and you can't do that unless you talk to him."

I frown at how right he is, but pull his hand away. "I can't face him - not yet. I need time before..." I avert my eyes as I say, "he tries to smother me with his affection and tell me how messed up everything is now."

"Is that what this is about? You don't want him to treat you like a victim?"

I play with my shirt sleeve. "Partially, I know that that's what he is going to do and then he will ask for my forgiveness." I start walking again and Yoongi has to jog to catch up to me.

"Avoidance isn't the way to handle things." He mumbles and I stop in my tracks fed up.

"You know what? You want to talk about avoidance? That's brilliant coming from the guy who doesn't even like to show his emotions because he's too scared he'll pass out."

Yoongi's face stays blank from my insult, but I know that hit him hard. I take a step back when he walks towards me, but he holds me in place. "I might not like to show my emotions because of my condition, but you know what? I've been letting myself slip more often and it's because of you."

He backs me into the wall just beside the exit door to the stairwell. "Yoongi."

"You make me want to show my emotions. I mean, how stupid would I sound if I told people you made me change if you're too busy avoiding your own brother?" He smirks as if what he said was brilliant before he lets me go and leaves me standing there frozen in place.

When I wanted Yoongi to show his emotions...I didn't mean this.

I enter the cafeteria and see Namjoon sitting with everyone except Jimin. Of course he wouldn't be here. Jimin has never been one for confrontation and I don't think he's going to start now.

I pull together all my confidence and walk over to them. As if someone hit a mute button everyone is silent. However, Namjoon comes to my rescue and pulls out a chair, but I decline.

"I just wanted to say that I know everything that you heard yesterday was intense, but I need you to know that I don't have all the answers." I pause. "But, I promise that once I know everything I will clear up all misunderstandings." They all nod their heads. "So where's Jimin?"

Everyone shrugs. "He's been avoiding everyone all day." Taehyung says and I sigh.

"I knew it would be like this. I'm going to go find him." I pivot on my feet and waste no time exiting the cafeteria. I decide to check the dance studio first. Who knows he could be there since Taehyung isn't. I walk the five minute walk to my destination and am greatly disappointed to see a couple doing everything but dancing in the room.

I tilt my head to the side as the boy lifts the girl up as she hooks her legs around his waist...How???

I shake the thoughts from my head and walk down the hallway again. Okay, well if he isn't there the only other place he could hide is on the roof. I roll my eyes at how obvious that was and start running down the hallway towards the stairs. 

It below zero degrees up there.

I curl my legs towards my body and lean against the cement wall that supports my back. At this rate I could get frostbite from staying out here, but I don't care. The numbing effect is helping lessen the emotional pain that refuses to detach itself from me.

I blow out into the air and smile weakly at the miniature cloud that forms in front of my mouth. I could get used to this numb feeling. I close my eyes and bury my head in my knees to soak it in.

"Jimin." I hold my knees tighter. "I know you hear me." I feel Jin's leg brush mine as he takes a seat next to me. "Why are out here by yourself?" He drops my winter coat on top of my head and I wiggle my head so it falls on the floor. "Come on, it's cold out here and we need to talk."

I grunt, but take the coat from off the floor and put it on. "You're really considerate for someone who murdered his parents." I mumble and Jin winces at my harsh comment.

"Yeah, I am." He puts my hood on. "You're the only one I have left and I don't want anything bad to happen to you...anymore." 

"Apparently, you're to blame for this too." I sniffle. "For what happened at Flowers of Hope." 

"I can explain everything Jimin...but first I want to make sure that you're-"

"Fine? Okay? Not thinking about how I was forced to do unimaginable things against my  will every second of the day?" I wait for Jin to reply, but he remains silent. "You have your answer."

A/N So, it's been a while my Burritos. I'm sorry for the late update I've just been so busy.
