"eo jimin!" jimin's head snapped on the boy who had just called him.

jimin had an errand to do and it turns out that the two boys in front of him are too.

"eo jin and jeongguk!" he beamed as he tried to smile but miserably failed.

"you look like a constipated bunny, why the creepy smile?" the older snickered as the three of them decided to go together while shopping for grocery.

"umm, it-"

"you look ugly as ever, ji-mini." jeongguk teased but jimin noticed the bruises on his face.

"yah! this kid, what happened to your face?" jimin asked, letting the name calling pass.

the two boys in jimin's side stared at each other, hesitating if they should let them know.

"street fight."
"perverted act."

the two said simultaneously, earning jimin a confused look.

"what is it exactly?"

"well..." jungkook started but jin immediately cut off.

"those bruises were from me."

Jimin was utterly shocked, "fro-from you, jin? why?!"

"he just needed some lesson..."

jeongguk begged to disagree "but, jin you don't understand, it was just a misunderstanding and—"

"shut up kid. i'm still mad at you"

"but-"

"i still hate you. you asshole"

"yah! jin-hyung, i already said sorry"

the conversation was already getting heated so jimin decided to get in between them.

"wait . . . guys, chill." the boy said and knowing that he was really small compared to the two, he pushed them away from each other just a little bit.

"keep your heads cool . . . just tell me exactly what happened."

☔

"fuck, he did what?!" the three were already on their way home when jin decided to spill out the beans to jimin.

"you heard me, right? ain't gonna repeat myself" the older replied sassily on the younger who was dumbfounded.

"but. . . but is i-"

"a misunderstanding? i bet not, when i came to the scene—my baby sister was crying while this boy over here was pinning her on the freaking bed!" jin muttered, fuming as jeongguk stayed silent but the other boy was already confused as he wondered who was jin's little sister and why hasn't he seen her considering that they were long time friends.

this really sound exactly the same as chaemin's letter, must be deja vù. jimin thought.

"—and any brother seeing his sister cry would really snap" jin continued rambling.

"i know, i know. i just can't believe he can do that but, how come i didn't knew you had a little sister hyung? i never really thought you had one and why didn't i never even meet her ev—"

jimin's words were cut "shut up midget" the youngest of the three spat at jimin, his voice laced with venom.

jimin was taken a back and jin was dumbfounded of the youngest's action.

"i'm sorry but, what did you just say?" jimin asked, trying to be calm as he wanted to act like a civilized person rather than being savage. as much as he had wanted to kick the boy out, he controlled himself.

"i really hate your guts you know, midget? you're just too dense to not know jin-hyungs sister. oh. scratch that, rather than being dense, you were a fool to be precise" jungkook spoke and jimin was beyond bewildered of what he had heard. jeongguk was really getting on his nerves now.

jimin snapped as he grabbed jeongguk by his collar, "just what the fuck is your problem, jeongguk?"

"you! you ar—"

"jeongguk enough!" jin practically screamed as he stop the two from making a scene.

despite already being seperated by jin the two's eyes lingered on each other and if looks could kill, one of them might be dead right now.

"jeongguk, apologize to jimin" the two heard. jeongguk's face morphed into disgust while jimin's gaze softened as he looked at jin.

"fucking no, i'd rather die than to apologize with that bastard" jeongguk crossed his arms, determined to never give up.

"okay, i'm an easy person to talk to. unless you apologize, you're certainly not joining chaemin and i in dinner"

"fuck what?"

"the decision's final."

"no, jin-hyung don't do this to me"

"jimin would you like to come?" jin asked now facing jimin.

"what?! no!" jeongguk screamed.

"shut up kid" jin sternly spoke and jeongguk was about to cry.

"you know you can join us, jimin."

"no! you know he can't come, jin-hyung!"

"and why is that jeon?"

"he can't because . . . because ch—"

Save me, save me. I need your love before I fall

jimin's phone rang at the most heated moment, the caller id was unknown and for some reason he expected it to be minnie

"umm. excuse me for a sec."

"hello?"

Jimin? I need you, please come here at my house.

"sarah?"
