Why Am I Like This

Chapter 15

Jimin had thoroughly tired himself out. Friday had been tough, Jackson was in his ICT class which had kept him on edge for most of the day. Saturday had been spent at the park, the others trying to convince him that he needed a birthday weekend. Meaning they ended up going to the freight trains till early Sunday morning. They spent the rest of Sunday running round the town causing havoc till late. Yoongi walked him home like usual and promised he would see him in the morning. Jimin lay in bed again flicking through his camera roll of all the new photos, this time he didn't cry, instead he had a wide smile on his face.

Monday:

A ringing sound awoke Jimin, he moaned rolling around in his bed for his phone. Moving to click the decline button to his alarm, he was surprised to find the ringing didn't stop. What the hell. Jimin sat up, head groggy. A few seconds later he discovered the sound, he sprinted to the apartment buzzer by the door. Taking a few deep breaths he pushed the button, "Hello?"

He heard a tut on the other end, "Finally, you up now?"

Jimin furrowed his brows, "Suga?"

Jimin could hear his eye roll, "Who else? Now are you gonna let me up or let me freeze my ass off?"

Jimin giggled as he clicked the unlock button, "Come on up."

He ran back into the bedroom to collect his clothes he noticed the cigarette packet on the bedside table, quickly he pushed the pack into the top draw and sped back to the door to let Yoongi in. He took the key from where he hung them and unlocked the door. Yoongi walked in ruffling Jimin's hair as he took his seat on the couch. "You got ten minutes to get ready." Jimin stared at Yoongi, he broke out of his trance like state when Yoongi clapped his hands, "C'mon, hurry, hurry, hurry!" Jimin broke out into another wide smile before running off again. Yoongi smiled softly, shaking his head, I wish you could smile like that forever.

Jimin wore his jeans with the small rips in the knees and his black Dr Martens. Yoongi pulled him out of the house, reaching the train station just in time. As they walk through the school gate the bell rung, the rest of the group greeted them before they hurried along to their classes.

Yoongi was about to leave Jimin with Taehyung, Jimin walked ahead and Yoongi quickly reminded the latter, "You'll keep an eye on him, yeah?"

Taehyung nodded and took Yoongi's hand, "Yes, I will protect my baby son."

Yoongi yanked his hand from Taehyung's, "Stop that... but seriously, please."

Taehyung patted Yoongi's shoulder jogging slightly to catch up with Jimin, "Yes seriously, stop worrying I'll take care of him."

Yoongi was walking the corridors, he had left his class early. It was then when an arm swung around his shoulders, "Sugaaa."

Yoongi growled at the familiar voice, "What do you want Jackson?"

Jackson lightly pushed Yoongi and took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, "Thought you'd be needing some of these soon."

Yoongi pushed Jackson away harshly, "Nah, I'm good."

Jackson let out a short light laugh, "What, you stopped smoking or something?.. Oh wait, don't tell me that new kid got you to stop?"

Yoongi felt a wave of anger flow through him, how dare he talk about Jimin like that , "Stay away from him... so what if I did stop? Is it wrong to want to be healthy?"

Jackson scoffed, "Since when did you care about health? The last time I saw you, you couldn't care less if you'd died young."

I have Jimin now, "Yeah, well shit happens Jackson. In life you have two options, you can stay the scum of the earth or rise above and actually be something or someone." Yoongi said glaring at Jackson, "All you'll ever be is the scum of the earth." He briskly walked off, guaranteed he was tempted to take the cigarettes but, a promise is a promise.
