The Last Boy Scout

10

Taehyung woke up and felt an arm wrapped around his shoulders. He looked over and saw Han Jihae giving him a back hug. He loved how her bare face looked without any makeup on.

Taehyung turned around and placed his large hand over Jihae's warm fingers. His heart felt warm. He smiled at Jihae, even though she was still sleeping. He felt safe being in her arms.

Taehyung didn't want to get up. He could stare at Jihae all day long and never get tired of it. She looked so beautiful even though she was wearing a simple black shirt and pajama bottoms. Taehyung brushed Jihae's hair away from her face.

He smiled. He didn't want to disturb her sleep, so he gave her a warm embrace and got out of bed. He slipped on his expensive slippers and went to shower.

After changing into a striped housecoat and red pants, Taehyung checked his phone. He had seven missed calls from Jimin and a handful of text messages from Jungkook and Namjoon.

He decided to call Jimin.

Meanwhile, Jihae woke up and was surprised to find herself in a different room. She quickly checked if she was wearing anything and was relieved when she realized she was in pajama bottoms and in Taehyung's bedroom. Jihae got up to get dressed.

(Jimin's house)

Jimin didn't get a good sleep last night. He fell asleep in his bathroom, and his face was numb because it was pressed against the bathtub.

He felt empty. Why couldn't he say anything when Jin Yung called? He didn't want her to think he was ignoring her.

Jimin's chest tightened. What if Jin Yung was cheating on him? He wouldn't know anyway, since they lived far away from each other.

He wanted to call her again, but he just couldn't.

He needed the comfort of someone. Hoseok usually cheered him up, but Jimin assumed he was in a different mood, so he shook it off.

Jimin's phone rang. He looked at the caller ID. It was Jin Yung calling. Jimin's heart skipped a beat. He stared at the hearts beside her contact name.

Jimin answered. His throat immediately became dry.

"Jin Yung-ssi?" he answered.

"Jimin..." she started to sniff. "I..."

"Yung-ssi, what is it?" Jimin paused. "Before you say anything, Jagiya, I'm sorry."

Jin Yung continued sniffing. Jimin's stomach twisted.

"Yung-ssi, last night... I-I'm sorry." He said.

"Oppa..." Jimin was surprised. She never really called him Oppa, fans usually called him that. "It's alright, Jiminnie," she sighed. "I know everything is hard for you,"

"Jagiya, are you crying? Please don't cry, I'm here for you."

"No, I'm not crying," she replied as she started to blow her nose. "I'm just....sick." She fake coughed.

"Yung-ssi, I know you're not sick. Tell me what's troubling you." Jimin didn't want her to feel this way.

"I don't want to tell you," she said quietly. "You're already so caught up in your own life, I don't want to distract you with mine."
