D-Day II Yoonmin

16

The cold breeze of the early morning skinned the surface of a young pale boy. The sun was still in it's struggle of deciding whether or not it was too early to rise. Stars were starting to disappear yet some waited around for the single body to go along with them. Even the moon kept the sun away for it too wondered what would be of the being that rested on the ground.

Shaking of that lifeless body was the only thing that caused a single stir in the seventeen year old boy. He slowly opened his dry eyes, the lids above them cried in pain from the stiffness. Jimin moved his eyesight slowly until he found what blocked the breeze from hitting him.

"Jihyun?"

The fifteen year old boy exhaled loudly, a sigh a relieve. "Hey..."

Jimin inhaled the frigid air, no longer was it so difficult to inhale. With the help of the younger boy, he was pushed up against the wall. His sight was filled with a vague outline of scraps of metal and unwanted items, he was in the junkyard. Jihyun took hold of his hand, he squeezed it tightly for a second.

"Hyung I can't be here, please get up so we can leave."

Jihyun expression was of concern and of a beggar. Jimin could see him trembling past him thick sweater, it made him wonder why he didn't. Maybe it was the null feeling within him that prevented him to care what the physical feelings were. The memories of the what happened before he woke up played in his mind.

"Please Hyung." Jihyun whispered in the silent night. "We need to get back home before the sun comes up."

Jimin nodded his aching head. With the little efforts he had in his body, he pushed himself against the wall and raised his weak body. His brother was there to hold him up as he slowly moved his feet forward. They spoke no words as they made their way to the fences that served as an entrance but as their exit at the moment.

"How did you-"

"Hush." Jihyun interrupted his brother. "Jungkook told me where you were."

The boy questioned no more, not like he couldn't anyway. The movement of his jaw hurt, it was sore. His mouth was dry, his throat ached just like the rest of his body. He pushed aside everything until they were out in the main part of the town, Jihyun called about a taxi to take them back home. As he sat in the backseat Jimin could help but break out into sobs.

Everything hurt, his body and soul.

No more did he want to feel nor think, he wanted non of it. Thoughts he wished were non-existent, he wanted non of them as much as he wished feelings weren't real. All Jimin really desired as he cried was to go into a sleep in which he forgot everything. The feeling of betray and heart break was too much for him to handle all that once.

"We're here."

Jimin got out of the car first, he waited for his brother. As Jihyun paid the man who had dropped them off a few houses away from their own, he looked up into the sky. Finally the sun was coming up, showing hints of its appearance. The moon was fading into it's own shadow, something Jimin wished he could do too.

"Aunt Jiae is a heavy sleeper, especially with the pregnancy." Jihyun wrapped his brother's arm around his own neck to support him upwards. "Getting in won't be hard."

"I don't care." Jimin muttered.

He really didn't, the very last thing he cared about was his Aunt or her obnoxious children. Right now all that was on the hurt boy's mind was his bed and sinking into it so deeply no one could ever find him. His brother didn't seemed to have understood that for when they got into the house, he forced him into a shower.

"Don't make me come in there!" He yelled at his elder, not caring who heard.

While the hot water ran down the seventeen year old's body, he felt felt his muscles relaxed. The warmth was one he craved yet he didn't know from who for the only person he would usually want it from was the very last he wished to see. No matter what, he couldn't come up with a solution to comfort himself nor the pain in his body. And so Jimin removed himself from the shower then wore the clothes his brother laid out for him. Once he stepped out he was met with the sight of his brother coming up the stairs, a tray at hand.

"I'm not hungry." Jimin muttered before slugging into his room. Seconds later his brother walked in.

"I don't care." He set the tray down on the nightstand then pushed his way into a spot on the mattress. Jihyun took hold of the single mug on the tray and held it to his brother's pouting lips. Jimin watched the steam that emitted from the cup, it reminded him of smoke which triggered more memories he didn't want.

"No."

"Yes." Jihyun pushed the corner of the cup to his brother's lips. "You either open your mouth or I will."

"I don't want it, just go away Jihyun."

A loud sigh was heard from the youngest. He said nothing and did nothing as he watched his older brother press his back against the mattress to turn away from him. Jihyun set down the cup of tea back on the tray, he decided perhaps it was too hot to consume yet. He took hold of the blanket near his foot and stretched it out before laying it on his brother's trembling body. Once the elder was nicely tucked in, he laid on his side and wrapped an arm around him.

"Jungkook told me what happened." Jihyun whispered. "I'm sorry."

"I-It hurts...so much."

Jimin sniffed loudly, his whimpers were all that were heard in the room. He laid on his side, looking to his window thinking of all the times he looked out it feeling so happy because of the people who had lied to him. The memories only brought more pain, he just couldn't take it anymore. The constant sharp stings in his heart were one he could not stop, no matter what he could think of trying. However they weren't so frequent all the sudden, Jimin wasn't sure why until his attention was brought to the single hand that stroked his arm. Then felt it, him.

Jihyun was there to ease the pain. The younger boy was rubbing his hand against his arm, his head pressed against the one of his brother's. He didn't to say anything for Jimin to feel himself easing away from the stings and aches.
It was then that he realized something, he didn't need no lover to make him feel better.

He had his brother.
