A Vampires Mate (JiKook)

Chapter 4

Hoseok turned around as Jimin got into the bath. He sat cross-legged on the floor with his back to the bath as Jimin washed. The two boys were mostly silent until Jimin cleared his throat,

"Have you told Yoongi-Hyung what happens when..."

"No, I haven't," Hoseok said quickly, "And let's hope I never have to"

Jimin shook his head even though Hoseok couldn't see him, "Come on Hobi-Hyung... you saw Jungkook's reaction. If that doesn't confirm it is going to happen then I don't know what will"

Hoseok squeezed his eyes shut at the thought, "Please don't think like that Jimin..."

"What else am I meant to do!" Jimin suddenly shouted, "I have to accept that I probably won't even be around for the next comeback"

"You don't have to accept it because it isn't going to happen!" Hoseok shouted back.

"But it is!" Jimin stated, "Face it Hobi-Hyung, it is my fault. I've caused my own demise and you all have to live with it"

Hoseok shook his head as a stray tear fell. He tried to hold back, but eventually gave up and let the flood gates open. He wrapped his arms around himself as he stood up and cried. Jimin looked at his Hyung's back as it shook from the force of his sobs and tried to not to tear up himself. He didn't mean to upset him. Hoseok grabbed him a towel and threw it in Jimin's general direction, not being able to see through his tears.

Namjoon and Seokjin were informed of what happened when they finally got up, somehow having slept through all the noise. They looked at Jimin sadly while Hoseok explained the situation and Jimin sat looking down at his hands. They were surprised at Jungkook's actions and even though they understood he was angry, didn't think it was the right way to handle the situation. They told the Maknae exactly that and the youngest nodded and apologized.

When Jungkook had retreated to his room and Namjoon, along with Seokjin, Yoongi and Hoseok, went to the kitchen, Jimin sighed and laid down on the couch. Taehyung looked at him for a moment before pulling the fluffy blanket off the back of the sofa and laying down next to the smaller boy. He pulled Jimin into his arms and draped the blanket over them both; the two of them soon falling into a peaceful slumber.
