BTS One Shots (boyxboy)

Butterfly. Jikook.

trigger warning: selfharm and depression.

Jungkook walked into his bedroom, and Jimin was laying there, his eyes closed and his body flat against the mattress. ''Jiminnie?'' A response didn't come, so Jungkook turned back around and walked out.

This usually happened. Jungkook would get ready for work and Jimin would stay in bed, not having the energy to get up at all. Some days Jimin would get up and have the energy to do things, but Jungkook guessed it was one of those days again where Jimin's dark side took over.

Jungkook walked down the stairs and quickly wrote a note for Jimin, leaving it on the kitchen counter. Jungkook walked through the hallway and grabbed his jacket, opening the front door and leaving the house.

Some people might say that he should've stayed with Jimin and comforted the older, but Jungkook knew better than that. The last time he stayed home Jimin got mad at him for taking off of work for him and he cried for hours. Jungkook knew Jimin needed some time alone and he was planning on doing something cute for Jimin when he got home.

It was hard for Jungkook, having someone so unstable in his life. But, he couldn't imagine what Jimin was going through, so he tried not to think about it. He was there when Jimin needed him and tried to give him as much space as possible. He didn't want to lose his soulmate.

Jungkook made his way across the street and opened the tattoo shop their door, walking in. ''Morning boss!'' Namjoon said from the back of the store. He was continuing the back piece he started a week ago on one of their best friends and co-workers, Min Yoongi. ''Yo Jungkook-si.'' Yoongi greeted, and Jungkook nodded.

Jungkook opened the tattoo shop when he was twenty one. Having no college degree and being a drop out of high school, tattooing really saved him. The store was doing great, people usually came back or recommended them to other people. Since tattooing became legal in South Korea two years ago, the store was doing even better than before.

Jungkook himself was covered in tattoo's, his arms were littered with the ink drawings, his torso almost full and his neck adorned a beautiful design. He only let his friends tattoo him, them the only people he really trusted. ''what's up boss?'' Jungkook shrugged. He sat down behind the drawing table, opening one of the dozens of binders with designs.

''not much.'' Namjoon nodded at that answer, ''so Jimin is having an off day again?'' Jungkook smiled softly and shook his head, his friends knew him too well. ''yup.'' He answered. He opened the binder and searched for a particular design, smiling when he found it. This would prove useful.

''I wish I could do something about it. I hate seeing him like this.'' Jungkook continued, and Yoongi mentioned for Namjoon to stop for a second. Namjoon put down the ink gun and relaxed in his seat. ''depression isn't something that can be helped, Jungkook. Believe me.'' Yoongi said, and Jungkook nodded at that. ''god I know.''

The day was slow. Customers came in, tattoos were set and jokes were made. Just before closing time, Jungkook texted Jimin.

To: love of my life Jiminie:

Hey babe.. are you up?

After a few minutes of waiting, Jungkook heard his phone go off. He put down the cloth he was using to clean the desk, and grabbed his phone.

From: the love of my life Jiminie:

I'm up. Miss you.

To: the love of my life Jiminie:

Miss you too babe. Do you have the energy to come over for a bit?

Jimin replied to that with a smiling emoji, so Jungkook guessed he would. ''don't clean my ink gun, yet.'' He told Namjoon, who was busy cleaning them up. 'but, we're closing?'' Yoongi asked, and Jungkook nodded. ''I know.'' He smiled, and Namjoon got the hint.

''he's going to tattoo Jimin-si.'' Yoongi gasped, ''would he let you do that?'' he asked, and Jungkook shrugged. ''he trusts me, so.'' Just after he had said that, two people walked into the store. Jungkook turned his head and smiled as he saw Hoseok and Jimin walk in.

Hoseok greeted them and went over to Yoongi, kissing his cheek. Jungkook engulfed Jimin in a hug and studied him. The older was wearing a pair of sweatpants with one of Jungkook's sweaters, and he was drowning in it. Jungkook loved him like that.

Everyone in the store knew what Jimin had done to his wrists, so Jungkook eyes Jimin's arms and Jimin sighed. The older cautiously rolled up his sleeves, displaying his scars. Jungkook didn't see any fresh ones, and he sighed thankfully. ''I'm proud of you.'' He whispered, hugging Jimin again, this time kissing top of the older his head.

''why did you ask me to come?'' Jimin's voice as groggy, and they all couldn't blame him. ''can you sit down on that chair?'' Jungkook pointed at his usual tattooing chair, and Jimin his eyes widened. ''you're finally going to tattoo me?'' Jimin got a small smile on his face. Jungkook nodded, and Jimin was quick to sit down on the chair.

Jungkook was always so against tattooing the older boy. He had such soft skin, it seemed like the skin would break if you even touched it the wrong way. He didn't want to ruin the older his skin, but, he came up with something and wanted to help Jimin.

''I have a nice design, but I need you to be blindfolded.'' Jimin frowned, ''just so I can't see the design?'' Jungkook nodded, ''I trust you.'' Jimin said, and Jungkook clapped in his hands, proud.

''you won't regret it.''

-

It took nearly three hours for Jungkook to be done, and everyone stayed to see what Jungkook was inking into Jimin his skin. After the three hours, Jimin his face was stained with tears of joy and pain, and Jungkook caressed them with his hands. ''you can take off the blindfolds now.''

Jimin was quite as he examined his wrists. Two beautiful butterflies adorned his wrists, right across his scars. It was as if the butterflies were protecting his wrists. ''butterfly effect.'' Jungkook said. ''usually, people draw butterflies on the person who's hurting themselves their wrists and they can't hurt themselves because they'll kill the loved one their butterflies. But, those butterflies fade. I wanted to give you permanent ones, because I want to keep you save for eternity.''

Jimin his eyes were watering again, and so were Jungkook's. ''they're beautiful.'' Jungkook sighed in relief, a smile on his face. ''I'm glad you like them, Jiminie.''
