CHAPTER 15

---

there were only few things that jimin could so eloquently do when a breathtakingly sleeping beauty laid out in front of him.

even with how much of a sly and shameless fox he was sometimes, he was left agape with the adorable sight. it felt like there were butterflies inside his freaking stomach that created the urge for him to disembowel whatever messing with his body right now. it was apprehensive with how fast his heart beat just to see a rosy plump lips, golden hair splayed around the head like a halo, sickly pale skin, and long eyelashes--he actually just came to a realisation that taehyung debatably looked more like snow white than sleeping beauty, holy fucking apple! jimin clapped for himself in victory inwardly but soon straightened himself when he recalled it was totally not the time to think such nonsense like that.

there was an indiscernible feelings when he found that he wasn't the first to visit taehyung. at first it was pure madness then it turned frivolous as soon as he saw taehyung's face, quickly his brain short-circuited and another feelings barged in trough. the ravishing sight of the sleeping male was blooming a smile on his face and brightening his day despite how bad had a few days been passed. he was overwhelmed with happiness to finally see the younger, but at last, a new feeling started to eat his heart when he knew someone before him had seen taehyung in this state. the rage was multiplied that it permeated within any bit of his cells, boy had jimin never felt like that before. the closest thing he felt that was when he was still a child and broke his little brother's scooter so his dad bought his little brother a new one whilst he got nothing except scoldings and could only see his brother happily played by himself. easily told, it was jealousy what he felt that long time. but was it that too now? or was it not?

he pulled a chair and sat next to taehyung, staring closely to the younger. the view was really intoxicating but jimin forced his eyes to focus on other details such as how big taehyung's eye bags were, how sickly pale he was, how his cheeks looked a bit sunken, how skinny he was, and how sick taehyung had actually looked.

there was suspenseful presenting inside his jumbled mess of feelings. had he not been noticing this? had he been pontificating himself about taehyung's condition all along? sure, he realised how taehyung had been distanced from others aside jeongguk, that it actually pissed him off to no end and blamed taehyung. but he couldn't lie to himself when all this time the ones that he had seen from taehyung was how annoying the younger hiding his secrets from him and how close his friendship with jeongguk. he hadn't taken notice how bad taehyung dealt with the said secrets and what he did that time in the practice room now sounded so fucking wrong and unforgivable. taehyung's expressions and motives had been fathomless these few days and if jimin were not taehyung's best friend he wouldn't notice this at all. taehyung seemed to be able to hide easily from his suspicion, what had happened to him? what secrets had he been holding? jimin was dead curious.

yet as much as he wanted to know, he felt agitated to think what taehyung would do to him when he wake up later. would he be mad at jimin for scaring him? would he shut jimin up? would he ignore jimin for the rest of his life? jimin was scared shitless, he didn't know what what would he do if the younger decided to erase his existence from his life.
