He Calls Me Daddy

Chapter Four

Jungkook's POV

*one hour before the performance*

                              •••

Jimin didn't come back to the room last night. Even if he did, he left again before I woke up. I haven't had a chance to talk to him today. Not with everyone else around preparing for the show. I don't know what I would say to him anyway. I'd probably ask if he was okay. Even though he was the one acting like a jerk. There has to be some reason.

I'm kind of getting the feeling he's ignoring me. Sure I can't talk to him with everyone else here but he hasn't even looked me in the eyes. Or even acknowledged my presence.

I thought about the night before. I didn't do anything wrong. Or anything different from normal. It couldn't be my fault Jimin was acting this way.

He's standing with Yoongi. I don't know what they're talking about, but they're laughing. Yoongi must've said something funny because Jimin leans forward and puts his hand and then his forehead on Yoongi's shoulder in an exaggerated laugh. Then Yoongi does it. The thing that makes my chest burn with anger and jealousy. He takes Jimin's chin in his fingers and pulls him up to look at him. Then they both laugh. What the fuck was so fucking funny?!

Suddenly Jimin's expression changes. He sobers up from the joke as Yoongi asks him something. Jimin hangs his head and Yoongi walks away.

Just then, Jimin turns to me and walks my way, staring at his feet. "Jungkook?"
"Hm?" I say, not wasting time or effort with being polite. "I just—" he paused. He lifts his head up to look at me. But I can't look back at him. Him looking at me that way just makes me want to put my head down. As much as I want him to talk to me. I don't want to see his face.

"I just want to say sorry for last night. I was being kind of a dick"

I said nothing.

"I feel bad about not taking care of you afterwords and just leaving. It was a real dick move. So I'm sorry and I hope you can accept my apology."

That seemed very formal. I wasn't sure how to respond. I didn't really forgive him. But that's what he was asking for. Forgiveness. And I'd rather forgive him than lose him.

"Okay" I mumble. I'm still not looking at him.

He doesn't say anything more. He doesn't hug me or say 'Yay Kookie everything is normal now!' He just utters a somber "okay" and walks away.

What the hell was that? That wasn't a sincere apology. Not at all! Why did I accept it. Everything is off. 
I have to leave. And why the fuck did he say this to me right after laughing with that dog with two dicks Suga. These thoughts are giving me a headache.

"I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be right back." I say to Jin, just so that no one worries I'm missing.

                               •••

I go to the bathroom and splash some water one my face. My head is pounding.
I look up at my face in the mirror and behind me I see Jimin walk into the bathroom. "Oh sorry Jungkook. I didn't know you were in here."

Does that mean he was avoiding me? Does he know that I know his apology was insincere? I have to ask. I have him here with no one else around so I have to ask.

"Hyung?"

"Yeah?" He says, looking up from his feet again. He's gained a new habit of always looking down.

"I see the way he looks at you."

Jimin didn't answer. But I could see in his eyes, and in the way he opened his mouth then closed it again deciding not to speak, that he knew exactly who I meant.

"Do you want him?"

"Maybe."

"I knew it."

Jimin's POV

Jungkook ran out of the bathroom before I could say anything else. I know he doesn't want to see me. So I wait a good five minutes before opening the door.

When I open it I see Yoongi leaning against the wall facing the door..waiting for me. "He didn't take it well then?"

I shake my head. I don't tell him that I didn't actual tell Jungkook we were through. In fact, I didn't even give a definite answer. I apologized and then said that maybe I wanted someone else. Maybe. Why didn't I just say yes. I'll have to make it up to him.

"Jiminie?"

"Yes Hyung?"

"With me tonight yeah? I'll see if I can't find us a room for just the two of us."

Jimin nodded.

"Do I have to correct you every time baby boy?"

"No sir. I'll learn sir"

Yoongi smiled.

"Good."
