Will we ever be ok?

Chapter 9

Today was the day of the baby shower and Jimin was bouncing around, thriving with energy. He was so excited to finally be able to see all his friends again, it been so long and he missed everyone of them terribly. But as much as he was excited, he was also just as worried. The worry underlay the happiness, but it was still there right in the forefront of his mind. He was worried that something would happen when he saw his hyungs. Maybe Taehyung had told them all about what Jungkook had done and this was some sort of set up? Maybe Jimin would have a breakdown in front of them and end up worrying them all and angering Jungkook? Maybe the baby would actually come early? There were so many "maybes" running through his head at any given moment that he almost felt nauseated.

"Jimin, you ready to go?" Jungkook asked from outside the bathroom door. Jimin looked at himself in the mirror one more time taking in his appearance. He was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans with a couple of holes in them near the knees, along with a blue short-sleeved maternity shirt. He had applied a light amount of makeup to his face and had brushed his hair so it didn't look messy.

"Yea," Jimin responded as he turned and opened the door. He looked up at Jungkook who was right in front of the door, blocking the way out. Jungkook stared down at him for a moment before wrapping his arms around Jimin and leaning down to kiss him.

"You look really beautiful today," Jungkook said once he pulled away, his fingers rubbing circles against Jimin's hips.

"Thank you," Jimin said looking down.

"Well, it's time to go I suppose. Remember, this was supposed to be a surprise baby shower, so act surprised when we see them," Jungkook reminded and Jimin nodded. Jungkook took ahold of his hand and then pulled him along towards the front door. Making sure to block Jimin's view of the padlock, Jungkook input the code and then opened the door. He led Jimin towards the elevator since he didn't want Jimin to be walking down seven flights of stairs. Once they'd reached the ground floor, Jungkook led the way to the parking garage. When they reached Jungkook's car, he opened the passenger's side and helped Jimin in before closing the door and going to the driver's side.

Once the two of them had their seatbelts on, Jungkook backed out of the parking spot and then began to drive them to the location of where the baby shower was supposed to happen. As Jungkook drove, Jimin couldn't help but remember the first time Jungkook had taken him outside after having basically kidnapped him. That day had been a tragedy and Jimin wouldn't ever forget it.

It had been about two weeks after Jungkook had moved them to the new flat in Busan to get away from Jin hyung. In those two weeks, Jimin had been the perfect doll for Jungkook and as a reward, Jungkook had decided to take him outside to go shopping together at the mall.

"Jimin, since you've been so well-behaved lately, I want to take you out. Let's have a small date at the mall? We can go to all your favorite stores and you can even buy anything you want, ok?" Jungkook asked Jimin around noon on a Saturday morning. Jimin had been surprised at first but he'd quickly nodded, thinking this might be a chance to escape.

"Good. But before that, let me list some rules you'll follow while we're out. First, you are not to leave my side. Not even for a moment. Second, if anyone tries to talk to you, you should pretend to be mute or just let me talk to them. I don't want you saying anything to anyone if you can avoid it. And third, don't act up. Don't try to be smart. You know what would make me angry so I suggest you don't do those things. You've been doing so good lately, just keep it up, and we'll have no problems. Understand?" Jungkook questioned, his stare harsh and absolute.

"I-I understand," Jimin stuttered out quietly while nodding. Jungkook gave him a small smile and then hugged him.

"That's my good Jimin," Jungkook whispered as he pet Jimin's hair, Jimin did his best not to flinch or try and move away.
