Fated Together (BTS jimin)

CHAPTER 24: sudden talk

Jennifer's POV

He looked... gorgeous

Jennifer you must stop this now..
My inner voice whispered
Shaking my head I looked up at him.
His eyes were still on me and I shivered, something was not right with his usual soft dark chocolate brown eyes..

"C-can I c-come in?"

What? Did I hear him correctly?

Something is not right..
His voice sounded unusually sore and his composure was really tensed..

"Uh..ok?" I sounded absolutely stupid. Clearing my voice I tried once again..
"Ahem.. yes come inside"

He came in too quickly and I was a bit surprised. it looked like he was just waiting for my permission to come in. I observed that he looked more relaxed now.

With soft steps he removed his black jacket along with his hat and mask and I gasped by seeing his face.

Was he crying?

"Jimin.. what happened?" There was hesitancy in my voice

"Nothing, I just want to sleep" his voice cracked and he gulped

Wait! here? He wants to sleep here?

A tear slipped from his eyes and everything in me vanished. He looked desperate,hurt and in pain. I just wanted to help him now..

"Talk to me. Maybe I can help"

He looked at me for a moment and hesitated. He looked lost..
I don't know why but I understood his feelings like I could read his mind.

"No I'm fine, just let me spend here tonight and I'll be gone by tomorrow"

I didn't ask more, he looked like he was about to burst out crying any moment..

"Ok.. uhm my parents are not here and my brother is not here either"

He raised an eyebrow

"So I guess you can sleep in my brother's bedroom for today" I looked away and pointed to Jake's bedroom. I imagined how angry my stupid brother will be, but jimin will be gone by tomorrow right?

I turned around and looked for him. As I didn't spot anyone, I returned back to the spot I last saw him. Without a word he had entered the room and I heard him locking the door. And soon after a few minutes I heard sobs.. very quiet sobs but loud enough for me to hear..

What happened? If only he would not be so arrogant and talk. my mind was a mess. It hurt me seeing him like this, why? I don't know. It hurts me that I can't do anything to comfort him, why? The answer is not with me..

Maybe because he is my friend and I care about him. Yes that maybe the most possible answer. But why did I feel like an old relative or some kind of an old friend? It feels like I met him before... yes the feeling I had on the first day I met him. It's really odd..

Clearing my mind, I stood straight and went into my room. Setting my bed, I laid down on it and curled to the side.
Jimin is just next door... jimin is just next door. Stop it

Letting out a deep breath, I turned to the side of the wall and closed my eyes..
Suddenly I heard footsteps, someone coming into my room..
I was about to turn around when

"Please don't turn around" his voice said me
I stayed in my position staring at the wall. Pulling the mattress up to my waist, I waited for whatever he was gonna say. Instead I felt someone's presence just side of me.

"Jimin what are you..."

"I..I'm scared, I'm i-i can't sleep" I figured he was crying..

"Jimin, what's wrong?" I asked but it came out really softly and slowly

"Jennie.. do you think I'm a bad guy?" He asked sniffing, his voice really soft

"No I think you're a really good person"

"Thanks.. that made me feel good" 
"Jennie, I umm..have a brother" he suddenly said a little bit more louder.

"Bwo!? Jincha?"
He had a bro?

"Haha ya and um..he is here in Korea"

"That is great!"

"That is not great"

"Oh.."

He shifted himself just a little bit closer to the bed and I stiffened.

"My brother..I can't meet him now, I can't even look at his face. I feel like a bad guy now, I feel like I made everyone unhappy only because I wasn't happy..all of those actions of mine.." he gulped and I guessed he was holding in his tears..

"Jimin..I'm really sorry. I don't know what you've done but I'm sure he'll forgive you. Families forgive eachother and are not supposed to be separated. Go meet him?"

I felt him become frozen beside me..

"JENNIE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! I..I JUST CAN'T.. NOBODY UNDERSTANDS ME!"

Slowly and carefully I slipped my hand from under me and caught hold of his hand. I didn't know what was happening with me but I slowly interwined my fingers with his and he did the same..that seemed to calm him a bit as I felt him relax again.

I silently chuckled..his hands are so small

"I'm sorry, I just don't know how to meet him again"

"No jimin I'm sorry.. I spoke without knowing the situation properly. I understand.. it's completely your wish to meet him or not"

He must have been through a lot. Maybe that's why he's taking those tablets.. maybe the memories are unbearable. It hurt me seeing him cry like a small child. It hurts too much.. and I don't even know why

"But.. why are you sharing these with me?" I slowly asked, of course he just wanted to talk with someone. But these matters were too personal and deep that it's supposed to be shared with close people but we haven't even known each other properly..

"I.. I don't know, really, I just feel comfortable talking with you and it just naturally comes out"

I smiled secretly and cleared my voice
"So um can I turn around now?"

"No.."

"Ok"

"I'll go wash my face first" he said and I waited for him to get up

"Um jennie..y-your hand"

"Ah!" During this conversation I almost forgot about our hands tightly clasped together. I quickly let go like his hand was fire or something..

I heard him giggle and I was sure i turned into a tomato. But hey.. he can't see me

Then I heard him walk into the washroom and I stood up and sat on my bed. Just after a moment he came back with water still dripping from his face..

"Jimin if you don't mind, can you please sleep downstairs?"

I feel like I won't be able to sleep tonight if he's nextdoor..

"Alright but can you um cough pass me some cough blankets and..cough"

"Are you sick?"

"No no I'm fine"

Without thinking, I went up to him and placed a hand on his forehead. Realizing how he froze under my touch, I quickly took my hand away..it was indeed hot

"Jimin! You have a fever again!"
