Factitious [Jikook]

XV: Venomous Word

Sitting on the other side of the room watching how the bodies move in syncs, how sweat run down to their bodies. Jimin can tell that they give all they've got even it just a dance practice. He only has two subject to attend to, so jungkook decided why not bring him with him to watch their dance practice and be close to his hyungs.

Clapping like a seal he shot to them his bright smile, approaching each member to hand them a towel and water.

"Thank you..." that's the words repeatedly come out in each member's mouth, they call out for a break plopping their tired body on the wooden floor.

"Ah!! My legs is shaking..." The elder panted chugging the bottled water.

"Signs of aging hyung..."

Jin glared the maknae with a pout, hitting the other arms playfully, "aish! Hyung stop acting like a child for once." He playfully groused, gaining another hit but now it's a smack at the back of his head. He groaned rubbing it while jimin can't help but giggled at the boy's silliness. Jungkook smile subconsciously staring at the younger with glistening eyes, little they didn't know there was someone watching them with a fiery eyes.

"I'll just get another drink...do you want something sweet cheeks?" jungkook said made the younger blush madly and the others cringed.

"Oh my god! Oh my god! I'm starting hearing and seeing things..."

Jungkook rolled his eyes at his hyung overacting, "you look like an idiot, hyung..." He scoffed kissing jimin's forehead before leaving the room to get another drink for him and for his baby, the others squeals like teenage girl at the scene.

"Oh! I will get a drink too! And food anyone wants to accompany me?" Jin asks while the other ignore him and do their things. Jimin was about to rise his hand but taehyung stop him and whispered something made the younger frown.

"No one wants?!"

With that jin leave the room while stomping his feet like a child.

"So you and jungkook is official now?" taehyung begin but his gaze is in the mirror. Jimin just nodded shyly blushing at the older's question.

"Don't you think it's to fast? You barely know him..." Taehyung bit his lip. Jimin stared at him for a while when he open his mouth.

"Yeah, I think it's to fast... But you're wrong --" taehyung knotted his brows at the boy infront of him.

"Yeah...we knew each other for what? A month? But it doesn't mean I barely know him." He look straight into taehyung's and taehyung swear he can lost at the younger intimidating yet cute fazely gaze.

"Oh, I see ... So you know about his past? I mean his dirty game?"

Taehyung fires mentally smirking, but soon frown at the younger answer. "Yes... He confessed how evil he was before... "

Another 'oh' leave his mouth, but he's fuming inside. "You know about my best friend too? And how she left this world?" Taehyung is full of determination to ruin jungkook in the younger's eyes. But jimin answer shock him again.

"Yeah..." he the smaller bit his lip, and think it was the turning point for jimin to hate jungkook. He can feel the younger anxiety well in his point of view.

"...and all of it is from the past... Not only jungkook has that kind of past each of us has it...but -- " jimin look straight to taehyung's eyes. And just by staring back at jimin's brown eyes that full of emotion, he slowly drowning into it.

"No one can move further if you can't let go... It's better to let go and move on... than to live with it forever, it just make you a horrible person. " jimin words hit him like a truck like each and every word he say is about him. Its like a venomous words that paralyzed him, a venom that awake his sleeping feeling.

"Just like jungkook at first he doesn't want to tell me...because he's afraid, he's scared that I might hate him, leave him on what he did -- he may look strong and manly but deep inside he is still a child that yearning for love and affection for who he really is." his eyes widen at the electricity run through his body when jimin hold him.

He's there but he felt so lost in the younger's eyes, he can feel his heart thump uncontrollably. Until jimin pull up a cute little smile that warms his cold heart. Glancing at their hands, he smile unconsciously.

Small... warm and comforting...

“jin-hyung was right... You're one of a kind.”
