[JIKOOK AU] Jimin hires Jungkook to take photos of his tattoo shop, but what happens when the bunny boy gets a little too close for comfort? Will Jimin let his heart beat again? Will Jungkook be able to trust this dark brooding man?
Jimin was on cloud nine texting with the young boy. All day Friday was spent checking his phone every 5 minutes to see if Jungkook had replied. Jimin had to punch Hobi a couple times for laughing at him during the day. Back and forth, playing 50 questions. He found out that Jungkook lived with his older brother, who was a music producer. And that he loved banana milk. And that he would often spend late hours playing video games or watching anime. At first, Jungkook was really shy, but soon he became animated and now calling him 'Jimin-ssi'. He could only chuckle at him. Jimin found him utterly adorable.
But a part of him was scared. He was scared of being in another relationship. His last one started out the same; feelings hit hard and the two loved talking, texting. They couldn't be a part for long. But Jimin wasn't enough for him. He caught him cheating and broke up immediately. It destroyed him and his trust in others. Jimin had given his all and when he was gone, for real, he was lost. What hurts him the most was that he didn't stay and fight for him. He didn't make excuses or beg to be forgiven. He simply just left. It made Jimin feel worthless. Someone not worthy of even fighting for.
He wants to trust Jungkook so bad, but somewhere in the back of his mind he didn't feel worthy of him and would make him leave too.

Jungkook smiles at his phone as he sends that last message. He thinks about the weird 2 days it has been as he walks the last stretch to the shop. He is now dating the man he's had the fattest crush on. A mysterious, brooding, gorgeous man that shows his cute side every once in a while. He has noticed how more animated Jimin is while texting, calling him babe and adding emojis, it even makes Jungkook warm up faster and open up. Just a couple of days ago Jungkook was still so shy around Jimin. Now he couldn't stop smiling because of his boyfriend. He blushes at the thought. Boyfriend. He giggles to himself and skips the last couple of steps to the shop. He is so preoccupied with his own thoughts that he doesn't notice that Jimin is still in the parking lot.
He freezes. He can't believe his eyes. Jimin is with someone else. He's about the same height but had black hair. The other man has his arms wrapped around Jimin's neck and they're kissing.
Jungkook tears his eyes away. He can't believe what he saw. Jimin is kissing someone else. He's scared to look again to confirm. Tears are threatening to overtake him. Jungkook runs.
He runs down the street and around the corner, finding an empty wall to cry against. Tears now streaming down his face with a vengeance and his throat threatened to close in on itself. He can't breathe. How stupid, he thought. Jimin is just playing with him. Of course, he didn't feel the same way. He is just a kid and Jimin is in another league. I was just a toy to waste time and take care of. Jungkook laughed heartless at that thought. Just yesterday Jimin had said he liked taking care of him, like a doll. His thoughts are spiraling and anxiety is crashing. He can't control it, so he doesn't. He cries in the alley for hours.
Jimin is smiling at the text message from Jungkook when someone approaches him. He assumes it is Hobi, not looking up until they are close. Too close. He startles when they pull him in for a kiss. It takes Jimin a couple of seconds to register who it is. Yoongi. Immediately he pushes him off and wipes his face. His rage is growing just looking at him.
"I missed you baby!" Yoongi tries to hug him again, earning a hard shove.
"Stay the fuck away from me," Jimin leaves towards the shop wanting to get away from him as fast as possible.
"Ahhhhh don't be like that babe," Yoongi whines as he pulls on his arms. "You loved our kisses, I remember you couldn't get enough," he winks.
"Fuck off," he shakes out of Yoongi's grip.
"The fuck are you doing here," Hobi comes through the door ready to defend Jimin.
"None of your business, ass-wipe," Yoongi tugs at Jimin again. "Babe lets go over to your place. I stretched for you," this time whispering into Jimin's ear.
"I'm serious. If you touch me again I will beat you till your bleeding out your ass." Jimin storms into the shop. Luckily Yoongi doesn't follow or Hobi stops him, Jimin doesn't care which, as long as he stays the fuck away.
He slams his fists down on his workstation. He's boiling with rage, he was ready to ripe Yoongi's head off for kissing him. The shop is dead quiet letting the boss vent his anger in silence. Eventually, Hobi comes behind him.
"You good?
"Not really. FUCK!" Jimin hits the table again. Hobi grabs his hand and pulls him into the back room for privacy.
"Let it out,"
"Like WHAT THE FUCK? Where does he even come from? What a piece of shit! And after how long? It's been years so why the fuck is he here? And trying to get me back? Right, when I found someone I really fucking like. FUCK HIM." Hobi just lets him vent, until he's calmed.
"You better?"
"Yeah, a little. Shit. Jungkook will be here soon. Should I tell him? No, right? I don't want to worry him about something that doesn't exist. God, I just want Yoongi out of my life! But maybe I should tell Jungkook, that way I'm honest about everything, ya know? Fuck. I don't know anymore." Jimin hands his head in his hands. Hobi runs Jimin's back.
"Fuck bruh. I don't know either. This shit is fucked up. But I'd say tell him when you have the chance."
"I should. Where is he? He should've been here by now."
