Reflection | YOONMIN

Chapter 16

I just want to start out by saying thank you to all my readers and for giving this story so much love just within the first few chapters. I couldn't be more happier that people are enjoying it because quite honestly, I was a little nervous to post this story to begin with because of the topic but I'm so happy I did and that people like it so much. Thank you so much, again. And I'm soooo sorry this chapter is a little late, but here ya go! Enjoy :)

Jimin woke up to the blaring noise of his alarm clock feeling like shit.

Another awful night of sleep. He wondered if he would ever get a good night's sleep again because feeling like this is just terrible.

He reached over to his bedside table and shut his alarm off, looking up at the ceiling for a few seconds.

Even though he felt like shit, he managed to crack a little smile to himself remembering the conversation he and Yoongi had yesterday. He was really starting to grow a liking towards Yoongi. He was getting more comfortable around him. He told him stuff that he would only tell Jungkook and his brother. Not all of it, but enough so he knew what was going on. He was grateful he felt comfortable enough to talk to him and that he genuinely wanted to listen.
As much as he liked Yoongi, Jimin highly doubted that he could fill the space of Taehyung. Even if Jimin had the kind of relationship with Yoongi he could only dream of, literally, he couldn't come close to Taehyung. Yeah Taehyung hurt him, hurt him a lot, but that didn't mean he didn't love him. He always would, even if he didn't want to. 

He threw the covers off of him and stripped of his underwear to take a shower. 

He had gotten accustomed to take two showers almost everyday. One in the morning if he had time, and one at night. There was no reason to take more than one, but it made him feel cleaner. 

After he finished taking a nice, hot, relaxing shower, he checked his phone. 

He was looking through the notifications and his heart stopped the second he saw that one name, Taehyung. 

Ignoring every other notification he had received, he opened Taehyung's first. He sat down on his bed and couldn't open the messages quick enough.

He texted him at 3:26AM this morning. Jimin had been asleep for hours by then. 

T: Hey. Just want to make sure you're doing okay. If you want me to leave you alone, I will. But just know I'm thinking about you

And just like that, all his logical thinking had completely disappeared. When it comes to Taehyung, it's as if he makes Jimin forget about everything else going on in the world. And he was ready to forget everything in the world just for Taehyung. 

With trembling fingers, he wrote back, not giving any time to himself to think about the situation.

J: Hey. I'm okay

He should tell him to leave him alone. He shouldn't have even texted him back, to be honest. He should've ignored it. But he didn't. Instead, he sent another message immediately after that.

J: Are you busy today?

This was wrong. This is not supposed to happen. The other day was supposed to be the last time they would talk to each other and see each other. Jimin was so easily manipulated by him. 

Taehyung wasn't a manipulating or controlling person, but Jimin was easily impressionable. And vulnerable. All of which Taehyung knew, though.

T: For you? Not at all
