The Silent Prince | Jikook |

Chapter 2: Sidekick

              The rain kept pouring and pouring outside. Each second Jimin kept standing by the window and secretly watching the boy sit out in the cold, made the man feel guilty. This was Jimin's inner detective in him, he didn't know who this boy could be, a killer or just his sidekick that was coming over. Whoever it was, Jimin gave himself a hard time to open the door. Since he was targeted by so many criminals, he didn't know who he could trust.

               "Ah, Jimin stop being an idiot... He looks okay. He looks harmless and he's just out there in the cold... But, if he was my sidekick, where is his luggage?" Jimin suddenly thought and this alone made him scoff and pull away from the window. "I'm not a gullible person." Jimin said and walked away from the door when suddenly, he heard the boy drop onto the wooden porch of his house. Making Jimin rush over to the window again.

              The boy was left unconscious now. Maybe the cold got to him? Jimin couldn't tell. But, the man quickly scanned his eyes along the boy's silhouette that was just laying there motionless as lightning flashed and that was the only source of light that showed a split second of the boy.

            "Fuck... I can't leave him out there... What if that crazy girl is out there killing anyone outside in a thunderstorm like this?" Jimin continued to talk to himself until he convinced himself to approach the door and finally swing it open for his peculiar guest. Jimin opened the door as the gust of wind pushed the door back, causing Jimin to flinch and instantly reach down to check on the boy if he was breathing. "Still alive..." Jimin whispered to himself before swiftly grabbing the younger by the collar of his black coat before dragging him into the house.

             There was nothing on this silent boy. He was calmly breathing, but his eyes were shut. No weapons, but no luggage at all. Yet, he didn't seem to pose a threat at all. Jimin dragged the boy inside and shut the door with all locks as he looked down to finally look at the young man. The first thing that jumped into mind, was that the boy was very attractive. He had fair and pale skin, lips as red as a ruby gem, full eyebrows hidden under his black and drenched silk hair, moles placed under his lip and perfectly tilted nose. The boy had a black coat on, black pants and timberlands on as well while his hands were hidden away under his black mittens.

             "Could he have fainted due to the cold? Did he get into shock from the cold air or fear of lightning?" Jimin thought and got down on his knees to press his index finger against his nose gently so he could feel if the boy was cold. As soon as Jimin pressed his finger onto the tip of the boy's nose, he felt that the boy was freezing. "H-He has hypothermia!" Jimin panicked as he quickly started to take off the younger's clothes and leave him down to his tank top and underwear. Completely removing all wet clothes while he picked the younger up and set him down onto the warm couch.

              Jimin desperately looked around for blankets and returned to wrap them around the younger. The man desperately found a bin of his clean blankets and dragged them out of the dryer to keep the boy warm. At this moment, he couldn't even think straight with all the alarms going off in his head. He threw wood into the fireplace and kept looking back at the guest to see if he would wake up. "F-Fuck... He's not waking up! Did I kill him?! Ugh, what's wrong with me?!" Jimin shouted as he looked around for other things to warm the boy up while they sat inside through the tough thunderstorm just roaring outside.

              "I-I don't have anything else!" Jimin complained to himself as he looked back to see that the boy was covered in so many blankets, sweaters and pillows from head to toe. The only thing that popped out was his head while his eyes were remained closed. The older then brought himself to walk in closer to the younger and sit close to him while he hugged him and tried to keep the boy warm. Jimin felt uncomfortable by just hugging this stranger close, but, he couldn't blame the fact that the boy was very attractive like a young prince that wandered out of his castle.
