Amnesia's Secret (JIKOOK)

2: The Man

Jimin stared at the mirror. The mirror in the bathroom was too tall for Jimin so Jungkook put a full body mirror in the corner of the bathroom for the smaller. Jimin sat in front of the tall mirror and examined himself.

"If I fell down a staircase... How is it that only my legs are bruised and nothing else?" Jimin searched his body, no traces of cuts, dents, or scratches, just clear skin. "Maybe it's because I was asleep for four days? But if I was in a coma with almost broken legs, wouldn't Jungkook take me to a hospital?"

Jimin spent a good minute contemplating the possibilities. He thought about Jungkook. When he imagined him in his mind, he could only picture his intense gaze from when he first saw him. Shivers ran down his spine.

"It's hard to trust Jungkook! I mean, he's so mysterious. I never know what he's thinking."

Jimin's face contorted in confusion and rage, he scratched his head quickly, tousling his hair, and groaned.

"But he's the only person I have right now."

With that aside, Jimin got to how terrible he looked. His dirty blonde hair was messy and oily. His facial hair was unkept. Jimin rolled the wheels over to the sink and washed his face then he picked up a razor and shaving cream.

A lone police officer was out on duty. He sat in his car while filing through papers. He picked up a radio transceiver to call the police station.

"This is Jung Hoseok reporting in. What are our leads on case 1343?" He asked.

"Hello Hoseok," a voice responded, "All we know is that they work in small groups and often steal drugs. Casualties are almost always left behind."

"I see..." Hoseok's voice trailed off as he watched a lone man in business attire enter a forest that wasn't often used for leisurely strolls.

The officer spoke into the communicator once more, "I'm reporting that man holding a briefcase and wearing business attire just entered Crescent Forest. I'll go question him. Jung Hoseok reporting out." Hoseok left the car and followed the brunet.

The man walked quickly, by the time Hoseok entered the forest he lost view of him.

Jungkook unlocked the door and called out,

"I'm home!"

There was no response, however, Jungkook heard the faint buzz of the television. He entered the living room and saw Jimin sitting on the couch gazing at the screen. He wrapped himself in a fuzzy yellow blanket.

The taller smiled upon the cute sight, "Hello my blanket burrito."

Jimin breifly glanced at the standing man, "Hey Jungkook."

Jungkook went to sit beside the smaller. He slung an arm over Jimin's shoulder but Jimin was focused on the screen.

"11 were found dead." The announcer reported.

"How tragic." Jimin huddled closer into his blanket.
Jungkook glanced over at the smaller. He was much cleaner than this morning, not that his rugged appearance wasn't attractive but Jungkook loved his cute bare face. Jungkook stared for a bit longer than scooted closer.

"The news interests you?" Jungkook sparked up a conversation.

Jimin's gaze didn't move from the screen, "It's good to stay informed, besides the other channels were just sports and kid cartoons."

"Hey! cartoons are great!" Jungkook spoke in an offended tone.

Jimin looked at Jungkook with surprise, he snorted then laughed.

Jungkook smiled, "There's the smile that I love to see!"
Jimin's laughter slowed down, he smiled at Jungkook feeling more comfortable around him.

Their little moment was short lived as the doorbell rang.

"I wonder who that could be?" Jimin wondered.

"I'll go check." Jungkook kissed the temple of Jimin's head before getting up and answering the door.

Jungkook walked to the front door and opened it, it was a young police officer. He looked like he was in his mid-twenties. His hair was dark brown, his nose was pointed and his facial structure was long.

"Hello officer." Jungkook greeted him while stepping outside and closing the door, "Excuse me, my spouse isn't feeling too well so I don't want to be too loud."

"That's understandable. I hope your wife feels better soon." The officer nodded. Jungkook thought about correcting his statement but decided not to.

They took a little walk away from the cottage.

"I'm just here to inform you that this area might not be safe since there have been many robberies going on lately. You may want to consider relocating to a safer area in the city." The officer informed.

"I see. Thank you for the info and all of your hard work officer..." Jungkook stopped in his tracks.

Jungkook reentered the cottage.

"What was that about?" Jimin asked, still sitting on the couch.

Jungkook passed by Jimin with his hands in his pockets, Jimin's eyes followed the moving figure.

"Just a salesman! Took forever to shake him off! I'm going to the washroom."

Once Jungkook closed and locked the bathroom door, Jimin thought, "Salesmen even come out this far? Damn. Must be tough."

From the other side of the door, Jungkook took his hands out of his pockets to reveal his bloodstained hands and pocket knife.
