Save Me (JiKook)

Twelve

Jimin woke up earlier than Jungkook the next morning. He just laid still at first and tried to sleep again, but it wasn't working.

He figured he'd play around on his phone for a little bit, then get up and shower. Hopefully Jungkook would still be asleep after that and he could come back and lay with him again.

It was a nice thought. Something he wanted. Sort of domestic. He smiled and rolled to his back. Instead of grabbing his phone he just laid there, staring at the ceiling and thinking of cute scenarios he and Jungkook could have.

Making breakfast together, watching TV, cuddling under a big blanket. Maybe they could go out on dates later on and go to arcades and diners and go on picnics or some romantic crap like that.

He almost laughed, but stopped himself. He turned to look at Jungkook, who was fast asleep with his back turned.

"Someday," he whispered, rolling to his side and staring at the younger's shoulders. One day, I'll be prepared for you to sweep me off my feet.

Jimin snuck back into the room after his shower and went about getting dressed rather slowly. He opened the closet slowly and pulled drawer out slowly. He didn't want to make a single sound that could compromise Jungkook's sleeping position.

Jung was curled up in a ball in the center of the bed. At first, Jimin pouted because Jungkook was taking all the space. But then, he realized it was the perfect opportunity for him to be the big spoon!

He giggled to himself as he pulled on one of Jungkook's black shirts and slowly made his way to the bed.

He prayed that he wouldn't wake Jungkook as he lowered himself to the mattress and got comfy under the sheets.

He sighed happily when he was settled, then carefully snaked his arm around Jungkook's waist.

The smaller male grinned and tucked himself snuggly against Jungkook's back, nuzzling his shoulder before he settled.

Apparently, Jimin fell asleep again, and once he woke up this time he was alone.

He pouted and ran his hand over the sheets. He didn't like that they were cold. It meant Jungkook had been gone for a while.

He laid still for a little bit and didn't hear the shower, so he decided to get up and go look for him in the kitchen.

Once he opened the bedroom door, though, he paused at a familiar voice.

"-didn't know things had gotten so bad."

Jin. His brother. He heard Seokjin sobbing. It was so rare he thought he was dreaming. But it was too damn cold for this to be a dream. No way he was bundled under the covers wrapped around Jungkook.

He ventured further into the apartment and surprisingly found Seokjin on the couch with Jungkook.

Jungkook had a hand on Jin's back as he cried, trying in his introverted way to sooth him.

"Hyung," he called out, not thinking at all that he would interrupt the moment.

Jin quickly turned around and his face scrunched up further as he started wailing.

Jimin rushed towards the couch, only giving his brother enough time to stand up before he crashed into him. He hugged him like his life depended on it.

Seokjin's fingers dug into his shoulders as he cried and pressed kisses to his baby brother's temple. "Jiminie, I'm so sorry I never saw it. Oh gosh, I'm a terrible brother!"

Jimin understood now that Jin knew about Joey. "No, Hyung. I should've confided in you. I should've let you know straight out and cut the bullshit. I was just so afraid he'd hurt you if you knew."

"My sweet dongsaeng," Jin sniffled, cuddling into Jimin's throat. "I'm so glad you found a friend. I'm so glad you trusted him."

"H-hyung," Jimin sniffled and pulled back to see Jin's face. "What're you doing here? I thought you would be in England for a few more months?"

"Well, I was going to be, but I just...I don't know. I felt like I needed to come visit you. And you hadn't been answering my calls so I came as fast as I could. I'm so glad I did." He pulled Jimin back into his chest and curled around him. "I swear, if I ever see him, he'll pay for all these years, all the lies and abuse."

Jimin hated to hear Jungkook say those things, but it was soothing to hear his brother say them. "Thank you, Hyung. I love you."

"Love you, too. Don't ever forget it, brat."

Jimin giggled and nuzzled against Jin's neck. He felt like a teenager again; like everything was okay again.

"I've got an extra bedroom at my apartment, Jiminie. You can take it and not worry about anything. I'll call and have the electric and water turned back on and-"

"Hyung," Jimin softly interrupted him, scratching the back of his neck. "Um...I don't... I wanna stay with Kookie."

Jin deflated for just a second, then suddenly smiled. "Alright then. I can send you some money for now and call Mom and Dad to see if they can help you out until you find another job."

Jimin hated having to take money, but he knew he needed it. He had nothing. Joey took everything once he changed.  "Thank you, Hyung. Seriously. Jungkook...he's been trying to support both of us. I know he says it's nothing, but...he's been working so hard..taking extra shifts. And I hate that we never really hang out anymore."

Jin nodded. "I'll pay him back. Don't worry, Jiminie. I don't want your hair to turn gray before mine," he chuckled.

Jimin smiled and pushed his hand through his hair. "Trust me. I've never been happier than I am now."
