The Terrible Student (BTS)

Chapter 8: Promise

'Ugh, morning time.' is all Jimin could think at the moment. Jimin was not a morning person and most likely would stay up late instead of waking up any type of early but Jungkook needed him more than his bed did.

Jimin slowly started to roll of the bed since he didn't wan to get out in the first place. He didn't want to leave his soft and warm covers and go out into the harsh world of reality.

THUMP

'Damn that hurt.' Jimin thought as he slowly stood up rubbing the back of his head. Of course he fell. The day had to start off with disruption of his sleep and then a nice headache from the floor. How wonderful.

The sunlight was creeping into the room through the not all the way closed curtains. It lit the room up in a beautiful color reflecting on Jimin's bed covers that were a light shade of blue. 

Jimin walked up to his dresser hoping to find something to wear but heard the door creak open slightly.

"Jungkook, what's wrong," Jimin asked softly. He knew what these days were like. Things could go wrong if not taken care of properly. Jungkook finally poked his head in with still puffy eyes from last night and a bare face that was still red from sleep. His hair was up in all different directions and his shirt was hanging off his shoulder.

"I heard a thump and thought you were hurt. Are you ok hyung?" Jungkook asked hesitantly knowing Jimin not to be a morning person. 

"Yeah, I'm fine Jungkook. Thank you for asking. Are you ok?" Jimin responded. Jungkook needed him today so he was going to try and do his best.

Jungkook pushed the door open halfway so Jimin could now see his whole body. Jungkook looked down at his feet and stared intently trying to avoid contact. He felt ashamed for still being upset and having days like these. He also felt guilty his hyungs had to deal with it in the first place. 

Jimin looked at him with worried eyes wanting to know why he wasn't talking. He stared at Jungkook for a minute before speaking.

"Jungkook, what's wrong?"

As soon as Jungkook's head came up Jimin could see the tears in his eyes and his lip swollen from biting it trying to hold back the tears. He looked back down quickly felling ashamed for being so weak and vulnerable. Jimin was surprised for a second but then strode to Jimin and pulled him in a tight hug. At that point Jungkook couldn't hold it in any longer and let out a muffled cry that was almost a scream because he held his tears in for so long. That made Jimin hug even tighter and Jungkook just sobbed for a minute soaking Jimin's shirt but Jimin didn't really care. Jimin forgot about hating mornings. He forgot about wanting more sleep. He forgot about hitting his head on the floor. Right now all that mattered was his precious Kookie and making him better.

"Jungkook, why are you crying," Jimin asked tenderly after Jungkook had cried for a few minutes. Jimin led Jungkook to his bed and sat him down rubbing his back.

Jungkook didn't speak for a moment and almsot started crying again but he wanted Jimin to know why he was upset.

"I-I... It's just...Urgh!" Jungkook responded. He didn't know why it was so hard to tell Jimin everything and just let all of his worries off his shoulders. It's like he was scared to tell anyone his problems. Afraid he would drag them down with him.

"Jungkook you can tell me anything. I'll always be by your side. Always here to guide you. Don't worry about telling me anything. Let it all out."

Jungkook took in a deep breath before continuing.

"I just feel so guilty I have these days. Days you and Namjoon and Jin can't do anything just because I'm messed up. I feel ashamed to be like I am, so lost and broken. You guys shouldn't have to deal with that."
