chapter 19 a walk

half dead from exhaustion.

Jimin pov
I woke up with a head rested on my shoulder. I looked around me to find sunlight seeping through the curtains. It was morning. I don't want to wake her up but have to. I feel like I should let her out of the house. I can't keep her locked up in this room forever.

I would even go insane.

I slowly caressed her head and observed her beautiful features. She was just as beautiful as the first day I had asked her out. She hasn't changed at all. Her face just as beautiful.

It made me angry to see the small darkening mark forming on her chin. I did that. And I shouldn't have. I looked away, towards the wall opposite from us. Things could have been so much better if I hadn't made the mistakes I had made.

Namjoon hyung always told me to embrace my mistakes and learn from them to be a better person today. That I am here today with my mistakes. But that isn't easy when you always have a voice talking to you in your head, telling you what to do.

The bed shifted slightly bringing my attention to her. She was awake and glancing at me with sleepy eyes. She stretched before snuggling back up with the blanket. I smiled at her behaviour and snuggled with her too.

"Morning" she smiled at me subtly.

"You're awake early" she said, glancing up at the clock hanging off the wall. I nodded and followed her gaze to the clock.

9:00am

I guess that is early, considering that it's the weekend. I dont think she even knows what day it is. I nodded and threw the blanket off me. I stood up and walked towards the curtains to open them. I draped them open and light flooded into the room. We both squinted our eyes.

I walked back to the bed and sat down again. She rubbed her eyes and waited for me to say something.

"I want to take you out today" I said. She looked at me and her eyes held a slight glow in them. I could tell she liked the idea.

"Really, go out?" She confirmed. I nodded my head. I frowned focusing my attention back to the mark on her face. I hated it but I can't go back and fix it now. I just need to not do it again.

"You'll just need to cover this up with some makeup or something" I muttered lightly touching the bruise. She moved away a little and touched it herself. She didn't show that it hurt but I'm sure it did.

"Okay" she replied with a subtle smile followed by her standing up. She stretched and walked towards the window and looked outside. It was really beautiful as the frost of winter had already started to set onto the tree tops and grass.

"Come to my room and I'll give an option for clothes" I said, walking away from the bed where I had been standing. She nodded and followed me as I walked out of the room. I turned a hallway and my room was just to the right.

We walked in and I gave her an option of what to wear. She chose her choice of clothing and then I had a shower. I gave her the choice to have a shower in the other rooms bathroom and she did too. When we were both ready, we headed out of the house.

It was nice to finally be out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We walked hand in hand through the frost enveloped path. The grass coated in a thin layer of ice and frost. The dim street lights didn't do much to illuminate the dull gray streets. Even though it was almost noon, the clouds blocked the rays of sun.

"This is nice" she breathed out. A cloud formed around her as she breathed out warm air. I nodded and looked at her from the side.

"Yeah, it is"

The surrounding park was quiet and peaceful. No one else could really be seen. Only ones who walked their cute little puppy for daily walks or the odd jogger keeping to their daily routine.

"How long do you think-" she stopped her question when someone bumped into her. I looked over at her and glared up at the person who had ran into her. My eyes widened and it's seemed as if time had stopped for a moment.

"Taehyung?" I quietly muttered out under my breath.

"Jimin?" He also questioned. He looked really happy to see me. His expression returned back into his boxy smile. I was pulled into a tight hug by him and hugged back.

"Where have you been!? I missed you!" He grumbled at me imitating an angry expression but it flashed back into an overjoyed face. I smiled brightly, seeing my best friend again. It's been a while.

"Taehyung-ah" someone called out. I turned my head to see another familiar figure.

"Jimin? What are you doing here?" He asked looking back and forth between me, yoonji and taehyung.

He made the 'o' face and then scratched the back of his neck, awkwardly.

I looked away realising that he may have found out about this. But I don't think taehyung knows judging on how he reacted.

"Uhh taehyung we need to go head home now" namjoon broke the silence and tugged taehyung jacket slightly. We both frowned.

"But I just saw him! I can't leave now" taehyung whinned stubbornly. I chuckled and then slowly looked up to namjoon. He didn't look mad, he just looked like he didn't know what to do.

"Taehyungie, go for now I'll see you another time" I said placing my hand on his shoulder. He looked up at me sadly and nodded. He hugged me once again.

"Bye hyung" he said, sadly looking at me with puppy eyes. They always get to me. Don't worry taehyung-ah, I'll see you again soon. I smiled at him as they walked away.

I waved when they started to walk further. I wish I could have at least said goodbye to him when I left Seoul.

I wonder what they are doing in Busan. Maybe a trip for Jungkook. Yeah he visits his parents almost every weekend.

"Come on lets go" I said, turning our direction. We started walking back home.

I can't believe we saw Taehyung and Namjoon hyung. What will happen if he goes and tells Yoongi hyung about seeing us here. I can't risk them finding us.

If I moved our location this time, I'd have to go back to that house.

And I don't want to go back there. It contains nightmares which I never want to think about ever again. But if I have no choice, I'd have to.

It's only as a last resort.
