-S-

Taehyung was grateful for the silence but on the other hand it was also bothering him. Instead of leaving him Jimin stayed and was now stirring food in a pan. His presence was for the first time not scaring him nor was it really the problem. What got Taehyung mad was that the older knowingly dodged his question. In general after the brown haired Male had confronted his stalker he didn't utter a single word. Yet he remained in the apartment to cook for the younger. It was odd how he was standing there, with a small smile on his face which concealed whatever was running through Jimin's mind. Taehyung tho knew what was on his mind besides the major Shock and the fear he had just experienced, which made him stay in silence for the past hour as well. It was questions several of them all clouded in his head not one of them accepted by Jimin to give an answer too. All he knew was that he didn't want to kick Jimin out before he hadn't had at least some uttered words that'll leave him in satisfaction. Or maybe because the respect and horror for the blond was still way too high. At least the brown haired could breath again tho his chest stayed clenched in discomfort. Jungkook was alright. He didn't had the chance to prove if what Jimin told the younger was the truth so the latter had no other option then to trust the shorter Male.

"Here you go."

Hearing the olders voices caused Taehyung to flinch. It sounded almost familiar but was after strangely pleasant while Jimin placed down a plate in front of him. "Please eat. I hope you like it." The smile was weak, yet honest, Taehyung could tell. Even tho he had always eaten what he got served he didn't want to comply this time. "Only if you answer me. Why do you love me if we dont know each other?" It has been said now if was on Jimin to reply or once more shut his lips. To Taehyungs surprise the blond chuckled. His smile grew bigger tho it mixed with something countable as sadness. "You seriously dont remember do you?" Slowly Taehyung shook his head. Why was it now on him to get the answer to the questions which already burned into his head. "I also like guys." A cubby finger gently placed itself against its owners plush lips, which sorrow smile played on. "You're not alone." Taehyung was more then confused with the action even more with the soft giggle at the end of the sentence. Until a faint memory recalled in his mind he almost forgot. A small boy he helped out after others decided to pick on him. "So you do remember."

It seemed so impossible. More then surreal nevertheless listened Taehyung to Jimin or rather to the story of how they meet. Almost embarrassed over how he barely could remember the very event that Jimin spoke so passionate about. Painting pictures with his quiet voice, over how he got picked on of being so small and chubby. Over with how much pain in his voice he continued to explain that he got bullied for never being able to be in a relationship with a girl if he stayed like this and how he tried to be strong. Taehyung felt tears build up in his hazle eyes while Jimins soft voice just run through his mind. It almost felt to himself as if he was the one experiencing to finally get accepted and loved by someone only for that to make it worse. "They pulled so hard on my collar I thought I was going to choke to death but When the hickey on my neck got revealed I know it was over." And suddenly Taehyung understood why there was this student of another school on the ground. Why he was bleeding and tears run over the bruises of green and blue. They discovered that Jimin was gay and apparently the latter had discovered a hero in Taehyung when he protected him. "I never had the chance to really thank you for saving me back then. I don't know what it was but I think I fell for you the very moment. So I went on a search to find my guardian angel. Tho you never noticed me I enjoyed watching you seeming happy. Your smile made my heart skip but I knew you'd never want to be with some baby faced dork of a different school. Not when you are the Kim Taehyung who caused everybody to smile a bit more. It may sound ridiculous but I really didn't know what to do when I saw the love in your eyes whenever Jungkook was around. I couldn't handle the thought of losing you to him. To anyone while I hated myself for being too insecure to approach you."

Taehyung cheeks heated up to tint in a soft shade of pink as Jimin mentioned the period where he had a secret temporary crush on his best friend. But at the same time his throat run dry at the shared experience. Wordlessly he accepted the chopsticks Jimin handed him, his thoughts running wild.

Only Jimin didn't notice his tears softly dripping onto the cotton fabric of his shirt.
