Heart of the Cure

Chapter Nineteen: Jelousy

It was the middle of the night, everyone laid sound asleep in their rooms, all but Jimin. He was sat on his bed, back against the wall. He looked over to his side where Jungkook lightly snored as he hugged the pillow against his chest. Jimin sighed as he looked around the room. He didn't have much to do and he couldn't go up to the roof. He knew that Yoongi would be up there. He knew that Yoongi would most likely want to talk to him but Jimin honestly didn't want to. He didn't know what to say nor was he ready for it.

After Jimin locked himself up in his room, Jungkook came in thirty minutes later. He asked if he was okay but just like always, Jimin played the strong one. He didn't want Jungkook to worry or even get mad at what happened. Jimin didn't know how Jungkook would react to the news at all. He leaned his head back to the wall when he thought of the awkward moments he will have with Yoongi. "Why? Of all people, why me?" Jimin whispered to himself.

He didn't want any of this. He never wanted to be involved with anyone at all, especially not in a time like this. Jimin sighed once more and placed both of his hands on his face, covering it entirely. "I just have to forget it, nothing happened. Yeah, it didn't happen. Pretend that it was a dream. . . or more like a nightmare." Jimin then said as he slouched. "Jimin?" Jungkook mumbled when he felt the bed move. "Oh, did I wake you? Go on, go back to sleep. It's still night." Jungkook yawned and sat up, stretching before squinting to look at Jimin properly.

"Hey, are you okay? I've noticed that you haven't been able to sleep well recently." Jungkook questioned, scratching his chest with another yawn. Jimin smiled and shook his head "I'm fine, really. I think I'm just a little stressed, is all. How about you? How's work been since they've began to give you more." Jungkook shrugged and shook his head "It's alright, I get tired a lot but it's fine. The more the better. . ." "Well if you're tired, you should go back to sleep then." Jungkook nodded and immediately laid down. Instead of sleeping though, he pulled the covers up and patted the spot next to him.

Jimin chuckled lightly and nodded, quickly getting under the covers. As soon as he did, Jungkook hugged him and yawned "Sleep, you need it too." "Okay" Jimin responded with a smile as he closed his eyes. He waited until Jungkook's snores began once more to open his eyes again. He frowned as he looked up at the ceiling. 'I have to stay away from Yoongi. . . that's the only way.' Jimin said to himself 'I have to.'

Birds chirped in the morning blue sky. Jimin and Jungkook were both in the kitchen, cooking dinner. "Heya, do you guys need some help?" Eric asked as he entered the kitchen. "No we're good." Jungkook responded. Eric looked at Jimin who was cutting onions from Taehyung's garden. "Jimin? Are you okay? Hello? Jimin, are you there?" Eric asked when Jimin continued to cut, a distant expression on his face. "Huh? Oh sorry, I didn't hear you." 

"Oh. . . I was just asking if you were okay. Is something bothering you?" Eric asked concerned. Jimin smiled and shook his head "No I'm fine, don't worry about a thing. Why don't you help us to take the food out." "Yeah. . . okay." The three each grabbed plates and took them out to the people in the dining room.
