Lie to the Touch | Y.M

Yoongi turned to face Jimin a little confused.

"Never knew you were dating."

"Well dah, you never cared about anyone around you."

"Well that's harsh." Yoongi scoffed, looking to the side.

"That's the truth, even if it hurts."

"I know." Yoongi sighed.

"Well are you going to tell me about it?" Yoongi questioned.

"I actually, really do want to tell you." Jimin honesty replied.

"Then go for it, spill everything you want. Tell me your story Jimin." Yoongi said, wanting to hear it all.

"Well that's a first."

"You're the one who said I don't care about anything around me, so here I am trying to change that."

"But why with me?" Jimin questioned unsurely.

"Do you want me to leave then?" Yoongi deadpanned.

"No, stay!" Jimin quickly said at the same time Yoongi tried to get up. Only for the boy to plop back down, with a small smirk.

"That's what I thought. Now you going to tell what's up or-"

"Hold on I'm just trying to collect my thoughts, it's not easy you know." Jimin muttered.

"Take your time m' not going anywhere." The two sat in silence for a good minute or so, staring at nothing.

"So, um- I can't lie." Jimin blurted out

"Huh?"

"Well my life isn't quite the ordinary one that everyone expects it to be," Jimin continued.

"What do you mean?" Yoongi looked over, keen on knowing more.

"I... I was cursed or something- to only tell the truth. It started when I was around fourteen or something. I don't even know much myself, but if I lie I end up getting cuts on my body kinda like a tally mark."

"But that's not the worse part-"

"Oh it gets worse?"

"Yeah. So if I tell a really big lie; like if I killed someone and I say I didn't, then I would get a really deep cut under my collarbone."

"See," Jimin showed, pulling part of his neckline down to show the tally marks littering his skin. Yoongi could see the four lines, looking like someone took a knife and carved them in. He winced at the thought of getting them, on himself.

"Does it hurt?" Yoongi carefully asked.

"Only when I get them. It hurts like- if someone took a blade to my skin." Jimin replied, fixing his neckline.

"Oh."

"How did you get those Four?" Yoongi questioned. Jimin sighed, taking a deep breath.

"Well, it's a long story-ish. Do you really want to hear it?"

"I'm not going anywhere." Yoongi stated, leaning his head against the wall. Jimin took a moment to collect himself before he would start. Taking a deep breath Jimin looked straight ahead.

"When I was fourteen I caught my 'dad' hitting my mom, wasn't a pleasant scene for a pre-teen. My dad didn't know I was there when he did it. I was so shocked at seeing my dad like that, that I ended up knocking something, trying to leave. My dad ended up asking me if I saw anything between the two. I lied and said I just got home, and that I accidentally knocked something down trying to grab a book from the shelf. He believed me, he was a dumb shit." Jimin scoffed, closing his eyes and also leaning his head back against the wall.

"I bet he was." Yoongi chuckled half-heartedly. Jimin smiled a little at the reaction.

"So the second one... I lied to my dad again. He was looking for mom, I knew where she was, but I also knew what he wanted from her. I told my mom to go stay with her friend, because I couldn't stand watching her try to protect me, and end up getting beaten up instead. I told him mom left to buy food. He believed me at first, but hours later he was pissed. He punched me then locked me in my room."

"Why was he doing that to your mom, what did she do to him?" Yoongi asked carefully.

"Oh, my mom did nothing wrong. It was me. He thought of me as a freak, because I'm gay. He never thought of me as his son. Mom loved me anyway, so she protected me the best she could. But the thing was I never came out to them 'til I was 15. Before that I think my dad cheated on mom, and mom caught him, but dad decided to take his anger out on her. That's what I caught from all the yelling. I just made it worse for my mom though." Jimin trailed off, tears slowly falling from his eyes.

"Hey, I bet she's fine now." Yoongi tried to consul Jimin. Jimin looked up to face Yoongi before whispering.

"She's dead."
