Fate's Humor - Serendipity (YoonMin)

First Kiss

Min Yoongi

"...I was almost beaten to death when I was 10"

I wasn't able to speak for a moment. I looked at Jimin's face and the emotions he tried to mask for years passed through his eyes for a split second.

Pain. Sadness. Misery.

"W-why? Who the fuck did that to you?" I balled my fist when I felt the anger rise and my chest constricted.

Who, in their right mind, will do that to a child?

Jimin didn't answer. He rest his head on my shoulder and took my hand. He gently tugged my fingers to loosen my fist and carefully slid his fingers with mine.

He seemed lost in his own thoughts and we both fell deep in silence.

"Jimin" I called his name to bring him back to reality.

His nightmares and the terrified look on Jimin's face everytime he woke up in them, it all made sense now.

"They're no longer important Hyung"

I cupped his cheeks to hold his gaze but he quickly averted his gaze.

"Look at me" I commanded.

Jimin met my eyes hesitantly.

"J-just forget what I said Hyung. It's all in the past. I didn't know why I bring that up. I'm an idiot"

I don't want to let the topic slide but part of me was gripped in fear for the things that I might discover.

Not that, it can change my feelings towards Jimin. On the contrary, I might never want to let him go. But I know I can't.. he's not mine to keep.

I sighed. "I won't force you to tell me more if you're not comfortable but promise me that you will let me know if someone or something is bothering you"

Jimin nodded. "I will Hyung"

I pulled him in a tight hug and kissed the top of his head.

This is all I can do for now.

Park Jimin

A week have passed and everything went back to normal. To my relief, Yoongi never asked me about my past anymore.

I wanted to tell him everything but part of me are terrified. I can't shake off the fear in my heart that once he knew the whole truth, he'll hate me.

I already lost Jungkook, I can't lose Yoongi too.

Since that day Jungkook told me he had an emergency, we're back to square one. He's back to ignoring me even though I tried to approach him several times.

Maybe this is for the better?

When I met Jungkook again, I got overwhelmed that I foolishly thought it was fate's doing. That, it is my chance to make things right between us. That is why I did everything to get close to Jungkook.

But what I didn't realize sooner is that we've changed. I'm not the same Jimin that Jungkook liked when we were young and it is same for Jungkook.

And I don't want him to remember what happened. It is best if he will not remember even if it means I won't be part of his life again and I'm the only one who will suffer.

"Jimin-ah"

I felt Yoongi tugged my arm to get my attention. "You're spacing out"
