The Lie You Keep

Just Out

Pic from gugle. Oh and thank you for 500+ reads!

"I had this really cute dog before, and he was super cuddly."

"Uh-huh."

"I once met this poor kid on the street, and I was so moved that I literally gave all my lunch money."

"Yeah sure."

"Hey Jimin you seem off. You okay? Oh I remember this one time..."

And on and on Seokjin babbled.

Jimin didn't know whether to be grateful for the company or annoyed for the impractical information the older was jabbering.

What was he gonna do with his dog? Is he gonna try and look for the poor kid too?

"Jin-hyung okay I get it thank you... for the wonderful information you shared."

Jin positively lights up, and he's just about to prattle once more before Jimin distracts him exclaiming "Oh look a puppy!"

Jin's head whips around so fast.

"Where??"

"Let's go get some coffee."

"Huh? Okay."

But just as he's about to take another step, a huge cabinet from a building falls and Jimin had a few seconds to move quickly before he was crushed.

"Woah hyung did you see-" he cuts off, confusedly looking around. "Hyung?"

He spots him by a stand selling food, and Jimin trudges toward him who was happily munching a donut.

"Wha 'id ooo thay?" Jin asked with a mouthful of food, his sentence translating to 'What did you say?'

"I-"

Jimin presses his lips shut. Should he tell Jin that someone crazy was out to get his life?

He shakes his head with a forced smile.

"Nothing hyung. It's nothing."

They walk around again aimlessly, but this time Jimin was sure to put up his guard for his own sake.

He doesn't want to burden Jin, and he's sure he can take care of himself.

After narrowly missing speedy cars and more falling objects, after some little explosions and sharp flying objects coming from nowhere, Jimin finds the need to tell his co-worker, no matter how crazy it all seemed.

"Hey hyung?"

"Yes Jimin?"

The tone was sweet and soothing, and Jimin felt comforted by that.

"There's been some really weird things going on," he starts nervously, "I- I know you won't believe but just hear me out, can you?"

The desperation is there and Jin nods to show he's ready.

"I feel like someone's out to get me, but I don't know why," Jimin confides. "There's something going on around me but I don't know specifically." He looks at the older again, who just continued to stare and smile.

"I- I think I'm being targeted."

There's silence and Jin nods before capturing Jimin's wrist and dragging him away from the people.

"You trust me right Jimin?"

"Of course. Otherwise I wouldn't be telling you stuff like this."

"Well I'm not sure what's going on but I wanna help okay? Can I bring you somewhere?"
