AMOR [vincit omnia] // namjin

Chapter 9 - Shower

"He what?"

Silence, not a word, the room was full of tension.

I closed my eyes, breathing. How did I solve that thing? How was possible that Jungkook, the sweet Kookie, cheated on his beloved half? Something was terribly wrong. But in that moment Taehyung was the only thing I wanted to take care of; I reopened my eyes.
Jimin was angry, so angry and I totally get it. Jungkook was not only Tae's boyfriend but also our friend. Family. The whole thing was like a knife in the stomach for us too. But Taehyung was the priority.

I sit near the boy, arm around his shoulders
"Tae?"
He stared the floor with empty eyes
"Tae, please, look at me"
His eyes were red, sad, his face was so pale and his lips were bleeding a little 'cause of the nervous biting. I couldn't resiste, I hugged the broken boy and I hold him, he started sobbing again in my chest.

"W-Why hyung?"
I didn't know what to say, something was wrong, but maybe I was only disappointed by Jungkook.

"I don't know, really, I don't know"

Slowly, Taehyung breathed again normally, without sobbing.
Jimin was still in front of us.

God, one week and half, just one week and half far from home and everything was messed up.

Don't know how much time passed before one of us talked, surprisingly was Tae
"J-Jimim, are you okay? You were crying before"
Jimin nodded, surprised
"You, really? You're worried about me? Oh Taehyung, I swear I'm gonna punch that brat, no one can make you suffer like this, no one.."
while speaking he came closer, near Taehyung, taking him in his arms, cuddling.

Jimin was the only one who could make Tae better, I knew it.
My job now was to understand what the fuck happened.

Seokjinnie
Jungkook what happened?

Nothing.

Seokjinnie
Jungkook answer me, now

Still nothing.

Seokjinnie
Sweet lord jesus, Jeon Jungkook answer me now or I'm going to take a fly back to Seoul to punch you

Kookie
It's better not to talk, hyung

Seokjinnie
It's better not to talk? Oh, have you the barely idea of how Taehyung is now? He's fuckin broken! What did you do? Why? I can't believe it. Tell me it's not the truth, I can't believe it Kook, it's impossible. You're not capable of harm someone, I know, so why did you do such a thing? I know you love him! You're not an asshole! Tae is crying his soul out, doesn't bother you?

Yes I was mad.

Kook
I'm sorry

So, that was the truth, unbelievable.
Unbelievable.

"Hyung can you bring us some water?"
"Uh yes Chim"

The kitchen was small but comfortable, I took two glasses of water for the boys and some cookies just in case.
My phone buzzed

Namjoon
ehi Jin, sorry to bother you, everything is ok?

Ah, Namjoon, totally forget about him. I felt guilty so I quickly replied

Seokjinnie
Namu forgive me, it's a shitty situation and I'm a little upset too, but don't worry see ya at university?

I left the phone on the kitchen table, Tae was still in Jimin's arms with closed eyes
"Thanks hyung and uh cookies! Tae eat something!"
Taehhying made some funny noise causing Jimin's giggle, the little blonde started to play with the boy's cheeks, biting his ear "Tae - you - have - to -eat"
"Oh fuck Jimin stop"
Taehying laughed a little too, he was in good hands and my little hangover decided to visit me, my head hurted and my stomach too, I was absolutely not a drinker.
"Bros I'm going to lay down a little, call me if you need"
"Hyung don't ever use the word 'bros' again it's cringe!"
They both smiled
"Thanks Jin"
Tae smiled saddly, seeing him like that hurted my heart, I won't give up about what happened until I had an explanation
I took back the phone while going to my room, new texts, three from Namjoon and one from my mum.
Oh wait, three texts from Namjoon?

Namjoon
Oh, of course we'll see each other 😊😊😊

Namjoon
are you like busy?

Namjoom
if you want, I can call you, I mean 👉👈 maybe we can talk, I can try to cheer you up or something 😊😊

My heart skipped a beat, butterflies in my stomach, oh god was I in a cheap telenovelas?

Seokjinnie
I was about to resta a little but..
Lemme take a shower to wake me up a little Namu, can't wait to call you😉

Yes, I was totally a 13 years old guy with his first crush, I couldn't wait to talk with him, but phone calls always embarrassed me.

I had to take that shower, running home made me sweat and also I needed cold water to wake up and to think clearly at the Taekook situation.
I went to the bathroom, taking off all my clothes and looking at my naked self in the mirror.

Finally I was able to look at myself, without obstacles, finally I was able to call me "nice" and was only thanks to my friends.

I was tall, with large shoulders and I used to hate that, people bullied me when I was little because 'you're a giant eww'
I know it's stupid, but kids can be asshols and this thing followed me through the years, making me uncomfortable.
Plus I was gay, not a well seen thing for a lot of people.
I struggled a lot.

But not now, I was almost fine. I was beautiful, I knew it and not only for my look, but I was good.
I learned to take care of others, at every cost, other's happiness was mine.

But I was shaking, bad idea having deep thoughts while being naked, it was cold.

I entered in the shower letting the iced water flow on my body, I loved the feeling of water on my skin, on my hair. My shampoo was out, I didn't notice it, well what now? Jimin's was there but smelled like some oil from Egypt, as he said, but what could I do?

I showed carefully my hair, behind my ears, my skin was like craving for that beautiful sensation of cleaning.
Showers are a true blessing, don't know how much time passed, but it was so nice.

Suddenly I remember about Namjoon and the call

Thinking about him under the shower was not a good idea, but that was not the right time, I had to hurry, he was waiting for me.

I wrapped a towel around my waist, water falling from my wet hair to the floor, what a fuckin mess.
While going to my room I gave a look at my boys, they felt asleep on the couch, lying in each other arms, cuddling: Tae's face was sad, Jimin was like a little koala around the other's body. Two cuties, I was glad they had each other, I was glad I had them.

I put my pajama on, took my phone and pressed the call button.
