Jimin hurts too

If Jin didn't dislike Jungkook before, well, he sure as hell did now. When he told Jimin that Jungkook was not going with them, Jimin got so upset. He refuses to go out with Jin unless his "priend Kookie" came with them. Never in his life did he think of beating Jimin, but today he was so close to giving the little boy a spanking.

He already had too much dealing within his life, and Jimin behaving the way he was, was certainly not helping their situation. He wonders if it's due to Namjoon not being around. Jimin never acted out like this before. He was usually a calm and loving baby. This was a new behavior for him; one Jin didn't know how to handle.

Right now, Jimin was in the middle of the living room floor, trashing himself around. It was giving Jin a headache. He wanted to go into his bathroom, close the door, and scream out. What was he doing wrong in life? Maybe he should have died instead of Namjoon.

Suddenly the doorbell rings, and Jimin immediately stops crying as he looks towards the door, hopeful that it was his Kookie.

"Can I get the door, papa?" Jimin asked, wiping away his tears. Jin looked at him in disbelief. Weren't he just bawling his eyes out?

Jin shakes his head, "no baby. I will get it. You can come with Papa, though." Jin walks towards the door as Jimin trails behind him.

Upon opening the door, Jin was faced with Jungkook, who had a smile on his face. Jimin pushed past Jin and ran right to Jungkook, "Kookie, I miss you so so so much." Jin watched as Jungkook embraces Jimin into his arms as the little one wraps his tiny arms around the elder's neck. "I miss you too, little one." Jungkook pulls Jimin away from his neck to look him in his face, "Why was my Jimin crying? What's wrong. Tell Kookie what happened?" Jin watched as Jimin started to cry and explain to Jungkook why he's crying. "Papa is mean to me, and I only want to play with you, Kookie. Papa said, my other dad-"

"Okay, that's enough, Jimin," Jin said, stopping Jimin before he goes any further. He did not want Jungkook to know about his personal life.

"It's okay, Jin. Let him explain himself. I know he's young, but we should allow him to have a voice." Jungkook said while pinching Jimin's cheek, who had stopped crying and now giggling because of the affection Jungkook was showing him.

"I'm sorry, but who are you to tell me what to do with my child? There is no "we" when it comes to Jimin. I am his parent, not you. Can you please not but in on how I'm raising him." Jin was furious. "Jimin, get down from Jungkook and go inside the house, now. Papa will not tell you again. If you don't listen, I am taking away all your toys." Jin said in a stern tone. Jungkook had crossed the line by telling him how to raise his child.

Jungkook seeing how upset Jin was, placed Jimin down and told him to listen to Papa. "Go on inside, buddy, and we will go in a few once I'm done talking to your papa." At Jungkook's words, Jimin runs into the house. Jin stood there baffled as he didn't understand why Jimin was so corporative to a stranger, yet gave him such a hard time.

"Jin, I am sorry for overstepping my boundaries. It's just that you shouldn't shut Jimin down like that when he's talking. It's not healthy for him. His voice matters." Jungkook told him truthfully.

"Why even apologize for overstepping your boundaries, if you're going to do it again. How do you know what's healthy for my kid?"

"He's hurting Jin. He knows your hurting and sad. His father dying must have left a huge burden on your heart, but Jimin feels the same. He's feeling the emotions you are emitting even when you don't realize it. He may be young, but it doesn't mean he's not hurting." Jin looked at Jungkook as he wanted to rip his throat out. "How the hell do you know about Jimin's dad? You have no right to say the things you are saying. What the hell are you a psychologist? Don't pass judgment about something you don't know. Please leave." Jin goes to close his door, but Jungkook stops it with his foot.

"Sorry. It seems I touched on a subject I shouldn't have. It's just Jimin has been expressing himself to me in the mornings. He's sad that you're sad. I can look at you right now and understand what Jimin sees daily. If it weren't for that little boy, I wouldn't have known someone lived in this house. It's so quiet and depressed looking, no offense.

Yes, by the way, I am a child's psychologist. I think that might have been the reason why Jimin and I bonded so well. He's super sweet. He's just hurting, maybe like how your hurting. I don't know your past, not sure what happened to Jimin's dad, but I think you should let him talk about it. He said you don't. You ignore him when he asks questions about his dad. I don't know if that's true, but you shouldn't do that. Again, I'm sorry for overstepping my boundaries. You both seem like such good people that I can't help but care. If you don't mind, I'd like to come with you guys today. Let's not make Jimin cry any more than he already has. What do you say?"
