Coffee & Kisses

29

    Yoongi saw a path that led off to a little strip of shops outside of the college campus, looking back to see that Jin had effectively got the screen off and was now running towards him with the other five slowly in tow. Yoongi rolled his eyes and jogged onto the path and brought his hood up. There was thankfully three people jogging on the path quickly coming up to Yoongi, so he used them as a shield as he darted behind a tree nearby.
  Yoongi sat down, sneaking a quick peek to see Jin stomping the ground like a little kid as Namjoon consoled him, with Taehyung sitting on the grass and playing with he little dandelions and small poppy flowers that littered the grass. Then Yoongi laid his eyes on Jimin. Jimin has already spotted him and they finally made eye contact. Jimin was standing, head cocked to the side, and he didn't look healthy. He looked slightly thinner than Yoongi remembered, there was a bruise on his cheek and he had prominent eye bags and was wearing an oversized flannel and jeans. Yoongi remembered lending the flannel to the younger last year, and he'd never gotten it back because Jimin loved it so much.
  His reasoning was in his exact words, "It smells just like you Yoonie! I can't just not carry it around all day! What do you want me to go through?? Withdrawal? I didn't think so." When Yoongi thought of the memory his heart hurt, but it hurt more at the sight of Jimin.

Millions of thoughts flooded his mind,
Who hurt my Jimin?
I'll rip their face off if they've laid more than a finger on him.
Why is he thinner?
Did Taemin have anything to do with this?
If so god help me I'll castrate him and throw him in a dumpster-

   His thoughts were cut off by Jimin smiling at Yoongi. Yoongi subconsciously smiled back, but then the younger's smile fell.
  He heard the younger shout to the others, "I'm going to walk around a bit." Earning a sad look from Jin and Namjoon before both of them nodded. Jimin began walking towards Yoongi and he panicked. He stood upright, not ready to face the younger in any way shape or form. Jimin hesitantly walked closer, and Yoongi's heart cracked a little more by how fragile he look in the sweater paws and bruised face.
  "Yoongi..." Jimin began quietly, and Yoongi didn't know how much he'd missed the younger's honey-like voice so much until now. "You're crying..." Jimin said, eyes welling up with tears as he brought his hands up to cup Yoongi's face. Yoongi then felt the salty and hot tears that were trailing down his cheeks quickly. He then quickly wiped them away, and then slowly brought Jimin's hands away. He tried to ignore the loss of warmth he felt and the look of hurt that flashed across his face.
  "That's not important. Who has the right to lay their hands on you? Where did you get that bruise?" Yoongi asked, voice once again devoid of emotion as he tensely stared into Jimin's eyes.
  "I-I..." Jimin began but started to quietly sob into his hands, as if the mere thought brought back painful memories. Yoongi's reserve broke down though, and he brought the younger into a tight hug, running his fingers gently through Jimin's hair. In that hug he tried to tell Jimin all that he wanted him to know, and that Jimin would be safe in his arms forever and always.
  Jimin's sobs slowly morphed into hiccups, and it twinged at Yoongi's heart.
