The Prophecy Of The Immortal Hybrid

Chapter 19

    After finishing breakfast, Jimin pretty much had zero motivation to show up at work. He felt guilty, but he was almost a hundred percent sure that he would be skipping work. His employees were calling him out, saying that he was skipping work more than what was acceptable. It was true, but he didn't make an effort to change it.

Jimin didn't even know why he would even bother skipping work. It was as if he was a college student all over again, constantly procrastinating on assignments. His college days were the peak of his laziness. Now, that laziness was coming back to him and slapping him across the face.

He groaned when the alarm rang. He had an urge to just destroy his phone, but he knew that he definitely couldn't afford a new one. He just turned off the alarm and slumped back down on the couch. He stared at the TV, not bothering to turn it on. He had basically zero motivation to do anything.

Sicheng joined him on the couch, turning on the TV and watched a Chinese Variety Show, giggling ever so often. Jimin had no idea what was going on, but giggled along with Sicheng whenever he saw something funny. After a few episodes of the show, Jimin was starting to feel bored and hungry. He got up and went to the kitchen.

"Do you want anything to eat?" He called as he watched Sicheng fall off the couch from laughter at this one scene. "Some... pizza... please...." Sicheng said inbetween deep breaths, trying to compose himself to prevent laughing too hard. Jimin nodded, microwaving some pizza they had in the fridge. He knew that Sicheng liked his pizza hot, so he punched in a bunch of numbers in hopes that Sicheng will think it's hot enough.

Meanwhile, he went and made some simple porridge to eat. Jungkook had taught him the recipe and he's already practiced it many times. He should be able to make it at least decently. After the pizza was done, he grabbed it from the microwave and placed it on the living room table. As Sicheng started digging in, he continued to finish making his porridge.

Jimin's porridge was finally done about twenty minutes later. Sicheng had complained that his pizza felt like it was boiled due to how hot it was, but those complaints slowly died down. Jimin scooped up a bit of porridge and put it in a bowl, grabbing a spoon and going into the living room to eat it. While he was eating, his got a bunch of calls, probably from his secretary who was looking for him. He ignored them and continued eating, putting his phone on Do-Not-Disturb mode.

He noticed that he was the only one working, which was strange. Didn't Jungkook have a job as well? If so, why did he never go to work like Jimin did? It was as if he was the only one struggling to make a living out of the two of them. After thinking about it, he made an assumption that could very likely be true. Namjoon and Jungkook were most likely close friends, and Namjoon was filthy rich. Namjoon was probably supporting Jungkook which was the main reason why he didn't have a job.

Jimin pondered about it for a bit longer before Jungkook entered the room, shirtless. He went inside the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water and a small juicebox filled with banana milk. He sat there and drank the banana milk, ignoring the weird stares that Jimin was giving him. He knew that he likely looked very strange, but he didn't care.

After he was finished drinking from the juicebox, he threw it in the trash can nearby and walked up to Jimin on the couch who was obviously procrastinating. "Since you're too lazy to go to work today, why don't you go swimming with me in the pool?" He turned to Sicheng. "Sicheng, you're welcome to join us with Yuta if you'd like. I went out with Yuta after breakfast to buy swimsuits. If you want to come, your swimsuit is waiting for you in the on a table near the pool."

Jungkook didn't wait for Jimin's answer and practically dragged him to the pool. "Do you even know what size I am?" He asked, clearly exasperated. "It isn't rocket science once you see all the pants you wear. I get it, you're pretty small." Jungkook teased, causing Jimin to roll his eyes. "I'm not as small as you think." He replied. "Your dick says otherwise." Jungkook retorted, running for dear life as soon as he finished the sentence.

Jimin felt slightly offended, especially since he knew that his dick was on the smaller side. He rolled his eyes again and put on his swimsuit, testing the temperature of the water with one foot. Jungkook saw this and tiptoed behind him. He pushed Jimin, expecting him to fall in alone. What he didn't expect was Jimin holding onto his arm tightly and dragging him down as well.

Once they both made it to the surface, they pointed at each other and started whining immaturely. "You pushed me down into the water!" Jimin whined. "Well you dragged me down with you!" Jungkook whined back. This continued for a while longer until Yuta and Sicheng came in and grabbed their swimsuits, witnessing the scene in the process.

"You two should just get married already. I mean, you two are already fighting like a married couple, why not speed up the process since you two are going to end up together anyway?" Yuta teased, causing the two boys to become red and flustered. "I second that." Sicheng agreed. Jimin pretended to be offended, feeling a bit betrayed that Sicheng would agree with what Yuta said.

Before Jimin could give them a piece of his mind, the two of them bolted into the changing room. They came out a few minutes later. Jimin noticed that Sicheng seemed to be a bit insecure, but he realized why only after he took a closer look. Sicheng and Yuta both were covered in scars just like Jaehyun. Yuta had a signifigantly smaller amount of scars compared to Sicheng. Sicheng was just scattered with scars, most of them healed.

Jimin looked away, not wanting the two of them to be insecure of their scarred body. He noticed that Yuta seemed to embrace his scars while Sicheng tried to hide them. It was probably due to the difference in self-confidence. Yuta was confident and bright, seemingly having no trauma at all from being in that horrible place.

Sicheng on the other hand, was more distant and cold, only opening up when he trusted someone. He seemed to bear a lot of trauma compared to Yuta. Jimin often heard Sicheng screaming at night due to his nightmares. He found it slightly annoying, but he didn't have the heart to tell Sicheng. Those nightmares were probably out of his control, so it isn't his fault. Luckily, the nightmares seemed to become less frequent as time passed.

Jimin didn't notice how silent the room was until he was snapped out of his thoughts from the sound of Jungkook slapping the water. He rolled his eyes and looked at Sicheng, who still seemed to look uncomfortable from being shirtless. He gathered up his confidence and spoke up.

"Well? Let's have fun in the pool, shall we?"
