Jungkook blushes and hides his face in Jimin's chest. To say that he's happy is an understatement. He is overwhelmed by the fact that Jimin is taking care of him even after what they did. That's something Jungkook doesn't see everyday. "Where are we going?" he finds himself asking the older.
Jimin smiles, "You'll see." He exits the elevator still carrying Jungkook. When he goes out of the building he startles the security guards, but quickly smiles at them. "He hasn't eaten yet," Jimin explains, referring to Jungkook. "I'm taking him out for dinner."
The guards visibly relax and smile as well. They even offer hailing a cab for them. When the cab arrives, Jimin thanks them. "Have a good night, sirs," one of the guard says.
"You too," Jimin returns before entering the waiting vehicle.
Once the driver pulls off, Jungkook teases him. "Your smile can easily swoon my security."
Jimin chuckles, "What can I say? I am handsome."
Jungkook doesn't answer that because it's true and he knows that even if he tries to deny it, Jimin will know he's lying. "Oh, you have an eyelash under your eye." Jimin says, using his thumb to gently swipe away the fallen hair. He holds it near Jungkook's lips, "Make a wish!" He says cheerfully, losing his dominant aura from before.
"I don't have any wishes." Jungkook retorts, making Jimin poke his cheek.
"Everyone has wishes, you don't have to say them out loud."
Sighing, Jungkook closes his eyes. What is it that he wishes for the most? Ah, yes. That one wish that never comes true. The one where he wishes that his family would be happy again. They were once actually, at least when his mother was still alive. His father would always smile those days, and his brother never leaves his side. But when his mother died, their family changed. Happiness rarely comes into the Jeon household. His father became so strict, he and his older brother had a tough upbringing. "In this industry, the weak will fall and only the strong remain," his father would always say. "And I don't want to see any of my sons being weak." In the end, his brother managed their sales abroad while he stayed in their father's company. It's just a simple wish really, but why is it so hard to accomplish? Suddenly, tears cascade from his doe eyes without Jungkook even realizing it, and soon enough, he's crying on Jimin's chest.
"Jungkook, why are you crying?" Jimin worriedly asks, petting his back and his hair to try and calm him down.
"It's nothing," the younger male stutters, trying to pull away from the hug but Jimin wouldn't let him. He's holding him tight.
"It's not nothing if you're crying because of that." He cups the younger male's cheek, wiping away a fallen tear. "You don't have to tell me, you know." He draws soothing circles with his thumb, smiling fondly. "Just know I'm here if you need someone."
Jungkook's eyes water even more, but he musters a small smile. "Thank you..." he whispers sincerely. "It's just that...life's been pretty hard. Especially when mom...w-when she...passed on..." Jungkook in a shaky breath before continuing, "My father taught us to be strong because only the weak will get left behind...Junghyun hyung and I grew up in that environment...which is why I had to be cold and harsh...even if I didn't want to. I-I'm sorry that I w-was rude...I d-didn't--" Then he bursts out into tears once again.
The older pets his brown hair and holds him even closer by the waist. He whispers sweet nothings on the younger's ear, trying to calm him down once more and telling him to let it all out because it's alright to cry sometimes. It's been so long since someone cared for him like this. Too long. And despite knowing him only for a few hours, he is happy that it's Jimin who is holding him. That it's Jimin who is seeing him like this. He feels that it's okay to be vulnerable around Jimin because he knows the older will protect him. The very thought is comforting that his crying is reduced to hiccups until he stops completely, but he doesn't move from his place on Jimin's firm chest. He just needs the silver haired man to hold him just for a little longer. When he finally finds his voice, Jungkook whispers,
"Jimin hyung?"
