MUTE LOVE (JIKOOK)

Learning more about him...

(Jungkook's p.o.v)

Dance class just ended. I'm still shook by Jimin's performance. Tae told me he was a great dancer but that really was an understatement. He looked like he was literally floating, like the music was controlling him. In the midle of the song he started tearing up and I could see the pain in his eyes. I even teared up myself... when I saw other people's face I chuckled. They all looked so extremely really shocked, and the teacher kept her mouth open for like 5 minutes straight.

I don't want to be selfish or anything, but I really want to be the person who makes him speak again...  I want him to trust me and feel safe around me even if I just met him. I just feel like I need to be the one for him to be himself with.

While I was walking back to the restroom I saw Jimin hurrying there. I ran after him and tapped slowly on his shoulder. He jumped and turned to me.

- H-Hey Jimin, I just wanted to tell you that... you dance really well and I really loved your performance.

I smiled at him but he just looked terrified of me so I continued.

- if you would like to... It would be nice to be friends.

He widened his eyes. He looked up at me before slowly turning around and lowering his head before walking away and not looking back.

Well, what did I expect? Life is not a fairytale... I guess it's not gonna be that easy...

After the last class ended I asked Taehyung to come to my house since I didn't have a shit to do... but mostly to know more about Jimin. He immediately accepted and we walked to my house together.

- wow! Jungkook you didn't tell me you were hella rich!
Was the first thing he said when he put a foot in the house.

- well that's not really a thing I like bragging about...

He nodded and we went up to my room. We sat down on my bed and started talking about weird shit.

- hey Taehyung?

- Yeah?

- Do you know if Jimin has any social media accounts or something?

- uh? Why?
He looked up at me with a questioning look.

I looked down to avoid his stare.

- nothing, I-I just wanted to know...

He smirked and raised his eyebrows at me.

- he has Instagram yes... but why would you want to know that exactly? Is Jungkookie interested in shy Jiminie?
He wiggled his eyebrows in a weird way.

- what?! No I just, I found him interesting and wanted to know him more... it doesn't mean I'm necessarily interested in him.

- ooooh, ok... did you see him dance already?

- oh my god yes! How the fuck does he do that shit?! He looks like he's made for dancing! It was so beautiful I CRIED!

He looked at me weirdly.

- and then you say you're not interested in him?! Well let me tell you, you're whipped as fuck bitch.

I pouted.

- I mean how can you not! Did you see his face?! And those cute hands?!

He laughed at my face.

- So you admit?

- maybe...

I said looking away.

- okay so listen here... Jimin is really sensible and has major trust issues okay? If you want to get him to talk to you, you'll need to take it slow and prove him you're worth it. It didn't work for me but, I guess we can hope...

I nodded.

- but please be careful with him. I don't want him hurting himself more...

- what? What are you talking about?

He looked at me sadly.

- I often see some cuts on both of his wrists... he doesn't know it tho.

My whole face fell when I heard this... how can this little ball of fluff do this to himself. At this right moment I feel the need to protect him and I don't even know why.

- Jungkook relax please you're scaring me.

Just then I realised the angry expression on my face.

- oh sorry... I was thinking about something.

After another hour of talking and getting to know each other Tae gave me Jimin's number and Instagram account before leaving to go help his mother.
