"Oh, wow. I didn't expect you to have a boyfriend." Eric mumbled as he scooted a bit closer to jimin. Yoongi had left them alone without saying a word. Jimin couldn't tell if he was upset or not, but a couple minutes ago he was happy that jimin had found someone to help him out with school work. Wasn't he?

"I'm surprised you didn't know", jimin laughed out loud," I mean everyone seems to know almost everything. Even more than I do. Like.. Honestly I didn't even know I was dead."

"But.." Eric started to whisper just to make sure yoongi couldn't hear them, "min yoongi? Seriously?"

"What do you mean? Wait. you know him?" Jimin asked quickly.

"He used to go to our college, didn't he? Everyone knows him. What are you talking about?"

"Oh" jimin sighed, "I kind of forgot that my boyfriend was the popular bad guy."

Suddenly, the guys jaw dropped and his gaze focused on jimin. He looked surprised. Like he had just heard something he never heard before, but that couldn't be it.

"What?!", jimin furrowed his eyebrows as he waited patiently for Eric to say a word.

"I think I just realized something." He rested his face in his hands and everything was quiet for a moment.

Jimin was so curious, almost panicking,"what is it?!"

"Everyone" eric started and took a deep breath," Everyone has been saying that a guy kidnapped you. Now I remember everything. It was yoongi wasn't it? Everyone thought he killed you when we got informed! Because he was the only one missing too. And when some kids went to his place, they found the door open, the windows broken and a whole mess and-"

"Hold on. That's absolutely not true. I can't believe this-" jimin spoke.

"Please, jimin." Eric started to whisper and grabbed jimins arm "if he's threatening you not to tell anyone and pretend to be his boyfriend, please tell me. I'll get you out of here. He won't get to lay a finger on you."

Jimin pushed Eric's hand off his arm and looked at him confused," do you really think that? I'm with him cause I chose to be with him. And no, he didn't kidnap me."

"Jimin, I know the truth. Please. I'll help you out. You don't have to be scared." Eric begged jimin and his voice was shaky.

Jimin was lost. What would he know? Why was Eric so worried about jimin? Is that what everyone believes? That jimin was kidnapped and murdered. By his only boyfriend. Min yoongi. The bad guy. That wouldn't make any sense. Why would he?

"What truth are you talking about? Only I know the truth. None of you knows anything. If you could please help me out with our studies now, or leave."

"I will help you! But I definitely won't leave you alone with him." Eric said and nodded his head lightly.

"Okay, nevermind." Jimin sighed, "Let's get started now."

He opened his notebook and took some pens out of his bag, "what's your favorite color to write with?" Jimin asked.

Eric tilted his head, "I don't know, man. I've never actually thought about that since I've never been asked this random question before."

"Okay, black. Here you go." Jimin handed the black gel pen to him and ignored his words.

Eric giggled and opened his textbook. He explained to jimin a lot of the things he missed and jimin seemed to slowly get back into it, remembering everything he had studied before. Sometimes, he'd find himself staring at Eric when he talked. It wasn't only the fact that Eric was tanned and extremely handsome, but he also sucked at explaining and teaching which led to jimin getting out of focus soon.

"What you looking at?"

"Eh-, I- could you say the last sentence again. I didn't understand."

"No wonder when you've been staring at my lips instead." Eric smirked flustered and closed his textbook.

"What- no- i- w-wasn't " jimin stuttered as he started panicking.

"I saw you, dude. But it's no big deal. You're pretty cute." Eric said and a smile appeared on his face. He slowly moved his head towards jimin and stared at his lips. Jimin froze and couldn't even pull back one inch. Just as Eric's lips were finally about to meet jimins a deep voice interrupted them, "Leave."

Eric gasped and pulled away only to find yoongi standing there with clenched fists and a dark scary face.

For a split second jimins eyes met yoongis and he wished their eyes never did. Jimins heart dropped. He was terrified. Never has he seen that facial expressions on yoongi before. He looked so angry. Full of madness. And most importantly hurt.

No words were shared. Eric grabbed his bag silently and headed outside. Yoongi shut the door behind him and was walking up the stairs. Jimin wanted to say something but he couldn't get anything out of his mouth. He felt guilty.

"Y-yoongi", the name softly and shakily escaped his mouth before it was too late. And yoongi stopped. Jimins heart skipped a beat as yoongi turned around and faced him.

"leave me alone." Yoongi said as quiet as possible and closed the bedroom door. He didn't yell. He didn't say it in a harsh way but that was even more hurtful for jimin. Yoongi was heartbroken.

Jimin closed his eyes trying not to cry. It's okay, he said to himself. Tomorrow he'd just explain the whole situation to yoongi and everything would be fine. He didn't do anything wrong, did he?

The phone in jimins pocket vibrated.

It was him.
Again.

Eric :
don't worry I'll get you out of there

Jimin :
Leave me alone

Eric :
I know that's not jimin texting .
I know the truth. You can't fool me.
I know it's you who kidnapped him.

Jimin:
Who told you that?

Eric:
His father you piece of shit
