Track 07

Chapter Thirty-Nine

You need to talk to Jimin. He's been ignoring your texts and calls for the last three days. You made him worry too much. You gotta fix this. But how? You don't even know where he lives. Oh! Maybe Namjoon knows. You text him, and you were right. He tells you Jimins address. You quickly grab some mochis as an apology and hit the road.

You ring the bell 5 times. Jimin's gotta be home. Maybe he saw you through the camera and doesn't want to open up. But you need to talk to him, he has to know what happened. He has to know how urgently your help was needed. After the sixth ring, the door finally opens up. But it's not Jimin who's standing in front of you. It's his roommate. He shows you to Jimins door and you knock.

You knock again and again. After the fourth knock you open his door just to find him dancing in the middle of his room. The biggest wall is covered with mirrors. On the opposite wall hang like 5 guitars. There's a small piano in his room, too. Where does this guy sleep? There is no bed in sight.

Jimin doesn't notice you. He wears headphones, his eyes closed, he moves really slowly and elegant. He's one with the music. You could watch him like that all day. Him dancing is one of the most beautiful things you've ever set your eyes upon. Jimin looks like a god. He begins to turn quickly, like a ballerina. How can a human be this elegant?

All of the sudden he opens his eyes. He sees you in the mirror and turns around. Looking at you. You can't interpret his expression. He's breathing heavily, you don't know, if it's because he is angry with you, or exhausted from dancing. "What do you want?"
Okay, it's because he's angry. He takes out his ear plugs and squeezes his hands into fists. "Jimin, I'm really sorry. I didn't want you to worry so much about me. See, I'm fine. Well actually right now I'm not, because you're mad at me. And I get that. But you've been ignoring my texts for days now. Please stop being mad. I brought mochis. " You try your best puppy eyes while slowly walking towards him with the sweets in your hands.

"I thought you were dead or something."
You can't imagine what he must have felt like. We get a phone call, rush out and he doesn't hear from us in over 24 hours. Of course he's mad.
You will never forget the look on his face. It's pure anger. You never thought a sweet guy like him, could look like this. Could have this angry side to him.
You've been standing in front of him for two minutes, eyeing him. There is no way he's gonna forgive you. The look says it all.
You're about to turn around, accepting that you lost. You just lost one of your best friends, because you were too stupid to call him, or even send him a quick text. That's not so hard. Why didn't you think of that? You put away the mochis and head towards the door. „Wait." You turn around as quickly as you can.

The look on Jimins face has changed. Suddenly his anger is gone and only anxiety is left. It looks like his eyes water up a bit. "Never ever do that to me again, okay y/n?" He comes running towards you and hugs you as if his life depended on it. You smile at the cotton scent and the warmth of his body. "I promise." You squeeze him even tighter. You stand like this for a good minute, and you hope that it will never end.

"Alright." He pulls away and looks into your eyes, smiling. He is back to the old Jimin. The one who's smile makes your heart pound like crazy, just like it does now.

"Alright, what is going on between your sister and Namjoon-hyung?"
