Everything seemed green and cold as he was pulled inside by grabbing a hold of his head. He gasped and flapped his hands as the air was blocked away from his body system for a second.

"Jungkook!" Jimin made his way towards the younger with a scowl on his face. The said guy was immediately let loose and he was out of the water again. "What do you thing you're doing?" Jimin growled at Eun Woo who was having a fun time with his best friend just mere seconds ago. "What's wrong with you?" Eun Woo shot back, his hands on his hips. Jungkook looked at the both of them and let out a sigh with a shake of his head. "Where were you so late?" Jungkook asked Jimin pulling him away from his friend. Eun Woo just rolled his eyes and walked away from them and joined Taehyung who was by the stream. Jimin stared at his boyfriend without uttering anything as he felt a lot of emotion going on in the pit of his stomach. He knew that Eun Woo was just playing around with Jungkook but seeing the younger in that state made his stomach twist in a really bad way. He was suddenly afraid of the truth. The fact that he haven't told to his boyfriend yet. His dark truth.

Jungkook called for his senior again and the next thing surprised him a bit. Jimin pulled him in for a hug which was immediately followed by a series of gasp and hoots. All the boys were by the stream to clean themselves up after the paint ball game. Jungkook hugged Jimin back with a blush. "Is everything alright?" He whispered by his ear to which Jimin nodded and huffed out a shaky breath as the autumn wind brushed by their wet bodies. They slowly pulled away from eachother but held eachother's hands. Jimin stared intently at the junior as his brain and heart was brimming with the guilt of hiding his true identity from him. He knew he won't be able to hide the fact that he is not a normal highschool senior with a bad and cold attitude but that he actually has a bad and cold life. A really dark life which is a total contrast with Jungkook's happy, colourful life. He didn't know how the younger would react once he tells him about his life outside the school campus. Would he accept him or will he leave him? Well, it wouldn't be a surprise if Jungkook leaves because who would want to associate with a gangster's life. Jungkook saw sadness filled in his boyfriend's eyes as he stared back at him equally but he wasn't sure as to why? Did he do something stupid again to upset him? Was he upset because of what Eun Woo did to him not so long ago? Is it because of the game? Whatever it was, Jungkook was feeling sick too. He didn't want to see Jimin sad or angry not even for a split second. He knows that Jimin doesn't opens up much and he was okay with it. He knew it would take time and he was more than glad to wait for Jimin.

"You have something to say to me?" Jungkook broke the cold silence and squeezed their intertwined hands. Jimin nodded his head slowly and faced down at the water body covering their bottoms. He gulped before meeting eyes with Jungkook. "You trust me right?" Jungkook chewed on the insides of his cheeks and nodded. He knew that that's not the actual thing that Jimin wants to talk about. Jimin felt his heart beating louder and faster than a drilling machine. Jungkook waited for Jimin to continue and talk it out to him but guess the elder wasn't up for it.

"Let's get you out of the water. It's getting cold."

The two best friends plopped down on the ground with heavy breaths. The paint ball match just ended and everyone were instructed to wash up by the stream. The sky above them was void of any heavy clouds but the sun didn't beamed its power either. "I win by 34-20." Taehyung proudly announced as he turned his head to the side to look at the defeated face of his friend. Jimin nastily rolled his eyes and sat up making Taehyung to look at his muddy back now. Neither of them spoke as both of them were lost in their own thoughts. Jimin was thinking about many different stuffs that Taehyung would make him to do while the latter was having a hard time thinking about his loyalty. He never imagined getting his life engaged between crude gangsters but now here he was stuck as a loyal best friend and a loyal servant of the Park family.

"Speak!" Taehyung was pulled out of his own dilemma. "Uh-" He gulped a thick layer of his saliva as Jimin bored his stare on him. "Do you really like Jungkook?" He asked in a low voice being careful that no one heard them even if they were away from everyone. Jimin chuckled and looked away from him with a blush on his cheeks. "Yeah." He proudly replied with a smile probably thinking about the younger. "How much? What extent would you go?" Jimin turned around with furrowed brows to face Taehyung who backed away a bit. "To the extent of killing my own self." He muttered and turned away and nodded to confirm both Taehyung and himself. Yeah, guess I like the kid that much. "You love him?" Taehyung inquired again making him groan. "Oh God Tae! Yeah, I love him. I don't know what or how my feelings escalated so fast but whenever he is near I feel contented and happy. His bunny smile makes my heart melt, his continuous rants and talks makes me forget all the worries in my life." Jimin turned back and faced his friend who was carefully listening to each of his words. "He was the first person who wasn't scared of me or ran away when I spat at him. Even you were scared of me when we first met but Jungkook was different. He might've had doubts about me but still he was willing to embrace me. And guess, that's why I fell for him." He ended with a shy smile which was the first time Taehyung have seen on his face and he knew that there was no way he'd be the reason to break them apart. He's going to be there for them. For Jimin and Jungkook.

"Chim," Taehyung's voice turned from soft to cold and serious making Jimin to straighten up a bit. "It's about Mr. Park." Jimin's ears perked up at the mention of his so-called father. "What about him?"

"He called me in not too long ago." Taehyung nervously fiddled with his fingers. "He asked me about Jungkook. He asked about your relationship with him." Jimin had his blood rushing over his head. "He sounded quite serious and I think he's up for something. Even though I said that you both were nothing but acquaintance it didn't faze him a bit. It's like he knew I was lying." He let out a shaky breath. "He told me not to tell you about our meeting but guess I am more of a loyal friend then a loyal servant to the Park household." Jimin immediately pulled his best friend in for a hug. He knew that it was dangerous for Tae to go against his father's words but he was willing to give it up for him and he was more than grateful for such a friend like Taehyung.

Taehyung slowly pulled away from Jimin and smiled at him. His signature boxy smile which always earned a smile back from Jimin. "I want you to look after Jungkook." Taehyung squeezed Jimin's shoulder to which Jimin nodded.

"I will."
