Yoongi nods, feeling relieved. "That's good actually, that means they might not be following you."
"Following me? They? Yoongi what are you talking about?"
Sighing, Yoongi bows his head, then says "I think I'm being stalked Jiminie."
~
"Stalked?" Jimin echoes, as if the word doesn't sound right coming from his mouth.
A deep sigh rumbles from Yoongi's chest. "Yeah, there's a couple of guys, maybe a third one too I don't know... I keep seeing them everywhere, not enough to be obvious stalking, but enough that's it's weird."
"How often do you see them?" Too calm, Jimin's voice sounds off, like he's had to close off some crucial part of himself to he able to have this conversation.
"In the beginning, I didn't notice them. Then again, I wasn't going out much immediately after the change. But then over the last few months I've seen them two or three times a week... I think the strangest thing was that they have no scent... that's what made me notice them in the first place, why I've been more wary of my surroundings since."
"You're telling me you've been followed by weird men for months and you've only just told me?" Silver lines Jimin's eyes but it's not sadness that Yoongi sees there, it's cutting anger.
"Yes..." Yoongi says, slowly. He can see why Jimin's angry with him, he has every reason to be. Of course he had reasons for not telling Jimin, but he doesn't want to try to excuse himself, or invalidate Jimin's feelings with them.
Jimin hisses at him under his breath. "Min Yoongi, what the fuck-"
"I can explain, but either way I'm still a dick for not telling you." Yoongi says.
"Damn right you are." Jimin shoots back.
"...You've got quite a temper on you Min." Yoongi says, trying to diffuse the situation a little.
Jimin bares his teeth a little. "So what if I do?"
"Put your teeth away, we're not animals." Yoongi sighs.
"Oh but we are. Maybe you haven't embraced it yet, don't fully understand what it is to be a hybrid, but you'll understand one day. Do my teeth make you uncomfortable? Why should they? You have them too. But society raised you that way, to see them as a symbol of violence. Behaving like animals..." Jimin scoffs. "Animals fight for their homes, for those they love, to surive, not for meaningless things. It's humans that fight senselessly."
Yoongi bristles at Jimin's response. "I never said I thought any of those things, and that's not what you're really angry about."
"Okay. Explain it to me then. Did I not deserve to know your safety may be in danger? I live with you, hell I l-" Jimin's voice breaks as he cuts himself off, shaking his head.
Heart racing, Yoongi wonders what Jimin was about to say. But then he continues and the moment is gone.
"I'm your boyfriend... Why didn't you trust me with this?"
Anxiously, Yoongi runs his fingers through his hair, pulling on the strands. "I'm sorry, it's not that I didn't trust you, not at all. Initially, I didn't tell you because I put it down to social anxiety. In the past... sometimes I really struggled going out, saw threats where there were none, and I thought maybe those fears were resurfacing, thought I was just being paranoid. So I didn't want to worry you unecessarily. But then..." Yoongi sighs, his tail curling protectively around his wrist.
"Then what?" Jimin asks, a little softer than before as he takes in Yoongi's body language.
"I was scared..." Yoongi whispers. "If I told you, if I told the others, that would make it real... I wouldn't be able to deny it to myself anymore. It would make it real... And then... I don't know if I'd be able to make myself leave the house anymore..."
