soundless ☾jikook

⁑ eleven

it had been six days into the christmas holiday, and those six days had been the best of jimins teenagerhood.

every single day since his arrival at hoseoks house had been enjoyable, hoseok and yoongi were officially the kindest people jimin had ever met. hoseoks mother was incomparable to jimins, she was so accepting and welcoming, treating jimin like her own son. jimin would easily see how she and hoseok were related: smiles that outshone the sun: genuine kindness: easily excitable.

of course, jimin hadn't bothered contacting his own parents, not that they mattered to him in the first place.

it was christmas eve and the three friends were out shopping for gifts, also on a mission to dye their hair. jimin desperately wanted to change the silver colour, as much as he liked it, he knew it was making his already pale complexion worse, a different colour could easily bring out the slightly honey coloured tan that the silver took away.

hoseok energetically skipped ahead, pointing out the salon sign sticking out of the shop. a bag was swinging from his hand, he and jimin had gone shopping for gifts for yoongi, as jimin didn't know much about the quiet male he had needed some assistance. in the end hoseok had bought matching rings for him and yoongi, whilst jimin got him a coffee cup as apparently "he loves his americanos."

hoseok was a lot easier to shop for, all he needed was a sprite bottle to keep him going for a week.

currently they were inside a salon and looking at all the different colours of hair dye, yoongi taking an interest in a light mint colour, whilst hoseok went with a dusky rose pink. jimins eyes passed over the shades of black and brown but he shook his head, he wanted something eye-catching, something warm, something that made him glow.

after a gruelling 4 hours of doing nothing but sitting and waiting, the hairdressers were finally finished, admiring the work they had done.

jimin himself was stunned, he stared at his reflection for a good minute, taking in the golden waves with awe.

"holy shit jimin! yoongi, i love you, but jimin looks beautiful." hoseok gaped at the newly dyed blonde, yoongi managing a shy nod. jimin shook his hair and watched as the honey coloured curls fluffed up, complementing his deep burnt caramel coloured eyes and rosy glossed lips. as he expected his skin was lightly tanned without the silver taking the colour away, giving off a gorgeous glow.

jimin stared at hoseok and yoongi, hoseoks hair was now a silky faded rose colour, whilst yoongis was fluffy and a pretty mint green. dyeing their hair was obviously the right idea as the three boys were getting jealously stared at by the entire shop.

they trooped home after paying, jimin couldn't help but feel a newly found confidence blossoming inside of him, he felt like he was ready to face the world.

If only he really felt that.

the second jimin was alone in his room, his smile turned sour.

"i look fucking ugly."

he didn't bother to go downstairs for dinner, he would lie and say was too tired to eat. the newly dyed blonde closed his eyes and let himself drift off to sleep, ignoring the fact that he was still fully clothed.

i guess i'll never love myself.

the christmas holiday had gone by in a flash, christmas day came by and passed, jimin receiving a choker and earrings from hoseok, from yoongi was an oversized blue hoodie that jimin adored. the days after that felt like they never existed, and all of a sudden they were all packed up and heading over to platform 9¾.

jimin watched hoseok give his mother a quick hug before stepping back and walking towards the station, jimin and yoongi not far behind him. the three of them stopped outside the wall between platform 9 and 10, both of them giving jimin careful smiles.

"it'll be okay jimin, show confidence."

a sigh escaped jimins lips before he nodded and straightened himself out, putting on an unbothered face before walking through the wall into the train station. their sense of power immediately got other people's attention, and the station slowly grew silent as all eyes turned to park jimin.

he looked like a model, smooth honey skin, tousled ash blonde hair, pink gloss emphasising his slightly pouted lips, rose-gold earrings dangled from his ears, and a thin choker placed around his neck. he looked nothing like jimin, the old jimin.

he was an untouchable angel, wings could have sprouted out of his back any second and not one person would be shocked.

hoseok and yoongi shared knowing looks as the entirety of hogwarts began to fall into jimins spell, mesmerised.

the sound of a door slamming brought everyone into their senses, after a few seconds of silence a rumble of murmers started growing from the crowd.

meanwhile, jimin, hoseok and yoongi had stumbled into the apartment at the very end of the train, shutting the door behind them before collapsing into the seats.

"damn, that was amazing." yoongi gasped, "i actually got noticed for once."
hoseok nodded enthusiastically, "jimin, literally everyone's fallen in love with you, it was terrifying."

jimin nodded and hid his shaking hands behind his back, taking deep breaths, although that didn't last long as the door to their compartment was suddenly opened again, and a blurry figure launched themselves onto jimin, enveloping him in a bone-crushing hug.

"jimin what the hell? if i wasn't dating namjoon i would be crushing on you so hard!" squealed the voice of seokjin, jimin at this point was struggling to breathe. he noticed namjoon chuckle behind seokjin, giving jimin a playful wink.

"you're gonna get the whole school on its knees." namjoon smirked, but jimin only rolled his eyes and shook his head. "yeah right," was all he could scoff.

"do you mind if we hang out with you? neither of us want to go near taehyung again." seokjin smiled at jimin, who glanced at hoseok and yoongi before nodding.

soon the compartment was filled with chatter and laughter, everyone was getting along a lot better than jimin had expected. he smiled genuinely for once.

was this the life he had been searching for?
