Time Runs Out | Jikook

Jimin sees Tae in the the hallway the next day. Tae locks eyes with him and immediately walks up to him, giving him a hug. "I don't know what happened to you, but hopefully one day you'll trust me enough to tell me."

Jimin gulps and grabs Tae's arm, pulling him through the hallway. He walks him into the boys bathroom where it's more quiet.

He whispers his secret in Tae's ear.

Tae pulls away with wide eyes. "Wait, can you repeat that."

Jimin sighs and leans back in, whispering again.

Tae's face turns red. "Who's dad was it?"

"I'm not gonna tell you."

"How old were you?"

"... 10."

Tae hugs Jimin again. "Tell me who it was so I can beat them up."

"I'm not telling you. I didn't even tell Kook." He pulls away. "Don't make me regret telling you about this... And please don't make a big deal out of it."

"I won't. I promise."

Jimin gives him a half grin. "I need to get to class..." He walks out of the bathroom and walks to class with his arms crossed.

Jungkook looks up from his phone. "I'm sorry, what?"

"I told Tae my secret."

"What? Why?"

"He facetimed me last night asking about it and I saw him in the hallway today and he asked me again. I swear to God if he tells someone, my life is over."

"But... Why did you tell him? I thought you hated him... Sorry, I'm just confused."

Jimin thinks for a minute. "I think he just pushed me enough and I did it so he would shut up. I don't know... And I don't hate him. I hate the memories that I associate with him."

"If you're serious about him pressuring you to tell him, I'll yell at him. That's not okay."

"Yeah, he pressured me, but I didn't have to tell him. I think I honestly just wanted him to know... I don't know why I wanted him to know."
