Still With My Memories

24: Make A Wish

Author's POV
"Everything will be fine." Jungkook said squatting a little to meet his eyes. "I'm here with you."

A drop of tear ran down Jimin's face. The face of his grandmother suddenly popped his head "M..m..my H-almeoni..." He uttered. He hastily took out his phone to call his grandmother but it just slipped out his hand.

"Sh*t!" He cursed as he dropped his phone. He didn't notice his hands were shaking. He was afraid not only for his life but also for his grandmother. He was terrified how the criminals found his house and now, he's so afraid they might hurt his loved ones.

Beside him was Jungkook watching him earnestly. As soon as Jimin dropped the phone, he calmly picked it for him. "I'll dial her number for you." He said then held Jimin's hands to stop it from shaking. He was about to dial the number when Jimin suddenly speak.

"J-Jungkook ssi..." Jimin gulped and looked down with his uneasy feet trying to stand straight . "I-I'm... I'm so scared..." He uttered with heavy heart.

Jungkook knew how serious Jimin's situation is. He wished he can do something to lessen how he feels but all he could think of was to be with his side.

He gently squeezed his hand and looked at him with sincerity.

"I'm here... Jimin..."

"It's alri-" Jungkook was not able to finish what he was saying when Jimin suddenly leaned his head against his shoulder.

"Let me borrow your shoulder, Jungkook ah..." Jimin whispered choking in his own words.

Jungkook didn't say a word.

His expression soften.

He knew words were not enough to take away the fear he is feeling as of the moment. Instead, he gently patted Jimin's hair letting him know he have him.

They stay like that for a while.

After few minutes, Jimin seemed to calm a little.
"I'm sorry Jungkook." He said wiping his eyes.

"No... Don't be sorry... I understand how you feel." Jungkook heaved a sigh and patted his shoulder. His hands were light and gentle as he was afraid to put more burden on Jimin.

Jungkook took out his phone and dialled the police hotline to report what happen. "We should report this to the police." He uttered.

"I don't think it's safe to stay here. Do you have any other place to go?" He asked roaming his eyes around the house.

Jimin thought of his relatives but their house is way too far considering he'll be start working tomorrow. Besides, he didn't want to risk their lives too.

"A-a hotel... Maybe?" He shrugged he didn't really thought of staying anywhere as he was startled of what happened. "You know it's not safe for you to be alone, right?" Jungkook said looking at him with disbelief.

"I'm their target. I don't really want to risk others life." Jimin admitted. He sulked as he also felt helpless.

"I don't think it's a good idea though." Jungkook said worriedly.

Suddenly, an idea came up to him but he doesn't know if Jimin would accept it.

Jungkook fidgetted. He's biting his lips anxiously while his fingers played with his side pockets. He kept glancing at sulking Jimin.

"Will you... j-just stay with me?" He finally said almost sounding like he's proposing.

*Coughs*

"W-what?..." Jimin's a little flustered by the way Jungkook said it. "I mean... I'm suggesting... You can stay with me for a while... But it's still up to you..." Jungkook explained. He almost sounded he was rapping.
