unwanted marriage ֶָ֢ ✔

09 : comfort.

after their hot session, taehyung told irene to go home so he will have time alone while waiting for jimin. yes, he's gonna wait for jimin.

as it was now 9 pm, he got worried since the boy is not home yet. well his parents will blame him if anything bad happens to jimin.

he sighs and turns off the television and stood up to wear his coat. he also grabbed the keys before he went out to look for the small boy.

"why am i even doing this.. i can just let him die there alone and tell my parents that it's his fault for staying out for too long." he talked to himself.

he keeps looking around until he spotted someone who got pulled in a dark street from the distance. he doesn't know who the person is but he's sure that something is wrong.

he follows where the street is, then he saw the stranger about to r*pe jimin.

taehyung's eyes went wide and he immediately threw a punch on the man's face out of anger.

he keeps punching and punching the man until he fell unconscious. when he's satisfied, he stood up and turns his attention to jimin whose churled up on the floor while crying.

taehyung sighs and pulled jimin in a warm embrace, rubbing his back with his big palm.

"let's go home."

when the two arrived home, taehyung helps jimin sit on the couch. he sat beside the small boy and stared at him.

"stop crying now." taehyung said but in a soft voice.

jimin nodded with a sniffle and looks at taehyung. "t-thank you- hiccups f-for saving me t-taehyung hiccups." jimin mumbles.

taehyung hummed and caressed jimin's hair. "do you want to shower?

jimin nodded and shows the older his cute small smile. "m-mhm."

"then go take a shower. i will uhm.. cook for us i guess." taehyung said and jimin nodded, going to the bathroom.

when jimin left, taehyung sighs loudly and laid down on the couch.

his mind got flooded by jimin. maybe yoongi is right. it wasn't jimin's fault that they got married to each other. it's their parents' fault. not jimin's.

"maybe i should stop acting like a bitch and try to be friends with him." he thought.

"wait, friends? with a loser? no." he scoffs and crossed his arms before going to the kitchen to make simple dinner for them.

ㅡ

"thank you for the food, tae." jimin shyly said and waited for taehyung to eat before he starts to dig on his food.

taehyung nodded and starts eating. "you can eat now, you know?"

"o-oh yes." jimin finally starts to eat the ramen that taehyung made.

it's just a simple dinner but he appreciates it a lot. knowing that taehyung tried to cook for them even though he doesn't have much experience and ideas about it and just because jimin is not on the right condition right now because of what happened earlier. perhaps, taehyung is worried for him?

"h-how did you found me by the way?" jimin looks at taehyung whose sitting beside him.

yes, taehyung took the seat beside jimin. jimin is shocked too when taehyung suddenly sat beside him. he was about to stand and sit on the chair in front of them but taehyung pulled his hand and insisted him to just stay.

"saw you being pulled by a stranger in a street. you should've fought him, you know? instead of crying there and being gay."

jimin gulped and looks down. he thought that taehyung at least cares about him already, even only just a tiny bit.

i was wrong. he thought.

"y-you're right. i-i should've fought him a-and stopped being this weak." jimin sadly said. taehyung's eyes widened and looks at him.

"i didn't mean it. i mean you could at least defend yourself or called me."

"it's alright taehyung. d-do you care about me now? you wouldn't even c-care if that person killed me, right? y-you just had no choice. that's why you saved me. admit it." jimin's voice got shaky.

taehyung sighed and nodded. "yeah now what? can you just keep eating?"

"y-yes. i-im sorry." jimin can't control it anymore. he lets out a sob and covers his whole face with his small hands.

he's starting to like and trust taehyung because of his kindness but now it's slowly fading.

"j-jimin. don't cry." taehyung said which made the smaller feel a bit calm. at least taehyung didn't called him a loser just because of crying over him.

"i-iㅡ just eat the ramen, okay? it will make you feel warm since it's really cold right now." taehyung stirred the ramen which is on jimin's bowl for him to eat.

"please, just stop crying and eat." taehyung said, looking at jimin.

jimin finally stopped crying. only sniffles can be heard. he looks at the bowl of warm ramen in front of him then to taehyung. "i-i thought you didn't care.."

"well i think you gained my trust now so maybe i do care." taehyung shrugged.

jimin smiles softly at taehyung's words. he doesn't want to believe it fully yet because he knows that taehyung will just take it back again later or tomorrow.

with a soft sigh, jimin starts to eat the ramen that taehyung made for him.
