     "Oh my god! Sorry, was I interrupting something?"

     Seokjin stood, hand on his hip with his eyebrow up, he emitted cockiness.

Jimin knew why.

     The two parted fast and smoothed out their aprons. The oldest started laughing.

     "You two should see your faces! I can't believe I actually caught you!" Seokjin joked.

     The two were stunned to silence. Were they actually just making out? Turns out they were. Had they regretted it? Turns out they didn't. But Jimin is panicking.

He just can't be gay

     His heart is beating faster than he thought possible and Jungkook became worried, wondering what he had done wrong.

     Jungkook was making the blonde rethink his whole life.

     Jungkook was concerned, seeing the older breathing fast, he goes to walk towards him.

     The shorter sees though and looks over, confusion and fear in his eyes as he backs away. Jungkook was hurt by his actions.

     He messed up. He shouldnt have urged Jimin to want it. He should have played attention to what he was doing. And now Jungkook was sad because Jimin was running out the store.

     Guilt racked through Seokjins body. He pushed him too far. He needed to apologize and started to run out the store too.

     "Hyung! He needs to be alone." The bunny boy stopped him though.

     "I'm sorry, Hyung. I shouldnt have let him kiss me. I- I just couldn't stop it."

     The bunny boy had invited the older to go to the back room so they could talk in private about their situation. The younger giving the older a soda and a seat at a small table. Sitting down himself.

     "No, he needed to. He needed to figure this out himself." Seokjin had replied.

     Jungkook tilted his head in confusion.

     "Let me tell you something, Jungkook." Seokjin says.

     Jungkook leans in, waiting for the older to speak.

     "At the moment, Jimin is going through an identity crisis. His whole life hes thought he was straight, but your destroying that belief. He lives in a Christian family, his father and his younger brother. His mother died about a year and half ago, she was found beaten and dead under a bridge because she was with another woman. The woman was found with her."

     "She wasn't cheating, her and Jimins father divorced, but she was dating a woman, and some sick monster took her life because of it."

     Seokjin failing to hold back his tears began to let them fall. "She was a kind, sincere woman. She is a part of who Jimin is today."

     Jungkook went to hug Seokjin, telling the older to let himself cry. It was strange. Jungkook seemed to trust Seokjin fast, like he has known him forever, been friends since day one. He was comfortable with him, but not in the same way as Jimin. He was comfortable with Seokjin in a family way, he felt like he was his actual brother.

     They pulled away when Seokjin was done and he continued what he was saying.

     "Jimin stayed in his room for what seemed like forever at the time. I can't blame him though, he lost someone very dear. He doesnt like to talk about her much, but I'm sure he thinks about her every second. No doubt he misses her more than we do."

     "So he joined a gang secretly, me and Namjoon found out about a month of him being in it. There he met Taehyung in it. The two were very close friends and still are. We didn't think Taehyung was a good influence for him at the time until one night."

     "Me and Namjoon were looking for him one night and he was being jumped by the other gang members, Taehyung was trying to stop them, clawing his way to Jimin so he could take the hits instead."

     "Me and Namjoon walked pass the alleyway when this was happening and saw it happening before we hurried to kick their asses. Namjoon is tall so he intimidated them, don't let it fool you, hes a real softy."

     "Taehyung was crying and clinging to Jimin when the others ran off, Jimin was still conscious somehow and suffered a broken wrist and several cuts and bruises."

     "After that me and Joonie accepted Taehyung in our friendship and the two promised to not ever go back to the gang. They havent been there since, I know."

     Jungkook blinked taking in the information. This was a lot.

     "Jimins father had been scared. Scared that maybe Jimin had also gotten beaten to death when we called. He was slightly relieved when we told him he was alive but was in the hospital, him and his younger brother rushing there."

     "Now, Jimin thinks that if he tells his father that he isnt straight then he would go crazy. Not let him go anywhere. Jimin is also probably scared too. For the same reason. He also needs a reality check."

     "Jimin also thinks that his father is homophobic, I've told him that me and Joon were dating and he only congratulated us when we told him. He didnt seem to mind at all, but to Jimin he seems homophobic. He would be so proud when Jimin finally comes out, but when he does you need to be there with him, I doubt he would come out any time soon since he is contemplating his life right now."

     Jungkook finally nods. Sadness and pain were flowing in his mind.

'How could someone this beautiful and kind go through so much?'

     Perhaps those who go through all this pain have the most beautiful soul.

Jungkook sure liked to think that.

     "Thank you for telling me Hyung, I have a few hours of my shift left and I have customers and I need to get to them."

     The two say their goodbyes and part after waving one last time.

Perhaps those who go through the most pain have the most beautiful soul.

     Jungkook thought more on the topic and told himself that after work he needed to text the blonde.
