Star 1117 - ATEEZ

_______________

It almost feels like being in a light cloud. There's no disturbances; no harsh winds or rough rain, even the glaring of the sun. It just feels like a perfect cloud, a perfect moment, a perfect scenery to be at peace with.

Jimin didn't want to get off this cloud. He knows the second he does, he will face the horrid pain on his body and the unavoidable human being that is his father. It just felt too soon to face reality, and Jimin likes feeling light like this.

So.... Effortless.

"So, having fun there little one?"

Jimin peers an eye open, smiling widely when he sees a familiar male with platinum white hair sitting beside him, enjoying this sunset view as well.

"Yoongi!" Jimin beams, instantly going to hug his friend tightly before pulling away, "Wait how are you here? Aren't I unconcious?"

The other nods with a little smile, "Yeah, you are. As how I'm here, well.... Who knows actually, ask your conscious that, maybe you feel lonely. Maybe I'm an angel and I'm here to convince you to wake up."

Jimin rolls his eyes to Yoongi's sarcastic tone and shoves him playfully, "Ha ha, very funny. Well, I'm glad you're here."

And he was.

No matter how nice he felt here in this beautiful cloud, he did feel lonely.

However it didn't get to the point that his fear went away.

The older smiles at Jimin, ruffling with the younger's hair before laying back down on the cloud with closed eyes, "You can't keep hiding up here forever kid, not matter how comfortable you are, you must face reality soon."

Just the thought of facing the world again, more problems and obstacles ahead, only gives Jimin a shiver of anxiety to rise up inside him. He has many things to look for, such as Jungkook and possibly rekindling his relationship with his mother. Now the thought of just.... Living, scares Jimin.

Whenever he tries to look for peace, something bad always happens and he ends up falling hard to the ground in despare.

Or close to dying in this case.

He's just.... Afraid to face it now.

What if the next time it's Jungkook?

Jimin can't live with the thought of something ever happening to him because of him.

"Can I just stay here a while longer?" Jimin whispers innocently, staring at the beautiful sunset ahead of him.

Yoongi stares at the heartbroken boy for a moment longer, taking in his dazed eyes and tiny figure before sighing heavily, "Of course little one."

And so Jimin and Yoongi stayed on this cloud. They chased each other around, counted the stars up at the sky, jumped around since Jimin knows he won't be able to do that the second he wakes up for a while. Jimin told Yoongi about everything that happened while showing a projecting visual to the sky, showing Yoongi how it went through his eyes.

Now seeing Jungkook's distressed face only made Jimin's heart tug in pain to how his lovely his doing now. Is he okay? Is he upset that Jimin hasn't woken up yet? Has he moved on to find another source of happines?

No, they're each other's happiness.

Just as much as Jimin needs him, he knows Jungkook needs him too.

After gazing at many more memories of his precious Jungkook, Jimin slowly turns to Yoongi, who's staring at those memories in awe, "It's sad that you won't get to remember these memories I'm showing you. This felt nice while it lasted. Thank you for always being me and Jungkook's guardian angel."

Yoongi snaps his gaze towards him, offering him a sincere grin before rubbing his back, "Always," He whispers and rises to his feet, "So, are you ready to wake up now?"

Jimin looks around this beauiful cloud with the stary night sky, smiling with a soft nod, "I'm ready."

And just like that, Jimin's entire vision is suddenly blinded by light. It feels almost warm if he wasn't completely drowned into sudden darkness.

What use to feel light now feels heavy, every part of his body. From the tips of his toes to the crown of his head. His stomach ached slightly but that was no surprise, especially when the rush of memories reached Jimin's mind all at once.

Jungkook.

Us leaving.

Father finding out.

Fighting.

Stabbing.

Pain.

And sudden darkness.

All up until now, where he hears the soft squeaking of shoes and the mumbling of a voice, whispering things under their breath but Jimin instantly.... Connected that voice.

Breathy and smooth.

Of his perfect ravenette.

Slowly Jimin peels his eyes open, almost instantly snapping them shut when he's met with the bright light from around him. After blinking a few times to adjust, Jimin's hooded eyes moves around to the ceiling, taking in the smooth white surface with not a speck of dust in sight. His body still feels heavy and weak, but he let's that faint voice lure him too search where it's coming from.

All he cares about is that voice.

That voice from-

"Jungkook."

The muttering and whispering stops, so did the squeaking of shoes almost instantly. For a moment Jimin panicked that he might've scared the beautiful voice away, but the second a familiar long haired ravenette comes to his line of vision, all limbs in his body instantly relaxed.

It's my lovely.

My Jungkook.

What a happiness to wake up to his presence.

"My angel," Jungkook chokes as his shaking hands slowly clasps Jimin's jaw, rubbing his skin tenderly with tears pooling his eyes, "M-My precious a-angel."

Jimin only smiles numbly to his Jungkook, slowly tracing his hand to Jungkook's and rubbing his hand with his fingers, "My lovely..... A-Are we finally going to be okay?"

Jungkook smiles softly to finally hearing his angel's voice after two whole weeks. Everyday Jungkook would still visit him, staying only for a while before being taken away. His case is still being reviewed over, waiting for Jimin to wake up.

And now the most anticipated moment has arrived.

Jimin is awake.

His angel woke up.

The ravenette was about to answer his question until the door to the room suddenly opens. Jimin's eyes drifts from him and to the two officers that entered the room, eying the scene cautiously.

Why are they here?

W-Why are they looking at Jungkook like that?

"Mr. Park Jimin, you're awake," The female officer says as she takes a step forward, "How are you feeling?"

Jimin suddenly grew nervous upon seeing their presence here, especially when Jungkook slowly lets him go and takes a few steps back with a head down.

Why isn't he next to me?

What's going on?

"I uh.... My throat just feels dry," Jimin whispers and gulps thickly, "W-Why are you here? Am I under arrest?"

The woman cops instantly shakes her head, "Oh no, don't worry, you're okay. Do you remember anything about what happened?"

Oh if he remembers?

That's something that'll be hard to forget.

The painful memories only strikes a painful nerve to Jimin's injury, slightly wincing back to the pain as if he remembered it's even there, "Of course I do, I didn't hit my head to forget," Jimin says as he places a hand over his injury.

The woman only glances at Jungkook and nods, "Alright, try to get some rest okay? Jongho will call in a nurse right now to check up on you," She assures him as the other officer left the room before offically turning to Jungkook with a head nod, "Your times up, we have to go."

Go? Go where?

Why is my Jungkook leaving with them?

Jimin's lips instantly wobbled in panic as he sees Jungkook goes up to the officer, practically begging her to give him a bit more time but she only says that they're on a time schedule. The second she took out her handcuffs, a loud squeak escapes Jimin's lips.

"A-Are you arrested? W-Why?" Jimin questions frantically, slowly sitting up but whimpering to the pain on his abdomen that made him lay back down, and he looks at the officer with teary eyes, "H-He didn't do anything wrong, please don't take him away!"

This isn't right! Why is he leaving!

He shouldn't be going to jail!

Jungkook slowly walks towards him with his own tears gleaming his eyes, "Hey it's okay baby. I'll be back, okay? I'll be back."

And Jimin fiercely shakes his head with his own cry baby eyes, "D-Don't leave m-me please. I-I just woke up and I-I'm scared that he will-"

"You're safe angel, you're safe," Jungkook assures him while placing a kiss against his head, "I promise I'll be back. You have to tell the detectives what happened, okay? Everything will be okay."

Jimin only shakes his head in his own sheer of panic as Jungkook is guided back by the officer, hands now cuffed to his back with cheeks streaming in tears. Jimin hiccups his own sobs as he reaches out to Jungkook with his hands as a child reaches out to their parent; desperate to have him beside him, but he's only lead farther and farther away.

Don't leave me!

He's coming to get me!

He will always come to get me!

"Please don't take him!" Jimin cries hysterically as he weakly removes the blanket and slides to the side of the bed, biting his bottom lip aggressively to the stabbing pain on his wound but he was determined as his feet touches the ground.

They can't take Jungkook away!

He didn't do anything wrong!

I still have a bit fight left in me, I can do this!

The officer instantly notices Jimin's intention and gets closer to him with a hand up, "Sir you will hurt yourself!"

"Let my Jungkook go! He's innocent!" Jimin wails painfully, as he tries to push himself off the bed, "My Jungkook is innocent!"

Jungkook instantly tries to calm down his panicked lover, "Jimin please it's okay. Just lay back down! Everything will be okay-"

"No!" Jimin snaps as he tries to get to his feet, officially off the bed, "You're staying right here-OW!"

Jimin's body is suddenly met with the ground because of his weak legs, sobbing lowly underneath his breath to the twisting ache on his abdomen, only feeling as if he's being stabbed all over again as he tries to push his body off the ground.

It hurts.

It hurts so much!

Jungkook turns his back to the officer, "Get me off these cuffs!"

"Jungkook we-"

"GET THEM OFF NOW! HE NEEDS ME!"

Without any further discussion, the cuffs are off and Jungkook practically flies off aid his boyfriend on the floor; who's going through a major panic attack with harsh wheezes escaping his lips.

"Shhh it's okay, I'm right here," Jungkook cooes as he gently brushes his hair away, letting his teary eyes meet Jungkook's face, "I got you angel, I'm right here."

Slowly Jimin began to calm down his breathing, wrapping his arms around Jungkook's neck while sobbing again his shoulder; crying the pain of his wound and the ache of his heart.

Jungkook is innocent....

His father can't win..

He can't win.

Carefully Jungkook carries Jimin and sets his body on the bed, making sure he's physically okay with eyes still trained on his just so Jimin can see he's here.

He's right here.

Jimin rubs his eyes from the tears with a pout on his lips as he continues to sob, "D-Dont leave me.... Please. Stay.... Don't leave my side."

"I will never leave your side, okay?" Jungkook promises, sending the cop a sorrowful look before turning back to him, "I promise I'll be right back, okay? You want me back right?"

The smaller boy nods solemnly as he lets Jungkook tuck him back into bed, feeling so much pain from his wound now after his fall. He's so stupid to have attempted to get off the bed, especially since he just woke up and his body has no energy to even hold his own strength right now.

But seeing Jungkook just being taken away, Jimin didn't know what else to do and his impulses took over.

Nothing hurts more than not having Jungkook by his side as he goes through this, especially since Jungkook is innocent in this whole mess.

"Then be patient for me," Jungkook cooes, cupping Jimin's cheeks so he could look at him, "In a few hours the detectives will come in and ask you questions okay. Tell them everything. Don't hold anything back angel, and then I'll be back here all day and night, okay?"

Once again did Jimin's lips wobble but nods slowly, understanding that none of this will be resolved until he speaks up. His Jungkook won't be beside him physically, so he has to be strong through this.

He has to be Jungkook's tough angel now.

So he leans in, pressing his lips against Jungkook's lips, hissing suddenly to the burn of the wound and lays down, rubbing his abdomen over his clothes, "I-It hurts."

Jungkook turns once again to the officer, who spoke on her walkie talkie, right when the doors opened to reveal the male officer and a nurse with a doctor.

The doctor being Namjoon's father and the nurse being his mother. They are the ones who's been on the dot making sure Jimin is okay. Jungkook is so grateful that his little angel is in good hands as of now, but it would be better if he was here now, just to be by his side through this.

He really owes Namjoon for this.

As the doctors talk to him, asking him questions, Jungkook goes to Officer Chungha, who only gives him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. Jungkook understands that they're breaking a lot of rules for him as of now, so he has to go with them.

He'll repay them for this somehow, but he's so grateful for them being so kind to him.

When Jungkook turns around to be handcuffed, the male officer, Jongho, shakes his head, "That's not needed," He says and nods his head, "Let's go."

They trust him enough to let him loose. He already showed his innocence with his affection with Jimin, what more is there to discuss or argue? It's evident the love between the two, and if Jungkook wanted to hurt Jimin, he would've done so by now.

He's innocent, as they always believed he was.

So they walk out the door, expect for Jungkook, who lingers back and turns his head back. Jimin is staring at him with his innocent eyes, pleading him to come back, fueling him with assurance that he will be back.

He will be back for his tiny angel.

"I love you," Jungkook mouths, fighting the need to cry right now.

He has to be strong for his angel as well.

Just as his angel is being strong for his lovely.

"I love you," Jimin mouths back, letting a soft tear slide down his cheek as the Dr. Kim check his vitals.

Jungkook sends him one last smile and closes the door behind him, feeling so relieved that his Jimin finally woke up.

He's going to be okay.

They're going to get justice, and they will be at peace again.

And this time, Jungkook will make sure nothing stands in the way of his happiness.
