Chapter Fifteen: Fixing the broken vase and maybe our relationship too.

"I don't know how you are still alive." Jimin smirked at the man sitting in front of him. "Tell me Jinsuk-ah. Why are you still alive and with us?" He asked.

Jinsuk clenched his fists in anger but kept silent as he didn’t want to annoy Jimin and beg to him again. But his silence is going to annoy Jimin anyway.

“I fucking asked you something, Jinsuk-ah.” Jimin growled.

“Y-you let me live, Mr.Park.” Jinsuk stuttered out, anger bubbling inside him.

It’s been weeks. And Jimin never let Jinsuk alone, always torturing him with his questions. He was so happy teasing Jinsuk and his studies to notice that Jeongguk hasn’t been around. Or maybe he did notice... From Jimin’s point of view, he never saw Jeongguk in weeks but of course, the handsome mafia leader always bid Jimin goodbye before leaving the home. He kissed his forehead goodbye, greeted him good morning with more kisses and wished good night, sweet dreams with more and more kisses. Like a child who can’t stop eating candies despite having a full stomach, Jeongguk couldn’t get enough of Jimin.

Was he in love?

Jeongguk wouldn’t use the term ‘love’. But he did like Jimin. His fierce personality. Cute eyes which often glare at others. And the same eyes looked like puppy ones as he would beg Namjoon for something.

Jimin is adorable, he concluded.

If he was in love, he wouldn’t go around hooking up with women…

The man can’t keep ‘that thing’ inside his pants and it’s sad.

“True.” Jimin hummed, smirking.

Namjoon who just entered the room, rolled his eyes when he saw the smirk on his younger brother’s face.

“This is seriously going to get you in trouble, Jimin. Please stop your stupid bullying.” Namjoon said and Jimin just laughed.

“Whatever you say, Hyung!!”

“That’s what you said yesterday,” Namjoon rolled his eyes. “This time, I hope you actually mean it, Jimin. Hyung will forbid you from leaving your room if this continues.” He added as a warning.

Jimin nodded obediently. “I have exams coming up anyway. So I would probably stay away from dear Jinsuk Hyung.” He said and Jinsuk internally rolled his eyes at that.

But why is Jinsuk here again? He would be able to avoid Jimin if he stays away from the Jeon business right?

Jimin insisted.

Jinsuk has been in the mafia for way too long and if he was thrown away now, he would obviously spill their secrets in spite. And Jimin didn’t want that. He thought Jinsuk wouldn’t be a problem if he was with them. After all he was a harmless little cockroach...but we never know when the cockroach will decide to spread its wings and fly to you.

If it wants, cockroaches can kill you. Cockroaches carry pathogens which can cause many diseases that can kill one. But what if the cockroach is the poison...as Jinsuk is continued to get tortured, the poison inside will eventually start spilling everywhere. Eventually killing you. [The fuck is wrong with me lol. Did I just use cockroach as a-- yes I did 😂😭]

Jimin was researching a topic he didn’t understand when the door to the study room opened. “Can I come in, Jimin?” The mannered man was of course Namjoon.

“Yes sure, Hyung.”

The tall man walked in, sitting on Jimin’s bed. “Do you miss Jeongguk, Jimin?” Namjoon asked and Jimin frowned in confusion.

“I kinda forgot about his existence.” He laughed. Jimin wanted to question Namjoon on why he was asking him the question out of nowhere. “And even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you. Cause that would hit my ego. I’m sure he wasn’t missing me. So why would I miss someone who doesn’t mis--”

“Jeongguk misses you.” Namjoon said, cutting the boy off.

“Oh.”

Jimin stared at his notebook displaying his neat notes. “So, do you miss him?” He just nodded, his cheeks heating up. “You can tell him that yourself.” Namjoon voiced his idea and Jimin sighed. “I get it. You are too egoistic to talk to someone who doesn’t come talk to you first.” He chuckled.

“That’s not it, Hyung.” Jimin mumbled with a pout. “We both had our first kiss on that day. And now I feel like he is purposefully ignoring me. Maybe he will throw me out because he didn’t feel anything during our kiss. I guess he didn’t have the heart to throw an orphan out like that so he kept me here for a while..and he will throw me out later.” He said, trying to hide his sadness.

“Did you feel anything, Jimin?” Namjoon asked, grinning. But Jimin couldn’t see him as he had his back towards him.

“Maybe I did. That’s why I haven’t thrown a dumbbell on his head and run away.” Jimin answered, cheeks heating up more, lips curving into crescent moons and so did his eyes as he smiled widely at the thought of the kiss.

“So you want him to talk with you about his feelings?” Namjoon asked.

Jimin nodded unsurely. “I-I am scared he wouldn’t have felt the same.” He mumbled.

“Why don’t you go talk with him, Jimin? He would probably be tired of waiting for you.”

“W-what? He is here?” Jimin asked, turning towards Namjoon who nodded. "I-I will just ask him for some guide book as my exams are coming. Nothing else." Jimin said to Namjoon before slowly walking out of the room.

Namjoon just chuckled. "Cute."

As soon as he was out of the room, he started running towards Jeongguk's bedroom, ignoring all the maids. He reached his room, clearing his throat before opening the door.

"What?" Jimin frowned when he saw the room empty. Bed done neatly as if no one slept there for weeks. He saw the bathroom door locked from outside which means Jeongguk wasn't in his bathroom too. "Hyung fucking lied to me!" Jimin cursed out.

He slowly retreated away from Jeongguk's room, so ready to scold Namjoon. But then he heard a voice from his bedroom. Jimin walked towards his bedroom, peeking in to see Jeongguk growling out some song lyrics.

"J-jeongguk."

"Oh!! Hello belladonna." The older laughed as he stood up. And before he could continue, Jimin ran into his arms. Jeongguk blinked in surprise, not expecting that. He was expecting Jimin to yell at him or ignore him. This was far from it.

"Will you throw me out?"

"Is that what you are worried about?" Jeongguk laughed again. "And no. I won't throw you out. I haven't even got a taste of your ass. We kissed and it was amazin--"

"You think so?"

"What?" Jeongguk asked in confusion.

"You think the kiss was amazing?"

"Yes I do." Jeongguk was now left astonished. Was this the same Jimin he talked with a few weeks ago? "Are you okay, belladonna?" The college boy looks up from his arms.

"I need some notebooks and guides for my coming exam." Jimin said, moving away from Jeongguk who raised his eyebrow. And of course, Jimin knew what Belladonna meant, so he didn't question it.

"I liked you before." Jeongguk confessed as he walked to Jimin's night stand.

"And?"

Instead of finishing his sentence and filling Jimin's curiosity, he opened the desk, taking out a vase. "You fixed it for me." Jeongguk said, holding up his mom's favourite vase. The one broken weeks ago.

"It didn't take me any effort and was pretty easy. I'm used to sticking things anyway. Chae always broke her stuff and would cry so I fix it for her. You are no special." Jimin replied and Jeongguk grinned.

[Flashback inside a flashback lol]

Jeongguk slipped out of his coat, unbuttoning his cuffs. It was 12. He just got home and was informed that Jimin didn't eat and left to sleep.

According to the maid, Jimin dismissed her as he wasn't hungry.

"Oh dear! Make a plate for him." Jeongguk splashed his tired face with water, eye bags painted under his droopy eyes. He hasn't slept well in weeks. There have been too many black sheeps in his farm…

Jeongguk grabbed the plate from the maid before making his way to Jimin's room. He opened the door silently, raising his eyebrow when he saw the lights were ON. Doesn't Jimin sleep in complete dark? Well, that's how Jimin slept for the past weeks. Jeongguk was scared the first time he came to visit Jimin as it was pitch dark inside with pictures of skulls and scary stuff sticking around. And there was a bell thing hanging from the ceiling.

Jeongguk's first thought was, 'Of course Namjoon fucking helped him get these stuff. I'm sure he has all of this hung up to prevent ghosts from attacking him. And according to him, I'm the ghost.' He rolled his eyes at that time.

He peeked in, finding Jimin sitting at his desk. "Why does this vase has so many fucking designs?!" Jeongguk heard.

What vase?

"I think it's your mother's vase. Mr.Park asked the broken vase to be taken to his room. And he ordered me to bring super glue."

Jeongguk turned to the man who bowed. "Way to scare your Alpha, Taemin." Jeongguk said even though he didn't even flinch at the sudden voice. Taemin bowed again, glue still in hand. Jeongguk rolled his eyes. "If I go in there, he will probably pull my hair and kill me. So, you go inside, give him the food, and advise him to sleep. If he refuses to eat, tell him I asked him to eat." He instructed and Taemin nodded.

"Sure, Mr.Boss. I will make sure Mr.Jeon eats."

This made Jeongguk grin. "What did you call Jimin?" He asked and Taemin tilted his head in confusion.

"Hmm Mr.Jeon?"

"Right. He is Mr.Jeon. Now go and give him the food." Jeongguk grinned and Taemin just nodded, walking inside Mr.Jeon Jimin's room.

Jeongguk watched as Taemin placed the food in front of Jimin. He was expecting Jimin to reject it but instead, Jimin eagerly took the plate. "YOU SAVED ME!!" Jimin shouted happily and Jeongguk could only chuckle before leaving the door.

[End of mini flashback within flashback]

[Continuing with flashback of JIGGUK]

"Sure, I'm no special." Jeongguk agreed. "So, you wanna go out, Belladonna?" He asked.

"I'm busy. You are not the only one who is busy here."

"I heard you sleep till 12 on weekends. And till 10 on weekdays." Jeongguk hummed and Jimin stared at him with wide eyes. "You go take a bath after eating. Then watch TV for hours before taking a na--"

"Okay! I'm not that busy...but as my exams are coming I won't be able to come with you." Jimin cuts him off, embarrassed that Jeongguk knows his schedules.

Jeongguk chuckled. "I will be free for a while I think. We can go out this weekend. If you are free." He suggested and Jimin nodded.

"Alright. Let's go on a outing this weekend. I'm agreeing only cause I wanted to go outside." Jeongguk laughed at that.

"Sure, Jimin."

'And it's also to fix our broken relationship.'
