~Mine only~

"What the fuck, Jimin. Can you stop acting like you are my babysitter? I can take care of myself pretty well on my own. I don't need you to breathe down my neck every time I want to get out and have a little fresh air." Taehyung gritted his teeth. He felt how he started to get annoyed seeing himself forced to swallow the blond-haired guy's presence... Again.

"After what happened the last time I left you alone, do you think I would do the same mistake again? Wherever will you go, I will come as well." Jimin stubbornly said as he puffed his cheeks but secretly he was happy to go to a club with Taehyung. He felt lonely on his own in his big apartment and it wasn't like there were many opportunities to go out with Taehyung.

Taehyung threw a glance in his direction and then down at Jimin's hand holding tightly his arm. He let out an annoyed tsk before pulling his arm away.

"When will you stop doing that? In fact, when will you understand how much of a pain in the ass you are to me?" Taehyung's eyes were fuelled with intense anger and it made Jimin inhale deeply. His heart sank.

"I guess I don't want to understand," Jimin whispered but Taehyung didn't hear him as he already reached for the club's doors.

Jimin was lost in his own misery when he bumped into Taehyung who suddenly stopped walking.

His eyes widened, his lips parted in shock as he was trying to process the unfortunate coincidence.

Jungkook.

The moment Jimin realized what was happening and in what situation they were finding themselves all of a sudden, his gaze instantly moved to Taehyung. Jimin's features betrayed terror. The weight that he'd been carrying in his heart and mind the last few days becoming more intense, now more than ever.

He was scared, not because Taehyung might lose his shit again, oh no, but because of the huge possibility of finding out what had happened between him and Jungkook behind his back. Everyone was aware of his feelings for Jungkook, no matter how much he tried to hide it. Or deny it.

Jimin felt guilty. The moment his eyes stopped on your features, he also started to feel like shit.

His heart ached.
That night was such a stupid thing to do. He knew Jungkook so well and he has never thought of him as something more. But it happened. As much as he tried to forget about their encounter and how it ended, to put it at the back of his mind, he just couldn't. It kept on haunting him just like a horrible nightmare which, unfortunately, it was not.

He could throw the blame on the universe that brought Jungkook in his way when he needed someone the most. When he needed someone to caress him and want him.
He could invoke so many excuses for why he has thrown himself in the arms of no one other than Jungkook. But his excuses wouldn't change the unforgivable truth.

Taehyung would definitely hate him if he would come to find out. Jimin's eyes saddened, and his lips trembled slightly. Not that he wasn't hated already by the one he was in love with.

"Jungkook?"

Taehyung was lost for words because of the shock of seeing Jungkook coming out of nowhere just to land in front of his face.

Jungkook's face turned pale, but you were too shocked by Taehyung and Jimin's sudden appearance to give importance to Jungkook's limp body beside you and the motive behind it.

I am screwed. Jungkook whined in his head as his eyes fixed Taehyung's emotionless features. I never was able to read this guy's next move.

Jungkook bit his lip. From Jimin's expression only, he could understand that he stepped on a mined field. So, he concluded that it was better to keep his mouth shut. The only thing he could hope and pray for was that Jimin kept their friendly chatting to himself.

He had fucked his girlfriend in the past, now his best friend. It was something quite hard to put up with, right?

Jimin's gaze shifted to his feet, feeling suddenly dizzy. He just stood there waiting for Tae to maybe grab Jungkook and call the police. Or maybe yell something in his face. Punch him or stab him was another possibility. We were talking about Taehyung here after all.

You, on the other hand, couldn't think of anything except grabbing Jungkook's wrist to pull him behind you. You already witnessed the disaster that came each time after those two crossed paths. Now you were in public, surrounded by hundreds of people. You couldn't let things get out of control.
Your eyes were fixed on Taehyung all this time, your body stiff, but even so, ready to take action regardless of his reaction.
But no one expected what Taehyung did next. And that was... to walk past you and Jungkook and into the club as nothing happened.

Jimin's face fell as his eyes followed Taehyung's retreating figure. He bowed quickly and ran after him leaving you and Jungkook dumbfounded.

Jungkook let out the air he was holding in his lungs for some time now and he almost collapsed in relief.
But neither of you knew that Taehyung saw something he never wanted to be aware of.
He ran his fingers through his hair as he headed straight towards the bar needing something strong to drink.

He could see everything on Jimin's face. The blond-haired boy wasn't good at hiding things. Especially when it came to his feelings.

Taehyung made a sign to Yoongi to make his usual drink as he flopped on the bar stool.

"So, tell me, Jimine. Since when do you and Jungkook do more than glare at one another?" Taehyung asked calmly as he encircled his fingers around his drink.

Jimin's eyes widened under Taehyung's raised eyebrow and unnatural smirk.

"Did he give you what you needed?"

Jimin's gaze dropped to his shaking hands on his lap.

"Wow..." Taehyung let out bitterly. "You sure change your feelings fast."

Jimin's eyes saddened.
"Yeah. At least he looked at me."

Taehyung threw a glance at his friend before bringing his drink to his lips. He smiled amusedly.
"As if I would look at you like that. It's nothing to see here." He softly laughed at the sight of Jimin's tears.

"If you hoped to see me jealous, you thought wrong."

"We need to talk, Jungkook." You heaved a long sigh.

As soon as you entered Mingyu's house, you threw your white purse on the couch and wrapped your arms around Jungkook's waist, taking him completely by surprise.

"I really need you to understand some things once and for all. We have to stop coming back to the same issues which threaten to break us apart or worse... Destroy us. I think you know what I am talking about. I know you feel the same way."

"Trust..." Jungkook sighed the word out as he melted against you. Being surrounded by you, his worries, fears, and anxieties were already forgotten.

"I think you know very well about my trust issues from the very beginning, Y/N. I think you can clearly see that I tried and even improved a little on the way. I am doing everything I can so, please, don't ask for more."

"And you did well in such a short time."

"It has been years."

"For me, yes. But not for you. Don't forget that it has been four years since you awakened and only a few weeks since you started to fight against your fate with your own powers. Until now you stayed locked up inside the darkness of your mind, running away from reality.
It's huge progress, Jungkook. Don't ever forget that. You changed for the better compared to the very beginning of your awakening. Everything that had happened to you must feel like it happened yesterday not ten years ago.
I am proud of you, Jungkook. But from now on, before doing something on your own, talk to me first."

"Just like you did before deciding on meeting that guy?" Jungkook said ironically.

"You know very well how stubborn you can get. I can't take a risk when it comes to the possibility of losing you."

Jungkook closed his eyes and his voice became serious. "And it's ok if something happens to you?"

"I can take care of myself."

Jungkook pulled your head gently until your foreheads met.
"But I want to be the one who takes care of you." He said in a deep voice.

Everything inside you tingled at his nearness. "And why's that?" You asked teasingly.

You felt him smile against your lips.
"Because I am in love with you."

"And?"

"And I care about you."

"And?"

"And I am crazy about you."

"And?" You laughed shyly.

"And you are mine."

"I don't belong to anyone." You cutely buried your face in his neck.

"Now you do. You're mine and no one will take you away from me."

"Hmm, ok. I am yours if you are mine and mine only, " you grinned wickedly.

Jungkook laughed sweetly.
"I want only you. And... I was only yours since I first laid my eyes on you."

You raised your head and looked into his eyes. "Do you remember the first time we met?"

"How could I not? It was the first time in years when I saw a little light in my dark cell."

"And you still had the nerve to threaten this light with a knife." You smiled warmly seeing his expression change drastically. He lowered his gaze and bit down on his lip troubled.

"I was scared of the power you had over me."

"Then why did you come back after you killed Jin? You should have forgotten about me."

"I was angry and frustrated.
Because of you, I was forced to confront my miserable life once again. They wouldn't shut up. Their feelings for you were something too much for someone like me to handle and I wanted them to stop. I wanted to kill you so I could keep running away."

"But you didn't."

"I couldn't. Even when I was pinning you against the wall of your bedroom, with a knife at your throat, even then, you still searched for something good in me. And your feelings reached me. Each time you would do something to make my heart race. You can be so annoying."

"So, I am a pain." You pouted as your fingers traced the line of his jaw softly.

Jungkook smiled almost instantly, his smile reaching his eyes. His arms tightened around you, bringing you closer. You were captivated by his mesmerizing dark eyes and you couldn't help but lose yourself in them.
He tilted his head and caressed the tip of your nose with his. "Hmm," he hummed as an answer to your question, a sly smile lingering on his lips.

"Ugh... I can't believe you actually admitted that I am a pain. I hate you." You puffed your cheeks struggling to get out of his tight embrace.

Jungkook laughed softly as he grabbed the back of your head and brushed his lips against yours making you melt under his gentle touch.

You closed your eyes and searched his mouth, wanting to feel his lips again.
He really smelled good. It was something regarding his scent. It made you feel safe and at the same time it turned you on. His smell was always sexy to you.

"Damn, " Jungkook whispered against your lips. How can you smell so good? Even when you sleep, I can't stop myself from searching for your neck and smelling you endlessly. You are driving me crazy."

You smiled and tangled your fingers in his hair and brought his lips to yours once more.
"Shut up and take me already." You bit your lip under his burning gaze.

Jungkook's fingers pressed against your flesh. You arched your back and pressed against him. And you heard his breath hitch.

Who would have known that you could be like this? I wasn't wrong about you. I knew what I was fighting for.

You are special.

And you are only mine.
