Chapter 42: It's Been A While
Jimin pulled the door open and there stood the android he longed to see. Just the sight of him left the human to embrace the warmth that was given to him instantly in contrast to those eyes that never allowed his body to move even once.
"Jimin, are you okay?" Jungkook asked as he moved in, closing the door behind him and bringing Jimin into a gentle hug. "Do you still feel afraid?"
"No... it's gone now. It's like it escapes the second I tell you and when you arrive..." Jimin claimed, hugging Jungkook against his body and dwelling on the idea a bit longer. "Now that you're here, I'm no longer afraid... but it's odd how-"
"This is all that matters... I'm so glad to hear that, I missed you," Jungkook whispered against Jimin's ear in order to interrupt him instantly. Carefully he ran his hands down Jimin's back and planted them against his waist, such a distraction was enough to occupy the mind of the human before him. "Did you miss me too?"
"You weren't gone long enough for me to miss you, Jungkook!" Jimin replied with a giggle while he kept his arms wrapped around his partner. "I'm so glad you're here..."
"I can tell that you are," the creation whispered in return. His uneasy stare never seemed to turn away from Jimin at all. It was such a glare even Jimin found it to be a little too familiar. But with the calm and sweet rasp to his voice easing the fear in Jimin's mind, Jimin hoped to silence all those doubtful thoughts in his head that longed to jump onto every conclusion in order to feel safe again.
Once Jungkook's lips met with Jimin's, the human smiled softly and closed his eyes. All while Jungkook did not. The android fixed his gaze onto a few items within the room that he knew carried the micro cameras he decorated the house with sooner. As he looked at the very few items, his eyes shifted into a green hue while the slight smile of his lips never dared to fade away into the kiss.
"Mh... oh Jimin," Jungkook said in between the kisses. Finally leaning over until his hand set behind the back of Jimin's head and his body caged the vulnerable human underneath him once they made it to the couch. They remained kissing over the cushions, and Jimin of course, enjoyed every second to that moment. By now, his infatuation grew into interest and that was blooming into the beauty of love now. In his arms, he was safe from anything that could harm him, especially the idea of being alone never crossed Jimin's mind ever again.
"Yes, Jungkook?" Jimin whispered breathlessly. Even the charming tone to his soft and breathless whispers were assorted perfectly like notes to a beautiful arrangement in Jungkook's ears. Jimin was always depicted as something beautiful to the creation, a beautiful flower in an empty field that bloomed just for him and only him.
"Jimin... you... don't think I'm a danger to you, right?" Jungkook asked curiously as he deepened his gaze over at his partner.
"No... no, my Jungkook, you're not a danger to me," replied the human. His gentle hands cupped the creation's face softly and his nose pressed against his. "What made you think that?"
"I was just... curious..." Jungkook concluded. With just the turn of his face carefully to the left, his lips kissed the palm of Jimin's hand all while his own grasps remained planted against the couch. "I don't want you to be afraid of me or think badly of me... you don't, do you?"
"You're just overthinking... I see you as mine..." Jimin replied and moved his head in closer to whisper against Jungkook's ear all while the android carefully kissed the palm of his hand. "Don't ever think you're a danger to me because you're not, okay?"
"Okay..." Jungkook answered and met eyes with Jimin. Only this time, he carried a gleam in them. No matter how hard he tried to hold back his tears, that was something he had no control over. He could hide his emotions and change the color of his eyes within seconds but he could never control the amount of tears he could muster when Hoseok's words seemed to poison his thoughts.
"Jungkook..." whispered the young man. He knew the gleam in the Android's eyes meant something more than just the concerning stares he tended to give any other day. This time, things were different, Jungkook's eyes no longer scared the human at that moment when it was nearing close to a tear escaping those round eyes of his. "Are you okay?" Jimin asked. Never really noticing the lack of times he asked that question towards his partner.
"Jimin... I'm just worried..." Jungkook whispered as a tear began to form within his eyes. But just before Jimin could wipe it away with his own thumb, the android grabbed the human by his hand and pulled his sleeve to cover his hand completely. There, Jimin understood that he couldn't touch Jungkook's tears with his own hands. So then, Jimin began to dry the tears of the android before him with the cuffs of his sweater.
Jimin was unaware that Jungkook still dwelled on the many things Hoseok told him before. He wasn't so sure Jungkook could cry like this but yet again, the android never failed to surprise him. Jimin remained underneath the android, drying every tear that the creation could muster and help avoid sparks from emitting from his gaze. Unaware that if Jungkook began to cry continuously and emit sparks from his eyes, it would only cause him to flinch from the shocks he was given each time he cried. Punishing him for expressing his sorrowful emotions.
"I should be enough for him... but why does that seem so hard to believe?" Jungkook thought in his mind as Jimin tried his best to dry his endless tears. "He deserves a human... so I should become that human for him. I need to become this... my life will be so much better if I do... everything will be better. Hoseok will actually appreciate me, Seokjin will notice me for once and I won't have to hide and then Jimin will love all of me completely... I can sleep and dream with him. I wouldn't have to leave him at all and I can eat whatever we cook and exist just with him."
"He's crying so much... what's gotten into him? What is he thinking about?" Jimin curiously thought and used his other sleeve to dry the other eye as he softly pressed a kiss over the Android's forehead. "Jungkook, whatever you're thinking about... whatever doubts that are in your mind right now, just know that I'm always here for you, my Jungkook... I don't know your pains, but I want you to know that I'm here with you to protect you too. Not every protector has to be strong, it has to crack sometime and that's okay. Whenever you want to talk... talk to me..."
Jungkook took a second to process Jimin's words before nuzzling his face against Jimin's neck the second he knew his tears came to an automatic stop for now.
"Jimin, I don't want to be weak towards you... I just want to protect you and care for you. I want to, Jimin... please let me... I'm strong enough..." Jungkook rambled on and closed his eyes, pressing his head over Jimin's chest but still being mindful of the human so he still kept his knees and hands planted on the couch to support his body.
"This creation, so strong yet so weak... I worry about you... how could you ever be a danger to me?" Wondered the human as he hugged the Android's body. Not wanting to dwell on the warnings Taehyung gave him just earlier, but like Jungkook, they just couldn't leave his mind either.
During the same time, Taehyung left Jungkook's house with a different destination set on his database for this hour. His mind and face was still as his legs carried him. Walking further away from the neighborhood he associated with Jimin until he reached the main street. A few humans with Gynoids and Androids walked amongst him, but his eyes still kept latched forward until he took a turn and found the department from afar.
Right before the huge building of the android department, was an expensive parked car along with many humans standing outside, screaming and holding up signs of proposals and hearts with Kim Seokjin's name written all over it. Securities stood at the entrance trying to block anyone that could enter the department and only androids were allowed in without the securities pushing them aside.
Taehyung took no other second to hesitate as he continued to act on autopilot; not acknowledging anything as if he was a dead man walking since of course, a human didn't approach him or was in his space to start a conversation. Taehyung kept one thing in his database and that was to make sure things were handled when it came to the discovery of that unpredictable android Jimin cared so much about.
"Welcome, V-40024," spoke one of the security guards that happened to be an android who handled the fans with care. As Taehyung walked by, he looked forward and the doors pulled apart just for him.
At the entry, he moved his head to an eye reader that scanned the little binary code within the blue tone of his Irises. After he did so, he approached the front desk and smiled at the android sitting before him.
"I need repairing, I have a defect," Taehyung mentioned as the android looked up at the android and typed away on the computer. Not breaking eye contact even once as he did so.
"You're in luck, Kim Seokjin is present today in case any android is severely impaired. Although, I don't think he will be fixing today. Depending on your defect, another android will adjust it for you. Please wait for a room to open. I will alert you once a room becomes- a room has become available for you, please report to room 1-B to your right down the hall. Thank you," Spoke the android so suddenly as Taehyung bowed and walked away. Having the eyes of the other android follow his body until he was out of sight.
Just then, Taehyung took a turn to the room and stepped in. Walking towards the surgical steel table sitting at the center with dual monitors tucked away at the corner and many wires awaiting to be plugged into his database. As Taehyung awaited an android to repair him, he sat over the steel bed and looked forward at the ground without another word coming out of his perfectly shaped lips.
"Hello, Extrovert type V-40024, Kim Taehyung," Spoke a deep voice that sounded familiar to the android, yet, he kept his data from searching forward in order to make a connection to where he heard that voice from before. "What seems to be the problem today?"
As the voice of the android continued to fill the room, the door closed right after, yet, Taehyung remained facing the opposite side of the room in contrast to where the other android stood. Limiting him to what he would see.
"I am in need of a scanner repair. That is all," Taehyung responded and heard the familiar, shy, and subtle little chuckle that caused him to begin connecting with his database in order to find out where he had heard that familiar laughter before.
"That's good to hear, Kim Seokjin is here to make sure all the androids are running smoothly. If I can repair your scanner quickly, maybe you will be able to catch him today," continued the familiar android. "It won't take that long."
"I'm glad..." Taehyung replied. Being relieved to know that he will be repaired but also being looked into will open the opportunity of the other android finding the existence of Jeon Jungkook in his database. This was the main reason why Taehyung dragged himself out here today especially when Hoseok warned him not to. The unpredictable android was something Taehyung couldn't risk acknowledging and not reporting due to the fear of the endless dangers Jungkook could cause.
"Let me prepare you to be looked into, then," The android spoke before stepping in front of Taehyung. Instantly, Taehyung caught his eyes the second the other stepped right in front of him. However, Taehyung's gaze couldn't widen in reaction to who he saw standing before him. He had to wait until that feature was discovered within him too.
His beautiful eyes remained latched onto the small android with bright blue eyes, pale skin, a charming and gummy little smile that became too familiar to him. As Taehyung began to take this moment to observe this android and connect to his own database before his check up, he finally recalled who this creation truly was.
"Min Yoongi... it's been a while."
