Jimin's Messages

Taehyung:
Tiny

Taehyung:
Are you awake?

Jimin:
Hard to fall asleep

Jimin:
You ok?

Taehyung:
Yeah..... Me and Woosung didn't fight

Jimin:
Hmm

Taehyung:
Is Minho still over?

Jimin:
No, he left a while ago

Taehyung:
Babe, I'm really sorry okay

Taehyung:
Impulsive move on leaving you while you weren't well

Taehyung:
I should be taking care of you

Taehyung:
It's just..... If I'm being honest, you make it very difficult for me to be able to care for you

Taehyung:
You never want to be cared for, so whenever I try you just brush me off and I don't know what to do about it

Jimin:
Tae..... Listen

Jimin:
I'll admit, I'm a complicated person

Jimin:
Being emotional is not easy for me, or even caring for myself

Jimin:
I just don't know how to accept it

Taehyung:
Then how do you accept Minho's help and not mine?

Jimin:
Well it's not because I let him either

Jimin:
He just pops up or does things on his own, but not because I ask him to

Jimin:
And if I'm also being honest, I appreciate that from him

Jimin:
Because I find it hard asking for help when I know I need it

Taehyung:
I just don't want to pressure you or make you feel uncomfortable, that's why I don't try to force it so much

Taehyung:
I'm outside, can I come in so we can talk about this?

Jimin:
Yeah

To Build A Home - A Cinematic Orchestra

Taehyung steps into the apartment, making sure to close it behind him with a lock as he removes his shoes.

Everything is quiet here, and empty.

But not for long.

Soft foot steps captures his attention, looking up to see Jimin leaning against the doorway of his room with arms crossed.

A sensitive nerve must've nudged his soul when he didn't notice any bruises on Taehyung's body, relaxing completely as Taehyung approaches him.

The taller man didn't even think so much when he outstretched his arm and carefully eases it over Jimin's shoulders, around his neck and brings him to his body while pressing a peck to the side of his head.

It seems as though whatever frustrating anger or annoyance Jimin once felt faded away completely, melting right into his boyfriend's arms as he wraps his delicate hands around his torso and brings him tightly to his body.

"I'm sorry baby," Taehyung murmurs, tracing his hands to Jimin's jaw and guides his face so he can face him, "How are you feeling?"

Jimin can never be too angry to his emotional Tae, no matter how fired up he makes him feel sometimes.

So he twitches a small smile, letting his hands wrap around Taehyung's wrists with a gentle caress on his skin with his thumbs, "Better, I'm just glad you're safe."

Taehyung frowns deeply to this, "I'm sorry I made you worry."

"You're here now, that's all that matters."

Feeling too overwhelmed and touched by Jimin's words, he glances down to his lips and leans in for a slowly kiss. A kiss that traveled all the way from the mouth directly to the line of the heart, forcing it a few beats to skip. The type of kiss that leveled up slowly the giddy tickles in one's stomach, the goosebumps to flood their skin - a kiss meant to be felt.

And they both felt it all.

Jimin wraps his arms around Taehyung's neck while the man traces his hands down Jimin's spine and to his ass, gripping it tightly before stroking down to his thighs - hoisting him up easily and carrying him to the couch.

Despite feeling their bodies growing warm and hot by the heat of this moment, they knew right now is not the time for some make up sex.

That's why Taehyung only sat down on, Jimin straddling his lap, and just holds him close with a hand clasping over his wrist to hold his boyfriend in place.

They kissed a bit more, but nothing that feels like it'll go further.

Just a simple, delicate kiss to fuel their souls with each other.

When they finally broke apart, Taehyung just delicately presses a kiss to Jimin's forehead and then leans to his neck, resting there with a deep inhale of his tender sent.

That was mixed...... With another scent?

Hm?

"I'm sorry if I don't let you help me."

Taehyung takes another deep inhale through the nose, the scent he caught onto now easing away.

Maybe he's the one that smells different?

New lotion?

Leaving it be, Taehyung ease back and looks at Jimin, "It's okay. I just want to be a good boyfriend, you know? But it's hard sometimes because I just don't know what is crossing the line and what isn't."

Jimin nods slowly to himself by hearing this, leaning to Taehyung's shoulder and resting his forehead against it, "I'll do my best to be better at communicating. I just want you to be able to do things without always just waiting for my approval. If I'm bleeding on the floor, are you just going to ignore me because I said I don't need help?"

Taehyung hums back to his, nodding back, "Take the initiative, I got it. I also want to say that what I said through messages..... It's not that I'm bothered with you accepting Minho's help or that I don't trust you. I just wished you had that bit of comfort with me too."

"And I wish you acted without having to wait for me to tell you to."

Fair point.

Taehyung sighs deeply to this and holds Jimin closer, "Okay, communication is key, just as promised."

"Mhm, and trust."

"Trust for sure."

"Also," Jimin pulls back, looking at Taehyung, "Why do you smell like Woosung if you guys didn't fight?"

Taehyung furrows his eyebrows, suddenly connecting it in his mind like a light switch what was that lingering smell radiating off Jimin.

Minho.

Minho's scent.

Hell, Taehyung has been around him for years, and even fucked the guy.

Of course he would know how he smells.

It's a mainly yet pine type of scent - easily one that can get anyone to down down on their knees for.

"Why do you smell like Minho?"

The two remained silent, staring at each other as both unsure of what to say and waiting for the other person to speak.

But before any of them spoke, both of their phones suddenly went off at the same time.

Guess this will be a conversation for later.

The two break off eye contact, reaching for their phones to see it's a FaceTime call from Jeongguk.

"I'll answer," Taehyung said, leaving Jimin to just put his phone down and lean back to Taehyung's neck with arms around his shoulders as he looks at the phone.

Taehyung went to get comfortable and leans back against the couch, immediately reflecting a smile when Jeongguk popped up on the screen.

There seems to be a lot of noises and people where he's at right now, but the second he looked down to his phone to see his boyfriend's faces - his face immediately shifted.

And he smiles widely.

"Oh shit was I interrupting?"

Both Jimin and Taehyung didn't show the awkwardness that they obviously felt by that question, so Jimin just laughs it off, "You would be curious wouldn't you?"

"Obviously since I'm not there and I want to have fun too," He responds, easing the camera down to show just his profile from a under the table perspective while he looks around, "I fucking lost Taemin. This guy is going to stress me out."

Taehyung couldn't help himself from blurting out a laugh, making Jimin even giggle too, "How the fuck do you lose a whole mafia boss?"

"Well there's a lot of people in this airport, you'd be surprised," Jeongguk huffs, adjusting the cap on his hair, "Our flight to PR leaves in thirty minutes. This guy better hurry the fuck up and come to the gate - DUDE!"

The screen from Jeongguk's side is suddenly a blurred and chaotic mess as it looks as though he's chasing off someone, leaving Taehyung in fucking tears in his laughter while Jimin amusingly watches the screen.

"Dude! Where the fuck were you?!"

"The bathroom! You did not have to chase me down!"

"Our flight leaves in thirty minutes!"

"I'm aware!"

Jeongguk evidently rolls his eyes and looks at the screen of his phone, "Found pretty boy, he was just doing touch ups in the bathroom."

"Shut up - who are you telling this to?!"

Suddenly camera shifts, the two boyfriends now seeing Taemin looking at the screen.

And..... A lot happened in that spam of literally 10 seconds.

Taehyung shifts in discomfort because of the still cut on Taemin's lip

Jimin's smile drops when Taemin eyes looks between the two, feeling a sting in his chest because of the last thing they spoke about in the amusement park.

And lastly Taemin looked as though his heart shattered for the fifth time already, probably in smaller pieces.

Why exactly? He wishes he knew too.

But he tore his eyes away the screen and looks away, the camera back to facing Jeongguk - who only looks at Taemin with a blank stare.

"That right this is the reason why you need to accomplish my task! This literally torturing!"

Jimin's face twists, "What task?"

"Hm?"

"You said he needs to accomplish a task?"

"Oh..... Um...... I c-can't hear you....... Connection sucks - I'll call you guys later!"

"Jeongguk!"

And the call suddenly dropped, leaving the two to stare at it with a lips parted in shock.

What the hell is Jeongguk up to?
