020. Lies
Jimin:
Asshole, did Jin talk to you after...?
KNJ:
NO. He isn't talking to anyone and YOU DON'T GO NEAR HIM YOURE A FUCKING MONSTER. DONT YOU DARE GO NEAR HIM.
Jimin:
You know what happened that night can happen again and this time it could be your body lying on the ground. My suggestion would be to keep your low life ass down in fear.
KNJ:
Okay. I haven't talked to him. He's scared. And you ruined my last ever chance to be with him. Also, don't hurt us. If you want I can do your job for free, you can take back your money.
Jimin:
I'm going to visit him. I want to
apologize. You're coming with me. And yes, do it for free. Give me my money back.
KNJ:
You don't understand do you? You can't apologize about such a thing. I've had my experience with criminals and I'm sorry but you're ruthless and the scariest. Jin would have a panic attack seeing you. He is fucking traumatised. Stay away from him if you really care so much about him.
Jimin:
Dick. no one asked. I said, come to the bar in an hour.
KNJ:
That's it? That's all you say?
Jimin:
Oh yeah I forgot. 🖕
Jimin was gonna shit his pants. He had realised one thing in his life. He was much confident in text than in real life. As all the bravery and cockiness had drained out the moment he had realised he was just a few steps away from Jin.
Fear was crawling up on him. Fear of rejection and the fact that his one and only friend might of him than be scared of him. He would never see Jimin in the same light as before. And of course, Namjoon didn't help much. He said that Jin would pass out upon seeing Jimin again.
The only comfort he could seek was that he had given Jin a couple of months. He had given him distance, with much effort because he truly missed his friend.
"Yoongi..." He helplessly let out, turning towards the said man who was standing beside Jimin. "He won't accept me. He won't...I don't wanna see him being scared of me."
Then there was Namjoon standing on the other side of Jimin, just gawking at the two of them. He hadn't realised it that night between the mess, but this Yoongi was the same person he had taken out information on and given it to Jimin.
What the actual-?
"Don't worry, baby, it will be alright. There will at least be a closure, okay? Remember that."
What the actual fuck?
Namjoon's brain was literally hay wiring. Why was Min Yoongi babying a man who was taking out information on him and his gang mates?! And possibly trying to kill them?
Was this...was this Jimin's plan? To make Yoongi fall for him and murder them one by one? Like he murdered those people in the dark alley?
Oh my god. I can't let him meet my Jin.
He couldn't let such a ruthless monster meet his Jin. What if Jin was a part of his plan? What if Jin was another target?
His mind was rushing with thoughts. He had to save Jin.
"Do you know he's trying to kill you?!"
Namjoon blurted out, thinking that maybe exposing Jimin would anger Yoongi and then Yoongi would kill him. Hence, Jin would be safe.
Both of the shorter men looked at Namjoon.
He couldn't back off now. It was out.
"Yes. He's trying to kill you!" He said again. "He's paid me to give information on you and your best men. He's also paid me to find out your recent gatherings. He's playing with you! He's planning a massacre against your estate."
Namjoon waited. Waited after blurting out what he called the truth. But then nothing came. Both of the men just stared at him with bored expressions. As if he had not just thrown an elephant to the room. As if he had not exposed Jimin that he was trying to kill his so-called lover.
"I know." Was all Yoongi said before turning to Jimin again. Namjoon's jaw was touching the fucking ground when Yoongi cupped Jimin's face again and pecked his lips tenderly.
"I'm here, okay, little mob?" Those were Yoongi's words after Namjoon just- what the-?
"Let's go inside." Yoongi said and started moving towards the bar. When he was a little ahead of Namjoon and Jimin, Jimin turned to him.
They had a staring contest for a good minute before Jimin smirked.
"Low blow, bitch. Try harder." Jimin said before following Yoongi.
Upon reaching the bar and spotting Jin, is when Jimin's heart stuttered. The realisation that he was losing things, relationships that he cared about. He was losing them.
He had already failed once in building his relationship with Taehyung. And that's because he was a fucking robot before he met Yoongi. He doesn't remember smiling, ever.
But now, with so many emotional awakenings, he didn't want to lose anymore of them. He only had a two people he cared about, and he might be killing one of them, so he didn't want to lose another.
It would be a lie to say that those thoughts boosted up his motivation. On the contrary, when he saw Jin, he just wanted to disappear. There wasn't much. Jin was wiping the bar counter with a mop, and he looked rather glummer than usual. Like his light that brightened Jimin had demolished. His face looked ashened and Jimin couldn't make out the rest. He just knew Jin wasn't himself. He wasn't smiling at the people, he was barely even paying attention to the world around him.
And Jimin couldn't help but blame himself for all of it. For the fact that he took Jin's smile away. He took away the glow, the positivity that radiated and made literally everyone's day brighter.
It was really a privilege to have Kim Seokjin. And Jimin took that for granted.
"I-I don't..." He whispered, feeling like throwing up. "I don't think this is a good idea."
"Yes, I think the the same!" Namjoon yelped out, trying his hardest to not tear up by seeing his man, goddamn his man, so sad.
"No, little mob, what did we talk about? We don't want to have the question and regret of what could have happened if you would have tried one more time."
"Look at him, Yoongi!" Jimin shouted. "He's... He looks like he's been through hell. Because of me. I don't want to-"
"When did you even meet Jin? Did you find him through me-?"
"Can you just shut up?!"
"No, I'm bloody sure I need to know what the fuck a psychopath like you has to do with my boyfriend."
"First of all, I'm not a psychopath. I'm a sociopath. Taehyung's a psychopath. And SeokJin is not your boyfriend. Not anymore."
Namjoon stayed silent for a moment. "That was very hard on me." He said, referring to the last sentence.
"Face the fucking truth!"
"Why don't you do it?! Jin is scared of you, as every fucking human would be."
"Excuse me?" Yoongi said, putting his hand on Jimin's shoulder protectively, offended by Namjoon's comment.
"Except for you, everyone is scared of him." Namjoon corrected himself.
Jimin exhaled heavily, turning to fully face Namjoon.
"Listen, asshole, I don't know about you or anyone in that matter, but Jin means everything to me. He's my Jin."
"Your Jin? Your Jin? Excuse me?! How the fuck is he yours? Are you two- are you two-?!"
"Oh my god, no! We're not romantic and I'm done explaining to you." Jimin said. "We should wait until he goes into whatever room is behind the bar...for the workers. That would be isolated. So no scene would be created."
Both the other men nodded at the youngest.
"Okay, let's go."
"This isn't a mission, you know. He's a person." Namjoon said while following Jimin towards the back.
"Yeah well I don't really know anything apart from doing missions so shut up."
"Liar." Yoongi snickered. "Do you wanna know what else he knows? He knows how to take me in-"
"I d-don't wanna know. And you shouldn't be telling me. Your information and weaknesses towards me can be used against you."
Jimin clicked his tongue. "Yeah but Jin loves you, so there might be something which makes you trustable. Although I don't find any, you don't do my work fast enough."
"Why do you even want information from me when your boyfriend is right in front of you?! Why don't you ask him- wait, Jin loves me?"
"I mean, he talks about you all the time."
"What- what does he say?"
"He says that you broke his trust and that you lied to him, but he thinks that he could work with a second chance."
Namjoon groaned. "And you ruined that chance."
"I want to fix it more than you want to! We're here- oh fuck." Jimin halted his steps when he saw Jin right there, in the room. There was another person with him and both of them were just looking straight at the three criminals who had - illegally so - barged into the room.
"This room is only reserved for the staff, kindly get out." The woman who was with Seokjin spoke.
"Jin..." That was all Jimin could whisper out, their eyes were in contact and he could see Jin's eyes wavering and twitching, as if he was scared and blocking back something.
"Samantha, go out." Jin said to his co-worker, his eyes not leaving Jimin's. "Please go out."
The lady, Samantha looked between the four men gazing intently at each other before scurrying away from the small changing room.
Jin inhaled sharply, his eyes already welling up with unwanted tears of fear.
"What are you here for? To kill me? To remove the last evidence of the night?"
"No, I-"
"What are you, Jimin? Is that even your name- I don't know-"
"I'm Jimin." He said, voice frail and drained out, taking a very small and cautious step towards the man who used to be his best friend. "And I'm sorry, I didn't-"
"No, let me speak. I've bottled up so much. And I don't even care anymore if you kill me after this, I'm just done suffering silently."
Jimin gulped and ceased from whatever shitty excuse he was going to give just then.
"The three of you. You lied to me. All along I was surrounded by criminals while trying to make the world a better place." Jin whimpered just after finishing his sentence, looking away from them to gather himself up. "Namjoon, is a hacker. An year into the relationship and I don't know it. I find it out from somewhere else. Jimin... You were my best friend. You were the little baby, the sunshine, I can't even see you in that light anymore. And Yoongi... You've hurt me the most. All the noble thoughts and I trusted you, that you'd keep my best friend happy. And I still don't know what are you. You knew it all along that Jimin was a...murderer. What are you, Yoongi?!"
"I'm... I run a... Mafia estate."
Jin chuckled sadly at that before breaking into complete tears, hiding his face in his hands and sobbing in the middle of the room. The three men holding an apologetic expression towards him.
"Tell me how have I not ruined my life by letting you three in. Because I don't h-have anyone else." He cried more. "How do I protect myself? How do I know if you're all not danger?"
Jimin wanted to make his suffering stop. He wanted to do something, he wanted to hug the elder and soothe him. But the fact that has sunken to his bones that he was the root reason of his best friend's misery kept him grounded to his spot.
"Jin, I cannot change what happened. I cannot say it wasn't my fault and nor can I provide you the fake hope that I'm a good person." Jimin said in one breath. "But I can tell you...the person you make me. You make me happy, good. Whatever I showed to you, it wasn't a lie. It is the person you bring out in me. And I'm sorry I ruined it. I just want to apologize I'm not expecting you to take me back."
"And Yoongi... I know he broke your trust too but, we were trying to protect you. We just wanted to be your friends, like normal people. Trust me, Jin, there's no other person I'd call if I'm in an immediate danger."
Jimin took a deep breath and looked at Namjoon.
"As for him... I don't like him, but he was ready to give everything away just by the mere thought about you being in danger. He loves you. The rest choice is yours."
Jimin looked down to the floor.
"I don't choose what becomes of me, Jin. I have been forcefully drugged and...trained to do this all my life. I can't- I- I can't control it at times. I don't do it for fun... It happens."
"You could've just told me before." Jin said and Jimin lets out a laugh of disbelief.
"Would you have accepted me as your friend if I would have?"
"I would have tried to..."
"You can try now..."
"Then tell me your secrets. I don't care if I'm in danger after that. I just you want to be as much emotionally open to me as much as I'm to you."
"I'll try... And I'm sorry, and I want you to know that...I'll protect you."
"Okay." Jin said, a hint of fear still in his eyes/
"Okay?"
"Okay."
