*previously*

as soon as jimin saw taehyung walks out from the practice room, he gets up, thinking that taehyung needs someone now. jimin was a step late, he saw jungkook, rushing towards taehyung. he froze, thinking whether he should follow them or not. he looks at jin. jin then gets up and holds jimin's hands.

"its okay. let's go. taehyung needs us" jin said while holding jimin's hands

jimin smiled back and follows taehyung and jungkook with jin's hand in his. he follow jungkook until he saw jungkook enters one of the rooms. he stood outside froze when he heard what jungkook said towards taehyung. he felt broken. he wanted to cried but he's too shock to do that. he felt all his muscles weaken. he was too weak for this. he was about to fall when jin hyung caught in. he felt jin hugs him telling him it's going to be alright. he cried as much as he want from behind the door where jungkook was happily hugging taehyung.

crushed is what jimin felt now. 

****************************

right after he left the building, he wanders around. he told jin and namjoon that he'll be late. jin was worried but namjoon told him that jimin needs some time alone. 

jimin walks along Han river by himself. he saw couples walking holding hands. he thought to himself 'if only i can do that'. he wanders around, inhaling the fresh night air. he stands to close to the bridge as if he could fall down anytime. he stares into the water. his tears are falling down slowly. as slow as his painful heart beating. 

"you know, the water is so clear and beautiful at night. but it might be hell cold of you jump in" 

jimin looked up and he saw a man next to him. 'dashing' jimin thought to himself. he just looked into the guy's eyes. 

"hey, i'm jinyoung. uhhh park jimin right?" jinyoung held out his hand in hope to have a handshake with jimin. 

jimin just stand there staring blankly to jinyoung. of course he knows him. the junior of JYP, Park jinyoung of GOT7. he just never talk to him before. and now, jinyoung suddenly talk to him? why?

"ummm yes... i'm jimin... jinyoung sshi... what are yo--" 

"call me hyung. be comfortable." jinyoung cuts jimin's words and give him a smirk. one sexy smirk to be honest. 

jimin smiles towards jinyoung. he showed jinyoung his beautiful smiles that makes jinyoung stunned for a second. 

"jinyoung hyung, what are you doing here? i see you are alone." jimin being polite to jinyoung. even though he wants to be alone, but he did not want to turn down someone nice just because of his stupid feelings. 

"hmmm... well, maybe i was destined to meet you here?" jinyoung playfully talk to jimin. he knew jimin was not okay by the looks on his face earlier. he doesn't know why, but his heart tells him to approach the boy. jimin look so fragile, so soft that jinyoung just wanted to hug the boy, comfort him. but he can't possibly do that as they just met for the first time. 

"hahahaha hyung... you're impossible." jimin laughs as soon as he heard jinyoung's words. he felt warm with jinyoung even though this is their first time talking to each other. 

"so, why are you here? alone to be exact. someone as beautiful as you shouldn't walk alone. monsters might caught you tonight, you know?" jinyoung kind of trying to make jimin laugh again because he loves jimin's laugh so much. it's like music to his ear. 

jimin laugh again to jinyoung's words. "i just.... uhhh taking some fresh air..." he look away. doesn't want jinyoung to notice the changes on his expressions. 

jinyoung was not fool nor blind. he can see, he can hear from jimin's tone. something is wrong with this little boy. 

"emmm... well, i'm taking a walk too. mind if join you?" jinyoung starts to show his interest towards the younger boy. no matter what happened, he would never let this boy go with sad face tonight. 

jimin hesitated at first but he doesn't know how to decline the offer. 

"uhh... hyung... i... i can't be long... namjoon hyung would be mad and jin hyung would be worried. i should be getting back soon and--"

"just a cup of coffee and i send you home." jinyoung shows jimin his car keys assuring jimin that he'll take the younger boy home. 

jimin knew he can't decline anymore. well, maybe having a company was not a bad idea after all. he smiled at jinyoung and give him a nod.

"nice! so, let's go?" jinyoung pulls jimin's hand so that he walked side to side with him. 

jimin blushed at jinyoung's action but at the same time, he felt comfortable. like he known the older for a long time. 

jinyoung really does not have any intention to let jimin go home early. before they went for coffee, jinyoung insisted to bring jimin to a park where they showing a street show. after that, they went for a coffee where they talk a lot about themselves. sometimes jimin would laugh and giggles at jinyoung's stories and silly jokes. it makes them having a very nice night out. when jimin was about to head home, jinyoung asks jimin to stay a bit longer as there will be a firework shows nearby Han river at midnight. jimin was not sure whether he should stay or not. but he had no choice as jinyoung sneakily took his phone when they had coffee just now. jimin didn't mind though. for a while, he forgot about everything. he just had a very nice, happy and comfortable night with jinyoung. 

at 1 am in the morning, jinyoung send jimin back to his house. 

"hyung, thanks for sending me back. i had so much fun! thank you again." jimin looks into jinyoung's eyes and sincerely thanked him.

"jimin ah, would you like it if.... if we go out again? i mean not like a date or something but ummm... hangout?" jinyoung stuttered at his own words. 

jimin just smile and give a nod. as soon as he opens the car's door, jinyoung held his hand. 

"how can i contact you without your number little 'manggaetteok'?" jinyoung puts his phone in jimin's hands.  

jimin laughs again and gives jinyoung his number. after that, he thanked jinyoung again before stepping out of the car. he waves jinyoung a goodbye before stepping into the house. jinyoung waits for jimin to enter his house safely before drives away. 

jinyoung was not stupid. he knew he had interest in that boy. even though he just met jimin, but he felt like he wanted to see him more. he wanted to know more about jimin. he looks at his phone and smiles. he knew he had a chance. 

***************************

"jimin where were you? i'm worried sick!" jin running towards jimin and hugs him as he saw jimin walks into the living room. 

"hyung, i'm sorry. i was caught by a 'monster'"  jimin smiled towards jin. 

jin was confused. jimin left with tears in his eyes, and now he's back with smiles on his face. 

"ji- jimin ah.. are you okay? what do you mean by monster?" jin was so confused. jimin just laughs. 

"i met jinyoung hyung just now. the one from got7. we kind of spend our time together just now." jimin didn't have to lie. he really had a great time. 

jin was releieved. at least jimin was happy. 

"okay now, just wash yourself and go to sleep." jin push jimin to the bathroom with smiles on his face. jimin just laughs at jin and walk towards the bathroom. as soon as jimin step out of the bathroom, he walk straight to his bedroom. 

"jimin ah wait!" jin yell and caught jimin's hand. jimin was quite shock at jin's action. he looks at jin's eyes asking if there's anything wrong. 

"uhhh i.... would you like to sleep in my room tonight? i'm not feeling at ease... maybe i just want to talk to you tonight... can you sleep with me?" jin looks down on his toes. doesn't even dare to look jimin in the eyes. 

"ummm... okay hyung. is there anything wrong? are you okay?" jimin asks in concern. 

"just wanted someone to talk to" jin was battling with his emotions. 

'jimin ah, i just don't want you to be sad again. if you walk into the room and saw jungkook sleeping with taehyung, your heart will be crushed again. no! i won't let that happened!' jin was having a war with himself in his mind. he just hope that jimin would sleep with him tonight. 

"okay hyung... let's go to your room." jimin held jin's hand tightly giving him strength not knowing that the one that should be strong is himself. 

jin just wanted to protect the fragile dongsaeng right now. he just wanted the younger felt happy at least for tonight.
