Chapter 56: A grim atmosphere
Around 5:25 AM, Jimin was still asleep. Dreaming like always and holding Jungkook close. In his dream, he was holding Jungkook close on the bed while darkness stirred around them in the dimmed room. Just outside those curtains was the pale moonlight that lit the room up slightly. Jimin opened his eyes to see Jungkook was wearing an all black outfit... With a gunshot wound through his heart like the last dream. Jimin now wore an all black outfit as well as he rose his hand up and realized that he was holding a gun to himself.
"J-Jungkook... Sweetie... Wake up..." Jimin continued as he dropped the silver gun and cupped the boy's face. But Jungkook was motionless. "M-My prince... W-Wake up, babe..." Jimin continued as Jungkook's body still laid there motionless. "I killed him..." Jimin cried as he wasn't aware this was all a dream. Jimin then rose his hand up to feel the side of his head, expecting a gun shot wound to be through his head, however, nothing was there. The only bullet was shot through was on Jungkook.
"I-I'll be by your side!" Jimin whispered as his voice echoed. Once he loaded the gun, he sat up and pointed it towards his head. "I thought I already killed myself for you..." Jimin thought as he placed the nozzle of his gun over to his head. But only then, the door slowly pried open and there was Jimin's dream self, standing there while he panted along with the gunshot wound with blood racing down the side of his head. Jimin turned his head and gawked at himself standing there with a wicked look. Almost telling him not to do it. But as he sat there longer, he felt a cold and paralyzing feeling overwhelm him. Causing him to tremble with fear in silence. Growing confused from the whole situation.
"Don't do it, Jimin!" Said the voice of his familiar friend, Sehiro. He wore all white and stepped up from behind Jimin's dream self and gazed at him with worry. "Don't risk your life for him... Not all Prince's are beautiful..."

Jimin's eyes pried open as he fell into sleep paralysis. He felt the atmosphere around him grow cold and it felt like a body was over him. Weighing him down and all Jimin could do was look to his side and notice Jungkook was there. Yet, he too was asleep. Unknowingly, there was a figure right by Jimin's side of the bed, causing this cold temperature to drop. Colder and colder the room got as Jimin's heart was beating faster. He couldn't be free from himself. This feeling alone was like death itself... But Jimin just didn't think too hard on this.
Fear froze the man's body as he laid there and tried to move his fingers while the figure still stood over him. Peering down at him as Jimin kept his eyes shut. Not daring to look up at the cold and scary figure. Jimin then exhaled as he managed to move both of his hands and suddenly turn over to hug Jungkook's body close to his. Breaking away the cold and bringing the boy into a sudden hug and felt relieved once he felt Jungkook hug him back only a while after. Warmth filled the room momentarily and Jimin only opened his eyes to caress Jungkook's hair back so gently.
When the sun rose the following morning, Jimin opened his eyes to see he was holding a pillow close. Not Jungkook. Once he looked up ahead, Jungkook had his black bathrobe on, looking for his clothes for work. "Jungkook..." Jimin breathed as he sat up to arch his back into a stretch. "H-How long have you been awake?"
'Twenty minutes. But I was taking a shower.' Jungkook signed as Jimin tilted his head to see Jungkook had bags under his eyes.
"I'm... Sorry I made you upset last night. I was here with you for three days straight! You have me here with you every day... I think I should have a moment off when it comes to seeing a friend of mines. You can come too! That's if you could handle being by Sehiro." Jimin continued as Jungkook rolled his eyes and looked over at his Chief once more.
'I want to go, but Sehiro would be there. He's not a good person towards me. At times, I feel like he wants to take me away from you.' Jungkook signed as he continued after. 'We aren't perfect, none of us are and between us, the two of us aren't as perfect like the couples in movies. I just want to feel like that at times. Stay in your life forever and not have Sehiro come between us. I want that so much.' Jungkook concluded.
"You don't have to like him. I won't force you to like him. So, you can come with me to the coffee shop and I'll be there. You don't even have to look at Sehiro even once!" Jimin responded a he sighed and stood up. "I promise you... It's just for today, Sweetie..." Jimin claimed and walked over to Jungkook just to cup his face and press his forehead against his while he looked at him. "We aren't perfect... I never said that we were. But through my eyes, I feel like what we have here is the definition of perfection. I love you..." Jimin added as Jungkook moved his lips in and kissed along Jimin's lips. "Are you going to come with me...?" Jimin asked as Jungkook nodded his head.
'I will. Only for you. Jimin, I have a question.' Jungkook signed as Jimin looked at the boy who was signing to his lover. 'I want to travel to Japan with you... Just us together.' Jungkook mentioned as Jimin caressed the boy's face after.
"Together? Ah, Jungkook... When it comes to fighting crime, there is never a break. Maybe after a few crime cases, I'll try to pull some strings, okay? Being Chief and detective isn't going to give us days off everytime. We have responsibilities." Jimin added as Jungkook only sighed after.
'I wish we weren't working as heroes so we could have normal lives together. We could travel without any guilt weighing us down.' Jungkook pouted as he signed after.
"We can't have it all. Ah, come on we have to get coffee with Sehiro. Oh! Don't even try to give him those glares." Jimin added as Jungkook nodded his head and made a smile as he picked some clothes for work out of his dresser. Jimin walked back to the bed and sat down as he took out his phone to call Sehiro. "He just needs a friend to talk to. Maybe the two of you could bond over coffee and I can translate to him on what you have to say. I know the two of you haven't ever grown very fond of each other. But who knows? Maybe today will be the day that the two of you become close friends! Taken by the fact that this may be the last day we see him free like this. I want us all to end in good terms." Jimin stated and began to call Sehiro.
Jimin called Sehiro on his phone, however, the man never answered. This left Jimin to tilt his head in confusion as he kept trying to call his close friend over and over again. Yet, there was no answer and this left Jimin to only shrug. "Guess we are going to the station first and then we meet up with Sehiro. Hm... It's weird how he couldn't answer me..."
'He could be sleeping right now. Remember, he's not at work anymore.' Jungkook suggested as he took his bathrobe off and allowed it to drop onto the elbows of his arms to take it off and change into his clothes for work.
"You're right... You know, if he wants to go out for coffee, it'll be nice if he just wakes up early just to meet us there." Jimin added as he decided to leave Sehiro a message after. As Jimin was typing away on his phone, Jungkook gazed at his body along with the slightly faded hickeys from a while back as he hugged himself and looked back at Jimin.
'You hugged me really tightly. I was a bit worried.' Jungkook signed and gazed at Jimin.
"Oh... Just a little nightmare I had... So, I wanted to hug you close and feel like I'm not alone." Jimin continued as he walked by Jungkook to get his clothes from the dresser as he still held the phone in his hands. Expecting a call from Sehiro anytime soon. "I'm sorry I worried you. I didn't think you were awake?"
'How could I sleep when I was upset?' Jungkook asked in sign language as Jimin nodded his head. Understanding why Jungkook was so upset now. Yet, there was nothing to fight about now, Jungkook was already understanding how he had to just bond with the older since it was going to be the last time Jimin see's Sehiro before his trial.
"I'm sorry, Jungkook." Jimin added and threw his arms around Jungkook with a smile on his face. "I love you and only you. Okay? You belong to no one else but me." Jimin whispered to the boy's ear as he still hugged him from the back and gave him kisses along his soft and warm cheek. Jungkook absolutely loved being told he belonged to no one other than Jimin himself and got so use to those words, he didn't want to hear Jimin mention anyone else because he get's upset. He loved Jimin and had a view of the man treating him like he was the only one in his life. Jungkook was so use to that, he grew spoiled over the love Jimin tainted him with.
After the two got ready for work, they got onto the car to head to the station as Jimin glanced over at his phone time to time like he wanted Sehiro to call him so they could head off to the coffee shop, yet each minute passed and Jimin just worried. "I think... He doesn't want to meet up anymore... I think he must be spending more time with his wife." Jimin said as Jungkook rolled his tongue along his cheek and let out a sigh once Jimin kept one hand onto the armrest of his seat. Just then, Jimin felt the warmth of Jungkook's hand over his as he let out a sharp breath after. Knowing he had to calm down.
Jungkook assured Jimin to remain calm through the look he gave him. This alone left Jimin to toss away the thoughts in his head. However, along the way to the station, he noticed that there was police cars zooming out the direction of the station and driving past them from another lane. Jimin paid no attention to this as Jungkook watched the patrol cars blast off down the street in a rush. Jungkook looked worried and a little concerned, he never thought he'd see the police cars travel off that fast!
'Jimin, look how fast they raced down the street!' Jungkook signed as Jimin only took a quick glimpse at the younger and back at the road.
"They do that when there is an active killer on the loose or bank getting robbed. It's nothing to worry about." Jimin added as Jungkook pointed at an ambulance as well. Jimin of course paid no mind to it as they reached to the station soon. After a good while, Jungkook and Jimin walked in while they held hands as Jimin kept walking until he reached his office along with Jungkook's. Not wanting to hear any whispers of a few officer's gazing at the two and adding their thoughts on the couple. However, that wasn't the real reason why they were whispering about the Chief...
Jimin walked into the office as he closed the door behind him and went to sat down at his desk. Not saying a word as he still gripped onto his phone. Jungkook noticed how crazy Jimin was feeling due to the fact that he grew worried. Sehiro would never ignore the calls or messages and this left Jimin to wonder what happened to Sehiro. "I... I should call him!" Jimin said and he picked the phone up and held it up to his ear.
'Jimin, wait.' Jungkook signed to Jimin as the Chief didn't listen. The horrible and death feeling returned to him as he waited for an answer. But only then, a few officers stepped into the room and had their hats in their hands. Already telling by the looks most of Sehiro's old and close friends, they were the only ones that stepped in. Being advised of the tragic news that was told to them by the officers on the crime scene.
"Chief..." Said one of the Officers as Jimin stood up to listen to them. "There was a murder scene close to the coffee shop just a little far from here..." Continued the man as Jimin felt his heart sink as he gulped after.
"W-What are you trying to say...?" Jimin asked as he was still oblivious to the news.
"Chief Park, One civilian was murdered by the entrance of the coffee store... Well.. what I'm trying to say is, the Civilian that was shot dead... Riyu Sehiro. He's dead." Concluded one of the officers as Jimin kept staring while his eyes blew wide with tears flowing through them as soon as he heard those tragic words that pushed him into a depressive state.
