No one took notice of the descending figure, who had overheard their conversation. Jeongguk found himself dragging towards Jimin's room in which he had locked him up. The guilt was eating him up from the inside as he entered the trashed room. The bedsheets were messily thrown down along with a pack of crayons sprawled over the small old wooden desk. Some pieces of rolled-up paper littered around the chair except one that was neatly placed beside the door. Jeongguk marched towards the parchment and picked it up.

Small tears started to brim his eyes as his trembling hands carssed the paper, observing the innocent apology adorning the page. Jimin's messily scribbled "sworry" between the two stick figures which represented both of them, made him sadly smile at the adorable writing. One was holding a mango while the other one had, what seems like a suitcase in his hand, surrounded by the forest. How can he hurt someone this pure.

The drawing was a slap in his face, a perfect memory of their first encounter, a new start for Jimin, new promises... which he failed to fulfill. The innocent apology was enough to allow his tears to unknowingly cascade down his face. He wasn't someone who would cry over such matters but Jimin is important to him, a pure soul who blindly trusts him with his life but Jeongguk hasn't been the nicest. Jimin deserves better. He has to make it up to him and assure him he doesn't need to change himself, however Jeongguk needs to mend his rules for Jimin. He needs to assure the younger that he's the one at fault and that he would never hurt him.

Wiping away the fresh set of tears, Jeongguk fished out his phone and made a quick call. He needs to fix this before he looses someone he has started to deeply care for.

Jimin spent most of his afternoon with his Hyungs outside. After grabbing the promised ice cream they decided to go to an Arcade and play there. Jimin learned a lot of new games and for a moment he forgot about his worries and fears. Jimin feels trapped, he's not sure what to do, whats the right thing to do. he wants others to take him seriously, not treat him like a child.

After grabbing a light snack from the nearby Subway, they made their way back. The mansion was awfully quite, usually he would see some of the guards walking around or the maids greet him with a smile but no one was there.

The rest noticed this as well however Yoongi stopped them from moving any forward.

"Jimin why don't you go up and we will join you in a while" Yoongi suggested, earning confused looks from the rest but he didn't bother answering them yet.

"Oh okay" Jimin mumbled before making his way upstairs.

There were many thoughts running through his mind however he didn't expect to find his room completely flipped over. If he didn't have a good memory if would have thought he entered someone else's room, but he didn't!

His room had been completely transformed! The bed, study table, dresser everything was replaced by nee items. However the best part was that his room was now filled with dozens of stuff toys! And the best one was the huge bear standing in the middle, hiding something behind his back.

Awed by the beautiful sight before him, Jimin stood there shocked yet pleased. His room was customised according to his taste, filled with soft toys, books and many art supplies.

A loud yell escaped his mouth when he saw the huge bear move and pull something from behind his back. Any normal person would have ran for their lives since in a typical horror movie weird toys tend to have a knife behind them. However this is Jimin we're talking about and even if he yelled out of shock he still stood there looking at the sheet in one of the bears hand while the other one had his apology drawing.

Cautiously, Jimin moved forward to observe the equally messy drawing however the colours were filled inside the lines, unlike his. 🥺
Similar character from his drawing were drawn in which he stood on top of a tree while the rest were bowing down to him, even the stick figure he drew to represent Jeongguk. And a neat apology adorned the centre of the page
" please forgive me"

Jimin looked at the bear confused as he took the paper in his trembling hands and took his time to read the letters.

"W-why Mr. Bear is sworry?" Jimin asked.

"Because Jeongguk is bad and he hurts Jimin" Jeongguk called out, his voice sounding different because of the multiple layers of the costume.

"OH NO! Ggukie isn't ba-ad!" Jimin corrected the huge stuffed animal. He was hurt by Jeongguks action but no one gets to say bad about his Ggukie.

"But he hurt you! He was mean to you and broke his promise. He doesn't deserve someone pure as you"

"Y-you don't know that. Yes he did hurt me but he did a lot of good things for me. He does bad things but he is not bad! He's bad to bad people but good to us!"

Jimins words rang through Jeongguks ear, making his eyes moisten up again. Even after how he behaved, Jimin still cares about him. Before Jimin could talk again Jeongguk took off his temporary bear face (idk what to call it 😐) making Jimin step back from the sudden revelation.

"H-ow"

Jeongguk got down on his knees as he grabbed his ears giving Jimin the most sincere apologetic smile he could muster. Jimin stood their shocked to see Jeongguk in such state. Never in his wildest dreams he had imagined him to dress up like this and apologise.

"Im really sorry Muffin" Jeongguk apologised as he got up and hesitantly grabbed Jimins small hands. Jimin allowed Jeongguk to guide him towards the new bed. Jeongguk encouraged him to sit down before kneeling down on the floor in front of him, his hands still between the gloved hands.

"I- I don't know where to start but i guess saying sorry is a good way?" Jeongguk nervously chuckled, making Jimin look down at their hand, enjoying the feeling of something warm around them.

"I know i have been very mean and bad to you. I overreacted and demanded something I shouldn't have because I didn't brought you here for this. That night when you were screaming behind those close doors was the most painful night for me. I was up the whole time regretting what i did, how i ignored your cries knowing you're such an innocent soul. You would never hurt someone intentionally."

"I-i was scared. I w-wanted you to spend time with me b-but you are always busy. I don't like the dark, p-lease don't lock me up in the dark! I'll be good!" Jimin cried recalling that awful night he passed away.

"NO NO! You're a good boy! Im the mean one who wasn't able to understand you! Not you muffin. What i did was horribly wrong and i promise to never do it again. I promise to never hurt you because earlier watching you flinch away and avoid looking at me broke me Jimin. I don't want you to be afraid of me. Fuck thats the last thing i would want! Its my fault, i allowed you to be this frank and close with me, so i should have expected this but im not used to this feeling"

"When you laugh, it makes me smile, when he cry it makes me miserable. Im the one at fault not you. Please forgive me." Jeongguk sobbed as he finally allowed his tears to slip. He had shut down his emotions a long time ago after his mother died but Jimin broke those walls.

"No don't cry Ggukie. Its okay-"

"No its not! I hurt you! Please forgive me, i swear to treat you right and care for you like you deserve to! You can even come any time you want to my office and ask me for attention! I swear I'll leave everything and play with you! You can even throw mangos on me! Or even dirty my shirts I won't mind! You can even kick me or pull my hair in front of others I don't care because you are more important to me. I will lead a miserable life if you leave me Park Jimin. After everything I realised i really Love you. A person like me may be not capable of love but i do! Because you taught me how to fall in live with little things you do, to find happiness and joy in small endearing actions. You can even hit me with a bat or something but please don't leave me! I lov-"

Jeongguk was rambling in and on without taking a proper breath which made Jimin look at him with am amused expression. However the younger was more shocked and delighted. He finally got to hear the words he had been dreaming to, for Jeongguk to acknowledge his feelings as a person. Looking at the teary eyes and flushed face if Jeongguk, Jimin knew how sorry he was and before Jeongguk could ramble on more Jimin leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on his lips to shit him up.

Which it did.

Jeongguk sat there shocked. Out of all the things he had expected for Jimin to do, he didn't expect a soft kiss.

Jimin gave out a heartfelt laugh as he admired the shocked expression over Jeongguks face.

"I-i i" Jeongguk.ex had temporarily stopped functioning as he kept on staring at the beautiful sight before him. A beautifully giggling Jimin.

"I love you to dumbo" Jimin smiled, using the cartoon elephant name for the older.

"Never bow down to me or avoid eye contact. It hurts me a lot Jimin. Im allowing you to do whatever you want with me. The only thing that will ever hurt me is you being away from me so please stay with me Love" Jeongguk begged.

"I'll stay, as long as you don't leave me"

"Never!" Jeongguk smiled and to secure this mew promise Jimin leaned down and moulded his perfectly plump lips against Jeongguks inviting heart shaped ones. A perfect fit or so Jeongguk likes to call it now.

"Did you record all if it, i might have pressed the stop button"

Apparently their innocent kiss couldn't last longer because of the 5 other heads pressed against the door with their phones out.

"What th"

"I can't believe there are no chocolates! Its always stuff toys and chocolates you idiot!" Taehyung teased before hiding away his phone.

"Yeah don't forgive him till he send you chocolates. Its cliche but its good and expensive" Jin agreed making Jimin laugh at their comments.

And Jeongguk forgot all about the sudden interruption once he saw Jimin laugh again and look at him. He could see the admiration in Jimims eyes and thats all the assurance he needs to be a better person for him. And so he sealed his secret promise by another surprise kiss, making the rest blush as they turned around to avoid the awkward moment.

Authors note:
(Ignore any grammatical mistakes I'll fix it up later🤓)
I had to post it again since the previous update wasn't showing up 😑 sorry guys. And I apologise for the late update i had a lot to do these days. Like i said before this book is more about Jimims development than a crime story. Keep that in mind.

Another thing i would like to address is that i have finally started my own blog on instagram and it would mean a lot to me if you can support me there as well. I believe we all need the right amount of exposure and a push to encourage us to discover what we want and desire to be. The same case was with me as well so i can relate to it. I want to make a platform were i can provide the exposure you need and encourage you to experiment different things at home and along with other tips regarding different things.

Im not forcing anyone to follow me there and support me. And I won't take it to heart if you guys don't or can't due to privacy reasons or you don't have an account there.
I respect that.

Im just informing you all about my initiative, the rest is your choice. If you can then do but if you can't then it's totally fine.
Its not much, i just started it but i plan on developing it and composing it properly.

Heres the link if anyone is interested.
