Chapter Eleven
After Jungkook and Jimin's talk they watched a movie in Jungkook's room. Jimin was starting to grow impatient having to wait until Friday. It's Tuesday, 1am, Jungkook had fallen asleep shirtless. He promised to put a tanktop on before sleeping but he gave out and fell asleep. Jimin was huddled against the headboard of the bed. He looked at all the scars on his legs. He had such beautiful legs. Now they're covered in "disgusting markings of weakness" as his father likes to call them. Marks he caused.
He sighed then looked to Jungkook's body, not a single scar but plenty of tattoos. Jimin noticed a tattoo on Jungkook's calf. Words in bold going up his calf. Jimin looked hard for an imperfection thinking Jungkook had none. But he did notice what looked like a scar, from possibly a bullet, on his left side. Jimin wondered who would've hurt him and why.
"You wanna know how I got it huh?"
Jimin's eyes darted to Jungkook's who's were open and looking into his.
"Oh! No! Um, you don't have to tell me." Jimin panicked as he waved his hands.
Jungkook sat up and pulled Jimin's hand softly to touch the scar.
"Soojin shot me."
Jimin pulled his hand away quickly.
"The sister you defend with your whole chest, Soojin?! She shot you!" Jimin screamed.
Jungkook hushed him as he laid back.
"She was broken." Jungkook's heart breaks everytime he talks about his sister.
"She felt as if all these men and women were after her, after us. So, she bought a gun for protection. When it was me and her alone, a man broke into the house. After her. She paincked and tried to shoot the man but shot me. I never held it against her. But father did. He held it so hard against her that he sent her away."
"How. . . Away?" Jimin wondered aloud.
"America, away."
"He sent her to America?"
"He didn't know whether he wanted to send her to get help or to be in military school. So he just sent her away." Jungkook was feeling terrible. He hated talking about it. But knew the more he spoke, the more comfortable he'd have to get with it.
Jimin lunged and hugged him. He felt Jungkook shake as he held him.
"You're always there for me. Let me be here for you. Cry Jungkook."
That's exactly what he did. Cried loud and heartfelt. He hated his dad for so long after hearing Soojin was gone. She left when he was just 14. She was his partner in crime.
Jimin ended up lulling Jungkook to sleep. Tears still stained the poor boy's face. Jimin held him close and rocked him. This was confirmation to him that he liked Jungkook so much. He wanted to comfort him, keep him happy, take care of him, and keep him safe.
He will ask him out on Friday if it's the last thing he'll do!

"Shot?" Taehyung's mouth was ajar as a chip awaited its arrival to his lips.
"He told you? That's such a touchy subject!" Joy giggled as Jisoo gasped.
Jimin's face began to burn as he looked down smiling.
"I guess he really trusts me and feels comfortable with me." Jimin smiled as he ate a strawberry.
Joy giggled, "I agree with you."
Just then Jungkook walked in, without a shirt, and gave them all a suspicious look as they had stopped talking when he walked in.
"Were you assholes talking shit about me?"
Joy snorted, "Sadly no. I wish we were."
Jungkook scowled and flicked her forehead.
"Ooww!" She whined as she rubbed her forehead.
Jimin laughed cutely as he took one of Taehyung's chips.
"You gonna tell us bout those tattoos?" Taehyung questions as he continues eating his chips.
Jungkook shrugged as he looked down at his tattoos.
"Which ones?"
"All of them!" Lisa grinned.
He exhaled as he rubbed his chest over the wings tattoo.
"These eagle wings. The words underneath say "Be Just As Powerful As These Wings." Basically, just a reminder to be strong and don't falter. Don't wither."
"This one?" Jimin asked pointing to a diamond on his right upper arm.
"A diamond. "It takes work to get here." A reminder that even the most beautiful diamond takes work." Jungkook answered with a smile.
"Ooo! Can I say the breast cancer symbol?" Joy asked happily while pointing at the tattoo, resting on his upper left arm.
Jungkook nodded with a smile.
"It's the only second tattoo that daddy approves of! The date underneath. That's the day we got news mommy had breast cancer. It was terrifying!" Joy sniffled.
"Father was the most hit by it. He was in a state of depression while mother was in the hospital." Jungkook added.
"So when Kook got that tattoo after mommy was cleaned of any cancer, daddy was thankful. He felt that Jungkook truly cared and paid attention." Jisoo smiled.
"The rose?" Taehyung wondered.
"Why is it a withering rose?" Lisa wondered out loud.
"That's the day our youngest sister was um," Jungkook cleared his throat and he titled his head to the side.
"That's the day our youngest sister was diagnosed to be deaf." Jisoo answered for him.
"Deaf?" Jimin whispered to himself with a frown.
"Father sent her to live with grandmother. He knew she'd take care of her as she got used to being deaf. She has hearing aids now though," Jungkook exhaled as he rested his head on the table.
"Jungkookie?" Joy called.
Jungkook raised his head and looked at her.
"Has she taken the therapy?"
Jungkook shrugged.
"I hope she did. . . I miss her voice so much." Jungkook held in a cry and replaced it with sad chuckle.
Jimin rubbed Jungkook's back and smiled softly.
"Don't forget that words on your calf!" Jisoo grinned.
"It literally just says "I'm Physically Exhausted."" Jungkook scoffs.
"The meaning behind the tattoo?" Joy smiled.
Jungkook gave Joy a killer look.
"The meaning behind the tattoo is when I had my frist girlfriend, who of which just wanted father's money and wanted to date Yoongi, kept asking things of me. Things I couldn't provide. She nagged. She was just a straight up bitch. And she always listened to a song, a song that said-"
"I'm physically exhausted." Jisoo smiled.
"Yeah." Jungkook sighed.
"So when we broke up, I got this tattoo. In big and bold. Because yeah, I'm physically exhausted. For more than one reason." Jungkook mumbled the end as he rested his head on his hand.
Jimin sat and thought about everything for a while. Realizing he had learned more about Jungkook.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's Friday. Jimin woke up with the highest level of anxiety. He got up at around 12pm and showered.
"You got this Jimin. Even if he rejects you, you'll be fine. He might be straight for all you know. Breathe in, breathe out," Jimin sighed before he rinsed his hair and stepped out of the shower.
He slid on a pair of black tight boxers before sliding up a pair of blue ripped jeans. Like he always does he rubs the scars on his body.
"Jungkook has all those tattoos, to remember good things and sad things. But I have all these. Nothing good came from these," Jimin whispered pained. "Why would he like me? All these. I'm insecure, I look disgusting. I just know I'd be a burden."
Jimin held his breath before sliding a black shirt on and styled his orange hair that was beginning to dull. His roots turning black.
"Not to mention the whole sex thing. Jungkook has had sex plenty of times while I want to wait. I don't want to make things difficult for him." Jimin frowned.
He pushed those thoughts aside as he walked out of the bathroom and downstairs after grabbing his phone.
"Jiminie~"
Jimin looked over to Taehyung who was smiling.
"You ready?"
Jimin sighed, "No, no I am not. What if he's straight and just leading me on or being very nice or something."
"Oh baby, I can assure you. He's not straight. No straight man would cuddle with you and literally grope your ass," Taehyung laughed.
Jimin sighed and pouted as he flopped on the couch next to Taehyung and Joy.
"What time are you two leaving?"
"I'm not sure. When it gets dark I guess. . . Wait how'd you know we're leaving," Jimin looked at Joy accusingly.
"Uh. . ." She looked to Taehyung.
"I told her. Anyway, when are you leaving?"
"Whenever Jungkook gets back."
"Ugh, he's probably checking up on his baby." Joy grumbled.
"Baby?!" Taehyung and Jimin screeched in unison.
Joy looked at them shocked before Jisoo came down the stairs to answer.
"His motorcycle. He loves that thing too much."
Jimin chuckles.
"It's a nice motorcycle."
"It's the first gift daddy gave to Gukie after he sent Soo-noona away." Joy smiled.
Just then the door opened to reveal Jungkook, Namjoon, Seokjin, and Yoongi.
Jungkook looked at the 4 on the couch with a suspicious look.
"Y'all always shut up when I come around. You assholes are always talking shit about me! What were you saying?!"
Taehyung snorts, "Well Mr. Conceited, we were talking about your motorcycle."
Jungkook scoffed as he walked off to the kitchen. The other 3 sat on the couch across from where the 4 were sitting.
Seokjin leaned forward and looked to Jimin, "Jimin please, break Jungkook out of whatever phase he's going through."
Jimin laughed lightly, "I'll see what I can do, Jin-hyung."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The breeze was cold as the dying sun mixed just perfectly with the living water. Jimin looked down at Jungkook's hand seeing it sway so carelessly. He wanted to grab it. He could tell Jungkook's hands were cold.
'If he says yes, then you can hold his hand. Just wait a little bit!' Jimin scolded himself.
They soon reached the lake. They sat on a bench that gave a perfect view of the lake with the sun resting above.
"It really feels like Winter now huh?" Jimin asked with his smile.
Jungkook turned to him and nodded. Taking notice to Jimin's small red nose.
"So, you said you had something to say?"
Jimin tensed and held his breath.
'So, I have something to say. . . '
"Um so you don't have to say yes or anything or feel bad for not recuperating my feelings or anything like that because I don't want you to feel that way and I really want you to be comfortable! Oh wait I'm rambling uh I'm sorry! Um I just wanted to um like, ah I'm sorry!" Jimin looked down with his cheeks growing reder.
Jungkook chuckled and placed his hand on Jimin's cheek, lifting his face to look at him.
"Breathe and say it again."
"J-jungkook, I-I like you." Jimin bite his lip and looked into Jungkook's eyes.
Jungkook smiled as he rubbed Jimin's bottom lip with his thumb. Jimin began to panic thinking Jungkook was debating how to let him down nicely.
"But it's totally fine if you don't like me cause you're probably straight and you know you couldn't get sex with me or whatever-"
Jimin eyes widened as he fell a soft pair of lips on his. He was shocked and placed his hands on Jungkook's shoulders as Jungkook slowly pulled away.
"I like you too Jimin. Stop worrying so much, you'll get wrinkles and gray hair." Jungkook joked as he looked into Jimin's eyes.
"Y-you like me?" Jimin searched Jungkook's eyes for a lie. He couldn't find one.
"Yes I do. So?"
"So~" Jimin grinned as Jungkook still held his cheek.
"Will you be my boyfriend?"
"Oh! No!"
"No?!" Jungkook gasped.
"Not no! It's just, I wanted to ask you!"
"Oh, I thought you didn't wanna be my boyfriend." Jungkook exhaled.
"Okay then, ask me."
Jimin gigled as he played with Jungkook's hand.
"Jeon Jeongguk?"
"Ooo, full name." Jungkook smiled.
"Will you be my boyfriend?" Jimin whispered.
Jungkook cupped his ear, "Speak up, I can't hear you."
Jimin pouted then shouted, "Jeon Jeongguk! Will you be my boyfriend?!"
"Park Jimin! Yes I will!" Jungkook shouted and smiled kissing Jimin again.
"Now that I'm your boyfriend, don't talk bad about yourself," Jungkook warned with a smile.
"I'll try~"
Jungkook smiled and kissed Jimin's nose.
"Let's head back, yeah?"
Jimin nodded and smiled.
They walked back to the villa, hand in hand happily.
