"Y-you, y-you? Can talk?"

Jimin giggled as he sat on the arm of the sofa next to Taehyung as Namjoon was scrolling through movies with Lisa's head in his lap.

"Yes, I can talk."

"But you said-"

"I was mute? Yeah I know. I was at one point for 2 years. But I took therapy thanks to Taehyung. But at school, they don't know that. So let's keep it that way, yeah?" Jimin smiled at Jungkook while pushing his index finger against his lips.

Jungkook was beyond confused as he continued to stare at the smiling boy. You couldn't even see his emerald eyes. Jungkook soon composed himself and sat on the ground in front of the couch. Everyone moved down next to him except Jimin, who just laid his whole body on the couch.

Everyone was enjoying it and having the time of their life. Once Mrs. Kim came home, she sent everyone home, saying if they want to spend the night, wait for Friday. Taehyung said goodbye to everyone as Lisa said goodbye while upstairs heading to her room.

"You sure you don't want me to walk you home?" Jimin smiled at Taehyung before shaking his head.

"You know how my dad is. He won't even notice me sneak into the house. Get some rest. I'll text when I get home."

Taehyung nodded then noticed Jimin shivering. The night was icy cold. When the cold air hit your warm skin, it burned slightly.

"Do you want my hoodie?"

"Nope, I'll just run home."

Jimin began walking home by himself. Usually Namjoon walked with him but his mom picked him up earlier. Jungkook was on his door step as he watched Jimin walk by himself and shiver hard along the way. He quickly ran into the house and grabbed his hoodie from his room, telling Jisoo and Irene, who were on the couch, to tell their parents he was going to walk a friend home.

"Jimin!"

He turned around and smiled bowing as Jungkook jogged to him then handed him his hoodie.

"Put this on."

"Oh no, Jungkook-ssi it's fine. Head home."

"Nah I want a walk anyway. I'll just walk you home. You can give me the hoodie tomorrow."

"Ah, Jungkook-ssi I'm serious. Jennie won't talk to you if I'm around you."

"She pretends to be best friends with Taehyung and you two are hella close," Jungkook grinned as he finally got Jimin to put the hoodie on.

"She wants something from Tae. She knows there's something to gain. Besides, she doesn't stop doing what she does."

Jimin sighed not even realizing how close he's getting to home. He turned to Jungkook and began to remove the hoodie before Jungkook grabbed his shoulders.

"Nuh uh. You're keeping this on and I'm walking you to your door step."

"Come on, Jungkook-ah! Just take the hoodie!"

Jungkook shook his head. Continuing to walk as Jimin groaned and followed all the way to his door step. He turned around at the door step and smiled.

"Okay go home! Shoo!"

"Let's exchange numbers, Jimin-ssi," Jungkook smirked as Jimin raised an eyebrow with his hands on his hips.

"Why?"

"For the project."

Jimin looked at Jungkook suspiciously before pulling out his phone and exchanged numbers.

"Since you have my number, text me when you get home, okay?"

Jungkook nodded as he waited for Jimin to open and shut the door before getting ready to walk home. He felt eyes on him then looked up to a window and saw a man staring at him. Right as he saw the man the curtain the man was peering behind whipped back closed. Jungkook raised an eyebrow and felt uneasy about leaving Jimin in that house. But he has no right to talk about his business. It isn't his. So he just walked home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Jimin! Who the fuck was that?!" Jimin had just taken off his shoes and was walking up the stairs before his dad screamed at him.

"Is that some new boyfriend? Huh? You fa-"

"Shut your fucking mouth!" Jimin screamed at him.

His father growled, "What? Why are you yelling at me?! Are you on your period or some shit."

He snorted, "Why must my son be gay? The one son who to the world is an innocent and kind child. Why the fuck is that?"

His dad chuckled before pushing him. Everytime he's like this his mom and Nayeon always lock themselves in her bedroom to stay away from his dad. Also so Nayeon doesn't run and try to help Jimin and end up hurt. Because according to his dad he, "doesn't want to hurt their income."

✋🏽

He grabbed Jimin's arm and pulled him into a room. He threw Jimin to the floor before grabbing a belt and hitting Jimin repeatly with it. Hitting his legs and back. Sometimes his face. Jimin groaned with each hit. His dad walked and grabbed a beer bottle then shattered it on a dresser before slicing Jimin's legs and arms with it. Jimin screaming as his clothes soaked up the blood.

His wounds were stinging and he could feel himself losing more blood then he should. He could feel blood seeping from his nose and mouth. The metallic taste all to familiar to him.

His dad stabbed his back a few times, opening his well healing scars all over again. Tears stained Jimin's face as his dad started kicking him.

"You were the most beautiful out of my children! I could've sold you to someone and gotten money! I didn't want you, but once I saw those eyes of yours, I knew I'd keep you! Make so much money off of you!"

Jimin coughed up some blood.

'Fuck! Jungkook's hoodie. I still need to call Taehyung and respond to Jungkook.' Was all Jimin could think about.

His father picked him up then threw him to the ground causing silent screams to leave Jimin as he clutched his stomach. His dad spit at him before leaving the room. He stood up and limped to his room. As soon as he entered the room, Nayeon came running out and looking at him.

😗

"You cannot go to school tomorrow!"

"Nana, I have to give this guy back his hoodie and I need to work on a project."

He grabbed his phone and called Taehyung.

"Yo?"

"Hey, I made it home."

"Ah! Great. See you tomorrow baby!"

"Yeah see you."

Jimin groaned as he carefully slid off the black hoodie. Thankfully it wasn't too bloody and could be cleaned. But it did need some stitching.

He limped to the bathroom, Nayeon right behind him helping him into the bath and cleaning his wounds alongside wrapping and stitching up wounds.

"Please stay home and relax."

"It's fine Nana. I'll be stay at a friends house tomorrow anyway. I won't do much I promise. I won't do anything in gym either."

"But those stairs-"

"I'll be fine. Just believe me, yeah?" Jimin pulled his hand from under the water and touched his sisters face. The water was bloody, they had to drain it multiple times.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jungkook turned in his bed and looked to the side. After getting that text from Jimin, something still felt off. Who was that man? Why was he so suspicious? Was Jimin truly safe in that house?

Sandy could sense Jungkook's stress and walked over nuzzling his hand hanging from his bed. He smiled and rubbed her head.

"Hey girl. You could sense I wasn't feeling well huh?"

He smiled as he looked at his phone that just lit up.

Unknown:

Hey

Jungkookie💞:

Who's this?

Unknown:

Jennie, baby😚

Jungkookie💞:
Oh, hi

Jungkookie💞:
What's up?

Jennie:
I just wanted to know if you wanted to go out? 😘

Jungkookie💞:
Sure.

Jennie:
Great! We'll tell the school tomorrow! 💓💓

Jungkookie💞:
Okay.

Jungkook sat in bed and smirked at the messages. It's been one day he already has a girlfriend. How funny. He went to look at Jimin's text just to see if he was implying something, anything, in his text.

"Sorry I just responded to this! I was busy😆 Have a good night Jungkook-ah😴✌🏽"

He's never seen so many emojis unless he's talking to the twins. He just felt as if the emojis were forced and a way to make him feel better. Which they didn't. But he had 7 weeks to ask Jimin about it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once Jungkook arrived at the gate with his sisters, they ran off to talk with Lisa. He stood with the boys until someone grabbed his arm then planted a kiss on his cheek. He looked to see who it was to find out it was Jennie. He noticed the way Jimin tensed up and hide behind Taehyung subtlety. He also noticed something white covered Jimin's palms and around his thumb.

"Hey Kookie~" she smiled.

Taehyung hid his disgust best as possible.

"Oh, I didn't know you two were. . . a thing?"

She smiled, "Yeah! We started dating yesterday!"

Taehyung stared at Jungkook, "When did you have time for that?"

Jungkook shrugged.

"Well, TaeTae! Since we're dating why don't we become friends?"

Just then the bell rang and Taehyung grunted before grabbing Jimin and pulling him with him to their 1st period. Refusing to answer her question. Once in the lockeroom Jimin did change but remembered to tell the gym teacher he couldn't participate. Taehyung noticed the bandages on his arms and around his back.

"Jimin. You said you'd be safe. I told you I would've walked you home."

Jimin whispered in his ear, "It's fine. I'm fine. Jungkook walked me home."

"Why did this happen then?"

Jimin looked down and said nothing as he just slid his shirt on. Jungkook side-eyed them, confused and concerned as to why Taehyung and Jimin always had these conversations of "I thought you'd be safe."

Why does Jimin have his body covered up every now and again? Why does he have so many scars? What's going on?

Once they entered the gym Jungkook saw Jimin talking with the gym teacher, but with his hands. Jimin was signing to the teacher. The teacher nodded as she pointed to the bench. He smiled and sat on the bench watching as all the other students played volleyball. Boys vs girls.

Jimin noticed the way Jennie glared at him and how she shuffled closer to him while playing the game. Soon the ball was hit to her and she purposely hit to the side aiming right for Jimin. Jimin was so over her and her antics. He caught the ball with one hand while looking down. He held the ball in his hand then looked up, giving Jennie and death glare as he stood up and chucked the ball at Taehyung with a burning force. You could see the fear in Jennie's eyes when Taehyung caught the ball with one hand then looked at her with a crazed smile.

He threw the ball up and striked it with his fist as it smashed on the girls side and hit Jennie in the face. Taehyung still girnned evily as he held his hands on his hips. Jennie screamed and covered her nose. Rosé rushed to her side and removed her hand a little bit to see if her nose was bleeding. Rosé looked up to Taehyung and shouted, "Why would you do that, Kim?!"

Taehyung shrugged, "I didn't do anything. I'm just simply playing the game, maybe she should be prepared and concentrate on the game."

Jimin smirked while he looked down.

Jungkook gripped Taehyung's shoulder, "Chill out. That's my girlfriend."

Taehyung scoffed before he shurgged Jungkook's hand off, "Don't fucking touch me right now, Jeon."

The gym teacher ran over to Jennie and gave her a napkin to wipe her nose before she took her to sit down. She sat on the bench next to Jimin. Jimin moved as far away as he could on the bench as the rest of the students continued the game.

"Why aren't you playing," Jennie said a little nazely.

Jimin looked away as he watch everyone continue the game.

"I'm talking to you."

Jimin ignored her. She stood up and was getting ready to push him before Taehyung yelled, "SIT YOUR ASS DOWN BEFORE YOU I DO IT MYSELF!"

She looked up then did as told. Looking down like a child getting yelled at by their mother. Taehyung was getting sick and tired of her. Once gym was over Jimin grabbed his glasses and slid them on after changing. Jungkook noticed how pissed Taehyung was and if he wasn't sure before he was when Taehyung slammed his locker shut then shouted. Jimin rubbed his back.

"I swear to you Jimin, once we leave this hell of a school, I'll save you from that house and I'll save you from the bitch. But if I don't and your Prince Charming gets to you first, I'm in debut to that man."

Jimin smiled at Taehyung and he hugged him. Jungkook looked down as he fixed his belt and replayed one thing Taehyung had said. "I'll save you from that house." What house? Jimin's home? Why would he need saving?

As Jungkook arrived to 2nd period he saw Jimin drawing something. He was going to walk over to Jimin until Jennie jumped in and blocked his view.

"Hey baby!"

Jungkook smiled at her as she wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss. Once the teacher entered the class room Jennie pulled Jungkook to sit in the back with her and Rosè. She played with his hair in the back of the class and gave him a few kisses. Jimin refused to look behind him. More terrified of the death glare he could feel Jennie giving him.

As soon as history was over he packed his things and left the classroom quickly. Not sparing anyone a glance. As soon as he got to his 3rd class he looked for Taehyung and gave him and big hug. He smiled as he rubbed Jimin's back. Rosé walked into the classroom and pointed at Jimin, "He almost broke Jennie's nose!"

The whole classroom gasped as Taehyung scoffed and stood up.

"He did no such thing. I'm the one who hit the ball."

"But Kim, you would never hurt your best friend!"

Taehyung grinned, "That's true, I wouldn't. Meaning, I'd never hurt Jimin or Namjoon."

"And Jennie!" Rosé smiled.

Jimin was worried for what Taehyung would say, worried the teacher would come in any second.

"She isn't my fucking friend."

Rosé frowned.

"I'm so over you and her saying we're friends, cause we fucking aren't! I swear, if you both go too far, don't think you'll still be as popular as you are fucking now. Do you understand me?"

Rosé bit her lip as she looked like she was going to cry. The whole class was whispering.

"Kim snapped."

"What will he do if they go to far?"

"Rosé looks like she's going to cry."

"What will Jennie do when she hears."

Taehyung looked at all the students before he scoffed.

"Go to class Rosé."

And she did as told.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Jimin!"

Jimin turned around and saw Jungkook jogging toward him. Jimin smiled and bowed as he walked into the classroom with Jungkook behind him. He sat at his desk as Jungkook stood in front of him.

"So, should we take scenery pics first or the pictures of each other?"

Jimin shurgged.

"Well, how about you come over to my house so I can grab my camera and then that's when we can decide. Yeah?"

Jimin nodded with a smile as Jungkook walked back to his desk. The teacher said to get a few off guard pictures of each other. Jimin thought of what he meant. Did he mean like the pictures people take of each other when they're a couple?

As soon as class was over Jungkook grabbed Jimin by his arm and pulled him out of the classroom. Jimin yelped as he tried to follow Jungkook. Once at the gate Jungkook powered by with the rest of the group following. Once in front of the house Jungkook unlocked the door. He let his sisters in and tried to drag Jimin in.

"Jungkook no! No! I'll wait outside."

"Jimin come in before I carry you in."

Jimin pouted before he walked inside. The house was nice and expensive. Sure the size was basically the same as Taehyung's but the furniture and everything looked more expensive. Jimin stood at the doorway rocking side to side. As Jungkook took his shoes off there was a female voice yelling his name.

"Jungkook! Did you use my perfume Father gave me?!"

Just then a beautiful woman with black hair drapped over her shoulders wearing a noodle strap dress that was gray with multiple white stripes going horizontally and vertically all around it. She had a white long sleeved shirt under it with black stockings. She ran down the steps and shoved the bottle in Jungkook's face.

"No, ask your sisters."

"I already asked, they said they didn't."

"Why the hell would I use your perfume?"

She growled before she noticed Jimin.

"Oh? Who's this?"

Jimin waved timidly as he hid behind Jungkook, unconsciously gripping Jungkook's shirt.

"Park Jimin. My partner for photography and Taehyung's best friend."

She stuck her hand out elegantly, "Jeon Irene."

He peaked from behind Jungkook and took her hand bowing. Jungkook rolled his eyes before grabbing Jimin and brining him to his room.

"Jin-hyung might have taken it," he yelled as he shut his bedroom door. He motioned Jimin to sit on his bed which he did very politely. Making sure not to leave a wrinkle at all. Not moving in the slightest.

Jimin watched as Jungkook reached into his closet and grabbed something from a box. His camera.

"Your sister seems nice."

Jungkook scoffed as he checked his camera, "Yeah sure."

As Jungkook slid the camera strap over his head and around his neck his bedroom door burst open. Revealing who Jimin assumed to be one of his brothers.

"Why do none of you know how to knock?" Jungkook says annoyed as he stared at Hoseok.

"Do you have my USB?"

"Uh no, ask the brother you share said USB with."

Hoseok groaned and shut the door.

"Lively house," Jimin smiled.

"Sometimes I wish it was calmed down," Jungkook speaks truthfully.

"I wish I had a family like this. Sure my house is loud but, I don't like that type of loud," Jimin said looking down at his bandaged hands.

"Type of loud?" Jungkook raised an eyebrow as he looked up from his camera. Jimin looked up then waved his hands and shook his head.

"Ah! Nevermind. It's nothing. Um, where are we starting?"

Jungkook sighed then looked back at his camera and hummed.

"We'll start with the 20 pictures of scenery then the 6 of each other with scenery. Where do you wanna go? I don't exactly know places around here," Jungkook smiled.

Jimin fiddled with his finger, "The places I think of are the beach and this really beautiful park."

Jungkook nodded as he grabbed Jimin's hand and pulled him out of his room. Jimin winced, peaking at his arm making sure none of his wounds reopened. Once at the bottom of the stairs Jungkook stopped and bowed to his father and mother.

His father looked Jimin up and down, making a mental note of his bandages.

"Who's this, baby?" His mother asked.

Jimin stared at the beautiful woman sitting with a tall, broad man. Her blue tight denim jeans and gray sweater as she hugged the man's arm. Him, wearing a button up white shirt, the selves rolled up and grey loose jeans. Them both wearing slippers as the man had his legs crossed. He hid behind Jungkook then looked up at him. Jungkook smiled a little to himself.

"He's my partner for our photography class. He's also, Taehyung's best friend. Park Jimin."

Jimin came from behind Jungkook to bow and whispered a tiny "hello."

Mrs. Jeon smiled and cooed at his adorableness. She took in his bright yellow sweater with sleves that went up to his knuckles and ripped blue jeans. She noticed how his toes curled and how he bit his lip as he hid behind Jungkook. She found him interesting. Icy diamond eyes and orange hair? His hair is obviously dyed but was he born with those eyes?

"Where you two heading, Jeong-guk?"

Jungkook stared down at his camera then looked back up to his father, "A beach and some park. Jimin's taking me, as he knows his way around."

Mr. Jeon nodded. Jimin and Jungkook slid their shoes on getting ready to leave before Mrs. Jeon called to them, "I hope to see more of you, Jimin."

Jimin blushed a little while he looked down, "That's only if Jungkook invites me, Mrs. Jeon."

She smiled then pointed at her son, "Bring this cute boy over more, son!"

Jungkook scoffed before grabbing Jimin's hand and walking out the door, not before grabbing his keys.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jimin was right. The park was beautiful. The sun was still shinning as Jungkook took 10 pictures of around the park. Then 3 pictures of Jimin. Which was quite difficult.

"Park Jimin! Uncover your face!"

"No!" Jimin giggled as Jungkook tried to pry his hands away from his face. Once he finally removed them he went to take the picture.

Jimin was smiling oh so beautifully. His left hand covered by his sweater paws as he covered his smiled slightly.

"See? Last picture here. Wasn't that hard. Now do me."

Jimin did as told and took the 3 of Jungkook.

"Ooo~ So handsome!" Jimin joked as he smiled looking through the pictures. Jimin groaned, "I look so gross."

Jungkook scoffed the took his camera, "Yeah right, you look like an angel."

Jimin was about to argue before Jungkook pressed his index finger against his lip, "Silence Park. Let's just go to the beach. Lead the way, dude."

Jimin rolled his eyes as they walked to the beach. The sun was just setting as the approached the beach. Jimin took his pictures first. There was a slight breeze, blowing Jimin's hair. He pulled his hair back with a smile as the wind blew his clothing. After Jimin took Jungkook's pictures, Jungkook's phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Baby? Hi! When are you free to go out, hmm?"

"Tomorrow is fine. After 3pm."

Jennie hummed before saying goodbye and hanging up. Funny enough after he hung up Jimin's phone rang.

"What, Nana?"

"Come home soon please! Dad's out of control! He wants to see you! Ahhh- DAD STOP NO-"

Then the phone cut off. Jimin's face showed the fear he felt.

"Jungkook we gotta go!"

"What? Are you okay?"

Jimin screamed at him again, "Let's just go! Now!"

Jimin ran off while Jungkook ran after him, concerned.

As soon as he unlocked the door, Jimin bolted upstairs and grabbed his backpack and ran back out bumping into Jungkook.

"Jimin-ssi? What's wrong?"

Jungkook set his camera down on his desk as Jimin tried to push past him.

"Jungkook move."

"Jimin no."

Jimin tried to stay calm but couldn't with just the thought his sister is facing his fate.

"JEON JUNGKOOK IF YOU DON'T MOVE RIGHT NOW I SWEAR!" He pushed Jungkook who stared at his figure run down the stairs and to the door.

"Jimin! Jimin stop! JIMIN!"

But Jimin was already out the door running home. Jungkook placed a hand on his hip and one on his forehead, "What the fuck?"

Joy, Jisoo, and Irene all peeked out of the twins room.

"What's wrong, oppa?" Jisoo asked.

Jungkook looked at Jisoo and shurgged, "I don't know actually."

"Why were you two yelling?" Irene asked walking to him. He sighed before shaking his head and walked into his room shutting his door. He sat on his bed and sighed, looking through the photos.
