psychotic - taehyung ff

10. interview V (cont.)

"that's all you're gonna give me?' jimin chuckles. he could see the irritation growing on his mom's face and it continued to confuse him.

"jimin, not tonight, okay? maybe another day we can talk about this," his mother dismisses. jimin was kind of hurt by the actions of his mother. he didn't understand why she was being this way. why was this man so important that she felt the need to hide him from her own son.

"mom, why are you hiding him from me like this?" jimin asks incredulously.

"jimin. not. now," she says before slamming the door in his face. he was upset. he was truly hurt. why was his mom hiding the man she was dating from him? sure, jimin didn't bring everyone he dated back home to meet his mom, but she was informed if he was dating.

maybe he was being too clingy? his mother did deserve a night to herself with someone who treated her right. and just because he allowed her to know everything about him and his life doesn't mean that he had to know everything about her life.

disheartened, jimin wandered around town, stumbling into a bar.

"okay, what bar?" jin asks, taking notes.

"singularity," jimin mumbled, the neon lights in the shape of the bars name flashing across his mind.

"what happened next?" jin says, urging jimin to continue.

jimin had been sat at the bar for three hours, drunk out of his mind. but he wasn't alone. there was a woman there. that he for sure was talking with.

"who was she, jimin?" jin asked, trying to urge jimin to dig deeper inside the depths of his memory.

sunny, his old school mate. she had been chatting him up, catching up on life and the things they have missed about life.

"have you spoken to taehyung?" jimin asks tentatively, trying not to drudge up any unwanted memories. jimin knew that taehyung and sunny were now on a break, due to the stress of their jobs interfering with the nature of their relationship. both parties ended on good terms, but jimin wasn't sure if sunny was just saying that to be dismissive.

"uh, yeah. last week actually. he's pretty swamped up with things at work," she smiles, swirling her drink around in her cup. jimin nods, understanding where she was coming from. he hadn't seen taehyung in two years due to his dedication to the job. but it didn't mean they never spoke on occasion.

"sounds like life," jimin chuckles, smiling down at the cup on the bar table.

"sounds like an excuse," she responds, less enthusiastic than he was.

"you may be right, but you know how taehyung is. dedicated," jimin defends, trying to stick by his friend despite their bond not being as strong as it once was. jimin still loved taehyung, that was his best friend. always will be.

"enough about him. what about you? single?" sunny asks, smiling over at him. jimin scoffs shaking his head. jimin wasn't as confident as he appeared, which resulted in him remaining celibate.

"then come home with me," sunny said. jimin choked on his drink, his body seizing as he coughed, trying to gasp for air.

"what?!" jimin asked, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"i said come home with me," sunny said again, confidence inking off her tongue like poison. jimin was dumbfounded, unsure of why she was being this forward with him. it didn't make sense.

"i don't think that's a good idea," jimin murmured. he couldn't betray his friend like that. there was no way.

"jimin, be honest. did. you. go. home. with. her?" jin enunciated. he could sense his discomfort and haneul felt her heart in her throat.

"yes. but nothing happened. honest," jimin said, eyes opened, the whites of his eyes red. there was a steady stream of tears coming down his face. he was guilty and he knew it. and now, so did seokjin and haneul.

"what happened after you left her house?" jin asked, choosing to move on for the sake of the energy in the room. he swore he could choke from the tension alone.

jimin rushed down the stairs of sunny's apartment, rushing to get somewhere safe. luckily, she lived a few blocks from his mom's home. he only hoped that his mom's friend had been long gone. and that his mom was asleep. there was still plenty amount of alcohol swimming in his system, despite whatever may have happened back at sunny's. he waltzed up to the driveway to his mom's front door, pulling out the key from within inside the pot next to the front door. he shoved the key inside the lock, unlocking it. he pushed the door open, trying his best to shut the door as quietly as possible. he noticed that the kitchen light was still on, which was weird for her because of the fact that his mom was an early rise, so she was in bed by 10am at the lightest and she made sure to always switch off the lights because of the light bill. jimin waltzed into the kitchen, stumbling to stand still. but that's when his landed on it. the body of his mother.

"did you notice anyone around? before you walked in?" jin asked, his pen gliding across the notepad.

"no, it was desolate. that's what made the whole thing weird," jimin responded, his eyes fluttering open.

"okay, jimin that was great, you're good to go," jin smiled, nodding at him before standing up and walking out of the room. his isolation was short lived before hanuel stormed into the room, tears coming down her cheeks.

"you slept with her?"
