Chapter Thirty-Six: Echoing silence


It falls heavy, and unmoving. 

Too loud, and paradoxical. 

The silence fill their mind. 

Caging them in forever.

Jimin looked up when he felt a tap on his shoulder, and saw a wrapped gift being pushed his way. Then he saw, Namjoon looking at him with a meek smile, scratching the back of his head. They had been in Namjoon's office. Jimin was helping Namjoon in his work. Even though the science was a bit different, and Namjoon had to translate some of the work for him, he still managed. He understood a considerable part of the reports. 

"Is that for me?" Jimin asked curiously, taking the rectangular wrapped box in his hand. And when Namjoon nodded, he gave it a quick shake. Trying to guess what was inside. 

"Thank you," Jimin smiled, before tilting his head as he opened the wrapper, "But why?"

"Er... think of it as a thank you gift." Namjoon replied, lips curving into his signature half moon smile, and his deep dimples on show. Jimin ignored the urge to poke those dimples, and focused back on the gift. Beneath the wrapper was a deep blue, velvety box. He put aside the torn wrapper, making sure he didn't make a mess before opening the box. Gasping, and eyes widening when he saw a thin, dark bracelet resting on a beige cushions. He looked up at Namjoon for a moment, before carefully pulling out the bracelet and putting down the box. 

There was small, crescent moon embedded with a baby blue stone. Contrasting perfectly against the rest of dark, silvery bracelet. 

"It's a charm." Namjoon stated, going back to his work. "A safety charm."

"A safety charm?" Jimin repeated. 

"Hmm, rub over the moon." Namjoon replied, putting his own hand on the table. 

Jimin looked at him for a moment, before nodding and rubbing gently over the stone. Retracting his hand in surprise when the stone glowed dimly. Then he looked to Namjoon. 

"Your bracelet, is connected to mine." He explained, pressing onto the bracelet he wore on his right hand, "If you are ever in any kind of danger, you can contact me with it."

"Danger?"

Namjoon shrugged, "You're still new to this world. Just ever in case."

"Thanks.", Jimin smiled, and nodded After a moment of looking at the bracelet, he spoke up again, "You said as a thank you gift... for what?"

Namjoon had a soft smile displaying on his lips after hearing the question. He stared at Jimin for a while answering, "For helping my Jav."

"Jav?"
