6. Shadows Of The Secrets [Part 1]

Jimin on the other hand became nervous, As all the students looked at his face. He gave a deadly glare to Taehyung, "What a clingy guy he is?" He muttered.

Taehyung smirked, He headed closer to Jimin and put his bag over the bench, "Drag yourself aside" He commanded.

Jimin rolled his eyes and dragged aside, "Can't you sit anywhere else?" He asked annoyingly.

Taehyung chuckled softly, Sitting beside Jimin he said, "Nobody owes me anything...but you" His voice laced with mockery. "And you're the reason why I got transferred" Taehyung exclaimed, Carving a smirk on his lips.

Jimin avoided it, He tilted his head in utter annoyance twice and shifted his attention back to the book. Taehyung chuckled softly at his adorned.

Alas, Professor Choi finished his lecture as the bell rang, "Well students.. I'll collect your project tomorrow" He said, Making his way to the doorway.

Jimin swiftly gathered his belongings, intending to leave the room. However, Taehyung was not willing to let him go so easily. He followed Jimin outside and, in a sudden move, He grabbed his hand and pulled him to the side hallway.

Jimin's heart raced in his chest, confusion and fear etched on his face. "What the heck are you doing?" he questioned, his breaths coming out in short bursts.

Taehyung gently pushed Jimin back, placing his hand against the wall to block Jimin's escape. His voice deepened as he spoke, trying to convey his sincerity. "I'm trying to talk to you, but you keep avoiding me," he said firmly.

Bewildered, Jimin stared at Taehyung, suspicion clouding his eyes. "Are you some kind of stalker?" he asked, his worry evident in his voice. "I've already told you, I can't repay your loss."

Taehyung nodded slowly, acknowledging Jimin's concerns. "You can think of me as a stalker if you want," he replied, his gaze unwavering. He paused for a moment, leaning closer to Jimin, his voice dropping to a whisper. "There are other ways to make amends," he murmured, his words hanging in the air, heavy with implication.

Taehyung winked at him, Carrying a malicious smile on his face, He tugged his lower lip in between his teeth and raised his hand to caress Jimin's rosy cheek.

Taehyung's every act of pervert rapidly increased Jimin's heartbeat, They stood clutching his fist, Nervously gazing at the handsome face of Taehyung through his doe eyes.

"You... You know Ww-what you're doing right now" Jimin stammered, His chest fell and rose with every deep breath, Brushing against Taehyung's lips.

Taehyung traced the shape of Jimin's sculpted face, His tall slender finger, Caressed the smooth and milky white skin of Jimin, Eyes gazing at plump lips, Like an alcoholic glaring at the wine glass, "I'm very well aware of my intentions" Said Taehyung in a deep low voice.

Jimin shrugged his shoulder hesitantly, "I... I need to go" He said, His voice barely above a whisper as Taehyung leaned further closer to him, "Let's meet tomorrow\... If you don't want me to sue you" He commanded.

Jimin exhaled a long breath, "I have an important work to do" He answered, Eyes shaking back and forth nervously. Taehyung's floral scent seemed intoxicated, Provoking an anonymous urge, His heartbeat echoed rhythmically in his ears.

Taehyung smirked victoriously, As if he had read Jimin's mind, "Don't lie to me... I know you don't have anything to do... Besides helping your brother in his restaurant" Said Taehyung, Pulling his hand back to let Jimin escape. "But still it's alright...if you don't wanna meet but let me guess the reason why you escape the hospital and why you were fucking scared that night?"

Jimin widened his eyes with confusion and fear as he tried to comprehend why Taehyung was meddling in such a grave situation. His nerves were on edge, leaving him feeling both tense and bewildered.

A lump formed in his throat, making it difficult to swallow as Jimin struggled to find words. "I don't wanna talk about anything," he managed to say, his voice shaky. With a sudden burst of frustration, Jimin shoved Taehyung back, Determined to escape the uncomfortable confrontation, Jimin turned on his heel and briskly walked away, his steps heavy with unresolved emotions.

However, Taehyung's words fell like a hammer on his head. "You thought it was your dead father... The killer... His eyes remind you about him... Isn't it?" Said Taehyung, He sounded assured as if he had access to Jimin's mind, As every word, He said, Was a bitter truth, Jimin couldn't deny it. "You killed him and ran away that's why you're afraid of the police"

Jimin's heart pounded in his chest, fear and panic clawing at him. His fist tightened, knuckles turning white, as cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Jimin spun around to face Taehyung, his breaths shallow and rapid, his eyes wide with terror. Taehyung's passionate gaze sent chills down his spine, A mixture of pride and victory in his eyes, but there was an underlying solemnity that intensified Jimin's sense of dread.

"Hh... How" Jimin wanted to speak, But he felt as if an unseen force choking him, His chest felt heavy, But he managed to speak anyway, "How you know ab-about my fa-father?" His voice trembled as he called the name of the person whom he hated the most.

Tears traced the way to his cheek, The word "Father" perhaps sounds endearing to the rest but for Jimin, It was a curse that still haunted him through nightmares.

Taehyung calmly answered, "I know everything that you have gone through... I'm sorry I couldn't save you at that time but I'm here now" His words seemed heavy, His voice shaky, Jimin felt as if Taehyung had known him for a long, As if he had been watching him all the time.

There was a familiarity, Jimin felt with Taehyung. It was unexplainable, But Jimin could sense a hint of pain in Taehyung's eyes, A regret for not being there for him.

But how long did Taehyung know him? Years, Months, Perhaps for whole life, As far as Jimin believed, It was their second meeting, Yet the guy who stood in front of him seemed to know the thoughts that tangled Jimin's mind since that night. he wanted to scream, In search of an answer but as if the pain in his chest felt unbearable.

Taehyung observed Jimin's pain, unable to ignore it. He stepped ahead and took Jimin in his warm embrace. "Calm down," He said "I know you've gone through a lot, I Know you had so many secrets, But I'm here for you" His soothing words worked like magic, The warmth of his embrace and his unavoidable floral scent felt like a paradise.

Jimin gasped a long breath, He grabbed Taehyung's sleeve tightly and suppressed his cry. His silent sob echoed in Taehyung's ears. But Jimin couldn't understand how Taehyung came to know about his past, He has been keeping away from everyone. How Taehyung read his thoughts, Not every human could do this.
