Caught in a Lie ~ Vminkook ff

What if?

"Do you trust him?" Hoseok asked with his brows raised.

"I don't have an option hyung. Anyways where did you even hide to get to this state" Jimin  chuckled watching Hoseok's hairs standing in all possible directions, a few buttons of his shirt unbuttoned and dust covering his clothes from top to bottom. He was sweating profusely, wiping his forehead with the back of his hand.

"Don't ask me" Hoseok sighed feeling sticky and itchy all over. "I need a hot bath" Hoseok groaned going towards the room's door. He stopped in his tracks remembering about a key hidden in his pocket.

"What?" Jimin asked watching him in a daze.

"I got a key behind there" Hoseok said unsure, showing the key to him.

"Huh! Where does this belong to?" Jimin wondered.

"I'm not sure, keep this with you for now" Hoseok kept the key on Jimin's palm running towards the door, "Let's talk later" Hoseok squeaked before leaving.

"Now what's this" Jimin wondered holding the key in between his thumb and index finger. He went towards his cupboard, removing the drawer covering a hidden drawer behind, which only Jimin and his father knew of. He kept the key inside that drawer and aligned the other drawer in front as if was never removed.

"This should take care of it for now" he sighed going towards the gallery. The view in front of him as he stood at the gallery had beautiful forest and an open ground covered in grass in front. He sighed taking in a long breathe feeling nostalgic. He smiled remembering old memories, when his father used to lift him up in the air as a kid. Initially he felt afraid, but later on the adrenaline rush made him feel lighter as if he was flying. While he ran aimlessly on that ground not caring about what lies in the future, he felt so free. What if he was given a chance to go back to his past self? Would he change the past or let it flow like it was supposed to? Such questions are difficult to answer unless you actually face them.

"I won't let your murderer get away so easily Papa. I'll make sure he won't get an easy death" Jimin huffed looking down to spot Jungkook sitting on a bench talking to James who went in later. He thought of asking Jungkook about this morning, maybe he'll get some more info about Taehyung's intention.

"Kookie" Jimin yelled from above gaining the younger attention who looked up to spot Jimin waving towards him. "Wait there, I'm coming"

Jimin ran downstairs towards Jungkook who sat in the backyard at a bench they used to sit as kids. It used to be their favorite spot to gossip about their school/college life, or their love life. They discussed about their future sometimes only to end up thinking about funny situations they would end up if they remained unemployed. It was fun back then, no issues, no betrayal, just two young boys talking casually about their daily lives.

"Hyung, what happened" Jungkook smiled watching Jimin run towards him, engulfing him into a bear hug. "Jiminie hyung, please tell me what happened. You're scaring me" Jungkook whispered while patting the elder in his embrace.

"Just felt a bit nostalgic, do you remember how we used to sit in this very place and discuss our future" Jimin sighed leaving Jungkook's embrace taking a seat on the bench with him.

"Yes I do. Hyung, are you alright?" Jungkook asked with concern laced voice. Jimin shook his head looking ahead, watching the beautiful garden they built together as young kids. It had varieties of roses, except the black one which was somehow stomped upon and Jimin cried for two days over that incident. He could never see black roses the same way after that incident so he never planted one and the gardners were instructed to never plant any in the future.

"I'm not okay, JK" Jimin mumbled, his eyes not meeting Jungkook's.

"Why? Did something happen between you and Taehyung?" Jungkook asked, but regretted the very next moment. How can he still love a guy who betrayed Jimin and him as well. This morning when he went to talk to Taehyung about ending everything between them, he found another person lying in his arms, naked. He knew what happened, was he so easy to move on from? Did he ever have any feelings for Jungkook? Maybe it was just him who fell hard for the other. What can you expect from a guy who betrayed his husband!
