Nothing can go awry, no one can slip up, everything has to go perfectly for this trick to succeed. But how can Kim Taehyung concentrate when his assistant is the distractingly handsome maknae of the show, Jeon Jungkook.
In which Taehyung is a grand...
Jungkook, Yoongi, and Jimin sit at a rusted picnic table covered by a bright yellow umbrella as they wait for their order to be ready. Jungkook ordered a simple bowl of porridge while Yoongi and Jimin settled an agreement with their growling stomachs and got a much larger breakfast. The youngest boy figures he can eat off his boyfriend's plate if he feels hungrier than he is right now. Yoongi had ordered alot for that exact reason. He knows that Jungkook eats alot more than just a bowl of porridge in the morning so he ordered alot so he can feed his love and keep him healthy.
Jimin on the other hand, is just hungry. He hadn't eaten anything the night before, having stayed up all night trying to figure out how to win Yoongi's heart as he had done every night since the day they met. With Jungkook back he hasn't a clue how he's going to make the older boy fall in love with him now.
"I wanna dye my hair again. Do you think I'll look good as a blonde?" Yoongi asks Jungkook, grabbing both his hands and bouncing in his seat excitedly. Jimin pictures the boy as a blonde and his heart flutters. Yes, blonde Yoongi will look nice.
"You look good in any hair color baby. You're just that perfect" Jungkook kisses Yoongi on his forehead and brushes his hand through his hair. Jimin stares in envy as the two boys interact in a way that he's only ever experienced once, and probably never will again.
"What do you think Jimin?" Yoongi asks, placing both hands on the bench and leaning towards Jimin with a bright expression on his face. Jimin smiles and looks at the mint haired beauty through his thin lashes. He caresses the boys head and Yoongi leans into his hand like a cat. In his head he hears a very satisfying purr.
"I think you'd look amazing" Jimin whispers in a nearly seductive tone. Yoongi's face burns a fire red as a whimper of joy nearly bursts from his throat. He swallows it down and sits back in an upright position, grabbing Jungkook's hand to remind himself that he is the love of his life.
Damn it Jimin what are you doing to me? Yoongi asks himself as he watches the orange haired boy lift up his cup of banana milk and place the straw between his thin upper lip and plump pink lower lip, causing Yoongi to squirm.
"Food!" Jungkook shouts as two waitresses come to deliver their food. They place a hot bowl of noodles onto a stationed heater and turn up the flame, cooking the noodles in crisp lettuce broth. She hands Jungkook his porridge and distributes the rest of the food between Yoongi and Jimin.
"Eat well Hyung!" Jimin says before digging into his own portion of the meal.
"Eat well baby" Yoongi whispers to Jungkook as he passes him a strip of beef. The young boy bites into it straight from Yoongi's chopsticks, causing a chuckle to rise from deep within his chest. The baritone laugh causes a shiver to run down Jimin's spine and suddenly he isn't hungry for bulgogi any longer. He reaches into the steaming bowl of noodles with his chopsticks and delivers a healthy helping straight into his mouth, breathing in and out quickly to cool the food that is already burning his tongue.
"You really shouldn't eat that fast Jiminnie, you'll burn yourself and get a stomach ache," Yoongi whines. Jungkook cocks his head at the interaction between his boyfriend and this stranger. Jiminnie? Yoongi isn't one to give nicknames to just anyone. How close did they get while he was gone?
"Yah! Stop flirting you too." Jungkook says, trying to mask his jealousy with a joking tone.
"Aw baby you know my heart only belongs to you" Yoongi kisses the tip of Jungkook's nose but the boys heart breaks with the words he receives. He knows that his heart is in so many places that he can't completely dedicate it to the one he wants to most. His heart belongs to Yoongi, but part or it lies with his career, with the magic he places in people's imagination every day, with the friends he has made on his journey, and with a certain famous magician that he can't seem to stop thinking about.
"So Jungkook, do you think you'll ever go back to working as Taehyung's assistant?" Jimin asks with his mouth full, remembering why he came here and the promise he made to Namjoon.
"I don't know at this point. All I know is that I have to find another job eventually and when I do I feel like I won't ever be able to go back. Taehyung probably won't accept me anyways." Jimin senses the distress that Jungkook is in and suddenly feels a bout of nostalgia kicking in. He knows that feeling, the feeling of disappointing someone you care about, the feeling of disappointing Kim Taehyung.
"I think you should go back" Jimin announces simply. Yoongi looks at him, eyes flooding with confusion and stress.
"No Jimin, he should probably stay here. You don't know what happened. He needs to stay here" Jimin's heart contracts in his chest painfully as he sees how worried Yoongi is.
"Tell me what happened cause if its bad enough to make Jungkook leave all the fans he's accumulated and an amazing job that I can tell he loves very much then I'll change my mind." Yoongi gawks at the boy's daring response. Both of the boys stare at Jimin and they don't notice the boy approaching the table where they are sitting. Jimin stares back waiting for an answer desperately. All he can think of is different scenarios that could have placed Jungkook in this situation and all he can really conclude is that Taehyung did what was done to Jimin years ago. There aren't many other solutions that come to mind. He looks directly at Jungkook and waves his hand as if to hurry the boy along in responding.
"Tell me what happened" Jimin repeats, needing to know exactly why Namjoon sent him to get Jungkook back rather than any of the other boys.
"He almost died"
*A/N* Got over my writers block finally. God I haven't experienced writers block in a really long time. Guess that's what happens when you're incredibly busy and not emotionally dedicated to life. But I managed to write a chapter, short but simple and hopefully filled with some form of feels. Anyways, I found this chibi of Yoonmin and it made me feel so here you go. Suffer with me.
