Through My Eyes |PJM Fanfiction|

~23~

The room goes morbidly silent for a while until you put the chicken in the fryer, Jimin's entire body jumping at the sudden popping noise.

"What is that?!"

"Don't worry it's just the grease frying the chicken...sorry...I didn't give you a warning."

So Jimin knows nothing at all about Jungkook's school...

I can't stop thinking about his eye.

I have to see something.

"Um...Jimin...where is your bathroom?"

"At the end of the hall."

"I'll be right back okay?"

After Jimin gives you a nod you walk down the hallway and escape into the bathroom, quickly searching around until you find the pantry of freshly folded towels.

It's driving me insane.

I know something is up.

You quickly wet the cloth and sneak back into the living room while sitting down beside Jungkook's sleeping body, his hand death gripped around your jacket.

Alright...

I just have to hope he doesn't wake up.

You tenderly drag the cloth across the space around Jungkook's eye, your breath catching in your throat when you see the deep black and blue marks hidden behind the makeup.

I knew it.

Someone is bullying him there.

Classic student behavior.

Jungkook probably feels so embarrassed... that must be why he hasn't told Jimin...

"Y/N, I think the chicken is done."

Holy-

He knew I was in here-

"How did you know I was back in here?"

"Instead of having sight my other senses are heightened, I have a keen sense of hearing."

Woah.

Cool.

"You're right! The chicken is all done, now I just have to put it in the sauce and it's finished."

"Thank you for coming over Y/N."

You look up at Jimin in shock at his sudden words as he reaches out and feels around for your hand, his cheeks turning pink when it takes him a second to find it.

"S-Sorry.."

"No...don't worry about it...You're welcome...I like spending time with you and Jungkook, you guys are really fun."

Jimin seems genuinely surprised at your comment as he simply grins, his fingers shivering with happiness when they clasp around your hand.

"Y-You're f-fun too Y/N..."

"Thank you...now try my chicken."

You hold up the chopsticks to Jimin's mouth and carefully place it on his tongue, your heart rate quickening when you realize you two are standing so close you can smell the warm musky cologne sprayed on his neck.

Oh good lord.

"Wow...this...is the best chicken I've ever eaten.."

"Really?"

"Oh yeah...I've had chicken once from a gas station because it was on sale and Jungkook bought that instead of ramen."

"Oh...was it good?"

"Not as good as this."

You carefully gaze up into Jimin's eyes and smile when you look at the delicate brown irises, a look of moonwinked stardust sparkling in them.

"Your eyes are so pretty..."

Your voice is barely a whisper as it escapes into the silent air of the kitchen, Jimin's face turning red as a cherry.

"Wh-what?.."

I said that out loud.

Why do I say my thoughts out loud.

"I uh...um...I just...I was...your glasses...you took them off...so...so I...um.."

You stumble to make a correct sentence until Jungkook quickly sits up on the couch, his nose scrunching in the air like a bunny's would.

"Noona....is dinner done?.."

"Y-yes! Yes the chicken is all done! Are you ready for some?"

"Mhm...I'm hungry Noona...chicken.."

You can't help but to tear up seeing the little spot of bruise you exposed with the cloth, your lip pushing out into a pout as you look at Jungkook sadly.

I'm going to get to the bottom of this.

Whoever is bullying Jungkook needs a reality check.

(A/N): There's more to every story. 👀
