The Spawn

Twenty Three

But he's right.

Wherever they go, they have to be together.

If Jimin dies, Joshua will be heartbroken.

If Yeosang dies, Jimin is going to receive a nice torturing session with his parents.

They both are not safe alone.

In the lobby someone could've been there and killed or kidnapped either of them on the spot, just to put the Oasis empire down.

Now is not the time to be fussy, even though Jimin is known for his grudge type of attitude, he can't have it here.

So with narrowed eyes, Jimin slowly let's go of Yeosang's wrist, keeping himself firmly on his ground.

"Don't tease me again, even if it's to piss me off to make me enhance my fighting, don't. I don't like it. If I don't do it to you, I expect the same in return," Jimin mutters between his lips, feeling the fingers on his neck loosening it's grip, "If we're going to be in each other's presence, those are my boundaries."

The steam sneering to both of their eyes is intense, but it's also not as stiff as before. Perhaps it's because they're discussing a serious matter, that's both important for Jimin and Yeosang to know.

And in some way, Yeosang appreciates that.

Glad Jimin is starting to show more of his self care than his selfish needs.

That's definitely an improvement.

Jimin suddenly presses himself more back against the wall when Yeosang leans towards his face, feeling more trapped than he already is by the close proximity.

To gather his dignity he lifts his head up and remains steady, keeping his facial expression firm.

"I don't like chasing after anyone," Yeosang mutters bitterly, his eyes still intensely gazing at Jimin, "I don't expect you to be nice, I honestly don't care about that. I may piss you off and get on your fucking nerves but don't you dare leave my side. Either if I storm off or you do, just stay present for the sake of my sanity. If something were to happen to you......."

Yeosang didn't finish. He couldn't finish.

It's almost as though the words were lost in the wind, finding no specific destination anymore or to be found again. It was strange seeing him not so composed, but now he just couldn't look at Jimin in the eye anymore.

Even when Jimin raised his hand and slowly guided his face back to him, Yeosang refused to look at him.

Yeosang may be unbothered by many things, but now with Jimin staying with him he gets paranoid every second he doesn't see Jimin by his side; fearing that he got taken or killed. This literally drives him crazy, and if anything were to happen to him, he wouldn't know how he would even face Joshua.

It's a lot of pressure, and Jimin is starting to see that worry clear in his facial expression.

So wordlessly Jimin just nuzzles their foreheads together, letting his eyes flutter close with his thumb gently caressing his cheekbone in hopes that's enough for him to relax since words just don't go so well with Jimin.
