Jimin couldn't bring himself to face anyone anymore, missing the college but leaving home to wander in empty parks or river banks. He had never felt this alone ever.
Shits do hurt and there's no denial, Jimin was fed up with this. Why do some people even come into life when they have to leave? Why do they make him feel special while in the end their attitude would let him down?
Overall, it's a mess. He might be overthinking but isn't it what we all do when there's no assurity? There's no sign of comfort and hope?
Jimin really was lonely.
Now, It was the weekend and luckily he didn't have to face anyone for two days or so.
Twisting, turning and crying on his bed, Jimin didn't even realise when morning shone because all night he was just being bothered by his thoughts.
He had no plans to get off the bed and start his day, so he laid down and didn't get up.
He spent his Saturday in his bedroom, not feeling himself being able to even make it downstairs so his mother worriedly asked if he was sick but for her sake he had to fake it all.
She came up to his room after not finding him on the lunch table, he missed breakfast too but since he's a brunch person his mother let him rest a little but he was actually restless all night.
She worriedly rushed in to find him lying in a curled up position. She worriedly sat near him, running her head through his hair and he opened his eyes.
"Jimin-ah? Are you okay?" She asked but Jimin only looked up at her with his bloodshot eyes.
Jimin tore up again, shaking his head in denial and she literally freaked out.
"What happened? My baby, do you need anything to eat? Should I get you something warm? You need to have the pills." Being a mother all she could do for his betterment so asked while Jimin couldn't even bring in words why he was sad.
But at least he fell asleep under her magical touch. She brought him to relief while running her hands through his hair, he closed his eyes in ease.
Jimin wasn't alone.
She tried to check on him and found out he was asleep, leaving a kiss on his head. She left his room but Jimin hadn't fallen asleep.
He couldn't help but constantly think about Taehyung, how easily he broke his heart into two, yet he can still fix easily and Jimin waited all day just for Taehyung to arrive, make some efforts in talking but the day went off, another night of tears.
~✧~
"Baby, if you won't stop how am I supposed to help you?" Jungkook asked Taehyung, the two currently at Taehyung's place.
Taehyung felt so down, finding out Jimin blocked him on all the platforms, he really messed up so bad. After a big self realisation, Taehyung knew he was wrong.
The flashbacks of those teary eyes that longed for him broke Taehyung's heart more than ever.
Jungkook was hugging Taehyung who cried on his shoulder, heart heavy to see his baby cry.
"I will say s-sorry a thousand times… I… I shouldn't have said that… I hurt him so bad… h-how can I be so selfish?" Taehyung cried, self blaming as he thought about the event.
"Baby calm down…"
"I snapped because he mentioned you for nothing… I know it was wrong but I was wrong too."
Jungkook constantly wiped Taehyung's tears away, rubbing his back in a soothing manner.
"Maybe he was just off about something else Taehyung, he might have blamed me just to ease his tempo. If I had known better I would never have messed with him, it's just I thought like everyone else he's my friend too but Tae. I'm okay with it if he wants to blame me, he can but don't you ruin your precious friendship over me." Jungkook's words were selfless, Taehyung couldn't help but hug him tighter.
At least he has someone like Jungkook to comfort him, while Jimin didn't.
"Kookie… I wanna fix it." Taehyung broke the hug and said so determined.
"As you should baby, I'll help you in every way." Jungkook assured and Taehyung looked at him with his teary eyes.
"B-but how?"
"I know a way."
~✧~
The other hand Namjoon couldn't understand what else he could do to get Jimin's response because he wouldn't do it on text anymore.
It was the Sunday morning means one more day till Namjoon can't see him in person.
He was just wondering, worrying about him but there was no other way so he got his phone and keys before rushing out somewhere.
He had no plans for the weekend so he made his way to the pet lounge, feeling down so he had no other choice.
Namjoon carried a bag full of snacks for the pups and kittens there, desperately wanting to meet them to feel a little better and he reached the pace soon, entering inside.
And he walked into the lounge, eyes falling on a familiar figure he didn't expect but really wanted to see.
The other one was oblivious of his arrival, back facing him as he played with the small animals while sitting on the floor.
His petite figure almost disappeared in the crowd of small animals, making him look smaller than he actually is.
The puppies and kittens began leaving him as they saw this certain vister behind him and Jimin couldn't help but feel terrible to lose them off his grip.
He couldn't keep them, they all left him, eager to get their treats from someone else.
Only one stayed in his lap and Jimin couldn't help but look down at it with teary eyes.
"You'll leave me too, so better go sooner." He said in a low voice to the small creature who just patted his legs with its paws, meowing in response.
"Go play with your friends." Jimin pushed the kitten forward and then stood up to leave.
His head finally rose and his eyes fell into a pair of worried ones. Their gazes locked and Jimin's eyes were already teary, before he could feel sadder, he took a step forward but now the bag full of treats fell on the ground because those arms curled up around Jimin's small frame.
Jimin was thunderstruck, not believing as Namjoon's one arm curled around his back while another brought his head on his chest.
Jimin swore he wanted to disappear in this embrace, feeling like dreaming but he was apologetic that held him from hugging back.
"Oh God, you had me so worried you have no idea." Namjoon whispered as he hugged him while Jimin gave no response, still shocked.
"Jimin?" He whispered, breaking apart to look down at him.
"I'm s-so sorry Namjoon, I didn't mean to hit you with that. I know you're mad at me. I… I'm…."
"Shhh, no…. I'm not mad at you. All I am is just worried about you."
"Y-you are done with me I know… I'm troublesome… I'm weird… probably why Tae doesn't wanna stay with me anymore." And now he burst into tears harder.
"Heyy....are you alright?" Namjoon asked while Jimin just felt like crying and Namjoon knew he was very down so he hugged him tighter this time, the petite boy almost disappearing in his bulky arms.
"You got me. Jimin, don't cry, please." Namjoon whispered sweet nothings to his ears and Jimin gave up, and next was him hugging Namjoon's waist tighter, burying his face into his neck as he cried harder.
"It'll be alright."
Jimin didn't even know how it was even possible but he really needed a hug, a tight one like this to make him feel better and he swore his chest was lighter than before.
After feeling so good Jimin sniffled up, still greedy of a hug he didn't back away and Namjoon too let him be.
The urge to protect him was screaming inside to wipe those tears and do something to make him smile.
After a very good while Namjoon broke the hug and Jimin shyly backed away. Namjoon handed him his handkerchief and Jimin shyly held it.
"Look at them, they probably wondering how weird us humans are." Namjoon whispered as he pointed to the crowd of small animals looking up at them and Jimin couldn't help but chuckled to see their gazes.
"You know Jimin?" Namjoon asked as he squatted down while Jimin tried to wipe his tears away.
"What did the skeleton say to the puppy?"
"Skeleton?"
"Yeah, what did a skeleton say to the puppy?"
"What?... I don't know." Jimin said, sounding so oblivious and didn't seem to understand the joke.
"Bonappetit"
At first Jimin couldn't understand but once he did he started giggling.
Namjoon looked up at him and couldn't help the smile, it worked out on him.
"Where did you get these jokes from?" Jimin asked, seeming better than before and that's all that Namjoon wanted.
He handed him a pack of treats as he signed Jimin to sit down too, help him feed the animals and Jimin did as he was told so.
"Why? The joke was lame?"
"No I won't say, it did sound funny to me." Jimin said and began feeding the animals.
Namjoon smiled at the thought of the one who taught him the dad jokes, leaving him as a joke on life himself.
He then looked at Jimin's side, completely in his own little bubble and bickering cutely with the pups and cats that left him earlier, even his anger was cute.
Namjoon knew he wouldn't let this be wasted over a past, after a very long time he felt this way better and he would wanna stay by his side, forever.
