A heart that's broken

Sharp and sexy

Two days later Jimin strode into practice aware of the others glances on him.
"Jimin....your back to black!"
Jimin had decided his makeover would include changing his hair from the blonde he'd had after leaving the military to black,the sleek cut emphasising his face.
His practice outfit was a semi see through mesh jumper in cream and black fitted jeans.
His moon tattoo could just about be seen through his top .
"Mmm,thought it would be easier to keep without retouching it all the time."
"I love the outfit Jimin you look so sexy in it!" Hobi smiled.
"Thanks,I'm not sure that's the truth but Tae and I went shopping yesterday."
"Yer the only thing we didn't buy was a new wardrobe to put all his new stuff in!"Tae muttered," my feet still ache!!"
Jimin hugged Tae ," aw poor baby....i treated you to a meal didn't I?"
Smiling Tae hugged Jimin back," you did...plus it was fun watching you get ogled by those guys!"
Jimin blushed ," they had been drinking ..."
"Doesn't matter,they asked if I was your boyfriend when I said no they tried chatting you up!"
Jungkook hearing this felt annoyed,
"I hope you didn't let a bunch  of strangers get his number Tae!" He said sharply.
"Duh! Of course not!"
"I could use all the help I can get ..." Jimin said staring at Jungkook.
"Stop it,it makes you sound cheap...."
"Jungkook!" Jin admonished as he saw Jimin swallow hard but then stick his head up.
"I'm not the one whose face was plastered all over the media with...'a girlfriend!'
Jungkook fidgeted uncomfortably.
"She's not my girlfriend....I don't want someone who will use me for my fame..."
"Well you better tell her she's been calling here to talk to you about the 'intrusive photo'.Says she can't get through to you on your phone,staff have told her they have put out a denial about the relationship...funnily enough she wasn't pleased when she heard it." RM said
Jungkook scratched his neck sighing," I know I just,well,feel a bit mean....."
Jimin snorted," mean? You would rather lead her on...? Oh I suppose you're good at that.."
He turned going out to the bathroom,hearing Jungkook worry about a girl he barely knew feelings pissed him off.
The bathroom door slammed behind him.
"What's your problem Jimin? Are you going to continue to ignore me or talk down to me?"
Jimin turned to face him,
"Me talk down? Aren't you the one who just said I sounded cheap?"
"You were talking about going out with anyone!"
"I was talking about getting a boyfriend who knows who it will be!!"
"That's the same thing!!!"
"Oh sure Mr high and mighty ,just because you found a girl to date...oh wait no you didn't it wasn't you she was after was it!!"
"At least I'm dating a girl!!!"
You could hear a pin drop in the silence that followed,Jimins feistiness disappeared leaving him feeling belittled,a freak and not lovable.
He stepped back giving a sad smile wiping a stray tear,
"Yep you got me there......" before leaving the bathroom.
Jungkook ran his hands through his hair cursing and kicking a wall,he hadn't meant to say that he'd seen the utter dejection in the other as he spat out those words.
He turned going back to the practice room,once he entered the choreographer put them to work,so he had no time to apologise to Jimin
They were learning a new routine to an old song which they would perform on tv the following week,it was the lead up to their comeback they would perform then have a sit down conversation with the host.
Usually Jungkook and Jimin would catch each others eyes in the mirrored wall grinning at something only they found funny but today Jimin's eyes were not connecting with his at all.
For Jungkook he suddenly realised how tiny Jimin seemed,yes he knew he was smaller but his new clothes emphasised his slim waist his small frame and his pert butt,usually covered in baggy sweat clothes.
His jumper lifted revealing his pale skin and Jungkook felt himself go warm.
The practice ended and Jimin grabbed his stuff  quickly calling to Tae,
"7.30 ok?"
"Sure see you then,"
Jungkook was pushing things into his bag trying to get to Jimin before he left but Hobi stopped him.
"Jungkook,do you think we should dress smart or casual for this dance?"
"Huh?"
"Well I was talking to the others and they said we should be smarter now we are older and the dress rehearsal is in two days,but wouldn't casual be more comfortable and appeal to the younger fans?"
"Maybe they are right our fans have been in our journey with us so have matured to,I think younger fans will be introduced by their elders,so I'll go with smarter.."
"Hmmm,ok.....mind you Jimin looks best dressed up don't you think,he has this elegant kinda vibe going ,lucky man who gets him..."
Jungkook looked a bit startled at that,
"Well he hasn't even got a boyfriend yet....."
"I know but somehow I feel it won't be long til our Jimins not single....."
Hobi noticed the confused and frowning look the other gave and smiled inwardly,he was all for giving a little push when needed.
"Er actually I need to catch up with him bye Hobi.."
"Oh he's not going home he's having lunch with Taemin."
Jungkook scowled,Taemin somehow annoyed him he was overly friendly with Jimin as far as Jungkook was concerned but Jimin liked him.
Seeing the scowl Hobi added," who knows maybe he's Jimin's forever after?see you."
Jungkook ran ahead taking the elevator down to the underground garage looking for Jimin's car but couldn't see it,damn!
He felt annoyed and frustrated and decided to go to the gym,workouts made him feel better.
Over an hour he sweated lifting weights doing press ups and pull ups then sitting on a bench drinking water.
One of the trainers came over,
"Looking good Jungkook no Jimin today?"
"I'm not sure he's that keen usually comes to keep me company..."
"No he comes late at night on his own too.."
"He does?"
"Yer....had to tell him to go home once he was training too hard...he said he has to keep up with the rest of you,"
"Is this often?"
"Often enough for us to worry about him,he's lost weight since the military,I suppose you all see him so often you don't notice but as trainers we can see he's on a fine line of losing weight through trining and having no weight to train with!"
"Thanks I'll keep an eye on him..."
The trainer nodded and Jungkook stood up going to the showers.
He stood under the gushing water his mind on Jimin so much so that he groaned when he realised some other part of his body was also thinking of Jimin.
"No he's just a male friend! So what if he looked damn good in those clothes your just used to him in baggy things.....no stop thinking of that dream....you missed out on your date you just felt needy...you don't like Jimin that way........do you?"
He dried of ignoring his lower body which being ignored eventually settled down.
He drove towards home but stopped at a convenience store.
It was one he and Jimin used often,the owner knew them and made sure they were never bothered.
Pulling his face mask on he went in grabbing a basket.
He was half way around when he heard a commotion,
"I'm so sorry Mr Li...!"
Jimin?
He rushed towards the til and saw a concerned owner Mr Li helping Jimin up from the floor,a basket of food was scattered on the floor and two curious spectators stood by.
Jungkook rushed over and Mr Li seeing him gestured him over.
"What's up?" He asked Jimin who seemed a bit dazed when he looked at him.
"Fainted...just drop on floor,he need doctor."
"No,no I'm fine ...the mess..."
"Ok ,I get you new wait,"
Mr Li hurried off while Jungkook stood Jimin up against the counter.
"I need to get out of here..." Jimin mumbled just as Mr Li came back.
He bagged Jimin's stuff up and Jungkook paid for it despite the others feeble attempt to stop him.
"Thanks Mr Li I'll make sure he's ok."
He walked Jimin out one arm around him the other carrying Jimin's groceries.
"Where's your car?"
"At home,"
"Ok get in mine,"
"No I'll just go...."
"Stop being an ass and get in!" Jungkook almost shouted.
He guided Jimin to the passenger door,
"Do you need a doctor?"
"What? No!"
"Why did you faint then?"
"I just forgot to eat today that's all.."
"Forgot? How can you forget to eat!"
"Stop the car I don't need to listen to this!"
"That's it!"
Jungkook turned into a side road and slammed the brakes on.
"Whatever is going on with you is messing with your health, you apparently have been going to late night gym sessions? How long for and how long before you pass out there too?"
Jimin looked guilty as hell bending his head down.
"Wait a minute....you've fainted there too?"
"Look I haven't got far to go so thanks for helping but I need to go...."
Jungkook was as annoyed as he'll unbuckling his seatbelt he leaned over the other caging  him in.
"Don't you care that you're making others worried,what's making you so stupid?"
Jimin lifted his chin up,
"Did I ask you to worry or care,I'm fine I don't need your fussing so stop trying to get in my face!"
Jungkook stared down at the other who glared up at him his full lips pouting,as if he couldn't stop it he leaned down and angrily claimed the others full lips making Jimin gasp.
Jungkook dived into that sweet cavern devouring the other like a starving man.
A moan rose up and Jimin realised it was him,flustered he pushed the other away unclippung his own seatbelt.
Jungkook looked as astonished as he felt if not more so in pure escape mode Jimin opened the door grabbing his bag and slid out.
"Got to...er bye..."
He slammed the door and ran before Jungkook had even realised what he had done.
"Fuck....did I just....."
Jimin disappeared from sight and Jungkook sat back and looked down.
"Hell no not again!"
His tented trousers gave away the fact that he was so hard he thought he'd explode.
"Why...why now after all these years?"
Dumbass you've always liked Jimin...
Yer as a friend...
Oh yeah,why did you always make sure he had the best food,why did you always hold onto him at airports,what about how you don't treat him the same as the others?
His conscience kept rattling off facts he'd just taken for granted and he felt like he'd been run over by a steam roller,
"Fuck.....I like Jimin!!!!!"
