''

away his tears and failing to erase Hoseok's provocative words, Jimin walked back in the house only to observe Jungkook starring at the window numbly. Damn, he must have seen him at his worst state.

''I guess you saw, right?'' he inquired.

''Let me clean your blood and then we will talk'' he spoke with an indifferent tone.

''What ?''.

''I am cleaning the wound on your knuckles and we will talk afterwards'' he went to get the first aid kit leaving Jimin alone by himself in between the four walls. He had taken the two cameras from the living room, the bathroom and the bedroom. He had to think of a plan, something to help both Jungkook and himself. But in twenty five years of lying , saying the harsh truth suddenly looked like such a hard task to achieve.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

''Just admit it Yoongi! We fucking lost him... Let's let them live. Jungkook isn't much of a competition anyway. His ideas might be innovative but he cannot approach your mastermind'' Jin tried to bring some sense in Yoongi's mind.

''The fucking asshole!'' he growled and with a spontaneous moment, he turned the chessboard upside down, scattering all the pieces on the floor.

''Yoongi... I told you many times... Jimin isn't like you or Taehyung. He has a conscience... He is just messed up because of his past. If someone calls you a fool for your entire life, you eventually believe that you are a fool yourself. He was always being called a sociopath even if he loved his sister, even if he fell in love with a man, even if he is now in love with Jungkook. We...''.

''He is a socioapath!'' he yelled. ''He told me he can do it''.

''Well then he lied. That's what he is good at. Lying, that's why you got him in the first place''.

''Not to lie to me though! Nobody is lying to me... Tomorrow morning, tell him that if he doesn't do as we have told, I am ending his sister. For good'' he warned and burst out of the room, falling onto Hoseok. Barely sparing him a glance he exited the building, leaving the bloody man to hiss in pain. The raven haired's glance was sorrowful yet he knew that Yoongi just simply didn't care.

''Oh my God, Hoseok! Did Jimin do that to you?'' Jin inquired.

''I think my jaw is broken... The fucker thinks that they are in love. I used all the anger I had and he only gave me one punch. He's changed Jin. He is able to control himself. The only places that still have cameras are the kitchen and the veranda and a microphone I have placed in the bedroom. He doesn't even know this exists''.

''Yoongi...''.

''I am not abandoning Yoongi... Nor this mission. I am getting paid for this... and at this point, after everything that has happened... I don't want Jimin to win''.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

''Give me your hand'' Jungkook pladed and for the first time Jimin couldn't decode if Jungkook was angry or hurt.

''Kook... give me a chance to explain''.

''I am not mad at you gorgeous... I just feel that you are hiding too many things from me, that's all'' he grabbed a cotton pad and gently began to clean the wound. ''You must have been really angry to actually pierce your skin with your own nails''.

''I am trying to be okay... I really try'' he uttered, feeling Jungkook's hand caressing his back. Stop loving me please, stop. For your own sake, please stop.

''You don't need to tell me about Hoseok... I...I know how he is so you can talk to me about it whenever you feel comfortable. But you can ask me anything you want. Really, I won't judge'' he reassured him. Taking all the courage he could master, Jimin drew in a long breath and finally asked the younger.

''Do you think I am manipulative? Like do you feel I manipulate you somehow?'' he repeated his question.

''Does this have to do anything with the fact that whenever I wrote something about you it happened? Cause if we think about it that's real manipulation. I literally made you visit the coffee shop that day twice. Just because I wanted so''.

''So you consider yourself a manipulator Kook?'' he wondered. Because despite his failures, Yoongi knew that Jimin had done an incredible job at perforating Jungkook's mind. Jungkook felt as if he had manipulated Jimin when all this time he was the one being played.

''I might have been one for all I know... but I am not now. I swear I haven't written anything since I won your heart. I want you to try willingly whatever you want with me. To tell you the truth I felt like I forced you to sleep with me. I felt so fucking terrible. I wanted to stop especially when you said you wanted me to go raw. It was your first time and you looked anxious. But you were just so alluring I couldn't bring myself to stop'' he kissed the older's knuckles, dragging his lips from one finger to the other.

Jimin just wanted to save him. He had managed to make the man blame himself for everything, that's how good of a manipulator he was. Yoongi knew who he was hiring. The man was so affectionate and unloved that he just got tangled in the trap. Yoongi's calculations however didn't take into account that Jimin could get and develop feelings...

''Don't say that. You didn't force me...I was just not ready yet I guess. But don't ever doubt that I love you and that I am willing to do anything it takes to be with you''. Yoongi must have sent Hoseok as a warning. Jimin was just trying to hide the truth for as long as possible.

''What are you saying? Nobody is going to take you away from me'' Jungkook chuckled.

But someone might take you away from me.

''I know, I know... Some random thoughts pop in my head from time to time, that's all''.

''Jimin... we all grow up and do things we always used to say that we won't ever do. I never thought I would be an author, never thought I would be gay... Never believed that the most brilliant person on earth would fall in love with me'' he skimmed his hand over Jimin's knee.

''Kook... If you knew the answer was going to be yes, what would you ask for?'' he inquired out of the blue.

''Oh that's tough and too philosophical for my mind to comprehend right now but... I would probably ask you to stay withe me forever. I feel like even the universe wants us to be together... Damn, why am I such a softie for you?'' he giggled and pecked the blond's cheek. ''What would you ask for?''.

Leave me now. I am so in love with you that if I hurt you I will die on the spot only to give you my last breath. Can you stop loving me? Can you abandon me?

''I haven't thought about it. Maybe I would ask if you could kiss me''.

''Wasted question. I would do it either way'' he grinned and engulfed the older's lips in a tender kiss. Jungkook was enjoying being in love. Most people weren't satisfied with their first relationship yet the young author felt as if he was holding the whole world in his embrace. A world that vehemently turned the gentleness into hankering.

Jimin's hands were roaming the once dangerous territories as if he owned them, as if he had the desire to mark them as his own. However the same happened to Jungkook who slowly began to bring his palms from Jimin's neck to grab his ass. And in the exact same time, both of the men found themselves touching each other at the exact same spot. Jungkook rapidly broke the kiss when he felt Jimin's hand on his own ass.

''Looks like we were both going for the same spot'' Jimin commented, licking his lips playfully.

''It appears so'' the raven haired said in an undertone, already panting from the kiss.

Jimin's hands latched onto the younger's tiny waist, leaving a small peck on his neck. Jungkook closed his eyes, unaware of the blissful feeling of not surely knowing what is going to happen next. So far Jimin had managed to find one of his sensitive spots and if things got more heated he would probably have the chance to discover the other ones as well.

''Have you ever bottomed Kook?'' he asked between the kisses, carefully bringing his hand to Jungkook's neck chocking him with a little to no pressure.

''Yes... Sometimes when I was too tired or... needy'' he breathed.

''Are you needy now?'' he began to suck on the younger's neck, slowly twirling his tongue on the spot. ''You know... life's too short to pretend we aren't into kinky shit'' he stated.

''Never said I am not... Just never tried it uh-out'' he gasped when he sensed the hickey forming on his once unmarked skin.

''See? We both have some firsts to experience''.

''You said you knew my kinks... And I know yours...'' he felt his bulge growing.

They both needed this. Not just to get their minds off things but because their hearts told them so.

Maybe they wouldn't get another chance.

''Kook... Tonight is exploration time''.
