"You didn't know what he was like. I didn't tell anyone. Then you came and I just got weak. I wanted you." Hearing from Suga again, it made his heart sing and he just wanted him to come and save him. And he had. He guessed Suga wasn't entirely gone, he was just a part of Yoongi. With shaking hands, he pulled on his pyjama pants and then pulled on the shirt, numb fingers on working the buttons well.
"Yoongi-hyung, can you help me please?" He felt stupid for not being able to do them but he couldn't seem to get his fingers to work with him and he didn't have the emotional stability to question why.
"Of course." Yoongi immediately turned around and sat back on the bed so he could start buttoning the shirt, looking into Jimin's eyes as he did so. He couldn't help it, it was like he was drawn to them. He wanted to take all the hurt, all the sadness from them. He would find a way to do it. He would somehow keep from ever hurting him again.
"You are still the hottest guy I've ever seen." Ever since that night in the club. Yoongi smiled a little, reaching up to lightly tug on Jimin's hair. "Are you ready to leave with me?"
"Never like this?" He looked down at himself. He was thinner these days, pale and bruised all over. He had scars he never wanted and he'd lost a lot of his muscle from disuse. He didn't think he was all that hot these days but Cheon always insisted he was. He didn't trust him but strangely, he trusted Yoongi.
With an arm wrapped around Yoongi for stability, he nodded. "Let's go home, I want to be in bed. With you. Please, don't leave me. Not tonight."
"I won't," Yoongi promised, quickly thinking about who was out there and what he could risk. Whatever. This was for Jimin's sake, he would just have to deal with whatever fallout came his way. He got his shades out of his pocket and carefully put them on Jimin, protecting his dignity in the little way he could think of. Then he headed for the door, opening it and keeping Jimin close as he headed down the hallway. "Jungkook, Namjoon, come with me. The others stay here. I want Cheon alive if he shows up."
That should be clear enough. He headed into the elevator, keeping the door open for Jungkook and Namjoon to join, an arm still around Jimin, which was saying a lot. But he just couldn't hand him off to anyone, not even Namjoon. "Can you drive, Namjoon?"
"I'll drive. Kookie, you shotgun, I need a navigator. I still can't work a satnav." He could but he wanted to give them the backseat, they looked like they needed some privacy. Whatever they could afford. He couldn't really see Jimin, he was pretty much curled into Yoongi, head bowed down as he tried to stay close and not look anyone in the eye.
"Got it, boss. I'll help out." Jungkook looked at the kid and debating offering his help to carry Jimin for him but Yoongi had that protective 'no touching' vibe right now. He just decided to send a quick text to Tae.
They ended up in the car and Yoongi barely even thought about it, his attention was entirely focused on Jimin and as soon as they were in the backseat, he coaxed him to curl up against him even more, trying to make him feel safe, to make him feel at home. Luckily Namjoon and him lived in the same building, although he wasn't so sure where he was staying right now.
"Take me home. Then I don't care what you and Kookie do, but you should try to get some decent rest in." He had a feeling that the next few days weren't going to be easy on them.
"Okay, we'll drop you off home and I'll go to Jin's place." He had to give them the space. "I'll take Kookie to get his beauty sleep too."
"Exciting." Jungkook smiled and looked at his phone, glad that Tae and him didn't have a battle on their hands yet. "Eh, Jimin. Sorry, I-- Tae said he loves you. He's excited to see you."
Jimin buried his head against Suga, his tears soaking through Yoongi's shirt as he thought of Tae and how much he missed him. He wanted to hug him, he wanted to be with him, just once more. "Thank you. Tell him I love him too."
He loves you too, he's uhhhh he's not good, tae. he'll be fine but... i'll talk tomorrow, yeah? it's been a lot.
"Shh..." Yoongi wished he knew how he could stop Jimin from crying, but he didn't know. All he could do was hold him and that really didn't feel like enough. "It's not far from here."
Good part of town, obviously. Yoongi had an apartment in a building that belonged to him, which was how Namjoon had one there too. Definitely looked more tasteful than what that asshole Cheon had, but it wasn't anything like the pathetic place he used to take Jimin to. He hoped that was all right with him.
"Hey, I have a puppy." There, that was a happy topic. "You still like puppies, right?"
"I like puppies." Who didn't like puppies? He tried to stop crying, sniffling a little as he wiped his face against Suga and stayed buried against him. He was ruining Suga's shirt, he didn't mean too. He just had so many feelings. "Puppies are nice. I wanted to get a puppy. I was -- I was afraid Cheon would kill it." He was pretty aggressive and angry, he'd heard stories about him killing animals before. He didn't want to risk it.
Wrapping his arms around Yoongi's neck, he leaned into him and just enjoyed the safe closeness that Yoongi could give him. "I like cats too. My pyjamas have kitties." Just trying to stay positive. They did have kitties, little calico cats all over them.
"You are my calico cat," Yoongi said it as quietly as he could, while tracing the outline of one of the kittens with his finger, "Maybe we can get a kitty one day. Or another puppy." Yes, whatever, he would just sit here and talk about getting cute pets with the guy who might not even want anything to do with him once the shock wore off, but at least he was calming down for the moment.
"So fluffy. I want them all. I love all animals. I want to cuddle the puppies." Jimin was heavily in shock, weary and tired from everything. As the adrenaline wore down, he was just left with exhaustion. He closed his eyes and leaned heavily against Yoongi. "You're my ... my ... I dunno. Medical. Penicillin. Saving me."
He raised his hand and tentatively stroked Yoongi's hair. "Blue mold."
"You like it? I felt like dyeing it again, so I went for it." Always worth it to make some of the older guard still left scoff and then regret scoffing. He smiled and ran his fingers through Jimin's hair, then shook him a little as they arrived not a minute later.
"You can sleep soon, Jimin. Just have to make it to my place now." He nodded to Jungkook and Namjoon, then opened the door and got out of the car, keeping an arm around Jimin still. He headed right for the entrance, Jimin barely even seemed aware any more. So he said nothing as they headed up to the penthouse, nothing as he unlocked the door and once he'd closed it behind him and Min Holly was jumping up his leg and curiously sniffing on Jimin's, he whispered too.
"That's Jimin. He's a different kind of puppy, I've told you about him." He smiled at Jimin, just to see if he even had any idea what was happening. "All right, how about I get you to bed, then make you some tea and wake you up so you can drink? You need some fluid in you, I've a feeling you're dehydrated."
"I did cry a lot." Jimin wanted to pet the puppy but he couldn't find the energy to bend down, he just clung onto Yoongi and followed him wherever he was being taken. "It smells of you here. I remember the smell. It's the same. I thought it'd be different." But nope, it just smelled comforting and homely. He felt like he belonged here and he wanted that so badly. He didn't think about gangs, Cheon or anything else.
He just focused on the fact that Suga was here. He dropped onto the bed and lay down, letting Min Holly come up and inspect him. He smiled and gave the puppy a quick pet.
"I want to stay forever. Can I? I don't ever want to leave." He was with Yoongi, safe and he didn't have to worry. He was pretty happy.
"If it's up to me, Jimin, you will never leave my side again." Yoongi said it very seriously, looking down at Jimin who was still getting inspected and approved of by Min Holly. "Aw, he likes you."
Honestly, Min Holly liked everyone as far as he could tell, but it was still cute to see. "I'll be right back with you two."
He walked off quickly, starting the kettle and picking out the kind of tea he remembered Jimin liking best. He poured the water in and then added some cold water so he'd be able to drink it faster. After returning, he laid down in bed next to Jimin, who seemed pretty out of it. He put on music, not so coincidentally the same song he'd put on when he had first taken him to his place, and coaxed him into finishing the tea, before finally letting him sleep and falling asleep with him.
