46: First Fight

JAMIE POV

A huge bang was suddenly heard, revealing the opening of the gym door. Upon turning, there we saw, Park Jimin, with a furious expression and clenched fists.

What's wrong with him?

Jimin glared at all of us, one by one, as if he caught us doing something completely insane. When his eyes landed on me, they softened, but they conserved the feeling of anger. He stomped over to the group before speaking.

"What is going on here?" He asked. I blinked twice before answering.

"The boys had a basketball game, so I came to watch. Why? What's wrong?" I asked.

"Do you have any idea how worried I was? The competition ended early, so we came back to school, and I have been looking for you for the past forty five minutes! You didn't answer your phone or anything! I thought something bad happened to you!" He yelled, half with care and half with anger.

I took out my phone, and saw that I missed 5 calls and 15 messages.

"Sorry, my phone was silenced." I answered.

"Well maybe you should have checked the gym during those forty five minutes." Minho said suddenly. Jimin shoved him back.

"Shut up." Jimin said through his gritted teeth.

"What's the big deal? I wanted her to watch the game, and so she did. You should have heard the crowd cheering from outside, so it's your fault that you didn't look in here." Minho continued, shoving Jimin back.

Jimin grabbed his collar and my eyes widened. Both Shinee and I stood up from our seats.

"Who do you think you are, asking my girlfriend to watch your games. Can't you just leave her alone?" Jimin asked.

"Well Jamie is my friend. You getting angry out of it is a bonus for me, so no, unless she tells me to, I cannot just leave her alone." Minho smirked.

"Both of you stop it." I said, pushing Jimin off of Minho. Jimin looked at me in disbelief.

"Your alone dude, don't mess with us and just go." Key said. Jimin looked at all of the boys.

"Let's go Jamie." He said.

"No, leave her alone." Minho said.

"Stop." I interrupted before more problems can arise. I turned around and grabbed my crutches.

"Good game today guys, I'll see you guys later." I said. Minho looked at me with sad eyes. I smiled, turned around, and followed Jimin out. In the hallway, Jimin stopped and so did I. His back was facing me, but I could tell he was angry. He took a deep breath before turning around.

"Jamie, why didn't you tell me you were going to the game?" He asked as he made eye contact with me.

"I didn't know you would be back so soon, and I thought the game would be over by the time you got back so I didn't think it would matter." I said.

"Yeah, but you know I don't trust them." He said. I raised my eyebrow.

"I trust them. Jimin, I get that you were worried, and I'm sorry that you were, but I didn't think I needed to tell you my location 24/7." I answered. I was getting a bit defensive, because he was getting a bit controlling. I never saw this side of him.

"I don't need to know your constant location, but it would be nice to be informed that your hanging out with my enemies. I'm just trying to protect you. They aren't trustworthy people." Jimin said.

"They say the same thing about Bangtan, but I still trust you guys. I'm not going to let my view of people be characterized by your feud." I said.  "I'm not understanding why your over reacting." I said. His eyes widened.

"Over reacting? Oh well, I'm sorry I cared enough to be worried about you. I guess I was stupid for doing so." He suddenly said. My heart dropped. What is wrong with him?

"I'm not saying that you over reacted by worrying, I'm saying you over reacted with Minho. You didn't have to shove him." I said. Jimin threw his hands up in anger.

"Your defending him?!" He asked.

"Well Jimin, he didn't do anything wrong." I said.

"He did! It bothers me to even see you near him because I can't trust him! He's trying to take you from me and it bothers me, so excuse me if I don't have patience for him. Why can't you see that?!" He said. I scoffed.

"Well how do you think I feel whenever you're close with Momo?! You don't think I feel attacked? Hurt? It bothers me too Jimin, but I don't start a fight for it because I know that she is your friend!" I argued back. There I said it. If he has a problem with my friend, he needs to know that I have a problem with his.

"Momo is just a friend! How many times do I have to tell you, I don't like her like that. I love you, and she is not going to change that. You doing this to get back at me is not going to change anything either!" He said. I stepped back.

"I'm not getting back at you! I'm trying to make you see that my friendship with Minho is no more than your friendship with Momo." I said back.

There was a moment of silence, and Jimin's expression darkened.

"I don't feel like choreographing anymore. Go home and rest, I need some air." He said. Jimin stomped off, leaving me in the dark hallway of the school. My heart hurt. This had been our first argument, and it hurt. I can't believe the kind of person he became. What happened to my caring, sweet Jiminie? Who is this controlling, jealous person?

JIMIN POVI stomped off, away from Jamie, and out to the café near the school. I walked in and ordered a drink before sitting down in anger. What is wrong with me? I was never like this. I ruffled my hair out of frustration. I put my head down, only to hear a presence sit across from me a few seconds later. I looked up to see Momo, smiling down at me sweetly.

"Please not now Momo, I want to be alone." I said, putting my head back down.

"Why, what's wrong?" She asked.

"Nothing, I just want to be alone." I said.

"Is it Jamie? Did something happen?" She asked. I sighed before sitting upright, looking at her.

"Momo, we are just friends, you know that right?" I asked. Momo suddenly looked hurt, but she forced a simple nod. "I'm sorry if you have feelings for me, but it's best for the both of us if you just move on. There are plenty of other guys who would love to be with you." I said.

"It's not that easy. How would you feel if someone told you to just move on from Jamie?" She asked. My heart pinched. She's right. I wouldn't be able to do it. I sighed again.

"Just tell me what happened. I'm here as a friend." She said. "In case you forgot, we were best friends since childhood, so spill it. I'm here to help." She said. I felt uneasy, but decided to do it. Maybe she can help?

JAMIE POVI went out of the school and started heading for home, alone. I took my time, moving slowly with my crutches. I passed by the café, and looked in, deciding whether or not I wanted to get something real quick. Then, my heart stopped as I saw Jimin with Momo. I ducked out of view and peered through the window. Jimin was dynamically explaining something, and Momo was intimately listening. My guess is, he was telling her about our fight. I sighed. This day is not going so well.

"BOO!" I heard from behind me, which made me shriek and jump in response. At that, I turned around, only to see Jhope. I quickly covered our mouths and pulled us aside, away from the café.

"Ssh! You scared me!" I said. Jhope laughed.

"Why are you being so cautious, is someone spying on you?" He asked. I shook my head.

"No, I was just deep in thought." I lied. Jhope chuckled again and threw his arm over my shoulder.

"So where's Jiminie? Weren't you guys supposed to choreograph today?" Jhope asked I shrugged.

"We aren't really in the mood to anymore..." I answered. Jhope's eyes widened.

"What?! What happened?! You guys both are always in the mood for dancing. And plus, Jimin was excited to dance with you all day, he wouldn't shut up about it." He explained. I sighed.

"We had an argument..." I revealed. His eyes widened again.

"About what?" He asked. I looked at him, then to the café.

"Well..." I said.

"Here, I'll walk you home. Tell me on the way." Jhope said. I slowly nodded and started to follow Jhope.

"So spill." He suddenly said, after a while of silence.

"It just blew way out of proportion. I went to watch Shinee's basketball game, and I didn't tell Jimin because I knew that he was at the competition. I didn't know he would return so quickly, and frankly, I didn't think he needed to know where I was all the time." I said. Jhope nodded in agreement and urged me to continue. "But he stomped into the gym all angry, and he started yelling and shoving Minho. So of course I got mad, I mean, he was over reacting. Then he started saying that he wanted to protect me and that Shinee is not trustworthy, and I appreciate that he is looking out for me, but I don't know, I didn't like seeing this new side of Jimin. I didn't feel safe." I explained. Jhope nodded.

"He gets like that. Jimin is really attached to the people he likes. He's one of the most genuinely kind people I know, but he tends to over react when it comes to situations he can't control." Jhope explained.

"But I feel bad because I said some hurtful things, and brought up his friendship with Momo, which only made it worse." I said, mentally face-palming myself.

"Momo? What about Momo?" Jhope suddenly asked. Whoops, I said too much.

"Oh... that's something else. It's not important. It just added fuel to the fire." I said. We neared my house as I finished my explanation. When we got to the front, we stopped. 

"I'm sorry you two experienced a fight like this. Give it time, and give him time. He's really stubborn, but he is quick to realize his mistakes. Don't worry too much about it. You two love each other too much to let this become too big of a problem. Minho and Momo are just side characters in your story, don't let them become too important. Jiminie will come around and apologize, either that or you will." Jhope supported. I nodded. Letting it all out did help.

"Thanks Jhope, you're the best." I answered. I hugged him and he hugged me back.

"No problem, I'm here to help. Did I give you HOPE?" He suddenly asked. I laughed and nodded.

"Bye Hobie Oppa, I'll see you later." I said. He chuckled and waved back as I neared my door.

"Oh and Jamie!" He said. I turned back around.

"Don't be too mad at Jimin. You became his soft spot, and he isn't used to having a soft spot." He said. I smiled and nodded. That warmed my heart. Then, I turned back around and went into my home.

It is 11:45 pm, and I am ready for bed. I went onto my bed, but looked to the window. The window itself and the curtains were closed, and I was debating whether to open it or not, because after today's argument, I didn't think Jimin wanted to wake me up tomorrow. I sighed and decided to leave it closed. My heart hurt. It wasn't the usual kind of pain I experienced on a normal basis. This was different. I felt like I had a hole pierced into my heart, one that needed repairing right away. I kept replaying the argument over and over again in my head, as if one of those times, I could take back what I said, or he can take back what he said, and everything would be okay. I laid down and tucked myself in, thinking of all the horrible things that happened today. Then suddenly, right before I drifted off to sleep, I heard a noise at my window. I opened my eyes, waiting to hear it again, but it never came. I decided to ignore it, so I closed my eyes again, but once again, right before I drifted off, I heard a noise, as if something was thrown at my window. I got up and opened my curtain, only to see Jimin, ready to throw another stick at my window. His eyes widened upon seeing me, and so did mine. He dropped the stick and gave me a small smile. He pointed at my window, indicating for me to open it.

I slowly opened my window, and Jimin sat down comfortably on his bed.

"Hey." He said.

"Hey." I answered. Jimin sighed.

"I'm a jerk." He admitted. I just looked at him.

"Listen, I'm really sorry about today... I was just... I was insecure." He said. My heart softened. "I constantly see you getting hurt, so when you didn't answer your phone, I thought something bad happened. Then, I realized you were with my enemy all this time, and I don't know, I just felt insecure because I, for a split second, thought you might have fallen for him." He explained.

"Jimin--"

"I know that's stupid, but I don't know what happened either. I'm not usually like this." He said, interrupting me.

"I know your not, and I'm not either. But... today, I saw a side of you that I never saw before... it was scary." I said.

"I know and I'm sorry. I don't know what went over me." He explained. I sighed.

"Jimin. I experienced things in my life that you probably can't even imagine. I have been yelled at plenty of times, and I have handled a lot... but the argument we had today was a new kind of pain. I don't want to go through that again." I explained.

"Me too. I'm really sorry. My words were harsh and I understand your not a dog on a leash. You deserve your freedom." He confessed, giving me soft eyes.

"It's okay Jiminie, we're okay." I said. At that, he smiled happily.

"I love you so much Kim Jamie." He said. I giggled.

"I love you too Park Jimin." I said. He smiled.

"Can I come over?" He asked. My eyes widened.

"Oh no no, my dad's home." I said.

"He doesn't need to know." He winked at me, slowly getting out of his window. My eyes widened.

"You're insane, I don't want you to die." I commented.

"I'd rather be insane for you and die trying to be with you, than to be sane and live a full eight feet away from you. It's torture for me to see but not touch you." He said, showing his cheesy smile. My Jiminie is back.

I moved off my bed, giving him room to jump. A few seconds later, I saw his figure hanging out of my window. He pulled himself up and into my room. He landed on my bed and spread his arms.

"Ta-da!" He said. I smiled and went into his embrace. We laid down on the bed and cuddled next to each other. My heart repaired itself, and I felt at home.

"I know you saw me with Momo earlier." He suddenly said. I looked up at him. "I heard you scream and saw you with Hobie hyung outside." He explained. I buried my face into his arms as he held me tighter. "I went to the café to calm myself down. She showed up and tried to cheer me up, and I explained to her that we are only friends. I care for you more than I care for anyone else Jamie, don't forget that." He said. I buried my face deeper into his arm. "Hey, Jamie look at me." He suddenly said calmly. I looked up into his dark brown, beautiful eyes.

"Never forget that." He repeated. I smiled and nodded, giving him a peck on the lips. Upon the contact, Jimin stared into my soul and we shared a connection. Then, a powerful force brought our lips together, keeping them in sync for what seemed like minutes.

After a while, we broke apart. I played with his hand in mine, and rested in his embrace.

"I'll stay until you fall asleep. Goodnight Jamie, I love you." He said, kissing my forehead. I smiled.

"I love you too. Goodnight Jiminie." I responded. With that, we snuggled up, cozily tucking ourselves in my blanket, and I drifted off to sleep for the third time, but this time, in the embrace of my happiness.
