Fragile [ ✔️ ]

XII

Jimin patiently sat on a bench in front of the train tracks patiently waiting for the train and Yoongi. He fidgeted with his fingers and swung his leg back and fourth feeling his stomach turn thinking of being alone with Yoongi for hours. He would have never imagine in a million years that he could still be talking to this guy. A guy who accidentally dropped his wallet.

His phone buzzed receiving a message from non other than Yoongi.

Yoongi: Hey, I'm here. Where are you?

Jimin locked his phone getting up from the bench and looked for the small man with soft milky skin. He looked and looked around until he had finally found him. His heart was slowly thumping, little by little, it grew bigger and faster as he got closer to him.

" H-Hey.." Jimin said softly as he tapped his shoulder.
" Oh! There you are." Yoongi said with a slight smile. " I couldn't see you because well..," he paused looking at him up and down, " your small."
Jimins cheeks grew a bit warm embarrassed he was just called small, " Hey! You're small too! Not to mention I think I am wayyy taller then you!"
" Hey! Don't throw me under the bus like that! That is very rude!" Yoongi said with a chuckle.
" Hey, you started it first," Jimin couldn't help but laugh. Yoongi shrugged.
" So ready to go?" Yoongi asked as he pointed behind him, pointing at the exit of the station.
Jimin looked behind him and back at Yoongi confused. " The train isn't here yet,"
" No train. I have a car. Come on."
" But, I bought my ticket already," Jimin exclaimed sounding a bit disappointed.
" Oh well," Yoongi paused mid-sentence as he heard a man arguing with a lady at the ticket booth.
" I need a train ticket to Daegu today! Not tomorrow! Today! I'm seeing my family!" He shouted sounding extremely unhappy.

Yoongi and Jimin exchanged glances with each other, looking at the man and back at each other. They both exchange smiles and walked inside the station heading towards the unhappy man as the lady tried to reason with him.
" Excuse me sir?" Jimin says to the man.
" What do you want? Wait for you tu-" Jimin cuts him off pulling out his ticket and handing it to the man.
" It's a train ticket to Daegu," Jimjn says kindly with a warm smile making the man soften up, " go and see your family."

The man was in shock and felt guilty for shouting at him. He hesitantly took the train ticket and thanked Jimin many times before they both parted ways.

" Soo.. you're going to let that guy take a free train ticket? and he didn't even pay you back?" Yoongi questioned.
" Yep, the ticket wasn't that expensive," Jimin said as he scratched the back of his head,
" besides he was eager to see his family again."

Yoongi nodded at his statement and walked down the street towards his car as Jimin followed behind him quietly. He clutches onto his backpack strips for his dear life, nervous.

" I thought you had a motorcycle." Jimin said.
" Yeah, and I have a car. I think you can have more then one vehicle or something." Yoongi says with a small giggle.
" True," Jimin responded.

Yoongi unlocked his car and they both get inside the car. Jimin places his bag by his feet and looks around the nice leather of the car.

Yoongi starts up the car, taking in a few quiet deep breaths and begins to drive. Through the few minutes of the drive it was complete utter silence. They were both awkward and can feel the weird air roaming in the car making Yoongi uncomfortable. He shifts in his seat and puts his window half way down feeling the cool breeze.

Jimin bit the inside of his cheek nervously trying so hard to be calm, making sure his heart doesn't go pounding harshly just cause he was nervous.

Jimin clenched onto his pants tightly nervous, he wanted to end this awkwardness in the air between the two. He took in a shallow deep breath and turned to Yoongi.

As, Jimin built up the courage so did Yoongi. They had both spoken at the same time exchanging little laughs with each other.
" Go ahead sorry," Jimin says with a laugh.
" No, go ahead I'll go after," Yoongi responded.
Jimin nodded, " So, what made you want to tag along?"
" Well, it's Daegu I'm from there and because you seem cool to hand around with,"
" You're from Daegu?" Jimin asked surprised.
" Yeah, why is that surprising?"
" A little. Daegu to Seoul is pretty far. Must have a reason why you're here, but if it's personal it's understandable."

Yoongi had thought to himself if he should open up about himself just a little crack to Jimin. He is a complete stranger, sorta.

" Yeah, it's personal but nothing family wise. Just for myself, better myself I guess." Yoongi responds dryly.
" Better yourself?" Jimin questioned but had immediately backed out the question, " sorry, that's sounds like a personal question."
" No, it's fine. Well, back at home in Daegu I wasn't... the best person. I had problems, got into problems. I was just a bit..," Yoongi pauses mid sentence humming to find the right word to describe himself.

" Reckless?" Jimin blurted out thinking it was the right word Yoongi would have used.
" Yeah, something like that."
"Ahh.."

It had went silence once again. Yoongi didn't want silence or awkwardness in the air.

" What's with the bag?" Yoongi dramatically gasps " Are you running away?"
" Haha, funny but no. Just going to meet someone."
" Oh, someone?" Yoongi questioned.
" Yeah, just a quick friendly talk,"
" Is it friend? Girlfriend?"
" None, actually." Jimin nervously chuckles.
" So, just traveling?"
" Yeah, something like that. Just going to a tattoo shop, meeting someone there."
" You're going to a tattoo shop to meet someone, which sounds like you don't know them."
Jimin lets out a small groan by Yoongis response, " Okay, I'm going to Daegu to confront that one guy Kim Taehyung,"
" Your what?!"
