Three Blind Mice

~ c h a p t e r ~ f i v e ~

V and Zen tried many ways to make Jumin happy today, they thought he deserved it for some reason.

They walked him around, showed him to the horse carriages, and even baked pies with him.

Jumin's feet were tired by the end of the walk. The horses reminded him of Elizabeth the 3rd, whom he had missed. And Jumin is not overly fond of sweets.

In conclusion, the day was hard for everyone.

The chefs were preparing for dinner. It would be a simple beef wellington with a risotto side, cooked by the one and only Gordon Lamsey.

Dinner was quiet until V had spoken up, he was trying to cut his steak with a spoon because he could not find the knife.

"Jumin, I need to be honest with you." V put down his spoon, "I am confused."

"About what V?" Jumin looked into his grey, blind eyes.

"Rika." V's hair covered his face as he looked down. "I am not in love with her anymore."

Both Zen and Jumin were surprised, they seemed like such a good couple.

"Jumin, I can not keep lying. I am gay." V quietly confessed.

"It's okay, V." Jumin said, "I already knew."

"So did I." Zen admitted, "I have a pretty radical gaydar."

It was silent at the dinner table for a few moments before Zen spoke up, "I am also gay."

"Zen, it's okay." Jumin said, "I already knew."

"So did I," V admitted, "No straight boy dances and sings in musical theatre, Zen."

It was silent once more.

"..." Jumin ate his meal, the tension in the air was thicc.

"Do you have anything to confess, Jumin?" V asked.

"Possibly about your sexuality not being heterosexual?" Zen pushed.

"I do not think so. Please, tell me if you discover something about my sexuality." Jumin thinks for a bit, "I wish to enjoy dinner, please do not make this awkward."

"Oh, yes you are right." V picked up the spoon and got back to work on his steak. 

Dinner soon came to an end and Jumin went to his room in the farmhouse, leaving V and Zen together.

"This has not gone as we have planned it to, huh Zen?" V sadly chuckled. 

"It appears not, but never fear! For I always have a backup plan~!" Zen heroically yipped. He took V to his room to discuss the plan, all while Jumin showered.
