WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED ||JIKOOK ?

JIMIN POV

He had half expected Jungkook to come to him and try and convince him to stay but he didn't.

After the battle in the dining room the blood and the violence and mayhem, he had run to his room.

He had panicked and needed to get away.

The beasts that had burst through the windows were gruesome.

If Lizzy had such things at her beck and call, he feared what else she was capable of.

He wanted to leave but it was late. He planned to stay awake not able to relax at this point and leave at first dawn.

It was after two in the morning when someone knocked on his door. He was hesitant at first.

If it was Jungkook, what would he say?

The conflicting feelings he was suffering were still swirling in his head.

He walked over to the door and opened it and was surprised to see Tae standing there in his suit and looking just as sharp and put together as he had at dinner before the battle to the death had occurred.

"May I come in." He asked.

"Okay." Jimin wasn't sure what he wanted but considering the man had spared few words in his direction since his arrival.

He doubted it would be a long conversation.

Jimin walked over to the bed and sat on the edge.

He didn't know if that was bad manners or not but he was too tired to care right now.

Tae followed and stood in front of him a few feet away and spoke very clearly.

"Are you planning to leave?" he asked.

"Yes, in the morning."

"There is nothing for me here."he said the words but he didn't believe them.

"There is everything for you here." Tae countered.

"Jungkook has waited eight-hundred years for you to arrive and you give him but twenty-four hours before running away."

That was a direct blow and Jimin felt it as guilt was planted.

"I'm not what he needs."

"You are the only thing he needs Look to your heart and open your mind, This is your home."

"It has always been your home."

"You found your way here in a storm in the dead of night to a home that has been hidden for centuries, This is where you belong, Jimin." Tae let out a deep rumbling sigh and Jimin looked up at him seeing that he was frustrated and something else was there too.

It looked like sorrow.

"You care for him, it is present in your eyes whenever you look at him."

"You know that there is a bond between you and that you are his beloved don't deny him."

"don't run away."

"Stay and talk to him."

Tae finished and waited for a solid minute before turning away towards the door.

Jimin had nothing to say.

His heart was now in the same turmoil as his mind.

"I have to go." He said to Tae's back as he left the room and closed the door.

Now he felt like shit pulled in so many directions and fearing that he didn't fully understand anything that was happening.

Jimin pulled out his phone and brought up the pictures of the golden iris and studied the photos.

This was what brought him to the marsh and the lake and led him to this house.

It was a flower and now the iris was the furthest thing from his concern.

His life was shaken to the core and his reality had been challenged and here he sat staring at a photo that suddenly had no meaning anymore.

At dawn, he went downstairs and left by the front door.

He didn't see jungkook or Tae or even Lisa.

Jimin stepped outside and saw his small compact car sitting where he'd parked it looking no worse for the wear. He stopped and looked back at the mansion.

It looked brighter, less desolate than it had when he arrived.

Perhaps it was the sunlight that was making it seem so warm and approachable.

He shut down his thoughts and got into his car, starting it and quickly turning around in the drive.

He was at the gate when he stopped and looked back over his shoulder.

The house was much larger than it had appeared that first night.

The shutters were all in place, and no windows were broken.

It looked alive; it looked like a home.

Jimin put his eyes back on the road and headed back the way he'd come figuring he would meet up with the highway in a few miles.

Thoughts of Jungkook and their time together hung heavy in his mind.
