“WHAT?” Six voices shouted in one voice.
The news was as shocking that, they couldn’t help but shout.
Honestly, who wouldn’t react the same when they hear their lover is in danger. Someone is targeting their seventh piece and how could they stay calm?
“Yes. So I need to know if there was anyone who hated Jaemin?” Wonhee asked.
Jungkook glanced at his five lovers and then at Jimin, their last piece, who have been quite ever since they started talking. Not only him, but also, Namjoon and Seokjin were unusually quite ever since they started talking. But they also seemed to be as shocked as the others. But for now finding who is trying to harm Jimin was more important.
It was hard to believe someone will hate Jaemin. Their lover was the most gentle and kind person, who never hurt anyone. But the way Wonhee asked, perhaps there is something they didn’t know.
“Jaemin was loved by everyone in the palace, I can’t recall anyone who would hold grudge against him.” Hoseok spoke after a short silence. The other five nodded agreeing with their lover.
“…Except the King.” Yoongi crossed his arms, his cat eyes sending chills down Jungkook’s spine.
Wonhee’s eyes darkened at the mention of that man. “I know. He was obsessed with Jaemin. But I am not talking about that. Instead, were there anyone who hated Jaemin in the royal court?” He paused glancing at Jimin who was silent, then continued. “Maybe a woman?”
“Are you suspecting someone?” Taehyung’s jaw tightened.
“I am not certain yet. According to Jimin’s dreams, there wass a woman from the court who hurt him. He don’t remember her name or face.” Wonhee answered.
Hoseok stood up from where he was sitting and sat beside Jimin, who flinched slightly at the sudden proximity.
Jungkook frowned. What happened suddenly that he is acting strange towards them. Even though Jimin wasn’t as close to them as he was in previous life, he was still okay with small touches and sitting close. But the sudden change made him feels like they did something wrong. Maybe they do. They really need to talk about it.
“Do you remember anything that might help us? Anything she said or done?” Hoseok asked, still not touching the smaller. He seemed to notice the change in Jimin’s behaviour.
Jimin glanced at Hoseok for a second then at others, except Seokjin and Namjoon. His eyes trembled as he tried to remember his dream.
Jungkook hated how fragile his lover looks. The first time they met in the palace, he noticed how much confident Jimin looked. But now, he is like scared kitten, not able to get along with others. And Jungkook felt sad. It’s all because of them. If they never met him, he would have lived his life happily.
“I- I don’t remember her face clearly.” Jimin’s voice was barely audible. But in the silence of room they clearly hear what he is saying. “But… She always mentioned about, how I tried to take something that was meant to be hers.”
“Meant to be hers?” First time Namjoon spoke, as his dragon eyes widened as if in realization. “What if it was the King she is talking about? What if the woman in the dream was the Queen?”
Jungkook looked at Namjoon, so does others, as realization hit them. His older boyfriend is really a genius. No one thought about it, how the Queen must have felt when the King decided to marry Jaemin. Of course she will be sad and angry. Still she can’t do anything to the King. So she will definitely going to take his anger on Jaemin. The woman in Jimin’s dream is surely the Queen, who must have thought Jaemin tried to take the King away from her.
But, how will they find the Queen after rebirth? They don’t know nothing about her. Even though, they know how she looked, in this big world, how would they even find her?
“How will we find her?” Jimin asked, as if hearing Jungkook’s thought.
“I think I have an idea who she is. I have only saw her once in my previous life though. But I know her.” Wonhee’s voice was serious. He glanced at Jimin and Bora. “And you both too.”
“Who is she?” Bora asked. Then her eyes widened as if she realised something. “Lina?”
Jungkook watched as Jimin’s head snapped towards Bora. Shock was evident in the smaller male’s eyes, which Jungkook didn’t understand. Who is Lina? If she is the Queen, how do they know her? Is she really the one who is trying to harm Jimin?
And if she is, now what? How will they find that women?
“Exactly.” Wonhee nodded, agreeing to Bora. “According to what I know, she hates you in this life too.”
“She always saw me as her nemesis.” Jimin was fiddling with the hem of his shirt. A frown appeared on his face, suddenly. “But, do you think, she remembers her past life?” He asked.
“I don’t think so. Maybe it’s because of natural instinct. And she liked Yejun from the start. Maybe she sees you as a rival because, just like in the past, Yejun give you more attention.” Wonhee answered, reaching out to squeeze Jimin’s smaller hands.
Jungkook looked at Jimin, who sighed heavily but nodded nonetheless. If this person who is trying to hurt Jimin is the queen, then it’s going to be more harder to deal with. From what they heard from Wonhee and Bora, Yejun the previous King had feelings for Jimin. But about Queen, she don’t have any sympathy. She is here for revenge. And looks like she is after Jimin’s life.
But, as long as he and his other lovers are alive, no one can harm Jimin. They won’t allow anyone to touch their seventh lover. They want to keep him alive, at least in this life. History can’t be repeated and Jungkook is ready to sacrifice anything to keep his younger lover alive with them.
“We will miss you Baek Yejun.”
“You will always be loved, Yejun.”
“RIP Baek Yejun.”
Jimin knew, scrolling through social media is not a good decision.
He knew it already.
But he still wanted to know what is going on while he is away.
But, it’s been more than two weeks. Still Yejun’s fans are crying all over the social media.
If only they knew their idol’s real personality. Maybe some of the fans will still support him. Fans are really blind sometimes.
Not only Yejun’s fans, but also some of his own followers are mourning the lose of the famous k pop celebrity.
Jimin can’t blame them though, Jimin himself used to idolize him. His stomach churn at the thought of that creepy person. If he wasn’t the one who suffered it all, he wouldn’t have never believed Yejun is a monster. Jimin felt disgusted that his role model was that man.
“Jiminah.” Namjoon’s voice heard from the door, along with the sounds of gentle knocks. “Bora asked if you want some snacks?” His voice was uncertain.
“No, I am going to take a nap.” He lied, still not letting the man in.
It’s been couple of days, he accidentally walked in to Namjoon and Seokjin kissing. Ever since he has been avoiding them.
It’s not like he is disgusted or something, it’s more like he is longing to have that kind of affection. Even if it’s not a kiss, he want someone to hug him whenever he craves for it. He want someone to understand him, even without him talking, just like those six do. Even though he puts a tough exterior, he want someone to take care of him and pamper him.
But the problem is, he want that someone to be these six people, who had been his past life lovers. He want them to be his lovers in this life too. And he know, they also want the same. They have been giving hints about it past couple of days. But they are still trying to respect his privacy and opinion and not forcing or telling him that on face. They are considerate and really really loveable.
Again, the issue is Jimin. He is not ready to be in this relationship. They love him just because, he was Jaemin in the past. They loves Jaemin. His kind and bubbly personality and loveable character. It’s his personality that they fell in love with, his appearance was just cherry on top.
But Jimin, he only have that face. Other than that he is nothing like Jaemin. They will hate him in few momths with him and will get bored of him, just like his childhood friends did.
That’s why he stopped making friends. Almost everyone gets bored of him easily. But he can’t blame them for that. He is boring, he didn’t know how to communicate and how to grab attention.
But, over the time he started putting an interesting facade. If it’s not for that, he wouldn’t have been a successful idol.
But still, Jimin is Jimin. His original personality willl come out when he gets close with someone. He gets angry easily, he hurts people verbally, even though it’s not intentional.
“We never met but …”
Jimin got startled when suddenly his phone rang. His latest and award winning song echoing in the cozy room, interrupting the silence.
He picked up the phone. A heavy sigh left his lips when he saw the caller ID. An unknown number, again.
He doesn’t pick up stranger’s calls. He is scared that it will be sasaengs.
If it was any work related they would’ve called Bora, and if it was his family, he already have their number. Even if they call from another number, they would call Bora when he doesn’t picks up.
And this person have been calling him for past few days. And his introvert self will never want to pick up an unknown call, even if it’s not sasaeng.
Pressing the power button, he was about to scroll again.
But another knock on the door made him pause. “Jiminah, please can we talk to you?” It was Seokjin. His voice was almost pleading. Jimin felt a tug inside his heart.
Placing the phone on nightstand, he stood up. Taking a deep breath, he opened the door to find six handsome guys standing outside his room like lost puppies.
Their eyes lit up as soon as they saw him. “Jiminie.” Jungkook called out, as they all took a step forward, except Namjoon and Seokjin. They stood there like they did something wrong.
Jimin felt guilty. Is it because he avoided them? Is he the reason for their nervousness? Did he offend them? But he just wanted to keep a little distance.
Ever since he walked in to them few days ago, he blatantly ignored them. Only answered when they asked something. He behaved like they did something wrong, when he himself was the one who was insecure.
“I-” before he could continue, he was cut off by Hoseok.
“Would you like to have a talk with us?” The older asked, as they all looked at him with puppy eyes. They were pleading, even Yoongi who barely show any emotions on his face.
‘Please. “Taehyung added, reaching out for Jimin’s small hands. The older male gently squeezed his hand, as if trying to reassure him.
Jimin’s heartbeat increased at the gesture. The touch made him feel giddy. In trance he nodded his head, making way for them to get inside room.
They did, one by one they all followed him in, and sat on the floor in a circle, where they used to sleep when he was in coma, leaving a space for him to sit.
Even between his inner turmoil, it made him smile a little.
Taehyung patted the empty place beside him, and Jimin without any thought, sat between Taehyung and Yoongi.
And, now what? What do they want to talk? Are they going to call him out for ignoring them, especially Namjoon and Seokjin? Are they upset because of him?
Jimin had never been someone who talks openly. He just had this inner layer, where he hides his feelings. And, he also expect it from others. He is ready to hear their problems and console them, but when someone point out his insecurities, he takes it so seriously.
And, if it’s going to happen now, he really don’t know how to react. What will he do?
“We have been wanted to talk to you for sometime now. But you weren’t in your best condition. And now you got better, we would like to address this problem.” Yoongi was the first one to speak, his voice calm and serious.
The words send chills down Jimin’s spine. What do they want to talk about? Will he be able to handle it?
