FORTY-NINE

PREVIOUSLY ON „THE DUO"

Yoongi and Jimin stayed for a while, played with the kids and talked to the couple till both children fell asleep. It was a nice evening, Jimin smiled happily as they said their goodbyes.

„Hope it wasn't that bad." Yoongi says as they're now walking to their car.

„No it was really nice." Jimin responds hugging Yoongi's arm tighter because it was pretty cold outside.

„I'm glad you liked it- them." the elder says smiling and Jimin nods.

„And I said they will love you." Yoongi adds looking lovingly at his partner.

Jimin just blushes slightly leaning his head against Yoongi's shoulder as they continue walking.

„Thanks for making me so happy." The younger says and Yoongi smiles. They stop in front of their car and the elder turns Jimin to himself to face him.

„There's nothing better and more important than seeing you happy, Jimin."

The younger just smiles at him softly before leaning in to kiss his lover.

All he needs is Yoongi to be happy.

THE NEXT DAY seemed frustrating. Jimin tried to stay as focused as possible but his mind didn't want to do what he wants.

He wants to trigger his last vision. He has to see it again.

It's scary but it's necessary. Maybe it will help him to prevent the worst from happening.

They are again at Jiho's place in his office, where they've spent the last few days. Today is the last one and Jimin is getting more impatient and frustrated. Yoongi noticed that it wasn't easy for Jimin, that he's putting too much pressure on himself and that he's desperate to get it as soon as possible.

„Don't stress yourself so much about it, Jiminie." Yoongi says patting Jimin's back.

„He's right. Take your time. It won't work if you put too much pressure on yourself." Jiho adds while flashing a comforting smile at Jimin.

Jimin presses his lips together, he's so close to lose his patience. He just wants to complete the process and connect his powers to Yoongi, he just wants to see the fucking vision so that he can prevent it from happening.

He doesn't want Yoongi to get hurt. He doesn't want to lose him. He wouldn't survive losing Yoongi.

„This sucks!" Jimin says slightly louder than he intended to. Both Jiho and Yoongi frown at him.

„It doesn't work. It never works! It's so fucking important but it won't work!" Jimin adds angrily getting up from the sofa with a frustrated groan leaving his lips.

„Jimin-"

The younger turns around, frustration and anger written all over his face as he looks at the two males in front of him.

„Jimin your eyes-" It was the last thing the young Officer heard before everything around him turns dark.

With one blink he finds himself somewhere else.

A place he has never seen before.

It's loud, but the sounds are muffled. He can hear shooting, bullets hitting walls around him.

He can hear someone shouting his name, but he can't really recognize the voice. It's one of the members but he isn't sure who exactly.

Other than the first time he got the vision, he can't see himself, it's like usually from the first-person perspective.

Suddenly his eyes spot someone lying on the floor. Jimin moves forward. He moves but he can't feel his body moving. It's a vision, it's not real. He's not real. Nothing about it is real.

Just the fact that it will happen someday.

Everything around him is blurry, his focus is only on the male on the floor, fully covered in Swat uniform, that should protect him, but it didn't.

Blood is covering his whole neck, while the male tries to stop the blood. But it's too late, he lost too much of it.

Jimin bends down, recognizing the face that was blurred till now.

It's Yoongi. And he's dead.

A loud gasp leaves Jimin's lips as he wakes up. Again he fell unconscious due to his vision. Finally it worked, even though the vision itself was anything but pleasing.

„Are you alright?" Yoongi's voice brings him back to reality making him blink a few times to get the images out of his head.

„Y-yes." He mumbles, slowly sitting up, realizing that they placed him on the sofa as he lost his consciousness.

„Did you see it?" Jiho asks after giving Jimin a moment to collect himself.

The younger nods, his eyes staring into space, „Yes. I saw the vision."

„That's good." Yoongi says caressing Jimin's back.

„It's terrifying." Jimin responds, his voice more like a whisper, „You died- in front of my eyes."

Yoongi gulps and nods silently.

„But I couldn't see much- I don't know when or where-"

The eldest interrupts Jimin, „It's different when you managed to focus the power on someone."

„What do you mean?" Jimin asks Jiho.

„If you have focused the power on Yoongi, you will be able to see one vision more often. It sounds complicated but it's pretty clear. You two are connected through the power. Till the vision occurs, you will be able to see it from time to time. Mostly when you fall asleep. You're mind will connect to Yoongi. Of course only if there's a vision about him." Jiho explains, earning a frown from both Jimin and Yoongi.

„So that means I will dream about the vision until it actually happens?" Jimin asks, hoping that it's not true. It sounds terrible, a nightmare repeating over and over again.

„Yes it's exactly like that, but not every night." Jiho says, „Don't be afraid- it can help you prevent it even better. You won't always see the same view. You probably saw a different view or part of the situation right?"

„Yeah- I saw it from a different point of view and it was longer." Jimin answers.

Jiho nods, „That means next time you will see even more or different views of it. That's good because it will help you."

„He's right, that's good Jimin." Yoongi says, trying to comfort the younger who's obviously disturbed.

Jimin however didn't say anything. He barely said anything in the following hour.

Jiho explained him how to handle it, that he should write it down as soon as he has a vision so that he can remember the details later. He tried to comfort Jimin and explain that their power is a blessing even if it's hard sometimes. It can save lives, it can help others, it's a good power. Nothing to be afraid of.

But Jimin is afraid. He's fucking scared.

Just thinking about Yoongi getting hurt, breaks his heart, shutters him to the ground, pushes him of the edge into a darkness he wouldn't be able to escape if truly something bad happens to Yoongi.

After their talk, it was time for them to leave. They thanked Jiho a lot for his help and kindness. They developed a friendship in such a short time and definitely want to visit the elder again.

Arriving at the apartment, they start packing their stuff. It's time to go back home, back to work, to the reality.

And reality hit him really hard.

Work itself was fine, the tasks were not that heavy. Jimin loves the job, but the constant feeling of angst and fear is following him around the whole time. The fear of losing Yoongi, of him getting hurt, of him dying, is killing Jimin. Of his vision actually happening.

There's nothing worse than that. Not even Yoongi's comforting words could help. They talked about it a few times since their return which was two weeks ago. But it never really helped Jimin to deal with it. In fact it made him worry even more.

His feelings for Yoongi grew day by day and so did his fear.

They got so close, Jimin can't imagine going a day without Yoongi let alone live without him. It's funny how intense his feelings for the elder are.

One night, Jimin couldn't fall asleep once again. He's tired, extremely tired but he's scared to fall asleep, scared to see the vision again.

Yoongi noticed it. Like he always does.

„You're still awake?" Yoongi asks because Jimin went to bed half an hour ago. The elder was in the shower and now that he's back, the younger is still not asleep.

„Hm. Can't sleep." The black haired Officer responds, turning around to lie on his back.

He feels Yoongi's hand softly caressing his arm, „You still worrying?"

„Never stopped." Jimin admits. A sigh leaves Yoongi's lips. It's quiet for a short moment before the elder sits up.

„Put some clothes on, we're going out."

Jimin frowns, „It's 10 pm?"

„Don't be a baby. Come on!" Yoongi says pulling away the blanket that covered half of Jimin's body. The younger still frowns while putting on jeans and a sweater. On top he adds a windbreaker, because it's almost December after all.

„Where are we going?" Jimin asks as they walk up to the shared car in the garage.

„Don't ask so many questions." Yoongi responds with a smile and before getting inside the car he pecks Jimin's cheek.

The younger is confused at first but after driving for a short while, he recognizes the place they're heading to. They parked the car and headed to their destination.

„It's been a while!" Jimin says as he breathes in the fresh air. It's freezing outside, but the weather couldn't stop them. A smile forms on Yoongi's lips as he watches Jimin running to the basketball field.

„That's true, now are you ready to lose?" Yoongi asks with a smirk, causing Jimin to laugh before grabbing the basketball still hidden in the bushes.

„Never!"

Jimin did get better over time but not as good as Yoongi. They haven't played for a while and in the end Jimin lost, again. Like always. But it didn't matter they had so much fun, it made Jimin forget all of his worries.

They didn't even notice the cold, that made both their cheeks and noses red and hands freeze. But it didn't matter. Now all they want is to forget their worries and just have some fun for once. It really helped Jimin.

Yoongi threw the ball in one last time before Jimin raised his hands in defense, "You won, I give up."

"Since when do you give up so easily?" Yoongi asks with a mischievous smirk on his lips.

"Since I started hanging out with you." Jimin responds before sticking out his tongue like a child. Yoongi snorted as he walks up to Jimin with fast steps.

"As if you don't like hanging out with me." The elder adds, stopping right in front of Jimin.

"No I hate it." Jimin jokes, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"Oh really?" The Sergeant asks, hiding his smirk behind a serious expression, "And what about this?"

Without giving Jimin the chance to be confused, Yoongi grabs Jimin's face and presses their lips together. The younger immediately responds to the kiss.

A smirk forms on Jimin's lips, causing them to interrupt the kiss.

„Hm. Maybe I will rethink my answer." Jimin responds looking deeply into Yoongi's eyes. The elder snorts softly before placing his lips once again on Jimin's.

Soon the two are involved in a passionate and heated kiss, lips hungry for each other as they continue to kiss in the cold.

It's a long and beautiful kiss, they're craving for each others lips as if they haven't touched for a while. And they haven't the way they're touching now.

Jimin feels his whole body tickling, it's like his skin is burning but in a good way. He loves being so close to Yoongi, kissing him with so much passion and love, it's like medicine to the younger. He feels good and safe, he feels loved, even though Yoongi never told him that he loves him. Jimin just knows. No words would be able to describe the feelings they have for each other. Yoongi's actions speak for it.

They deepen the kiss by Yoongi placing one hand on Jimin's lower back to press him closer to his own body. Jimin now has his arms around Yoongi's neck, pulling his face closer because no matter how close they are, it's never close enough.

They continue to kiss until it becomes hard to breathe. With a few pecks, they part, still staying in the same position.

"Let's stay like this forever." Jimin whispers against Yoongi's lips. Yoongi just nods while smiling softly. He places a short kiss on Jimin's swollen lips.

"Nothing can separate us now." Yoongi responds, leaning his forehead against Jimin's, "We will stay together no matter what."

"Yoongi.. I can't imagine living without you. I'm so scared." The last sentence was more like a whisper but the words reached Yoongi's ears louder than anything.

"Don't be. Everything will be fine. We will get through this, I know it." The elder responds, "We will figure it out, like always. Look how far we've already come."

Jimin remains quiet at first but then nods, because Yoongi is right.

They've come so far, nothing and nobody can separate them now.

Not even Jimin's vision.

But can he really be so sure about it?
