FORGOTTEN FIRST LOVE // TAEJIN

14. Dinner

14. Dinner

"Hi, my name is Kim Taehyung. Yes, I am Jimin's friend." He threw a forced smiled towards Jimin's direction. "His best friend to be exact."

Taehyung can't process everything that is now in front of him. For three years he had wondered where Seokjin is, heck he even confided on Jimin about it; and now, he will find out that his best friend is with Seokjin all along. What a fucking traitor. He feels so mad about it. Taehyung can't come to any other conclusion why this happened. The only thing he can conclude is that Jimin is in a relationship with Seokjin and this asshole, most likely along with Seokjin's brother hid Seokjin from him.

And now, apparently, Seokjin doesn't even recognize him. Did he have an amnesia too?

Taehyung wanted to laugh at the turn of events that happens in his life who would have thought that it will come to this. One day, he decided to redeem himself and be good to Seokjin, then *boom* in a blink of an eye, Jin is gone and he no longer feel himself breath and his soul left his body.

"Oh sweetcakes, he's your best friend? Why didn't you tell me he is coming? I could've prepared treats for both of you." Jin said and walked past Jimin to face Taehyung.

"Uhm, Taehyung come in. Let me show you our home." Taehyung looked at Seokjin with longing in his eyes as he unconsciously followed the man inside. He listened closely as Jin instruct Jimin what to do to make Taehyung feel welcomed.

"Your home? I thought this is Yoongi's?" Taehyung asked.

"Before it was theirs, but since they adopted their little baby, they decided that they needed to move out and find a much better environment for their growing child. Jimin found out about it and we decided to move here." Seokjin looked at Jimin with fond eyes and held his hands before they make their way to the living room. "As you know, my sweetcakes here started a business in this state and so far, so good. his restaurant is doing well enough to sustain our living."

Taehyung asked himself again, how well does he know Jimin? Because right now, hearing Jin speak, none of them was he aware of. His best friend, his soulmate kept things hidden from him. But despite all his thoughts, Taehyung knew he is somehow at fault. Jimin is nothing but a good best friend to him, while he on the other hand, let Jimin slip away.

Standing here now with both Seokjin and Jimin in front of him, Taehyung is being reminded of the good things he had before, but because of his fears he both lost them.

"Take a seat first." Seokjin said.

Taehyung noted that Jin looked happy. A smile forming on Jin's lips more than he did when he is with Taehyung. he wanted to wallow at his self-pity at that moment, but he didn't. He saw his phone lit up and Seo Joon texted him that he will be back in an hour. He didn't type a reply to his hyung and put the phone back to his pocket. When he looked up, Jimin is still eyeing him.

Seokjin is sitting beside Jimin holding his hand.

Painful. So painful. He thought, but he smiled anyway, he can't have Seokjin wondering why he would suddenly throw a fit and cry in front of them. As much as possible, he will try and get nearer to the both of them to find out what happened.

"How long have you been together?"

With their hands clasped together Seokjin's mood instantly lit up when asked that question while his supposed to be best friend didn't even spare him a glance when he kissed Seokjin's cheeks. Taehyung took it as a mockery, Jimin knows what he feels about Seokjin, but Jimin still does all of this, like telling him that he now owns Seokjin.

Taehyung balled his fists.

Traitor.

"One year." It was Seokjin who answered him.
