Black Heart

Liz was walking next to his brother, holding his hand as he watched his brother's face.

"You okay?" Liz asks as his brother turns to him.

"Yeah, of course, I'm fine. I'm just finally telling everyone the truth about everything." Jimin exhaled shakily.

"You don't have to tell them, they'll understand." Liz assures his brother as they approach the door leading to the secluded room.

They all decided to meet at a restaurant that had individual rooms, which Jimin got money for from both Leo and Jungkook. Jimin finally decided to tell everyone, excluding Chung-ha, Taehyung, and of course his little brother. They all knew the story as they were there. He didn't want anymore fights between him and Seokjin specifically.

"But I don't wanna keep this from them for too long."

"Jimin, I know how sensitive this is for you. Just take your time."

"I've taken enough time." Jimin nods before he opens the door to their reserved room.

Liz and Jimin smile at everyone who looks up at them.

"Finally! I thought we'd starve before you two got here." Seokjin smiled.

"You all can start eating while I tell you what I want to tell you."

"You don't have to tell me twice." Seokjin laughs before everyone begins eating.

"If it gets too much and you can't eat anymore, please tell me." Jimin says as he sits at the head of the table with his legs crossed.

"Uhm, alright?" Mani looks up suspiciously as she picks up her chopsticks.

"Where should I start? Uhm, we'll start when I was eighteen." Jimin exhales.

Seokjin drops his chopsticks, Mani starts chugging her beer, Rosé starts to quickly shove food into her mouth while Hye-jin slowly winds up before exploding.

"What the hell is wrong with your dad?!" She screams as she pulls at her hair.

"Can I castrate him? Will uncle Halo kill me?" Rosé growls, mouth full of food.

"You wanna cut his pleasure stick off the love of his life?" Liz reasons.

Everyone gags at the mental image before agreeing that Halo would in fact, kill them all as well.

"Well, are you gonna tell Jungkook?" Hye-jin sighs as she grabs her chopsticks.

Jimin shrugs as he continues eating.

"I feel like I should but I'm just too scared to. Ever since then I've always felt uncomfortable with telling anyone this story. Especially after it all happened and I tried dating again. You can ask Liz, Tae, and Chu. I never wore what I wear now." Jimin exhales through his nose before rubbing his neck.

"I'm scared Jungkook will look at me differently." Jimin shivers.

"You idiot!" Seokjin scorns.

Jimin looks up with a pout.

"That dopey alpha loves you so much. I remember hearing him call with Joonie and just went on and on about your smile, specifically. He's fucking whipped." Seokjin chuckles as he takes a sip of his water.

Jimin smiles to himself before frowning.

"But it's a lot of baggage." Jimin whispers.

"Jimin." Everyone says and looks at him as he looks up with puppy dog eyes.

"He has a mafia." Taehyung states.

"And a six-year-old son." Liz adds.

"Not to mention his parent trauma." Rosé mentions.

"And that crazy bitch that's trying to kill him." Mani laughs.

"Min, baby, I'm sure it won't be as bad as you think." Chung-ha assures her best friend before hugging him.

Everyone scoots over to Jimin and hugs him as well.

"Tell him whenever you're ready." Seokjin whispers to Jimin.

Jimin slowly starts to break down crying and everyone pancis. What just happened?

"I love you guys so much." Jimin sobs before everyone aws and hugs him tightly.
