Boy In Luv | Taejin ✓

18. Two-timing?

"J-jin??! D-did you just.. give Jungkook y-your first k-kiss?!"

"Tae..."

"W-why Jin?!" Taehyung's tears continued to stream down his face. "So it's true. You really didn't like me?!"

Jin couldn't find where to start as he wanted to say a lot of things to Taehyung. But he turned to Jungkook as the latter suddenly said, "Wait Jin, that was your first kiss? You should've told me." He reached for Jin's hand, "I could've made it more special for us. Not on a night like this."

He wanted to pull his hand from Jungkook but Taehyung was quick to pull Jungkook away from him, his eyes widened as Taehyung swings his fist on Jungkook's face, causing the latter to fall down to the ground.

"Tae!! Stop it!!" Jin tried to shout at Tae to stop him from attacking Jungkook, but it didn't work. Taehyung hovered over Jungkook, taking him by his collar and repeatedly punched Jungkook on his jaw.

"Tae!!!!" Jin pulled Taehyung with all his might and he finally managed to push him away from Jungkook.

"Kook, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Are you okay?!" Jin is panicking as he saw Jungkook bled profusely.

"I'm okay Jin, don't cry." Jungkook said as he spits out blood. He then turned to Taehyung, stood up and tried to get near him, "You fucking asshole!!"

But Jin stood between them, "Stop it please!! Tae, what is wrong with you?!!"

"Me?? I'm the one who's wrong now?!" Taehyung is raging mad, he's breathing hard as he speaks, "Fuck that Jin! You just fucking kissed Jungkook!!"

"And so??! You just fucking kissed Jimin too!!" Jin shouted at him.

Taehyung's eyes widen, shocked that Jin knew about what happened earlier.

"Oh yes, surprise Tae!! I saw you!! I knew now!! I was such a fool to think that you can be honest with me!! That I can really be someone who you can be contented with! That you can actually like someone like me!

I was never good enough for you, Tae. You just used me for nothing. I hate you!! I hate you so much!!" Jin is already a crying mess in front of Taehyung.

However, Taehyung just cried, confused as to whether he should apologize for what happened with Jimin, or should he get mad at Jin cheating on him with Jungkook.

He knew that he never used Jin and he truly liked him, he even knew deep inside him that he loves Jin as he never felt this way before with anyone. But a part of him is furious. He thought Jimin was telling him the truth. Jin is with Jungkook, and who knows for how long he's been playing him for a fool.

Jin didn't wait for Taehyung to talk back, he just pulled Jungkook to walk away with him, "Let's go Kook!"

Taehyung just watched them go, thinking that Jin just chose Jungkook over him, leaving him crying at the middle of the garden.

*******

In the hotel balcony, a table exquisitely set up with a dessert and cheese sampler, along with a sparkling non-alcoholic wine cooling in a bucket on the side, is the first sight that will meet one's eye upon entering.

Taehyung slumped himself on one of the chairs in the table, crying and just staring at the dessert. He thought Jin would've loved it, if only he was there too, sitting in front of him.

He pulled out the box from his pocket, as he remembered he got Jin's gift from his hyung. He opened it and saw a bracelet with intertwined rings and a small folded note beneath it. He felt even more hurt when he saw it,

"What a lovely gift from a liar!!" Then he closed it back without even touching the bracelet nor the letter.

"Tae, are you okay? I thought you'll have a private time with Jinnie here? But I saw him hurrying out the hotel with one of your classmates. What happened?" Hobi asked as he entered the balcony.

Taehyung has arranged a private table to be set up in the hotel out the balcony for him and Jin. He knew that the party will have a lot of unnecessary visitors but the only person he'd like to spend the night of his birthday with is Jin. So he asked Hobi if he could help him set-up a private spot for them two.

"H-he already left. He chose Jungkook over m-me, hyung." He started to cry again. So Hobi walked to his brother and took him in his arms.

"I thought h-he felt the same way about me. B-but he's a liar, hyung! I-I hate him!!" He added while he sobbed in his hyung's embrace.

"No way. Jinnie isn't like that, right? You should talk to him properly, Tae." Hobi just patted his brother's head. This is the first time he saw Taehyung this broken. Moreover, it is the night of his birthday. A night he expected to be perfect for him and Jin.

Seokjin's P.O.V.

As I rest my head on my pillow, I realized I've never felt this heavy before. I did experience some horrible bullying, but this is worse. I still cry at the sight of Jimin and Tae together which is playing in loop inside my head.

I thought this night would be perfect for me and Tae. It never crossed my mind that I would hate him this much by the end of the night.

But I hate myself too. How could I kiss Jungkook like that?! I know what Tae did, playing with my feelings, was wrong. But it doesn't mean I should stoop as low as to getting back at him by kissing Jungkook. I didn't want Kook to think that I was using him against Tae.

But I was caught up at that moment when I wanted to know how it feels to be with Jungkook. Maybe it feels better, maybe I'll be a little happier. But Tae is the only one that's in my mind. And I hate it. I hate that I only think of him now. I hate that I still want to hold him right now and prove him I'm better than Jimin. I hate this feeling so much!

I've always thought that a boy in love is the greatest feeling.

No, it's not. It's just a fantasy. It doesn't exist. It will just make you happy for a while then it will hit you harder and twice as much. And it will leave you broken, helpless and hurt as hell.
