Seokjin's POV

"Stop screaming." I mumbled to my shocked best friend.

"Wow. Seriously? You nonchalantly tell me that you're going on a date with Kim Taehyung, who not to forget is also Jungkook's best friend, and expect me not to scream. What the hell is wrong with you, Kim Seokjin?" He screamed again, tilting his head and glaring at me, at the same time.

"Do you really think I'm that calm about it, as it looks? And I never said I was going!" I scoffed, putting a hand over his shoulder.

"Then? And have you ever thought what would Jungkook do, if he found this out?" Jimin questions, making my heart pound ten times faster, than it has been all this time.

"As much as I don't want to be on even worse terms with him, this is really out of my control. I mean, Taehyung is his best friend, and he is bound to know, if we do go ahead with this." I spoke softly, rubbing my temple.

"And when he does, you're done for Seokjin. His hatred for you, hasn't really gotten any less in these 8 years, and as much as it hurts me to tell you, this will kill all the chances that you maybe, maybe still had. Plus, if Taehyung comes between all this mess that you two have going on, it's going to end up really ugly, and disastrous for all three of you." He uttered, a serious expression planted on his face the entire time.

And he was right.

Even though the past was in the past, Jungkook was never really gone from my life, and I'd be lying if I said, that his arms weren't home to me anymore, or that I wouldn't do anything to be back to him this instant. Marrying Taehyung, was out of the question. But how do I explain this to Appa? And what do I say to Jungkook, after that stunt I pulled back in the day?

He would probably laugh it off, if I somehow gathered the courage to tell him, that he was the only one in my heart, even now.

"What are you thinking?" Jimin's soft whisper, pulled me out of my thoughts.

"Just..... nothing. It doesn't matter what I think anyway." I shut him off, and walked back to the party.

Jungkook's POV

"And what has that got to do with me?" I asked, trying to look as unbothered as possible, while my heart was burning with this new discovery.

"Kook, masking your pain infront of me would do you no good. I know you through and through. And if Seokjin was gonna be involved, it's only fair to let you know in advance." Taehyung spoke calmly, putting both his hands on my shoulders and looking me in the eyes.

"Listen Tae, I don't know what you see and what not, but I'm not some heartbroken kid. It's been years to that, whatever we had, and I no longer have any feelings left for that person. Maybe I do, but those are only the ones of hatred and anger. Just that. So if you do want to ahead with this blind date, do that by all means. I stopped giving a fuck long ago." I spat, swatting his hands away in the process, and walking to the bar in search of something stronger, that could help me stay in this party for even a minute longer.

What was left for me here anyway? Life really is funny sometimes. The two people I once thought in life, were my greatest treasure, are now probably going to marry each other.

And while one of them I could still tolerate despite this new fiasco, the other one is someone I wouldn't ever forgive. And seeing them together would make me want to maybe end my life, but I can't and I won't.

Why Kim Seokjin? Why?

I clutched the glass too hard, resulting in small glass pieces flying around everywhere, and blood dripping down my hands, flowing on to the table.
