Chapter-32

Rose's pov.

              I stood there in the bakery, waiting for Jimin as he was late today. Usually, he's never late but what happened a few days back, really affected him.

             He seemed distant and I know he had every right to do so but still... It hurt, it hurt watching him trying to act so so normal when I knew he was hurting.

            I know I had no right to tell Jungkook what he was going as it was solely his business to do so but I couldn't control... I control the anger that built up in me. I didn't know what made me angrier, the fact the Jungkook was hurting Jimin or the fact Jimin still chose Jungkook over me, again and again.

        I felt bad, and I wanted to apologize but I didn't get the chance to do so, as Jimin wasn't really present at the bakery or even if he came, he would just mind his own business and leave as soon as he was done with his work.

       He was up to something and I really wanted to know what...but he wouldn't tell me.  I guess I messed up...I messed the chance to build our friendship.

        I was so embarrassed to find out that Jungkook had a crush on me...I wonder if it was the reason that Jimin wasn't talking to me. I just wanted to clarify that it was only one-sided and I had eyes only for him...only he let me explain.

        I was busy thinking about him, when the door to the kitchen burst open, revealing Jimin. He waved me a hi and instead of putting on his apron, he went straight to the locker where employee keep their things and picked up a few things that belonged
to him.

     " You're going somewhere?" I asked as I approached him.

    " Leaving," he shortly replied.

    " Look, Jimin if it is because of me
.. I am genuinely sorry." I sincerely tried to apologize.

     " No, it's not because of you, Rose. Not everything is because of you," the words came out rather bitter and I was taken aback. " I am leaving because I want to leave, not because of you, not because of Jungkook or anyone."

     " What...What would you do then? About...you know... your anxiety and..." I choked on my tears as it was getting hard to control the urge to cry.

Jimin was being harsh to me...he never behaved like that.

     " I have better ways to cope. I am leaving for Italy tonight," he dropped the bomb and I really could process what he said.

     " You What?" I almost screamed.

      " You heard right..." He sighed, " can't give everyone one speech about why am leaving but trust me I am going for good," he said in a way that soothed my aching heart.

       " I...I... I won't ask why you're leaving but does... Does Jungkook know?" I asked coz I wanted to know how Jungkook was letting all that happened.

       " No, he doesn't. And please don't tell him until I leave... I won't... I won't be able to say Goodbye to him." His voice ached as he gulped a lump.

       Even if he doesn't tell me, I knew why he wanted to leave. And no matter how much I was bitter about Jungkook hurting Jimin. I knew one thing that...

        If Jungkook is causing him pain...only he can be the cure.

        So, even if Jimin asked me not to tell Jungkook about him leaving... I had to... I had to tell him..so that they both same themselves more misery.

Jungkook's pov.

            The day after that incident, I wasn't my usual self. I was locked up in my room, thinking about nothing but him.

           I desperately wanted to go and hug him, whenever I saw the lights of his room turned on but what if he rejected me. What if he chose to do what I did to him.

         I caused him so much pain, and that only thought was enough for me to keep me up all night.

         And then, there always appeared an image of him kissing Rose, which made me think that he is over me. He can move one. He deserved to be happy.

       But why did the thought of letting him go, made me sick to my stomach. Why did that thought always stabbed my heart and it pained, there was no end to it. As if the pain was endless... As if the only end to it was death.

       I wanted to tell him so many things... I wanted to tell him about how felt when I cheated... I wanted to tell him how I cried every night thinking that I lost you... I actually did lose him. 

          I was thinking about all of this and crying when suddenly my phone buzzed... I looked at the screen and it was... Rose.

I didn't pick up.

           I didn't know why she was calling but I had no mood to listen to her. She did what she could and it worked. Jimin and I weren't even on talking term and she got lucky to have him.  They both were together and I really hope they were happy.

           The phone kept constantly ringing and I kept ignoring it. I had no idea why she was so eager to talk to me.

         After some time the stopped ringing. I sighed as I laid on my bed, looking at the ceiling aimlessly, hoping for a miracle to happen.

       We were best friends, we were boyfriends, we were neighbors but now... we were back to being strangers like we both didn't know each other and our families never knew each other.

My phone buzzed again and this time it was a message.

Rose,

You fucking piece of shit, I've been calling you for hours and you are ignoring me, you can go to hell for that but let me tell you one thing...Jimin is leaving for Italy in an hour, go and stop him if you actually love him. Otherwise, you're going to regret your whole life.

     My breath hitched as my heart started beating at the fastest pace.

Jimin was leaving...he was going far away from me...

I...I had to stop him.
