Chapter 22
≻───── ⋆✩⋆ ─────≺

Friday came and went, time not slowing Saturday arriving despite how nervous taehyung was.

The entirety of the morning, jimin had given countless talks of encouragement to the other. He'd done so for literal hours whilst taehyung got ready and prepared to go to jungkooks.

"It's almost five.." taehyung said, looking at the front door then back at jimin. "I think it's time to go, I texted and he said he's home."

Sure, he wasn't planing on doing anything extravagant but he hoped Jungkook didn't mind.

It really was now or never, it was a spur of the moment decision. It gave taehyung a burst of confidence to confess now, so there wasn't much time to plan.

Jimin nodded with a reassuring smile, "you got this !"

He smiled brightly as he watched taehyung get into their shared car, taehyung giving him a thumbs up before driving away.

The closer he got to jungkooks house, the more realization started to set in on taehyung. His heart started beating faster at merely the idea of confessing, but he figured it's too late to go back now.

Once he'd arrived, he didn't even need to knock at the front door but instead just walked in. It was a normal thing for the boy to just come by, so Namjoon just waved when he saw him walk in unannounced.

He was hesitant when he got to jungkooks room, standing still in front of the door for a few seconds before entering.

"Hey Tae." Jungkook said, smiling as he looked over at the other.

"Hey.." taehyung looked at him with confusion, Jungkook was in the middle of getting dressed up in a fancy outfit but for what ?

"What're you so dressed up for ?"

"Oh ! I have a date with San in a bit and he said I should dress nicely for whatever reason." He said it so nonchalantly, and that hurt taehyung even more.

'A date' taehyung thought to himself,

'you already knew you're not good enough for him anymore, why'd you try ?' Was all he could think, the words "date with san" repeating in his mind over and over like a broken record.

"Oh.. sounds fun !" He said with a smile despite how he felt on the inside, "hey, I forgot I have a paper to do so I should probably get going.. I'll see you later."

Before even letting Jungkook say bye, he was already rushing out the door and back down into his car.

He knew if he stayed just one more painful minute of watching kook get happy while getting ready for his date, he'd sob.

He's happy for Jungkook.. but not entirely. He wants him to be happy but also wishes he'd never met or befriended San in the first place.

Once he'd gotten home and gone inside, he was met with jimin who had a bright smile on probably expecting good news, but that disappeared the second he saw the other.

His hair was already messy, and still wet tears just kept spilling from his eyes down his cheeks.

"Oh, baby.." jimin mumbled to himself with a frown, quickly opening his arms out to invite the other into a hug.

"We can talk about what happened later, but for now let's just stay like this hm ?" Taehyung nodded in reply, waiting a bit to speak.

"It just really hurts, I think this is the most I've hurt my whole life."  He knew that may sound a bit dramatic, but it was true.

It hurt more than when the person he thought was his soulmate found his actual soulmate, and it hurt more than when his actual soulmate rejected him online.

Jungkook hadn't even rejected him, but taehyung decided he didn't need to.

He didn't want to somehow upset Jungkook and sans forming relationship, against his own wants he'd accepted that Jungkook liked San.

This was his final attempt at pursuing the other, yet it ended before even starting.

He may as well try to move on at this point, put distance between himself and the other out of fear that if she were close he'd never get over Jungkook.

But he needs to.

For Jungkook.

"Cmon taetae, you can sleep with me in my bed." Jimin said with a small smile, leading the other up to his room.

"We can watch a movie, or talk about what happened, or we could just sleep it's up to you."

"I'd like to just sleep jiminie." He replied, already crawling into under the covers not caring that he was fully dressed.

"Mkay." He lied with taehyung for a while, watching as slowly he went from shaking with tears, to breathing heavily, until his breathing was slowed and a calm look spread over his tear stained face.

Quietly as he could, jimin got up and took his phone with him to outside the door to call Yoongi, wanting to tell him how angry yet sad he was.
