The Act Before Love | BTS JIMIN fanfiction

Chapter Twenty-Five

Now that you thought about it, Taemin did go to the same high school as Jimin. And if Lia went to the same high school as Taemin, and Taehyung was high school friends with Jimin, does that mean they all went to the same high school together? Are they the ones on the picture?

Whatever. It's not any of my business anyways. 

You decided to go downstairs to get some fresh air, but when you came back, you overheard something you probably shouldn't have.

"Hyung? Are you here for Y/N?" Jungkook says.

Who is he talking to? Not wanting to interrupt, you hid yourself at the corner of the wall, where they wouldn't see you.

"Yeah," a familiar voice says. Jimin? He came to see me?

You took a peek at them, confirming that it was Jimin there.

"I think Y/N went for a walk. I'm not sure when she's going to be back," Jungkook says.

"Oh." Jimin seemed a little disappointed, "Well I'll get going then." 

"Wait, hyung."

"Hmm?"

"Do you like Y/N?" 

Jimin glances at the spot you were at when you peeked at them, although you quietly hid again.

"No." He simply says.

That one word hurt more than anything else. No? That's it?

For some reason, it didn't cross your mind that he was saying this to hide your relationship with each other.

You just wanted to cry until there were no more tears left. You didn't sign up for this heartbreak.

"Why are you asking?" Jimin says.

"Because I like Y/N," Jungkook suddenly says.

"Oh really?"

"I want to confess to her but I don't know how to. I need your help, Jimin."

"Jungkook I need to go now. Call me sometime and we can talk about it or something."

"Ok. You didn't change your number, right?" 

"No," Jimin says, "Oh right, could you give this to Y/N when she comes back? They're just snacks for her."

"Yeah, sure." Jungkook says, taking the bag from Jimin's hand.

They exchange their goodbyes and Jimin left. 

You were fairly sure that Jimin knew you were there, but just didn't say anything. 

You waited a minute or two before walking out, pretending that you didn't hear anything about Jungkook planning to confess to you. It was easier that way.

"Y/N, Jimin came by earlier to give this to you," Jungkook says, as a way of greeting you.

"Really?" you say, acting surprised.

"He left a few minutes ago," Jungkook says.

"Oh. Thank you for holding on to it," you say, giving him a small smile.

"I noticed there were snacks in there. Are they the ones you like?" he asks.

"Yeah," you quickly say before walking away, "I'm going to go and rest now. Goodnight!"

"Alright, goodnight, Y/N."

The second you enter your room, you collapse on your bed.

Jungkook? Likes me? 

Why?

How did I become the one involved in love triangles?

You see texts left by Jimin on your phone.

Jimin: Y/N you weren't at your house so I left some snacks for you with Jungkook

Jimin: I wanted to give it to you in person but you weren't there

You: Aww thank you!

Jimin: Baby I miss you 😘

Your mind instantly flashes to him denying that he likes you, and you feel as though your heart shattered again.

You: I do too

You were so tired that you just fell asleep like this, with your phone on your bed.

You slept in, since it was a Saturday morning, and you didn't feel like doing much.

Except a message from an unknown person forced you to let this free day go.

Usually, you wouldn't have pressed on it, but what you saw from the notifications caught your eye.

Unknown: sent a picture

Unknown: You wouldn't want anything to happen to your friend, would you?

Unknown: Read carefully and follow my instructions

Worried, you clicked into the picture. You see Chaeyoung there, tied up to a chair, blindfolded, and gagged. You don't see any sign of injury on her, but that doesn't make you less worried.

Unknown: If you dare call the police or tell your company about this...let's just say there will be consequences to that. 

Unknown: You're still not responding? What if I tell you this?

Unknown: We happen to know that Kim Jisoo had a secret boyfriend before debuting. What do you think will happen if we tell the world about that?

You couldn't resist the urge to reply anymore.

You: What do you want?

Unknown: Break up with your boyfriend. We know you're dating Park Jimin. Send a voice recording of you breaking up with him. And his reaction, of course.

Why would they care about his reaction?

You: Why do you even want me to break up with Jimin?

Unknown: Because you're meant to be with Taemin.

Unknown: And he can have another chance if you're single.

Unknown: Or...do we need to do something to him as well?

Crazy sasaeng. I better do as they say.

You: No! I'll do it

Why is this happening to me of all people? 

Unknown: What will you do?

You: I'll break up with him

Unknown: You have until 1 pm to send us the recording.

1 pm. It's 10:28 am right now. You still have time.

You get your car and drive to Jimin's house. A place where so many things have happened.

You sigh and get out of your car. You start the recording on your phone, and held it in your hand.

You take a deep breath and walk up the stairs to his door.

You rang his doorbell once, and after a few moments, Jimin opened the door.

"Y/N?" Jimin says as soon as he saw you.

"Jimin." You tell yourself to stay emotionless as you say this, because Chaeyoung's safety depends on this. "Let's break up."
