So Sweet, So Cold

Chapter 30

"Jiminie, please. Put that down." Namjoon pleaded to his friend who's now standing on the top of a bar counter with a wine bottle over his head. Babbling and crying with a sway made it easy to guess that he was sure as hell was drunk.

"No!! Joon. Can't you see? *hiccup* I am having a little talk with my friend right here?" Jimin said pointing and looking at the bottle in his hand.

"For God's sake, Jimin-ah. We can't do anything about this. So stop hurting yourself!" Namjoon sighed. People was glancing and mumbling at them. It's not helping the fact that one of them is the bar owner himself and the other is the MD of a big company. They were familiar faces so it excited people to give their attention to them more.

Rubbing his hand over his face, Namjoon stood up from his seat. It's enough. Enough shit is just fucking his mind. He pulled a complaining Jimin down from the bar counter, dragging him to one of the private VIP rooms.

"Sober up Jimin. It's enough." Namjoon said forcing glass of water to his devasted friend.

But Jimin pushed the glass aside, breaking it into pieces as he screamed, "I DON'T WANT TO!! I DON'T WANT!" Dropping down on a sofa he choked out a sob, "It hurts! Namjonn-ah, it hurts. When I have to pretend it's not affecting me to see him getting married. Getting into something he doesn't want. And what? I have to wish him good luck!? Fuck!! I can't." He cried.

Namjoon looked down at the floor sighing. It's weird to see his friend so broken. Not really. It's not about his friend. It's just about Park Jimin. The cool, invulnerable Park Jimin, the rising star of the clubs and bar business in South Korea. He never imagined his single liking on Kim Taehyung would turn out this huge as the love that it would leave him so open to hurt, so messed up.

Crouching down beside Jimin, Namjoon patted his back to calm him down a bit. Voice gentle and soft as he spoke, " I understand. I really do. But we can't do anything if Taehyung doesn't want it, Jimin. Just- You need to understand it."

And maybe it broke Jimin more as Namjoon felt his shoulder shake with a painful cry, piercing the room with sadness. "Just why is he doing this to himself, Joon-ah? I could just help him! But he wouldn't even listen!" Jimin sobbed shaking Namjoon by his shoulder.

That's right. After getting the invitation to Taehyung's engagement, Jimin tried to contact Taehyung but seemed like the latter was avoiding him. Even after waiting in his house road, he didn't get a hold of Tae. And when he did, Taehyung flatly said that he doesn't want any change.

He would just accept it as it is. Also that Jimin should also stop worrying so much, that he would get nothing out of it. And it broke Jimin. Cause he doesn't want anything. Even if the latter doesn't reciprocate his feelings, he would still want him to find his happiness and not to live the life that he is forced into, being something that is not how he is.

But lastly,

"Hyung, I think you should stop waiting too. I am sorry." Taehyung said as he was back facing Jimin before walking off. And it pierced Jimin's heart.

"I am sorry. Am so sorry, Taehyung-ah. Hyung couldn't keep his promise. I couldn't help you. Am so sorry." Jimin cried hard drenched in agony even after witnessing Taehyung's most vulnerable side, he couldn't help him. He couldn't keep his promise. He couldn't save Taehyung from himself.

Namjoon's hold on his shoulder tightened, steadying him. "It's ok, Jimin-ah. Please don't do this to yourself. You know, if he thinks this is how he wants it then let him be happy. Just let's wish the best for him. Let's wait till fate and time fix things themselves.

Jungkook groaned. Banging his head on his computer table. He was never the one to lose in overwatch this many times in a row. But nowhere he is lost in the same level 5 times already! Throwing his headset on the table, he fell flat on his bed.

"Agh!!"

Why minds are like this? Even if we want to keep something out of it stl it just keeps popping up, poking all the same interest more and more? Like right now, Jungkook's mind is just kept reminding him of the conversation with Seokjin in his house.

*Flashback*

"Seokjin, Why did you kiss me that day?"

And there was some silence followed after the statement, not even the sound of chopsticks or any material clicking. Just the pin-drop silence with both their eyes on each other. Jungkook was trying to make something out of Seokjin's face but the latter's face was blank and hardened. For a moment he thought maybe it's not the right time to ask something like that.

And when Seokjin decided to speak up then Jungkook realised, he wasn't ready. Not ready for whatever gonna come out of those pretty lips. He isn't prepared to take it. Good or bad. So....

"I like-"

"STOP!!!" Jungkook practically screamed cutting off Seokjin. "D-Don't tell me anything now! Don't answer..... Just tell me about it on Taehyung's engagement, yeah."

After staring at the bunny boy for a good few moments, Seokjin nodded in understanding as he delivered his attention back to his food again.

And Jungkook suddenly felt very weird and awkward. 'Why I even ask that in the first place? Just to scream to stop!? God.' He thought cringing at himself.

"I have something to tell you as well. So just say it on Taehyung's engagement." Jungkook said quietly.

"Ok"

*flashback ended*

Bruh. Now he is curious what was Seokjin going to say? He likes....? He likes what? Trees, flowers, bear what? Aghhhh! Ok. Maybe he should just get his shits together and calm down soon cause Taehyung's engagement party is just 3 days away.

Jungkook sulked, flipping the pages of the book laying beside him absentmindedly as he was thinking back to things and so on. And then like a sudden flash that can blind one's senses, a poll of thoughts crossed in Jungkook's mind. He jolted up from his posture.

"Are you and Yoongi that close?"

"Do you like him?"

"Does he like you?"

"Ok"

"I like-"

"Wh-What if Seokjin actually likes Yoongi?"
