chapter four

we don't have to talk about it

shin minseo

pounding. pounding is all i felt as i attempted to open my eyes. as i slowly manage to do so, i realize i'm in my bed. clueless as to how i got here, i try to remember the events of last night, but nothing comes to mind. i look around and see a small piece of paper on my night stand.

min,

i brought you home last night after the incident. I left some pain killers in your bathroom. please call me when you wake up. we need to talk.

- jungkook ;)

after reading the note i begin to remember last nights events. jimin making out with a girl on the couch. jungkook bringing me to his room. jungkook and i kissing, an amazing kiss at that. i felt things i've never felt before. i remember we made out for almost an hour before jungkook decided to take me home. i touch my lips and smile at the way his lips made me feel.

suddenly, i hear the jiggle of a key ring at my door. jimin is here. i quickly grab the note and throw it away, then run into the bathroom and lock myself in. i wasn't ready to see him.

"baby? are you in here?" he calls out in the sweet voice i've always knew. it made me sick to my stomach. "baby? i'm sorry about our fight, i over reacted a little..." i hear him walking through the room.

"i'm... i'm in here." i stutter, trying not to let him hear my tears. we were both unfaithful last night, i can't truly be mad at him anymore when i did the same thing. we both acted out in anger. jimin tries to open the door. "it's locked..." i mumble.

"unlock it, i want to apologize to your face, baby." he coos through the door.

"just one minute please." i say as i attempt to calm the redness of my face. i quickly take the pain killers jungkook left me. one last look to make sure most of the redness is gone, and i unlock the door. jimin pushes through immediately, i can't help but feel anger the minute his soft eyes met mine.

"baby, i'm so sorry i didn't come back. i needed time." he states as he hugs me. the hug feels suffocating knowing his sweet mouth is spitting harsh lies.

"where did you go?" i ask him curious to see what he would say.

"i went to yoongi's place. he helped me calm down and figure out how to apologize to you." he states so effortlessly. i want nothing more than to catch him in this lie, but that would mean he would catch me in mine too. "what friend took you home?" he asks me.

"jungkook." i wasn't going to lie like him. i wasn't going to tell the whole truth, but i wouldn't lie like him. he lifts from the hug to look at me.

"purple hair guy? why did he take you home?" he asks, no suspicion evident in his voice thankfully.

"yeah, he saw me walking down the street and offered a ride."

"oh, okay. i'm glad someone took care of you while i was out being an ass." he says. you got that right. "i'm so sorry baby." he coos.

"i'm sorry too." i say. he laughs and tells me I already apologized. but i wasn't apologizing for the show anymore.

-

jimin left for school and i stayed home from the salon today. i wasn't feeling up to it for more reasons than one. i still hadn't called jungkook like he asked me to. we don't have anything to talk about, it was a stupid in the moment act and i'm getting over it. jimin and i are okay now. jungkook was a one time thing. if word gets out that i cheated on jimin, it will ruin me.

i've gotten countless messages from jungkook, but i've ignored them all. he doesn't need to know how i'm doing. as i'm lost in my thoughts, i begin to hear knocking at the door. i let out a large sigh as i get up to see who it is.

"min, i was so worried! why haven't you texted me back?" jungkook demands as he pushes his way into my apartment.

"jungkook what are you doing here? jimin could be home any minute!" i shout back at him.

"not likely." he plainly states.

"what's that supposed to mean?"

"i saw him getting in sojee's car." he scoffs.

"who's sojee?"

"that girl whose face he was eating last night."

"what? he got into her car?" i ask, tears filling my eyes once more.

"yeah, i've seen them all around campus for months now. i thought they were just a couple. they've been to my parties a few times. how have you never questioned his random disappearances?" jungkook spits out so much information at once.

"why didn't you tell me?" i ask

"min, i had no clue you were his actual girlfriend, i've only ever seen him around with sojee. i didn't even know his name until you told me." he defends. i drop my head in between my knees and begin sobbing. i begin to remember the times he'd been late to meet me at the salon, and other occurrences from before i ever met jungkook. i realize he's been cheating on me for a while now, and i just let it happen. and i was about to let it happen again.

"jungkook what do i do?" i ask between sobs.

"you break up with him." he states. those words drove through my heart like a sword. could i even manage that? my sweet and gentle jimin, he would be heart broken. it's not his fault he's like this, it's his exes. she messed him up, now he doesn't feel loved properly in our monogamous relationship. i know that's what he'd say when i confront him. i'm worried i won't be able to go through with it.

"i can't..." i trail off. jungkook drops his head as if he knew i would say that.

"well then let's make him break up with you." he states.

"how?"

"we'll let him catch you cheating." he smirks at me.

"jungkook that will ruin my reputation." i shoot him down immediately. the students respect me on campus, no one likes a cheater, if i do that, business will get slower than it already is.

"min, that kiss was amazing. that's not a kiss that you give out when you're in love with someone else. you need to realize you don't love him anymore. you're just comfortable with him." jungkook stares into my eyes.

"i do love him..."

"really? if you're in love with him don't kiss me back."

"wha-"

jungkooks lips meet mine once more. i feel a tingling sensation all over my body as his tattooed hand runs through my hair. i can't help but to kiss back, i wasn't even thinking. my body wanted him and that's all i knew in that moment. we became breathless as our lips moved together, craving one another. his other arm slides under my leg as he lifts me up and carries me to the couch.

he gently lays me down, lips not leaving mine for even a second. he climbs on top of me and our bodies mold together like one. my legs wrapping around his waist, his waist sinking into mine, stomachs breathing together. he abruptly pulls away, making me reach for him which makes him chuckle darkly.

"is this how you feel when jimin kisses you? he asks.

"what?"

"your heart is beating like crazy." he smirks at me and my cheeks flush a bright red. "do you feel like this with jimin?" it's hard to focus on his question when all i feel is his hardened dick pushing against my pelvis. "well? do you?" he asks once more.

"n...no." i breathe out. he smirks.

"this is what it feels like when you like someone, min. just wait until i show you what it feels like when you love someone." he climbs off of me and walks towards the door. "text me when you end it with jimin." and with that he leaves. i lay on the couch in utter shock at what just happened, at what i just felt.

i am in deep shit now.
