(Jimin's POV)

No.

No.

No no no no NO.

His heart starts to race, thumping so hard one could practically see the outline of it beating through his shirt. Banging on the cages of ribs of his chest, begging to leave.

He glances at your eyes.

Full of hurt. Full of tears. Full of betrayal.

His eyes begin to mimick yours full of tears....only there are different emotions.

Panic. Confusion. But mostly...guilt.

She knows.

She knows.

Jimin tries to speak, but as if his throat forbade him to, he struggles to talk. "H....Wh....I.....How did you....."

"Hoseok. Hoseok sent me this. How could you....how could you....HOW COULD YOU????" With each word you spoke, you broke even more.

Hoseok.

That. Mother. Freaking. Snake.

Jimin looks down. Throat clenching, he tries to hold back the waterfall of guilty and angry tears that dare to break through. However, this is pointless because of what you said next.

"HOW COULD YOU FREAKING DO THIS?? AFTER ALL THIS TIME, I WAS JUST PART OF A STUPID BET??? YOU FREAKING LIED TO ME. FOR MONTHS JIMIN. MONTHS. I TRUSTED YOU. I EVEN CHOSE YOU BECAUSE I FREAKING LOVE YOU. SO EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER SAID ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT ME WAS A LIE TOO??? HUH???"

Jimin's heart slaps him out of his guilt daze, immediately responding to your accusation. "I NEVER lied about that. Out of everything you think is a lie, I swear on my LIFE Y/N I've never lied about that."

All you do is roll your eyes, laughing a laugh of spite. "I can't believe I allowed myself to let you in," you say deathly low while tears stream down your face. You ball your fists tighter with each word spoken. "I should have known you would do something like this."

"YOU CHANGED ME Y/N." he says louder. "YOU helped break that persona of mine."

He takes a step towards you.

"YOU made me realize that I can actually LOVE someone."

Another step forward.

"YOU made me see that there IS hope in me finding my one and only, and to stay with her and her ONLY."

Three more steps forward.

"I swear I regret it all. I felt this way halfways through and I should have told you sooner but I was a freaking coward and wanted to keep it to myself."

He is in front of you.

He is a crying mess now, and so are you.

Jimin takes an excruciatingly deep breath. "You have every right to hate me and what I did. I have no excuse. But please know that you have made me regret ever doing that stupid bet with my friend for a while. I'm so sorry. Everything I feel for you is real. This I promise. Everything I feel for you is real." He puts a hand to your cheek. "Please forgive me."

He takes in another breath as he sobs. He says quietly, looking into your eyes that glow with anger and hurt. "Please forg-give me Y/N.....p-please."

Jimin can see you trying to calm down, thinking of this as a sign of a step towards forgiveness.

You look him dead in his eyes.

"Get out."

And his heart drops as he hears those words.

"Get out get out GET OUT!!!" with every other word, you push him backwards towards the door. "I NEVER W-WANT TO SEE Y-YOU AGAIN."

Jimin plants the heel of his farthest foot into the floor and grabs your arms gently. "I'm so s-sorry. I'm s-so so sorry Y/N." You struggle in his grasp, your head low in the gravity of your now broken heart, full on sobbing.

"GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE!!" you screams as you manage to get your arms free. "NOW BEFORE I SLAP THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF YOU."

Jimin is absolutely broken. He takes one look behind you, takes a breathe, then looks back at your eyes. "I'm so sorry," he says as he grabs his shoes and walks out the door while wiping his face with his sleeve.

Before he can close the door, it slams in his face, just barely missing his nose.

He quietly places his forehead on the door, raising his hand to touch it as well.

He can still hear your sobbing.

And he regrets everything.

His bet. His former playboy nature.

His lie.

He stays there for a few seconds more, allowing himself to be engulfed in the suffering state of sadness.

And little does he know, you are on the other side of the door, doing and experiencing the same exact thing.

~~~~~~~

(Y/N's POV)

You sob as you place your forehead on the door you just slammed in his face.

No thoughts are running through your head, for you are too broken for anything to run through your mind.

There is however one question that stands over you.

The question of "why".

WHY did he do this?

WHY did he keep this from you?

WHY didn't you follow your initial gut before he changed how you felt?

Why did he lie?

With this, you sob even harder and place your hand on the door.

You feel like dying. Dying from the sudden fact and piece of evidence sent to you. Dying from the pain of your heart. Dying from the emotional darkness threatening to swallow you whole.

Just....why?

"Y/N."

You feel a hand on your shoulder, and you immediately run into the secure arms of your brother, which he more than willingly welcomes you in.

"I got you. I got you Y/N." Jungkook says while resting his cheek on your head while one of his hands are caressing the back of your head in an attempt to soothe you.

"I H-HATE HIM I HATE HIM I-I HATE H-H-HIM!!!" you wail into his chest while clutching the back of his shirt tighter.

"No you don't" he immediately replies.

"YES I FREAKING DO." you retort.

"No. You don't." he says right back.

"CAN YOU NOT FREAKING ARGUE WITH ME RIGHT NOW PLEASE??" you say in stress and exhaustion.

Jungkook takes the hint, and tells you to come with him up to your room. Still holding on to each other, you two ascend the stairs for your destination.

As you approach your room, that remaining question buries itself within the crack of your broken heart.


Why Jimin....why???
