"I have NO idea why he did it, Y/N. I really don't."
You and Jungkook are sitting side by side on the edge of your bed, your head on his shoulder and his arm wrapped around you, rubbing your arm in an attempt to soothe you.
Before this moment, you had spent the past 20 minutes or so telling Jungkook everything while crying and snotting. The spots of evidence can still be visible on his shirt.
Jungkook did nothing but listen. No inputs, no snarky remarks, no facial expressions, not even any threats against Jimin. He was that shoulder you could lean on, an ear to listen to you, and a source of support and comfort.
And he continues to uphold this, going back to not speaking after that one sentence.
The silence that carries a few sniffles from you continues for about another 5 minutes.
You cough a little bit before speaking. "Thank you, JK. I really mean that."
You can feel him nod his head from the little movement his shoulder made. "You're welcome, Y/N. I'm really sorry this happened to you. You of all people don't deserve this."
You continue to stay silent.
"But may I add some input? I won't if you don't want to hear it right now." he asks.
At first you don't want to, but whether it be funny comments or not, you really don't care at this moment. So, thinking it over, you give him a soft "mhm" to signal him to go on.
You can tell he is trying to piece his words together carefully by the slight hesitation in speaking. He then sighs, and begins. "In no way, shape, or form am I saying what Jimin did was right. Keep that in mind okay? Okay? I'm not gonna continue until you verbally agree." Your eyebrows furrow a bit at the sudden request, but you tell him you agree. "Okay. What he did was wrong. Yes. But all those comments and remarks I made about you two being together? Nothing but good comments? I meant that. One hundred percent from the very bottom of my heart. And that's saying something, Y/N."
You look down and start to tear up, because you feel the same way too.
Jungkook continues to speak, but this time, he laces his words with even more caution. "With that being said...Y/N, I would never lie to you about this stuff, but....I really think you two can work things out."
You stop breathing for a moment.
"WHAT???" you say loudly, making him slowly shut his eyes as if he expected this.
"Y/N..." he tries to start, but you cut him off. "NOOOONONONO WERE YOU NOT LISTENING TO ME?? HE MADE A BET THAT HE COULD SUCCESSFULLY SLEEP WI----"
"But he didn't." he cuts you off right back. You're about to let all heck loose until he puts a finger up to stop you so he can continue. "And guess what? It's because he CHOSE not to."
You look at him like he's a math equation.
Huh???
"W-Well just because he didn't at that time doesn't mean he was NEVER gonna try an--" you are cut off once more by Jungkook.
"He. Was. Not. Going. To do it." Jungkook says slowly. "Plus, the stupid bet was about to end anyways because the deadline was the end of your semester. Don't you think he would've tried by now?"
Well....he does have a point about that....
....wait a second.....
Your eyes slowly start to grow double in size, while your eyebrows furrow and your mouth becomes agape. "How the HECK do you know this???"
The boy looks down while slightly chuckling. "Because he told me everything before you found out."

(Flashback-Jungkook's POV)
"You did WHAT???"
It was a normal day for Jungkook. He had went out to the arcade with some friends, and afterwards he decided to get some ice cream. As he was finishing, he got a call from Jimin. They had been getting close ever since a few days after Jungkook had caught Jimin spying. So, expecting another pleasant conversation with him, he picks up with no hesitation.
Oooooh boy he was NOT expecting this conversation.
"I know I know...and I need help...please." the sad voice on the other end said. Jimin had told Jungkook everything. From how it started to how he currently felt about the situation and you to spilling the fact that he decided he would never do such a thing to you. He laid it all out to Jungkook.
Jungkook slapped his forehead and dragged his hand down his face, stopping over his mouth for a moment. "And why did you decide to tell ME this instead of Y/N?"
Jimin hesitated before answering his question. "Because I had a lingering feeling that if I told her before you, you would hate me too. And I think of you as an older brother to me...and...a-and..." the boy started to whimper softly. "I don't want to lose what I have with you, and I don't want t-to lose what I have with Y/N. Because it was about her, I will have to work even harder to earn her trust back. Jungkook, I really love her. I really do. P-Please believe me."
All Jungkook could do was sigh. "I believe you buddy. I believe you. Plus, like I said, I prefer you over sunshine creep any day."
Jimin chuckled over the nickname Jungkook gave Hoseok. "B-But....why are you so calm with this? I thought you would scream and threaten me or something?"
"Don't get me wrong, I AM disappointed in you Jimin. That's my sister you are doing this to. And NO ONE deserves to be a subject to that crap" Jungkook told the boy in a slightly scolding tone. "But you're in high school. Some boys make dumb decisions like that. Same goes for girls. Heck, even I made a bet similar to that before in high school, but it sure as heck wasn't about sleeping with girls."
Noting that Jimin is still listening by his silence, Jungkook continued. "All I have to say is, you need to fix this buddy. I have to be the one cleaning up your mess, so you better be happy that I like you. NEVER do this again, okay?"
"Okay, I promise on my life I won't." Jimin replied without hesitation. "I was feeling terrible about it from about halfway through this semester, around the beginning of our relationship. But...I don't know how or when to tell her. I'm...I'm just so scared."
"I hate to tell you this, but you honestly brought this on yourself Jimin. You gotta do it ASAP. Yeah, she may claim to hate you, but if you REALLY love and care for her like you are telling me.....and like I BELIEVE you do....I have no doubt you will fix this and not give up." Jungkook ended in a soft older-brother tone.
Jimin sighed. "Thanks, bro. I will do my very best."
"I know you will, Park Jimin." Jungkook said with a small smile, contradicting his inner feeling of knowing he was going see you completely broken. They wrapped up the phone call after talking a little more.
After Jungkook put his phone in his pocket, he deeply inhaled, and released a breath of slight worry laced with a little hope.
"I know you will."
A/N: Sorry for breaking your hearts from the last chapter :(
