"I'm sorry about Jimin hyung...." Taehyung apologized catching Jungkook off-guard.
"Huh? What? Why are you saying sorry Taehyung?!" Jungkook asked, getting confused.
"It's just, he suddenly appeared and–"
"Relax Tae, why are you saying sorry on his behalf? It's absolutely not your fault. Forget about him for now."
"Hyung, I know you're trying to act strong but you know you can trust me and tell me what's on your mind."
"I do trust you, Taehyung. And I'll definitely let you know if something's bothering me." Jungkook sighed, "I was just wondering that how do people change so much within a short period of time."
"Yeah...he is no longer the Jimin hyung I used to know."
"Anyways, no need to waste our time thinking about him. Let's get ready now or else we will be late. And do you want me to drop you off to college?"
Taehyung's jaw dropped listening to Jungkook's words. Is he really offering him a ride?
"Hey Taehyung, are you okay? Why aren't you answering?"
"Wait hyung...can you pinch me? I wanna make sure I'm not dreaming–"
"Well, how about a smack on the head, Taehyung?"
"Erm...no thanks...I was just joking but–"
"But what?"
"I mean it's good but still unbelievable that you're trying to move on and you're gonna drive me to college too. Also last night's events...it still feels like a dream."
"Well, it's better to move on. I've realised there's no point in thinking about that asshole. And we sorted out our misunderstandings last night. Do you not want me to move on?"
"Of course I do, hyung. I do want you to move on and live your life happily."
Jungkook smiled, "Then let's work out on our relationship."
"Yup, I'm always ready for that!!" Taehyung said enthusiastically.
"Well, aren't you getting too excited?"
"Haha, am I?" Taehyung nervously laughed making Jungkook chuckle.
"Now enough talking!! Let's get ready."
"Yes sir!!"

"Heyyyy Tae, wassup? You look very happy today." Hobi asked.with a smile spread across his face.
"Yeah Hobi, I should be happy today. Jungkook hyung gave me a ride to college. I guess I'm falling for him."
"You're falling for him or you have already fallen for him?"
"I don't know dude, but I think I got friendzoned.
"What? Wait–did you guys sorted out everything?"
"Yeah...we did. We took the first step in our relationship. We became friends."
"Wow, that's a great thing, Tae. I'm rooting for you two. I'm sure you two will fall in love with each other quickly. Well, you're definitely the one falling in love first."
"Yeah, right.
"C'mon, cheer up. Today, Jungkook hyung dropped you off to college right? Who knows what will happen next? Maybe he will take you on a date?! Omg I'm so excited!!"
"Why are you getting excited, Hobi? You are acting like you're the one going on a date. Plus, aren't you thinking too much? There's no way he would take me out on a date when we just sorted everything out yesterday. It will take some time. Also, I'm worried about whatever happened today morning."
"Huh, what happened?"
"Jimin hyung came back to Korea and he visited us today morning. He was spitting nonsense and was apologizing too." Taehyung sighed after explaining everything to Hobi.
"Shit bro–I have a bad feeling about him. I hope he doesn't cause any more problems."
"I hope so too. I hope he stays away from Kook hyung. If he starts acting suspicious, I won't hesitate to take actions against him."
––––
"Welcome home son. I'm so happy that you're back." Mrs. Park said as she engulfed Jimin into a hug.
"C'mon mom I was busy. I'm happy to be back home too. Btw, I missed your cooking."
"Aww, I'll cook all your favourite meals—"
"Why is no one asking him anything about ditching the marriage and hurting Jungkook? His actions ruined our reputation as well!!" Mr. Park asked sternly. He was trying to hold back his anger after seeing Jimin.
Mrs. Park tsked after hearing him, "C'mon honey, he's finally back home after years. Show some love to him. Why are you bringing the past?!"
"Back home for what? Go back to New York or wherever you can!! I know you came back here with a motive. If not, why the hell would you go to your aunt's house instead of your home?! How the hell did you even think of showing your face to us? Especially to Jungkook?"
Jimin was silent. He knows he will screw up everything if he loses his cool. So for now, he decided to be pretend to be the good guy and apologize.
"I'm sorry dad. I was an idiot for doing that. But trust me, I have no bad intentions. I came back here to repay for my mistakes. I've changed I swear!!" Jimin said while sniffling.
"Look what you did, you made my son cry for nothing!!" Mrs. Park stated in anger as she comforted her son.
Mr. Park took a last glance at his wife and his son before leaving. He can't even tell whether those are Jimin's real tears or crocodile tears.
