Jikook FF

Chapter 14

~A/N: I'm sorry there are a bunch of POV switches in this chapter, but my mind was all over the place, trying to keep up with all my ideas before they flew away again from writer's block.. Everything should make sense though.

Hoseok's POV-

I'm suspicious.

I think that Jimin and Yoongi's relationship seemed to come out of nowhere, honestly. If Jimin had a crush on Yoongi, surely he would have told me, right?

I always thought that if Jimin were to have a crush on someone in our group it would be Jungkook. 

But you don't kiss someone you aren't into, right?

Namjoon's POV-

I stare at Yoongi as Jimin tells us how they are dating. I hadn't even suspected the possibility that Yoongi hyung may have been gay.

Yoongi's face is unreadable, but as Jimin talks, Yoongi's eyes are locked on Jimin's face and he takes Jimin's small hand in his.

Jimin's face flushes pink as he glances briefly down at the hand  around his, and then back up toward Jungkook and then away quickly.

Jungkook turns around without a word and walks out of the room.

Hmm...

Jungkook's POV-

I go to the gym. I had to get out of the house and alone with my overwhelming thoughts and emotions.

Jimin is gay.

I don't know why I'm upset, but that is not why. I find no disgust in it, just anger, something close to... betrayal?

It hurts my chest.

Not the fact that he is gay, but... I don't know.

I can't figure out why I'm so angry.

When I think about how I walked into the kitchen, all I wanted to do was wrench them away from each other. Stand between them and tell them to stop. They don't... belong together. I don't want them together.

I don't know why. I... I'm just so confused.

Namjoon's POV-

"Joonie, it's been hours! If you don't go and get him he's going to hurt himself!" Jin says, looking distressed.

"Where do you think he is?" I ask, heading to the closet for a pair of shoes.

"He's obviously at the gym. That's how he copes with change. With anything actually. He works out until he can't anymore."

Oh, that's not good. I want him to be able to move around tomorrow. We're going to be very busy this week.

-

I find Jungkook on the pull-up bar, earbuds in his ears and his hair damp with sweat.

"Jungkook-ah."

I walk around to stand in front of him. He looks at me and lets go of the bar, landing lightly on his feet and taking out one earbud.

"That's enough." I say. "We are going home."

He pushes his hair back and wipes his sweat with the back of his arm. "It's okay, hyung. I'll be home in about an hour."

"No. I want you to be able to move around without being in pain tomorrow. Come on. Tell me what's bothering you."

"I don't know, hyung." Jungkook says, taking a drink of water. "Something just bothers me. About those two dating."

Oh..."Do you have negative feelings toward gay people, Jungkook-ah?"

"No! No, no, no. I'm fine with that, hyung... It's just... I don't KNOW. I'm.. it's fine. I'll get over it. I'll apologize to Jimin and Hyung. I know how it must have looked."

Jungkook's POV-

When I get home, I take a shower and then head to Yoongi's room, assuming that Jimin would be staying there since the two of them are... yeah.

So I knock on the door.

"Who are you?" Yoongi calls from the inside of the room.

"Jungkook." I say.

"Come in."

I push open the door and cautiously walk into the room, not wanting to witness another love scene.

I find Yoongi alone, sitting on the bed.

 "Where is Jimin hyung?"

"In Hoseok's room. He stays in there. You know that." Yoongi looks at me as if what happened earlier didn't really happen.

"Well, I thought... Okay, nevermind." I open the door to leave, knowing that Yoongi wouldn't mind a swift, down to the point talk. I also don't really want to talk to him right now. "I have no problem with the two of you...dating. Alright?"

Even as I say it, I feel like I'm lying through my teeth, but Yoongi nods. "Thank you, Jungkook."

I leave to find Jimin.

Jimin's POV-

I sit on the bed next to Hoseok and look over at him.

He's upset at me. Probably because I didn't confide in him. I didn't tell him about Jungkook either. I feel horrible. I just didn't want to lose him. What if Hoseok was homophobic? I would lose my best friend. I didn't even want to risk it.

I lie down, putting my head in his lap. "Hyung..."

"Why didn't you tell me, Jimin? Did you think that I wouldn't accept you?"

"Well, I..." 

"You don't trust me?"

"I do, hyung—!"

"Just not enough to come out to me? Or tell me you care for someone?"

"Hyung, I know I hurt you but you have to understand—"

Someone knocks on the door. I don't sit up; I don't want Hoseok to leave. It is his room, but knowing him, he'd walk away and sleep in my abandoned one. I don't want that, and I've decided that I'm going to tell him. Everything.

"Come in!" I call.

Jungkook steps into the room. "Jiminie hyung," he says. "Can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure." I look at Hobi. "Stay here."

"I'm not going anywhere." He says.

I know he's not too angry at me, because his fingers absently run through my hair as I sit up.

I follow Jungkook into the hallway, sliding a poker-face into place. "What's up, Kookie?"

"I know that it seemed like, I was... disgusted, or disapproved of you being... homosexual, earlier. And I wanted to apologize for the way I reacted. I was shocked. I'm sorry, hyung."

I smile at him, trying to wipe the uneasy look off his face.

He smiles back and offers his hand. I shake it and pull him in for an extremely brief hug. "Goodnight, Jungkookie."

"Goodnight, hyung."

 -

I step back into the room and find that Hoseok has gotten into bed.

"Hoseok hyung. I can't handle lying to you, so I'm going to tell you something. You have to keep it a complete secret. You cannot tell anyone."

Hobi sits up and turns toward me. "I promise."

"Okay, so it was Yoongi-ah's plan..."
