Maybe it should have been you (kt ff)

5. Going, gone

Jimin's P.O.V.:

After getting out of the refreshing shower, I make my way to my bedroom, yearning for comfort and simplicity, and decide to don some comfy sweatpants and a worn t-shirt. No need to dress up right now. With a heavy sigh, I flop onto my bed, thoughts swirling in my mind.

Y/n, her brother, and Taehyung are probably almost here by now. I'm torn between coming out to greet them or hiding in my room and allowing the boys to talk to them. It's been about a month since the other guys returned, and I've been doing my best to keep them away from Y/n to avoid explaining what's been going on. I know they'll be furious when they find out how foolish I've been, and I just don't think I'm prepared to face their disappointment.

Summoning my resolve, I drag myself out of bed, deciding that if I have to confront this problem, it might as well be now. As I open my bedroom door, I spot Yoongi stomping down the hall with a grouchy expression. It didn't take long for me to realize that Yoongi is not a morning person, and disturbing his slumber is akin to asking for trouble.

Yoongi suddenly stops and turns to me, his face twisted in a menacing look. "Were you the one making all of that noise?" he says, his voice deadly. I frantically shake my head, "No, I've been in the shower; it must have been the other guys," I say, hoping to divert his attention. Without saying another word, he turns around and heads downstairs.

I cautiously follow Yoongi from a distance, curious to see what he's going to do to the person causing the commotion. He makes his way down the stairs and into the living room, and as I get closer, I can hear voices.

Just as I'm about to follow Yoongi into the room, I freeze upon hearing a laugh – her laugh. I guess she arrived while I was in the shower. Instead of joining them, I decide to watch from the stairs.

I observe as they all start laughing, while Yoongi scolds them for being too loud. I can't help but frown when I see Taehyung whisper something in Y/n's ear, causing her to smile and playfully hit his shoulder. I struggle to contain my anger to avoid doing something impulsive.

After a minute of watching them, Y/n's gaze meets mine, and I tense up. "Jimin?" she says, causing everyone to stop and look at me. "Why are you just standing there? Aren't you going to say anything?" Taehyung says, giving me a stern glare. I look back at him with a blank expression, too drained to argue, "What do you want me to say? It's not like you care about what I think, so just do what you came here to do," I say, unable to meet anyone's eyes.

"Jimin! Don't you think you're being a little rude? You too, Taehyung," Jin says. Jungkook scoffs, "That's how Jimin always is," he remarks. Namjoon, perplexed, asks, "What are you talking about?" as he looks between me and Jungkook and Taehyung.

Taehyung opens his mouth to say something, but Y/n places a hand on his shoulder, stopping him. "Don't, Tae," she says softly, her eyes locked with mine. "Jimin, can I talk to you for a minute?" she says, her expression filled with sadness. I nod, and we silently make our way to the kitchen.

For a moment, we just stand there in silence until I decide to speak, "So you're leaving," I say. She nods, "Yeah, I'm going to live with Jungkook and Taehyung," she says, moving closer to me. "I won't stop you; I know I don't have the right to ask you to stay," I say, turning away to hide my emotions.

"Jimin, look at me," she says gently, lifting my chin so that our eyes meet. "I don't know what happened to you, to us, but I can't handle it anymore. I love you, and I always will, but if I had known that our marriage would turn out like this, I would have never let it happen. You're obviously miserable, and so am I. I'm tired of crying all the time and seeing you so upset. If leaving means that you and I can find happiness again, then that's what I'm going to do," she says, her whole demeanor softening.
