JUNGKOOK POV

"I fucking hate secrets." Jimin's deep voice rumbled into the silence, not breaking it so
much as joining it.

"I've never understood why people keep them."

"They just hurt everybody."

I almost smiled because it was true, Jimin was one of the
most honest people I knew.

"Yep."

"And now I've been keeping
this secret."

"I know." I said, wanting to
let him get it all out before I
said more.

"I was doing my job."

He paused and gripped the
chair arms too tight, the wood giving off an unsettling creaking that made me think he might break it if he kept up his hold.

"But it was also my job to be
a good friend to hobi."

he finished, bowing his head.

I wasn't angry but I also didn't think he was handling things the right way by hiding here on his front porch instead of sticking around to be hobi's friend.

Hobi shouldn't have had to call me in tears when Jimin was at his house not that long ago.

"Yes." I said.

He looked up at me, clearly waiting for the rest of the sentence.

"Yes, you should have been
a better friend."

I watched his shoulders slump but pushed through.

"You should have stayed there with hobi, I don't know maybe you should have told him about Tae's involvement even if you couldn't say anything else
becos of the case."

"Maybe you should have given him the choice not to get attached to a marked man
before he ever did."

"I mean, I think that hobi is smart enough to see that Tae isn't the real reason his dad is dead but he's hurting him
right now."

"Who knows what he
might do?

"And they seem so good together."

"This sucks for him."

My voice became steely and
my anger took me by surprise.

"Jimin, our friends are our
family."

"They always have been."

"I mean, if you kept something so big from hobi, what have
you kept from me? Hmm?"

"Especially after we realized
Tae and hobi were a thing!"

I was skipping all over the
place now, jumping between points but my brain was scattered, some thing much bigger was bothering me and
I couldn't put my finger on it.

Jimin stared at me, almost no reaction on his face but I
knew he was listening.

"I know."He said.

"I even understand why you didn't tell him but why did
you keep it from me?"

"If you'd told me, I could have gone with you and tried to
help... smooth things over."

Ahh, there it was, that thing
that was bothering me. Was I
not important enough to fill in?

I kept the rest of my tirade to myself, knowing this was one
of those things I couldn't say.

I should be the person you tell those things to, I should be
the one you tell everything to.

And that was enough of that voice, I decided, shutting down my thoughts and turning my
full attention back to Jimin.
